we didn't have any direct interaction with each other. the only thing common between us is that we shared the same jeepney.
it would be more accurate to say the she was there before me. and, i never knew all of the experiences she had inside the jeepney before our eventual meeting.
i did not have enough information for me to judge her as a person. but, there times that when a person speaks we can deduce the way of thinking that he/she has.
when it is about time for her to alight the vehicle, he pulled the rope to signal the driver of her intentions. the driver stepped on the brake pedal for the jeep to stop. however, i do not think that the woman received this very well as she tumbled towards the front end of the vehicle. it was a good thing that there were people inside to stop her from rolling continuously.
this was quite a funny-yet-awkward sight since there were no other people whose body reacted the way hers did.
on her way down the jeep, she shouted to the driver:
Manong, ano ba?! Lasing ka ba? Kanina ka pa brake ng brake ah.
this signified that she was not happy with what just happened. and, so was i.
i wanted to alight from the jeepney and follow her. i wanted to lecture her about inertia and momentum. i would like to have told her that it was better that the vehicle's brake mechanism works.
however, my mind tells me that i shouldn't be like her. we shouldn't all be.
