Yes, cabbie, it's like, I kinda really love looking like this and all. I shop at my favourite stores and all to look nice and neat and cute. And then, like, I sound like this and like I kinda, you know, can't help it especially when I'm having fun with friends...get what i mean?
That aint mean i'm a fuckin idiot, you doofus.

fine, we are not located in the more dynamic part of makati, gourmet-wise, especially. my office posse and i have lately felt the need to transcend this. to widen our horizon, we use public transport, cabs particularly. in just minutes, we step into a land of bread and butter--not just any bread but focacia and not just any butter but er well, the real fattening ones, whatever it's called.
now, it would usually happen that i peer from the backseat to see the cab meter turned off. it's a very short ride and they all tell us that the fare's always sixty bucks. we didn't mind since this only meant twenty from each of us anyway.
once, we insisted for the driver to flag his meter down and in spite of a much more complicated route from our usual lunch spot, the fare only amounted to 40 bucks.

to decongest traffic in metro manila, they came up with the numbered traffic scheme. (yeah, as if it works.) this has been temporarily lifted for the summer but great ol' makati city refused to be one in this. suffice it to say that it's either i go to makati befor six (since i live in qc) or i risk being pulled over.
now, of all the days for me to be restricted from the road, it had to be on fridays. friday is the official wild day, to go sanctimonious at night, to go wild. and i don't have a car during that day. 
anyway, i take a cab from my place, and it takes me an hour just to chance upon one that's willing to take me to work.
most cabdrivers refuse to take me in because my destination is out of their way. well, i'm not trying to hitch a ride, asshole; i intend to pay.

somebody in government do something. please.
