Shit and vomit
Masarap sumakay sa mga airconditioned bus dahil malamig, mabilis, at hindi ka naghihilamos sa usok at alikabok kapag nasa jeep ka lang o bus na “butas. Iyon nga lang, maeenjoy mo ang sakay na ito pag a.) hindi siksikan sa mga pasahero mula pinto hanggang dulo o b.) may naamoy at nakikita kang hindi kanais-nais sa loob. Dalawang beses na akong nakaranas nitong pangalawang “distraction.”

Ipit
Nangyari lang ito kahapon habang naghihintay ng masasakyang bus pauwi galing sa trabaho.
Lagpas 5:30 ng hapon na iyon, at mga isang dosena kaming mga empleyado at commuter na nag-aabang ng masasakyan sa bangketang nasa paanan ng overpass sa tapat ng Ylanan gate ng UP-Diliman. (Siya nga pala, nasa gitna na ito ng Commonwealth Avenue na lalo pang pinalawak ng MMDA para may madaanan pa ang mga sasakyan.) Pumara na ako ng dalawang bus pero hindi para rin ako makasakay, dahil hanggang SM Fairview lang ang byahe nila.

Habulin ng maiinit na ulo
There’s a saying that goes: when it rains it pours… and no I’m not referring to the messed up weather we have today but rather on another topic regarding commuters that I encountered today.

Why buses shouldn’t have curtains
Other than the more obvious “so cops/people in general can see what’s going on inside a bus say, if there’s a hold-up or hostage situation going on,” public utility buses shouldn’t have curtains. I say screw the sunlight, I just don’t want anyone else to experience this scenario (and blog about it) ever again.

FX Girl
This happened a few years back, when I was a single Journalism major and was prowling around for a pretty girl who would make the mistake of going out with me. Life was so much simpler then. I found this old blog entry recently and it brought me a few chuckles.

Pagtulog
Isang kasarapan sa pagsakay ng FX ay pupuwede kang matulog habang bumibiyahe ito. Syempre depende sa layo ng lugar na pupuntahan mo at kung siksikan ba talaga ang sasakyan, (lalo na ang gitnang part nito na kailangan mo pang iurong ang iyong puwet magkasya lang kayong apat sa pagkakaupo.). Dahil umagang-umaga, bagong gising ka pa at madalas humahangos sa kahahabol nito habang dumadaan sa inyong kalye.

Gusto mong marape?
Ke babae, lalake, bakla o tomboy ka pa, walang sinasanto ang pagsakay sa LRT2 (pag oras ng pasukan o uwian), MRT (pag rush hour) at lalong lalo na sa LRT1 (all the time).

Nang sumakay ako sa “butas” na bus
Matagal-tagal na rin akong hindi nakakasakay ng “butas” na bus. Tawag ito sa mga bus na walang aircon, bukas ang mga bintana, yari sa kahoy ang silya, at dalawa ang pintuan sa gilid. Madalas silang bumiyahe sa EDSA pero mayroon mangilang-ngilan ding namamasada sa Espana papuntang Fairview.
Huli akong nakasakay noong 4th year college pa ako, kasama ang isang kaibigan sa UST nang sabay kaming umuwi sa Fairview mula sa Arroceros.

Losing a cp in a stupid way
To those who know me well, I’ve had a my fair share of mishaps, lost phones, ugh moments when I just forget something and lose it in the process (to be honest, most of the somethings I forget are either not mine, or are very expensive), and in my inner circle of friends I rant in their top 3 of people who keep on losing their phones, I either take the first place or the second.

I just killed a street kid… sort of…
Well I ended my uber-long vacation this Easter Sunday. So I packed my bags and took a jeepney back to Makati. Now as I told you in my earlier blog, there’s lots of pasaways in Makati jeepneys. And today, I encountered another pasaway.
