Random Thoughts | Random Things on a Sunny Sunday

It's Christmas
My mom and I just finished setting up the Christmas Tree this morning and we just learned a new technique in making the Christmas Tree looked like the Christmas Trees in the mall using our old decorations and the Christmas Lights are still working...

Talk of the Town

Everywhere I go today, from local tv news to internet news, and even to the streets outside, people are just talking the same topic. Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto's boxing fight where, once again, Pacman make the Filipinos happy and proud. Though I'm not a big fan, all I can say is congratulations... (same tone with wowowee's congratulations girl)

Almost an accident
I was on my way to home from SM when this happened. I was riding a jeepney and i'm seated on left side at the back of the driver's seat. I was listening to the Pacquiao conversation of the driver and the two other passengers at the front when from far away, a boy ,pushing a wooden cart with 5 gallons of water, tried to cross the street and he was almost on the middle of the road. The driver didn't slow down but rather swerved slightly to right and when the vehicle was almost near the boy. the boy pushed the turned the cart back to the right side of the street going to the direction of the jeep. The driver quickly turned the jeep and luckily, it didn't hit the kid but all the passengers where shocked at what happened and I can't even describe it properly... Anyway, thank God we're all safe.

No Traffic
Everytime Manny Pacquiao had a boxing fight, the streets are clear and it's good to travel if you hate heavy traffic. Well, it's just most of the people are staying watching in front of the tv hoping for Manny to win the fight.

A little bit of Shame
We all know, that 'some' (quote and quote the word some) of the traffic law enforcers that we see most of the time are often referred to as 'crocodile' or buwaya in local language. Well, I've seen them most of the time during their work hours where when the jeep (usually) stopped, the go near on the side of the driver and the drivers give them few coins (5 pesos sometimes). Anyway, early this afternoon, the driver was about to give a 5 peso coin to the traffic enforcer, unfortunately he was on the side of the road, he was about to come closer when he looked and saw the passengers looking at him. He then gave a hand signal to the driver to move and he stepped back. The passenger seated in front said 'Aba, marunong din pala silang mahiya' Lol... :D
