Walkway Drama

For the past two years that I've been working here in the Paseo de Roxas area of Ayala Avenue (no, I'm not a street sweeper), I almost always passed by the long Dela Rosa walkway connecting the Ayala Malls (SM, Glorietta, Landmark, and Greenbelt) to the commercial buildings along Ayala Avenue. Today, iL take a peek on what happened this afternoon as I stroll along the route.

Here's a thread of text messages my mom and I had kanina while I'm walking in the walkway...

Mommy-Smart: obi, kumain ka ba pag gising? dito pa kami bon sa index. dala mo baon mo? nasa ref. asan kna?
Obi-Ako: dala ko baon. Glo nko. magpayong kayo. uulan.
Mommy-Smart: ok. nagpp hair spa kami. punta ka din dito minsan. maganda sila mag asikaso. mag hair spa ka bago MAUBOS buhok mo!
Obi-Ako: may lakad ako sa ATC sa sabado. kasama ko leo.
Mommy-Smart: sa ibang araw na lng. ok dito. magpunas ka ng likod mo bago ka pumasok ng AIRCON!
Obi-Ako: okz.
Mommy-Smart: ok. *smiley*

Mama's Boy na Mama's Boy ang dating ko no.

I always have to suffer moving behind sloth-paced bystanders when passing on the walkway! Oks, casual strolling is forgivable if it's inside the mall... it's a mall anyway! But outright sluggishness on a busy rush-hour walkway when you're not incapacitated is just stupid to say the least!

Kung ang mga bulsa nyo e puno na ng salapi at ang trippings nyo na lang sa buhay e rumampa sa Ayala, e sana makuha nyo namang magbigay daan sa mga mumunting empleyado na nagmamadali pumasok para sa kakarampot na sweldong kailangan nilang pagtrabahuhan na kakaltasan pa ng malaki ng gobyerno para pang aral ng mga anak nila sa abroad!

Ang sikip ng walkway. Both mall-bound and Ayala-bound routes are sure to be congested during rush-hours. Office workers were either rushing to go home for their families or rushing to go to the office to finish whatever pending works they need to do. The only way for anyone to go to their destinations the quickest way is to brisk walk, WHICH majority of the people passing by the walkway around those times is exactly doing. Tapos biglang makaka-abot ka ng isang EPAL na hindi mo alam kung nagpapraktis lumakad sa catwalk o napagkamalang Luneta ang walkway at namasyal!

I mean, would you be that careless enough to strut where everybody's on a bottleneck behind you?

MADAPAKA SANA!

If you happen to pass by the walkway recently, there's a good chance you've seen a couple of guys in red shirts and caps running here and there. They are finalists for the Marlboro Red Racing School activities being held here in Makati. Eventually, they will be thinned down to several participants and actually will race in Subic on the coming months.

Fortunately, one of my Justice League tropa made it as a participant of the said event. He deserves it anyway. I remember this day when we were heading to Libis and he was literally pushing his car to the limits, almost shoving fender to fender with a God-knows-how many wheeler cargo truck that behemoth was.

Congrats DD! Galingan mo repaks. Uwian mo ko ng racing cap tsaka nung bebots na nagpapaputok ng champagne at pumupulupot sa mga nananalo sa Gran Prix. Hehe.
