Come Christmas season, the traffic jam is no longer confined during rush hours. It’s now all hours. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I left at 10 am, thinking that the rush hour traffic has already eased. Nope. The provincial road from my hometown to the next is clogged. It’s just the sheer volume of private vehicles doubles or tripples during this time of the year and I do not have a rational explanation for this. 🫠

I first went to an expo at SMX at 1 pm and got people to talk to for interviews in the following days. Then I jumped to Makati for a Christmas cocktail/dinner with a bunch of people I am so happy to talk to. Nope, not friends but they’re sources. But before I was able to get to the hotel, it took me almost an hour to find a parking slot in Glorietta. 😭

There are just too many people shopping.

I got two big leads and all that driving today is so worth it. I’ve got two upcoming interviews and two published stories the past three days so I’m not going to end the year super dry. I hope I can bag more interviews tomorrow while I’m on editing duty.

Only two more weeks and I’m off!!!
