My parents sold the car I used to drive back in Manila a couple of weeks ago. It was about time, because even if it was well loved (that car saved me from having to commute to work and to my gimmicks), it was also almost ready to give up (some of its internal and other auto parts were no longer working efficiently).

Now we have an upgraded model, which I’m very excited to drive when JR and I fly back home for Christmas. =)

I’ve been driving around Manila since we flew back for our short trip and I just have to say that I missed it! Sure, I enjoy the hassle-free commuting in Singapore (I’ve actually been enjoying riding both the MRT and the bus!), but I’ve missed being behind the wheel. The sitting in the car for hours, the squeezing through traffic, and most importantly, I missed my car (well technically my parents own it, but I used it most of the time)!

It’s a generally old Honda City, which had a minor face lift just recently. No more ugly scratches and small dents from my sometimes careless driving (and that of the jeepney driver who caused the nasty dent on the bumper!). The face lift was courtesy of my mother (maybe we should try getting a car insurance quote for that car), because they will actually be selling it sometime soon to exchange it for a newer one.

That car will definitely be missed!
