Will it be worth it? --- Part 1

An effort to practice "one carless day a week" by taking the MRT

A typical morning rush (GMA Station)

Find your own space, brace yourself and pray to survive

Frustrated riders --- because they were not able to (literally) push their way in the train? Very typical at the Cubao Station --- even at times when the coaches are not full, commuters from this station would still be pushing and gnarling at each other.

Still a long queue out...

Consolation for a 15-minute this-must-be-the-train-to-hell-loaded-with-people-believing-that-riding-the-MRT-gives-them-the-right-to-physically-hurt-and-verbally-abuse-others.

Ah, so delite-ful cheese!

How big are you?

Try to wrap your mind around this - it's rather dazzling to see it presented this way...

Beyond our sun... it's a big universe


Antares is the 15th biggest star in the sky. It is more than 1,000 light years away.

This is a hubble telescope ultra deep field infrared view of countless "entire" galaxies billions of light years away.

Below is a close-up of one of the darkest regions of the photo above.

Humbling, isn't it?

And how big are the things that upset you today?

Keep life in perspective. Be happy and don't sweat the small stuff!
