If you happen to live within Metro Dumaguete, you’d notice
how often checkpoints occur at any given time. Normally, if you are the
law-abiding type of person and you have your driving license, vehicle
registration and side mirrors all in tact, then you have nothing to worry about.
But if you’re someone like Sinta who’s got all the excuses in the world not to
renew his license for over a year now, then that’s where your problem starts.
So how do you get away with it? Most often, you just try to avoid the highways and
make friends with all the alternate routes. They eat up your fuel alright, but
you certainly have no choice.
But what if you fell into the trap a little too late for you
to notice?
Last night after our “tocino high” with some of our old
friends (who got reunited…it’s complicated), I had a very heated argument with
Sinta on our way home. In the middle of all the rebuttals and rants to make an
interruption, we came across a PNP checkpoint – something Sinta has been
avoiding for the last year or two. Imagine the horror on my face when I
realized that it was too late for us to turn around and escape! Those policemen
were just only five meters away from us and Sinta was roughly 3 seconds away from
being held hostage! Oh noooo! We’re doomed for life I wanna die that minute!!! Okay,
that was an exaggeration.
So what’s a guy like Sinta did? Well, you know what they
say. Guys got to do what they’ve got to do! ACT EVERYTHING OUT. To sum it all
up in three letters, LIE. LOL. Okay, so this is going to be longer than I
imagined, but probably doing this list would be best for my readers who share
the same problem. This might not be perfect, but damn it they’re good and
slightly effective!
