full-step clutch, clutch slowly shifting to working-level, gas, full-step clutch, shift gear to number two, let go of clutch, gas...He was looking at my steps like a dance instructor. With precise prediction of how I'm going to panic with every pedestrian, dog, tricycle & taxi driver crossing, changing lanes & overtaking-we would've been dead by now if it weren't for his handy emergency brake.
Driving has taught me of things that I didn't know I was capable of. Two of them was talking to dogs and my fast pick-up learning the shift-stick. I guess it just came to me at a subliminal level that shift-sticking is indeed my calling besides taking pictures and sucking dick. Yes, I know you wanted to hear that line from me you dirty bastard.
But along those lines of yellow & white, my mind still manages to be a floater despite the humps & my instructor yelling break every time something out of the blue pops out in-front of me. "Sir, nagdridrive ka. Nakikinig ka ba sa mga sinasabi ko o nakatingin ka lang sa kawalan?"
To tell him the truth, I was really feeling elated when I had these hands 10:10 on that steering wheel. It were as if I was at peace with the car, like, you know, we're meant to be and all? Okay, maybe not, but the whole experience was awesome! The engine roars, the full stops, the high-fives, and the...shift-stick..that feeling of getting that big-ass-car roll that street like you own the whole alley was just too priceless that I had to control my bladder for the whole three hours learning the basics! Dawg, talk about dedication.
along busy streets and small villages, curving along tight spots and beneath highways, I've also learned why a lot of people hate jeepney drivers, taxi drivers, pedicabs, and random pedestrians for all the obvious reasons and why everyone in this country should start enrolling themselves to driving school or at least learn how to drive.
do you have any idea how hard it is to just go for a full stop without any warning?
but in the end of the day, aside from all the kicking, steering and swearing. Driving has helped me become a better person, especially on the street. Yes, bitches, megaknown.
