God Bless Our Trip

      A sad news came up this afternoon. A passenger van hit a passenger jeepney resulting to the death of a lot of passengers. It happened at our neighboring town at our province. The accident was fatal for what was left to the van was the flooring part only. It was cut horizontally in the middle by the accident. Mostly of the passengers were nursing students. I am sadden by the news and it is alarming for I always travel going home riding passenger vans. Hope this would remind drivers to be very careful and watch out their speed in driving. It is always my prayer for passengers out there that may God bless our trip.  

Flooding Streets

           My forty five-minute jeepney ride became two hours when the streets were flooded by the heavy rain last night. The flood is already so heavy that all can be seen at the streets is water. There had been a heavy traffic and many vehicles stopped moving. This is totally a different scenario from other countries and cities. My friend who is in Europe is experiencing summer right now and even had a photo wearing castleberg outdoors attire. The sun is brightly shining in their place. Unlike here in our place that is always gloomy and rain is pouring at the afternoon. According to the weather forecast, there is a storm at our place and it may last for days. Lucky for me last night, I was able to ride a jeepney that was in a good condition or else I would have to walk in that flooding street. On our way, a lot of people were at the street waiting for passenger vehicles to passby wherein most of it were stranded at the traffic or on the flooding street. Before I was able to ride a passenger vehicle, I really try hard to be able to have a seat at the jeepney because there are also a lot of passengers like me who were waiting for their ride. I am really grateful that despite the flooding streets I was able to arrive safely at our house. Thank you Lord for the safe travel and for your protection.

Tracker

           Good thing that in every jeepney ride there is a driver and a route to follow where in you would only say "para" or "lugar" when you already reached your destination. Unlike traveling to a place where you never had been is a bit difficult. You would never know what road to take and what are the landmarks, to be able to know that you are in the right track. Before maps is widely used because it is very reliable in locating roads and highways to be able to arrive in your destination. Now there are already cellphone applications of maps where you just have to type your starting point and end point and it would automatically compute the distance, duration of travel and suggested path to take. Good thing also with the advancement of technology is that there is now a gps tracker. With a gps tracker you could be secured that you are on the right track. It would give you your exact location anywhere you would be. You would just set where your destination is and it would guide you on what road and places to pass towards your destination. Latest models of cars now had already a gps tracker being installed. It is very helpful especially in traveling to new places.  Companies also installed it on their company cars to be able to know the location of their employees. This is the good thing that technology brought us.
