Jeepney 1

I remember this incident back when I am still in college. We are heading home riding a jeep from our school in Sta.Mesa to Marikina. I think this was around 2000 or 2001 and at that time, the traffic along Marcos, Aurora, and Magsaysay Highway was horrible since LRT 2's groundwork was on its initial phase.  The worst part of the traffic is concentrated at Katipunan.

Why start blogging now?

I have created this account back in 2009. Back then, blogging is all the craze. Blogging is a side (main) hustle. You work your normal hours and blog after to earn extra. Great! At that point, there is so much happening in my life like work, paying debt, living from paycheck to paycheck that sort of stuff, that I have not paid attention to writing. It is for the simple reason: I GOT LAZY Fast forward to 2021. 12 years and I am trying this again, I'll try to remember past event that I find interesting.  Wish me luck!
