Since I am waiting for my source codes, I am downloading them by the way, I'm gonna post all about what happened to me this sunny Friday morning.

On the way to the office, just like any other ordinary day, I rode the jeepney. I am quite fund on sitting behind the driver because I would like to be able to see the road and that I can easily ask the driver to stop when I reach my destination. To my dismay, the seat behind the driver is a bit short and that you can see the grease on the metal support. So I decided to change my seat, but when I looked up, there was already a cute guy sitting on the spot where I wanted to be seated. Then I was contemplating on seating nearer the jeepney opening, when a group of teenage boys rode the jeep. Basically, I've got no other options left since I am halfway already. Then I started to get uncomfortable when the group of teenagers started cracking jokes, I don't know if sometimes the joke is about me or I'm just being paranoid, but one of them remarked to the other one that the one seated beside me has a good eye and that he can easily spot "things". Teenagers! And I felt that the guy beside me is staring (one of the teenage boys). Since it is a habit of mine to wear my id whenever I am only a few blocks away to my stop, I wore it. To my dismay, I caught him staring at my id and then we were caught in a traffic jam. Not to mention that I am trying to avoid contact with the grease near my seat.

When I know that someone is staring at me, I tend look for a direction on which I could just stare blankly, so I chose to stare at the winshield. To my surprise, the guy beside the driver was using peripheral vision through the mirror upfront and I felt a bit akward. Anyway, I decided to look sideways, and I was in that position for about 10 minutes, and I felt that my neck is getting a bit stiff already because of the traffic situation.

Thankfully, when I reached the office, there wasn't any grease on my pants. And surprise, surprise, I have a new project and the deadline is at the end of my shift! Oh well, that's life for ya.

Still waiting for the codes to be downloaded,

    Hi Fallyn,

    A jeepney is the Filipino version of the american military jeep. Here in the Philippines, a jeepney is one of the most common mode of public transportation here :D Anyway, here is a picture! :)

    Hi Queen. LOL. Probably! :) Anyway, I told my guy officemates and they suggested that I buy a taser gun or a pepper spray because I badly need it. I think they think that I'm an attention grabber LOL.

    Hi Fallyn! :D

    Anyway, here is the post. Its 3 in the morning here in Manila, and I am still at the office. Thankfully it is a Saturday, and I am just waiting for 5 am so that I can go back to my apartment and take a nap before doing errands for my older sister, :) For now, its slack time for me! :)

    dazed, pareho tayo. mahilig din akong umupo sa likod ng drayber. hindi masyado mausok at maalog. Plus, mas madali mangulit ng sukli kung hindi pa ibinibigay. :)

    Hi ella! Yeah, I agree! Ugali ko pa naman na magreklamo sa driver kapag feeling nya sya si Schumacher sa bilis nya na magpatakbo.

    Pag buo ang pera ko, I make sure na sa malapit ako ng driver umuupo para mas mabilis ang sukli at madaling mapansin pag nagbigyan na ng sukli kasi ang tendency pag nasa likod ka eh mahuhuli ka rin sa bigayan ng sukli! :D

    Cheers
