A Secret Alien Machine?



I saw this Suspended Particulates Sampler "thing" along EDSA in Quezon City, which is supposed to help improve the quality of air in Metro Manila. Wow, Deep! So I asked myself, is this "thing" (a) a hanging trash can, (b) a secret alien machine, or (c) a secret alien machine.

Many perhaps guessed choice "a". However, this thing, apparently, is supposed to collect air particulates for research on how polluted the air is.

And if you judge the quality of EDSA air based on its contents, I would conclude that the air in that part of EDSA is severely polluted by candy wrappers and empty bottles. :)

Scare me beybeh!

I don't like footbridges, especially when these vibrate as vehicles rush through the streets underneath it. I always feel like I would die of cardiac arrest whenever I use a footbridge to cross the road. One day, I was desperate to find another way to cross the road so I asked a friendly-looking manong:

Me: Kuya, saan pwede tumawid?
Manong: Dyan. (Sabay turo sa sign na "Walang Tawiran, Nakamamatay")
Me: Kuya, hindi ba ako mamamatay dyan?
Manong: Hindi. Ako nga buhay pa.

And he was right, I survived.

So after the much discussed road sign "Walang Tawiran, Nakamamatay" in huge pink boards, comes the straight-to-the-point-based-on-a-true story No Jaywalking Sign:




This one is located along Ortigas Ave., just in front of POEA. Tatawid ka pa ba? :)
