Season's Greetings!

Happy Valentine.......I mean Merry Christmas!



Hold on let me get a clearer view because that nest of electrical wires is blocking everything.


There we go. 

Merry Christmas everyone! Is this a case of laziness, forgetfulness, or something else? Cherry Mobile is renting these billboards but do they not have time to coordinate their ad campaigns to be seasonly appropriate? Where is the Valentine's Day ad? These pictures were taken on February 12th. I know Christmas starts early in the Philippines but this is a little too early.

And those electrical wires!  Don't get me started. So thick and low that you can't see the billboard and in some cases you can't see the traffic lights either.  No wonder traffic here is slow.  With all the low hanging wires no one can tell if the light has changed.

  1. What difference does it make if the traffic light can be seen or not? It's not like Filipinos follow rules of the road anyway.

    1. How about when the traffic light turns green and you still can't go because everyone was rushing through the yellow and the red and now the intersection is blocked!

    2. The dotted lines goes down the center of your car and not your car between the lines. Got one of our drivers crying a week or so back. Pulls up from a side street to turn right. Looks left and lets 2 pass and just watches the ones that passed and pulled out in front of the third one. Guy stopped about 2 foot from hitting our car and our driver goes blissfully about her way completely unaware there were 3 cars. What did I hear?

      "I don't remember that". Of course you don't because you did not even look around.

      Then after about 10 minutes and someone else in the car backed me up:

      "I saw him". THEN WHY DID YOU PULL OUT IN FRONT OF HIM"?????

      So she goes in the kitchen to cry then walks out of the house and sat out front. Did not go back in the house.
