#1 ...that feeling you get when you initially want to take the jeepney ride home in the hopes that while getting there you'll have yourself a chance to be in deep contemplation (because for some reason we get inspired to be pensive upon riding on a moving object) but then a person whom you know comes along, sits beside you and so you're obliged to make an effort to indulge yourself in small talks all throughout the trip...
#2 ...getting your fare paid by a person who doesn't share a closeness with you as a friend but someone who knows you (and worse, that someone is an old neighbor or your parents' workmate whom you've met in company parties and all) and having to say thank you after the rather generous deed... it's a protocol we need to follow, I know but i still feel uncomfortable with it...
#3 ...or having someone you know who is older than you sit in the same vehicle you are in and you wonder "is he/she gonna pay for my fare?"...and then you keep glancing at his/her for any hint of generosity (and for my case, another embarassing moment)...
#4 ...and lastly, thinking that that person you know has already paid your fare and you say "thank you" to him/her and he/she would have to say "i'm sorry, but i never paid for yours"...and so you pull out your coins from your pocket while the other passengers stare at you (and you know damn well that they're all laughing on the inside because that's what you would do too when a person other than you is being humiliated)...
Yes, all these four happened to me... I seriously need a car... I hope my dad gets to read this... x_x
8 cared enough to read this thing:

As much as possible, I don't want any acquaintances riding the same jeepney with me. Uncomfortable rin.
wala jud nahitabo nako na abi nako nabayaran nako.
ang style ana, magbayad ka. Siya na bahala mag interject na 'ui, wag na! nabayaran na taka ug apil'.
to isabel: "contra" gud...it used to be a very popular video game back in the day...wait, u did have a childhood right? o.o haha...
to maylabelle: HAHAHA! mang-disown jud lagi daun! i knew it. that is so mai-mai. xD hay naku mai si papa ay lagi lang nag-ooffline sa tuwing akoy magsisign-in sa ym... X_X
to rian: LOL...lucky you...thanks for the tip...haha...i forgot to add that i tend to sweat a lot whenever these things happen to me... x_x
Was wondering why too? Why most people, I especially, contemplate more and space out in the jeepney. Most of the time, I'd have to be nudged to get myself back to earth. LOL.
But yeah. Riding jeepneys is ME time. It sucks when a TEACHER, an acquaintance and even a friend shows up and your obliged to talk to make things less awkward!
@procne: speed does things to people's heads... xD
uncomfy jud basta u feel like being in one of ur "episodes" and someone u know comes along and ruins the whole plan... x_x
