Traffic Rant

Ok, so when you got called for a job interview at 2:30 in the afternoon and you're asked if you can get there and you know their Makati building is JUST 1.5km/1 mile away and you figure you'll get there within an hour, you say: "ok, see you by 3:30"

Big mistake. Makati's friday afternoons are known for their heavy traffic but nothing would have prepared me for this afternoon. For 100 meters, I spent one hour between Magallanes and Buendia, thinking that if curses can only kill, the people at DPWH/MMDA would have been dead, no, make that buried TWICE over by now.

Two things I discovered this afternoon:

First, as much as 40% of that crucial stretch of road known as the South Super Highway are unusable right now due to road repairs, making a gridlock that reached as far away as Nichols.

Second, the MMDA, in their infinite amount of wisdom, has decided to lift the truck ban for afternoons!

And I there I thought oil prices were prohibitive.

Baller Bands Site up.

For a while now been seeing these on the wrists of every other person I see.

Since I owned bought my first baller id, these bracelets have been driving me nuts. So I created a site to gather their histories, and track news about baller bands like LiveSTRONG, and the Pink Cancer Bracelets.

Also had some short stuff on the history of baller bands.

Some things are still up in the air, like that of Nike Baller IDs but i'll update them by weekend.
