Tales of a commuter - Rush Hour
I personally set a goal to come to the office earlier and have a sort of early shift. It seemed promising for the past three weeks as I was coming in between 7-7:30am. I was enjoying the early morning laid-back, 15-minute commute.
And then it happened.
Last Tuesday, I came in late. It was still 7:45 when I was waiting for the bus but it was already HOT and buses were full.
Being the macho girl that I was, I jumped in the overflowing bus so I won't be late. I was literally standing by the door. Good thing manong kunduktor asked me to move up and the people around to make an inch of a space for me. Para nga naman di maipit ng pinto.
There I was.. perspiring my gut out, with butts bumping at me from all directions, with manongs (who were reaching for the hand support) almost have their arms around me... There were sweat everywhere, from all ages and gender. There were cussing and swearing. There were bodies touching...
That's when I realized the most amazing thing...
Rush Hour commute is very much like an Orgy.
All the essentials are there. Just replace those manongs with hunks and I'll willingly ride the rush hour traffic everyday. haha!

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.
