Traffic.

It’s actually midnight but I’m still awake which is weird since I usually get sleepy at 4.30 in the afternoon. Seriously. You just get freakishly tired at the end of the day that you would just want to relax and chill and forget about everything. But tonight’s an exception. Yay! Maybe someone’s thinking of me! Ha ha. I wish.

Anyway, I had the urge to write because I just felt like condemning the traffic rules in the Philippines. Of all the horrible reasons why you would easily get hot-headed in the country, traffic is definitely the most LOATHE-able. I mean it. From my heart. Ha ha. The traffic in Manila, or anywhere else in the country will forever be a mystery to its people. Why the heck can’t Filipinos solve this bizarre crisis? Simple. Filipinos got no discipline.

You see, in the States, the distance from our house to dad’s work is like Sta.Rosa to Sucat. But, he can reach work by 30 minutes, or even less. Wow. That’s smooth. I know because there is no traffic in the States. Yeah, they have delays but not the sluggish type you’d experience in Paranaque or in EDSA where you could’ve done something productive inside the car had you brought something to work on. Agree?

And the other thing is when people try to play patintero with the cars along C5! I just wish the MMDA could raise the fines of jaywalking to like half a million peso just so an overpass can at least have a value. People can be so lazy, which makes them so infuriating.

No Swerving signs are of no use in SLEX. Traffic lights can be hassle to someone who’s running late. Screeching beeps so deafening. Stopping was never an option. Since no one seems to be in check then everyone can bend the rules. Boo. Kaya wala nang sumunod.

If we could just be disciplined, at least neither of us would be so hot-tempered when driving.

Now I wish I could drive.

But I guess the wish for a car should come first.

Ha ha.

See you on the road when I reach my legal age. ;p
