When the rat climbs a tree
Pull its tail
and remembr me
[i saw these poetic (?) phrases from a jeepney that i rode from mom's office to the doctor's clinic]
what the??? kumpleto naman ako sa vitamins at maganda naman ang IQ ko...pero di ko talaga nagets to. :)

commutting has been a way of life since i was in 7th grade. back then, my mom couldn't bring me to school on a saturday so i persuaded her to let me take the public transpo, reassurring and at the same time convincing her that i knew how to do it. :) (well, i didn't, but i survived, thank God)
every trip is an adventure. for me, jeepneys are more enjoyable than FXs, while trains are more exciting than buses.
most of the time, people who ride with friends on long jeepney rides lose track of their vocal levels and practically scream their telenovela life stories for everyone to hear. one such conversation is as follows:
woman 1: ...hay nako! e ang lumalabas pa e parang pinapapili ko siya. e hello, hindi naman! wala nga akong pinapahiwatig na ganun, e syempre yung babaeng yun ganun ang iniisip.
woman 2: o, e anong sabi mo?
woman 1: wala! as if naman! nagresign na nga lang ako para umiwas sa problema. ayoko ng ganun, yung may intri-intriga. syempre naman kasi magka opisina pa kami nung babaeng yun.
woman 2: ah...e yung lalaki, anong ginawa?
woman 1: wala, e d ganun pa rin. dun siya sa original niya, dun sa babaeng yun tuwing kailangan siya dun, pero sa kin yun umuuwi.
o, grabehan diba? telenovela talaga.
