Parang ayaw kaming papuntahin ng Baguio. We left Makati around 9:00 PM. Me and the kids just hitched with the Nyora. By around midnight, we reached Hacienda Luisita. When suddenly-- pffft... Flat tire?!! Buti na lang, may 24-hour vulcanizing shop nearby. A cutter blade did it and since nag running flat na siya, sira na siya forever. Irreparable.
Kaya kahit hatinggabi na, heto ang Nyora, bumibili ng gulong. Tama ba 'yun? But what can we do? Delikado magtravel ng long distance without a spare tire.
So off we went. Tulog ako most of the time until I heard the Nyora scream.
Nabangga kami. Anuveh!? It was around 4 AM and we were along the zigzag road, a few meters before the Lion. Super light bump lang naman. Didn't even hear the impact. (But then who could hear the sound of impact with the Nyora's scream?) At first, sabi ng nabangga namin P300 daw yung pagawa. Then just when I was about to give him the P300, biglang labor pa lang daw yun and the cost suddenly went up to P500. Ganun?!
Buti na lang, the Nyora's driver Remi haggled and got the price down to P400. Fine!
We reached Baguio around 5:30 AM. Muntik na kaming mabangga uli pero buti na lang the other vehicle missed us (sigh).
Boy -- this is gonna be some weekend!
