But my grandma has been really nagging me to "review" on my driver education.
She keeps on telling me that I need to review so that I could take the exam because you won't survive here in the states if you can't drive. (I've been here for 1 month now, I think I'm still alive). Well, as if it was that easy to apply for a driving test. I don't even have Social Security yet. lol
But in any case, to please her and to familiarize myself with driving rules here in the U.S. I started reading the manual.
I know how to drive. I've been driving in the Philippines for years now. Only I still need a driver's education simply because if you've been to Manila, or if you've experienced driving in Manila, I think you will agree that there are NO driving rules in the Philippines. lol. I mean yes there are rules, but it's just paper. I don't think people have seen that paper too. Oh, I'm just being ridiculous.
People here told me "Well, if you can drive in Manila, surely you can drive here".
But yes, I know how to drive... I'm just afraid of the cops here. *hihi*
So anyway I wont discuss what I learned today because it will just be a waste of blah. But I will share what my grandmother gave me. It's supposed to be a sorta-"GPS" ... or something like it. I said that I needed one because I am SUCH A LOSER in directions. When I was in High school, I even got lost when I wanted to go back and visit my Elementary school. And I've studied there for EIGHT years! lol
So anyway, my grandma goes "I have a GPS"
errr..."What is THAT thing?"
uhmmmm granny, I don't think I would dare use this. The probabilities of getting lost will be even twice as higher if I trust this "talking road navigator" to lead the way. F.Y.I the voice is SOOOO IRITATING!! I couldn't find the off button that I had to remove the batteries.
Whoever invented this "thing" must've lost A LOT in his investment. Or maybe not, maybe it won't even cost that much to invest in this "thing" ... lol
hehe. I have a hard time navigating as well. I couldn't imagine not having a license. It's hard to believe at one point that I didn't have one, oddly enough. The cops here well are less to be desired. Good luck with the license ordeal =]
ReplyDeleteAww, your grandma meant well- but that looks like a calculator?

ReplyDeleteLMAO at your grandma's GPS. That's the cutest thing I've ever imagined a grandma doing: "Here, use this fancy new GPS thingy-bob that I use!!" :) Kind of like when my grandparents wanted to give me their old cell phone. From like, 1998. Woah.
I just laughed so hard! That is HILARIOUS.
ReplyDeletegirls girls.. don't get too overwhelmed.
ReplyDeleteYOU HAVEN'T even heard it talk! lol

I've never in my life seen a GPS that looked like that. Interesting....
