			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And finally I&#8217;m home!</p>
<p>I was supposed to leave the office at 6AM sharp but due to some concerns with my team that needs to be relayed to the Management, I wasn&#8217;t able to check out the time and just go on with the flow in discussing some concerns with team members and colleagues.</p>
<p>Leaving the office late, even if its just few minutes is the thing that I avoid. One, I might have gotten myself to do some additional loads. And Second, it&#8217;s so difficult to get a cab when its late especially on weekdays. Katipunan is one road that Cab drivers are trying to avoid during peak hours. </p>
<p>I was in front of Eastwood City Mall at around 6:20 AM earlier trying to get a cab on my way home. The first taxi that stopped said he is going South&#8230; second is to Marikina&#8230; next is to Makati&#8230; until the 6th cab who stopped said he isn&#8217;t going to Fairview. I asked, &#8220;Where are you heading, then?&#8221; He told me, Makati. I moved my ass out and waited for the next cab. After 3 more cabs who declined my charm, the 6th cab who told me that he is heading to Makati stopped by once again and this time asking me to jump in!</p>
<p>Driver: &#8220;Tara na, ihahatid na kita!&#8221; (Jump in! Let&#8217;s go!)<br />
Me: Not saying anything&#8230; (whispering&#8230; Ass hole)<br />
Driver: &#8220;Uulan na! Mababasa ka.&#8221; (Rain is about to come. You might get wet!)<br />
Me: Still not saying anything and hailed an ABC Cab.</p>
<p>E kung hindi ka ba naman tungaw! Abnoy ka pala, kanina tinataboy mo ako ngayon bigla mo na lang akong isasakay! Ugok!</p>
<p>I hate taxis who are so picky of the destinations of their customers. Why do you have to write &#8220;Anywhere in Luzon&#8221; on your unit if you are just going to Makati!? I have this sudden feeling of starting a blog on which taxis to take and to avoid.</p>
<p>Ggggrrrrr this pisses me off! On the other hand, ABC Taxi is the best policy!</p>
