okay not really.

so today is my very first day behind the wheel of a moving car. and no, i don't mean the gulong wheel. basta yun. period.

grabe while many people in my class can drive na, i have been stuck at envy for so long. but thanks to my dad's being away for a few weeks, driving here i come!

it all started when i applied for my student's permit together with my brother, my mom (she has to be there to give my brother consent), and this guy from my dad's office who's friends with LTO people. mmmmmm, corruption.

LTO is a cesspool of probable long cancer patients. there were people smoking everywhere! so second-hand smoke was wafting all around. aren't you supposed to NOT smoke in public places? basta it was so offensive. and my head was dizzy from all the smoke.

and then you have to wait for your turn for the picture-taking session! i can almost hear tyra banks screaming "WORK IT" somewhere. but then again, LTO is a government agency. so you have to settle for a webcam. then i was standing in front of the camera for n minutes, then the guy working there shooed me! was my picture already taken? why was i not informed? wala man lang "smile!" grabe i think i was looking at elsewhere. hello, to have your picture taken in front of a lot of people isn't exactly america's next top model moment!

and then nakuha ko na the next day yung SP ko while yung ibang tao were waiting for their's last week pa! haynaku, red tape talaga. tapos my mom had her license renewed. may medical and drug testing daw. oh no this will take looooong, i thought. but no! after 20 minutes or so, she came out with all smiles! there is nooooo way that she could be finished. then i asked her what happened. all she had to do was to fill up some forms and voila! instant certificate with a doctor's signature! this is why we have a lot of bad drivers out there. red tape talaga, oo.

and today i went with my brother for our first hour of driving lessons. basta it was fun. para lang akong naglalaro. maybe because may instructor pa sa tabi ko? basta, fun! and muntik na akong bumangga sa isang truck! and ang hirap pala kung hindi perfect yung outfit mo pag nagmamaneho. it's uber hard to step on the gas!

and congrats to daniel for his license na. :D
