jeepney ride

it would take 30 minutes estimate for me riding a jeepney going to the office for work. these for me are precious moments... moment to observe the lives of other people, people like me, mothers whose minds are divided by the baby left at home with yaya and the workload on the desk waiting. By the looks on their faces, I can very well see the worries by their frowns or cheerfulness by their grins and laughter whenever a funny predicament would set in. everyday is a new day for my jeepney ride, familiar and new faces, wet from rain seats or even mosquitoes under the seats, weird and hilarious things can be experienced every ride. Pinoy jud! i love to hear the whispered or sometimes loud conversations on politics, showbiz and all. hahaha! how i love to witness the arguments of drivers or pilots (konduktor bah!) and passengers over an excessive fare or if the drivers would miss to hear the "para" so the passengers would go down murmuring cursing the driver for being deaf. hahaha!
i always remember my brother-in-law, kuya ken. he is japanese and had never been to a jeepney ride all his life. it was his wish to ride one and see how quick pinoy drivers are that they are able to collect fares and drive fast at the same time. "they must be genius", he said. their last visit here was very short until it was too late to schedule for a jeepney ride. hope they are coming again someday soon. i will take a leave from work by then. i am missing my manang neng, maiko and kuya ken.

rain

i would like to believe that i feel happy when it rains but the truth is i feel all sort of emotions when it rains. most of the time, it is a time of reflection. the sound of raindrops make me wanna pee. hehehe! have a beautiful rainy day!

"Mastering the art of living comes from the sure trust in the goodness and the meaning in each of us and a strong faith that we can build our own lives-- it may not come swiftly or smoothly but in this creation lies the greatest triumph of all, the realization of all we wereborn to be." this comes from morning light notes i bought from national bookstore last friday. i love the bookstore. wish to spend my one entire day there to take time to scan those inviting books, admire those pens of different colors and shapes, the cards, the cuties and all. however, i most often visit the place with my baby and kim so that leaves me with no other choice but to always be in a hurry on everything. books are said to be embalmed minds, i can be a mind reader at times and almost good at it but who doesn't want to really read the thoughts of people, people who have things to write about. i love books but finds it difficult to find time for them (for myself for that matter). my friend from work, ate celia was nice enough to let me borrow her latest acquired book, "wear your party pants". last week, i told ate celia that i would return the book without even finishing it, afraid to not return it sooner. she simply said, "just take your time and finish the book". the book is sleeping right next to my pillow for nights now. i plan to buy more books yet i don't have time to read. who can ever grant me more time? time for myself but myself. :)
