i've always wanted to learn how to drive but never felt the need to. when i was in college, i used to stay in a condo right in front of the school. my friends lived nearby or they had cars which allowed us to get to places. then i started working, but my office was also quite near where i lived - so much so that i can walk home if there aren't any cabs. i moved offices at the fort, but that was still relatively near - 15 minutes when there's no traffic. singapore, hmm, not much chance of driving anywhere there. now i'm back home again, and its the fort and makati again. easy-breezy.
unstated, but i suppose i didn't want to learn how to drive because i figured i'll probably never be home. there are always new places i want to check out, or some place i want to see. if i learned how to drive, then nothing's gonna stop me from getting there, right?
fastforward to now: my younger brother has been based in NY for several months now. my dad's car, which he lets him use, is just parked in the garage collecting dust. yes, i felt the car is mocking me every day i go home and i see it just parked there. i thought it would be a good time as any to start learning how to drive. and so i did.
now, to draw out that list of places to check out :P
