The Flying Man
I’m beginning to think that I’m a cursed driver. Not too long ago I got into an accident. I was on my way to meet my “stoned” bovine friends and right before the Bicutan exit, I accidentally hit another car. Well, that’s what he gets for making a sudden stop. It’s not my fault he almost missed the Bicutan exit. J That was in January.
Enter February. I am minding my own business, happily driving along my normal route to the office, excited to be on my way to yet another Café DDI when I met the flying man. I was driving along Zapote road and I was about to turn left towards
Alabang Town Center . Approaching me from the opposite direction was a man on a motorcycle. Everything happened very fast (as they say in cases like these. In Filipino: “ang bilis ng mga pangyayari!” hehehe) and before I knew it, a man was flying in front of my car. He landed on the street and continued to roll towards the pavement. Before I could recover from my shock, I was jolted back to reality when I heard is skidding motorcycle hit the front of my car. The first words out of my mouth were, “Anong ginagawa mo!?” Yes, that’s what I shouted at the man. It might not have been the most appropriate thing to say but that’s what I was honestly thinking. I mean really, who goes around flying in front of cars?
Sure I can look back and laugh about it now but I was definitely not laughing when it all happened. The flying man gets into an accident on his own and just because I was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, his motorcycle hits my car and he tries to put the blame on me to get me to pay for his medical bills.
It’s the last day of February, so tomorrow is a new month. I hope that these series of unfortunate accidents are not the beginning of what could be a monthly occurrence because at this point, I’m rapidly filling-up a filing cabinet of police reports.

“Anong ginagawa mo!?”
Hahahaha!!! Well, atleast you did not say to him, “bilisan niyong magbasa!” like Diane.
But oh my goodness, Maits!!! I do hope you’re ok. I can’t believe that moron is even blaming you (Well, actually I can. We are, after all, in dA piLiPiNs.). Don’t worry, I will get you a rabbit’s foot, a four-leaf clover and a horseshoe to put in your car next time.
