Daily Travel Diary: A surprising and somewhat scary encounter in the streets of Metro Manila

I have a new route ever since last week, courtesy of my workmate J who taught me that I can save more by doing this route. Instead of me stopping at Coastal Uniwide mall everyday and catching a bus going to Washington, she told me to just stop at Buendia where the crossroad is. From there I walk about 5 minutes and then catch a jeepney going to my workplace and it saves me around 7PHP everyday. So I decided to take this route because it would amount to around 70PHP per 10 days. Not bad at all. I can use that 70 for other stuff. Anyway, as I was walking going to the jeepney stand, I had to pass thru all these empty and old buildings and in my walk an old guy stops me. He is well dressed, not that old and I think he was a foreigner but the biggest stamp that he has on my memory is that his head was actually bleeding. Super bleeding red, bleeding blood and he asked me to stop and look at him while he was wiping it to make sure that there was none left after he wiped it all off. I was backing off as I was looking at him and I was up and about and ready to run. You can’t be too sure these days about how crazy people are and I was just so scared at the fact that he had a gash that was around 4 inches high and obviously needed stitches but that he was just ignoring them and wiping the blood off. Luckily it was daytime and there were a lot of people around to help me if ever…
