In celebration of the month that was, I’m sharing with you a picture that would have been perfect for an April Fool’s day joke. I say would have been because this picture isn’t part of a prank - it’s real.
Three years ago on the 31st of March, an Aratiles (or Muntingia) tree fell on my car.
Proof after the jump.
My license plate says it all: WHY?!?
It was a nice, sunny day with only a light breeze - a breeze that barely even got the branches of smaller trees to sway.
I didn’t hit the tree - the tree hit my car.
My car wasn’t even the closest target - the red Nissan to my right was closer.
When I saw my car, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I was so shocked I couldn’t even blow my top - all I could do was laugh, take pictures and laugh some more.
Want to see more shots? Follow me.
To those of you in the Philippines, Happy Labor Day! To the rest of you, have a nice day!

Hey love! Yeah it sucks that a tree fell on your car and it wasn’t even the closest car to the tree. I guess the tree couldn’t resist your car. I can relate to the tree coz I couldn’t resist falling for you!
WHY? Yes your plate says it all, why did the tree fall on your car and why did I fall for you? The answer is, just because! So when I buy a car I wil try 2 get da plate COZ. 
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I WOULD BE WILLING TO FALL FOR YOU ANY DAY! mwahh!

I said it before, I’ll say it again - you’re too cute. I’m just irresistable, I guess - and I’m sure I’m gonna get a lot of flak for saying that.
I love you!
