Driving 101 AGAIN?!?!

After 1 year of driving in the Philippines, eto na naman...need to practice and learn how to drive! But this time it's right hand driving! Nakakaloka! It's like learning how to drive all over again! Well, actually there are only a few things that I need to get used to like...

1. monitoring my speed....MAX speed is 50kph except for motorways which is 100kph. grabe! not used to it! sa Pinas di ako nagmomonitor ng speed eh hehehe.

2. always look at your right....when reaching the round abouts, vehicles from your right is always the priority. meaning you have to give way...eh pano pag yung nasa kanan mo eh biglang tumigil kasi yung nasa kanan nya eh papadaanin niya muna eh di ibig sabihin pede ka umandar since malayo pa yung car sa yo....pag di ka umandar at tumigil ka rin tulad ng nasa kanan mo, bubusinahan ka ng nasa likod mo! syet! 2x nangyari sa kin yan today! hahahaha

3. you are about to turn right...so dapat tignan mo yung nasa right mo kung clear then tignan mo yung left kung clear din bago ka mag turn right...eh pano kung lumagpas ka ng konti sa lane kasi kala mo malayo pa yung nasa kanan mo tapos too late for you to realize na malapit na pala siya kaya tumigil ka...alam mo what will happen? babanggain ka ng mga sasakyan basta alam nila nasa tamang lane sila! guess what? it happend to me! buti na lang hindi ako binangga! hahaha

whew! this is my first time to drive in busy roads here in NZ...nakakatense sobra! hahaha....nevertheless, i will get the hang of it! konting practice pa! wag lang sana ako mahuli ng overspeeding hehehe.

Sunday @ the park

After a very busy week, we went out on a sunny Sunday morning.

Destination: Onepoto Domain







It's a big park with lake at the middle and a forest with trail. There are lots of ducks and birds in the area which can be fed. So we brought lots of bread for them. We also brought food for us. However, it's not comfortable to eat because of the strong wind.

We also tried to walk through the forest trail. Grabe maputik yung last stretch ng trail! I'm wearing white rubbershoes pa =( .... Ang dungis ko! huhuhu

Next Destination: Westfield mall, Glenfield

I want to go home first before going to the mall but the rest of my family didn't agree. Hay...how am i going to roam around the mall if my shoe (my right shoe actually) is full of mud? My niece has a bright idea....why won't we remove our shoes and roam around the mall the Kiwi way? Hmm...since Kiwi are used to walking in the mall with their bare foot then I agreed on her idea. Haha...i'm really not used to it and the floor is too cold...so the first thing we did in the mall is to look for slippers. hahaha...didn't imagine that I will actually do that...walking in the mall with my bare foot! funny as it seems, but I never felt awkward because people around didn't bother at all.
