What I Learned from my Bus Ride to Work

A funny thing happened yesterday morning as I was on my way to work—I woke up at Ayala Avenue!
I ride the bus every morning and to catch up on some needed sleep I’d snooze it off as soon as I pay the fare. I’m sound asleep as soon as the bus exits the Fairview area. Usually, I’d wake up somewhere in the Cubao area. Yesterday was no different…except…I decided to close my eyes again and the next thing I knew, the bus conductor was yelling “Ayala! Ayala!”
Actually, this is a records of sorts! To tell you the truth, this is not the first time that I overslept on the bus. My previous best was waking up in Guadalupe. Going back home, it was as far back as Tungkong Manga in Bulacan! Don’t worry, I don’t intend of topping the last one!
My call time at work is 7am. I was in Ayala trying to hail a bus ride back to Pasig at 6:50am! Arrived in the office at around 7:25am!
Moral of the story—sleep early!
