NP mate. OB <shudder>

Eniwey trafik uli kanina mga 8:30 going to the Buendia flyover. Cars were backed up all the way to The Mind Museum waiting to turn left to Makati. Cleared up around 9. Daily routine na ata 'to.

You should try Katipunan or Ortigas kung pasukan or uwian na Pero dagdag pa daw IS ngayon dahil pasukan na sa kanila. CMIIW pero sinusunod ata nila ang start ng classes sa US.

Man, BGC should really work on fixing that Makati/EDSA bound traffic issue pronto. This won't get any better and i'm sure when the 'ber months come in, paktay na yan lalo. I love taking pa naman my kids to walk around High Street during the cold months.

OT: Thankfully Katipunan is slightly better this year as compared to last year with the minor changes they did to the island and with the simple act of placing more barriers at the U-turn slot to prevent u-turn cars from taking up the whole road.

Yeah... I think they should make an additional bypass road along Manila Golf or 38th street.. Sobrang congested na tlaga mckinley road and buendia flyover.. They should also add concrete barriers for the flyover approach.. ang dami kasi sumisiksik eh...

Good luck touching that golf course. And MWSS is up to its old tricks again digging up a lane of McKinley, Polo Club side.

Good Heavens! ..... The Forbes Park Don's and Dona's will not approve of that!

Actually it's quite baffling on how to get another road made going to EDSA/Makati short of building a tunnel.

The flyover from 32nd Street to Buendia was supposed to help but the traffic at Buendia - Paseo de Roxas just pretty much stops everything.

Ghost month kse ngaun. people are literally up on nerves that's why they'd rather get out of the house and addict sa pleasurable things even if it's just the comforts of the car.

Hindi nyo na ba pansin, ghosts are playing tricks on you kaya lagi pag-August everything that is planned goes out of control. Worst, they try to enter your body and wreak havoc sa nervous system, so always pray Angel of God.

Mas mahirap pa nga sa public place eh, kse host ghosts hitch a ride with their hosts. Tapos makikita kang ibang ghosts na yun and they try to possess you or something. Pag ang blood pressure suddenly bigla nag rapid breathing lalo na sa public places even in bumper to bumper traffic, nag-TI trip yan mga yan.

Plus the two stoplights under the flyover for those going under. After the 2nd stoplight, its usually smooth sailing to Ayala.

hmmmm... makes sense ah... saan ba nang galing ang ghost month na yan?

It is an old chinese belief.

it's a chinese tradition

The seventh lunar month in the traditional Chinese calendar is called Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, the Gates of Hell are sprung open to allow ghosts and spirits access to the world of the living. The spirits spend the month visiting their families, feasting and and looking for victims.

There are three important days during Ghost Month. On the first day of the month, ancestors are honored with offerings of food, incense, and ghost money - paper money which is burned so the spirits can use it. These offerings are done at makeshift altars set up on sidewalks outside the house.

Almost as important as honoring your ancestors, offerings to ghosts without families must be made, so that they will not cause you any harm. Ghost month is the most dangerous time of the year, and malevolent spirits are on the look out to capture souls.

The Inauspicious Month

This makes ghost month a bad time to do activities such as evening strolls, traveling, moving house, or starting a new business. Many people avoid swimming during ghost month, since there are many spirits in the water which can try to drown you.

The 15th day of the month is Ghost Festival, sometimes called Hungry Ghost Festival. The Mandarin name of this festival is zhōng yuán jié (中元節 / 中元节). This is the day when the spirits are in high gear. It’s important to give them a sumptuous feast, to please them and to bring luck to the family. Taoists and Buddhists perform ceremonies on this day to ease the sufferings of the deceased.

The last day of the month is when the Gates of Hell are closed up again. The chants of Taoist priests inform the spirits that it’s time to return, and as they are confined once again to the underworld, they let out an unearthly wail of lament.

Di ko magets kung ano ang kinalaman ng Ghost month sa traffic sa BGC???

[dfopiso]

pano pa kaya kung operational na si SM?

balita ko, pinayagan ng Ayala-led BGC ang SM pero hindi gagamitin ang mall name na SM

[dfopiso]

sa dami ng running events sa BGC, year round na nga yata, baka magkaroon ng odd-even number coding dyan in the future to encourage running/jogging/walking

Dapat naman wag na yung SM na name ang gamin sa BGC, ang BGC hi-end ang SM pang masa. Di bagay sa Fort ang SM. Most likely ang mangyayari diyan eh parang Podium, Kay SM din pero mas hi end.
