What a Start for the Week!

I came from a long weekend. It was indeed very long because I got bored on the three-day rest. It’s so humid and hot and sticky lately. Not to mention that I was bed-ridden for most of that “rest”. Never been that sick for a longer time.

And today I am not really excited to go to office as I know a lot of to do’s are waiting for me. And I have no choice but to face them all. Or else, they will just pile up!

Oh it’s market day today in our town! It means TRAFFIC. Alright, the AC of Wyt is cool though so I better relax while I listen to the soft music played on the radio. People and motorbikes are everywhere. They just popped here and there. Relax. It is still a beautiful day.

Nearing that part of my driving where a sort of junction is, I pressed my horn to warn the white SUV from directly going through the traffic as it emerged from a side street. That was not so close. Then from my rearview mirror I can see that this white Montero has other SUV’s behind which look like a convoy for election candidates (there were no banners but the hazard lights are all on). As I noticed that they were in a hurry, I slowed down to give way. My patience turned to irritation. The convoy was actually cutting off the vehicles not just on their path but also with the other direction! Even on the bridge, where overtaking is prohibited, this convoy did not mind it at all. What made me angry though was when the white SUV went through the other lane (still on the bridge!) to almost colliding a big truck driving up the bridge! And the whole convoy followed! There were not just a few vehicles now, there was a number! Grrrr!!! Why do these drivers have to agitate the other motorists? What’s the hurry for?

As I look the convoy in front of me, there were negative thoughts playing on my mind. Do they own the road? Do they even pay their taxes lawfully? If they were indeed election candidates, what more can they do if they are in the position? I hope there were no accidents caused by those stupid motorists! Are the SUVs bought from their own pockets? I was really in such a bad mood that morning. Thankfully I was able to cut off the thought as I safely reached the office.

My day ended well though. Inspite of the load at work, I was still able to have my most needed peace and rest.
