Pulso ng Pilipinas: Siksik, Liglig at Umaapaw Ngunit Masikip, Madungis at Umaalingasaw

Wazzup Pilipinas!

An sabi ni PNoy, and malubhang kondisyon daw ng trapik ay senyales ng isang progresibong bayan. Ikaw ba ay sang-ayon?

Mukhang kahit saan ka lumingon dito sa Metro Manila ay siksikan. Magmula sa isang barangay na nagkalat ang mga bahay na dikit-dikit at halos dingding na lang ang pagitan sa nakararami lalo na sa mga squatter areas, hanggang sa sakayan ng traysikel na kayhaba ng pila, pati pagsakay ay pinipilit nilang isiksik ang tao sa napakaliit na espasyo. Ang dating apatan lang, ngayon ay animan na. Wala na silang pakialam kung ikaw ay komportable pa, ang mahalaga ay kumita sila ng extra.

Kahit sa mga jeepney ay pilit pa ring pinauupo kahit halos kalahati na ng pwet mo lang ang kasya. Ang matindi ay may sabit pa sila sa likuran. Mga paraeng drayber alam naman namin na gusto ninyong kumita pero bulag ba kayo sa katotohanan na hindi lahat ng tao ay pare-pareho ang pangangatawan?

Sa mga bus kahit wala ng madaanan sa gitna ay pilit pa rin pinatatyo ang mga tao. Kahit alam nilang mahihirapan sa pagbaba dahil walang madaanan ay OK lang sa kanila basta tumaas ang pasada. Mamang kundoktor, halos ikuskos mo na ang yong sarili para lang makadaan sa gita at makapangoleta ng pamasahe, pero bakit panay ka pa rin ng papasok ng pasahero? Ano ba akala mo sa amin, si plastikman?

Sa mga MRT at LRT ay halos hindi ka na makahinga. Pati mga pawis ninyo ay nagdidikitan na. May pagkakataon png hindi ka makababa dahil siksikan at ayaw gumalaw ang mga nakaharang sa daanan. Kung di lang walang trapik dito ay hind kami sasakay. Well, mas mabuti na rin sigurong mag-amoy suka, kaysa pumuti ang buhok sa tagal ng trapik.

Ocean Park Hong Kong Launches Spook-tastic Halloween Fest at a Trade Cum Media Luncheon

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I couldn't help but wonder if I lost track of time or was accidentally transported by a time machine when I got to the event held last September 11, 2014 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel.

This was because I saw lots of people at the venue wearing Halloween-inspired head gears. You know, the familiar witches hat, icky spiders, scarecrow hats decorated with lizards and other crawlers, and even pumpkins with etched faces. There were also a few men and women wearing Halloween fabulous costumes. They were obviously foreigners because of their facial features even with those make-up on.

I thought I was attending a press launch of Ocean Park Hong Kong at the hotel but I got confirmation only when somebody called out my name. Yes! The ladies from the PR agency probably saw me seemingly lost and confused that they called out to me and thanked me for being always early at their events.

After asking me to register, the ladies then gave me a press kit along with the long hashtag of #OceanParkHKHalloweenFest, told me to drop a business card for the raffle, and later asked me to pick a head gear for my own. I chose the purple witch hat.
