I took a day off from work yesterday to take one more step towards total freedom. That is, to apply for a driver's license.
My dad is currently on a business trip so I figured now would be as good a time as any to get a license, with the car being underutilized and all. With the help of A-1's corrupted non-divine intervention, the process was painless. It took the entire afternoon, but I was able to walk/commute away with a spanking new temporary driver's license. Why a temp? Because the LTO somehow managed to botch up my license and get the details wrong, which means I have to return within a few weeks time to get my license card.
My timing for getting a license was perfect; I was able to use it before it was two hours old. As soon as I got home (and after asking permission from my dad), I hopped into the family car and took it out for a spin: Andreé and I had a party to go to in the evening.
I hadn't driven in over a month but my confidence level was nonetheless sky-high. The traffic was horrible, and the engine stalled a couple of times, but I was able to pick up Andreé and arrive at the destination (relatively) unscathed. More firsts: I stopped for gas for the first time ever, and at long last, I was able to drive Andreé home.

Awww hehehehe kinda reminds me of the first time I drove outside driving school :D
Not a pretty experience :( But then the car was automatic...I shudder at the thought of manual :)) Lazy ass driver.
