An interesting thought: maybe the Universe did conspire for you to get the best seat in the bus. Whether it was a no-show passenger, a last-minute change in someone’s booking, or just plain, fabulously great luck, getting the best seat for an eight to ten-hour travel is a feat fit for the few. We haven’t even talked about the long queues on a Friday night when the following Monday is, well, a “Hello, Holiday!”
But thanks to the stars, you’re off to a good start. Here’s how to nail the best seat on a trail from Manila to Bicol (or vice versa).
Dear Capricorn, your work ethic is simple: excellence. Long hours at work and a foresight that is visionary, you plan things very well, where you sit for example. Although at times you don’t care what other people feel initially—a true sign of grit, stamina—you want to be ahead. You like the front seats not because of its proximity to the door but because you’d serve as an amazing front liner.
Ah, the cutest, most lovable creatures in the Zodiac Calendar. Very inquisitive and very entitled. You open conversations with practically anyone you meet but is always cool, calm and composed. Your own safety is top of mind, and panics at the idea of sitting at the front in cases of collision (knocks on wood) so no thank you, you’d sit at the comfort of the middle rows.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Best Choice: Practically Anywhere Except The Driver’s Seat
The kindest of the Zodiac Signs, you’d do anything for anyone when they say the exact words, like “please.” You wouldn’t mind falling in line at the reservation desk as long as there’s good chika, or that you’re given time to compose your thoughts, or when somebody praises your good looks with a child-like nonchalance.
You’re one of the most thoughtful signs in the skies, and you’re always willing to provide support to practically anyone. You like nurturing everyone’s happiness and you, as the fiery sign, enjoys every bit of it. In times of restroom emergencies, you’re the best leader to lead the gang, so the best seat is, well, the aisle seat!
This could perhaps give you really great views if you’re doing a daytrip and your lakwatsera self will be very pleased. You get to capture everything and post everything immediately on Instagram and yes, you really don’t mind the long journey, because Hello, Gumaca!
Boy you are in trouble. You, with the double personality would probably want two different things—say, an aisle and a window seat—so should you get both? Not exactly. You’re always good at positions on arguments, so I’m sure you’d be able to get the seat you wanted.
Perhaps one of the kindest signs of them all, you wouldn’t really mind standing up every time the person seated on the window side excuses himself/herself to the loo. Though you’re highly secretive of your feelings at times, but that’s okay, you adapt easily to many zodiac signs around you. The best part is, you do amazing stuff secretly and your work goes out into the world with a bomb!
Ah, the true leader of the gang. Your perfection is almost impossible to emulate and you have an unlimited drive for performance. You talk a lot and you’d always get away with anything so you’d want a premier spot in the bus just so you’d be ahead of everyone at every stop over. Tiaong, hello!
Leos are your biggest competitions when it comes to perfectionism, but you have an advantage for being very keen on details. The slightest discoloration on the seat cover you’d probably notice, so having best seat is the most important. Having a spot in front before the restroom area may guarantee an odorless area, as a waft of comfort room air tends to come out every now and then.
You’re perhaps one of the best Zodiac Signs to ask when it comes to decisions. You stand by every decision you make and if ever it really isn’t the best seat to choose for your trip, you care less. You’re naturally suave on conversations and can pull a laughter from practically anything!
You’re one of the most sassy zodiac signs of them all, and you wouldn’t mind sitting next to a stranger who looks as good as you are. You’d always engage in conversations and surprisingly, you end up winning new friends. Your rulebook when it comes to travel? No rules. You go wherever your heart takes you.
You’re one the easiest zodiac sign to please, but earning your trust takes a lot of time. Either you make sure you know who you’re sitting next to, or be on a single-seater bus! Either way, you’d still manage to survive the trip because you’re a resilient sunshine of a ball!
