Before I went there, mom told me that they didn't prepare anything for his birthday, she was right and it was another ordinary day for them. But I saw their small sari-sari store, hang out there and talk with them for couple of hours. I could have left earlier but it was so hot. After a few hours, I decided to leave to avoid traffic because it's the weekends and more vehicles come and go in the afternoon to evening. Instead of me walking, my brother wanted me to tag along since he's going to the market with his scooter. I've always been afraid of it, because of the feeling of falling down when ever he makes the turn.So far I didn't fell down from it.

I love back riding in a scooter with my gay officemate before when we go home from work . . But hubby didn't want me to , because he said it's prone to accident , which i agree too . So i just obeyed my husband .

I agree with your husband @SIMPLYD Its just not safe to ride scooters and bikes on our roads anymore. Even if you wear a helmet and other protective gears.

@Letranknight2015 That is so true . Even if the scooter's driver is so careful , it would be useless when some are driving recklessly . And with a scooter , it could just be a big which of wind from a big car and the scooter could be thrown already .

Well, he's right @SIMPLYD not just the scooter here, but some motorist are irresponsible to the point were they don't pay attention on the road.

But you know how to drive a scooter/motorcycle? It's convenient. I just can't do it frequently now since it's too hot outside.

@Letranknight2015 was the one driving the motorcycle a reckless driver? i am certain he also thought of you as his backrider.

I never tried to driven a scooter. However, I got used to riding it when I had my community project. There is no other vehicles around.

I have the same fear. I'm scared riding on a scooter even with a helmet. Though the driver of the scooter is driving safely, the probably that we'll be bumped by a vehicle is high. I don't want my brain to scatter. I've seen instances of scattered brain and body parts.

Hello @rina110383 the helmet is kinda heavy I think specially when you're in a long way to your destination. from his house to the main road is already far away to me, scariest ride ever.
