Car Maintenance: Clutch

Car maintenance and it’s hassles are slowly becoming a part of my life.  This is the bitter side of having a car, it’s nice to know that you have a car, but it’s so much of a hassle when something goes wrong.  An entire day will be wasted.  One recent problem that I encountered has something to do with the Clutch.  It simply is not working, when I stepped on it, it’s like there’s no tension or nothing there at all.  I didn’t know what to do when we stalled cause  I can’t shift to any gear.  Thankfully we called my FIL and he quickly went to check on the car and found the problem.  The clutch fluid was leaking due to a broken primary clutch.  What happened next was what amazed me, somehow my Father-in-Law was able to take the car and drive it WITHOUT using clutch from Ortigas to his shop in Las Pinas where he had it repaired.  And yes he was able to shift gears without using clutch, I didn’t exactly get how, but he did mention that there is a timing when you rev your engine where you can shift without using clutch.  Amazing what you can do when you understand the inner workings of a car.  To make the long story short, our church day was messed up by the car problem, but I am thankful that the car was easily fixed.  They replaced both the primary and secondary clutch and that fixed the problem.  I hope I don’t get any other problems for  a long time

My Pizza Hut Order Online Experience

Yesterday, we tried to order Pizza Hut online. The process went smoothly. I ordered 2 large Viva pizza in Hawaiian flavor. After submitting my order I noted the time. It was 4:38 PM.

I thought to order Pizza Hut online was only going to last 45 minutes but I was wrong. I waited for an hour until I couldn’t wait any longer. I knew the order didn’t push through because Pizza Hut was supposed to call me for the confirmation of my order. I received no such call. Finally, at about 5:30 I fell asleep.

I woke up a few minutes before 8 PM. I heard my husband talking to Pizza Hut Delivery on his cellphone. They were confirming our order at last. They said they had technical difficulties on their end that’s why it took 3 1/2 hours for them to call back. They confirmed the order and told us how much it would cost us and then asked how much we are going to pay. We said they should bring this amount of change because we have no exact amount for the payment.

The order arrived at about 45 minutes. I thought everything was going smoothly but to my dismay they don’t have any change. The delivery boy said it was noted on the paper that we have the exact amount of money for the payment.

Because of my experience I give Pizza Hut Order Online a rating of 1 out of 5. Don’t ever, ever order when you’re famished as you’ll never know when they will encounter another technical difficulty.

How to Drive Your Car through Flood

This is really funny! It’s useful too and you can’t afford not to watch it. During hard times, Filipinos would find ways in order to survive or in this case, drive through flood water.
