How come we here in the Philippines are left out of the MTV Swag? There are some cool stuff there that i'd like to get my hands on...

My PC bogged down so i get to go online only when my bro isnt using the laptop...

Just got my first payslip! Its not big but still my first earnings from working! Now, what to do with it, hehehe. For now, im keeping it in my atm, but i might buy some clothes, cause were supposed to wear business casual attire at work and most of my clothes are jeans and tshirts.

Oh, and today, i had my longest sleep since working. i think i slept for 13 hours.

Yesterday morning, as i was going home, i had a brush with death...

It was saturday, early morning juat past 6am, so there wasnt much cars on the road. I rode the MRT then got off a station to ride a bus. Usually, when i get off the MRT, there were a lot of buses waiting nearby or passing. But for some reason, there wasnt much, maybe because they were at the LTFRB trying to get a fare matrix so they can charge higher fare since it was approved that fares will be increased and they can only charge the new fares if they had the matrix. Anyway, after waiting around 10mins, i was able to get on a bus. Some of the passengers were complaining about the fare increase and started ranting among themselves. I noticed the bus diver looking back at some of the passengers, and was listening in on them. The bus was going fast since there werent much cars. Then some cars in front slowed down or stopped and since the bus was going fast, the driver tried to avoid the cars that slowed and veered right. I thought the bus was going to go on its side because we were going fast. Good thing it didnt, but it was scary. The conductor was thrown forward and fell on the aisle. As the bus veered right, it clipped another bus, and that bus hit the gutter and fencing. It was my fisrt bus aacident and i didnt know what to do. The passengers then started getting off and were saying "baba na" or "get off the bus. So i just followed them. Then the driver or conductor of the other bus came to our bus and started shouting and cursing...

then police started to come and we caused a lot of traffic early in the morning. Good thing it was saturday and most have no work or it would be a traffic jam. So i can go home, i gave my ticket to the conductor and gave me fare so i can get on another bus. I got on a bus and i noticed i was just 5 mins away from where i was to get off. Anyway, i got home safe which im thankful for...

If only that bus driver was paying attention to the road, there wouldn't be an accident...
