I used to wonder often why Jo loves driving so much. I mean, I have people who can drive for me and they don't seem to enjoy it as much as Jo does. And why drive when there's someone else who can hold the wheel for you?
But now, it has come to my senses that driving is more than what I thought.
NEW LOVE!! DRIVIIIIIIING. :D :D :D
I started driving last Tuesday and goodness, I have not felt this certain kind of rush when I'm driving in anything else.Yes yes I know. It's weird. But there's this something that goes on in me when I drive. I've been driving everyday and it just feels greater by the day.
I'm not YET great at it but I can do it. I'm only holding a student's permit but what the hell. :)) One year, in one year, I can drive by myself! Wiiii!
See, I have this fascination for speed. (The only reason why I love love love roller coasters) And like Gaby, the fascination for adrenaline rush. Oh no, I don't race. However, I wish I could. Anyway, at least, somehow, with my driving, I can channel my "need for speed" to my driving.
I don't do manual cars. I wish I could. Then again, I know it's not gonna happen. Para matupad yung want slash dream ko of racing. Haha! I don't have my own car either. Dream on. HAHA! Once I can drive on my own, though, I can use the car for all I want. It's only been 5 days of driving but my mom already let me use up the gasoline whenever I want to.
I cannot do so much yet. I am not yet tightly bonded with driving. But I have done a lot in the past 5 days...
The first day, I almost hit a Subaru. Go me! But I didn't. Go me, again. And it was my first time to drive to Cash and Carry. Second day, I can't remember na. :)) Basta yun. I already encountered car-driving assholes. I encountered kids who could not care less about cars passing by. And I've done services for people already. :)) I brought my sister to St. Scho this morning then brought my mother to Cash and Carry. After that, we went to our old house. I have explored the streets of my city. I have been to MoA and Makati. Oh, goodness, how I love Makati. And and and!!! I used Bea (Jo's car) when I was with Jo (obviously) from Taft to MoA. And Jo pushed me to drive up that mall parking. And I got to park. Although, I sucked at it more than I've ever sucked at anything else. YEAH THAT BAD. I drove at night already. A while ago, I went to our old house then to MoA then to Ayala. FUN!! And my reflexes are getting better. I'm loving driving more and more and more and more!
And you know what else I love?
Driving at night. The lights, they're all so beautiful. They don't distract me. They fill me, somehow. I was driving at Makati, 8 pm, lights and buildings around me... BEAUTIFUL, I say. :)
So much for that. :))
Now, I have a new dream. I dream of filling the entire tank with gas. And I'll have money for food... and lodging maybe. I'll bring some clothes. And I'll have someone with me. Jo, most probably. And I'll drive to wherever my wheels take me. And in that moment, I'll be happy. :D
BOW. :D
