The Long Traffic Build-up at SLEX Experience

Last Friday September 11 2009, we went to Sta Rosa Laguna for a business transaction and as we drive our way back to Manila, we encountered a heavy traffic build-up due to the construction going on at the North Bound lane of the South Luzon Express Way. Also, the rains caused by the Low Pressure Area that became Thypoon "Nando" added more difficulty for motorists to pass through the SLEX upto the Magallanes area.

The heavy traffic build-up started along the Susana Heights exit of SLEX where only two lanes are passable. Upto the toll exit traffic pa rin ang sasalubong sa iyo. After the drivers pay for the toll, it does'nt end their. Vehicles got stuck their for a few minutes dahil barado sa labas ng exit kaya hindi makalabas yung mga sasakyan. I think we stayed there for an excruciating 15 minutes bago kami nakalusot, that was around 4:45 pm. When we reach the Bicutan area, ganun pa din and traffic, halos hindi gumagalaw ang mga sasakyan. The flow vehicles moved a bit faster when we reach Magallanes, but after we that bumper to bumper ulit and traffic, dun na kami inabot ng dilim at about 6:00 pm.

When we reach Osmena Hi-way, heavy rains started to fall and some part of the streets are flooded, plenty of passengers are also stranded, yung iba naglalakad hanggang sa unahan just to find transportation. Punuan naman yung PNR trains dahil sa dami ng pasahero. My back is starting to soar at that time because of long hours of sitting. As we stroll along Recto a lot of students are stranded and some removed their shoes at buong tapang na lumusong sa baha. We got back to the plant at 7:30 pm and take note we left Sta. Rosa at around 2:30, that was five hours. Normally 1 hour and a half upto 2 hours lang ang biyahe from Sta. Rosa to Manila, grabe yung traffic na yun.

This is the problem in Metro Manila, a little bit of rain always causes traffic because of clogged drainage systems that causes flood in some portions of Metro Manila. I'm not new to this thing, everytime there is a storm I always become a victim of heavy traffic. And for the record, in May 26, 2003 where the longest traffic build-pn in the Philippines was recorded, I was a part of that. The build-up starts from Bocaue Bulacan Toll ways upto Balintawak Quezon City. I took a Bus at around 6:00pm and I arrived home at past 9:00pm. Suwerte na ako nun dahil yung iba na nagbiyahe from Cubao to Bocaue sa EDSA na inumaga. Imagine I was a part of an all-time record, yun lang ang magandang naidulot sa akin ng traffic, ang babaw ko ano! Anyways while we were struggling at the traffic build-up last Friday, I have with me my Nokia Camera Phone and I took photos of the traffic build up.

My Very First Post for my Dream Blogging Project

Hi everyone! At last I will have my very first entry for my Dream Blogging Project. It took me too long before I get this thing started because I want to post only the dreams that I believe are the most bizzare and left me with a mind buggling thought as I wake up. Before I start this thing, I just wanna remind you that there are some personalities in this dreams that are part of my past and current life so I'll be using aliases to protect their identity and to protect me too, because they might came accross with this blog as they search the web and I don't want them to get offended for any reasons.

Now to get started, in this dream I was walking my way home in Corumi st. here in Masambong where I reside, as I cross the street I came accross with a gay wearing a Darna costume and when I got into a house along the corner of Corumi st. and Capoas st. I saw people in there preparing some garments which I believe will be used in a Cost Play. And in another house nereby I saw Miss. Elle(not her real name), I got a hidden crush for this girl so I stop to look at her, she is wearing a Filipiniana costume and seemed to be giving instructions to some helpers, they must be preparing for the Cost Play too. And after a few minutes looking at her she turned around and to my surprise she transformed into a woman which in my estimate was in the age of 40, I was shocked so I just went away. Then I finally got into another house, I don't kno why I went in there because I was suppose to go home. I entered in that house with a green gate and I saw my classmates in high school, they seem to be lining up for some sort of a troop formation for Boy Scouts. Two of those former classmates of mine were my batchmate in our school's Senior Scout Unit but one of classmate in the line up was a part of the Corps Officer Training Course so I'm wondering why he is lining up with the Boy Scouts. Then one of my former classmates whom I will call El Dy looks really different, I mean his face does'nt looks like my classmate El Dy but we believe that's him, then afterwards he also transformed back to his real face, strange.

We had some discussions afterwards, kumustahan, tawanan and we're cracking jokes at each other, the supposed to be troop formation was no longer a part of that gathering and just became a reunion. After a few minutes, my other classmates whom I'll just call Ms. D came out and talk to my other clasmate Mr. Z and I believe that they already have some understanding about the future, a wedding perhaps. That dream ended right there because my mom waked me up.

This was not the first time that I had this kind of dream, different situation but same elements, people involved are transforming their faces at a quick glance, my high school classmates are present for some sort of a reunion. And I'll tell you this dream is very detailed and as clear as watching a High Definition TV, it almost seemed that my body have travelled into another dimension and my body can really feel that I'm in that place and I can really hear clearly what people in this dream were saying. The sleep that I had with this dream was so deep and I feel that I could have died if my mom did'nt wake me up, thank GOD I was still able woke up.

I'll be posting more of my strange and colorful dreams, subscribe here if you want to keep on track, thank you and I'll see you again.
