Weird...

Maybe, for some reasons some dormers who stay in rooms overlooking the LRT-2 railways have been throwing their garbage at the tracks. Oh well, in that specific dormitory building x, each of these have been posted on the room doors:

"Throwing your garbage at the LRT Railways is strictly prohibited...blah blah blah..."

Well, once I saw it, I get the picture. I cannot be totally sure. But if my deductions are true, I don't know see any logic working on the idea that you have to throw your garbage at the railways...I believe that in that dormitory, there are trash bins reliable enough for the residents to throw theirs in and there is no need for them to scatter and dirty the railways with it.

Probably, trip lang.
Parang pagdidikit ng bubble gum sa ilalim ng arm chair kahit break time naman at walang teacher na pipigil sa paglalakad mo papunta sa sulok na may basurahan.

Sheer problem concerning discipline and culture... You know...

Masaya magcommute.
Knowing MRT and LRT routes are sisiw.
Actually there are faster and less-time consuming ways to get to places without the use of these things.

After college, I did not move out. So i have been living in the same place for years already. That includes not staying with my parents, and looking after myself.

Staying in the city for so long, I've known tons and tons of jeepney routes like guadalupe-paco and perdigon-nagtahan. Where they pass through and where'd they take you; say when you ride the Paco Jeep, you get off paco and get to makati by riding the guadalupe jeep.. I knew main roads: Quirino, Aurora, R Magsaysay... Nagtahan connects quirino and r magsaysay, and if you'd go beyond R Magsaysay from Nagtahan, you'll get straight to Lacson... minor roads, even eskinitas like Dominga and the one parallel to Legards, that connects Mendiola to Baste... Fly overs along edsa, how to get to NLEX or SLEX... Damn I forgot to say that I used to see SLEX in a daily basis back in my High School and Grade School days..

I love commuting...
And I would also love to drive, and discover easier shortcuts to help me navigate through this city. And the countryside. :)

Mas una ko itong nakilala. Since my freshman days in college, I've been reading this site already. I love the way it catches angles of various issues that the nation confronts, even the trivial.

A very insightful treat.

Read on!

Pinoy Weekly

http://pinoyweekly.org/new/
For some reasons, Pinoy Weekly, the most reliable weekly tabloid (probably more reliable than the broadsheets) in the country, ceased to release in print. However, the spirit of pro-people journalism that is genuine, critical and patriotic continues to live on in the web (hehe) and in the hearts of every Filipino, can read or not. :P
