Anne Curtis takes the MRT to see Kylie Minogue!

07.05.2011 - On the way home while on the road... I actually saw this trending on social media while walking home, I just happen to catch Anne Curtis sending her tweet after she arrived from her travel to Sidney Australia a few hours.

Interesting to see this bubbly woman in her adventures in the city. Actually, she was running late for a major concert of for Kylie Minogue who was in the country, and I was wishing the tickets where not that expensive. I like to expereince local concerts, but it is an investment worth it if you have the budget to spend away foreign acts coming to the country.

Ever wonder if she's going to get volunteers to Do The Locomotion on stage? Local celebrities like Ms. Curtis certainly have the following to take notice about her excietment in having the experience to go to these concerts. But what makes it noticeable is her and a couple of friends taking a public mass trasit service like the MRT 3.

The Philippine Road Laws is merely JUST a Suggestion.

05.09.2011 - Late afternoon the central business district has been clogged with mind bending stressful traffic.

Everyday the local motorists would be dodging each other and make hell for most of everyone heading home or for those about to go to work in their night shifts.

The problem is not about running out of roads in the Philippines. Its actually lack of discipline and conjested public utility vehicles.

The jeepney is the national vehicle of the country. Its iconic for so long that it got stuck without evolution unlike the Volkswagen Beetle that had a new look recently.

Train Commuters: Don't Block The Doors?!

04.12.2011 - The MRT Metro Rail Transit has been one of the basic public mass transportation service in the Philippines. How can anyone have chosen to take the bus or the jeepney for something fast and convenient? But the MRT has been showing its age lately since it has been operational since 2001, and the neglect is certainly showing with mishaps and lack of trains recently.

Most commuters take the train during peak hours because it is fast and voiding traffic. But recently it has become challenging for the most packed transportation service along with the LRT-1 (Light Rail Transit). But most of the time, it's not always that crowded in certain hours. The mornings and after-hours take that bulk, but recently the trains have taken a lot of hours to arrive and they have not been on time lately.
