I am going to visit my mother in our ancestral house tommorrow. After eight long years of not
seing them because of my busy work, I have all the time to visit them now.

That night, I checked my car thoroughly to make sure of my comfortable travel. I checked
all the tires if there are enough recommended pressure. I check and refill the water level of my
battery. as well as the brake fluid and the brakes.The engine oil if its enough or still in the level
gauge. The gas meter if its enough to travel, perhaps it needs to  full the tank. I see to it that the
warning device and all emergency equipment are intact in case of unexpected problem like
accidental flat tire. The front and side mirror are in the proper place. The car headlight and signal
light are working properly. To make sure that I never meet any trouble when it comes to mechanics,
I plan to drop at my favorite mechanic shop to check again  my car. It is better to take some minute
or hour for checking the car to ensure the performance of the car in this long distance travel. Now
that my car is in good condition to travel in a long way,I have to clean the car to look it more presentable.

After cleaning,I will load all the things that I bring tomorrow for them to save time and avoid the rush.
As I have said earlier, it is my first time to visit my family for a very long time of absence, so I don’t want
any hassle on my trip that’s why I make everything is well prepared.

My husband called up this morning at my office. He asked me to wait for him after office hour because he want to show something to me. I wonder why I need to meet him outside when we can see each other at home.

I was surprised when he fetched me with a blue painted car. I get inside the car and found out that it is comfortable to sit with the adjustable seats. The cool air of air condition is enough to make me rest for a while. I asked him how can he afford to buy this when I know the fact that he gave all his salary to me. My husband revealed that he got his share in selling the property of their parents. Because the amount of his money is not enough to buy a brand new car, he decided to buy the used car offered by his brother’s friend who owns a car store. With the help of his brother, he got the car in affordable price.

While we were on the way home, I can imagine the excitement of my husband to show our new car to our children who were very vocal to asked their father when can we got a car that they can be proud of.

One day at the office, my friend called up inviting me to go with him at the birthday party of our common friends that night. When I told him that I have to go home first to change my suit,he offered his car to drive me home so that we can both attend at the party together.

On our way to the house, I noticed that although his car is old model,it looks like new as soon as you are inside. The air-condition is cold even it is only in a minimum level. All seats were covered in cloth with dark color and adjustable for a comfortable sit. The dashboard is very clean and shiny. The bass and treble of the speaker is very cool with his amplified car stereo. The machine is still in good running condition.
Suddenly,while we were two blocks away from my house, we encountered a road traffic. Everybody want to pass first, that resulted to bumper to bumper traffic. If your brake lining or disk brake is not good in this situation, you might be in trouble. I was thankful that my friend car break is good as new.

After a half hour of hassles due to highway traffic, we finally reached the house and immediately changed my clothes.
