Commuting Again!

Yikes! I just can't believe it! I am commuting again after that horrible incident happened in my dad's car. Oh well, there's no one to be blamed here but me. I borrowed my dad's car last week and decided to hit Baguio to visit a friend of mine. I did it with permission of course but i failed to check its condition before driving that far. Traveling from Cavite to Baguio will take you 2 to 3 hours of driving since it is miles away from our place. It is my best friend's wedding and i really have to be there no matter what.
Well, I failed to check the engine before i decided to go so while i am in the middle of my driving, the car suddenly stopped and in my surprised, i saw the front engine smoking. I was like terrified that time since i didn't know what to do. I wish i could fix it myself but i don't have any knowledge about troubleshooting. And so i ended up leaving my dad's car and hire a taxi instead for the sake of my friend's wedding LOL.
And then, i decided to call for a technician to pick up my car and bring it to their shop. And for some reasons, the car is still on their shop, trying to repair the issue. Oh God! What have I done? Is it really that serious? I hope this shop is not taking advantage of me because i just can't see any reason why i have to wait this long. I guess if i bring it on a shop like that Auto Repair Beaverton in Oregon, I'm sure the issue with my car can be fixed in no time. I have heard so many good things about their company and I wish i could find the same thing here in my area. Anyway, i have no choice but to commute again while the car is still on the repair shop. Sobs!
