Caroleen’s Treasures

I am one of the many who hates the drivers of uso-uso jeepney’s that plies the route of Mintal-Roxas here in Davao City. I had a bad experience riding several months ago. That time I was with Cheche and Eman and I promised to myself not to ride on ht kind of jeepney again.

Last Saturday, we had a horrible experience on the road when one uso-uso jeepney with plate number LWZ-885 recklessly drove past one jeepney. We are on a fast-lane and on the slow lane was a jeepney. Since there are only two lanes, there is not much room for this stupid uso-uso driver to over take the other jeepney but he did!!!!! He was in very high speed and we almost got hit by a container van on the opposite lane. Both the container van and the uso-uso jeepney are in very high speed so if Donald lost control, we were dead. Eman was with us, sleeping in the sling. We are always careful when driving especially with a child but there are stupid drivers that drives like there is no tomorrow. When they pulled over to drop a passenger, Donald confronted him and I also did because I was mad.

Yesterday we saw the jeepney again. Same as usual. As if the driver owns the highway and drove like hell. There are many news report about vehicular accidents involving uso-uso jeepneys. Even when they have car insurance and life insurance, they have to be careful when driving public utility vehicles. If ever I will see that stupid driver again, I will really tell him to undergo a driving lesson and seminar. Really!

We just came home from my sister Crislyn’s place and glad the little guy has fallen asleep in the taxi. I was very careful not to wake him up while putting him down in his hammock so I can do a little blogging and blog hopping. It was already dark when we left here but it seems we were at my sister’s place for a long time. Donald and I were actually undecided if we should go out. Weather is not good and money is tight but he “ordered” for me to dress the kids at the last minute. We live up here in the mountain (well not really that remote as you think) and going downtown means spending a lot on  taxi fare so we agreed to ride a jeepney. One time Eman and I went to deliver Ms. Alex Hao’s order of cloth diapers. I had the camera with me and while we were inside the taxi, I attempted to take a photo of the jeepney’s thinking I might use it in my blog someday. That afternoon, traffic is nearly bad near the Ateneo de Davao Highschool Campus and you can’t believe I never had one single photo of that thing. What I am trying to impose is that they are really FAST and FURIOUS!
