An exhausting way to end the day...

     Last night was one hell of a night. I still can't believe what we went through just to get home. It was damn exhausting!

     We left the office at 5, when we got to UN Avenue, we came upon flooded streets along Taft Avenue, and of course when theres flood in Manila expect traffic my dear. Short heavy rain, flood, immobilized traffic...it's a given already. But it was not just the ordinary traffic, it was extreme traffic. Public transport was literally at its worst that time, bumper to bumper, and "walang galawan" just what everybody clamors. Number of commuters started to build up, "lakad mode" na ang lahat just to find a ride home. With my officemate, me and son walked from UN Avenue to Quirino Avenue hoping na makasakay, but sadly and frustrated as we were, still we weren't able to. It's raining, my feet is soaked and wet already, my back is in pain, and the worst thing and really broke my heart is the fact that my little man is complaining from exhaustion, he was deeply irritated and weary. 

     Finally at Quirino Avenue, while waiting less patiently, the only jeepney to cubao came along kaya sumakay na kami even if it's out of our way. We just wanted to get the hell out of Taft Avenue that very moment, plus the fact that our feet was aching bad from a long walk that we just badly needed to have a sit. Huge volume of vehicles and commuters as well we're stranded along Taft Avenue, some patiently waiting and the others were obviously frustrated and irritated with the situation. Vehicles were still paralized, parang pagong kung umusad. The jeepney dropped us at Welcome Rotonda and the same scene awaits us. All bus, fx, taxi, and Jeepneys were full, commuters were on the streets already. It was almost 11 when we spotted a bust going to sm fairview, and it was 12 midnight that we were able to get home, finally.
