I realized that if you watch your surroundings while travelling, you’ll get to see a lot of interesting things on the street. I did this yesterday while in a jeepney on my way to work. It’s not advisable to do it this way, however, because letting your mind fly while you’re in a public transport may cause you more troubles than you bargain for. Anyway, I didn’t see anything as remarkable in Philippine streets as mobile homes, perhaps, but here are a few observations:
(1) a dog lying (sleeping? dead?) face down, all limbs askew, in the middle of a busy street
(2) an old lady carrying a broken black umbrella, reading a newpaper while slumped on the sidewalk
(3) a young lady with a mole exactly like mine walking toward the opposite direction, on my side of the jeepney
(4) a pair of lovers saying their goodbyes
(5) a man frantically giving directions to a toddler (his?) trapped inside their car
I’m sure a lot other things happen in the sidelines, well beyond my perspective. People live their lives as you try to go through yours.
