The Evening Rush.





11:00 pm in a Black Saturday night, EDSA corner Ayala Avenue.

10:30 pm, I left my supervisor's carpool and went down at corner Arnaiz Street to catch a bus going to Baclaran. Several minutes passed and not a single bus passed by, so I decided to walk all the way to Ayala only to find a jam packed bus of my trip.

I let it pass. I'm sure there'd be another one that'l pass by soon. There were lots of busses heading to Alabang all over the place, afterall. And there's no way I'm gonna get myself squished (or squish someone for that matter) inside that vehicle, uh-uh! Not this time!

So I waited.

...

Ten minutes...

Twenty...

Brrr... The next Baclaran bus arrived, got photographed, and posted here.

I sprinted my way up to the Alabang-bound bus that stopped sight beside me as soon as i had the photo saved. There were just a handful of passengers inside that I would've cartwheeled in the isle if only I could.

Now it's 12:00 am. Home safe and just about to publish this post.
