The Best Road Trip

Wednesday is supposed to be church day for me and Jeff but since we've had difficulty going to Baclaran these past weeks it had been an on and off thing. So, after thoroughly thinking about our current situation with our finances we've decided to finally make Baclaran part of our weekly routine, again. Apparently, my salary got delayed for two days (thanks to my client) so we had to wait till it is reflected on my bank account. Luckily it did this morning.

Though with 2 hour sleep, Jeff readily dressed and had MJ ready for the road. This will be an experiment as we're not familiar with the short cut to Baclaran and we only saw the map with the help of wikimapia, which was really a big help for us.

After we passed by Kuya Eddie, the previous owner of MJ, where we paid the complete payment for MJ, we loaded her with P400 worth of unleaded gasoline.

Then the road trip began, it was fun and exciting, I just had the glimpse of the road through wiki and yet we managed not to get lost. We reached MOA just in time for lunch. For a change, we went to MannHann for a hefty meal, though I know it's just not right because of our current financial crisis, but hey, we already own MJ and this is a good enough reason to celebrate.

We went to Baclaran to pray to high heavens and I know God listened and he will provide for us. After an hour we're back on the road to Marilao, it was indeed tiring but it was worth it, it was even worth MJ's wait.

The best road trip so far.

Welcome Home MJ

MJ who? That's our new baby, our very own ride. I know I know she's just a second hand owner type jeep, but still, she's our very own first ride. She's one of the dearest possession we have right now and we promise to take care of her, very well.

We got her through Jeff's cousin who knew someone selling it. Since they're pretty much friends, the owner decided to give the jeep to us, though it's just 1/3 of the way of being paid. We bought her battery and gas and we're just trying to fix the documents, come Monday, it'll be registered to Jeff's name.

We already tried it yesterday, he drove me to the clubhouse to pay our water bill and the monthly home owner's dues. Though I know Jeff is still nervous about driving, heck, this is his time to shine and practice really well in driving, who knows we might be able to go to Baclaran come August or September.

Anyway, here are some of his pictures with MJ, by the way, we named her MJ to remember the Michael Jackson's death, same day we got MJ.
