Parting with Bunso is not easy. Bunso is our Toyota Corolla four-door sedan which has been with us for 12 years.
Bunso came a few months before I started my doctoral program at UPLB. She joined us when Bobby decided to pursue his doctorate in environmental science. This prompted us to enroll our growing kids at the Christian School International. Bunso accompanied us every week of our family's two-year stay at LB. We went home every Friday night and went back to LB every Saturday afternoon. Bunso joined me and Bobby for my weekly water quality monitoring at Angasin River located between Talisay and Tanauan, Batangas, and for Bobby's groundwater assessment in the coastal barangays of Tanza, Cavite.
For 12 years, Bunso never failed us. She did have some minor breakdowns but these took place in areas near our house or the auto shop or in a place where we could easily seek help.
Bunso, thank you very much. Job well done!
