driving 101 - day 3

it's our third day of driving lessons. we enrolled in a five-day, one hour per day course. : ) so far, i learned the basics like the right seating position, uses of the pedals, shifting of gears, when to use horns, how to control, start and stop the vehicle. not bad. what do you think?

we are driving a manual Toyota Vios car. so there are three pedals. the clutch pedal, is used to stop the vehicle and shift the gear. the brake pedal is used to stop the vehicle and to slow down. and (my favorite) the gas/accelerator is used to speed up.


we have one hour each so we take turns and we use one car for the both of us so we can be together. here's Alda while waiting for the traffic light to turn green. : )


and here i am, entertaining myself while taking (my) pictures to avoid falling asleep.


i think our instructor noticed me taking pictures, so he asked me to read this - The Filipino Driver's Manual. to read while the car was running? no no. so i just browsed through the pages. and to my delight, it has colored illustrations in it. haha!

day 4 tomorrow. : )

D and i had lunch together after our driving lessons while Alda had lunch with Renz too. : ) because i didn't take breakfast before leaving the house, i finished up a Fully Loaded meal from KFC. yum!! D ordered the same too. then we went to their home and i met her two Aunties who came from Australia. they will be attending Daniel's grandfather's birthday celebration this coming Monday. we talked and talked and they were so nice to me. : )

Happy April Fools' Day! : )

this morning, i got up early to have my urine checked by the lab. it's been a week since i had UTI.. when i got the results, im glad that it's normal already. : ) i visited my OB again and all is well. thanks for the prayers! : ) i also got my eyeglasses too. i had my lens changed last week because the doc said i have astigmatism already.

anyway.. after my checkup, i met up Alda and we started our driving lessons today. : ) we have one hour each, but the both of us is in the same car so we get to listen to the instructor whenever he lectures us about the how-tos. i came home right on time for dinner.

twas a long day, but im happy. it's just the start. have a great week ahead!! : )
