If you’ve read my post Walk my way home, You will probably know by now that I had my own fair share of experience with storm and flood. My second commuter experience also concerns flood and it happened when I was in high school. It was raining so hard in the night but fortunately, it stopped in the morning.

So we woke up early in the morning, do our usual errands and commute our way to school. But we have a problem. The rain have flooded and blocked the streets. We were so worried that we were the only one who couldn’t make it to school. We had no choice but to call our school and inform them about our situation. And we were surprised with their answer. It turns out that only few students made it to school because of the flood. So they’ve decided to cancel the class that day even though the weather isn’t that bad at all. We were so relieve. The great thing was, we didn’t have to walk our way home.

This is a funny take on the reported facts that someone gets hit by a drunk driver every 30 seconds.

Have you ever heard the phrase “Your commute is killing you?”  Well, if you haven’t, listen up.  And no, it’s not the doughnuts with cream filling you this morning or the stale coffee you bought from the vending machine that is now giving you acid reflux.  But rather the steady increase in transit fare, which is now $2 (might be more in a year or two), the polluted air your breathe everyday (especially those of us who have really long commutes to and from work).  There are people I know who commute two hours just to get to the city.  That to me is really absurd.  By the time you get to work, you’re exhausted and the day hasn’t begun yet!  But people do it just to live in nice fancy big homes.  Believe it or not, these things really stress us out and put our health at risk.  Not to mention, they drive us crazy as well.  But we do it anyway.

What is your daily commute like in…
