    10 to 15 mins walk lang new place ko from my work. ok lang walk ako everyday, the problem is my work hours - i usually get out of work around 2am. hirap maglakad ng ganung oras lalo na merong bitbit na laptop. so, i usually drive my car to work. i can reimburse naman sa company a given amount for gas.

    pero i've been thinking of getting a scooter para mas tipid sa gas for daily service sa work. di naman masyado problem ang weather since super lapit lang ng place ko sa work.

    Pag family trip, of course car kasi mas mura kaysa sa taxi, pag pinabibili lang ng toyo, jeep na lang o lakad


    SHARING IS CARING.....

    Commute or car? Depends on the situation.

    If we decide to retire there, we'd live in LPC (Dona Manuela Subdivision) once more. I'd commute or walk the majority of the time. I wouldn't need to work. So, being late isn't a concern. Neither will being out late at night. I'm not a night person. The supermarket and the mall are within walking distance. Just about everything else is a short jeepney ride away like a hospital.

    I'm not interested in going to those big malls unless what I need can't be found nearby. If I do go to say, MOA, it'd be maybe once every couple of months just for the heck of it. I tend to support establishments close to home. If there's any part of Metro Manila that'll get my money, it's LPC.

    The only reason I might need to have a car is either going to the US embassy or the airport. My wife still has a business in the Visayas. We may go back and forth between my place (LPC) and hers. For those, a taxi will do (for the luggage). Or we may end up getting a car after all (V6 sedan).

    If I want to go on a tour, I'd go to a travel agency and go on one of those all-in-one tours with tourist buses.

    Nahihiya ako mag post dito kahapon pa…kasi commute lang rin ako daily yan. 2 rides sa jeep ha? Bale 30 petos balikan No FX for me – ayaw ko ng amoy, delikado pa kung ano mangyari. Nagsusuntukan na kayo sa loob ala pa nakakapansin sa labas…IMO ha?

    Mahal parking dito sa work. 50 pesos sa covered at 25 petot naman sa labas na nakabilad sa ulan at araw eh wag na lang. kung kaya ko nung estudyante pa ko, kayang kaya rin ngayon yan…yun nga lang walang mga borloloy sa katawan including wallet that contains important thing…. Basta may bag ako na me lamang baon, ID at enough money lang ayos na! parang pang skul bukul na hehehe

    for me drive pa din ng car kasi 4 rides bago makarating sa work... camanava area pa ang work ko so kapag tag-ulan parang nasa dagat ang area ng work ko, mabuti na lang at sagot ng company ang gas expenses. everyweek pwede ako mag full tank sa company (btw our company has its own pump). Everyday i travel 55kms back and forth sa work kasama na yung paghatid sa wife ko sa work niya (buti na lang hindi out of way ang location ng work niya).

    siguro kung sariling gastos ko ang diesel sigurado laman ako ng MRT at bus sa mahal ng diesel at P41.98. mabuti nalang din ulit at diesel ang ride ko, kung kulangin man ang isang full tank per week dagdag lang ako ng 200 to 300 petot para umabot ulit sa next na full tank.

    Mas comfortable talaga magdala ng auto kasi sa status ng lansangan natin ngayon mas safe kung sariling ride.

    if you really want to drive your car but having a problem with the cost of gasoline and you are having other problems with commuting, why not look at the alternative of converting your car to run on auto-LPG? It would save you 40% on the cost of fuel.

    kung nasa upper class ako at malaki sweldo at walang pinapaaral na kolehiyo ok lang na magdala ng sasakyan.

    pero kung nasa middle class ako at katamtaman lang ang sweldo at may pinapaaral na kolehiyo(kapatid o anak). siguro twice a week nalang ako magdadala ng sasakyan, fri at sat.depends kong may gimik after work.

    at kung nasa lower class ako, kumbaga mga 10k pababa ang sweldo at may pamilya. siguro commute nalang ako at benta na auto. mahal na gas eh.

    tamang-tama yung thread, nag-start na ko mag-commute nagyon lang, pamasahe ko 70 pesos lang so 140 balikan compared to 350 pesos of diesel at tollgate from mamplasan exit to kalaw ofc everyday. Laking difference talaga but nothing beats the comfort of driving your car kasi hawak mo oras at safe pa pag naulan, no choice have to save for the needs.
