HB in Kapitolyo Pasig

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

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.

It was 12 June. Independence Day. After an all-morning badminton games, we headed to Persiana, an Indian restaurant along the busy Street of Pioneer, Mandaluyong. We slumped on this long table which comfortably sits 8 famished addicts (holiday na nga, pumasok pa sa opisina para maglaro ng badminton). Cler suggested the resto so we asked her for recommendations. Order here, order there. You can imagine the buzzing of the table - 7 hot ladies and a lone hunk! Talking all at the same time - hecklin', shoutin', laughin', and bitchin'! And we were all bondats!

Since we stuffed ourselves, you might think we calmed down after that. Nah ah! Everyone was hyper - every conversation was carried out in high pitch tone, full of angst! Until one of us hot blooded chick got carried away with her kwento that another chick had to check her pulse on the neck, uttering, "High blood ka ba???!!!" Everyone had a good laugh at that scene and since then "high blood ka ba?" or HB for short has been used in every opportunity. Like, EVERY opportunity. You think it ended here? Nope. In the spirit of spontaneity, one chick suddenly suggestted that we go for coffee and dessert at.......... Tagaytay City! And off we went to Tagaytay (minus the lovely couple C&M). The roadtrip was non-stop hecklin' shoutin' laughin' and bitchin' plus getting lost in Highway 41 (it refers to Exit 41 but for some reason, we call it Highway 41). Caveat: Don't you dare get lost on a road trip. You will never hear the end of it. Never.

There you go - the intro on how the blog name came to be. How about the highlights of the day? It's worth posting, too!

K had a chocolate bar as palaman for her tinapay. Seriously. Kailangan inuulit ang salita ng dalawang beses.
Kailangan inuulit ang salita ng dalawang beses.
M was entirely glued on her PDA the whole time. Anti-Social of the Year.
The birth of Row 1, Row 2 and Row 3
Coffee and dessert at Starbucks, Tagaytay - overlooking Taal Volcano
The famous air-conditioner of the spaceship - dalawang tao lang nakinabang sa aircon pero anim ang pasahero
No sleeping during the entire trip - back and forth
And the most important lesson we learned at the end of the day: if you have a car, ensure that the car stereo is working. You don't want to get stuck in traffic with chicks with iPods.
