Today I had my first "car accident" and it was funny because I got hit by a tricycle. And what's even funnier is that there were no scratches. Basically I was just stuck in traffic when this trike inched close to my right side. So I halted. The trike, however, moved forward, and the hook on its lower left portion somehow managed to edge itself on the inner part of my car's front bumper, such that it actually PUSHED the bumper forward and the ENTIRE THING fell off. :p As in with plate number, lights and all. Hahahaha kaloka. And we discovered that the damn thing didn't even have any SCREWS inside to secure the bumper (may SCREW HOLES pero WALANG SCREWS!!!!), so I partly blame Toyota. Bakit ganon??! I am still puzzled until now. So much for SAFE driving. Funny lang kasi we lifted and re-attached the bumper afterward, and it didn't even look like it had fallen off...parang LEGO / Transformers lang. Pero 'yun nga, hindi na siya secure and it still needs to be checked.
In any case, thanks to Dad's excellent negotiation skills (affidavit signing and all that crappity) plus the trike driver's kindness and willingness to admit his mistake (thank God he was willing to wait for Dad to come save us, whilst we hazard parked on the side of the road), it was settled without much ado.
So lesson learned: Huwag nang pagpilitan makipag-gitgitan sa traffic. HARRRRR. :S
* Off tangent, EP 13 of GOSSIP GIRL s02 was definitely kilig-inducing. ♥
