Galing ako megamall, the bus bay full of commuters. No bus in sight. Nasa kalsada nanaman na mga tao.

May mga tao pa sa office. Lahat umiiwas sa traffic. I think I will leave after midnight. Kanina was one of the worst traffic situations I encountered.
Several friends of mine are posting pics in Baguio on instgram. I love my smart friends lol.
EDIT: I choose to not jump into this pool of madness. Stressing over APEC won't do any good to myself or to anyone.

My theory is that they did consider Subic as a possible venue, but decided against it -- cost , logistics, and of course the political backlash over spending billions on facilities that will be used just once every 10 years, etc. They decided to use MM and just bite the bullet -- or rather, let the public bite the bullet. Like i said, it doesn't take a genius to know what closing a major road will do to the already worsening traffic. During Christmas season.
i get that the APEC *may* be good for us in the long run, and we want to make a good impression...my issue is that they should have made the whole week a nonworking week. If nobody needs to go to work, nobody would be stuck in the streets. Even if some people need to go to work, the volume would be exceedingly less. Instead they came out with a half-baked decision. Like mam Cath said, some people can't afford to file leave -- had they declared the week nonworking, wala nang pag uusapan pa.

I normally don't complain about traffiic but this is one of the worst traffic experiences in my life. It's almost 11 and I still hear colleagues being problematic about how and what time to go home. It was also hard driving kanina bec most cars are driving aggressively na (gitgitan). I don't blame them though.
