Tales of a commuter - Back to Ayala Edition

So after six months, I'm back to my usual commuting schedule.. Back to familiar territories and manong drivers... I still take the same route and same bus line. So what changed and what stayed the same after these long months?

What's Hot:
There's a new bus routing system in Guadalupe, similar to Buendia where buses only pass by these specific lanes. At least it's less hassle because I don't have to chase after the bus anymore. =)

What's Hotter:
I come in earlier than before (usually between 6:30 to 7am), so I don't experience the rush hour traffic, bus SRO and all those morning commute hell. My entire trip will only be around 15minutes which will take me an hour if I commute at 8:30am.

What's Hottest:
The satellite office that Melvin's company was arranging has finally been approved and they started working there last week. So now, Melvin will be in Makati for at least one day per week. Which means we go to work together, we can have lunch together, and all those really cool stuffs! ^_____________^

What's Not:
The herd that burns their lungs over at THAT one building where I pass by every morning are still there. I still don't know why they loiter at the sidewalk where every passer by can take in their smoke. grrr.. It really irritates me whenever I accidentally sniffed the air in this area. I wonder if this will ever go away. I hope that building will open their own place where their employees can burn their lungs without compromising other people's health.
