My Metro Promise



I would say today was pretty much a good day for me. Not to mention is was my 2nd day of keeping my Metro Promise (yes folks, from now on that's what in gonna call it whenever I take the bus to work and mostly walk home).
I just wanted to share this picture that i took from my iPhone. I've been living south of downtown (SODO as what we call it) for almost 8 years now and I've always admired the view of downtown right when I walk of my apartment main door. Today was no different, as I was walking home from work and now two blocks away from home, I looked back at this view and I just couldn't help it but to take a picture and admire the view ones again.

Seattle is really pretty. As a matter of fact I love living here. Just the pace and surroundings makes me almost feel like I'm back home in the Philippines. I'm used to the wet and dry weather coz that's all we have back home, so experiencing 4 seasons in one day here in Seattle doesn't bother me as much. But I love it when its in a good day like this, and mind you it's already October.

I hope this continues a lil bit more. At least it won't be freezing on my walk home.

My Metro Promise

I've been telling my coworker Michele for a year and a half now that I'll be starting taking the Metro going to work. One, it saves me money from parking and two, I live like 14 blocks away from me literally.
My friends has been making fun of me as well about driving to work instead of taking the metro.

FINALLY!!! I took the Metro today after promising in forever!

I don't know what time I should leave and what's the estimate of travel time. I normally leave at 625am when I drive and I get to work just in time. I was planning on leaving at 6am but as usual I was running late and didn't get out my doorstep until 610am. I was worried that I won't make it on time of swiping in at 630am but to my surprise I arrived at work at 625am (the normal time I leave home when I drive).

20 minutes was faster than I thought. Why? Coz i have to climb couple of blocks up of (Mount) Seneca (i was gonna take a picture but it was still dark out). Downtown Seattle is pretty famous with its hills ala San Francisco area (well less steep at least). Tons of my friends working downtown would know just like my friend Anton who conquers (Mount) Madison which is way harder then the one I'm taking.

I'm hoping to keep this up and hoping this is my start. I know it's kind of stupid to start doing this when summer is over but then I have to start somewhere. It just so happen it's the wrong season.
