mrt? bus? fx?

I've been working in Makati now for about 4 months. And the commute is just pure hell. Nyahaha! I've gotten used to it though. Now I join the symphony of snores by my fellow fx-ers.

Going to Makati from Marikina is a no-brainer. But going home? Ohhh the choices. Should I take the bus? MRT? Jeepney? FX? Taxi? Fly?

Taxi is a no-no. Unless you're rich, then by all means go and flag those demons down. (Yes, I still have a thing against most - not all - taxi drivers)

MRT? Sounds like a time and money-saver right? MRT = long lines and pushing! There's a long line for the jeepney that takes you to the station. At the station, there a long line for the tickets. And there's an even longeeerrrrrrrrrr 1000000x line to get inside. If you're lucky, you can get on the 1st or 2nd train. But I usually get on the 3rd one. Then you walk from Araneta to Gateway. And another long line (now bearable) for the FX. ETA : 2-3 hours
(see that look on that lady's face? pain. dread. the females have it easier though. i passed by the male cart and it smelt of mm.. men. i took this picture with someone's elbow on my kidneys and some girl's face stuck to my boobs. oh what joy)

FX behind Enterprise? This is ok though if you leave before the clock strikes 6. But if you get there at around 6:00:01, you'll be on a 2-3hour road trip. And then you'll have to get off at Concepcion and ride another jeepney to NGI. ETA : 1- 3 hours. Depending on your luck.

Best way to get home so far? Bus to Megamall and then FX to Marikina. Minus the bomb threats and if it's NOT raining, ETA is just around 1.5 hours. Awesome huh?

I really should learn how to fly.
