Short, Tag and Request
Short:
Yesterday, I was driving home from La Union, when I chanced upon this street that had heavy traffic. A traffic aide was trying to direct the flow, allowing one lane to pass first and then the other.
The situation was on a standstill and I was patiently waiting for our lane’s turn to move. This red car on my left side was eager to move. But the traffic aide was standing in front of him motioning him to stop. He stopped. But slowly inched forward, hitting the traffic aide. The aide, motioned him to stop, but he kept on inching, slowly pushing the aide forward. The aide now motioned his entire body against the hood of the red car. And the car would stop, but then inch forward again. What a jerk! The poor traffic aide just let him through.
With that, I ain’t wondering why this country is not progressing. Most Filipinos think individually, not as a collective. Generally, we don’t really care about this country. We just want to get ahead, no matter what the consequence.
I am extremely ashamed. And depressed. Where is this country headed to?

I found Sixth Sense real scary when I saw it the first time.
But I've recently seen it (twice in one week thanks to HBO) and I now look at it in a different light. I see it as a tragic love story between husband and wife.
Probably because I already know the scary scenes and can anticipate the ghosts popping in and out. Anyway, it's now one of those movies that make me sad.

Poor Traffic Aide... There are alot of jerk drivers out there. A friend often cursed while driving and I really get annoyed if the driver he is cursing is a lady “**** Kaya naman pala babae eh”. Whenever I'm behind the wheel, I often wondered what other drivers think of my driving, a lady driver.
