car trouble

i was driving down the street today when i noticed that i was low on gas. the needle was on the "E", indicating that i was literally out of gas. "no problemo" i figured, as there was a cheap gas station that i often frequented just about half a mile down the road. as i passed by another gas station, i thought to myself, "ha! $2.37 a gallon? that gas station is for suckers. i'll save 5~10 cents per gallon at the other gas station down the street."

while i was waiting at the next traffic light, a ton of console display lights such as: "engine oil", "check engine soon", and many other threatening lights reared their ugly heads as they flashed on. not really knowing what to do, i quickly shifted to neutral to take the load off then engine. then i gently pressed the gas to see how the engine was running. much to my surprise, the engine was no longer running! apparently it had stalled as the RPM needle was stuck at zero. after a few seconds of my mind completely blanking, i turned the key and thankfully the engine started back up again.

i mentally cursed myself as i was basically in between the two gas stations i knew about. luckily, i quickly spotted another gas station on the left. i pulled in to fill up at the same price as the other station: $2.37 a gallon.

having satiated my car's thirst, i went on my way. however, i did pass by the "cheap" gas station i had initially wanted to go to. and the price of gas there? a slick $2.37 per gallon.

new year shenanigans

a bit late for the new year, but this happened on the eve of the 31st/morn of the 1st.

a group of us (primarily comprise of guys) were all in a suite in this hotel after coming back from a huge party held in the hotel's ballroom. while we were hanging out in the room, several drunk female voices could be heard wandering around the hotel halls, probably looking for their room. guy 1 decided to open the room door and yell out "hey! there's a party in room 3010!" before closing the door again.

before long, we heard a knocking and some girls saying "hey, i heard there's a party in room 3010." guy 2, seizing the moment to meet these inebriated girls, quickly leapt up and went outside to greet them. guy 1 then took the opportunity to close the room door, locking guy 2 outside of the room with the girls.

at this point, guy 3 peeked through the door peep hole and then remarked to guy 1 "is it because of the fish eye lens, or are those girls.... kinda big?" just after guy 1 confirmed the girls' rotund size with guy 3, a quick and quiet rapping was heard at the door.

"hey, guys... help! it's me! let me in! save me! let me in!" whispered guy 2. guys' 1 and 3 fell down laughing as they watched guy 2 get pulled off by the girls... perhaps to some other party they had heard about.

be careful what you wish for... cause you just might get it. especially if it's drunk girls that want you to party with them.
