Three weeks ago on Sunday I started driving by myself. It all began with a lot of insistence on my part and a lot of head shaking on my dad's part. That Sunday, day two of the Summer League, I made it a point to drive myself. I was so afraid of the parking cos all the places I've driven to (with my parents around) there were big open spaces for parking. Now I was off to a public place armed with no experience. Good thing I found myself in an open parking lot and everything was fine. After the games, I drove myself to Lola's to congratulations from everyone. Whoo finally.
I still park at my dad's office so I don't need to pay for parking. So I still walk a bit of Paseo and de la Rosa, which I don't mind at all cos walking long stretches on walkways (without having to concentrate on crossing the street) gives me comfort. I daydream. Can't do that while driving, can you? Anyway, today, I got gasoline by myself for the first time. Haha this is such a pathetic post, but I'm writing it for future Ina who may wanna know these petty things. The gas boy was looking at me so strangely. I bet he though I was 16! :D
And tonight, I'm going on my own to practice. It's gonna be a great adventure. My driving life. Such freedom. Nice. Of course, I don't have my own car yet. But that will come soon enough. I'm not worrying about that aspect yet.
