Driving a moto 2 d Bitch nd catching Bangus

sunday. with my papang (fafa father), we drove for about 45 mins, 30 km away from the city to Bolong town on a motorcycle---a honda alpha look alike scooter. This is where my father grew up and almost everybody here are related to each other, like lahat na laang ng makasalubong namin tito o tita ko,,, mano po! buti sana kung bibigay pera... hehe. it's like d family's vacation getaway, away from urban living d pollution nd noise nd work nd school nd d net (d only sad thing)...here I used to spend my childhood weekends. Swimming at the beach with my brothers and cousins. it's my favorite beach in short, it's one of those places dat has a solid part in ur file memory - its like one of the bullet entries in your waking life journal (if u see life in bullet form) dat will 4ever b a part of u..(nakatatak na sa puso mo charots!hehe) gaya ko who hasn't been here for almost 2 years yet ders d notion of "i belong here" sense and to d extent of feeling "dis place is ours", nd "i know everyone" (which is not true of course)... but it bothers me dat i don't know why they named it Bolong beach :) s it bcoz d beach is in brgy Bolong? probably but why if? nyak nyak... hehe. the entire beach line stretches to about 1 km of shore, all sand, fine sand no rocks (so u can walk wd ur barefeet easily, without d struggle against huge rocks that most of d time leave u a cut on d feet b4 u can even wet your hair-- common in philippine beaches, i love that, philipine beaches...native!) the water is clear especially n d early mornings nd at times u can see school of fishes (or schools of fish?) roaming jst below ur feet... der r cottages and of course u can buy all types of sea foods! my favorite is crabs--kasag! puede mag ihaw coz der r available grills n d cottages... and everything is very cheap--- super cheap--- like a kilo of bangus will cost u half if u buy them in d city, lalo na pag sariwa yung kadarating lng galing sa mga fishboats... (kita ko pa nga si cecar eh nyak)
d beach is beautiful- except for some green sea plants which have been becoming more abundant these days, ts somekind of an enlarged algae or something that floats around sneeking around like it's about to jump up to your face and suck your eyeballs (penalty for watching too much tv) though it is a good weapon against your little rascal cousins who seems to hav finally found d perfect ideal playgound, running around crazy- children of the beach- they seem to temporarily loose d ability to keep still. also a tool to pull up a prank, to scare the hell out of sum1, just place it above sum1'ns head and act shouting hysterical like there's actually a Killer Whale sitting on top of his head(preferably Willie), crawling over her or him then u start whacking him or her or hirm with a plywood if you like as if trying to save his life hehe... or puede ring pang ligaw, sabihin mo "loves, algae 4 u o... u like it? i got it while i was looking at d yellow submarine floating around--u see its really special u know" tapos sisid ng malalim na malalim para di ka maabutan ng sapak... :) you know the deal or just throw it at sum1's face, tie it on a rock and throw! hwaapak! and then jst say... Yari ka! then run. great place. may not be the most expensive resort around but hell I'd bet it has the potential to be better dan Dakak if only people start investing on it...

But wat i want to write about is my driving hehe... u see it seems odd dat i jst learned how to drive a motorcycle jst a few weeks ago (better late dan never ryt) at my age i should be driving pisons or f-16's--- har har finally i've learned how adrenaline can be addicting, but 4 me the "Need for Speed" hunger s jst starting to get in to my system so i see to it i never loose my defensive driving instincts (kasi matanda na kaya matatakutin) id be contended letting my Nissan Skyline in NFSU do d racing for now... but driving for 30 kms at an average speed of 60 kph (d fastest i'v gone is 75 kph, proud ba naman) in a provincial highway wer u rub elbows with 10 wheeler trucks and Pagadian CDO buses, i think its no joke for a noob driver who doesnt even hav a STUDEN LICENSE like me... well or talagang nerbyoso lang tlga ako. I think if i've learned how 2 drive 4 yrs ago, animoso pa, bata pa--- i thik i cud have done better, better meaning FASTER! :) i think if i went alone,instead of 45 mins it would have probably taken me more than an hour b4 i reach Bolong-- i'd be gliding slowly along d side of d road like i have my own mini express way, overly aware of everything, conscious even wd my facial expressinon whenever a maniac V-hire overtakes me in my little delicate scooter. (yung mukhang gulat! yung parang pag nakita mo ang grade mo na 5! gulat na gulat ka... lalo na pag nakita mo na flat 1! yun nakakagulat... well di ko pa na experience e) ...or whenever a crippled doggie is hesitating to cross d road , looking down d pavement instead of looking right and left (dogs dont go to school) walking like dey have a death wish or sumthing... or even jst a chicken...going to d question why did d chicken cross d road? hehe no really wenever dis happens, my hand jst jerks, slamming on d brakes whenever sumthing , anything threatens to block my way or threatens to kill me in short... even wen it's still half a mile away... sumtimes i feel m more afraid of speed dan with heights... tsk tsk or m i jst getting old... but ders no disapointment coz i believe ts always happier to have complete limbs nd complete body parts--- dan to loose them in a stupid accident... (palusot) so on to defensive driving!
