2006 October 21 Tagaytay

Drove to Tagaytay last weekend for a [very] late dinner. My co-driver (feeling WRC hehe), Billie, and I took the SLEX. Traffic was light so we were moving pretty fast and completely missed the Sta. Rosa exit. We took the next exit at Greenfields. From there, the road to Tagaytay was well-paved and had almost zero traffic but it was sooo dark. Once at Tagaytay proper, we again missed the turn we’re supposed to take. We were looking for the landmark McDonald’s but didn’t see it. We ended up somewhere in Nasugbu where we retraced our route, met up with Joel who drove out to meet us at the turn, and followed him to Ninoy’s place.

After a quick dinner we drove back to Makati. We were on a convoy with Tina and Rob in another car. The drive down from Tagaytay was pretty uneventful though we did pass by a road crew extricating a pickup that went off the railing. But that’s their event :D When we got to SLEX, it was pretty much deserted so I honked at the other car as a friendly “see you around”, opened up the throttle, and went ahead. Tina could’ve been the one to go ahead as she was on the mighty B16A and I was only on the GA16DNE but I guess she was being nice :)

The drive made me realize that I need auxiliary lights. It’s a glaring (hehe) deficiency with my current driving equipment as the roads, especially at Greenfield, were really dark.
