Heavy traffic flow in Metro Manila has always been an everyday pain in the ass...But thanks to Railway Transits, commuters can arrive from one key station in Manila to another in less than an hour...Plus, it is less costly compared to travelling via taxi cab or FX vehicles...One of them is the MRT or Metro Railway Transit...It has been one of the most memorable things in my "college" life...It has been very helpful to me in going to my school and heading home...But when I started working, I wasn't riding with it that much compared before...The fact that more and more people are now commuting with that kind of transpo, I felt like it was time to give way for the rest of the Manila peeps a taste of the MRT ride...
But last night, because of my friend's persistence, she convinced me to take the challenge of the MRT rush hour ride.
And it's like I took a challenge for a reality show...why???
1. for the past years, I've been developing this fear of being in enclosed spaces -- claustrophobia in technical terms...and when I'm in a place that's too crowded, I start to feel uneasy, weak and tense...nauseated and pale-skinned...
2. I start to be lazy getting up and down the stairs of MRT stations I end up with...
3. 3 years ago, my cellphone was snatched inside the train and I only found out that it was snatched when I was in the mall to call someone...
But despite my nauseated feeling inside the train, my friend still took the liberty of taking pictures of yours truly and me taking the liberty of still posing wacky [promise,,,hirap magpanggap na ok lang ako...hehe --- English: it's not easy faking myself to look ok =)]

after 15mins [cause we did a round trip...], i finally got to my destination [Ortigas station - fronting SM Megamall]...and I must say, I SURVIVED!!!
so when is Carla's next MRT ride???...the answer: well, not in the soonest possible time...and most likely not on rush hours... =)
enjoy the ride guys and kudos to all the MRT commuters...I salute your courage, patience and perseverance =)
