dang!

ok, so i said that i am going to post at least one picture of me in a day... but i can't really effiin find that damn usb cord for the card reader so can't put the picture in todays version but i promise that i will put it tomorrow... the picture features me and my 2 cousins while one is messin up my hair and the other puts his face in the hole of a winnie the pooh pillow...

so let me rant about what sucks and what is good in being a student finding out that summer is almost over and you need to go back to the hustle and bustle of the city to study (even though i love livin in the city)...

sucks:
1. traffic... shit dead heavy traffic... i know the railway system is good enough to cover the traffic's screw up but man, all those horns honking loudly because they cant wait to get a move on! why is it that people just cant get their hands off their horns! man! i just think that it couldve been better if they widened the original plans for TAFT AVE but who couldve foreseen the that the amount of vehicles would burst into freakin number that theyd clog up the streets!

2. railway system lack of trains : i know i said in number 1 that the railway system is pretty good but man, their lack of train takes a toll on people... a lot are just cramming and packing themselves in already tight trams! airconditioned (yes) yet the smell that you have to endure and after you get off the train, at 8 in the morning , you already smell like shit...

3. the rain: i am the type of person who loves the rain but when you wont really try to combine metro manila and raining because it is one fucked up situation that you will get... a lot of us have tried it... but man, why cant it rain and not flood...

4. not enough elevators: imagine running up to the 7th floor of the building because the line for the elevator is pretty damn long... whew!

5. kotong cops! : i know i made a hiss of what manila's traffic situation is but what sucks the most are the kotong cops... alongside UN AVE. corner TAFT AVE., there is that one cop that usually gets 50php per vehicle... he would really find something or some violation for the driver to squeeze some dough! and mind you he accepts 20php from some of the jeepney drivers!

food for thought:

why is it, in the philippines, that when there is no traffic enforcer in the middle trying to mess everything the traffic seems suave and smooth while when there is a traffic enforcer around it seems like all hell is loose! ayt?! LOL!

good..

1. manila is the place to be if you want to be someone.. every student gets a bit of the real life in the city and if you want to be someone someday you need to get all the harshness and the goodness in life and what better place to get that but from the grinding and pounding that one person gets in the city... tough!

2. people: by saying :people" i meant that people are trying to do their own thing and not mind other people's business... (or is it because i dont really talk to people when im reading or working on something at school)? hmmmmmmmm...  let me think... i have this trait that when i want to shut you out of my life then you wouldnt be able to penetrate that barrier unless i tear it down... so if i decided that i need some "alone time" then i would definitely get it and you could try as hard as you can but you just wont be able to bother me...

3. forgive me if this sounds stupid but i really love looking at the skies of manila when they are blue and all and while im up there at the higher levels of the school buildings.. its just i find serenity looking at the emptiness and the fullness of the sky thinking about life.. (that's irony for you)

4. time: funny how you cant seem to fit all the time of the day that you have to accomplish all the things to be done during the day... in the provinces, i find it hard to burn all the hours but here? man, i really love it when time flies so fast and i just feel tired and drained all day... that is because that is the only tie when i really get a good night sleep...

5. movies: it takes 2 full weeks in the province for the movies to get there! man! you really cant talk about it and people are shouting their opinions on the net while you are burning it movie hell!

so that's it... :D a lot of things that makes the metro more enticing for me...

by the way,... today's picture will come out tomorrow... peace im out!
