From the Police Report made by the courteous people of MMDA(Guadalupe):

The right side front section of Veh-1 was struck by the left side mid section of Veh-2 after the latter allegedly veered towards the lane traversed by the fomer. Both sustained damages, as a result.

Great, as if naman “damages” ang matatawag sa “scraped body sticker”, as compared to my “broken garnish chrome, fender/bumper scratches, and damaged right headlamp”

Sana man lang benz or lamo yun.. none-bulok vehicle.. but Nooo, Viktor had to have his first time(and hopefully LAST) with a friggin’ jeepney. I feel like singing close-up’s new jingle that’s getting too much airplay nowadays… all together now! the closer I get to touching you…

To all the feeling righteous there, I’m not being matapobre  (oh why did i get hit by  a jeepney), my irritation stems from the fact that MOST jeepneys plying Edsa don’t have insurances… so all the expenses for the car repair goes to ME (and my insurance of course)…

What made this accident dreadful was…

• The fact I had stopped when I felt what he was planning to do – unfortunately, the driver was either blind (as he did not see me on his sidemirror… duh, ang laki ng sidemirror mo tsong), deaf (since I had furiously honked at him to stop what he was about to do, but he did it anyway), and over all not a good driver (make a U-Turn dammit, but know how to calculate distances!). It was similar to watching a car crash in slow motion – except it was MY VIKTOR getting swiped by the jeep. They say it takes 2 to tango, but in this case, I maintain my innocence. If I had NOT stopped, then I guess it’s partly my fault, but I stopped, I had honked a hundred times, but he ignored every warning/signal. Haay.

• The driver of the jeepney, named Jacobo, had already confessed in his statement  “nasagi ko…” then when I talked to the operator of the jeep (the one who owns the jeep), the driver said the reverse(but naturally…) He said, Viktor (my car if you still don’t get it) had hit the jeepney and not the other way around. Wow men, time space warp, ngayon din!  I had called the operator to tell him of the incident and how we were just waiting for the police report and the estimate of damages (I’m not really sure if they’ll pay up…if they don’t my karma orbs will get them…)

I had so many plans that day – Photography seminar c/o of cheftonio, shopping at greenhills, massage, and night out with my dear friends, but had to drop everything because I was too tired, stressed, traumatized, and yeah, I  kinda looked like shit from crying.

On the bright side, I learned what to do during car accidents (not get hysterical hahaha),  how to write a decent “salaysay”, and how to assert yourself when the situation calls for it. Also, learned there was an MMDA office near Guadalupe, they didn’t have aircon in that office (ugh), and they’re a good bunch.

P25k worth of Learning Experience. This is some shit they don’t teach in school.
