who's the stupid monkey who thought about this?!?

i KNOW you're all gonna agree with me when i say it's a STUPID idea to parade manny pacquiao all around the metro.

gahd. aren't you guys even thinking?!

manila traffic is crazy as it is and you're adding this??? great. just GREAT.

and hello???? FRIDAY... does that ring a bell?! quiapo's already in deep-bumper-to-bumper-shit. and today, it's just gonna get worse. hell, yeah.

if you think i'm ranting away now, imagine how those quiapo-bound-south-of-the-metro (aka, las pinas/p'que/alabang/muntinlupa) people must be feeling. i bet they're all cursing like sailors just about now. i passed by roxas blvd this morning, and the quiapo-bound road is NIGHTMARE. nothing's moving. nothing. zilch. zero. nada. i bet if you put an ant there, the poor lil thing won't be even able to move those tiny, tiny feet of his.

and you know what's even greater about it? aside from the manny pacquiao thing, there's this statue unveiling of doy laurel in pedro gil. yep, pedro gil. same street as the Hyatt Hotel where THE manny "the pacman" pacquiao is billeted. (note the sarcasm, please.) so if you could just imagine OB... vans from different tv and radio stations, the "team pacquiao" convoy (no shit.), the mob of hagad traffic officers (yep, the one always leading the funeral er... entourage? hehehe.) add to that the stupid politicians' convoys who wanted to join the circus that is manny pacquiao's parade, all parked in this tiny, tiny, minute parking area then you'll know EXACTLY what im talking about.

not to mention that the visitors, the band, the whatevers are sitting in the middle of the street. oh, yes! beautiful-gowns-with-matching-imeldific-coifed-hairs-clad-women/barong-tagalog-clad men, not to mention mayor-atienza-in-oh-so-fiery-red-flowery-polo, all sitting in the middle of the street. they left this itsy-bitsy-space on the road that let's one... let me say it again, ONE... no, that doesn't do it... one more try... ONE freaking' car at a time to pass that busy, busy, and oh did i mention BUSY?, highway. imagine, they're all stuck in the shit dump that is roxas blvd.??? kamusta naman uuuuun?!

so yeah. if you're thinking of going out today, think about it twice. err... thrice... a thousand times even. if you think it's worth all the hassle then go.

don't get me wrong though. it makes me proud that manny pacquiao beat the hell out of that train-wreck erik morales (in your face! boo yeah!), putting the Philippines on the top of the boxing heirarchy. but naman. never in the life of me thought that it'd be THIS MUCH of a hassle. ilagay nyo nlng sha sa luneta tApos dun sha puntahan ng tao. o kaya sa esplanade sa macapagal highway nang di naman nakakaabala, di ba?

yun lang.


*******
you backed out.
YOU LOSE.
