OK, here's the fun part, when I went to Cavite to pick them up... O offered, "Do you want me to drive?" Yes, dear friends O is now a licensed Pilipino non-pro driver and mind you, her license is expensive! tsktsk. O's already driving in the Cavite area but she haven't driven in Manila. She was pretty excited but at the same time I know, a lil' scared knowing how it is in the metro. So, I parked my car in front of their house, we used their newly purchased car and she drove from Cavite to Taguig City on a rainy friday night!
You see boys and girls, Manila traffic operates on a significantly different paradigm. Most Pinoy drivers break almost every driving rule in the book like sudden left turns from the far right lane; straddle lanes; cut into freeway traffic; stop wherever they feel like; jump red lights; drive with headlights off at night; and use their horns incessantly.
That night, O practiced her lane changing skills, in Manila... lane changing requires a lot of precision and creativity, it should be done in a matter of seconds and without using the turn signal or otherwise you'll stimulate a widespread panic!

Btw, O swerved 6x along EDSA. buahaha!
