Look out for open manholes, too.

Taxi Turvy

A true story.

In front of Greenbelt, the witching hour or sometime thereabouts. Waiting for a cab. My taxi-hailing-stopping ratio is one to a thousand. That night, my batting average improved a notch higher.

Arms flailing. Taxi shoulders. Halts. I approach. Side windshield goes down, an elbow and a head emerge.

Alexis : 'San po sila?

Driver : Malate po...

Alexis : Ay, hindi po...

Elbow and head retreat instantaneously inside the cab, windshield goes up, taxi goes from 0 to 50kph in a matter of seconds, launching into the void. I stood there frozen, my hand to my chin, figuring out just what exactly went wrong there.
