I am not around for 3 days now. I miss going around here and I need to let you know that I am here in my brother's house in Cavite. On Wednesday, I fetched my sister in the bus terminal. She was with her kids. We met at the Solid North Bus Terminal. The supposedly 30 minutes of travel from Cubao to Pasay took us 2 hours to get to the destination. I accompanied my sister going to Cavite (to my brother's house) to attend 1st year birthday celebration of my nephew. My sister cannot go alone because she was with her 3 kids. We got home tired and hungry. We ate immediately. It was almost 12 midnight when we arrived. My father, two brothers are here. After eating ans short chit chat, I told them I am going back to Manila. At past 1 AM, I asked my brother to bring me to the bus station. We used his motorcycle. I was in Manila at 3 AM. I went straight to the office and slept for 2.5 hours to prepare for my 6 AM shift work. After work I went to my apartment to rest a bit because if I travel back to Cavite during rush hour, I might end up waiting. And I slept because I did not have enough sleep on Wednesday. On Friday, I went out at 10 PM. True enough, there was no heavy traffic. But when I arrived at Pasay, there were lots of passengers waiting for buses. I tried to wait but never had a chance to get a ride. I went to the mall's basement for the van terminal. The queues were very long. Luckily, the wait time was not that long. I got home to Cavite at past 2 AM.

@jobelbojel We are alone, so we are going to spend a quiet moment at home, with nothing to do.

Yes, life in Metro Manila is not easy. I come and visit my sons in Metro Manila once a month, one in Cubao and the other is in Caloocan City. On November 29 I went to Manila direct from General Santos City. I attended a convention there in General Santos from November 27 to 29 and because we only had half day on November 29 and November 30 was a holiday, I grabbed the opportunity to visit my sons, I took the 4:00 o'clock flight for Manila. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed by an hour. We departed at almost 5pm and arrived at Manila Airport by 6:30pm. It was a smooth flight. I had dinner at wendy's. Then queued at the P to P bus for Cubao. The bus left the airport past 9pm there was a heavy traffic and I slept. When I woke up still we were still at EDSA and I don't know where we were because our bus was in between 2 or more buses so that I could not see the places that we passed. The bus arrived in Araneta Center terminal at around 11pm. I immediately sent text messages to my son in Cubao and I waited for him for a few minutes. I was so tired.

Long weekend causes heavy traffic. Holiday seasons most especially. More commuters and passengers go home to their respective provinces. So expect Friday is jam-packed roads. EDSA is like a huge parking lot. How was your son in Cubao and Caloocan?

Nice of you to assist your sister with the commute considering you had work the next day.
