The fuel gauge indicator had been hovering over the red line for a couple of days now so I was very anxious to arrive at the gas station--a 4km drive from my office--without running out of gas. I have never been so relieved to finally get gasoline into the car's gas tank even if it set me back by Php1.9K given today's rapidly rising gasoline prices. And I found out that my car can travel at least 400km on a full tank of gas. Not bad!
The queues at KFC were long as usual at lunchtime today. I didn't mind waiting in line several minutes but I was pretty annoyed by the lady after me who stood very close behind and insisted on taking two steps forward (she kept bumping into me) every time the person up front was given his order and walked away. At one point I was sorely tempted to turn around and tell her she's still fifth in line and that being closer to the counter doesn't mean she'll be getting served any sooner.
One can tell that summer is here--at least here where I work. Car owners compete for the parking spots farthest from our office building but which are situated under several shady trees while nobody wants to park near the building where the sun beats down mercilessly especially in the afternoon. During the rainy season it's quite the opposite: it's the spots near the building that are taken first. Apparently nobody relishes taking the long walk from their car to the building in the pouring rain carrying an umbrella over the heads with arms loaded with books, papers and bags.
