Walking the walk of Life

Walking has always been a universal experience for all kinds of people in life...Its a very common experience that it is not really notice such as the first time when one as a baby had stood up and took their first steps...from crawling...to standing...in learning how to balance our bodies to walking...to running...Walking is relatively easy...and in itself is a self paced activity...its also one of the best exercises that we can do to stay fit...here in our country we could almost take a ride from one point to another...using trisikads, tricycles, habal-habal motorcycles, jeepneys, buses, taxi's..etc...but when you travel to other countries that rely more on their mass transit systems...you really have to WALK to get where you want to and literally walk FAST...its not brisk walking its really walking fast in their urban jungle...I have experience this when I went to Tokyo, Japan and more recently to China and Hong Kong...Walking for me has become an integral part of my day...I would walk to the corner from the house to take my jeepney ride to the Highway and another ride to the Office...In going home I also do take the same route...although I sometimes take taxi's when I'm in an appointment...most of the time I do take the public transportation...and it would cost me only P26.00 pesos vice versa (that would be 676 in a month)...I could not imagine how much That would cost me If I had a car and use it in coming and going to my place of work...the price of gasoline these days would only get you less than 3 liters at 100 pesos...not withstanding the cost of maintenance/spare parts...when you are just a working middle class earning your salary for the day...that matters...There were times when people ask me...sir...asa man emo service? then I would look them eye to eye and tell them I'm standing on my service...which is my walking shoes!!! taking the public transportation gives you the opportunity to meet totally different kinds of people...very masa and dating...you are also exposed to the street's pollution...and sometime's when you're lucky you get to sit beside a very fragrant lady in mini skirts or ladies that wear plunging neck lines exposing skin that is quite harmful to the naked eye...but then again one has to act as if nothing has transpired...most of these things I would not be experiencing If I had a car...and not be walking the walk of life in the streets...The only things that I despised when I am walking are the rains, wet pavements and cars that don't give a shit for pedestrians...and your particular askal...asong kalye that might be a danger to your legs...so you have to keep away from such animals...when you walk the streets try to look from afar...when you see some clusters of drunk or suspicios people who will be on your path...go and cross the other side of the street to avail such people
