Precious Moments

Yesterday, I was supposed to be in Lumpia House Countrymall at 8am for our usual BCBP Saturday breakfast fellowship which I’ve been missing since I started school - I have nutrition class on Saturdays 7am to 12. 

A transformed optimist, I believe I can make it to the venue on time, bisag 7:40am na gud - Liloan baya amo. hehehe - I was thinking of overspeeding, ngeks!!! wa may overspeeding diri sa Cebu, sky is the limit may driving speed diri - think Danao or Talisay jeepney drivers.  Anyway, my spirit sagged when I was like ‘crawling’ for 15 minutes sa Cansaga area.  If you don’t know where that is -  basta, duol duol pa na sa amo - Consolacion pa na - and the venue is a 30-45min to an hour normal drive away.  I breathe a sigh of relief when I passed the seemingly heavy traffic flow and thought to myself, ok ra, sagdi lang ma late gamay.

But I was in for a surprise after barely a kilometer from that delay.  For before me is a line of vehicles slowly if not moving at all.  I thought I was in a parking lot instead of the highway.  I was stuck for over an hour, close to two hours jud to - slowly moving forward but mostly staying still.  What could one do in a traffic like this? I sang along Madonna and Spandau Ballet on the radio.  I folded the parking tickets in the car’s trash bin - daghan na man diay kaayo. Text here, text there , looked at equally bored drivers and passengers, looked up the sky, stared at the solid yellow street line, wiped dashboards and anything there is to wipe, basta wipe wipe lang… I even read my Healthcare 1 notes which is still in the car bisag humana ang klase. Hahay! Traffic jud kaayo.  Then I thought of looking inside my bag and try to do some cleaning up there and guess what I found? - my digicam! hehehe. Sa ka walay lingaw, I got the cam and just took some shots on the scenes ahead of me

Hahay, what more can a bored driver do? 

hehehe, as usual, take self picture!  Kamo bay ma traffic, lalim ba?
