MRT Scenes

This is a clip from Bubble Gang's (Gag show shown here in the Philippines) November 23, 2012 episode. For me, this pretty much shows how it is to ride the dreaded MRT - Edsa - which I happen to ride almost everyday. If you do understand Tagalog, you get to understand the jokes which  I now laugh about. 

If you finished watching it, I would like to know which kind of MRT passenger could you relate to? My own answer is the stunt man. Usually I get to the area where all the posts/handrails have been occupied by other riders and I have no choice but to do stunts just to make sure that my face won't be meeting the MRT floor. Nyehehe. 

And yes, even though sometimes it sucks, I guess this is far better than some other countries. I hereby declare - MRT Rides, it's more fun in the Philippines. ^_^

What 5mins late could do to you

And then in some days, this is what you get for being 5mins late - a 500 m line to the MRT platform, well, I am living with it. So, I promise myself to be a bit early by tomorrow, and then if I fail, there's tomorrow's tomorrow.

Normal Day

Normal day. I rode the fx to the North MRT Station, waited for 30 mins to get inside the platform. Figured that I should buy the North-Ayala one way ticket to save my stored value ticket (also, I would like to save time in buying a stored value ticket, the line for the one way ticket was shorter and faster than the other - yeah, hello impatient girl).

So, I was able to ride the next incoming train, as usual, I was standing again in the middle. But was able to get to Ayala Station before 8am. Bought my lunch at KFC, ate my breakfast at Siomai House, went down the station to ride the bus to Bicutan. Good thing, it's also one normal day, there were enough buses (not lucky though, I get to ride the ordinary/non-aircon bus). 

I didn't get to commute on my way home, so I didn't know if it's traffic or not. But I thank God, the week started out right. Our team was able to use the new lab (finally) and we (our team) get to eat together again the same table. 

Yeah, I am starting Normal days again. This day, I think I won. :)

Wednesday Bump

It seems that this wednesday was my lucky day.




This was taken around 755am, North Ave MRT Station. I left the house at around 635am, arrived at MRT Q. Ave Sta at 710am. Fell in line, line not moving, left station at around 730, transferred to North and boom, line was about 1km from point of origin.
Stupid decision but I am impatient when it comes to falling in line. So upon seeing the effing view of people, I wanted to just curse out loud and just give a good punch to some random stranger in the face. But of course, I didn't do that, that's just how angry I was.
The day couldn't be any better, I went home at 530pm, went for the bus thinking that the traffic won't be as horrendous, but I was soooo wrong. It took us 1.5hr to get to Edsa, so I decided to go for the MRT, again.




I got home at around 9pm. And I swore I will never the shirt I wore this day.
