Driving Skill Update

it has been a week that i have been bringing Candy (our little red car) to and from the office. so far, i have improved a little. haha. however, the good news is... she's still scratch-free, reddish and a beauty. =) as to how much i have improved and still needs to improve???....

the plus points:
  • i now leave the parking lot with the handbrake off. yeah, yeah. it's not an excuse, but there's always a first time. ;)
  • i now get on the car without the chills. added a little confidence (and positive thinking!) that i will not get into an accident when i'm on the road.
  • my luck always work on me each time i search for a 45 degrees parking. yippee!
  • i now learn that i should queue in gas stations with the dispenser on the left and not on my right. hihi. buti mabait yung pinoy gasoline boy at ni-try i-extend yung hose ng gas para sa akin..
  • i can now change lane without being honked at or a near-death experience. =)
  • and finally, i now gained some guts to honk on drivers like me. ngehehe.

the minus points:

  • 90 degrees parking is still a hit or miss thing. any kind of reverse parking is a big no-no.
  • i am still estimating the distance if Candy can fit or not. kulang na lang eh bumaba ako't sukatin ng metro. hehe.
  • i am still a "potato" sometimes and cars behind still honk at me. why don't they build their own highway???!!! ggrrr...
  • i still need to be familiar with the streets.
  • i still don't take roads with roundabouts. hindi bale nang ma-late basta walang roundabout. hehe.
  • still no night driving please. yep, takot ako sa dilim. =)
  • i still cannot see where all those damn cameras are located!!!

nope, i still don't bring Lance along when i am driving. he's safer at home. however, i now accept friends who wish to tag along as they have lived a full life already. hehe.
