Trip to Nayong Pilipino

So, this afternoon, after lunch and watching El Autentico Rodrigo Leal (English Translation: The Real Rodrigo Leal) (English Title: Finding Rodrigo), I went to Nayong Pilipino (English Translation: Filipino Village) in ParaƱaque City to deliver a package. That package is actually due last second week of November so I thought that I deliver it today to lessen the burden of tons of work I need to finish.

I rode a bus to MIA (Manila International Airport, now Ninoy Aquino International Airport). The conductor of the bus said that the fare from Estrella to MIA is twenty-five pesos (P25.oo). I thought it's quite expensive. I guessed that the fare would be around P18.00-P21.00. Anyway, when we reached MIA Road, I asked where the Nayong Pilipino is located. He said that it's straight ahead.

I saw the large, shiny, metallic script sign saying: Nayong Pilipino. I rode off and figured out where is the freakin' pedestrian lane. I saw nothing. As I walked some few meters, I saw the second part of the pedestrian lane on the other side of the road. The first part of the pedestrian lane (I'm talking about the white paint on the road) is almost invisible because it's all been worn out.

Atytention Metro Manila Development Authority, construct a footbridge or an overpass on MIA Road before anyone dies a tragic death there. I'm kind enough to say PLEASE. PLEASE DON'T PAINT IT PINK. Blue is much better.

I literally played "patintero" (A native Filipino game in whic you must avoid being tagged by players of the other team who is guarding an invisible lane) on MIA road as the vehicles passing there are like 350 kph! Nah, too exaggerated. Around 50-60 kph, I suppose.

Fortunately, I'm safe and currently encoding this. No Rege, No blog. Hahaha....

After delivering it to the office of the Executive Director, I went back to school for some unfinished stuff.

22 Days before Christmas! Have a great day everyone!
