MANILA TRAFFIC is one of the most challenging, life changing, and ultimate test of patience... Ever! :)) Imagine a 2-hour drive from house to work, with a distance of just of 10km. Hmmm... It is something I don't really enjoy but I am starting to accept that this may become my norm on a day to day basis so might as well change my perspective and think of ways to enjoy the traffic.

Here are some of my thoughts and I would like to hear about yours too. ;)

1. Being stucked in traffic is the BEST TIME TO PRACTICE YOUR VOCABS.

Sing your heart out along with your favorite songs on the radio, maybe do some basic side to side dance steps too... Just enjoy and time (and traffic) will pass by.

2. Time to UPDATE YOUR LOVE ONES.

For me, one of the best things to do while in traffic is to call, catch up and update your family and love ones about how your day went. Just be sure to be on loud speaker.

3. REFLECT and RE-ORGANIZE your thoughts.

In this fast-paced world, rarely do we get an uninterrupted hour or two for ourselves. So while being stucked why not reflect about the day and try to assess how it went? Was it a productive day? Odjectives and new achievements unlocked? It may also be a time to re-assess and reorganize ones thoughts and think of how to tackle on tomorrow.

So next time, instead of being pissed and agitated on being stucked, maybe try to look at it as an opportunity to have some time to enjoy yourself... or maybe have some quality time with friends and love ones, if you are riding/driving with them.

But with all of things mentioned above, be sure to be always alert and drive safely. Safety first! ;)
