Shady Talks About Weird And Obscure Stuff

Tourists & Crowds

I hate going out in general, so it would be a surprise I'd be talking about stuff that involves going outside-

Wuh?! Shady, YOU GO OUT?! WOAAAAHHH!!

Yes, my lovely readers, I go out from time to time with my parents of course. Someday, I want to go out by myself, do stuff by myself and etcetera. Blah, none of my family wants to go out on my own, even if I'm with my friends who CLEARLY brought someone else already (probably their older sibling or a helper). Like, I know they love me and all (pshh, they probably think I'm a failure) but I wanna try doing stuff outside on my own. I actually know my way around the parts of my teeny weeny city just because I've been around in it for my whole life. The only weakness I have is that I probably will die if someone was like, "YO! GIVE ME YO MUNEY OR YOU GON DIE!" I'm thinking,

well, that's it for my life. I'll see ya'll in Hell or Heaven.

I have no skills in combat or anything. I mean, I'd like to have self defence but I'm a limp noodle and a damsel. I NEED someone to save me, but I wanna save myself.

Dah-duh, Shady. Go and take self defense lessons.

Blah ew. Yuck. No. Never. Undertale has changed me, I'm sorry. Anyway, that's not the main part of this chapter (spent how many minutes talking about something that isn't the main part of the chapter cause I'm a piece OF SHI-). The main part of this chapter is about tourists and crowds in the Philippines. Specifically, in the city I live, Baguio. According to my mom, the most population Baguio can hold is 20,000 people, and that's all. How much people are here? 300,000 people! That's like, so much already! But what Baguio people really dread is when tourists (especially those from Manila) show up during the holidays, especially during December.

Like, EXSQUEEZE ME, that month is already stressful and we need to go to SM (the largest mall in the city) to buy our thingies but then they just HAD to get their GIGANTIC AF cars to cause traffic in this already tiny city. Really? What're you supposed to do with the cars in the tiny city?

Duh doy, Shady. Haven't you heard of...
T R A N S P O R T A T I O N??

Of course, but there's nothing much to SEE here. Like, leave your giant cars back in YOUR city. You can use the bus or rent a van or something. The traffic here during Christmas break is SO bad here that when my mom and I just wanted to go to the mall to meet up with a friend. The ride took AN HOUR, and we live extremely close by! What's worse is that both of us felt really bad because my grandpa just finished washing his car, and he looked kinda tired. Ughh what even

But, there's not only traffic on the road, there's also traffic on the streets. I'm going on to my next topic, crowds of people.
U G H H H
How I absolutely HATE being crowded by strangers. Like, "Idk who you are. Stay at least two feet away from me." And when they make sudden contact, you just go and have an instant panic attack in your mind. It's just screaming. You're screaming. No, you're not screaming for ice cream. "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

And then there's the one time where that one person (or two, or three...) bumps you and they don't say sorry. L I K E, at least have the decency to APOLOGIZE
IT'S
NOT
THAT
D I F F I C U L T

To top it off, all you hear outside during this time of year is constant:

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP
HONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKGONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONKHONK
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH

Drives me insane.
Even if I'm already insane
I N S A N E - E R

Anyway, that's it for this chapter!
