White Cab
Er… no!
This is not a pun of some pizza place.
Let me start this boring narrative.
Taxi colors differ all around the world.
Hong Kong cabs are mostly colored red. New York has the signature yellow cab but here in the Philippines, taxis are usually colored white with that yellow colored plate.
The past few days, I have been hailing cabs here and there to take me to our new campus IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!!!
Talk about inconvenience.
With a flag down rate of 30php, I usually spend an average of 70php for a ride towards my school from our place.
Ehem… That’s like 70 percent of my daily allowance. (Thank God I don’t spend money on food these days because my classes are after lunch.) <- haha! you know na pila ako allowance.
Taxi drivers come in a variety of personalities.
Some hardly say a word, others say something every now and then but the best ones are those who you can talk about practical things.
They can make an otherwise mundane journey quite interesting.
It’s like, "whoah! I didn’t know that"
But the moment you start enjoying the conversation, the next thing you see from the window is your destination.
After handing the fare and thanking the cab driver for driving me to my destination, I say to myself,"I guess it’s time to go."
I take a bus and 2 jeepneys on my way home.
*I SHOULD get a car najud uy! layo ayung skwelahana. yawn! hehe…
