To Mr. Fernando and all officials of the MMDA,

The new traffic scheme of putting up pink road dividers from Robinson’s Metro East to Sta. Lucia is the most stupid traffic strategy to date.

Instead of its supposed “objective” to decongest the traffic in the area, it only made matters worse. All vehicles are trying to squeeze their way on the right most lane just to get to the malls, or pick up passengers, or turn right to Felix Ave. while the other lane is filled with useless asphalt. Gone are the days were smooth sailing driving along Marcos Hi-way is a certainty during off-peak hours and weekends. Traffic now is even worse before the u-turn scheme was even implemented.

Instead of fragile pink fences and orange barricades, why won’t you spend all your money hiring people to either train all the notorious drivers in the country or security cameras to document all violations on the spot? I had a group who made an ANPR if it means anything. Oh and yeah, separate lanes for motorcycles would be of much help too.

Sincerely,

Risha Lopez

I got this test from Ate Tina and Nikki. Nothing new, really. I took a Myers-Briggs test a few months back with the same result. But lookie lookie, here’s a more detailed explanation of INFJ’s

With three consecutive class suspensions plus the weird law that moves holidays, I am left with a five-day long weekend.

Am I happy? Well, not really. Suspension of classes would just mean more make-up classes, unbearable hell weeks due to postponed classes and of course, the feeling you get whenever you turn on the TV and see the devastation left by the typhoons.

The series of consequences will commence this Tuesday. Hello, stress! We meet again!

Note: The author has been tagged for this meme (and its several other versions) since she could remember. She is grateful that the suspension of classes gave her the opportunity to payback this blogging debt that has accumulated in time. And since she is pressed for time to do other work, she considers this entry her take on all the random facts meme that she has been tagged for and will be tagged, probably in the not so distant future.

Here are the rules for “8 facts”:

• In the 8 facts about [name], you share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. At the end, you tag 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going. Each blogger must post these rules first.
• Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• At the end of the post, a blogger needs to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Such resolutions couldn’t be maintained no matter how hard I try. Blogging once a week is one of them. And it’s really ironic considering that I have no scheduled exams last week. Oh well, nothing really happened last week anyway, that is if you exclude the weekend.
