oh happy day. NOT!
It’s Thursday. Another sucky day in Pasig. Pffft.
Kuya and I left home at around 9am (car-less since Mr.Fordy is a bit sickly daw these days), and I arrived at the office at 10:36. Daym. That’s one and a half hour from Greenwoods to Cybergate 3 in Mandaluyong, a good hour spent in Pasig alone! Under normal circumstances, my travel time SHOULD only be 30 to 40 minutes tops, 15-20 minutes if there’s absolutely no traffic. But then again, the traffic in Pasig is sooo far off the normal mark that it’s already insane. And if that construction thing in C5 doesn’t get finished soon, I’d probably look 20 years older by the end of this year because of the kunsumisyon. Hay. Heavy traffic and it’s sister-problem—the scarcity of public vehicles to accommodate my ass—makes my blood boil faster than, well, Willie Revillame.
And then there are the bastos manongs. Can’t a girl walk down the street or stand under a waiting shed without getting lewd remarks shouted at her every 30 seconds? Okay, so I’m wearing shorts today, pero it still happens even if I’m in jeans so you can’t really blame the wardrobe. It’s super shitty how men—especially trucking men who by far are the worst—treat women while they’re out on the streets. Shitty, egg-less creeps. Palibhasa they can easily step on the gas and make a run for it when a girl decides to fight back and make him go blind with her payong’s deadly tip. It’s during those times that I wish I had the power to inflict pain using my mind ala-Jane—one of the not-so-nice vampires in the Twilight saga. From afar, I’d make them feel as if they’re balls are being crushed, their butt cracks being prodded with a curtain rod, the size of the ones in our sala (simultaneous torture ito ha). Then maybe they’ll learn to keep their mouths shut. I’m not even gonna go on discussing the exact phrases I get from ‘em. They’re really bad, I tell you.
Oh well. At least I made it the office alive today, so I guess I can stop ranting and be thankful no one ran me over on the way. Nakakainis lang talaga.
*Happy thoughts… happy thoughts…*
P.S. Ayun, here’s a happy thought. Joanna and I (and hopefully with Russ & Elijah) are gonna watch HSM on Ice tonight at Araneta. I’m so eksayteeed! :P I wish I brought my camera though. Argh. But I guess the cam-phone will hafta do! comments
