10 Things I Now Know

For the past two months of staying here in Manila, these are the 10 things out-of-my-world observations I have:

1. "OK-OK" is the KING of the road not jeepneys..(if you don't know the word, ask somebody)

2. Here in Makati, follow loading and unloading rules or else you will have to go back to the jeepney if you "unintentionally" unload in an loading area...(dili pwede mag-buot-buot)

3. It is disrespectful to knock the hand railing of a jeepney if you want to make "baba", shout "para" and if you forgot "lugar lang..."

4. Only in the Philippines, aircon jeepneys that also re-design like an aircon bus.

5. Jolli-jeep is the five star fastfood here in Makati. 3Ms (Masarap, Mura, Marumi)

6. Railway transit (LRT and MRT) is painfully not good for your weak legs. In short, they should remove the seats and give each passenger a pole to hold on to. Lesson learned, if you want to sit while riding MRT or LRT, sumakay sa pinakadulong station.

7. Have you seen a shopping city? I'm not talking about Mall of Asia. In my opinion, Glorietta, Greenbelt, SM, Park Square, Landmark and more should be declared shopping city. You need a map just to go from one point to another coz it's like a maze of doors with security guards.

8. Weather forecast: 15 minutes of thunderstorm (blame it on cloud seeding). It feels like, the sun is shining while it's raining like hell. (First time "bagyo" experience)

9. Wanna "feel" like you're in another country? Go to ROCKWELL.

10. Lastly, Pasig River still stinks.
