when you’re driving down a bumper-to-bumper EDSA, and your temper meter just cannot help but go way east of the dial, watch the billboard ads!

and then you forget about the undisciplined bus drivers, the wang-wangs* weaving through the already-impatient traffic thinking it would part like the Red Sea, the motorcycle drivers (no more adjectives needed there), and the other cars as irate as you.

instead, you will spend a wonderful time admiring Dingdong’s tacky billboard ad, all the beauty centers’ secrets to a new you, that bright LED widescreen on Guadalupe and of course, Derek Ramsay’s awesome abs (if that’s not already the cause of traffic).
