what a day! (last friday!)

guess what! last friday, i got caught by the police...TWICE! the first one wasn't my fault. i got stuck in the middle of the road because of some sudden congestion upfront. the light turned red, and the policeman thought i beat the red light. used my charm (actually, i didn't, cuz i was almost shouting, as if scolding a young kid), and he let me go.

the second incident, i admit was entirely my fault! my very great friend (thank you very much!) gino called me up to nag me (haha), and the stupid me answered the fone...in MAKATI! wrong move, sistah. it was around 6:30 then, so the light on my celfone was clearly seen by the policeman. i was probably 20 meters away, and he was running after me. unfortunately, i was un-saved by the traffic. well, here's our exchange of words:

police: may violation ho kayo.
me: alam ko, kasalanan ko, i'm sorry.
police: lisensya na lang. (i hand him the license) kunin niyo na lang sa makati city hall.
me: ah o sige. (he leaves, calls someone on the radio. then goes back)
police: ano ba to, aareglohan (?) niyo na lang ba?
me: hindi, bigyan mo na lang ako ng ticket.
police: taga-saan po ba kayo? paranaque pa diba?
me: oo sa paranaque.
police: naku, laking abala po niyan, sa makati city hall niyo pa kukunin.
me: hinde, ok lang.

so now my license is in the makati city hall, and i have to pay a fee of 250.

i'm proud of myself for not initiating a bribe. i mean i would have, if i wanted to get away with it. but i didn't. if i did, i shouldn't complain that our politicians are corrupt. and besides, it was my fault, and i take the responsibility. i'd rather go through the hassle of getting my license at the makati city hall, that letting those suckers enjoy my money. that policeman must have really been frustrated! imagine, he ran after me, and he didn't get anything in the end.

funny, when i told my dad what happened to me that day, he goes, "baket mo binigay lisensya mo? dapat binigyan mo na lang ng 200!" tsk tsk tsk. DADDYYYY!!!
