And now for our daily shots, in a small alleyway wherein a young man walked with his back shown while holding a tumbler in his right hand. Beside him, an Ukay Ukay store displayed a monochrome array of used garments. A woman stood outside the store who meticulously checking through the racks of second-hand clothes and other personal items. She checked through the garments, examining each item with interest while the man continued walking. The scene was interesting with only the sound of vehicles and crowd noise.

A scene at the jeepney terminal where rain poured down while casting a gloomy atmosphere. There's potential passengers holding their monochrome umbrellas while they walked cautiously through the wet grounds. Jeepneys nearby with their decorations and chrome accents waited in line. Passengers hurried to find a ride while rushing to escape the downpour. The smell of wet earth and diesel mingled in the air as the terminal came alive with activity despite the cold and rainy weather.

Here's a blind lady, a person with disability who sat by the roadside with her guitar in hand. She strummed the strings with skill and her fingers moving artfully as she sang with a sweet and melodious voice. Her face, though sightless but shown with joy and passion as she performed. A tip box lay in front of her and people dropped coins and bills into it as they appreciate her skill.

Lastly is a line of vehicles mostly taxi cabs inched along the street, approaching the intersection. Rain poured down drumming against their roofs and hoods. The cold temperature added to the gloom while their wipers swished back and forth, clearing the waters from windshields.
