After Poldy Class

It was Friday night, and I'm on my way home after our poldy class. The whole trip home was running smoothly, Quiapo is unbelievably traffic congestion-free! (Well go figure, its like 15 minutes past 9 o'clock in the evening so the traffic's supposed to be light) I was kind of happy and thankful because the week's about to end and I'm looking forward for the rest sunday's going to give me when, I realized we were slowing down, and yes you got it... traffic

I didn't mind much though, I wasn't in that much of a hurry to go home. Bible Study's almost done so I can't catch up and I wasn't going to meet anyone. I just kept to my seat, and observing people's idiosyncrasies.

I was at the intersection of Taft and Pedro Gil that time, the road near Robinson's Place Ermita.

My trip was delayed for about 10 minutes or so when we were on our way again. I didn't mind the delay that much but after we passed the intersection and saw the reason for the congestion, that I laughed at myself.

But before that, a little segue if you won't mind :D

People who have cars or who drive know that it's stupid to stay behind a jeepney especially if they're near a loading area, especially if it's near a mall or waiting shed. Why? Because the drivers would wait for passengers at that area not minding the cars behind them.

Well, the reason for this one WAS some kind of like that... As we passed the gas station near at the Pedro Gil-Taft intersection I saw the jeep that was the primary cause of the build-up. The jeep's a 12-seater, it was not fully painted yet it had the shiny silver finish that mostly belong to the newly bought or made jeeps and it only had 3 passengers . It was almost crawling because I saw the driver staring at his rear-view mirror as if he was waiting for passengers to board...

He wasn't....

I saw what he really was 'intently' viewing at the back. There was a couple behind but I didn't see them clearly, the woman was wearing a white uniform, I think she was a nursing somewhere near the place, while the guy wore civies, I think he is also a student because he didn't look that much old, I think he was at his early twenties.

This supposed couple, who has the drivers FULL attention, was busily smooching...

I shook my head, couldn't believe that THIS was the reason why we were delayed. A couple who couldn't keep their hands of each other long enough to get a room and a driver who can't keep his eyes off the rear-view mirror to notice the people who were waiting BEHIND him.

Now that's the power of hormones people!!!!!!!

Anyway, I reached home with no further incidents(thankfully)...
