the poison of skepticism

on a cab ride home, the preferred route was relayed to uncle cabby at the start of the journey.

trusting that uncle cabby will bring me home safely, i did some facebook-poking on my mobile.

when i finally tore my eyes away from the handphone screen, the cab was going towards the opposite direction.

uncle cabby had to make a u-turn after i pointed that out. and adding 70 cents to the usual fare which i would have to pay.

upon reaching of destination, there were no offers of rounding up the cab fare to a full-dollar figure, and not even an apology for trying to bring me on a merry-go-round.

duhz.

i can’t help but feel that he was trying to earn a couple of extra bucks by bringing me on a big detour because ‘i-am-a-road-idiot’ is written all over my forehead.

perhaps i am just being skeptical. it was an honest mistake on his side.

it has always been in my blood. cynicism. pessimism.

my choice of believing in the bad of people rather than admitting their good makes it difficult for me to trust and believe in anyone wholeheartedly.

but then again, i see it as a protective layer. it shelters me from disappointments.

unequivocal faith is nothing but mere myth in my context.

ok, i did it again. another random rambling blog entry which makes no sense at all.

maybe i am just feeling sore about having to pay an extra 70 cents.
