5 #MagpakatotooKa moments while commuting
Almost everybody commutes. When the road is filled with different kinds of people it is inevitable to encounter awkward situations. These situations, no matter how funny and small they are, tests our character. These are the #MagpakatotooKa moments when we need to stay true to ourselves. Because these #MagpakatotooKa moments allow us to enjoy even the smallest things.
Yes, that’s right. Sprite is reminding us once again to stay true to ourselves when these #MagpakatotooKa moments happen. Just like that old Sprite commercial with a then-unknown Toni Gonzaga clinging and shouting “I love you, Piolo!” to the already-hunky Piolo Pascual, we need to stay true to ourselves to enjoy these types of moments.
With this, we are giving you 5 #MagpakatotooKa moments while commuting. Because the commuting experience is always unprecedented, we want you to be prepared and ready to seize the moment.
1. Someone falls asleep on your shoulder
It usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes into the ride before somebody dozes off and uses your shoulders as a pillow. Will you do the slight shoulder shake and wake the person up for a second? Or will you just let the intimacy linger?
2. You met your ex inside a jeepney.
Of all the places you could’ve come across upon her. It’s already hard meeting your ex, then what more if it’s in a jeepney. Suddenly you find yourself finding it hard to ask her the casual “how are you?” What are you going to even talk about, with 2 people seated in between you?
3. You sat in between 2 best friends who can’t stop talking.
Have you ever experienced wearing headphones that play a different tune for each side? This is how it feels like sitting in between 2 best friends who can’t stop talking. You will now know which professor they hate, their crushes, and how that episode of their favorite show ends. Just make sure its not also your favorite.
4. When the person in front of you with his arms on the handrails smells bad.
All of the soap and perfume you applied to yourself will come to naught when this guy suddenly raises his arms for the handrails and lets you smell his reeking armpits right in your face. Now as much as it pains you, you’re thinking if you may have to give up the tiny space you’re standing on for a much fresher outlook or you’re just going to stand there like all zen-like with your eyes closed like in prayer.
5. You rode the jeepney when you realized you only have a Php 500 bill on your wallet.
Nothing annoys a jeepney driver like a Php 1000 bill for a minimum fare. Either you’re just waiting to get away with a free ride or willing to spend the entire time enduring the pissed off looks of your fellow passengers when the driver gave in and went to a gas station.
If you ever find yourselves in these awkward situations while commuting, just remember: #MagpakatotooKa, and your already stressful commute will lighten up a little bit.
