Oddly Out of Place


Things really present themselves when you least expect it.

I always take the bus from Baclaran to Ayala via Gil Puyat Ave aka Buendia whenever I go to work. It so happened that this particular day, I cannot remember when, traffic was moderately slow. Just as the bus was passing Edison St. along Buendia,  I looked outside of my window and noticed something on the sidewalk. I can't believe what I was seeing: a toilet bowl. I didn't know how long it has been there; I haven't seen it in that place before. I found it amusing that anyone would think of putting a toilet bowl outside in the streets. Someone else noticed it as well, I think, because days after that, I didn't see the toilet bowl there anymore. Probably they thought urinating in public wasn't nice at all.

No Ticket, No Pay

Hi! Welcome to the rantings of a metro commuter. Here I will be posting my thoughts about travel, commuting, places, and observations as I course through my daily commute.

I like to use Google Maps looking for places I have been to and those I've never been to. It's my handy guide to where I would like to go, what transit to use, what best route to take whenever I need to go somewhere. My dream? An android phone with GPS, Google Maps on browser, and I go anywhere I want. (Time and budget permitting of course.)

So ready your fare, be sure of your destination, and be careful stepping out on the road.
