When I was younger, I was ill-tempered and I always kept my gun under the car seat. Lahat na ata ng balasubas sa daan binigyan ko ng dirty finger, especially jeepney and bus drivers. May binasag na akong salamin using my Solex wheel lock. Nakipagsuntukan na rin ako many times with bus drivers. May sinapak din ako before na taxi driver na biglang huminto kasi gustong mag-pick up ng pasahero. Good thing I wised up, bago pa may nangyaring masama.
Nowadays, the gun stays at home at sa firing range ko na lang dinadala.
Mas mabuti na yung pride na lang ang nayurakan, kesa naman buhay. We all have loved ones we need to come home to everyday. Cool na cool na nga ako ngayon, and in the rare instances I lose my temper, I curse the other driver, pero nakataas ang bintana (dark tints) at naka-on ang stereo. Life is too beautiful for me to get involved in such petty matters.
Hindi naman mababawasan ang pagkalalaki natin kung hindi tayo papatol, di ba?
