Tanginang Morning

Tanginang morning talaga I swear. I can't believe pa rin what happened kanina. Sobrang hell talaga. If you could only imagine lang my cute face kanina, sobrang galit na.

Anyway, so yun nga diba, my morning was like hell kanina, let me tell you the whole story. After typing my latest reviews kanina here sa multiply, I left home na to go to school. So I was two and a half hours early knina when I left kaya I was expecting na makakarating ako ng school an hour before my first class. Pero noooooooohhh. A series of tanginang unfortunate events was thrown upon me na ang only pagitan lang between the events were like, minutes lang talaga.

So yun na nga diba, I left home early tapos sumakay me ng tricycle only to find out na traffic na sa loob pa lang ng subdivision. Pero that time ok lang kasi I was thinking na I still have an hour to spare so what diba kung ma-late ng konti eh I'm like an hour early pa kaya.

So after nung not-your-average-everyday-tricycle-travel-time trip, I was on the highway na to find myself an FX. To hell talaga with the effin' local government kasi until now, ginagawa pa rin the damn roads and it was like taking forever na, not to mention the traffic that the palpak project causes and the putik that it generates. It was sobrang kadiri talaga when I was waiting for an FX eh I was wearing pa naman something black for a foot wear, eh mud looks gross kaya on dark colored shoes.

So anyway, I finally found an FX going to MRT right? So I thought i could relax na pero when I looked at the time I was 30 minutes advance na lang before my first class. My class kasi was 1030 and it was 9am na on my watch. It was ok lang for me kasi I won't be late pa naman, I just want to be early sa school para I could do something pa before going to class.

Come MRT station, people inside the FX were going like tsk tsk tsk and I was like why? When I left the FX, "OH MY GAWD". The MRT Station sa North Avenue was like puno ng tao. Public commuters were everywhere at yung pila was so long na even the entire kahabaan of EDSA was used as pilahan. As in ang haba talaga ng line and so I thought, "No way", it will take me forever kaya to ride the train kung ganun kahaba ang pila. Not to mention na I'm gonna make siksikan pa with a crowd na I don't know kung saan nanggaling plus the baho and init of the atmosphere because of the pawis these people generate. Kasi naman the MRT Station at North Avenue, sobrang liit, eh they know naman na people are gonna be flocking to that side of the station kasi it's the start of the line and maraming people from the northern part of Metro Manila are taking MRT to go to work. Tapos the security gurads pa are anak ng pagong sa kabagalan when checking passenger items. Dapat kasi the MRT officials invest na in Xray scanners like the ones they use in airports para mas mabilis ang checking and mas mabilis makapasok sa station kasi when you look at the platform, it was so empty kay, people are crowded lang along the stairs and elevators kasi they had to make pila pa because of the security crap.

Eto pa, I don't know kung bakit there are stupid people in the world, I mean, these people take the MRT everyday eh why pa do they have to fall in line and buy a ticket every time when they could just buy the stored value? Don't they know ba na it's cheaper compared to buying tickets everyday? Dagdag lang sila sa crowd that causes traffic sa MRT.

I don't talk like this pero since I was so pissed off kanina, I adopted na lang cofibean's style of writing para everyone knows how much I'm upset. So yun na nga diba, ang daming tao sa MRT so I took the bus na lang to Cubao para I could ride LRT Line 2 instead, kasi MRT kanina was hopeless. It was 9:30 when I rode the bus, I was still thinking na I'm gonna make it on time for my first class despit the fact na ubos na lahat ng reserve minutes ko. Pero hello, pagdating ng bus at Quezon Avenue, movement existed only along the sidewalks. SOOOOOOBRAng traffic as in. So I waited na lang a little kasi I was thinking na maybe the traffic will pass. Pero no. Naisip ko tuloy, sana sa Monumento na lang ako pumunta. It was such a wrong decision to go to Cubao. It was so traffic pero I can't go down kasi pedestrian lanes or the Eyesore Pink MMDA Overpass' were nowhere to be found. Tangina kasi the MRT eh, why pa kasi is it not built underground para people can cross pa rin EDSA when traffic, eh now look, you want to cross pero you can't kasi nakaharang the MRT line.

So yun, pagdating ng GMA station, I was all, "MA PARA!". I can't go this way. I have to go back. I was literally running na talaga to go to GMA-Kamuning station. I thought maybe walang tao dito and I could just take the MRT instead kahit sobrang puno, I'm gonna try my luck na lang and try to make siksik na rin with the crowd. Pero, oh well, as expected, hanggang labas din ang pila. So there it was. I am officially going to be late. I was running my way up the station to make it on the other side and then down again para sumakay ng another bus going to Monumento. Tangina pa the people in the line, they were blocking my way pa, eh I was literally running na nga trying to catch the time tapos they were all relaxed pa not making way for me to go as if not to care na nagmamadali na ako. As if naman I care about them noh? If I was born with no manners, I would have been kicking their asses off para lang umais sila sa daan ko kanina.

Tapos when I was finally riding the bus going to Monumento, the driver pa was stopping at all the bus stops he could find. As if it wasn't enough, they were taking so much time pa waiting for more passengers. Kulang na lang eh they park na the bus sa sidewalk so that they could wait for passengers all day. Kupal talaga the buses going to UE Letre Monumento.

1030. Ok so I'm late, but I'm not at school yet. Pababa pa lang ako ng bus and this time, I couldn't run anymore kasi aside from being really tired, I was kind of hopeless na rin to make it in time, I mean hellooooo, I was late na rin naman. It's not as if I could do anything about it, so why pa do I have to exhaust all my remaining energy running to the LRT station when I could just relax and think of a good alibi for my professor.

10:40. Finally nakasakay na ako ng LRT.

11:10. I went to class. It was such a long walk from Vito Cruz station to Andrew and then ninth floor. Next time na I have class at Andrew and I'm on a serious time pressure, I'll go down na lang at Quirino station. I just noticed earlier na its nearer Andrew than Vito Cruz.

So there. That was my morning. Sobrang detailed ba? Naiisip ko na kasi lahat ng gusto ko sabihin kanina when I was on the bus.
