Waiting for almost an hour in a bus stop is not so much of a happy thing to experience, unless you’re with your special somone. Good thing I was with my Pareng Carl and the moment was not that dull. We didn’t have a car so the best thing to do was commute and use “the bus” to reach to our destination. It was also hard for us to contact the person that we’re supposed to meet because we did not have a celphone. The schedule was set to meet at 4:30 pm before Joyce, the one responsible for the car that we’re going to use to watch the concert, goes to work. At almost 5:15, finally, the bus came and we just hurriedly jump into it heeding to her place. The original plan was, we take the car with us and drive Joyce to work and fetch Zani at the back of PCC. Because we were late, Joyce just drove herself to work without a driver’s license but a students permit. So, we arrive at her house and the car was already gone with her. Haha.. it was such a funny incident. We were like waiting for almost an hour to catch the bus and we arrived at the place without the car. Pareng Carl and I actually thought that there was nobody in their house. We knocked the door so hard and after 10 minutes or so, her sister heard it and came down. She said, “oi carl! Umalis na si joyce… ma li late na kasi sya sa trabaho.” Our minds were like saying, “Holy cow! Hahaha.” We did not anticipate that Joyce would not wait for us any longer because she has to work. We need to see her because she has the car and of course the key to the car. The cost for both of us to ride the bus was four dollars and that’s the only money we had. We still had the transfer ticket though but it would take us time to wait for another bus to arrive. A wonderful idea came to our minds so we could easily get to PCC – hitch a ride….
We had a bet that if Pareng Carl could stop a car and would let us ride toward PCC , ill give him a reward. I actually thought to do the same to him but I refused. I just don’t have the guts to stop a moving car along the Kamehameha highway just to let us hitch a ride. I learned a lesson after we were able to make it to PCC though (No guts! No Glory..hehe). There were like 15 cars that passed by us and still Pareng Carl was consistent enough with the idea of hitching a ride. It was wayyy fun! I actually enjoyed it. Finally, a black truck driver noticed us and apparently stopped in front of us – such was our first hitch ride. The guy dropped us along Hau’ula. It was a wonderful adventure for us. But, we still need to get to Laie at PCC which would take us around 5 minutes (not by walk) from where we’re at. So, we hitched a ride for the second time and it was a blue ford truck 1995 driver who pitied us and took us to PCC. It was such a wonderful ride! We actually took pictures of ourselves to prove that we did hitch a ride twice in a row. One thing was certain, i owed him a reward. hehe..
It was an experience that will never be forgotten. Imagine hitching a ride for two times consecutively. It was incredible! Pareng Carl was the one who made our experience possible because he was confident enough to make the trucks stop so we could hitch a ride.. haha… Job well done carl! Next stop is our NEYO experience…
