Text In The City

December 6, 2007
8:51 AM

The jeepney that's taking me to Sta. Rosa, Laguna where I work is still waiting for passengers at the terminal. I can't help but noitice three other passengers sitting across from me - they're all texting.

The guy directly in front of me is lightly holding his celphone with both hands and is using his thumbs to type. What I find amusing is that he's been looking around casually at all the other passengers the whole time. Talk about multi-tasking.

The young girl to his right is speed texting. The staccato sound of clicking keys is quite amazing. She must be doing a hundred characters per second. Wow!

The lady on the other side is smiling sweetly to herself while sending & reading her own text messages.

A woman to my right is also using her mobile phone. She's typing and reading her messages, all while keeping the gadget inside her bag. Must be really top secret, for-your-eyes-only stuff.
