Third time's the charm? NOT!

For the past couple of days, I've had the unlucky streak of sharing the same cab with person A. Well, honestly, I really don't notice who I ride with except for this super rude "dude" who shall not be named.

The first unfortunate cab ride.
He was sitting beside me and yes, everyone knows that the back of the cab is not meant fo four people so everyone should adjust. Butno, this guy sat with his cab on the seat, with his arm crossed across his chest with his elbow digging into my ribs. He couldn't care less.

The second unfortunate cab ride
I was seated in front - lucky me - he sat at the back. Normally three people can lean on the seat while one had to lean forward. Because of this "dude", two people ended up leaning forward, which never happens.

The third unfortunate cab ride
I was seated in front again - God is with me - but the barker asked the three guys behind me to share the fare since it was impossible to fit another person inside. He grudgingly gave his twenty peso bill and he even wanted me to pay. Lucky for me, the two guys beside him, gave their twenties to the barker.

The fourth unfortunate incident
I was sitting happily at the back while we were all waiting for the last person. Lo and behold, who was the last person? HIM! It took all courage to not get down the cab. Not to mention he was holding a large paper bag. I pity the girl beside me as she was receiving most the the guy's brunt. The girl beside me left, I moved just a little bit, as the guy steppedinside, he threw the paper bag beside me and as he was getting inside the cab, bumped my shoulder hard and was shifting on his seat because he didn't have enough space. The nerve! The paper bag took up all the space.

Waaahhh. Why am I so unlucky. I tried going in 20 minutes earlier and yet he was still there! Four consecutive times = stressful mornings.

The fifth unfortunate incident
I didn't want to sit beside him - I had no choice because I wanted to sit in front. But at least it was more spacious. I decided to bear with him. I think he recognized me.

It also unfortunate that we work in the same building.
One time, after the fourth incident, I mentioned my story to Fab, and guess what? She hates the guy too. Same guy, same attitude! Wah, we had a long bashing afterwards wherein we decided that the next time we see him, we will not take the same cab with him.

On a lighter note, there is one person I would like to see again. He looks like Wooyung. I'd rather have him as a seatmate than RUDE boy-anyday.

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Around Manila: Exploring the streets of J.P. Rizal in Marikina

It is funny how we know the history and culture of a land we do not live in yet know so little about where we live. Thus, began our mission to explore Manila, one city at a time. DESTINATION: Marikina Starting Time: 11am End Time: 5pm How to get to J.P. Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
