Spent my Sunday driving around with my lady. Manila, San Juan, Batangas and Liliw, Laguna.

Woke up at 730am, went to Sunday service at 930, had Starving Porterhouse steak at Tender Bob's in GH with my girl (we shared the steak), bought new in-ear headsets for my phone, lady went to buy some stuff. Went to drive South. Got into SLEX via C5 at 4pm, arrived in Batangas at 4:50. Traffic was light.

Driving was pretty okay aside from some lame people who doesn't like being overtaken but runs slower than a baby turtle in the passing lane. If only people would follow the slow and fast lane, travelling via our expressway would really redefine the word "express" and less people would do snake driving. I hate people who waste my time. Aside from the flashing, you need to honk for them to really know what you mean by flashing. Some idiots choose to take the shoulder. These people should be shot. I don't take the shoulder even if there's opportunity to do so simply because it's wrong and dangerous to other motorists.

Of course, there will be drivers who will get insecure at you and will try to race you and will fail shortly because their machines aren't up to the task.

I think, SLEX and NLEX should employ sweepers. Enforcers with fast cars and PA system sweeping the lanes to separate the slow and fast moving vehicles. It's a waste of fuel running at cruising speed (mine is 120) then suddenly needing to slow down to a dead speed of 60 just because a couple of clowns choose to drive in sync occupying both lanes.

Got irritated when i got into Evangelista Street in near Pasay. Everyone was counterflowing, an Expedition tried to muscle his way into my lane (which he failed to do so because i held down my lane). A motorcycle almost crashed into me because he counterflowed into my lane while i was climbing what seems to be a bridge. Good thing i turned on my high beams. He was just a foot away into his death. He froze for a moment - and me too. I forgot to blow the horns to his face. He probably got his license illegally for sure.

Man, driving here is a real challenge because there are so many stupid people on the road.

Arrived home around 11pm. Slept.
