as my old mentor would have said,
"marami ka pang bigas na tutukain."

i never would have thought, that i would get towed, because i always parked in "safe" areas.
well, my son just called.
"na-tow away ako."
da truth!

the Lord wrote the book on curve balls.

heh heh.

actually seeing this thread nagulat ako na pinapalitan pala yun

Nung college ako (box type) until I graduated + first few years of work (Corolla E100) ako lang nag-maintain ng car ko and never ko sya pinalitan...

Check ko nga service receipt ko next time. hehehe
