Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th! Never believed in such superstitions or been affected by that date. Not until last Friday the 13th of April 2007. I had an accident, not really a big one. Good thing it’s just a small one. I got hit by a Pajero. Mia and I went for a Friday mass at St. Mary’s when the accident happened. We were slowing down and looking for a parking. It was two-way traffic and I saw a vacant space on my left side. Without looking on my back I just turned my wheel on the left side and then this rushing pajero hit me. I was so shocked and I couldn’t think at that time. And then now… realizing that they had my mind believe it was my fault. Damn them. They are all Indians they are rushing off because they have a Christian service at that time and all their sound instruments are with them and they need it to be delivered. It was their fault: (1) they were rushing off (2) they are overtaking me on a two-way traffic (3) I think on that area where the accident happened it is not allowed to overtake (I’ll check on Friday if the traffic lines there don’t allow overtaking. Hehehehe. So I won’t feel guilty). Drivers here in UAE really drive me nuts. Can’t imagine how they can pass the driving exams with that kind of attitude, and being reckless in streets. Plus the fact, that those I encounter are Indians. No need to say anything about them, for sure most of the Filipino here in UAE knows what I’m talking about. Anyway, my lesson learned is that don’t be shocked when you’ll have an accident and be firm that you’re not wrong. But be sure you’re right. Hehehehe. And as much as possible keep away from those asshole drivers and there’s a lot here… Friday the 13th… for me it’s not cursed it’s just that I’m still lucky on that day coz’ nobody get hurt and I’m blessed coz……. :D
