On her first day at work, absent ako. Nung dumating naman ako RD nya o absent ata sya. Sabi lang sakin ng mga tao na may bago daw. Kulot ang hair, full make-up, naka falsies, at ang baba ng boses. Kebs lang. Di ako excited sa mga bagong tao. Lalo na nung panahon na yun eh lukaret ako (kaya nga ako absent ng ilang araw).

Yan ang pinaka una naming pic na magkasama. Hindi ko pa sya masyado kilala pero wa pakels sa pag share ng maaksyon kong buhay that time. Parang medyo na-shock ko nga ata yung iba kasi parang di ako namimili ng kekwentuhan.

Dahil sabay kame magsiuwi, ayun na. Hindi na impossible maging friends lalo na pareho pala kayong abnoy. Ang liit lang naman kasi ng grupo namin so everybody knew everybody. Tapos napunta pa sya sa team ko.

Sakit ng ulo ko sa bwisit na to. Hindi ko na maaalala ilang beses kame nagtatalo, nagkakapikunan, at nagsesermunan dalawa. Lalo na yung ilang beses ko na pinaplano pano ko sya ibibitin patiwarik.

Tapos di ko na alam ano pang mga nangyari in between kain, inom, inom at kain, yosi, kain, chismisan, gaguhan, inom, dogs, trivias, kain at inom, issues sa work, eksena sa love life, at more gaguhan. Basta palage na lang kame magkakadikit.

Mga 80% ng usap namin eh kagaguhan, paninira ng buhay ng iba, pag evaluate ng poor choices ng ibang tao, mga nakahalubilo sa jeep, baon na food, pinanood ng gabi, tmi tungkol sa mga partner, chismis and more chismis.

20% lang ang matino, mga pangarap sa buhay, life lessons, advice, mga nuggets of wisdom, life experience ma may kwenta PERO nauuwi din sa sumusunod:

• Pagkain
• Lalake
• Kadirian (bot flies, pimple popper, etc.)
• At kalandian (Yep, bastos pinag uusapan ng mga babae pag nag usap usap)

Hindi ko na alam anong status ng baga ko sa kakasama sa yosihan. Di naman ako nagyoyosi. Issue kasi pag di ka sumama. At malamang eh ikaw pag uusapan, kasi wala ka.

Ano na nga ba tungkol kay Micah! Nawala na ko. Wala naman akong masabing maganda sa hayop na to. Hindi ko nga alam bakit friends pa kame eh sa isang araw mas madami pang mura inaabot nya sakin kesa sa yosi nya maghapon. Hindi pa kasama dyan yung mga hindi naman mura pero same effect. Lalo na at number one kontrabida ko sa mga sinasabi nya. Minsan gusto ko talaga sya advise ng maganda pero madalas gusto ko lang kumontra.

Naging kawawa din atay at kidney ko dahil sa kanya. Lahat ng pinagdadaanan namin sa buhay ay isa lang ang solution for her: inom. Ako naman eh kaladkrin at uto utong tunay. Naniwala naman ako. Kaya naging semi regular na kame sa Pards at Bojangles. Kailangan din pag uminom hindi pabebe. Kailangan gagapang pauwi. Nung lukaret days ko eh uminom kame sa kanila ni Jamie. May natuklasan daw sya, melon juice at Empi. Nasira ang chan namin dahil sa maligamgam na juice. Pumasok sya, si Jamie eh absent, ako nag half day kasi sakit talaga sa chan. Punyeta na-suspend ako ng tatlong araw sa trabaho. Nung tinanong kasi sya kung uminom kame nung gabi, umoo naman si kumag! Galing eh.

Isang beses sabi ko sandali lang kame kasi going through a rough time pa, I wanna rest. Ayun 4am kame nakauwi, naging tropa yung may ari ng bar. Umuwi kame na may bitbit syang dalawang choco shake ng Jollibee. Lasing to ha take note.

Kung panong di pa kame napahamak sa mga pinag gagawa namin eh isang milagro. Isang beses sa Pards, inabot nanaman kame ng madaling araw, pina-table nya samen yung isang waitress. Upo naman si Ate. Ayun kwentuhan sila. Nabad trip yung bading sa isang table kasi ang tagal ng ice nila. So ang ginawa nito ni Micah eh sya nag serve dun sa mesa. Naki-table din samen yung isang girl sa kabilang table. Galing eh.

Ang dami pa. Aabutin ng pasko kung sulat ko lahat.

Aside sa baga, atay, at kidneys, ang pinaka nakaramdam ng impact ng presence ni Micah eh ang aking timbang. Pagdating na pagdating nya, isa sa pinaka una nyang gagawin eh mag aya na kumain. Syempre mag time in muna yan, message sa mga tao, mag he-hello sa constituents nya, tapos ayun mag aaya na. Ako naman i-close ko na lahat ng ginagawa ko at pupunta na sa station. Tapos high blood nanaman ako kasi minadali ng bwisit pag dating mo eh nag me-message pa pala sya sa mga tao tapos paghihintayin ako ng mga 5 mins. So mga ilang mura yun bago kame makakain.

Hindi pa kame tapos mag lunch eh ise-set na nya kung anong oras kame mag meryenda. Yes, ngumunguya pa kame eh pagkain ulit ang agenda. Tapos yosi, then after two hours, yosi ulit.

Ganyan routine namin madalas. Pwera na lang kung absent sya. O kung ako wala.

Pag nag suggest din sya ng pupuntahan namin, walang naniniwala sa kanya. Last outing namin eh sa God forsaken resort na Villa Lim. Hindi ko maipaliwanag yung bwisit ko sa lugar na yun. Syempre masaya pa din kasi magkakasama kame. Pero shet talaga!

So dahil hindi na nagmumukhang pugay tong post na to eh titigil ko na. Good luck sa mga klase. Sana top 1 ka na sa susunod mong kwento. See you soon. May red wine pa ko sa ref nyo.

I can't recall when I downloaded the Wunder app and when I requested for rides so I was surprised when I got a notification that someone accepted my request! I didn't even know my requests were still active.

When I clicked on the notification, the app showed me a map of where the car was coming from, our route, the time, fare price, name of the driver, and a big red cancel button at the bottom part of the map. I only had three choices: (1) send the driver a message, (2) cancel the ride, or (3) hit the 'back' button, which actually closes the app.

I don't know if it was also just out of habit but I immediately sent the driver my pick up point and my mobile number, which were already indicated in my travel details and profile respectively.

After clocking out at exactly 7pm, I dashed to the lobby and explored the app meticulously while waiting. I looked for the driver's contact info but there was none. The map didn't show the driver's progress which was no biggie since this is a common issue even with Uber and Grab. I didn't flood him messages cause he might be driving so I just waited.

A few minutes passed then a notification from the app asked me to rate the fare price, or something like that. I only had two options, confirm the price or hit 'back'. Since hitting the 'back' button only closes the app, I hit 'confirm'. Then I was asked to rate the ride. I hit the 'back' button again; the app closed. I re-opened the app through the notification bar and menu, same result. I closed it again and restarted my phone, same result. So I rated the ride and briefly narrated what happened.

While waiting, I got an email saying that the driver left me a message. I checked the app but I could only view my messages. After a few more minutes, I saw that he was asking for my exact location. I felt relieved knowing that I answered that before I even read his question; he must've read my reply.

7:30pm and he's still not messaging me. I checked the app again and I can longer view the map showing where he is. After emailing Wunder about what happened, I booked for an Uber.

I was already on my way home when he sent a message asking where I was. So I told him that I had already left and got an Uber instead.

He was very apologetic. I told him that I thought the trip wasn't pushing through since it was already almost 8pm.

I'm writing this not to diss Wunder or the driver. I'm sure he wanted to be there at the soonest he could but he had issues with the app, like me. I'm just sharing my experience with the app. It's not user friendly that's all. That's coming from someone who knows her way through apps, gadgets, and online stuff. I hope they make improvements soon.

Will I try to use it again? Carpooling would be very practical for me, so why not. The driver made sure he has my mobile number so we can probably try again next week if we'll agree on the time.

While I'm at it, any Wunder riders out here? How was your experience with Wunder? Share it with us, would love to hear some feedback.
