"Ganito kami sa Makati,.."

Yesterday, at around 5 in the afternoon i visited a friend of mine who's staying in Makati. I got off the MRT in Guadalupe station, rode the jeepney going to South Ave. Weather is not that good, its humid, and the thought that it would be raining soon makes me feel sick in the head. I'm seated beside the drivers seat, as always, and that is for the reason that i hate the "ma bayad daw po,." scenarios; most especially when i feel so tired. Well, as expected, its traffic because its a monday and its rush hour already. But the "Makati Day" stuff added extra flavor to the traffic jam. I heard from the people at the back that the said celebration started Saturday and until yesterday, Monday, the celebration is still on.

The funny thing started when a mid-aged lady, seated right behind the driver caugth my attention. She is very irritated about the traffic, the feastivity and Makati City itself. Before i know it, she's already stating her claims about the city. She's even mentioning Mayor Jojo Binay and the idea of the mayor to run as president of the country. Of course i don't have any idea of what the lady is saying, but its really interesting. And so, i suddenly had this idea that Makati is not really that good enough. (heheh!) I can still recall when i was able to catch Mayor Jojo Binay during the Presidentiables Forum in UP, golly, he cant say anything aside from the words "Makati" or "That's what we are doing in Makati" (hehehe!) that was really funny.

And to end this short clip, i remember the lady's face while mimicking Mayor Jojo Binay's famous line,..
Lady:"Ganito kami sa Makati,.."
