Mister Donut and Motorcycle Accident

Then we made a miscalculated right turn! We crashed and bump on a concrete cement!

I can't sleep last night

I prepared several key points last night for the video "vlog" that I will make today. It took me up till 1:30 am this morning and before going to bed I decided to re-schedule making the "vlog". What is left to do is to take photos for the blog I'm gonna post on hive today and take a bunch of street photos. So I slept for 3 hours and we woke up about 4:30 am. My girlfriend and I pursue getting up early thinking maybe we can take pictures of the sunrise along the way. But with all the necessary things to do, like taking a bath and other stuff, it is already bright outside when we left our boarding house. I drive fast and before we found a good sport to take photos, the sun is already up and high. We still took a few photos though.

Is this a warning?

You're too slow!
What took you so long in the bathroom?
Why are you going back there again?
What time is it? Were gonna miss the sunrise!

Words we said to each other before we left the house and hit the road. We never argue with each other every time we go on a road trip, only this morning. We pray before we ride the motorcycle but, I can feel that we didn't agree with each other in prayer. We journey in silence for about 3 kilometers when suddenly, I remember that she forgot to bring the donuts! We drove back home again just to get it. I am so irritated but I let it pass and move on. So we found the spot but as I've said the sun is already up but we manage to get some pictures of it. The first photo of this post is of my girlfriend holding a plastic bag with a box of donuts on it. And now along the way we forget what happened and continue with our trip.

The Mister Donuts

Maybe you are wondering why we have a box of donuts. I wrote and drafted an article about it, so I need to produce a photo that I can attach to it. I guess you want to ask also where did we get our donuts considering that it is too early in the morning. We bought it the day before this day since we know that there is no donut store in the place we are going. We are going to Placer Masbate, a municipality that is 100 kilometers away from the city, why that far? I feel like I can do everything I want if no one is around or knows me and sometimes people in the city are not welcoming like folks outside the city. So we go that far just to do some stuff like this.

Brunch at the beach

After a long drive, we looked for a place to eat and rest. We found a place called Casa Ysabelle, a small beach resort. We didn't like the place so we just left the motorcycle there and headed to the seaside. We tried to take some photos there at the sea, the sun is too bright and not the ideal time to do a photoshoot but we still do it, we are not professionals. We sat under a palm tree and eat donuts as our brunch to save some money. A little rest and we headway to the town proper to do street photography.

The motorcycle accident

At last, we reached the town of Placer. We are looking for the right street where there are interesting people and movements. We want to familiarize also all the corners of the town so we strolled a little bit. As a beginner driver, there is a problem with me strolling where I don't know where the exact location I will go. Because of my slow decision-making on when I should need to go straight or make a turn, I usually do a bad turn. So now, as we are riding the motorcycle for about 5-10 kilometers per hour, as we enjoy the slow ride around town, a tight sharp intersection surprised me. As I've said we are just strolling and we don't know where the exact location we want to go to. I don't know if I'm gonna go straight or turn right. My mind is too late to react but still decided to make a turn. Then we made a miscalculated right turn! We crashed and bump on a concrete cement that scratched the motorcycle cover and damaged its exhaust pipe's heat guard.

It's worth blogging

This kind of situation should not discourage us from achieving our goal for this day. But for me, I decided to cancel everything and go back home. With all the arguments and shortcomings from the very beginning of the day we made, I'm afraid that there might be more things that will happen along the way and I don't want to risk anymore. The donut cost us ₱350 and ₱250 for the gasoline, scratches on my new bike, and ₱350 for the exhaust pipe's new heat guard that I will order online for replacement of the damaged one. It's worth it even though we only got a few photos. We just need to wait for another day to try something again, I hope you will be with us. Follow me...
