nervous breakdown

I was sitting in my car, in the traffic (as usual), when all of a sudden I started panicking, I felt suffocated, couldn’t breathe and had the strong urge to scream. I was snapping out of my senses. I was on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. Malapit na akong mabaliw sa super heavy traffic.

Pagod na ako, gusto ko ng makauwi agad. Gusto ko ng magpahinga. Ano ba yan! And I am here, lucky to reach my home in two hours. Madalas, lampas pa ng two hours.

What did Secretary Abaya say? It’s a sign of progress? “We should encourage our people to take the public transpo”.
Sige nga, mag jeep nga kayo ng mga kabinete araw-araw papuntang office at mga meetings nyo. Daanan nyo ko sa bahay para meron akong kasabay.

Ayusin nyo ang MRT pareho sa Europe and US, sige, mag e MRT na lang ako papuntang office.

Grabe naman yan. 15 minutes lang ang layo ng bahay namin sa office ko, pero 1 hour and 15 minutes inaabot.
And that was before. Ngayon, two hours and 15 minutes. And you call this progress. For lack of anything better to say, this government gives the lamest reasons. Pwede ba, maghire naman kayo ng city planners, yung merong mga edukasyon, training and experience in road, traffic, transportation study, planning and implementation. Puro kayo trial and error. In the meantime, you are ruining our lives by taking away our precious time and life.

Mantakin mong magkano ang nauubos namin sa gasolina habang pausad usad na parang pagong sa kalye.

Pwede ba pumunta nga kayo sa kanto ng EDSA at Pasong Tamo sa gilid ng Alphaland, tumayo nga kayo mag-isa ha, walang mga amuyung, at pumila para sa MRT sa init ng araw, ulan, dilim, at langhapin ang alikabok at usok ng libu-libong sasakyan na nagre-rebolusyon ng krudo habang nakatirik sa traffic.

Get me out of here!
