driver's license

           I am the most laid back person I ever met. Im not even sure if that's the right word. It's just that, I dont keep goals that much so I often end up wandering in the air. I think its something that I need to work on in the future. Well, I do have things I wanted to accomplish in life, I just needed to be more focus, I guess. 
           So, I remembered that early this year I had a few goals I wanna accomplish before this year will end. I guess I was keeping it at a very minimum number of 3 goals. I honestly cant remember the third one and most probably its the reason why by far (as early as now) I only get to see the two in progress ;p Anyhow, Im happy about it.
             My first goal is something I wanna talk about some other time, in another post. But the second one is about obtaining a driver's license! So lookie the title of the blog! 
           Now to start off, here's a pic of myself in the driver's seat.
                                                   I am now the girl behind the wheels!

            Oh well, for the life of my dad-- he believed that I can never drive a manual car so he bought an automatic and used car that I can use to and from work. It's a 2004 model of Nissan March. Well, who cares. I just needed wheels so I was kind of happy because that means, it will eventually put a stop to my seemingly endless agony of commuting every day. 
           But of course, I needed to get proper license in driving. I got one last month. 

  It's a student permit that I needed to get first

       I am impressed of how fast and orderly the LTO (Talisay) was when I acquired my student permit. It was very convenient and I went through a smooth process. I paid about P300 to get one. It's actually my second time in getting a student permit. It expires after a year but you can apply for a real license (Professional or Non Professional) after a month from the day you got the SP. So an SP looks like the one above. I must say that I hate the government photo IDS! Everything in their office is routine so they wont care much if you're prepared to get yourself a shot or not. So mine looks like a disaster, as always!

         I just got back from my trip in Palawan. Earlier today, I went to LTO to get my Non Prof license. I paid about a hundred pesos to start the process. I chose to follow the standard process in obtaining a license wherein one would need to pass the written exams before the practical test. Well to cut the chase, I didnt pass the written exams. Needed to get 30 out of 40 but I only got 29! I dont know if I will be frustrated. Well I guess I am. I needed to wait another month to reapply. So thats another friggin 30 days of not being allowed to drive alone! Oh well, I am too dormant to take any risk/ exams so failing the written exams made me sad today. The thing about it though is that I can retake the next month. Now my mini goal is to nail the exams and give them a whooping perfect score! hahaha
         Everything happens for a reason, maybe despite of my hours in practicing driving, maybe I needed another month to practice more before the practical exams. Hopefully next month I wont need any lucks to pass. I will ace it for sure ;p
