ROADTRIP, BADTRIP

One of the TV show says that: "Wag maging dayuhan sa sariling bayan." I couldn't agree more. I believe that everyone should know his/her own place well.

Imagine the feeling that you get to see those pictures of places in some social networks, and you know for sure that these places are only one reach away from your place. However, because you have no car, you cannot even see a glimpse of these beautiful places. I hate it every time it gets on my mind that there is no way that I can see these places without having a car of my own. It's one price to pay when you belong to the lower class family. You won't get the chance to have everything. Even if you beg hard enough for it, you wouldn't still have it. It sucks a lot. It's a scenario worth cussing.


I had this small conversation with my father. He's very knowledgeable of places within our town. He used to be a teacher so usually, when his work calls for some reassignment, he goes to schools within the town. He used to teach in schools which are too far away from our home. He was assigned in some particular schools and got to stay there for even more than 15 years. It was in the early 80's that he was assigned in our own elementary school. When we were talking, I can feel that he too longs for some road trip to visit places. I don't know why but he's kinda enthusiastic talking about places. He's so keen on map details. He talks as if he has been in these places.


I got a hint on the way he talks that he also would like to take a road trip in places where he used to go to when he was in his teenage years. Sadly enough, how can we go to places like that if we don't have a decent car of our own? Most people would surely agree that not having a car of your own stops you from seeing wonderful places. You will not get to experience the enjoyment of smelling fresh air via your car's window. You'll not be able also to be comfortable in your seat if it's too cramped up or if the seats aren't comfortable enough. Who would be so comfortable in a cramped up car? Lastly, you will never get to see amazing places that you haven't encountered all your life!


I just really wish to have a car as soon as possible. I'd love to take my family for a ride.



If there are people who I would take with me on a trip, that's gonna be my parents and my sister. I just hope that we share the same thinking. As of this moment, we have different views but I really wish that they'll finally agree with me sooner than expected. I don't mean any crappy things. I just want to have a happy family trip with them. Too bad they're too hard on this.
