Why Philippine Public Transportation Sucks

Public transportation here in the Philippines suck. It sucks so much ass that it doesn’t make any difference between walking 20 kms. under the scorching heat of the sun and the riding some screwed up public means of transportation. Let me elaborate. Here in the Metro, you can either ride:

the MRT - and get yourself mugged, groped and squeezed the living crap out of you during rush hours. (Rush hour = 24/7) While it is said to be "the cheapest and most convenient" means of getting around the Metro, I say it can be the most stressful of all public utility transportation units. It’s always packed with smelly orcs and sweaty fat office boys wearing iPods thinking they’re some techno dude or something. I really hate it when it becomes so packed because I always I find my face squished at some douche’s hairy armpit.

the bus - and be paranoid about getting robbed, raped and be seated beside some old grumpy lady or some smelly douche with hairy armpits. Also, it will take you 2 hours for every 20 kms. It’s that retarded. The "good" news is, they now installed television and DVD sets so passengers will not get bored. The "bad" news is, they only show Jolina and Marvin Agustin movies. (more…)

Chapter 1.2 : Onwards to Laurus

Chapter 1.1 : The Awakening 

    Legend says that those who enter the gates of Laurus will enjoy everlasting happiness and immense wealth. For thousands of years hundreds of people have tried to enter Laurus. Only a handful succeeded. It is said that the people of Laurus protect a secret… And that the secret is the Key. But the road to Laurus is nowhere near easy. It was built on a steep mountain range, with the intent of making it hard for those unwanted visitors. "The Jagged Pass", as it was written in the Tomes of Pluto, "is the only path towards Laurus. While it may seem that there are hundreds of paths that lead to the city, all but the Jagged Pass will fail you to get there." Laurus was said to be built by monks of Ganee-shah.

    The Boy now walks towards the Kingdom of Laurus. It was a normal day. The sun is up, its warmth calmly touching his face. He could hear the distant river and occational splashes of the carps to his east. Even the birds were out and about. He was leaving the hazardous part of the forest. He didn’t want to encounter any troubles today. He decided that today is too good of a day for stressful encounters.
