Loud and Claire

While waiting for my ride, something bright and campy rolled in front of my eyes.



Yes, it was the Philippines' answer to Karen Carpenter - Claire de la Fuente - on the side of a bus. With her fluttering eyes and sultry demeanor, she was calling people to take a journey with her. (Apparently, she owns a bus line and is the president of a Bus Operators Organization.) Suddenly, I had visions of sitting inside the bus, listening to her greatest hits wafting in the air. Or maybe a TV screen, showing these:





As much as I was being drawn to ride the bus, I couldn't. Not today.

... Oh, sayang...
