I am very lucky for today because... I got caught by the Traffic Police for jay-walking for the second time around in Colon Street, Cebu - the oldest street in the Philippines. On my way to school from work. Yeah. "Got caught" as in I had to hand over my I.D to them to let them take down my particulars. I got away with a fine of $1.00 or Php 50.00). Fine. I did jaywalk. I did deserve that. But I really find no wrong in jaywalking.
It's dangerous at some point, I admit. But how dangerous can it be, where there's clearly no freaking vehicles on the road? And besides, it's rushing for time versus following the rules. Why on earth should I be at the pedestrian crossing, waiting for 1 minute plus for the lights to turn green before crossing and missing the jeepney as a result? It's a lot faster if I just cross the road when I deem it's safe to do so. At least, I can still catch the jeep and be in time for my examination.
Speaking of mock board examinations, 2 more days to Saturday! Absolute yayness for that!
Now where was I? Ah, right. Jaywalking.
Fair enough, the presense of a police officer may deter me not to jaywalk. However, once the officers are gone, I will still do my jaywalking. No big deal.
Well, anyway... I just wanna share these lots of funny excuses when you're caught for Jaywalking.
