Morning Smog

One of the major causes of respiratory diseases or triggers of an allergy/asthma attack is air pollution. Ugh. It is a bad condition when one sees how much those who are affected suffer.

Smog is very apparent here in Mega Manila that every time we travel to work in the morning, the steel buildings in the business district where our workplace is located are not seen clearly until one is very near them.

I’m not kidding, see the photo below:

Never mind the traffic, now that is another sad story.

Rains = Traffic

Every Saturday participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is TOGETHER.

There are so many wonderful things that go well together: peanut butter and jelly, black and white, moon and stars, day and night, a couple, and paper and pencil are just very few possibilities.

There are endless possibilities of yummy things that go together too, like a few of the pairs I have in my other entry.

My entry is a bit unusual if it is unusual to some of you.

Here in the Philippines, rains, heavy and not-so-heavy, mean traffic jam. No kidding.

The reason? Roads,even major highways are poorly maintained that when rains pour, flood water rises and vehicles get stuck on the road. It gets ugly and sometimes, road rage or accidents happen. Sigh.
