Cu4tro Cantos

The Four Songs of Life

Cu4tro Cantos is the new Ala Eh Blog. Since I cannot provide pure Batangueño articles, I decided a revamp of the site, which I think is more appropriate. Cu4tro Cantos refers to the four members of the Cantos Family. In spanish, Cuatro means Four, and Cantos means Songs.

Paradizoo Tagaytay

We tried it again to continue our Tagaytay Adventure.

Last Saturday, me, Honey, Sam, Ley together with Kevin (Sam’s godfather), went to Paradizoo Tagaytay to experience it and find out what’s wonderful with the place. We had some fun along the trip despite the bumpy road on the way there. We videod some parts of it. It was a long trip. Finally after hours of driving, we arrived at the place. We had to park on an steep and narrow inclined which kept me worried that the car might get hit by other vehicles that pass by.

The facade of the zoo looked promising, it felt like a fun adventure awaits us.

We were first greeted by llamas and turkeys. There’s the five-legged Pig, which by the way, caught my attention since I have not seen strange animals like that before. But it was not that interesting when I saw the pig. It was just lying on the floor, barely showing the fifth leg which does not look like a leg. It looks more like an extra bone that popped out from one leg. Then, lots of pigs.

Next to the piggery was the poultry where white leghorn chickens lay eggs. They have about a thousand chickens there, which are also not interesting.

A Journey to Tagaytay

Sometimes, things happen when it’s unplanned. Though, it’s more probably won’t be as successful as planned. -mrniceash

I’d say, it was a strange day. While we normally go somewhere during weekends to have lunch, today is somehow too different. We only usually hang out on some fastfood and restaurant inside malls where there usually is huge crowd and loud noise that you almost can’t hear what your mate is saying and you have to shout when you speak so you can be heard.

Asus eee wifi connection @ Starbucks

Wow. This is my first to experience this. Having breakfast @ Starbucks while surfing the internet, creating blogposts, reading blogs, reading news. Wow!

The internet connection here is I’d say, satisfactory. It’s fast enough.

I wish I had a helmet

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!

My First Car Accident adds more to experience

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.
