gusto kong matutong magdriveeeeeee ...

well, i've done 5 out of my 7-hour driving lessons, 2 hours of which is a 'matic car. the farthest i've been to is green meadows (from our house). o diba.

i've done parallel parking, maneuver, U turn, left and right turns. shifted gear up to the 4th. car died on me atleat 5 times. hahaha. so far, so good.

i'd like to do the 'hanging'. and practice more on handling the steering wheel. i am having a hard time on that. i suspect, maybe, just maybe, because i am accustomed on viewing the road from inside a vanette. i am driving now a vios. e diba me nguso yun? valid ba?

some comments from my instructors:

teacher: gigil na gigil ka sa manibela.

teacher: para ka namang nagkakambyo ng truck kung mahila mo yang kambyo.

teacher: pag di pa rin bumabagal ang sasakyan kahit inapakan mo na ang brake, ibig sabihin kulang ang apak mo, apakan mo pa.

teacher: magmenor ka naman pag me humps.

teacher: tandaan mo ang clutch.

teacher: wag mong pasingitin yan.
moi: okay, di ko yan papasingitin (sabay sumingit na nga yun isang car)
teacher: akala ko di mo papasingitin.
moi: hehe sumingit pa rin eh.

while trying to change lane
teacher: tignan mo ang side mirror mo kung sasakyan diyan sa kaliwa. meron ba?
moi: wala. and then turned the steering wheel to the left.
teacher: (sabay kabig pakanan) muntik mo ng mabangga yung motor.
moi: wala siya kanina dun eh.

everytime there's some driver/car messing my road:
moi: kuyaaaaaa
teacher: imbes na makuya ka diyan, apakan mo ang break, or mag menor ka or dumiskarte ka. chaka mas matanda ka pa sa akin, kuya ka ng kuya diyan.
moi: what i mean is, kuya ka pagdating sa experience sa pagdadrive.

don't get me wrong, those two instructors i got are all good and courteous. those statements were delivered in a nice manner, sometimes with 'madam' or 'ma'am'.
