"Altercation" with the driver of Honda Civic WJZ 482

[Lyle]

Ingat po, baka makatagpo po tayo ng katapat at maging huli na ang lahat. Try to set an example to other drivers out there, even though you're thinking wala ng pag-asa umayos ang mga pilipino sa pagmamaneho. That's why personally I don't use my horn even though I get really pissed off by other drivers as it sends the wrong message. Or I just do a slight honk when situation calls for it.

matapos ang pangyayari, narealize mo broTS na ikaw ang may pagkakamali....

thats good.....

mga pangyayari na yan ay talagang minsan ay di maiwasan....

maging aral sana sa ating lahat na humahawak ng manibela...

laging tandaan: laging alerto sa pagkakamali ng ibang driver....

isiping lahat ng driver sa kalye ay barumbado...

change what you're listening to something relaxing say . . . "Down with the sickness". . kidding aside breathe deeply for 10 counts, you'll feel better.

Actually, I now reside in Las Piñas. Thanks for reminding me to update my profile.

As for raising his arm, I'm quite sure he wasn't saying sorry because if he was, I wouldn't have given him the bird and we would've been on our merry way, no worries.

I don't know what happened this morning, but I quickly cooled off after being told off by my girl and upon seeing the kid in the Honda.

In any case, I was in the wrong to have taken this farther than it should have. It should have ended when he raised his arm to gesture whatever.
...

Yup,- I am happy that you found a Partner who would impress on you the other side of the issue, and most importantly, you listening to her... That's something/somebody which/who we are all looking for...

I see that you're bothered by him taking pics of you and your ride... I myself would be terribly irritated. I'll also be on the lookout for that ride, with that abrasive driver...

this is true to me.. sometimes or most of the time nakakaapekto yung kind of music that we listen to. here in manila, i normally listen to 105.1 & 106.7... para chillax driving lang.. kahit super traffic. para iwas init ng ulo... & of course yung 90/10 principle.. share ko lang..

What is this principle?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react. Let's take an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter. Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?



A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?
The answer is "D".


You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say," It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having. Notice the difference? Two different scenarios.


Both started the same.


Both ended different.


Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.


Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle.
If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc. How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work ? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it. You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.

safe driving peeps.

Just to update this, I see this guy every now and then and during the times he sees me, he still gives me the evil eye and drives like a tool.

A good example is this morning, we were driving along then this guy passes my driver side real close like, I recognize the plate number and take a different lane. Now he tries to follow but since this happened at the bend from Alabang Zapote to Coastal (where all this really started in the first place), those of you who pass here know that this stretch of road really tests your suspension, so he stays stuck at the lane with the buses. He quickly tries to catch up with me along Coastal but is more or less foiled by other cars which seemed to have agitated him more. There were a few times he would be beside me, I just ignore him so as not to provoke him but his driving is so hostile that even my GF noticed him and asked me what his problem was. I reminded her who that was and she was like "What's his problem?" When along side he would honk his horn and there was a time he was on the passenger side of my vehicle after the toll booths and he was along side with his window down but we didn't bother to look to see what he was doing (though I may have an idea). I avoid him like the plague but he just kept coming. I lost him when a bus crossed behind me to coastal mall and I just drove fast as possible to avoid him and keep as much cars between him and me.

I think he still had the kid with him as I saw the passenger side seatbelt buckled but couldn't see a person.

Now mind you, I've already forgotten about this and here he is, still carrying the grudge. I drove calmly, didn't provoke him, even tried to avoid him but he still kept coming. I guess some guys just can't let it go. Sorry to rant but I had to vent or I may just let the anger take over again. A fully armored truck vs a Honda Civic isn't a pretty sight if ever it comes to that.

"Meron ako kasamang bata." Yet now he's the only one endangering his own. Doesn't deserve his kid.
