DSWD discourages motorists from giving alms to street kids.

Easier said than done when they’re guilt tripping and threatening to bug you and/or your car. :(

Something cooking up in Iran.

There’s always something going on in the Middle East. I’m personally rather jaded already.

Low prices were good while they lasted. :(

This is my dear friend Leonel. We see each other at least a couple of times every week. A lot more often than I’d wish.

This kind of friend I could more than afford not to see around often.

You know what cars need? Megaphones, not horns.

They say that when you're a pedestrian, you hate drivers but when you're driving, you hate pedestrians.

It depends really. When you think about it, maybe it’s the people around you themselves with the problem.

Both can be assholes at the same time you know.

Every single day that I drive to work or wherever I encounter horrible pedestrians who don’t give a fuck even if the cars crossing their path are supposed to go.

Sometimes when I walk, I also encounter stupid cars who don’t follow the rules and get away with it. I also notice this a lot when I drive.

It sucks how there are so many rebels in the urban jungle that efficiency is wasted on their stupidity.

If the rules work, follow them.

Although, there’s one other problem. The system itself is probably retarded.

Common sense guys. Please.

Metro Manila is going for a swim today.

Floods everywhere. Parts of EDSA ain’t passable.

And I live in the middle of easily flooded areas. (oshiiiiiiiite)

For updates on the whole Metro Manila is Screwed issue, here’s a link to MMDA’s Twitter.

Y U STOP?

Eh? What is this?!

Oh a procession!

~_~

Last night I was driving home when I noticed our lane was being stopped. Then I noticed some fireworks coming from the end of the street. I was like, what kind of idiot shoots fireworks in a place like this?

Apparently, there was a procession that night. I ended up turning off the engine and taking a few pictures from my car while the line wasn’t done yet. Suddenly we were allowed to pass so I turned on my car engine and moved ASAP.

Obviously the car behind me was pissed as hell because he was honking like crazy and even high beamed me the rest of the way. lol

f'yeah rollback!!

Squeegee kids along V. Mapa corner Aurora blvd.

I tread this route with care; either I leave a generous amount of non-overtakeable space in front of me or I follow to the jeepneys to the rightmost lane to avoid confrontation.
