Driving school

marunong naman ako mag drive ng automatic talagang takot lang ako sa traffic. Yun yung dahilan kung bakit ng disisyon akong pumasok sa driving school, para mawala ang takot ko sa mga kotseng nasa paligid ko. Limang araw lang yung pinili ko, pinakamaikli dahil refreshment lang naman kelangan ko. May kamahalan yung 5 araw na yun pero inisip ko na lang na investment ko yun sa buhay ko, dahil habang buhay ko naman magagamit yung skill na yun. Hindi naman pwedeng pagwala akong driver wala din. Nag enjoy naman ako sa limang araw na yun, mabait pa yung tutor ko. linagpasan na namin yung basic dahil sa drive test kaya ko naman. Kaya unang araw ko, sa traffic agad kami. at ilang beses ako napatayan dahil my clutch yung kotse. Pero okay lang naman, dahil pagdating ng ika tatlong araw para na kong pro driver(yabang ko lang). Kung iisipin hindi sulit yung 5 araw ko, dahil dapat 1 oras sa isang araw, eh pagpatak ng ikatlong araw 45 minutes na lang dahil medyo mayabang na ko, mabilis na rin takbo ko, kaya mabilis din namin naikot yung sudad.

wala na kasi yung ate ko, pumunta na ng ibanf lugar, gusto ko sana ako naman ang mgdrive para sa nanay ko, kaya gustong gusto ko matuto, pero my mga bglaang disisyon na nagyari, kaya ngayon na marunong na ko mgdrive sa traffic, nghihintay na lng ako ng tsempo kung kelan ko yun magagawa. Sana bigyan parin ako ng oras para dun. Na ipangako ko kasi sa sarili ko noon na i didrive ko ang nanay ko, hindi man ng sarili kong kotse pero atleast kahit minsan nagawa ko yun.

My dad's single, abrupt decision, that drastically change my life. I don't really knew his plan, but I know deep inside it is for the best of everyone.

It frighten me just thinking about it, I don't really know if I'm ready for this. Nobody knows why he made this sudden decision, we had several explanation of our own, but nobody can actually tell. It frightens me, us, everybody around him.

This is very unusual of him.

He is only 53, too young to retired from his own beloved business and he commands me to take charge of it. He is simply giving it to me, to handle it on my own. The trust is so delicate I'm afraid to touch it, it might crash easily. He still  take care of the accounting and the orders but everything that happens inside the store is my concern.

I know, i can handle this, as long as he is there, i know everything will be okay.

My love story

Our love story was just ordinary like everyone else, we are two strangers who met and suddenly became a lover.

Everything began last 2009, it was my 22nd birthday and since my friends left for good and some already graduated, I was all alone in a big city. I remember my close friend Mark is still in the city, so I decided to call him and ask him out. I also asked him to bring some of his friends because it is awkward that we drink one on one. I'm a better drinker, so I might drag him out of the club in the end and he is way too big for me.

So he brought his best friend Perbz, and one of their friends, Ricky. I never met both of them before, so I thought. So we spend the night celebrating my birthday and sometimes I caught myself staring at him. He suddenly looks cute to me, it must be the beer.

I don't remember what happened that night, all I know it end up and he is my boyfriend already. I thought it was just the beer talking that we end up together that night. I'm not even sure if we're going to last for long.

Then the next day, my actual birthday, we ended up drinking again and this time, he ended up to my pad. I thought this was the game he was after. Well, I could play better.

I woke up the next day by him at my side. So we bid farewell and I knew that would be the end, so I thought.

The day came smoothly to me, not expecting him anymore. But he was back, the afternoon of that day, and still came back, everyday of the week that I was still in the city. We spend more time together; we went to mass and dine out together. We lived like a real couple. He stayed to my pad more than he stayed to his boarding house.

I already knew that he was a player, I learned it through time. Well who wants to have a guy who's a player? But it was hard to get rid of him; I was just waiting for the right time.

And the supposedly time came, he was about to graduate and I am about to get away from the city. I cried because somewhat, I already learned to love him.

But I don't really know what happened next, we still end up seeing each other through the summer, I used to visit the city and he is there. And suddenly, the unexpected thing happened, I got pregnant by him. Yeah, the perfect timing where we talked each other and when we are ready to let go, boom! Just like that.

Everything ends, but not us. With the existence of our child our bind became tighter.

2010 we got married and still trying to be strong. We are still trying to believe that everything will be okay. Still surviving and staying in love.

And I remember that Mark told me once that he already brought perbz to the apartment, the place we used to hangout. But Somehow I know he was telling the truth, I just don’t notice him then. We were at the same place but never knew that we going to end up together. I still wonder why cupid didn't hit us at that time and I guess Love also needs a perfect timing.
