The real you
In the past, when I'd ride with friends (with them driving), I'd find myself surprised or amused at how different they act when they're on the road. For some, it's more or less the same, others make me wonder if there's some hidden angst which they can't seem to release in other ways except driving. I don't blame them either, since driving around in Metro Manila can really bring out your dark side. At the very least, it can make you wonder if it was going to be your last day on earth. (At least for me, that's what happens)
I'd always pictured myself as the relaxed kind of motorist. A defensive driver who'd rather give way than build up stress from trying to cut in all the time. You can just picture it: Smooth jazz playing in the car stereo, me wearing a nice pair of shades and wearing a crisp white blouse and jeans, tapping my fingers in-sync to the beat and sporting a grin all the way. Every now and then I'll just wave over to the next car while we're waiting for the light to turn red at the intersection.
But no... today I realized that perhaps I've got a bit of pent-up anger inside me too after all. I hate it when other cars just cut my path! And goodness, how wonderful it feels to just blast the horn on insensitive drivers. Even if, deep inside, you have a feeling that they don't really give a hoot whether you honk the whole day or not.
And at some point I just FLEW. Just to show the guy behind me that I can speed away if I wanted to. And that burst of speed didn't scare me at all, surprisingly. I never felt so alive!!! O_O
Omg. Here's a new side of me I never imagined. Don't worry though, I'm still a defensive driver. :) Safety first!
