Venn diagram of a typical NLEX Exit

I think I mentioned my brother not just once or twice in this blog. And I depicted him as someone who plays on transistors and resistors during his free time when he was still in college. I think I kinda got infected with his interest in math and the sciences. I remember watching a TV documentary where a scientist said, "we are approaching the metric system inch by inch" and we both laughed so hard. Anyway, yesterday, while approaching our exit at NLEX, I noticed that a number of vehicles were lining up at one gate, while the other gate marked "WIDE VEHICLES" has no queue at all. So, what I did is take that exit and whoala, we're out of NLEX.

Guess what I and my brother talked about right after paying at gate: the Venn diagram of what we did. And I want to share it would you.

Wide vehicles exit is a subset of NLEX exit

Yeah, I know. Truth is, I think if I ask him how to find my ring size (or anyone else's), he'll give me a mathematical equation on how to do it but will not even consider actually measuring it. :-)

Where are you going, guys?

NLEX

This picture was taken early this morning at NLEX (to Balintawak) on my way to Makati. I was not surprised to see my lane almost empty and the other lanes going northbound with heavy traffic. Well, this is the time of the year when everyone (almost) is so excited to leave the crowded Manila and go somewhere else to reflect, to rest, to escape.

It is during these times when I really feel so glad that I am in a place and in a situation where some people only get to experience when they have long weekends. I know some people like it in a very urban area, but eventually, some of them know that deep in their hearts, they wanted to stay in a place where congested traffic is a myth, cool breeze and fresh and clean water are free, and walking on your way to work does not mean you have to inhale the carbon emmissions of irresponsible vehicle owners. I know we don't have modern facilities like what you have in california treatment centers, but hey, who needs those hi-tech stuff anyway?

Good times.
