The Night Bus

I just came from a 9 hour trip again, i barely had rest. It gets pretty tiring but i got used to it by now. I'd just need a quick nap after and i can go back to my daily jam.

You know the bus from the Harry Potter movie?

The creepy bus for magic folks who has no where to go? The knight bus, yes. I have wished for the knight bus a million times if only it existed. It was for magic folks who have nowhere else to go for the night. haha. I wanted to feel like a cast away. Where i know nothing on where i am headed and where am i. 

They say, "you have to get lost once in a while to find yourself." So i wanted to know what it was like to just get lost and find my way out of the maze alive. The closest thing to doing that is by just hopping on a bus one night, unplanned, with a knapsack filled with clothes i just crammed for the last 30 minutes, enough to save me from doing the laundry for the upcoming days. It was a relief doing so. It was on my bucket list.

I only get to travel once in a while. Unfortunately, on the same routes over and over again. Most of the time i enjoy getting a break from my work but if i look at it, it gets kinda boring. Traversing the same path again, nothing new. But, this is what i can do for now. Someday, it will be different. I know.

One friend of mine once told me that buses are for emotional people so she never took buses when off to somewhere. She'd pertain to the long bus ride, where you have nothing else to do but reflect over things. She'd rather schedule a flight because it is faster and easier. But tell me, there is something with bus rides right? I remember then, i'd often ride the bus because somehow it made me feel better when i wake up. I let my eyes well up during the ride till i get to sleep. It's like bringing the rain with me during my trips. Hahahah. Everytime i leave the things that worries me are left behind and new things await. 

I always travel during the night. Most of the time i just hop into a bus heading to my destination and off i go. I rarely do reservations. It doesn't matter if i have to wait for hours till i find a seat. I think there is a thrill with it when you don't have a schedule. You don't have to chase your time because it is yours to enjoy. It makes me feel like i am off to an adventure. Ha-ha. Crazy me. 

Most people hate the bus bore, but i am quite fascinated of long rides except when i am in a hurry. The long ride allows me to mull over things and of course my favourite, to sleep. Though i sleep most of the time, i get time to think of things while listening to songs or perhaps i have with me a book to accompany me for the ride.

Okay. 

Might as well cut this one short. It has been pending on my list for quite a long time now i just thought i'd share it. Teehee.

Share to me what fascinates you as well. Or what you usually do during your long bus trips. 

Ciao.
