First Time Happened

17 March, 2006

Friday of the past week: It was first time of the year I wore a short pant to get comfortable from the hottest-weather-ever (temp 70s) we have during the winter season. I heard this high temperature breaks the record of the winter season since 20 years ago. Amazing huh?


Monday of this week: It was first time ever I had a car accident in this country. Well, I'm not going to say it was not my fault. The old lady who was going to turn right didn't give me a break when I was on my straight direction. According to the road sign rules, she obviously made a mistake that she didn't pull a break right on the stop sign. Can you tell me now whose fault it is? I pulled over my car a little bit to stay away the lady's car, but I couldn't make it too far because I might have hit the car from opposite direction if I did it for good. I couldn't help from the accident happened when I heard bumping sound from behind. I step down the car and the old lady did the same thing to look at the wreck we've just had unexpectedly. I looked calm on my face not to worry much of bad happened but in fact I was bit nervous inside. The lady was nice and apologized that she didn't pull a break to give me a chance I supposed to go head first. We exchanged address and phone number, so our husbands would take care the trouble later on. Since there is no big damage at my back car's bumper, hubby decided not to give them a contact for repairing cost that the lady said will be taken care by her insurance. I'm sure she got crashed badly in front part of her sedan. How could somebody in sedan expect having no damage while bumping such a truck of mine? No way...

I've never been in car accident way years ago. Back then I remember I had accident last time when somebody in motorcycle who was driving crazy bumped the front body of my car. The rider tried to rip me off by asking some money to fix his broken motorcycle. Realized it's not my fault, I asked him going to police station to report the accident. Cowardly he didn't accept to do that way. My case then was taken over by HRD of my office because it involved the law issue. I was fortunate that the case ended up with no penny I needed to pay because obviously it was not my fault.


Second week of March: It was first time of the year my Spring flowers are blooming. Some tulips, daffodils, pink hyacinth flowers and forsythia look all gorgeous. Don't they?
