Bad Luck or March Luck?

I forgot to share that on March 1, before we went to the Restaurant Depot, we stopped by the Post Office in Branham to drop Honey’s eBay shipment. Due to some bad luck, right on the entrance to the parking lot, a Dodge backed up on us thus giving Honey the opportunity for his very first car accident. Was that bad luck or just March luck?

Good thing about America is, people here are always nicer, wherever, whenever. Honey was able to talk to the guy smoothly and settled the exchange of insurance and other information fast. This morning were calls from that guy’s insurance company and Honey’s dad’s insurance company telling him to get an estimate while they are investigating what really happened during the accident. It was a very minor thing though, left fog light was broken, a little scratch in the bumper and a little dent in the hood, but the estimate totaled to $2,600???! On the other hand, there is this one very unfortunate thing about America and that is everything here that requires repair and/or professional service is always expensive. Might as well buy a new car huh? In my estimate, this job would just cost around P5,000 to P10,000 in the Philippines! That is why we just can’t get over the Philippines! If the investigation turns away from our favor then we could just probably buy the fog light and install it, and let the scratch and the dent be, but we are still crossing our fingers for that guy’s insurance to shoulder the repair, it was really that guy’s fault. This car that Honey’s driving got lots of sentimental value already, according to my mother in law, that aside from the fact that it is already 13 years old, it was my father in-law’s car, and my mother in-law named the car after her beloved mother.

What a way to welcome March, but anyway we still have a lot of good vibes coming and we are counting on it!
