had to go (near) bgc today......... I was so STRESSED just being there. I haven't been there in years but I get flashbacks to how bad commuting to and from bgc was like. and that stress is just gonna follow me every time I'm near that area

ofc no one here knows what I'm talking about except for maybe like a handful of people, but just know that if you're ever in metro manila, do NOT believe anyone who says it's nice to be in bgc. it is a soulless capitalistic haven without good public transportation. dude I'd rather commute to makati, or hell, mall of asia than bgc. bgc is a hellscape (if it's not apparent from the post, I live in north metro manila) (this is also funny bc like. it shouldn't be terrible to go to bgc bc it's quite near makati but makati is sooooo much more accessible. commuting to and from bgc and makati itself is also its own nightmare)

#mine musings #my commuting skills got put to the test but since i refuse to drive (i get driving anxiety) i still got it (finger guns)#like to get home i rode: a jeep. a minibus. the mrt. and fx #should've ridden a tricycle too so i could say i was testing out all the transportation systems we have in the metro lol #if i did a different route i could've ridden P2P then trike #only the minibus was unplanned. it took me 2.5h to get home........ and that was BEFORE the rush hour. i want to cry #bc i KNOW if i had left later the commute would take me 3.5h. at least #what's worse is that that place i was going to wasn't even really INSIDE bgc #BUT when i was going home i rode a jeep that should've gone to guada but the driver didn't want to follow that route lmao #the route ended in market2x which..... is inside bgc................ ofc he told me beforehand and i was like. fine #i can take a minibus from there to guada. also for some reason the jeeps/minibus seldom show up in the road i was in anyway #like i even asked the guard outside about it. the road i was in was a car road... the minibuses and jeeps go there but not often #anyway i used to work there so i'm conditioned to always feel anxious when i'm close to the area #similarly i'm conditioned to feel relieved when the mrt crosses the boundary to qc lol #and mind you qc itself is BIG but commuting within it is more reasonable to me (except if you're in somewhere like. sauyo novaliches)
