car trouble.

The Altis already had some battery problems when I got back from Cebu. I asked them to changed the batteries since around the last week of October.

I knew I will be hitting the fan with the car and I did. Haha.

After Powerplant, my sister and I went to get gas at Shell V.Cruz Extension. I turned off the engine and when I started the car, it won't start.

I instantly knew it was the batteries, and the attendant opened the hood and proceeded to try and make the batteries work. I told him it was weak and I pulled over to the side of the station.

Naturally, my sister called up her beau first. I called him up and told him our current predicament. He said get my sister to ask for a jumper wire to jumpstart the car. Told me to keep calm (which I was, stranded on a flooded unknown street was more crappy), and call my dad.

Sister called my dad and I talked to him about the situation and they were on the way. So is maurick.

Luckily, people up front where trying to jumpstart a car also, and asked if we needed some assistance. He connected the Altis into his white pick-up and I started the car which gave a purr of life.

Manong Mechanic told me to use the park lights first, switch off the air-conditioning and press the gas steadily to charge the batteries.

I gave him my deepest thanks and even offered him some money which he flatly refused. He said it was nothing and told us to drive safe.

Maurick arrived seconds later the car was running. He drove behind us. While I called him to tell we're ok. And we called my dad and uncle who was waiting for us in Quirino.

We convoyed towards home. Maurick at the back Dad and Uncle up front. I felt like driving for the president. Haha.

We got home at 12mn. Just in time for Dad's birthday.
