Eye Protector

     In my every jeepney ride, I do not neglect to wear my sunglasses. Jeepney is an open type of vehicle wherein the outside wind gets inside the jeepney. It could blow away your hair and could sometimes make your eyes sore because of the dust and dirt carried by the wind. It is important for a passenger to wear  sunglasses not only as an accessory but as a protector as well. It will protect your eyes from the dirt as well as from the brightness of the sun. 

     I always make sure that where ever I go I have my protector from the eyes. I am grateful that in my recent visit to an eye doctor, the results showed that my vision is still normal and eyeglasses with high grades is not yet recommended. The eye doctor only suggests that if I really want to protect my eyes from the radiation of computer, I could buy a specific eyeglass just for that. It was long before then that I was really planning to buy that kind of eyeglasses. My brother encouraged me to buy like the one he was for it would really protect your eyes from long exposure to the radiation emitted by computers. Thankfully, there are a lot of different styles of glasses for women in the eye clinic where I went. After choosing the frames for the glasses and waiting for two hours for them to fix it, I instantly use it. Now I have another eye protector. 

Traffic Caused by Election Rally

     I was so exhausted by a heavy traffic caused by an election rally. It is already campaign period and I could not believe it that they held their rally in an intersection of a busy street. They really block the way that it caused a heavy traffic. My supposed to be forty-five minute jeepney ride became two hours. My co-passengers were already exhausted, hungry, angry, sweating and others almost fainted. Due to the severe traffic experienced by the commuters, other passengers who where also voters in this coming election sweared not to vote those candidates who held their election rally there. Too bad for them but they should really be considerate to those affected by the election rally they held. They should think for a more strategic location where they could held their election rally wherein there would be no effects like that. I just really hope it would not happen again. 

Parokya ni Edgar:Now Playing

        I was so happy this morning with my jeepney ride. The music played in the jeepney are Parokya ni Edgar songs. I like this band since I was in high school. I like their cool songs and their comical lyrics. My brother was the one who influenced me to like Parokya ni Edgar. He was a fan that almost all of the songs I heared from his playlists are songs of Parokya ni Edgar. Hearing these songs once more while having a jeepney ride was so relaxing and made my ride enjoyable. Here is one of the Parokya ni Edgar songs form Youtube. 

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.  

Silent Ride

     On my everyday jeepney ride on going home, it was always a silent ride. My co-passengers had been employees like me and some are students who had been exhausted for the whole day that passed by. Common scenario with this ride is the mellow radio music inside the jeepney while most of the passengers are past asleep. Seeing these things make me remember my essay writing when I was in college. I don't know why I chosen jeepney ride as the topic in my essay instead of other interesting topics to write about. My teacher wrote some comments in my write-up and one of the things she mentioned is that how could I relate to some passengers when in the first place there had been no exchange of words or interaction inside the jeepney. According to my teacher most co-passengers are just passers-by in one's life of a jeepney passenger that it would not be possible to learn something in a jeepney ride. I was not been able to have a good mark in that essay. If only I was able to discover www.911essay.com that could surely help me in my essay problems. To prove my teacher wrong I was able to have this blog but in every silent ride I have, it made me thinks twice that maybe my teacher had been right. 

Foreign Coins

     I was looking for coins in my wallet as my payment for the fare of my jeepney ride this morning. I almost paid a wrong coin. It was a foreign currency coin. It is an Australian coin given to me by my classmate in MBA. She had been in Australia because here sister had been staying there and she just came home from a long vacation there. My other classmates had been asking her if she had some spare Australian coins and she had given it to them as well as to me. It is now part of my collection.

     When my brother started to travel across countries as part of his job being a seaman, I always ask him for spare coins that are still with him when he comes back. I already have coins coming from the countries of Singapore, UK, Australia, Japan, USA and etc. Recently, I came to know about gold bullion coin of USA. It is sold per ounce of the coin and per ounce of the coin is worth almost two thousand dollars. Hope in a lifetime I could be able to buy American gold eagle coin. I would consider it as a treasure that I would really keep and pass it on to my children and grandchildren.

Violation

       On my way home, there had been a lot of law enforcers at the street. They came from LTO (Land Transportation Office) who were strict in implementing the laws and regulations among private and public vehicles. The jeepney, were I rode on my way home, did not escape from them. They stopped the jeepney and declared some violations. It delayed our trip for a while. I overheard that the violation incurred was overloading because the "konduktor" was already sitting on the middle of the jeepney and not on the passengers' seat. The violation would entail some fees and fines as well. I think the law enforcer was right in imposing the violation. They were only concern on the safety of the passengers. The safety of the passengers should always be the first priority of jeepney drivers.
