I think this is a wonderful advanced birthday gift...
My car is now in the casa for it's tune-up and interior cleaning...FINALLY...FINALLY...FINALLY...
Grabe! I've been trying to "fight my way" into getting an appointment for my car's regular tune-up. The one in Shaw Boulevard doesn't want to accept my car insisting that they do not accept cars that had been affected by the flood despite the fact that I have been telling her over and over na "HINDI NABAHA ANG KOTSE KO!!!! MAGPAPA-TUNE-UP LANG AKO!!!"
Had to go to the Admin to have my "right to have my car tuned-up" exercised. So finally, today is the day...Brought it to the Pasig branch instead...
Hopefully, I get to see my car when I come back next week.
Mababaw may it seem but I really realized that I love my car after Ondoy.
You see I had to leave my car unattended at the nearby Fastfood chain because there was no way it can swim back to our compound because of the flood.
Took this photo of the parking lot from my car on that fateful Saturday morning...the gutter later on got submerged.
The flood water went as high as 80cm the day before.
The photos below were taken at 5AM the following morning...flood water was still at 60cm!
There was no way my car can "swim" in this high water...neither can any other vehicle!
It was only the following day did I get to see her again...But we had to wait until around noon...when the water has somehow subsided.
She immediately got a well-deserved bath!
She was safe. The interiors got wet a little because the rain would come in whenever I opened the window that fateful Saturday morning. But she kept me safe...she provided me refuge...and I am just glad she's safe.
One more year and she'll be rightfully called mine....my longest ever....
