The intersection of East and West Capitol drive in Kapitolyo Pasig is always busy specially in the morning. I always use the pedestrian lane when crossing the streets … Anyway, this is my second experience where a driver didn’t slow down when they passed the pedestrian lanes. The first one, I let it go because it was raining and he was making a turn, therefore, didn’t see me. But the second one – my goodness! – the lady driver already saw me crossing the street two or three meters away! She was driving a bit fast but hesitated when she saw me but to my surprise she continued with her speed as she was getting near me… did she want me to make a run so she won’t need to slow down?!?!... my gosh!!! the nerve!... she only stopped when she was about to hit me, I stared at her and told her in a loud voice (which I hoped she heard inspite of her closed windows) “THIS IS A PEDESTRIAN LANE (pointing at to those white lines), YOU SHOULD SLOW DOWN!!!” … and then I walked on… I saw her shocked face though… but I was still fuming… and remembered my trip to Colombo where even the tuktuk drivers slow down on pedestrian lanes… I felt sad thinking of my beloved country with such unethical drivers! Then again, it made me reflect: am I one of them?
O yan, Mawee, as promised… I made a blog na… hehehe…

i can identify with you. i used to have this thing about walking in malls and people just walking without minding other people. i once looked this guy in the eye and told him to "keep right." basic rule of the road diba? :) or sometimes i run into them on purpose making sure they get hit by my elbos hihihi
elbos? hahaha
anyway, i get HB also pag pataas yung kalsada and i'm driving and always ang may right of way ay yung pataas. Eh minsan merong driver na kasalubong ko hindi ba naman ako pinagbigyan. DUHHHH!!! tinitigan pa ako na parang ako ang may mali. SHEEEEEEET SYA!!! UMAGANG UMAGA!!! HB! HB!! hahaha
Walang halaga ang buhay sa atin. Kung meron man - katiting lang. Diba nga, kapag nakasaga ang bus eh mas minabuti pang patay na yung nasagasaan dahil mas mura ang magpalibing vs. hospital bills + damages pa? Nakakalungkot talaga.
shush!! baka tulog ka pa habang naglalakad dahil napadami inom kagabi waaahhh huwag ma-HB!!
hindi ah... i was wide awake... was even in a good mood... kaya lalu akong na-inis dahil sinira nya araw ko... hmp!
aminin mo na capers! hehehe
hmmm... i just realized that 3 meters is too short... i think she was 5 to 7 meters away... ay! parang ako na si JB... changing the subject... hahaha...
