#Hugot Lines From EDSA Traffic

Are you one of those running late for school or work due to the traffic jam in major thoroughfares around the metro? It sucks, right? But good news is, you are not alone.

Most of us have to endure the terrible traffic during rush hour in major roads, most especially in EDSA. I have quite a number of 'late' stories to share with you, but I will choose not to share it anymore. On the other hand, this undeniably annoying situation we encounter almost every day also paved the way for this blog.

I am definitely sure you are also fond of making 'hugot'. I call it, 'hugutan mula sa nararamdaman'. My friends and I have the habit of doing that literally every single day that we are together. From crossing the street to unintentionally leaving someone in the pantry after lunch break, these 'hugot' lines already became part of our lives.

I know you have those moments too.

And so this morning, while I was on my way to work, I decided to make my day productive instead of getting dismayed over the EDSA traffic by jotting down 'hugot' lines from the annoying situation I was in.

I know some of you may be able to relate with some of these 'hugot' lines:

"Minsan talaga wala ka nang magagawa kundi ang maghintay. Pero minsan nakakapagod na rin."

"Buti pa ang traffic may forever. Tayo wala."

"Darating din tayo doon. Konting tiis lang."

"Makakamove on ka rin, kahit paunti-unti."

"Kailangan nating pagdaanan 'to. Makakarating din tayo kung saan tayo dapat."

"Buti pa 'yung mga sasakyan sa EDSA nakakausad. Ikaw kaya kailan?"

"Palagi na lang ganito. Hindi ka pa ba napapagod?"

"Akala ko makakamove on na 'ko. Hindi pa rin pala."

"'Wag kang magpadalus-dalos. Baka makasakit ka."

"Matutong magpasensya. Ganyan talaga eh."

"At least hindi lang ako ang hindi pa nakakamove on." 

"Hirap sa'yo mas pinili mong ma-stuck diyan eh."

"Magmove on naman tayo!"

"Hindi ko 'to ginusto."

"Nakakasawa na."

"Kailan mo ba 'ko tatantanan? Sinabi nang ayoko na eh."


And so my friends, instead of being annoyed with the EDSA traffic or with whatever situation you find unpleasant, try writing down 'hugot' lines instead. You will be surprised with how deep you can be sometimes. :)
