Today, I wanted to try something new.

Aside from the usual being-almost-late arrival at school every morning, I have decided to try out the LRT going to Baclaran. I think it's called the LRT 1. So after the draining lab class where we had to dissect the muscles of the cat (we were already studying the forearm), we (Kris, Cris, Lili, and I) had lunch at KFC, fondly called "kipsy" by Lili (which is starting to spread to Kris). Most of us ordered the usual: chicken steak. That was one of the cheapest meals there.

After eating, I went out of the campus and waited for a jeepney. I had to ask someone which jeep goes to Recto. I forgot that the vehicles don't go exactly to that area so I went down at Quiapo and walked to the LRT (Recto) Station. It took me awhile to get around to arrive at the Doroteo Jose Station. Whew, my feet were hurting already. A single-journey ticket to Baclaran costed P15. I felt a little better because the LRT was airconditioned. So, I went down at Baclaran, which seemed so busy since it's like Quiapo -- full of stuff to be sold. As I was walking to look for buses going to Cavite, I asked a lady how much were the slippers she was selling. It was kind of expensive. P85. I only had my commute money so, I just walked away.

Crap. I couldn't find any decent buses. I had to walk from Baclaran station going to EDSA, where there was also an LRT station. I should have gone down in that area. Shucks... I took a Jasper Jean bus. Bad move. The vehicle was so slow and the air conditioner was not that efficient in cooling the place. At least I had transportation. I went down near Kingsland Village and rode a GMA jeepney. The driver was so annoying because I had to remind him that he didn't give my change yet. Annoying!!!

I have been travelling since 1PM. Oh gosh, I arrived an hour ago. 4:30PM!!! What a waste of time.

I will just be sticking to riding a jeep going to Mabini, taking a San Agustin / Erjohn & Almark / Starliner / Lorna Express bus to Robinson's Pala-pala, riding a jeepney to Island Park, and walking home. That's an easier way. I won't get so tired of walking. My poor feet.
