I Skip a Heartbeat

Sings...

I do love, she does heartbreak
I did love 'til she broke my heart

I know I said serious stuff to write, but man, it's been keeping me away from blogging. So I'm just gonna go back to the usual program! Hehe. Hey, this is my space.

So yesterday, I went to some agency in Pedro Gil to get my passport. They were somewhat holding it hostage. I need it because I'm going back to Hong Kong. Woohoooooo! 3 days but who's complaining if it's free.

I intended to ride the LRT but as fate would have it, it was broken. I really had to get that passport so I took a jeepney. It broke down too half-way, so I quickly took another one. I remembered how stressful it is commuting the narrow but nevertheless still main streets of Manila. It's frustrating. Makes you wonder if they ever wonder about widening them. There's a huge business need, you headless politicians!

I did get to the agency. My contact is nice. Too nice in fact that I dreaded the encounter. I wanted to leave that place as soon as I had my passport in hand. And I did, then headed to Amoranto.

Liz was the earliest to be there -- 3 pm. I got there the last at 6 pm. We finished between 8 and 9 pm, so imagine her being there for 5 hours. Anyway, it was another sweat-ful workout. Afterwards, Jen thought we should get pedicure. They had their foot scrub too, but I just had my pedicure. I'm being a scrooge. Hehe.

Report that Taxi to LTFRB

I got a forwarded email from a cousin entitled "Mabuhay Philippines in 2020" containing mainly pictures of popular cities looking futuristic and orderly like in developed countries. Only in the end, it says "Stop dreaming and go back to work." (If I feel like it, I'll paste the pictures here.) I thought, well, why can't it be a reality! Being optimistic aside, I think it is doable. All it takes is a collective will. They say change begins with oneself, so from this point forward, it will be this blog's theme. God, please lend me humor in all these.

So, let's start. It's been raining for almost a week now. My parents and I got to finally go home after 2.5 days in the hospital. (No, none of us has AH1N1 virus, although I have a flu. Other people have it too, you know, because of the weather. :P) I should have monitored how long it took to get a cab. It felt like forever! There were a lot of picky/a-hole taxi drivers. I probably hailed like at least 20, but I only got 3 plate numbers.

You probably know that they can be reported to the LTFRB and they may have a landline or cellular hotline, but I doubt many would have either number in their contact list, so fret not. You can file a complaint hassle-free online: http://www.ltfrb.gov.ph/complain.aspx?navid=1168

PS: While my sister was in the other room, we were talking about whether to attend tomorrow's muay session or not and dinner through YM! I know I say this again and again, but isn't technology sooooo cool?! ^_^
