Jeepney Chronicles: Basta Driver, Sweet Lover
Definition of terms:
1) Jeepney: the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines. You'll know you are in the Philippines when you see this long vehicle made of metal, painted/decorated with religious icons such as Mama Mary, Jesus, Santo Nino (saints in child form ???), random faces of people (most probably the jeepney driver's family members, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera Backstreet Boyz and Nsync I don't know what to think!!!, grammatically incorrect slogans, funny Filipino signages "JUDAS NOT PAY", Dragon Ball Z etc etc. These jeepneys are so eye-catching because you see them un/loading passengers in the middle of the highway. Rock and roll be the almighty drivers and passengers. Fck them road rulez
2) Patok jeepney: a type of jeepney characterized by the following: usual Patok jeeps take the Antipolo-Cubao (vise versa) route; loud eardrum brain damaging music; the jeepney's playlist consists of music that are too.. juvenile to mention (may I interest you to some Filipino version of Bleeding Love (aka Sugat sa Puso) or Umbrella (aka Payong)?); and lastly but most importantly, you know you are in a patok jeepney when you feel like your life is in danger. The driver drives the jeepney 100++ kph, not minding the curves of the road, overtaking at the right side (which is the wrong side), abrupt breaks which can send you flying off the window if you don't hold on to the handle bars, overtaking too fast etc etc

Rode the patok jeepney yesterday and was again afraid I would die somewhere in Sumulong Highway, as I cursed myself with my eyes closed to never, ever ride this kind of jeepney, or to never ride the jeepney again. But since I was there and is very much on my way to the LRT station, I kept my eyes closed and listened to the driver and her chick (girlfriend/fling whatever) flirt with each other (sidenote and a tip: always sit beside the driver when riding jeepneys. The possibility of getting robbed is greatly minimized):

Girl: Alam mo yung ibang jeep, ang gamit nilang pintura sa jeep nila yung mahal. Nanggagaling nga un sa ibang bansa eh. Sabi ko nga sa tropa ko na bumili nun. Ganda kasi.Len rolled here eyes and imagined herself banging her head in the dashboard
Driver: Wow! Sige *laughs a sarcastic laugh* Mangarap kayo! ...Ako kasi..... simple lang mangarap...
Girl: *looks at the front mirror, to look at the driver's eyes* .... Ano un..???
Driver: ....di ka papayag.... baka may magalit.. *looks at the girl then looks away*
3 seconds of silence
Girl: Eh... ano nga un....??? *ngiting aso naman si gaga, pakipot pa, alam naman ibig sabihin*
Driver: ........papayag ka ba?.... papayag... ka ba...?
*SABAY TUMOGTOG ANG BEAUTIFUL GIRLS NI BRUNO MARS* as in seriously timing na timing, it's almost unbelievable
