If you're following me on Twitter, you probably have an idea what this is all about. No, it's not about people, as you might probably suspect. It's the VERY unfortunate incident that happened to me this morning.
I was on my way to work, about to turn left at an intersection to Kalayaan Avenue, the motorcycle in front of me suddenly stopped to avoid a speeding SUV, which was coming from the right to turn left. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to hit the brakes on time. As a result, yes you guessed it, I hit the motorcycle. Now, there are ugly scratches on the front of the car and damaged grilles on the bumper. Ack!
You might be speculating that this is one of those texting-while-driving incidents. It's not. I swear, I wasn't even holding my phone.
Lesson learned. Always keep distance.












Glad you're okay :) Ang tamang distance daw, dapat lagi mong kita yung gulong ng nasa harap mo. Haha. Pero yun ay para sa ordinaryong sasakyan. Ewan ko lang kung ano para sa motor. Basta pag motor iniiwasan ko na lang hehehehe

Hi Quing. I haven't mentioned it pa ata, pero I drive nadin from time to time. Asenso na, tumatanda na eh. Hehe..And I remember when I was still learning how to drive, yun talaga yung lageng pinapaalala sakin nung instructor ko: KEEP DISTANCE, especially from two things: buses and motors, kasi usually , in his words, "barumbado" mga drivers nun.
Anyway, glad to know nothing serious happened to you. Mas magiging malaking damage yon pag nagkataon! :)

Wow! Asenso ka na nga! Hehehehe!
Well, I have to learn things the hard way. Grrr! But I'm thankful nobody got hurt. Hehehehe!
May this serve as a lesson to all motorists...
