#commute diary

Ang dami kong pinagdaanan para lang mapanuod ang play na ito.

1) Sumakay ng MRT mula Ayala hanggang Q Ave. Anong mas siksikan, lata ng sardinas o bagon ng tren? Hindi natin malalaman. Buti na lang may mabait na kuya na nag-scoot over para makaupo ako. Kay Kuya na may wallpaper na weed, this one’s for u! Hahaha. Stay lit! 

2) Nagbook ng Uber Pool mula Q Ave patungong Studio 72. Hindi ko tinawanan mga corny jokes ng driver ko kasi sexist siya. FYI, women can wear anything they want. Keep your sexist mouth shut.

3) Nakabili ng ticket sa halagang Php 300 kumpara sa benta ng prof ko na Php 450. 

4) Kasabay ko manuod faculty ng DHum at nakakita rin ng kaunting familiar faces mula sa campus. 

5) Nagbook ng Grab Pool (kasi mas mura kaysa Uber Pool) pauwi. Sobrang chill ng Grab driver ko. Pareho kaming nagrant tungkol sa lakas ng pagsara ng car door ni ateng ka-pool ko at nagstop over pa kami sa isang gas station. Siya para jumingle, ako naman ay para bumili ng tubig.

Since I’m out on shoots almost every other day, I tend to find myself in transit a lot more often than ever before. Today was also one of those days, so I thought I’d document all the ways I’ve traveled in and out of Manhattan today. Also, it’s chillllly. Hats and scarves on trains!

8:45am | Cramped N train, as usual. On the way to the office to pick up equipment. 

9:40am | Good old yellow cab, stuck somewhere on Lexington on the upper 40′s. 

9:54am | Obligatory, but isn’t Grand Central a wonder? I’ll never get tired of this place. (Famous last words) 

11:02am | The Metro-North, where I clumsily attempted to eat my breakfast sandwich

2:27pm | Great shoot, I’m exhausted. Back at Grand Central. Another cab.

5:43pm | Getting back on the N train.
