Oi Oi Oi

I'm used to commuting all my life, that riding a dirty bus that reeked of piss and cockroaches have become too ordinary for me. I'm used to it like rains falling from the sky. But yesterday's bus was something out of the "ordinary".

First, there's a fresh (i mean fresh out of someone's mouth) vomit in the second to the last row, no wonder the conductor told me that seats are available at the back. I'd give a million pesos to whomever who'll sit there.

I took a sit at the backend of the bus, where the engines are located, might as well been sitting on top of an oven because of the heat. But no choice, i'm tired of standing up.

Then a few small "baby" cockroaches decided to play at the window glass, unmindful of the passengers, these little bastards probably know that they were in a bus not in some room of some house in the suburbs.

Little cockroaches are probably thinking "cmon lets play, no one will spray baygon on us"

The smell inside the bus is a mixture of piss, vomit, shit and all other types of foul smell. The only entertainment i had was seeing other passengers cover their noses. One passenger told his friend to get off, but his friend told him back "sayang nakabayad na tayo".

I tried to sleep it off, but the bumpy ride and the accelerating and stopping of the bus wont let me.

But hey, that's part of a life of a commuter. I'd rather take public transportation than waste money on unleaded fuel driving a car, that will suddenly betray you and end up with an engine problem in the middle of Edsa (happened to me once, an overheat engine near Edsa White Plains)

But I'm excited because the bus that we will be riding to Naga City tonight offers "Lazy Boy" seats, so the expected 10 hour ride will be a sleepfest for me.

Caramoan Island, here we go...I'm enjoying this summer, taking advantage of my weekend off from work.

I'll be going with a few former officemates from Askmenow.com and three friends from multiply.
