Hailing A Taxi Is A Bitch!

Well, at least getting one in Enrique’s place.

It’s the third straight day that I’ve been commuting going to work and coming home, and believe me, getting a cab along Enrique’s street really is impossible! Considering that their street is a main street if you are going to Makati. The first two days, I was plain lucky because in those two instances, the passengers got dropped off along our street. However, today was totally a bugger. I waited for about 30 minutes (same as the first two days), with no luck. And so I took the pedicab going to the Mandaluyiong circle. Fortunately, I was able to get one. Whew!

It’s not that there aren’t any cabs, it’s either the cab has passengers, or the driver doesn’t even stop (though vacant). The other day it was raining really hard, and I had this one chance of hailing one. However, that darn driver said that it’s too traffic going to Makati. HELLO?!? Everyday almost everywhere there’s heavy traffic, what more if it’s raining! And, don;t they feel a little bit more sympathetic to us commuters drenched in the rain waiting for a good soul to transport us? Dang… There really is not much care in this world.

Oh well. Can’t do anything. Two more gruelling days I guess, before I take driving lessons for a manual transmission car. Yup, I only used to drive autuomatic cars, but of course, beggar’s can’t be choosers right? So rather than trying so hard to hail a cab while the car is parked idly, I would prefer taking a 5-hour course over the weekend so I can drive that dang thing next week.

If not, hello new Mazda!
