Husband and I would usually go to work riding a bus. It’s easier that way, we would sit and sleep and then walk to work upon arriving the busy capital of Makati. But on this particular day, June 6 (the start of classes) all the bus seems so full. It didn’t help that husband is on his way to catch his flight to Iloilo while I would be commuting all alone and all the bus going to work seems very much jam-packed! I had no choice but to stand up. That’s good one hour of standing up, good exercise I must say. ^_^
The men (who I guess is 40% of the population on the bus) all of a sudden fell asleep – that’s one good tactic to ignore a very pregnant me standing up in the middle of the bus! And that’s one good sign that they are somehow conscientious that some pregnant lady is standing while they were sitting pretty. I wanted to sing UPUAN by Gloc 9!
Kayo po na nakaupo
Subukan niyo namang tumayo
At baka matanaw,
At baka matanaw ninyo,
And tunay na kalagayan ko…
I would not complain. Never. Or at least i tried. They have the right to sit, they paid for that anyways. But when it’s good 45 minutes of standing already, with 2 bags full of what-nots and my tummy is asking for breakfast and I still want to sleep and I am PREGNANT for Christ sake! I asked myself, where’s the Priority Seat???
And then so suddenly, A WOMAN taps my back and gave me her seat. A WOMAN! I wonder if ever there’s a man who saw that but these men should have seen what that poor woman did. Exchanges places with me. That was sooo sweet of a gesture, God bless that lady!
So if ever you’re lost in this side of the planet, don’t be surprised! There’s NO MORE Gentlemen here! No more!
How about you? Is there any gentlemen left in your place? Tell me I am wrong with this. I will be more than glad to know if there’s someone left of that extinct species of men wherever part of the world you are. ^_^
aah.. uu yan din drama ko noon. nakow sa MRT naman mga babae pa nagtutulakan, nakakainis. minsan nga mas gusto ko pa dun sa mga last trains kase di nagtutulakan mga lalake.
buntis ka nga pala ano? wahaha
ay teh iniisip ko nga kung hindi ba halata tyan ko. super dress naman ako at umbok nmn tong tyan ko pra di nila mkita.
kalowka ng bongga! eheheh
ayyy.. kakainis no? naexperience ko na din yan, at pareho tayo, babae pa nagbigay ng upuan sakin. kainis tlga >.<
nakakahiya pa pag babae nagbigay ng seat teh, kasi nakakaawa rin
if i am not pregnant no big deal naman to eh.
last time, mas may malaki pa tyan saken nakatayo rin, lucky ako that time kasi may kaopisina akong nakasabay, so upo galore ako. pero sya, wawa
hays. buhays. heheh
i wonder ate niks?? si marc ba eh andon?? nyahahaha!! MCTI bayan??
mga sambahe sila!!
>> pero naman kasi, hindi kapa yata mukhang preggy!!
ay hindi ko napansin si marc! ^_^ oo MCTI un teh, wla ng iba pa.
nakow ung dress ko kanina malaki na tyan ko dun teh! so halatang buntis na tlga.. siguro pag lalake malabo lng mata pra di mapansin tyan ko, si ate na mabait nkita nya tummy ko eh
I guess in this part of the world (Philippines), sad to say, none. There are no gentleman during rush hours.
Dito sa Japan hinde uso ang nagbibigay ng seats sa babae,buntis ka man o matanda(T_T)
