On postponing a "Big Event"

"Why wait and burn in lust?"

Waste of Pink and Blue Paint

That's the very least that it is. It's a waste of taxpayer money. It means having to climb up and down stairs to cross a street where there are already traffic lights, pedestrian lanes and people with the common sense to stop and wait until they can cross the street. It means yet another eyesore in the eyesore that is most of Metro Manila.

It is the footbridge MMDA is constructing at the junction of EDSA and Ortigas Avenue.

I don't see how it will solve the traffic because it's the traffic lights not the people that cause vehicles to stop. And it's not like they'll remove those traffic lights because that would mean disaster. The vehicles have to stop. Anyone can cross safely. I've been doing so for several months already! Why the footbridge??? Bayani can probably argue it's safer for pedestrians. Duh. No one is going to cross the road unless the vehicles are at full stop courtesy of the red light. It's EDSA people. I daresay we urban walkers are not that crazy yet.

Either they needed an excuse to grease their hands with some money or someone's campaigning for the elections. Argh.

9 days to my Christmas break

Carlo and I went gift hunting in Tiendesitas last Saturday then we watched the DCBC Cantata yesterday. Mom's telling me to buy this and that for Christmas. I have to make a wishlist for the lunch party with Ilang roommates on Saturday and then figure out what to give close friends for lunch party on Sunday. I'm wondering if they decorated at home na. I'm praying our church in Pangsinan gets more volunteers for the choir. Last year, 3 people lang un kumakanta and it's kinda sad lang. I'll be home on the 23rd (woot for free ride home!).

Work is the last thing on my mind right now.

Let's all go to Mega people and drown our "wala pang 13th" sorrows there.
