Look at this photo...

wow! hanep sa decoration diba? i found this pic in some website where they post different filipino pictures.. i think the jeepney is definitely one of the icons that represent the philippines. it has been used for transportation for so many years now. in fact its the most popular mode of transportation here in the philippines. aside from its transprtation purposes, it also represents how artsy fartsy filipinos are. look at the picture above... exaggerated and and overly decorated, i know. but through the jeepney, filipinos express their tastes. they decorate the jeep with different colors, all kinds, shapes and sizes of lights, trimmings, etc. the well-decorated, colorful jeepney represents the Filipinos' creativity and inovativeness that no one can find in any other place except in the philippines.
i could remember my prof in my phil.arts class discuss and liken the jeepney to a 'parol'. both are considered art forms here in our country and both represent how colurful and decorative filipinos are.
but today, jeeps, rather jeepney drivers, are disgusted by private vehicle drivers because of their feisty and rude behavior in the road. they cut you on your lane and stop in the middle of the road to load or unload a passenger. jeeps never fail to piss my mom off whenever she drives. hehehe..
siguro ako din magmumumura sa loob ng sasakyan dahil sa jeep pag mahusay na drayber na ako! wahaha! kelan pa kaya yun? ilang months na ko tinuturuan di pa din ako makalayo na magisa..hehe! takot kasi ako.. and i'm really not that street-wise..
good luck nlng sa driving ko! :P
