earthdate 042508: Driving talk
- Been waiting for the summer holidays of DLSU so I can enjoy the shorter route of Taft -Vito Cruz (P. Ocampo) going home. Finally, when I learned said university, as well as SSC, no longer have regular classes, I didn’t waste any more gas with my either
Harrison
Plaza
or
Quirino Avenue
routes. Just my luck, puro new Maynilad diggings yung area that Vito Cruz (P. Ocampo) was closed down. AAAArrrrrg! To think, the areas surrounding our office, RobPlace Manila, and Julia’s neighborhood still got unfinished Maynilad diggings — done na pipe laying yet, the streets weren’t cemented/asphalted the way they were before. Tuloy, with the sudden rains, sobrang maputik these areas. Hay…in a way, I kinda miss the previous Mayor of Manila. At least, he was bent on beautifying and improving these areas before (although medyo weird nga lang the designs and color scheme ng sidewalk in front of our building). Chopchop, DPWH and Maynilad, please!
- Although summer na and dapat nabawasan na ang morning/afternoon rush with students, I noticed that
Roxas Boulevardand
Quirino Avenue
have an even heavier volume of traffic than during the academic months. What gives?! Ah, yeah, the diggings! Arg!
- Just wondering, the huge billboard sa EDSA (pero I noticed yesterday na tinanggal na rin) ng Sunsilk featured Marian Rivera, Majah Salvador, and Heart Evangelista; however, sa T.V. commercial, it was the first two and Nikki Gil. What happened with the Ms. Evangelista?
- More than P40 for diesel and P48 for unleaded?! Damn!
