Since this Tuesday, I’ve woken up and left our home one hour earlier to avoid the worsening traffic on my way to work. Before, I usually woke up and left at 5:30 AM and 6:00 AM, respectively, except on my coding day. And, my travel time ranged from one hour and a half to more than three hours for a 30-kilometer distance.
I thought I had lots of patience in wading through the traffic even if it’s for 3 hours. While in traffic, I do some exercises, listen to the music and sing along to while away the time.
But, last Monday, I got fed up. I didn’t know what got into my nerve. While at a full stop along EDSA for sometime, suddenly, I didn’t want to drive anymore. I thought of leaving the car then bring out my bike and pedal away. I’d been on the road for more than two hours; and, it’d been very taxing. Fortunately, I was able to control myself. I took a deep breath then sang along. And, my sanity came back.
Thus, since Tuesday, I avoided the morning traffic. My travel time was less than one hour. After parking my car, I slept for an hour and half to two hours. And, it’s a nice feeling reporting to the office fresh.
