It is official, I have a new career.  I am a MAPSA target.

I'm not one to break the law but my fucking ignorance is no excuse.

Situation 1:  The first time I had an experience with MAPSA was when my car was about to be towed.  Thank goodness I just had gone to have my hair relaxed and came out feeling refreshed.

Suhol Tactic 1: Panic and pay.  Good thing the mapsa guy didn't charge me extra for not carrying a license from a previous offense (speeding on the skyway, but speeding at 113kph?).

Situation 2:  After a year, make that 2 years, I go back to Makati feeling confident with my new license (that i struggled to get in the lto on my birthday!!) and I was confident because I KNEW the car that I was bringing that day did not have any offense.  Well I thought I didn't have an offense, I just found out that my mom's new registration sticker was not stuck. 

Suhol Tactic 2: Let the MAPSA guy talk to the owner of the car, my mother.  To make a long story short, so many people literally talked me out of this situation namely, my mom, my lolo and almost my dad.  I got off with a warning.

Sitaution 3:  Three weeks after I got caught, I found myself in the Makati area for dessert with all my cousins.  Us getting all together at one time rarely happens due to my work schedule, was a good enough reason to celebrate.  On the way home as I find myself chatting with my cousin's girlfriend after having a very nice night,  I feel that I've made a wrong turn to the left (as I didn't see the sign and follow my gut that I sorta knew that there really is no left turn at that intersection).  I was not surprised to see one short, rotund guy stop me with his right hand.  I felt like I was in a cartoon.

Suhol Tactic 3:  Suhol Tactic 1 minus the panic.  I had 2k go down into the hands of some MAPSA guy.  Again, I have been a law abider of the Traffic Rules of Makati.

My whole family will probably warn me and keep on warning me about obeying traffic rules.  For starters, it's not like I violated them on purpose, I think I should improve my radar for directions and rules in MAKATI.  At this point, I kinda feel sucky for losing so much cash for that many traffic violations.  Sometimes I just want to surrender my license and not get it back anymore but my dad had much to say about it when I DID lose it to speeding the last time.  *sigh*

4 hours at the LTO to get my licensed renewed!!! Just wanted to share.

A new puppy. His name is Churro.  He's a greedy chocolate-colored Labrador Retriever.  He likes to play and runs after you when you leave.

Braces.  They make my teeth hurt and my tummy grumble with hunger.

No money and a desperation to buy books.  Not quite a good combination.

Curly roots and straight ends.  What a nightmare!

An assistant I'm ending up assisting.  I think I want to cry now.

To stop this before I end up with worse possibilities.

two weeks have flown by so fast. so many hours, so many days without contact with astro my laptop.  drama no? ;)

all i can say is that emotions coupled with neverending work concerns don't really match up for a stress-free lifestyle. teehee.

my next week better be spent with friends and laughter. i need endorphins.

when you dream of work, you are either loving it or deeply distressed by it, i think mine is the latter.  i'm also not too sure if this is brought about by me not going out or hanging out with a bunch of friends this whole week.  normally, the alone time i get is refreshing, i am surprised that i didn't enjoy it.  nobody replied to my message to go out due to the rain  *pleh*, considering that they were family pa naman. *double pleh* my breakfast date with the girls (and a supposed ridealong) didn't push through, everyone texted in sick (and I happen to like breakfast!!).  by 3 am my tummy was turning and i realized that i am broke.  tsktsktsk *triple pleh*

it's still a glum day, i don't think it'll pick up tomorrow considering that i have a lot of work to do since my assistant's been gone for a while now.  *pleh* don't want to have a bad week, i'm looking forward to the planned get together for theya on wednesday.  i just remembered i'm coding and if i'm not bringing my car, i don't have nice sounds and i have a rear i'm not used to.

i just passed my time looking at some sites.  wala lang ang babaw ko pa.
