After the car battery was replaced early this morning, a couple of test starts were done, and car started fine. However, a few hours later, when I was about to leave for church, the car wouldn't start at all again. So after church, my dad and I took battery to an auto parts shop to be tested. I guess the battery did charge last night, but it was no longer capable of being charged to full capacity nor was it capable of holding its existing charge for long. It's understandable, I suppose. I bought my car used about three years ago, but it looks like the battery hasn't been changed from the original one installed at the factory back in 1998.
Oh, I was watching the NBA Finals with some people from church today. Around the 2nd quarter, they started listing all 100+ languages that the game was being aired in. Being the majority of the people in the room were Filipino, we started cheering when Tagalog came up. O_o;; Then, even more unexpectedly, they showed a couple of Filipino announcers on camera. Then, even much more unexpectedly, those guys were doing play-by-plays in Tagalog for about 2 or 3 minutes. It took us a few seconds to realize that what was coming out of the tv wasn't English anymore. Sure, it's wasn't pure Tagalog... more like Taglish, but it was pretty cool nonetheless. But hey, Taglish is probably the form of Tagalog I end up using anyway.
