"This is probably going to get quoted in every publication just because I said it. And I’m not even saying anything. I’m not talking about my films, I’m not talking about my life, and I’m not talking about the world. And yet, the media will print it simply because I said it. And at this moment in time, I bet there is an artist around the corner of this hotel, on the street, with a mind far beyond ours, but we will never listen to him simply because he has not appeared in a movie. And that is what is fucked up about our culture."

Filipino Time
I hate hearing/reading the word “around” in the context of schedules.“I will be there AROUND 5pm” this pretty much means the person saying this will arrive past 5. We are so used to this system that we actually feel a one hour window is acceptable since technically 5:55 is still within the realm of “around 5pm”.
This is so stupid & inconsiderate but most everyone I know does this so it’s not much of a big deal.
What we need to do is remove giving estimates when it comes to schedules & simply give the exact time one prefers. Yes, we are not trains with calculated trajectories that can always arrive exactly on time but we can always be early. If you estimate that you would arrive at 5, give it a buffer & say “I will be there at 5:30”.
Also, traffic is a universal constant around here so remove that from the acceptable excuses of being late. Always plan with traffic in mind. Saying you are late because of traffic is like saying that you are late because our president has no hair on the top of his head. It’s ridiculous.Digs?
