2:45 in the AM and we just got home. What I thought was a
short day turned out to be one of the longest and most tiring days of my life.
Earlier, I was not able to report to work because I got sick. I was feverish so
I’ve just decided the first of my two WFH days and rest. But office pal Dave
celebrated his birthday earlier and incidentally, it is also Rye’s last day in
the office so we have to celebrate. We were busy bullying each other earlier
but we all definitely enjoyed the night. Fast forward 10:30 PM, I headed back
to Project 4 to pick up my mom, dad and sister for we had a despedida dinner
for Dete who leaves for Dubai this Saturday. It was a long fun night and we’ve
decided to call it a night around 11 PM. When we got out of the Francisco
Compound to say our goodbyes, a random guy with a motorbike almost hit me and
Zoom with his bike. Good thing he had the presence of mind, he stopped at the
right time and maneuvered to a Fortuner’s right side. When I’ve let the
Fortuner pass, I suddenly head a loud banging noise. Next thing I knew, my
brother-in-law’s 4-door Civic EK 1.6 VTi got smacked in its backside. The
impact was so strong, the left-side clips of the bumper got broken and there’s
a rather deep (like primer paint deep) scratch in the car’s rear bumpers. The
a-hole dude tried to run away. Good thing my bro-in-law had him in his arms and
stopped him from leaving. The damage
wasn’t really that big of a deal. What freaking irritates my bro is that the
guy has no plans of accepting his mistake and even tried to run away at the
very last minute. To make matters worst, the guy’s companion (the ones whom he
called thru Ate Lily’s phone) we’re messing up the rather good conversation
between the aggrieved party and they guy’s mom.
The 19-year old (allegedly) guy was too drunk for his own good that he
can’t stand straight for a long while and that he slurs so bad while speaking,
you’d barely understand the words he say. We were almost finished with the
negotiations when the guy’s friends started to challenge my brother in law and
his brother in law for a square off. The most matured way of handling the
situation. As if they were the ones that are aggrieved. The 19-year old guy got
himself into deep shit. First, he only has a Student’s permit which means he
can’t drive a motor vehicle on his own yet without the presence of a licensed
driver. Secondly, he is intoxicated and was driving under the influence of
alcohol. Finally, his motorcycle who’s registration expired last January (it
had a #1 ending plate). In the end, the bike was impounded and the guy would be
facing jailtime. Good thing my brother in law decided to let him go. There were
planned attacks by the same group of guys by Mon, my brother in law’s brother
in law and his wife Lily that the guys almost got them. Good thing, QC’s BPSO
officers caught the guys and made them retreat on their plans on getting back
at the sick Mon.
Funny how the aggressors seem to have their way around the
law. Like they feel they’re above the law. Funny how people use the stupidest
reasons to justify their wrong doings. Man, the nerve. Now we just got home and
it got me thinking how in hell would I be able to report for work on time
later. Well, Im’ma sleep now guys! See you tomorrow!
