A Mother’s Word

After yesterday I think I drive better when I’m drunk, than when I’m running late. haha. Oh man! Now I can afford to laugh, but yesterday? Sheesh!
I was cruising through Katipunan Ave. yesterday- late for work (and yes, I have work on a Saturday), nearing a U-turn slot I opted to switch lanes to my right; so I glanced to my right side mirror, (thinking the lane was clear ahead since it was a highway – not to mention I was in the third lane from the U-turn slot) stepped on the gas a li’l bit and when my eyes turned to where it should’ve been the whole time (or more often than not) I found myself only ’bout a few meters away from a Suzuki Vitara that was not moving. So what I did was, (think fast) stepped on the break and threw a prayer to mama Mary, but before I could even utter a word – - BOOM!
Ya well, this time I really learned my lesson. I know that’s probably the second time I said that one, but this time it’s for real.
So apart from don’t drive when you’re drunk, I guess people should also think about driving when they’re late. I’m not saying don’t go drive when you’re late, what I’m trying to say is when you’re running late – and just because you’re sober or it’s just top of the morning – BE CAREFUL. Ish happens, and it happened to me yesterday. I admit it’s my fault – obviously, I know!
Mom knows best. Just these past few days prior to what happened she’s been telling me to sleep early especially if I have work the following day so I don’t end up rushing from our home to the office. Guess what? Well you all know what happened already.
It’s not that I don’t listen to my mom, being the mama’s boy that I am, haha. But sometimes you tend to ignore what they’re telling you especially if you think you know better. But of course, diba? Who knows yourself and what you’re capable of better but yourself, diba? WRONG! You stubborn prick! Listen to your mother. Unless you’re pretty much sure of what you’re doing and is confident that you know better, okay then don’t. But then again, it won’t hurt if you listen and at least think about what they’re telling you. Most likely, most if not all, what they’re telling you is better than what you think, or even know. Besides, what kind of a mother would tell their kids to jump off a building – or something like that, ya? There’s just ♫ nobody, nobody but you! ♫ haha ok that last part is a joke!
So kids, let us not ignore a mother’s word – our parents on that note. If you give it a deeper glance, what have they told you that wasn’t for your own good anyway? Think about it.
