I wake up early this morning. I pondered I don't have cash so I go down the building, to withdraw some cash, and here's the traffic again, the traffic light turns out red but the vehicles didn't stop. Much to my disappointment, is that the vehicle would stop at the pedestrian lane... Where do they want the people to cross? on top of their vehicle? It really pisses me off. I just want to enjoy a harmonious life so I didn't go to the traffic enforcer.
I also wondered why such traffic enforcer allows such behavior. Pedestrian lane is the boundary, the limit, it shouldn't be crossed by vehicles when the light turns red. Because it's where the people cross, but they are blocking the way, and people would just find any way to get through those vehicles.
I am being pissed off again. I am trying to be calm, and trying to smile to start a great victorious day! God bless me.

Calm down my friend. It's early in the morning and you don't want your heart rate to go fast 
!
I too take notice of how public transportations violate the traffic laws all the time and we can see the traffic enforcer not doing anything about it. I think that traffic enforcers are very lazy because they don't have enough salary anyway. I know it's not the right attitude, but sometimes i feel sorry for them when they stood under the rain or under the heat of the sun and their salary is not even enough to feed their family three times a day.
So as a conclusion, i am blaming the government for the lack of discipline among traffic enforcers as well as the the drivers of the public and private vehicles!

It's just so irritating a scene to see early in the morning. Yet, you're right, I don't want my heart rate to go fast. I don't want to get stressed by the little inconvenience.
I often scold my friends if they don't follow traffic rules, and they've memorized my lines "that's why Philippines is not improving because even the simple traffic rules we couldn't even follow"... I am not claiming, I am a very good citizen of the country, but I am doing my best to adhere to rules created by the government, and such includes the traffic rules...
Anyway, good thing I have mylot to the rescue of my being pissed off. After I wrote the experience here, I calmed down and now, I could smile! Thanks bestfriend! :)

The pace of modern life is such we are forced to live with such situations in life.It can be quite infuriating when we have to wade through fast moving vehicles.Each such encounter is a test of nerves as the situation with increasing traffic becomes more difficult as the days go by.I think you've had a difficult experience and come out well.I wish you have great rest of the day.

Yeah, maybe I have to admit there are certain things in life that I have to go through, it's not something that I can move, but it's something I can endure. Life is tough, but tough as it is it still worth living and fighting for. Thanks for the response picjim. God bless you! :)

Better calm down chuyins123. Don't get pissed off by such little things. That's how life is nowadays. There's traffic everywhere and some drivers are no longer following traffic rules. Traffic enforcers too are not helping ease the traffic anymore. Sometimes they are even a nuisance. Just enjoy life. "Smile and the world smiles with you" as the saying goes. Just do that and you'll surely find life worth living despite all the hassles you encounter in your everyday life.

Thats the usual this i always encounter when i drive. Sometimes when the it's red light the normal thing we do is to stop, but i am wondering cars behind me kept on buzzing, seems that they wanted me to go though it's red light. I don't know rather i don't understand why they are having fun of disobeying the rules. Sometimes i got to think if i am already color blind.

Some drivers are dreaming of driving a plane... They blow their horns and its irritating us all badly!!! traffic is irritating itself, worst they will add more by making such terrible noise...
