Ha ha ha. Iba talaga ang Pinoy humor. Were the advertizers thinking of what you and I are thinking? What were you thinking anyway? What was I thinking? How could they? Was it an accident? Was it intentional? Who owns each board? Same or one owner? So many questions but it all leads to one thing. The smart Pinoy humorist. And why did they mix English with Tagalog? The guy who placed the text ad is a genius. And the guy in the picture ad must be in agony no matter what the true size.
ayan kasi, sa sobrang traffic sa hiway, kung anuano ang naiisip namin ni Papa na kalokohan. para hindi mag init ang ulo namin sa hindi umuusad na sasakyan, humor lang ang katapat nyan! hehehe...
I've had my share of traffic jams in and out of Metro Manila. One I can not forget was in 1988 at the Batangas-Laguna Boundary. That portion of the highway had two parallel bridges and the DPWH was making repairs. I do not know what makes drivers try to occupy the left lane when no cars are approaching. This happened on both lanes so there were two lanes going to Manila and two lanes going to Batangas. It took all afternoon till near midnight to untangle the mess. The same thing happened on the Magalang-Concepcion road a year or two after the Pinatubo eruption. It was Holy Thursday and as expected, a large volume of traffic is on its way to the North. But there were also sugar cane trucks from Tarlac on the way to Pampanga to reload or spend the holidays after unloading. The same two lanes of vehicles meeting each other head on accured at the San Roque bridge. This road was the shortest passable road to the North due to lahar in Bamban, Tarlac. I was on a motorcycle so I escaped with ease. I could see and hear babies crying for water or milk under the hot sun of an April noon. Nothing moves. Mothers trying to calm their toddlers. Cars overheating. People alighting from their vehicles with the same facial expression of "what has happened here?"
Maybe, a lot of Pinoys have experienced those kinds of traffic jams that they seldom happen now. They learned their lessons the hard way not to occupy the other lane when traffic comes to a halt or else it would turn into a nightmare.
naku bernie, youll be surprised at traffic here in manila now. not only does your story happen still, but more unimagineable stuff do now. im still trying to collect more photo materials for a possible post on that topic. you either get outraged at those photos or humored by them one thing is sure though, filipinos are truly one of the worst species of drivers.
ay sisterette! glad you visited my blog! o diba, trying hard mag blogging, hehehe.. about the foto, pansin mo ba na ang birdflu billboard e itinabi sa male underwear ad? carter briefs! susme, sabihin bang walang malisya. hahaha...
how is the "no left turn all u turn" program of Fernando? It was ok when I came back a few months back. Siguro sa Edsa lang maayos. Its the volume of vehicles, narrow streets (Spanish influence) and lack of discipline (kasalan na rin ng DOTC-LTO)of drivers kung bakit problema ang traffic dyan sa Metro Manila and the big cities all over the Philippines. Pero may kagandahan din ang traffic. Dahil sa bagal ng usad, walang namamatay kapag may collision. Dito sa hilagang amerika, dahil walang traffic, sinasagad ng drivers ang speed limit kaya kapag may collision, siguradong 2 agad ang patay (yung makina)at serious ang injuries. Totaled agad ang sasakyan. At least dyan, nakakapag kwentuhan pa kayo habang nasa kalsada. dito dapat maliksi at alisto ka dahil sa bilis ng mga kasabay at kasalubong. Bago yung tawagan nyong "sisterhood" at "sisterette" ok yan. Sige hintayin ko lagi ang posting mo. Hindi ako maka relate sa ibang posting dahil hindi ko pa natitikman yung McDo rice burger. Post ka lagi dahil walang matinong mabasa dito. Wala rin makausap na 'itellectual' mababaw lang ang mga puti. iba ang frequency ng brain waves nila kaya medyo nabobo na rin ako.
uy! taga south ka din, mimi? yup, sa may merville to. na traffic kasi kami ni papa while on top of the flyover galing C5. ayun, binaltik mga utak namin so i took the shot while we were stuck on the bridge. hahaha... airport sana kukunan ko pero mas natuwa ako sa billboard. hehehe...
sis straw, ang puso ang puso mo! dont worry, si papa ang nakaisip iphotoshop yang billboard. wala kaming magawa sa sobrang inip during traffic kay kung anuano na nag naiimagine namin, hehehe...
Some may feel squeamish about eating it, but rabbit has a fan base that grows as cooks discover how easy they are to raise — and how good the meat tastes.
This is what heavy traffic does to my visual acuity! I saw this instead of seeing this.

ReplyDeleteTama si Bernie. Masdan mo nga naman yung expression nung mama sa tabing billboard.
Parang naiinggit na nahihiya. (o nanliliit) =)
Lagyan mo kaya ng "Dis" before the word "comfort."
