My Holiday Rant

While everyone is enjoying their beach trips and long weekend rest, here I am, bored and wanting to put the clock on fast forward. Just knowing that most people are on “lazy day” today made me more envious, imagining a supposedly one lovely day with my little girl.

It was nice traveling this morning though. I usually ask the cab driver to take the White Plains - Ortigas route when going to work but I decided to try EDSA this time. The holidays didn’t spare me though on those crazy, arrogant bus drivers! I’ll name it: Dimple Star bus. He was rushing another cab driver to make a left turn just so he could get more passengers. Note: he was as if threatening to bump his trunk and if I’ve clearly seen it, there’s someone in the backseat! Our government should really impose strict traffic rules and higher amount of penalties. We can’t just let reckless driving take away lives, more importantly our loved ones.

I remember a young lady last Saturday while I was in Healthway Shangrila. She could hardly walk because of those full-length metal brace on her right leg. The stitches were still visible and the wounds are deep. It seemed like the accident was just days ago. Too bad no one accompanied her for her follow up check. I can’t stand looking at her condition which leads me back to my trauma on bus drivers. Honestly, I really wish buses will be eliminated from our main roads. I’ve never seen any bus here in Manila who cares much on their passenger’s safety. Sad but true. A room for error doesn’t apply here.

So what’s my point then? I put the blame on these holidays which triggered back my trauma. I should be cuddling my baby for 4 days and should’ve had more time for some girly pampering. Ha ha!

I’ll trade double pay, I swear! :)
