Yup, I am in dire need of bicycle, not just want. Okay fine, both.
When I raised the topic of buying a bicycle, my Mum frowned. I get it: she does not approve of my bicycle dreams. But it's my own money! She gave me a deeper frown which meant I said what I said. I looked at my Dad for refuge but he just laughed at me said not now.
Why???
My Mum is the world's number one worry wart. Anything that I or my brothers did such as stealing my Uncle's bicycle to cycle with friends after school make her scream like we killed someone. Plus news about cyclists getting involved to so much accident and leads up to death ~eek!~. So my cycling dreams are shattered and will be put on hold until I finish law school, pass the bar exam, and live on my own.
I'm 24 now. Imagine that, it will take me more years to do that.
Yup, I'm jobless right now and only does sideline as ghostwriter of sorts (thesis, speech, essay) for a little amount just to fill my hungry stomach or buy simple things that make me happy.
Few days ago, I went to a cycling shop and checked out the possible bicycles I will consider for future purchase. I don't like a mountain bike because I'm not into such adventure, I only want city cycling, so I did looked for those models. I liked one and it costs Php 15, 990. Okay, I won't complain for the price, but if it's really sturdy and could be used for many years then I'll consider. I went back to my Dad and told him about purchasing a bike with my own money and he agreed but then my Mum, as always, said no and can only do it when I have my own place and job. Sucks, right?
So I'm here watching at my friends' cycling stories on FB and IG plus flaunting their Strava. Hell, I'm jealous! Yup, that's the feeling right now!!!
For now, tingin-tingin lang muna!
