Girl on the other side of the world

[Lucius]

What's up boys! Kayo, are you willing to take risks and go to a place na super layo para sunduin yung girl (ok pati boy hehe)? Di nyo iniisip ung bayad sa GAS?! Haha or kasi bka ma-carnap or something.

I don't know if this counts. But, I've driven all the way from Fallon, NV to pick up my wife at San Francisco International. It's 6 hours at high speed each way and much longer if I get stuck at rush hour traffic along I-80 near Sacramento.

Why? Because she demanded I pick her up at San Francisco instead of her catching a 45-minute flight to Reno where it's 1 hr for me each way from Fallon.

What I'll do for love.

Add: I didn't really care about gas, food, wear and tear on the car, hours of waiting. All I cared about was getting some. That alone was incentive enough.

Yahoo Maps showed it only 4:49 hours. Yeah right. Traffic, checkpoints, and speed traps make it closer to 6 hours each way.

304 miles/490 km each way.

Nooooooo way! Di lang gas o carnap o bangga naiisip ko... pati fan belt and timing belt and tire and piston ring wear hehe

baket ka pupunta ng napakalayo para sa isang girl?

Puro boys nalang ba ang population sa nearby areas? hehehe

Like girls na willing makipag EB... yun nga lang gusto nila puntahan ko sila sa lugar nila... like Paranaque, Las Pinas, Laguna!! e QC ako... ummm... wag nalang...

Hanap nalang ako ng ka-EB dito sa QC. Madami naman girls dito e

hehe

Hanep yan bro ah hahaha. It's like driving from Manila to Pangasinan!

Before my wife and I got married I use to fly to Manila from San Francisco(12 hours). Once I got there she would drive from her home in Sucat to the condo I stayed in Greenhills or from her work in Makati to Greenhills. My nephew told me that my wife must have really loved me to make that drive everyday when she was my girlfriend. I told him my flights weren't a cake walk either going 12 hours each way and my wife finally realized it the first time she took the flight coming to San Francisco.

kung mahal mo...kahit harangin ka pa ng sibat. pero kung :***: ang habol mo....pwede na rin.

[awing]

this is TRUE for me every day..

i am working in Dubai and staying in Al Ain, 160kms away. Everyday i travels, waking up early in the morning * 5:45 and left at 6:30 to reach my work that starts at 8:00 am. Averaging 150kph, sometimes reaching 175kph(kasi late) considering some traffic inside the City.

why i stay in such faaarrr place? because my GF works there and why not rent in Dubai? for the people who knew, Dubai accomodation is so expensive and the city Al Ain rate is way below the margin...and the Traffic Hussle!!

so i take the rest, the tiredness and danger of the road, seeing my GF everyday is that matters and wipe it all.

if you even have to ask yourself this question, then the answer is no.

exactly what i was thinking....

[the_wildthing]

What things people do for love... or lust...

Bakit hindi kung puwede naman?

Kung gusto, magagawan ng paraan, kung ayaw, maraming dahilan.

Yeah, I've driven quite long distances just to see a girl. And I did not regret any of it.

[CaRGirL]

my bf works in Laguna, picks me up in Makati, hahatid ako sa house in fairview(Q.C.) then uuwi na sya Las Pinas. he does this twice a week.

Hehe, much respect Jun. That's a drive I wouldn't have wanted to do alone.

I once drove from Las Vegas to LA because my then gf wanted to shop in Melrose. I made her drive part of the way back tho hehe.

I'm sooo glad I'm married to a simple woman with simple tastes...just like me!

Originally, it was simple economics. It's 2 tanks of gas vs $150-$200 for a domestic flight from SFO to RNO. Back then, unleaded was $1.60/gal in NV and a little more in CA. It's obviously cheaper to drive.

Besides, my uncle started the whole thing by driving my aunt to SFO. It then became standard procedure for anyone going to or coming back from the Philippines.

It's not really that bad. I've driven several times from Fallon to Oklahoma City, 19 hours straight just stopping for gas and taking a wheez. I also drove from Fallon to Miami to catch the 1994 Futbol World Cup and then drove back. Then, there's that trip from Bangor Maine to Reno on a rental. All of them I drove while alone. 6 hours isn't much. I just whine a lot.
