A really crappy thing happened to me on the way home from work today. While driving my usual route to the house, my car suddenly went DEAD in the middle of EDSA at around 6:15PM in the evening. I managed to swerve to the left side before everything in my car stopped working, so whew! That included the wipers, the horn, the windows, and the brakes! Considering this was the first time this has ever happened to me, I called my dad to help me out. Then I was supposed to call the car battery service company to bring a spare battery to me, but this guy suddenly pulls up in front of me and asks me if I needed help. He offered to tow my car from where I was straight to my house, which was almost an hour away! I was surprised and kept asking myself why some stranger would actually offer to tow me from a highway to my house. My friends kept telling me to be careful because he might kidnap me, ha ha! But he really did keep his word and I got to my house safe and sound, after around 45 minutes. I was very grateful and so was my dad, so we asked him to grab a quick dinner here and gave him some money for his trouble. He didn’t want to take it and said he wasn’t asking for anything and that it was also way too much… but we thought otherwise.

So, wow, there really ARE still good people out there. When I look back at what happened earlier, I still can’t believe it. When I tell my friends the story, they keep saying how WEIRD it was, and how that NEVER happens to anyone. So I guess I’m just really lucky or I probably have a guardian angel watching over me. And the fact that the world has NOT run out of good people who would help you out without asking for anything in return is always a welcome thought. So a big THANK YOU to Mr. Felix Bihag, plate number CMN 458 (unfortunately I don’t know what car this is as I know nothing about cars), for proving that there are still good people out there, and the world isn’t as bad as we think it is.
