Democracy at Its Finest
The traffic light turns from Green to Yellow, the bus and trucks increases their speed to get past the red light. Pedestrians expect that when the light turns Yellow, any second they may cross the street so they prepare themselves; their heels shift position and their upper body lifts forward. The light turns red, the vehicles roar across the one meter distant pedestrians almost making them feel that they had done something wrong to the planet that they deserve to be frightened by them drivers.
It's the Philippine traffic policy. We are, after all, a democratic country. We are free to express what we want for our country (which should be for OUR betterment, not for each individual only). WE HAVE RULES. But we make another for our OWN sake.
What does the yellow light mean? Doesn't it tell drivers to slow down and prepare for a halt? Isn't that what's it supposed to be? Or maybe, there is already a new traffic rule that we haven't heard of that only vehicle owners know.
Please, tell me. It will be my pleasure to correct my wrongs. But really, who among Filipinos follow rules nowadays?
Even the simplest rule of putting trash into a garbage can is taken for granted. The attitude goes something like, "The garbage can is too far, I don't need to make an effort for throwing garbage to its proper disposal."
Come on. You deserve a throne so shoot yourself in.
I was in front of a jeepney. This girl sat beside me as she ate some potato chips. She finished eating, looked around, and placed her empty plastic bag underneath our seat.
WTF!?
She took out a tiny golden bible--WOW!!! A christian!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
I took my earphones off and told her, "Hey, you plastic bag."
She looked at me surprised and pretended, as many people HERE who do not want to admit their errors, not to hear clearly what came out of my mouth.
"I said, your plastic bag," said I and she knew what I meant so she took it and placed inside her pretty bag.
She deserves it inside her bag for some point. Have some shame, you're a feet away from the driver!!!
