Taxi !!!!!

Aaarrggh!!!! Hate taxis and taxi drivers! Sobrang malas na araw...

(1) 9:30 am--have to take taxi. Über late for 10am meeting. "Sorry Ma'am, magsusundo pa ko airport eh"... *sigh*.. no choice anyway..

(2) 9:45 am--still no taxis around in Marcos Hway. Panic mode! Second taxi decides to take me in.. only to take the routes where traffic is heavy! Haller?!?! Taxi driver ka ba tlga?!?! Bakit di ka marunong lumusot sa traffic?!?!

(3) 2pm --need to get money from ATM fast. Offline BDO. Offline Security Bank. No money at BPI Family Savings. Waaaah! Taxi meter running same time I was running around: total cab fare spent? 60 pesos, for ten-minute walk around Timog circle banks! errrrr.......

(4) 2:20pm--took taxi right in Buendia station..was supposed to go to Palanan across the railroad sa dulo ng Buendia. "Ay sorry Ma'am, dito lang ako Paseo"... Ngek! Sana nag-pedicab ka na lang! He brought me 100m from the waiting shed, where all the taxis passing already had passengers. Naturally! Had to wait another 20 minutes in blazing hot sun for FX (thank God may dumating!)

(5) 3pm--End of Buendia. Took taxi and (for the nth time) went around in circles trying to find Calatagan street. Ulyaning gurang reklamador driver whose taxi was a cross between a turtle crossing the street and a toddler on training wheels running around in circles.... curses!!! curseeeeeeees!!!!

(6) 3:20pm --on my way back to Buendia station after meeting with supplier. Taxi stuck in buendia/makati ave intersection! aaargh!!! di pa rush hour ah... at ang bilis ng metro!!! Tubig ba laman nyan manong?!?!

(7) 3:50pm-- kia taxicab back to office with no aircon on a scorching hot afternoon. after tiring day.. i'm reaching the end of my rope... tsk tsk....

Lesson Learned: Taxis are jinxed!!! Total taxi fare today: 465 bucks. That's already a whole cream cheese stuffed crust pan pizza! Will save myself money and avoid taxis for the meantime.. (well, unless it's really really really hot outside, in which case i can make exception ;) Or better yet.. get my own wheels na!!!!
