Surviving Edsa
Freakin filipinos..
really freakin bad on manila streets..
first up, the traffic.. it’s a livin hell!
I just got off from a cab on my way here to work here at Quezon Avenue and while I was on the elevator on my way here to my station , I am so urged and willing to make a blog to pay hommage to the sickening and gruelling streets , outskirts and eskinitas that makes EDSA a dangerous place to drive and live at the same time.
One thing, those people who are riding the motorcycle, damn they are so brave.. like they have someone behind them without helmets and all… and they make their motor run for about as fast as Knight Rider run his baby.. damn!
..and overtake our cab and worst is to overtake a bus.. where the hell in the world you can witness that.. well not unless you are watchin like a robbery chase with the police or somethin somewhere on the streets of Manhattan .. but hell.. it’s an ordinary day to day event here.. where else.. at EDSA.. the longest highway in the Philippines.
Oh and by the way I have to mention I have an officemate that named EDSAlyn… hahaha ’cause she was like.. born on the day of the revolt.
..and I just realized what if she was like born say.. Halloween.. maybe she’ll named…pumpkin or Witchey? ahaha
moving on..
and also that manong driver of the cab I rode, damn.. his cab stinks..
on that note would it be proper to ask the manong cab driver first of
“Manong paamoy muna ng loob?”
A motorcycle and an SUV
- I would never ever! ride a motorcycle ever again..
It was first quarter last year when we had our High School reunion held in an apartelle somewhere in Taft, after the almost endless sharing of stories and updates , we decided to meet up one of our batchmates who happens to work as a stand-up commediane/singer in one of the bars in Metrowalk in Ortigas..
and guess what, we will pass the crazy highway of EDSA, riding my former classmates’ motorcycle, and yes.. without the helmet..
like can I say no?!
That time it was my first time to ride a motorcycle, wonder why it’s my first time..
geesh it’s a no brainer! itz dangerous that’s it..
well then again that thing to be cool and all.. I hate it.. and I was lured to ride that freakin motorcycle.
I’m just scared, my nails marked literally on Kenny’s chest as I hold on my dear life…
It’s the scariest 1 hour ever.
.. about the SUV thing.. It’s a life defining moment for me.
love your life and your family people.. It is short and all.
