You get to meet a lot of different people everyday.
This post in particular will be about people you get to see sa isang BYAHENG JEEPNEY.

A few friends ask why I would have to take the jeepney instead of just driving my car.
Here are a few reasons why:

• Mas mahal ang gas kesa plete. 
• Boring kai wa koi kuyog. 
• Kapoie drive. 
• Mas daku kug chance ma`late kung magdala kos sakyanan.
• Hasul parking.

But I still do use the car most of the times. ;)

My favorite spots in a jeepney are the ones closest to the entrance (and exit), the ones closest to the driver, and the front seat.
A while ago, I sat on the one nearest the entrance (and exit), left side.

Anyways, I dedicate this post to that woman who sat beside me a while ago.
She didn't seem to see me because she literally sat on my left lap when she rode the jeepney. She then moved a LITTLE to get off my lap and faced front, leaning her back towards me. I was BADTRIP the whole time because I felt so PIIT.

Thanks to a few friends I texted with that whole time. They made the "pain" bearable. XDD

There are more kinds of people you get to ride with in a jeepney. Here are some:

• TRESPASSER - those whose elbows would almost hit your face (or any part of your body) when they get something from their bags or pockets. Or those people that lets their hair fly freely on your face!.. and the worst thing about them is that they don't care.
• TEXTER - people who are always on their phones. A perfect target for the TAKERS.
• TAKERS - well, just the typical SNATCHERS and MANGUNGUOTS.
• SPY - those that read text messages... of people sitting beside them.
• MUSIC LOVER - headphones / earphones ON. World OFF.
• CRYBABY - someone who cries on the whole trip. (mostly applicable to babies and brats)
• DREAM BOY / GIRL - someone who is on DREAM LAND the entire time.
• CALL CENTER AGENT - they are all blah-blah-blah's on their phone. Another perfect target for the TAKERS.
• PERFORMER - they ride the jeepney to sing to you the song of their people.. XD but you are to pay. 
• CHISMAX - group of people who are having their chit-chats... with their remarkably LOUD and ANNOYING voices.
• REUNITED - they just met again. HORAY! And they eventually turn into the CHISMAX.
• PARANOID - people who are very conscious about the surroundings and the people around them. They are always in their defense mode. They fear the TAKERS.
• HANGER - those that do KAPYOTS. XDD
• OBSERVER - like the PARANOID, their eyes are set on the people around them, well.. only on a few "certain someones".. except that they're not in their defense mode. They just... observe.
• DEADMA - they pretend they didn't hear or see you handing over the fare.
• SHAWARMA - they smell like shawarma.

A few additions from dear readers:

• CHIX MAGNET - (sa mga laki kasagaran) bisag hoot na kaayo mag carve pa gyud og space para matapad sa iya ang chx. :e (added by Timothy Pono)
• SLEEPERS - nagtoo nga naa sila sa kwarto kung magsakay og jeep niya ikaw himoong unlan. hahaha(applicable sa taas nga routa nga jeep) (added by Timothy Pono)
• ROCKSTAR - matulog sa jeep nga murag rockers / headbangers (added by Timothy Pono)

These are just some of the people you'll meet when riding a jeepney.
There could be a lot more!
