commuter

our 'vintage' car conked out again last saturday so i had to 'commute' going home. antagal ko nang hindi nagko-commute! so it was kind of an adventure for me.. nakakatawa, nakaka-excite!

..i had to ask Ms. As If kung magkano na ang fare ngayon.... P8.50 na pala.
..i had to ask the barker if the jeep was going to AC... oo naman daw.

i wanted to get home as fast as possible bcoz i wanted to see my kids already... but i also found the trip very short. i like watching people so it was nice to be sitting beside strangers, exchanging glances for 20 minutes or so, wondering what they were thinking, and listening to some girl's conversation with her foreigner bf through cellphone. it seemed like he misses her already.

arrived at my stop unexpectedly fast, i was still undecided if i would take a tryk ride or just another jeepney ride to save on money - bankrupt nga ako, di ba? :p ..i was also thinking, "lakarin ko na lang kaya..?" ..inisip ko, "kaya ko naman eh, malapit lang cguro..."

it reminded me of a time in Makati when i brisk walked from Glorietta 4 to our house in Pasay... i did, i swear. it was raining heavily and there were only a few jeepnies that braved the route. people were really just walking because it would take hours of waiting for the brave jeeps to get back from Pasay.

i realized it was a short walk lang naman pala. it only seemed far kasi umiikot at sinusuyod pa nung mga jeep yung mga kanto kanto going to Pasay. walking, you would only walk from Glorietta's Pasay Jeepney Terminal thru Pasay Road, to Don Bosco sidewalk, cross the railroad (at your own risk), cross a highway (at your own risk, too), tapos walk again thru Pasay Road Extension and there, you'll reach Batangas St. =) ang saya, pramis. yun nga lang, basa ako when i reached home. :)

back to the AC commuter's experience.

uhm , naisip ko din naman yung kahihiyan ng asawa ko pag may nakakita saken na friend or acquiantance nya na naglalakad sa Porac-Cutcut Road... baka akala pa, nababaliw na ko... well, malapit na.. bwahaha... joke!

...but still to save on cost, i rode a jeepney going to Sta. Cruz. i reached home naman safe and sound. :)

Jeepney

Artist : Spongecola (spoof: spongola - an office inside joke)

Bumaba ako sa jeepney

Kung saan tayo'y dating magkatabi

Magkahalik ang pisngi nating dalawa

Nating dalawa

Panyo mo sa aking bulsa

O ang amoy mo'y naroon pa rin

Tawa nati'y humahalay sa init

nating dalawa

Subalit ngayo'y wala na (wala na)

Ikaw ay lumayo na (lumayo na)

Naaalala ko ang mga gabing

nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan

Naaalala ko ang mga gabing

magkatabi sa ulan

Kulay nang iyong ngiti

At tikwas ng iyong buhok

At ang lambot ng iyong labi

Ng iyong labi

Kahit anino mo sa malayo

Ay nais masulyapan ka

Mahagkan ka

Upang mapawi

Ang lamig

Subalit ngayo'y wala na (wala na)

Ikaw ay lumayo na (lumayo na)

Naaalala ko ang mga gabing

nakahiga sa ilalim ng kalawakan

Naaalala ko ang mga gabing magkatabi sa ulan(2x)
