Watching old buses, new buses and semi old and new transportation is one of my fascination. Waiting for the right bus is such a pain and probaby such an absolute pain for those who are watching at the terminal. Not that I'm doing it on purpose but I am meticulously a person who follows correct number. Hehehe. Being an avid Jai- alai fan in which I usually win up to P50 to 100 pesos when I bet on those special numbers. I could probably win thousands or millions if I bet more money on it but I only can afford five pesos for the chosen numbers.
So catching up with the right bus is my habit unable to break. I will choose bus #'s with the number five at the end of those digits. Crazy me. Some people waiting fof their ride also were curious that they also end up riding the bus I used to ride. It was fun. Funny and hilarious! I could only laugh alone, sometimes. Wouldn't it be nice ifthere are benches at the bus stop and every person who would sit down with me will hear my stories? But hey I am no Forest Gump. I seldom talk. I was timid and quiet. My eyes, my vision is my special power. I was a keen observant just like the huge doberman just in front of me. Nah, not in front of me but across the street where that blck doberman used to stand with all its might and same thing staring at me. I stared at that black canine from the time I stood there at the terminal and that animal beside the counter at its baker's domain. The bakery owned by the Japanese family whose dog was in a curiousity mode as I chewed my gum continuosly. Watching the dog and its behaviour is one what Dr. Pavlov had discovered in his life time but my study is about hypnotism and there the dog was unable to move and his eyes helplessly couldn't blink his eyes. Poor doggie, as I was seated inside the bus I had my last glance and there the doberman finally move out from the window.
Now that is Sociology and Psychology altogether that my waiting is not wasted in that open-air terminal. nothing is wasted in my time waiting for that bus because I am doing the same kind of study in and out of the university.
