It’s too embarrassing! I was on the middle of a busy street when I intentionally turned off my engine since traffic was not flowing at all. I did it to save some gas, too expensive nowadays. And I also read that advise somewhere on the net so I gave it a try. I was too relaxed because the weather is not too hot and I don’t feel the heat at all inside the car. But when the green light appeared, the engine won’t start. And then my sweat started to come out like bits of corn. I was on my business attire by the way. Much worse, I forgot to turn on the hazards. And now I don’t just wish I had a helmet on, but wishing George Lindemann was my father so I can just leave my car and buy a new one right away.

I am still thankful though because it did not took too long to start the engine back. Finding a parking space was another problem. I waited on the line for about 10 minutes. I thought there was just some trouble at the gate until I had a view on the signboard. “Parking Full”. No choice since I was getting late for work, I had to park somewhere more expensive. Whew!

I saw the early evening news one night. There was the usual news on parties debating about Erap’s pardon; some politicians blatantly talking about their desire to run for presidency in 2010 (mahiya kayo sa balat nyo!!!, yung iba dyan, umpisa palang ng termino!)There was also something about Beyonce’s concert. But what got my attention though, is the crime report. The crime watch team chanced upon 2 young Filipinas running restlessly Read More

My friend is coming back from US this December and all my colleagues here started buying items for themselves online to save shipping cost. I decided to have one too. It’s really hard to find one. I’m gonna have this item, it’s also on my wifes list of gifts for me. I find it really cheaper on e-Bay than any store here so I have it. And I paid for it with through Paypal. I just wish the item be delivered on time, and never get lost. I’ll post the details when I already get my hand on it.

Whew! I’m really a noob driver. Not in the way I drive but I lack experience. And this one really increased my driving experience.

I was driving home yesterday morning from the office. I came from a night shift but I’m sure I am not sleepy. Well, I just had a date with my textmate an hour ago that time. When I was about to cross an intersection, these 2 cars suddenly swerved and I was lucky I was able to step on my brakes. Safe stop.

But a second later, I felt like my car moved forward a bit. A car hit my rear bumper. I’m sure, he hit me. There were 3 traffic enforcers, one of them came over telling me to move forward a bit. I did not move forward because I want to check first. So I stepped harder on the brakes and pull the hand brake. And he insisted me to move forward a bit. I didn’t know what to do so I just followed what he said. I moved a bit, stepped on the brakes, pulled the hand brakes, then stepped out of the car. The driver who hit me looked guilty at first, but then I think he thought of a way out.

My bumper did not get any damage. His bumper loosen off. And suddenly he was asking me to pay for it. I said I was the one hit, why will I pay for it. He said I was the one who hit him. He said when I released my brakes, the car moved back a bit and hit his front bumper. I said that it was impossible because I felt it when he hit me. Then he said, alright let’s ask the officers. And the officers had same explanation. And as a noob, I just paid for the damage.

But I guess what happened is this. When he hit my back, he suddenly moved his car away a little bit to give a little space so it will look like he did not hit me. And when the officers came, they saw that it was just close so they asked me to move forward. And when I released the brakes, my car move back a bit, and they said it hit the other car. I really can’t imagine the exact moment his car was kissing mine. But it has happened. It’s still a relief because I did not have to go to a repair shop but rest all day.

I hope it won’t happen again.

I have been wanting to welcome this blogger back. But then always forgets. Aging. Welcome back, Sugarplum Fairy.

She’s my sexy Filipina wife. Actually, before Yuga and Albrine, I already heard the word ‘blog’ from her. That’s my first encounter with that word. She mentioned that she used to write on her Xanga blog before. I don’t think she still remembers her URL.

I can also remember when I created an ASP version of wordpress and she asked me to setup one for her. She had a couple posts but then stopped again. She’s truly focused on office work, that’s the reason.

And now that she’s back again, I hope it never ends this time.

Again, welcome back to the blogging galaxy, Sugarplum Fairy.
