"Love Affair" With Metro Cab Drivers

Here continues the saga of my "love affair" with cab drivers within the metropolis. I have already given you the first two stories here and here. So far this week, I've had had three encounters.

June 18, Monday

My frustration of the events the past weekend must have shown on my face because the taxi driver, with me having hardly sat there for five minutes, suddenly asked me if I had a relationship with God. I told him yes. And then he started preaching about his Born Again ministry, etc., etc. Listening, it probably took away some of the negative feelings I had that day. Probably. I paid him extra for at least taking the effort of establishing rapport and consoling a tired soul. Thanks, manong.

June 19, Tuesday

This one is hard to detail because I am not sure what to make of the cab driver. He kept looking at me on the rearview mirror, and kept glancing at the back whenever I say something. It's a game of cat and mouse on that fucking mirror. Sadly, he's not my type, although I admit that he's kind of cute, and tall (gauging from the length of his legs). Come to think of it, he's got appeal. But kebs, not my type.

Nothing major negative happened naman. It's just that he hesitated before giving me a ride. That oaf.

Why Are Taxi Drivers Bobo? II

I wanted to start June on the right track, however, the stupid taxi driver this morning made it impossible. Ano ang hindi maintindihan sa "diretso"? Hindi ba ito ay simpleng salita na ang ibig sabihin ay tuloy-tuloy, walang kakanan, walang kakaliwa, walang aatras? So bakit ka kumaliwa? Pakshet naman, o! Balak mo pang umatras, eh kung mag-trapik!

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Sa totoo lang, wala na bang matinong cab driver ngayon? Naiintindihan ko, kailangan niyong kumita, marangal na trabaho yan. PERO SANA NAMAN GAMITAN NIYO NG UTAK!!!!! TAPOS ANG KAKAPAL NG MUKHA NIYONG HUMINGI NG TAAS SA FLAGDOWN RATE!!! POTAH!

Lagi na lang ako nabibiktima ng mga hayop na 'yan!

Friday the Thirteenth of April

I'm going to record my day today to see if the jinx applies to me (most likely it does, read on).

MORNING:

I overslept.

Nainis ako sa youngest sister ko.

Napaka-tanga nung taxi driver ng nasakyan kong cab. I told him to turn right before reaching Makati Medical Center coming from Amorsolo. But he insisted on going straight ahead, which led us to a NO ENTRY sign along that street along Makati Med leading to People Support, so he had to make a left, straight, then right into Buendia where the traffic was heavy.

I just can't take it when these taxi drivers don't follow instructions, especially for a route that I have been traveling for more than 365 days. Ganun din naman ang bagsak namin, dito pa rin sa building. So sad, to think that he works for a reputable taxi company. Actually on their radio, I heard their dispatcher having trouble with another of their cab driver who was supposed to pick up a passenger in Manila, I think.

Attention MGE Management, you are starting to get infested with stupid taxi drivers!

When I got here at the office, I wasn't surprised to find that the modem, router, and hub are still turned on, despite the fact that it was promised last night by one of the managers that she'd turn it all off. Ang nakakainis lang, pag nasira ang mga ito at kailangang palitan, siya pa ang may kapal ng mukhang magtanong bakit nasira. ANG TANGA MO!!!!

Here's the last so far. Yung isang ka-opisina dito, nilapitan ako at kinurot ang braso ko. TANGINA ANG SAKIT!!! Okay lang sana kung close kami, eh hindi! OMFG!!! Ang sakit talaga, I feel that my arm got immobilized. F*CK HER.

I still have 9 more hours to go here. I will update later.

Divang Driver

I was almost late for work Thursday morning, and so I had to ride a cab. I was glad that the cab had a good sound system, and the song that I heard was from Beyonce (I think.) It was followed by JLo. And then by Madonna's Papa Don't Preach. Okay, it was getting creepy. I checked in front for the radio station, but I found out that he was playing a CD.

I just told my self, "Divang-diva itong driver na ito." Ha ha ha.
