Well.. Ok..

Left for work at around 5:00 a.m.

So today, i ventured into commuting to work for the first time. And frankly, this first timer ain't happy. I rode a Skyway bus that was headed for Makati in the Metropolis station at around 5:20 in the morning since, according to my Mother whom i love so much.. if i rode that bus, it would stop in a bus stop adjacent to my workplace.. Well that's according to her.. But according to the Metro Manila Development Authority or MMDA, that bus stop causes traffic, so to make the long story short.. They took that bus stop out and moved it somewhere farther. I went past that bus stop, walked back a few kilometers.. then headed for Ayala Avenue and rode a jeep where i thought they'd be turning right to Makati Avenue, And then went down the Ayala Strip to wait for non existent jeeps that pass through Makati Avenue for a good 20 minutes, and when i finally realized that there wasn't any jeeps passing that way, i just lit a stick and started walking the 3 kilometer stretch to my office.. Hay, i should have taken the car..

Got to the office at around 6:50 a.m.

The Bus Ride..

Before actually getting all stressed up in Makati, the bus ride from the terminal to the Central Business District was kind of nostalgic and somewhat nice. I remembered how it was getting up before the roosters started crowing for a 7am class to school and rushing to the station to get the first bus to Manila.. I still remember it, the Juaymah-Maureen bus with it's green and white stripes a logo of a weird elephant that's dancing. I still remember before, that when that bus hits the Skyway, i look at the lovely sunrise that's hitting the CBD of Makati and I start wondering.. "when" and after the toll, the bus goes past the first, second and third exits and heads straight for Manila and then Boom.. back to reality..

This morning i got the same feeling back but instead of a "when" it was a "now" with a nod. And instead of missing the exits, i went through the first one and it headed smack dab on the side of the CBD where the stress started. Actually, in a way it feels good, knowing that i already head there instead of heading for the last exit to Manila. Knowing that i'm already living that daydream of actually working in Makati. Eventhough i'm still kinda hoping that i'd be heading there in different circumstances, i'm already there nontheless.. so whatever.. i guess, i'll just make the best out of it.. or until i still can..

Anyway.. Tomorrow's another day..

PS.. Hey Bea.. i don't know why, but other than reminicing, i was really thinking about you the whole trip to work.. I dunno.. maybe i miss you.. or maybe I REALLY miss you.. or maybe we should talk reaally soon.. so here.. i got this off the "a softer world website" since it reminded me of..
