INC event tomorrow, NLEX traffic expected to be heavy.

Am wondering why there's so little advanced notice with these things. Parang late Friday na nagkaron ng balita about this

If it's an air-conditioned bus? Take a long nap. Or, bring a pocket TV with you.

The last time the wife and I both made the trip to the PH together, we had to make repeated trips from QC to the US Embassy and other parts of Manila. We always managed to find an air-conditioned bus with room for us to sit together. One of us dozed off while the other watched TV or admired the scenery.

I don't stress out that much when I'm a commuter/passenger.

For those who drive, I can imagine it's a different story altogether. Road rage isn't far from the surface.

Edit:

I never tire of watching daily life go on on the streets of Metro Manila, even when I lived there. I was always in deep thought about something I saw....and there's always something to see. I can only do that as a commuter, though.

Dunno if i'm getting old, or if traffic really has gotten worse...14 years ago i was still ok with...lately naiinip na ako, especially in a packed bus.

I kinda promised myself, kung maghahanap ako ng ibang trabaho, i'd find one closer to home. Dunno if there are many options though.

It is worse. I used to work in Ortigas a decade ago and I had no issues in my daily drive. Now I dread going to Ortigas and will not consider working there again. There are just too many cars now.

Pretty soon companies will need to put up dorms for their workers [emoji14]
