Full the string to stop

You know how the government destroys patches of road that looks perfectly fine and then rebuilding them again? They call that maintenance. I see that as wasting government funds in projects that reek in corruption. It also causes traffic, even at the country’s widest avenue, even if kids are already off from school. My supposed 5-minute jeepney ride was prolonged to a 40-minute wait inside a crowded jeepney on a hot and humid summer night. Anyway, there was also a sign in the jeepney which read, “Full the string to stop.” I wanted to take a picture of it, but was wary of taking out my digital SLR just like that.
I came from school, from a student council-faculty meeting with the new college dean. It was a long two-hour meeting but it was fruitful. I’m really excited to help in making things work in Mass Comm even with the lack of capital funds among other problems. (Yea, yea, initial optimism and all that). Me and my colleagues are semplanning the student council activities tomorrow too.
Before that (okay, I’m backtracking now), I was at Jerwin’s apartment for the re-dubbing of their thesis short film. It was the first time for me to watch the final cut. Ang galing! The musical score was great. [Will it sound too self-serving for me if I say I am satisfied with my performance as well? Even Ma'm Gigi recognized my acting at the student council-faculty meeting].
And before that, I came from Bulacan, where I spent the first half of the day helping out in our store. I commuted by myself, for the second time, without much hassle. But I shouldn’t get used to it, or else my mom will ask me to commute all the time!

Manila roads are hell; it’s sad that we have to factor in an extra hour of travel sometimes just to accommodate potholes.

tanong daw dito ano daw ginawa mo sa string?
kakatakot nga minsan maglabas ng camera sa loob ng sasakyan….
Oi, FYI the traffic two(?) days ago (last Tuesday) was stupidly caused by bad graduation logistics at Diliman Preparatory School (*cough, cough* an ugly school for you international people who think that anything with “prep school” is posh).
Kung ako tatanungin, magaling talaga performance mo sa thesis ni Kuya Jing. Pinanood niya kasi sa amin yung film nung wala pang sound and all, doon pa lang ang galing na.. how much more pag meron ng sound? haha. I should get a copy of that PT.
It takes two to tango…
Malaki ang fault ng government; but people too have their own BIG faults
Vandals, nagnanakaw ng mga public properties, binabangga yung ano ang nasa kalsada…
