The Best Thing I've Heard All Week
Saturday, September 24, 2005
I received one of the greatest compliments in my life tonight while dropping off Seph, our Creative Designer, and her husband Ramon, who sidelines as our part time IT personnel, in Edsa.
Ramon said that the only FEMALE driver he feels safest riding with is me... and he has ridden in lots of cars driven by female drivers. The comment puzzled me because A thinks my driving sucks and I drive like a maniac. When I asked why he said that, he replied, "Kasi ang daming babaeng takot mag maneho." Seph interjects, "Malakas kasi ang loob mo," and Ramon continues, "May diskarte ka kasi."
As women, we always hear men complain, "Babae kasi ang nag-da-drive eh!" as if all women are baaad drivers. (Okay, I admit. Even I say this too as if I wasn't part of the female gender). But coming from a man (although he can't drive because he's handicapped), it mattered. I guess I owe the compliment to the fact that I just want to get to my destination sooner and faster!
That, or they just enjoy riding with me and hearing me curse crispily in Tagalog when cars are so slow and drivers don't know how to cut in.

i think one of the things which sealed the deal for my boyfriend was when he saw me parallel park my crosswind in one try in a "sakto lang" spot.
of course, now i pretend that i'm the best thing behind a steering wheel but i secretly haven't told him na malamang tsamba lang yon. hehehehe :p
