What pisses me off early in the morning?

A jeepney driver who smokes early in the morning considering they have a sign board that says

“NO SMOKING”.

I have encountered them several times already and it’s note only me who notices it. I can see other passengers covering their noses and waving the smoke away from them. They would point on the sign board then whisper with their companion.

Commuting alone, early in the morning, cleanly dressed and newly perfumed I was only left to move away from the driver and cover my nose.

I am not against with SMOKING because I know a lot how does but please…

BE CONSIDERATE…

Spare the jeepney ride!

Are you familiar with “123”?

If not, well, you landed on the right site…

1,2,3 is a term used when you skipped on paying any public utility vehicle. Frequent victims of these are the jeepney drivers— at least for me… (Yes, sad but true…)

For two days now I have been on a jeepney with those kinds of people. How do I know it? Oh well… Its as simple as pretending that you rode on the wrong jeep, you got off then poof!!!

YOUR FARE IS AS GOOD AS FREE… or IS FREE— I may say.

“Para, Mali pala ako ng nasakyan…” one man said.

“Monumento ba ito? Ay! Para na!” another man said.

What a STYLE!!!

Then the driver would just scratch his head, grab the wheel tighter, look at the mirror and then say…

“Nakalibre ka lang eh!!!”

Just like that…

AN INSTANT FREE RIDE!

People nowadays… tsk. tsk. tsk.

God knows HUDAS not pay!!!

Kanina, habang ako ay nakasakay sa pampasaherong dyip at binabaybay ko ang aking byaheng pauwi, may isang musmos na batang sumakay sa dyip at nagpunas ng mga maduduming sapatos (o tsinelas) ng mga pasaherong nananahimik (o natutulog) at nakatingin sa kawalan. Bigla na lamang nagugulat ang mga pasaherong dinadaplisan ng kamay niyang hawak ang isang madumi at maliit na basahan. Ngunit, isang bagay na nakapagpapukaw sa aking atensyon ay ang pamilyar na mukha niyang taglay. Siya rin pala ang batang madalas na umaangkas sa bawat dyip na aking nasasakyan sa araw-araw na aking pagpasok at pag-uwi sa eskwela.

Laking pasasalamat ko at hindi niya inaabot ang aking puting sapatos (bagkus ito lamang ay kanyang marurumihan dahil sa ilang sapatos na ang nadaanan ng kanyang nag-iisang basahan) ngunit kanina ay sinawimpalad ang aking sapatos (pasalamat na lamang ako at hindi ako nakaputing uniporme). Hindi lamang niya naistorbo ang aking katahimikan at pagmumuni-muni sa byahe kundi nagdulot pa siya ng isang malaking pagkainis.
