This weekend has been a day of utter joy for the work force. Almost all have gotten each 13th-month pay, the money allotted by many for shopping sprees. I was initially grinning ear to ear until Yuletide traffic surely took that joy away.

Terrible traffic surprised me as I went home from Cavite to Bulacan yesterday. The South Expressway was not an impressive express at all.  The whole stretch of this concrete road became more and more congested as I went nearer and nearer to Makati. Thus, I had to take Skyway and pay more to clear myself of vehicular tangles from Sucat to Bicutan.

I tinkered on the steering wheel as I lounged on my car seat. The traffic was so slow. The sight of patches of cars with dotted lights hypnotically lulled me to dizzying sleep. It was definitely a slow bore.

Traffic jams galore! It is Yuletide Season.
