I really am tamad… especially when going to places. I always ask my dad or my sis or BIL to drive me whenever I’m going somewhere, or if there’s no one available then I’d take the cab. But since the price of gas went skyrocketing, I have to start being practical. Before, whenever I have a client, I spend P1000 on gas alone. That’s P500 on the way to the album supplier and P500 again when I’ll get the finished album and deliver it to my client. I think that’s too much and I just couldn’t afford it anymore, so, yesterday, I went to the album supplier by commuting. I went to Quiapo first to have the photos printed (because the album supplier won’t give me discount on printing services)… the trip was okay, except for the traffic because of a group that’s rallying. Bad timing talaga ko! It took me almost 2 hours just going to Quiapo but it only cost me P17 for the jeepney fare. Yep, I took a jeep because I’m scared of FX taxis, cabs are too expensive, and buses are rare. When I got to Quiapo, I had to wait for an hour for the printing to finish so I just walked around Hidalgo and looked for expired films for my new lomo hobby. I found one store which still had a few expired rolls available and the owner talked to me about lomography. She asked a lot of questions and I was patient enough to answer her, medyo makulit lang because she couldn’t understand what’s the art daw in lomo and ano daw mapapala don and why daw would lomo hobbyists invest on a P2000 plastic camera, eh plastic nga. Hay nacoo, kaya nga hobby eh. And I don’t get her… she’s interested in selling lomo cameras so baket kailangan pang kwestuyinin niya yung mga lomo aritst about their art. She should focus na lang on her target market… nangengelam pa eh. Haha! So anyway, I bought all of her expired films… that’s 7 rolls, 12 exp each. I couldn’t decide where to each lunch so I just went back to the printer to wait for my photos.

After getting my photos, I was thinking of taking a jeep again back to España then get off Lacson Ave. and take a jeep going to Tayuman. But I remembered the rally and thought I couldn’t bear to be stuck on traffic again so I took my chance and just walked going to Rizal Ave ext. and took a jeep there that would pass by Tayuman. It was my first time to commute going to Tayuman. I remember when I was in college, we were still living in Malabon so my main means of transport was the LRT. Then one day LRT was down because it was brownout, I think, and my friend had to guide me pa what jeep to take going to Monumento and where to get off. She was scared for me, baka daw masiraan yung jeep. Haha! Kakahiya! So anyway, I made it to Tayuman with no problem and walked a block na lang going to the album supplier. From the album supplier, I dropped by SM San Lazaro to look for something that I didn’t find. I wasn’t in the mood to eat lunch anymore so I just headed home. I took a jeep again going back to España, but the jeep had to take another way because it was really traffic, so I ended up walking 4 blocks going to España. When I was finally there, I could feel my migrane coming already so I just took a cab na on my way home.

I left home at 10am and got back at 4pm. I’ve been gone for 6 hours and spent P190 on fares. Not bad huh? I hope next time my trip’ll be shorter na without rallies. And I might start using na din sunscreen. Grabe! Nog-nog na since I went to La Union! Anyway, I haven’t posted yet anything about the Litratong Pinoy EB. I’m still waiting for my photos from DigiPrint. I used my Vivitar Ultra Wide and Slim for the first time and had the negatives scanned and will be expecting it tomorrow. I’ll post about the EB and the pictures then, in time for LP’s theme - Kalayaan.
