On Jeepney Passenger Leg Orientation...

Dear Jeepney Passengers,

It is your unwritten responsibility to sit perpendicular to the seat and never at an angle while riding a jeepney, especially when said vehicle is currently stopped and accepting passengers. This vehicle is not yours, it belongs to the public. As such, you should never occupy space more than the width of your buttocks by sitting at an obtuse angle. This is especially true if you are planning to or might fall asleep. Honestly, I cannot understand why some people find it more comfortable to have their sides supported over their spines.

In relation to this, please do not open your legs more than your hip requires. The comfort factor might be agreeable here, especially as a man, but, again, out of respect and courtesy, please avoid doing so.

Remember that we are all in this together. The faster you orient yourself to accommodate others, the quicker the journey for all of us.

Sincerely,

Your Fellow Jeepney Passenger,
Inggo

On Re-Introductions...

Dear Reader,

As you might have noticed, I haven't posted in more than a year. The primary reason for that is because I've embraced the teachings of Buddhism and attempted to live a life free from desire, thinking that I have to give up this blog in the process. While I still highly respect these teachings, I realize, after two years, that I cannot keep up a life without having an outlet to vent out my anger, especially with plenty of things I have observed that deserve criticism.

That, and I also need some blogs to test out my new web project.

With that said, ladies and gentlemen, I am back.

Sincerely,

Enlightened Ranter,
Inggo
