mobile art

while i was doing the dishes, my father took advantage of the laptop and googled several images of the jeepney which he will be using as reference for his next set of pen and ink drawings. i taught him how to organize the photos and found this:

"iba iba pala sila" was my initial reaction but of course at the back of our minds, we know that they vary in color, size, design, style and even their blings but how many of us take time to really appreciate the intricate details of these kings? a lot of us disregard the jeepneys around mainly because they stop anywhere they want to, don't observe road courtesy, take time to call on passengers, and wouldn't care at all even if they cause the traffic jam. they are everywhere and there are sooo many of them and it's irritating most of the time. but how many of us take time to enjoy the perks of this mobile art?

same with colleagues and friends (and family too!), we have them around us everyday that we get used to it but we forget to thank them for simply being around.
