Filipinos are used to long daily commutes. Every day we follow a dreadful pattern, anticipating every stoplight and the inevitable gridlock in our streets. And its’ precisely because of this “routine” that we tirelessly rant about our weekday woes on social media in every chance we get. But really, that’s all we could ever do — log on, curse, log off, then sigh in resignation.

So much time is wasted being idle that we need to find ways to make better use of that time, like catching up on your favorite shows!
