Writing While Standing. SRSLY?

Using my phone, I am writing this post in an unimaginable standing position.  This idea of writing-while-standing flashed to my head after 30 minutes of joining this long and winding line of passengers waiting for the next Jeepney (headed to Waterfun, Taguig) to arrive.  In this line are people who seem to be very tired based on looks of their faces.  Some of them must have had a long day of work and now rushing to go home to have some rest.  While some are surprisingly energetic, they must have visited the Mall for a short time to buy something.  In my case, I’m headed home from the long day in the office.  And we’re all caught up here to wait in a slow moving string.

I am starting to lose patience waiting for the jeep and that familiar feeling triggered this post to be written.  And for me to keep up the sanity, the only way I am looking at is to turn my impatient reaction to the current situation into something I can read and laugh about when all of this is over.

Every weekdays, from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM (after office hours) these never ending line of people at the north and south side of Market Market build up and it takes a while before it breaks.  This is not something new.  In fact, it is a very common scenario for a Filipino commuter.  So common that everybody seems to react to it as if it is just a normal daily event.  Think of a long thread you dropped on the floor, that’s how complicated it is.

I am pretty sure that the women (by her looks I’d say she is in her middle 20’s) standing before me is struggling to keep herself busy too.  Just like me, I think she is trying to combat the deadly and painful waiting.  You can’t count the more or less 100 times of her glances to her Cellphone and watch followed by a tap on the forehead and a deep breath.

Okay, now it’s moving.  Great!  I guess that is it. My patience is paid up I’m on my way home.  See you later bed!
