LRT incident (monday 02-12-07)
if you're an lrt commuter like me, you'll know that when i say that "the lrt broke down," it means major disaster! i was supposed to ride from monumento, but when i got to the station, it seemed as if people were being recruited for an upcoming event. the stairs were filled with people. the crowd covered the the whole sidewalk and even reached the streets. that was how full it was. so i thought that maybe 5th ave was not such a bad idea. :) bad suggestion. same scenario there.
i didn't have a choice but to wait. it was like a movie scene really. everyone had their backs to me. we were all in a daze. minutes passed. just like the story of "hope for the flowers," some caterpillars went down while others fell. we were like those caterpillars. some went down and decided to ride a jeep instead (even jeepneys then were FULL).
minutes passed. the trains had life again. everyone ascended one step at a time. our movements were all synchronized. one step ahead meant one step closer to the entrance. we all walked in a trance. we were in a daze. it was as if an unspoken voice was commanding us to ascend. finally, the entrance to the platform seemed like a goal. we reached the goal. we had won.
was late for class that day. thank God the prof got in later than i did! hahaha :) yay!
there was a funny incident too. we were at the pedro gil station. only the first door of the cart opened. after a few minutes, the train was about to leave (take note: the other doors weren't opened). when the train revved up, the people who had to leave the station started to shout. :) it was really funny actually. hee hee :) the train stopped midway and let the people out. -- one of the incidents in the lrt. :) hahaha :)

vday. day of hearts. heart day. hahaha :) spent the day with friends. sir aranda cancelled our class. we went to our friend's condo, only to find out that she went out. :) hahaha :) we picnicked outside her condo - ate popsicle sticks and the lollipop that had the popping poweder - then went to shakey's since jax wanted to treat us :) what a nice valentine's day for me :D hahaha :) yum! it was really fun. :) miguel gave me a necklace with a flower pendant. :) hee hee :)
it was pretty fun to see the people in school. both guys and girls alike were carrying bouquets, flowers, stuffed toys, balloons, etc. :) it was really nice. :) at least 80% of the people in school were carrying something. couldn't avoid the tummy-wrenching feeling when the girls were carrying bouquets :) hee hee :) but i had a great valentine's day. :)
