The Trip

Whoever in his right mind would make patol a jeepney driver? It doesn't mean that if you drive this white Fortuner that you are educated. You know how jeepney drivers are... they think they own the road... switching lanes... stopping in the middle of the road dropping off passengers and at the same time picking up another set of passengers. They do this in order to survive in this world.

Yes, their lack of road discipline is annoying. What should you do? Give way to them and when they get to overtake you, you honk at them non-stop. Afterwards try to catch the jeep and make it gitgit and at the same time block all the vehicles behind. Then, roll down your window and exchange not so nice words to the driver.

Good thing we arrived safely at the train station. I just realized that it is more violent in the first train which is exclusive for women, children, handicapped and eldery. Imagine all the pushing, nudging and taray exchanges! Not a very good situation to be in.

Why do people act like this anyway? Everyone works to survive. Each one would like to reach their destination as quickly as possible. But bakit kailangan makipagunahan at sabayan pa ng init ng ulo?

People these days...
