overdrive

i can drive. i can drive. i can flow with all the other crazy drivers in Cebu. i can steer. i can shift gears. i can touch the break and press the clutch at the right timing so the engine won't stop. i can read traffic signs, overtake other cars and even honk. i am so happy i can drive.
i need to have the laminated version of my driver's license.

was it last month when tv patrol showed the results of a survey done by an american organization that revealed Filipinos to be the most undisciplined drivers in the world. (im not really sure if it said the whole world. *to be continued.*

(id like to drive all over the Philippines, hop from one amazing island to the other. from north to south or from south to north, whichever way is good. connecting each lovely isle with an invisible thread forming a network unifying diverse languages, cultures, people.)

pet update

i think it was two weeks ago when my father, my sister iris and i went to fetch a tiny doggie from the bukids of lahug, cebu city hehe. has it been two weeks? three weeks? im not sure..time flies by so quickly these days. i was surprised when i realized my school papers were already labeled september. hayy naku, anyone please wake me up when september ends. wala lang..song plugging lang.hehe..
back to the doggie.. i wanted to blog about him pero i got stuck with the BA case studies and PFS and the AC33 report.. anyway, he is sooo cute..my father decided to call him badong at first, then decided he should be named budoy (he needs an astig sounding name, coz he's astig) but my sister julia insisted he should be named fido. we call him fido now except for my father who stuck it with the budoy name. this is not good though. it can cause confusion.
unlike our new pet lovebirds that my mother bought a month ago. there were three pairs of lovebirds when they first came to us. i suggested we give each of the feather creatures a unique name to call. names are important ya know.. we named the birds 'birds' coz theyre too many and too confusing. unfortunately, this morning, one of the birds died. it was sad.. my sister said that if a lovebird's partner dies, the other one would follow shortly coz he/she would be depressed and sad of his love's absence. :( my father saw that the dead bird had a deep scar on his head..probably due to pecking. my mother said he/she (bird gender is highly ambiguous) might have been murdered using an 'ice-peck'..get it? lol hehe im sad that he/she is gone though and left another cute birdie behind..
hala oi, daghan pa ayo ko gusto isulti pero dili na ko kahibaw mo istorya or unsa ba..ambot oi. katulgon na sad pud ko..nyt na lang oi..hehehe
