I was driving towards G Araneta Avenue (Sta. Mesa area) to attend the wake of a distant relative when I got into this dimly lit side street. Even at speed less than 10 kph, I felt that my sedan still posed a danger to this small children (probably no older than six) playing on the street.
Their houses occcupied the sidewalk which makes the road literally a couple of paces from their door steps. What is scary is the possibility of running over a child since some are barely taller than the hood of my car. I have to leave there fast but I can't speed up. This is no place for sleepy or drank drivers. It's good I took a cup of Tongkat-ali coffee before left home, it kept me alert the whole time.

Motolite Saves the Day
Thought I drop by Robinsons Grocery along the West Service Road to get some ice cream for the wife (pre-valentine surprise together with a red rose). Oh, so many flavors to choose from. And so many brands. Well? I can't go wrong with cookies and cream, can I?
When I get back to the car, clicked the ignition but it won't start! And I'm six kilometers away from home. It's 8:40 PM and there is no car repair shop in the vicinity. Wait. I remember, there was this TV ad where the husband is supposed to bring the wife (pregnant) to the hospital for the baby is due. The car did not start up too. He called up a number and behold, a motorcycle delivery guy with a fresh battery came to the rescue.
Could this work for me too? I turned on my notebook. Surfed and found the motolite website. I called up the number and the man from the other end said that help would be here in 40 minutes.
Yehey! True enough. The motorcycle riding delivery man arrived. He installed the new battery and in just one click my car's engine jerked again with energy. It is better to wait for an hour and a half than to push my car all by myself. I even paid it using my credit card. Car battery sales has gone a long way.
