yesterday morning, I met an old classmate friend who is now an executive of a staff building company.

he invited me to lunch and offered his ride to go to the resto. He drives a 3-month old Toyota Fortuner.

i thought i was going to spend the whole day in bed today. the weather was perfect for it. i even planned out what fast-food deliveries to contact in case i got hungry. "it was a day of complete uselessness" so i told myself. Buhay baboy. but then early in the morning i got a text message asking if i was awake, followed by a call from a familiar voice that asked if i had any plans today. naturally i said no. she said she wanted pasta. immediately i began drumming up the lamest excuse so I could stay in bed. Perhaps even convince her to come over hehe? But no, she had made her mind up and even offered to pick me up. Being the half-hearted gentleman, I politely countered her offer. It’s not a problem she said, in fact she was on the road already. That got me shaved and showered up in 10 minutes flat. As I was choosing my underwear (yes guys do choose underwear too) I got to thinking…she’s quite a pushy lassy isn’t she. But what’s even more intriguing is how I’m falling prey to her “suggestions”.

sobrang lakas ng ulan these past few days. kaya din siguro sobrang tindi ng traffic. usually, when it rains i opt to let the traffic pass. have a beer somewhere or grab a bite at the nearest el-cheapo resto. pero this wednesday i decided to brave the traffic despite the heavy rains. sabi nila real men don't bring umbrellas kaya heto ako nagpapaka-macho sa silong ng building entrance namin. a handful of other people were there too, nagpapatila ng ulan. my car was actually around 30 steps away but the rain was really bad.

nung humina na i pressed the alarm button para mabuksan na yung kotse bago ko takbuhin. the familiar beep sounded and my lights flashed. sa periphery ko i saw someone turn to look in my direction then look away again. i glanced to my side and found a lady in a pencil cut skirt and a white polo. very typical outfit of makati girls. Well ok she was cute too.

 the bigger the ego. well that's what they say. i hadn't really noticed till my friend actually mentioned this recently.

her: bakit ang yabang mag-drive ng mga naka-fortuner?
me: ha? di naman siguro lahat
her: they always drive like they own the roads
me: maybe they do...
her: if i owned the roads i wouldn't buy a fortuner
me: meaning?
her: it's the cheapest "big" car and people act as if they're driving expeditions.

they say driving is one of man's simplest joys. i remember seeing an ad for the VW Golf which ended with the tagline "when was the last time you just went for a drive?" thinking about it i never did...especially here in manila. why? 'coz everywhere you look drivers are breaking the rules, testing your patience and jacking up your blood pressure.
