Rain, Taxi

It's raining hard, I feel sleepy. What more appropriate thing can I post today than this dull photo I took about two weeks ago?



That was the cab that denied to take us to the office. Bad taxi driver. When it's raining, like today's super heavy rain, it really is difficult to get a cab.

Earlier, I was lucky to get a cab while just walking to P. Burgos (where I usually wait for one). The driver, however, wanted to add some precious P30.00 in my fare. I brought down the "add-on" cost to P20.00, which I think was a reasonable amount (the P10.00 addition to taxi fares, plus another P10.00 for being thankful for the ease of getting a cab in a rainy Wednesday morning).

Today's taxi ride was strange and interesting since, ta-da, the driver was a Caucasian. Distracted from being hungry (I get so distracted very easily!), I wasn't able to strike up a conversation.

As I left the cab, he asked if I was a teacher (strange again, do I look like a teacher?). I said no, then asked him where did he come from. He said he's a Filipino with a Spanish blood. Yeah, and speaking a foreign language.

I wish I was able to take a photo of him and post it here. The Filipino taxi driver with a Spanish blood (and a foreign twang), driving a Nevada cab.

By the way, I find it difficult and inefficient if I try to post every single day. So I revise my earlier position - I'd blog at least once a week, plus bulletin/announcement posts. Have fun, thortz! :)
