Seryoso muna
A week ago, on a dark and lonely stretch of highway between @@@@ and ##### Laguna, one of my tires had a blowout.
Now this part of Laguna isnt exactly known for it's law abiding citizens
Kaya I hurriedly tried to change tires
Unfortunately, nagtitipid nga pala ang friggin mitsubishi motors sa tools.
The 8 inch tire wrench that came with the car couldnt untighten the wheel.
As if the excitement wasnt enough, may dumating na owner type jeep at pumarada malayo layo sa likod ko. Headlights nya naka turo sakin.
Great! Magiging laman ako ng Abante bukas!
After a few minutes of observing me , lumabas yung sakay, isang matangkad and 1 short guy who was holding a de dos na pipe!
Bad trip, mahoholdap/carnap lang low tech pa
Paglapit, the short guy with the pipe smiled and said,"Bosing, kelangan mo ng tulong?"
He proceeded to use the pipe to give better leverage dun sa tire wrench.
I stepped back and let them both do the work I wanted some distance plus I wanted to watch their hands, baka biglang may icepick naka ipit
They got the tires changed in no time
They hurriedly went back to their own jeep kasi nagmamadali pa daw sila may lakad pa. Oops!
I tried paying them, pero ayaw talga tanggapin kahit anong pilit
After that episode, parang nagkatiwala uli ako sa pinoy ( pero nahiya ako sa sarili ko )
They helped out a stranger on a known dangerous , deserted hiway, kahit nagmamdali sila
And they did this without expecting and even refusing a reward
Meron pa pala nyan sa Pilipinas
Naalala ko lang kasi I managed to repay that debt
And I promised myself to try to do good without expecting any thing in return, just like those strangers
O sige , balik na sa kalokohan
