A DeLiCiOuS MRT RiDe

A delicious MRT ride.
By Aly Abaquin

I've tasted and tried to experience the MRT (Metro Rail Transit)again. Going to Ayala for my appointments that is … and its been a welcome and humbling experience to see people in the rush going to their own psychedelic lives.

It was a thrill and the same time an eye opener. Firstly it was a welcome respite and it was conveniently fast to go to Ayala and then just walk down and take a cab then fly....

As a freelance Marketing Consultant my schedules are erratic and sometimes very hellish....It was always a ritual of sorts to go to Ayala MAKATI - first need to navigate the Makati traffic then play look for a parking routine. Then hail a cab for you to take you to the nearest Salcedo, Legaspi or Greenbelt due to the fact that your car is being baby sitted by the parking attendant -for that precious parking space and taking it out -You'll be thrown into the asphalt jungle of Makati and be open prey to Crocodile cops or take that chance for a 3 hours side parking kidda thing.. towing peek-a boo nightmare - sort of now you see you car now you don’t kindda thing then pay a horrendous fee.….. GRRRGGGGG!!!

After experiencing that routine for the past years why not take the damn MRT since the car is now in the hospital so to speak….

So solution..for a month take the MRT and be innovative with your meeting schedules.

As I did it was inconvenient at first but sooner it tasted to be a good relief to hear and be near people again...and see people from all walks of life. It never seem to be so deliciously incredible to be near and feel the pulse of different kinds of people….. Been driving alone so long…..I think…

So experience the ride again… as I did deliciously tasted the ride of life.
