Iris QC to Makati in 18 minutes and at least 80 kph. Daytime. I couldn’t believe it myself until I finally parked in Valero and looked at my watch. I left the house at 5:54am (I know, addict ako eh; coding today) anticipating some traffic in Edsa here and there.
Lo and behold, I was breezing through the highway and have dramatically decreased incidences of cursing and finger-pointing by as much as 90%. I had to drop off my brother at Boni which is responsible for the 5% (the buses weaving in and out of the bus lanes are horrendously ill-mannered), and a government convoy led by a loud police motorcycle was responsible for the other 5%. Why they were in a rush and had to sound the siren at otherwise peaceful drivers at such an early time and with virtually no traffic at all is beyond me.
Maybe the passenger had a serious case of diarrhea or something.
Anyway, on to much, much better things. Thank you to everyone who has left a comment in my earlier entries. I couldn’t reply even at the office because there’s something wrong with our connection. Apparently I can’t leave a comment on my own blog but I can on others’. But I’ll get around to it tonight or this weekend. So keep it coming 
And oh, I’m ok by the way. Refering to my earlier rant about disappointing people. I just choose to forget and be happy. That’s it.

Eh 5:45 ka ba naman umalis…
Okay na rin, para malamig pa ang hangin at wala pa masyadong kaagaw sa kalsada.

di naman, mga 5:54. haha. oo nga eh, parang ang sarap magbaba ng windows. but no, polluted pa rin ang kalye kahit anong mangyari.
I was reading your other post last night… At hindi na ako nag-iwan ng comment kasi you looked pissed. haha! More energy means happy? ako masama ang tama ko sa revicon Ion na energy drink, para akong naka-spinach. haha!

grabe ano, isa din yan sa pinagiisipan namin ni kengkoy if ever na matuloy ang dream namin na mag stay sa manila. yung trapik kasi yung german school e asa alabang e, sempre balak namin sa middle of manila tumira, hayysss — pero sanayan lang yan! at tama ka, enjoy your life.

talaga, you’re seriously considering to move here?
eh bakit hindi nalang kayo sa south tumira diba?
salamat!
Naku Ris, di ba nakakatakot yung ganung oras? I mean gone are the days when I literally wake up earlier to commute going to the hospital (during my apprentice years). And I cannot imagine living in Manila driving my own car, not that I have, (and I don’t drive) kahit ndi rush hour, sa paghanap pa lang ng carpark, disaster na.
Now I am not sure if I am ready to leave HK for good. So I’m taking your advice, just enjoy life and be happy.
K’s last blog post..Modern Convenience
haha disaster is a nice word. di naman delikado, mas masaya nga eh, kasi konti lang ang sasakyan. but the downside is, it’s detrimental to my sleeping schedule
why not? there’s no place like home like manila, manila.
done answering all the comments! yey!
