Its almost 9am and I'm stillin the bus going for work. Yeah I'm late now. I have been waiting for the bus but just like me its late. I just hope the boss have a good morning so he won'tscold me. Its cloudy day today and we have a very comfortable weather. The temperature is low and I think this will stay thisafternoon. Have you ever been late for work?

Are you in Manila? Because most likely you're going to be late due to heavy traffic.

@ilocosboy Yes, I hate traveling here in Manila because traffics are everywhere. Even the trains are so annoying.

Been late at least once last year and that was because there was an unexpected flooding on my way to work. Was late for an hour. Hope you got off clean with your boss.

Philippine traffic is so atrocious. What time did you start waiting for the bus? 5-6 am?

I hope our government can address to this problem. In my province they are making the by-pass road wider so more vehicles can be accommodated for faster transportation.

Don't you just hate public transport when it's not working out for you. I've had that feeling most of the time.
