WHAT DREAMS MAY COME



Path To A Dream

Nightmares can leave us feeling upset, unsettled and even afraid, but they are not necessarily bad. Ayon sa mga pag-aaral, ang nightmare o ang panaginip in general ay ang paraan ng ating isipan upang mapukaw ang ating atensiyon sa mga isyung dapat na harapin. Sa maniwala kayo o hindi, lahat ng mga bagay na hindi natin alam tungkol sa ating mga sarili ay makikita sa ating mga panaginip.
Kumbaga, ang panaginip natin ang nagsisilbing mensahe mula sa ating unconscious mind that provide us the opportunity to look within ourselves. Kapag natutulog lamang tayo o kapag wala tayo sa ating kamalayan nagiging malaya ang ating utak upang gumana nang mag-isa. Sa pagkakataon lamang iyon malayang nakakapagbigay ang ating isipan ng mga impormasyon sa atin. It is when we fall asleep that the brain has a chance to act alone, without being influenced by the external stimulae that keep it active and preoccupied during the day.

Alam niyo ba kung gaano ka-dedicated ang ating utak sa kanyang trabaho? It takes more than six billion brain cells to produce just one image in a dream, which shows how much the unconscious mind wants to bring information to our attention. Kapag ang impormasyong ito ay naging isang panaginip o sabihin nating naging isang masamang panaginip, ito ay palatandaan na may mga isyu tayong kailangang pagtuunan ng pansin. Ayon sa isang psychology professor ng University of California na si Dr. William Domhoff, dreams are a reflection of our waking thoughts. Idinagdag pa niya:

"The most psychologically interesting factors that shapes dream content are the life experiences that generate each person's mix preoccupations and interests. The intensity of our individual concerns is revealed by the frequency with which people and activities appear in our dream. The way we regard these people and activities in waking life is exposed by the way they are portrayed in our dreams."

Madaming mga sleep therapist ang nagbigay ng iba't-ibang mga teorya upang ipaliwanag ang dahilan kung bakit dumadanas ang isang tao ng bangungot. Heto ngayon ang pahayag ng mga researchers sa Univertsity of Arizona, at ito ay kailangang basahin ng mga taong adik sa blogging at inaabot na ng madaling araw bago matulog dahil sa pagsusulat at pagreresearch para sa kanilang blog. Well, researchers from University of Arizona have pointed towards late nights as one of the main triggers of bad dreams. Sa kanilang pag-aaral, kung saan nag-survey sila ng mga panaginip ng 264 men and women, they found that people who tend to stay up later were 71 percent more likely to have nightmares than those who go to bed and get up earlier.

Ang pagtulog ng alanganin na sa oras ay negreresulta ng abnormal na ugnayan between your sleep schedule and the secretion of hormones related to daylight such as cortisol and melatonin. High levels of the stress hormone cortisol at night may be responsible for disrupting the way the brain archives memories during sleep and cause the brain to interpret those memories as frightening dreams, ayon pa sa mga dalubhasa.

Para naman sa isang masarap, payapa at mahimbing na pagtulog, ayon sa mga eksperto, we need to reduce stress and allow the body and mind to relax properly before we turn in. Avoid, avoid, avoid using computers for three to four hours before going to sleep. Ang computer kasi o ang mga impormasyong nakukuha natin sa computer through internet ang nagpoprovide ng malaking halaga ng mga impormasyon sa ating utak na nagiging dahilan upang ito ay maging highly stimulated habang tayo ay natutulog.

Recommendations for an undisturbed night and peaceful dreams are to engage in soothing, relaxing activities before bed. Meditation, reflection and most of all, focusing on positive thoughts are the best way to prevent nightmares. Try to focus your last thoughts of the day on gratitude, which will put you in a positive, relaxed mindset for the night.

THE "GODZILLA" OF NISSAN

Isang beses ay nasa Dubai Airport ako at hinihintay ang isang kliyente ng aming kumpanya na pabalik ng Kuwait. May usapan kasi kami na magkikita sa airport to finalize some details sa aming deal. Unfortunately, there was a miscommunication at ang hinihintay ko ay nasa Kuwait na pala. So the guy sent somebody to meet me on his behalf. Me and the other guy agreed to meet at the Emirates Towers, at para mabilis ay sumakay ako ng taxi. Along the way ay napahinto ang taksing sinasakyan ko sa Trade Center Interchange dahil naka-red light ang traffic signal. To pass the time, I opened up a conversation with my Pakistani driver.

Suddenly, hindi pa man nagtatagal ang aming kuwentuhan ay napansin agad namin na may humintong dalawang kotse sa magkabilang gilid ng taxi. Ang Isa ay nasa kanan at nasa kaliwa naman siyempre ang pangalawa... Next minute, we found ourselves being sandwiched by two Tuners. Nakita ko na sumisenyas ang driver ng kotseng nasa kanan ko sa kakilala o kasamahan niyang driver ng kotseng nasa kaliwa ko naman. Obviously, they were Arabs. When the light turned green, pinauna na muna ng taxi driver ko ang dalawang kotse, and at that f***in moment, I had this very rare opportunity to take a glimpse of what they were driving. Natulala ako, ‘Dre!... Sabi ko na lang: ”Shit! Skyline ‘yun ah!” The car that was on my right side was a Nissan Skyline R33 or R34, I was not sure. And the car on the left, for sure that it was a 2011 NISSAN GTR.

Maaaring sabihin ninyo:… Duh… So, what’s the big deal?

Let me tell ya, boys and girls… Dito sa Dubai, ALMOST ordinary na lang na makakita ka sa kalsada ng Lamborghini’s, Ferrari’s, Maserati, Aston Martin o Alfa Romeo. Well, mapapalingon ka pa din and I can say na sa isang araw mo nang paglilibot sa buong Dubai, I am sure na makakakita ka ng dalawa o tatlong Lambo at Ferrari. Kundi naman, apat o limang Maserati o Aston Martin. But, Nissan Skyline! Any model! Mag-ikot ka, wala kang makikita. That’s why, itinuturing kong rare opportunity ang gabing ‘yun na makakita ako ng Nissan Skyline with my two friggin’ eyes!

WHY AM I SO FREAKED OUT, YOU ASKED?

Well, guys as a big fan of Tuner cars and of course the Skyline, allow me to share to you a few liiiiittle things about these beasts. Sana ay ma-appreciate ninyo at tanggapin ang aking pasasalamat. Sa mga hindi naman makaka-appreciate, thanks pa din. Kanya-kanya naman tayo ng gusto, diba?

Skyline 2000GT S54

Here we go… The very first Skyline was actually not made by Nissan Motor Company. It was built by Prince Motor Company, and the Skyline made its debut in 1957. In 1963, sumali ang Prince Motor Company sa 1^st Japan Grand Prix na ginanap sa Suzuka Circuit, dito nakatikim ang Prince ng mapait na pagkatalo. Ngunit hindi ito naging hadlang upang sumuko ang Prince, bagkus ay bumuo pa sila ng panibagong modelo ng kotse na isasali naman nila para sa 2^nd Japan Grand Prix. May 1, 1964, two days before the second Grand Prix, inilaunch ng Prince ang Skyline 2000GT S54, with 6-cylinder, 1,988cc (Weber triple-carb) engine. Kumbaga, ito ang naging bunga ng pag-aaral ng Prince Motor Company upang ‘wag nang maulit ang kabiguan nila noong 1963. At ang nangyari pa, kinailangan ng Prince na makapagproduce ng at least minimum of 100units required for GT approval in time for the race. Kaya nang mga panahong iyon, trabahong kalabaw ang ginawa ng mga tauhan ng Prince upang maabot lamang ang target na ito. During the actual race, the car delighted the crowds by briefly leading a Porsche 904. But the trophy was lost to a late-entry Porsche 904, so once again Prince suffered defeat. However, the story of how the 2000GT had put up a brave fight against a Porsche soon spread around the country and the "Skyline legend" was born

1969 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R

Noong taong 1966 ay nag-merge ang Prince Motor Company at ang Nissan Motor Company bringing more upmarket cars, including the Nissan Skyline and Nissan Gloria, into its selection. At noong 1969, ipinanganak ang Nissan Skyline GT-R under the Nissan banner. The main purpose of creating the 2000GT-R was to win the 1969 JAF Grand Prix. At noon ngang MAY 3, 1969 ay nakamit ng Nissan Skyline ang pinaka-una niyang tagumpay sa TS-b Race ng JAF Grand Prix sa Fuji Speedway. Buwan ng October ng taong iyon, ay nakamit na ng Skyline ang kanyang ika-pitong panalo and a fuel injection system was adopted. Pushing maximum output to 230PS/8,400rpm, this gave the Skyline an even greater edge on the circuit. So successful was the GT-R that people said "Skyline’s only rival is Skyline." This vehicle’s momentous record of 50 victories over in a period of 2 years and 10 months will never be forgotten in the history of Japanese racing.

1971

1972 Nissan Skyline Hard Top GT-R

Nang dumating ang taong 1971 nang ganapin ang All Japan Suzuka Automobile Race ay ipinakilala ang Nissan Skyline Hard Top 2000GT-R (KPGC10). Nag-attract ng nationwide attention ang nasabing kotse, ngunit naputol lamang ang kanilang 49 consecutive wins (with 29 consecutive wins for the works team) dahil sa pagkatalo. Ngunit, noong March 20, 1972 ay ginanap ang first round ng Fuji GC Series,ang Fuji 300km Speed Race. Dito! Dito nakamit ng Skyline ang makasaysayan niyang 50^th victory. Nang mga panhong iyon ay masama pa ang panahon, kaya’t binawasan ang bilang ng mga laps mula 20 hanggang 12 na lamang. Raising clouds of spray, car No. 15, a GT-R driven by K. Takahashi, took the checkered flag and simultaneously made history.

Ang masaklap nga lamang, matapos makapag-produce ang Nissan ng 197 units ay nahinto ang produksiyon nito, sa kadahilanang masyadong mahigpit na ang patakaran sa emission standards at pati na din ang international oil crisis. The GT-R would not be seen for the next 16 years.

1989

1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32)

Taong 1989 nang ilaunch ang 1989 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R32) and it took the Japanese automotive market by storm. This car was nicknamed “Godzilla” by the Australian motoring publication “Wheels” in its July 1989 edition. It featured all-wheel Super HICAS steering, AWD and a turbocharged inline-6, walang iba kundi ang RB26DETT. It pumped out 280bhp and 260lb.-ft. of torque. Ang racing debut ng second-generation Skyline ay nang ganapin ang All Japan Touring Car 300km Race noong March 1990. This event was won by K. Hoshino and Toshio Suzuki (Calsonic), but also driving GT-Rs in this series, to the delight of the crowds, were Masahiro Hasemi (UNISIA JECS), K. Takahashi (Advan), and K. Tohira (Zexel). Nang mga panahong iyon, ang category para sa All Japan Touring Car Championship ay Group-A, and in all 29 races of the four series held from 1990 to 1993, the R32 GT-R reigned supreme as the undisputed champion. It was victorious too at the final Group A championship race in 1993, bringing this chapter in the GT-R’s history to a glorious conclusion (from 1994 Group A was replaced by the Super Touring Car).

1993

1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33)

Nismo 400R

Nissan R390 GTI

Taong 1993 nang maidisplay sa 1993 Tokyo Motor Show ang ika-siyam na henerasyon ng Skyline. Subalit inabot pa ng dalawang taon bago ang official launch nito. Taong 1995 ito opisyal na nakilala bilang 1995 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R33). Ang engine nito ay ang improved version ng RB26DETT na may increased torque na 264lb.-ft. Ang R33 ay nagkarera din noong taong iyon sa Ler Mans sa France at nagkamit ng overall position na 10^th at 5^th position naman sa class nito. Nang mga panahon ding iyon nagdebut ang Nissan Nismo 400R. Nang sumunod na taon ay nagkamit ulit ang R33 ng 15^th overall position at 10^th in class position. Dahil ang R33 ay base sa production model lamang at nahirapan silang manalo sa Le Mans, nagdesisyon ang Nissan na magdevelop pa ng mas magarang sasakyan na para lamang sa Le Mans. By 1997 isinilang ang Nissan R390 GTI, at nagkamit agad ito ng 12^th overall position at 5^th in class.

1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34)

Makalipas lamang ang dalawang taon ay inilabas ng Nissan ang kanilang most technologically advanced GT-R nang mga panahong iyon, ang Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34). Ito na din ang pinakahuling GT-R na gagamit ng RB26DETT engine. While horsepower was officially rated at 280bhp, pinilit pa din ng ibang mga aftermarket tuners kagaya ng Mine’s at HKS na makapagdevelop ng sarili nilang Skyline version na may 800bhp. Imagine driving a car with 800bhp… Naging formidable race car ang R34 dahil sa pagkakapanalo ng Pennzoil Nismo GT-R sa ginanap na Japanese Grand Touring Championship noong 1999. 

Pennzoil Nismo GT-R

Ang Skyline GT-R ay nagsilbing bandila ng Nissan Motor Company pagdating sa performance at mga makabagong teknolohiya. Kabilang na dito ang ATTESA-ETS (Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-Terrain) 4WD system at ang tinatawag na Super-HICAS (High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension) four wheel steering.

Hindi naglaon, nang dumating ang taong 2002 ay huminto ang production ng R34.

Nissan GT-R (R35 Concept Proto)

Subalit! Bago dumating ang taong 2002 ay inilabas ng Nissan ang panibago nilang concept car. Ang R35 Concept. Actually dalawang concept car ang inilabas nila noon. Ang una ay noong 2001 Tokyo Motor Show. Kumbaga nagbigay lamang sila ng preview ng magiging hitsura ng 21^st Century GTR. Pangalawa ay noong 2005 Tokyo Motor Show where they unveiled a redesigned concept, ang GTR Proto.

VR38DETT Engine

Two years later ay inilabas ng Nissan ang production version ng GTR noong 2007 Tokyo Motor Show. December 6, 2007 nang ilaunch ito sa Japanese market at noong July 7, 2008 naman ito official na inilaunch sa US market. Ang Nissan GT-R ay nagtataglay ng VR38DETT engine. It was mounted engine and rear-wheel drive dual-clutch gearbox built by hand. Limitado lamang ang production nito na 1,000 units per month. Although, hindi na dinadala ng GTR R35 ang pangalang “Skyline”, may pagkakahalintulad pa din ito sa mga ninuno nitong R32, R33 at R34. At patuloy pa din nitong dinadala ang bansag na “Godzilla”.

Sa kasalukuyan, ang GT-R ay isa sa mga production cars na may record na pinakamabilis na lap time sa Nurburgring. Nagtala ito ng 7:29sec, at standard Japanese market tires lamang ang ginamit nito. Samantala, pinaratangan naman ng Porsche ang Nissan at pinabulaanan nila ang record na ito. Noong 2008 ay nag-conduct ang Porsche ng sarili nilang test sa R35 na may gamit na stock tires, at nagtala ito ng 7:54sec. Isang independent test din ang ginanap para sa R35 na nakapagtala naman ng 7:50sec.

The Fast and the Furious

Hanggang ngayon ay isang alamat pa din ang Nissan Skyline at naging paborito itong gamitin sa mga video games kagaya ng Gran Turismo at siyempre sa mga pelikulang gaya ng Initial D at The Fast and the Furious series. Kaya naman siguro hindi ninyo masisisi ang isang katulad ko kung paano humanga sa halimaw na ito.

Ngayon ay meron nang 2012 Nissan GT-R na powered ng normal na V6 engine na nagtataglay ng hayup na 530 horse-power at 6,400rpm, with tourque: 448ft.-lb. at 3,200rpm. Muli ay salamat sa pagbabasa ng mahabang post na ito at bago ko ito tatapusin ay ibabahagi ko din sa inyo ang Specification ng 2012 Nissan GT-R.

Wika nga nila: “The only thing that can beat a Skyline… is also a Skyline..”
