take 2!

meet my new friend. it looks a little different, but it's still blue. yes, i have a thing for pretty blue things =)

somehow i feel like the blue shade of the previous one had more personality and had a more carefree vibe, but i guess it's just apt that the shade of the new one, although just as pretty, is not as "happy".

the steering and handling of the first one was more responsive, whereas this one is smoother... the interior of this car is nicer too. although, shempre, safety is now higher on my list.

ayan, new car, i'm a little more jaded, but i'll take good care of you. i hope you take good care of me too... i hope this will last me a little longer than the other one... *crosses fingers*

my first car

i remember being so happy the day it was officially mine. i thought we would still have each other for a few more years, but i guess it was not meant to be.

we were together almost every day and i remember looking forward to seeing it after a long day at work. i also remember perking up whenever i spot it for the first time after going on a vacation for a few days or weeks.

marami rin kaming pinagdaanan, and for those two and a half years, my car was worth every penny. i know that i owe it a lot on that fateful day, so i will always be grateful for that.

i saw it for the last time earlier today. i wanted to take a picture, but i didn't want to remember it that way. i came to get the last of my belongings and looked back for the very last time before silently saying goodbye.

it's time to move on because things aren't the same anymore since that day. hopefully, the next one will make me as happy and will mean just as much as my first.

i didn't know i could get so attached to an inanimate object. thanks for the memories... you are sorely missed and will always be remembered.
