Crazy People Were Out On The Road Last Night

I was on my way home from Eastwood at around 1AM last night -- after dinner, drinks and a fantastic movie -- when I met Crazy Person #1. I was driving down Libis towards the U-Turn under the flyover when this motorcycle with no tail light almost screeched to a halt right in front of my car and JUST DECIDED to veer left and go up the flyover. I got royally pissed at what he did that I slowed down and honked my horn on him for a full 6 seconds. The a$&hole, far from being apologetic, arrogantly turn his head towards me and activated his weng-weng. Pwede ba?!

I proceeded towards my usual route via Edsa. Miraculously, traffic was pretty light (traffic conditions lately, due to constructions all around, were horrendous even at the oddest hours). Until I hit the Magallanes flyover. Vehicles were slowing down and changing lanes. Apparently, there was a Pajero up ahead with its blinkers on. Poor guy, I thought, to have your car break down at this time of the night. What wasn't apparent until I was a few cars from it was that it wasn't stalled after all. It was, in fact, moving IN REVERSE DOWN THE FLYOVER. Trucks, jeepneys, cars and buses -- all of us-- were swerving to avoid this incredibly stupid driver and his vehicle. What?! Was he planning to back up 400 meters down a highway so he can go up the SLEX flyover instead?? Ang tanga, I swear. And damn inconsiderate!


Of course, people like these just get away with it, right?! Grrrr...

The Other Boleyn Girl was a cool movie. Scarlett Johansson was refreshing and Eric Bana was gorgeous, but Natalie Portman ROCKED the movie! Enough said. Catch it in theaters this weekend!

Only in the Philippines can we hit the hazard lights and get away with anything.

I'm trying it on other things (say work, relationships, even dreams) and it works fine.

The trick is finding the hazard switch.
