whapakk.

I’m searching for Beatrice.

It’s been more than three months since Ondoy, since Belinda (my car, the Altis that was flooded in) drowned in mud. It was my first car, bought for me and Jason by our dad, and since total repairs for it were quoted at a total of around two hundred thousand pesos, we decided to sell it off for a small return. It’s a crappy situation to be in, because since at that time and until now, I’m not ready to shell out anything for a new car. Who would have known people would lose cars to floods back in September?

Belinda as a dirty bitch.

So I’m thinking of getting a new one. I’m looking for Beatrice. Thanks to what happened this morning when thieves tried to steal my iPod Nano, I decided that whatever happens, I’m getting a new car soon.

I’ve already window-shopped today for cars and I’ll be featuring all the cars I want within a reasonable budget here in a series called My Search for Beatrice, with the reviews, photos, costs, and my personal take on the cars. Thing is, I would need people to help me decide, as I have said many times before, I’m a complete dumbo with cars. That’s why I value others’ opinion more than my own on this one. I promise not to buy shit until I know shit, especially with the large amount of cash involved for this fucking transaction (which I never wanted to spend in the first place, but stupid Laglag-Barya gangsters convinced me to get myself a car again).

So, Beatrice, magkano ka kaya (I wonder how much you’d cost)?
