I spent almost the whole day traveling from the highlands in Baguio City going back to Manila. In less than 30 minutes of traveling from when we left the terminal, we got stuck in a long traffic jam due to a truck that froze ahead. I thought we were stagnant for almost an hour. Waiting has become boring that I started to take random photos of the scenes outside. This is a shot that I have taken from the running bus along Ben Palispis highway (formerly Marcos highway) just few minutes after we passed by the truck that was being repaired.
When we arrived at the first bus-stop terminal in Sison, Pangasinan, the conductor was saying we transfer to a different bus because ours has defect. He was saying only 10 seats are available on the bus that is already in there so I did not bother asking what is wrong with our bus. I took my backpack and transferred to the other bus while I hear the others complaining behind. What a day.
After about an 8-hour travel by land, here I am exploring Steemit. One of the trending tag I saw is #ulog which I did not understand. Literally, I searched the internet as to what it means. I gathered it is about me or how my day went, or something to that effect. So here I am writing my first #ulog post. And I am happy to say that indeed, Steemit is an amazing social networking platform. In just about 5 minutes from posting my self introduction, I got 121 followers and my reputation went up by 7 notches. Plus the welcome comments I missed to capture on the first five minutes but they are there!
People here are very friendly and as amazing as this Steemit platform in itself. That is what makes this world a better place. That also made my day no matter what I have encountered along the way from my travel.
That is the story of my life today. Thank you Stemians for the warm welcome. More power to all of you!
