tam's driving school
Attending driving school in AAP is totally useless. I only learned how to move forward. Yeah, not even backwards. I didn't even learn how to deal with deadly u-turns and intersections.
I remembered my mom telling me that the hardest places to shop-lift are 7 eleven shops. Why? because the one who designed where to place was AN EXCELLENT SHOP LIFTER! Relating that with driving, i thought the best teacher i could have is a daredevil in the streets. Hah, good thing there's Tam.
First "lesson" was from his village along commonwealth, i have to cross the extremely widened roads of commonwealth right away so i can take a u-turn. Cars, busses (na tagilid na) and jeepneys in commonwealth drives like die-hard f1 fanatics. From his village to the u-turn slot, i really have to take the shortest way possible or else i wouldn't make it. In other words, that's like saying i have to be a this turtle crossing on a highway, making a left diagonal path to reach the other end. So, every vehicle passed by me kept blowing the horn enough to piss me off. What the fuck ? tatawid ako eh! So i brought down my window and kept yelling "FUCK YOU!" to every vehicle that wouldn't let me pass. I yelled about 15 times before I finally reahched the u-turn slot. I even yelled at a motorcyclist who was really funny because his face was saying "WHAT THE FUCK!?". The ride was so frightening that even daredevil Tam thought we wouldn't make it alive. Later that day, I was in the same situation. This time, we're headed to the right side. I couldn't yell "FUCK YOU!" anymore because the cars were too far to hear. Tam brought down his window and I thought he was going to do it for me. But he didn't. Instead, he signaled with his hand that we were going to the right "Alam mo, Francis, mas gumagana kasi pag ganito eh." and immediatley, the cars stopped to let us pass. Lesson learned.
One night we were going home and in the same freaking road, a jeepney cut us so close that i jerked the car to the right or else it would've hit the front of the car. That really pissed me off and pressed AND HELD on the horn. I went to the left side of the jeepney. THen, Tam brought down the window. (I thought he was going to signal to the right) But he didn't. But he did brought out his hand but this time, with a solid FUCK YOU hand!! OH YEAH!!!! Tam told me that next time, i shouldn't have jerked the car to the right or else i would've hit another car. I should've just slammed on the breaks. If ever the jeepney hits us, it's still the stupid driver's fault. On the other hand, if i hit someone else, it would turn out to be my fault. And then tam said usually if someone cuts him like that, he would go in front of the vehicle and stop. and wherever the vehicle goes, he will follow in front and then stop again.. followed by diarrhea of unlimited ammunition of cusses. Lesson learned.
