THE JEEPNEY RIDE...

Got home from my exams today. As I was on board the jeepney on my way home, I couldn't help but overhear conversations from neighbors who were on the same vehicle. They were talking about the tuition fees they had to pay for their would be graduating son and daughter, respectively. Hey I was not eavesdropping, okay. Their voices are just too loud that everyone in the vehicle could really hear every word they said.. lol...

It is really amazing what could transpire in such an overused mode of transportation. And conversations, apart from the loud voices rendered by the hosts, are all together put with the very reactions that are often too obvious to conceal for the factor that the jeepney has a narrow passageway in the middle of the vehicle. Sometimes, knees and shoulders would vehemently bump with no excuse but the very small space it has.

On my way to school this morning, the lady sitting across had worn her blouse inside out.. I wanted so much to tell her but when she realized that she was indeed wearing her garment backwards, she kind of allowed herself to be embarrassed, although no one uttered a word tow her. She simply smiled at herself and went down her stop point. Oh well, sometimes, even if you do not say anything to anyone in the jeepney, your message comes obviously..

I am home now, but still I find my jeepney ride today totally inspiring... I have witnessed many people struggle and won their battles.. that I learned during my jeepney ride...
