Driving is hard work

It's been almost a year, but still I can't drive on my own.

Well, I can drive, but not confident enough to drive solo.

Usually I have my dad or my brother or some other guy who knows how to drive with me.

Just in case someone needs to pull the handbrake.

Recently though, they've been getting more lenient... Like my brother (since my dad's not around) have been letting me park the car, giving me some instruction on the way. Before they'll be the one to park the car, especially after the "adventure incident".

Last week, my brother let me park the car all by myself. He told me to drop him off their house, and I'll be the one to park the car at home. I got a little nervous at the thought, but since I was able to get the car out earlier without not much hassles, maybe I can park the car as well. (BTW, this won't be the first time for me to park the car. It's just the first time I'll be ALONE when I park the car).

When I got home, I opened the gates and started maneuvering the car. After a while (and I can proudly say it wasn't thirty minutes :P), I was able to successfully park it. Sure, I *almost* scratched the adventure again (I had to twist the side mirror in not to scratch it on my first try), but eventually I was able to put the car back in. It's just that I had to get out of the passenger seat since my side was too close to the adventure (and I might end up scratching the car when I get out).

Proud of my achievement, I texted my brother what I did, and a little bit after, was snoozing of.

Haaay.... driving is hard work. T-T
