Back to work

October 6th, 2009 Comments off

How long have been away from the office? Nine long days! As you all know, typhoon Ondoy hit Metro Manila and other parts of Luzon. I am from San Mateo Rizal and we were affected too. I have a very long post about this experience but I will just post it later. Well, I hope [...]

Umbrella, umbrella

August 28th, 2009 Comments off

I spent my fifteen minute break looking for the perfect umbrella. Well, it is actually my friend who has fascination with umbrellas. Your guess is right, she was able to buy one. Me? None. I did not find the one for me. I have many umbrellas already. I just want another one that I could [...]

My observations

There are many things that you could do while commuting, especially if it would be a long ride. Well, number one in the list is sleeping. I always see people sleeping while commuting. If there is none then there would always still be one and that is me. Anyways, one hour of extra sleep helps [...]

The man in blue missed his change

July 21st, 2009 Comments off

I really had a feeling that something not good would happen the moment I saw that man in blue even when we were still falling in line waiting for our ride. He was in front of me. Actually, we were riding the previous jeep also from the office to the jeep terminal going to our [...]

Thank you to one of my supervisors who happened to live in the same town as I do. Well, we had the same shift yesterday and she offered to pay for my fare. At first, I was shy but then again, it was a blessing, eh! I just told her that her salary is bigger [...]

All awake with some thoughts

June 30th, 2009 Comments off

I thought of so many things on my way home today. Well, the one hour jeepney ride is really a lot of time. I am excited for my goddaughter’s birthday next week. I thought of making her a short story on how she was conceived or her life inside the womb as I was able [...]

No Monday rush for me today. Well, it is not my rest day but I am back to the afternoon schedule. I would like to be early in the office though. I have some things to fix and to talk to my supervisor. I have to get this thing out of my chest and be [...]

Public Display of Affection

June 15th, 2009 Comments off

Guess who were my co-passengers this time? A couple who looked like newly weds because of their public display of attention. It was early morning of Sunday, around 630AM. They looked like they just came out of the bathroom because their hairs were dripping wet. The husband was caressing his wife with sleepy eyes. Was [...]

Something to come home to

June 1st, 2009 1 comment

The trip last night was very long. The reason? It was raining. Expect heavy traffic whenever it rains. I even rendered overtime and went home at around 630PM. It was not hard to catch a ride though. Maybe because it was a Sunday. No more rush hour to avoid. Upon reaching the jeep terminal, I [...]
