Curfew

As a result of the rally in Makati, a 12 midnight to 5:00 AM curfew was implemented this morning. My colleagues and I started worrying about our safety going home. I am just too peed off for words. It's unacceptable that this is happening and that our lives get so affected by it.

I had to cut my work day (or night) short and speed my way home for fear that I'd get apprehended for defying the curfew. Of course that was just my paranoia. I had every business being out at that hour due to my job, but I guess what scared me the most was the thought that checkpoints were inevitable on my way home. Though I know PNP checkpoints are assigned there for our own safety, oddly enough, it's when they are present that I feel even more threatened.

I'm glad I'm home safe. I hope this curfew thing doesn't become permanent. :(
