    Processed oil actually does not expire as well, kaso nawawala yung mga vitamins (A) and other add-on na chemical kaya kelangan i-reprocess.

    kaya nga nagtataka ako lalo na sa mga nagpapagawa sa casa dahil hindi man lang chinecheck nung nagpapagawa.... nung 1k pms ng montero ko talagang binantayan ko pati paglalagay ng oil at saka kung saan kinuha.... yun assistant ko sabi niya kapag may bantay na hindi mahigpit, sinasalisihan nila ng "recycled"....

    Industry secret ba? Matagal magbayad sa mga suppliers ang SM. Ta3na tong mga anak ni Sy na ito. Umaabot ng 9 months ang singilan eh. Iniwasan na namin ito. Mas ok pa yung mga small time groceries. Kaya lang binibinili naman ng SM ang mga small time groceries. Nakngteteng!

    re car repair shops

    customers should always demand replaced parts be returned to them

    not only coz you want proof that the parts are really replaced (you wouldnt know anyway coz the old parts could come from other customers' cars who don't ask for their used parts)

    ang ginagawa kasi ng mga mekaniko tinatabi ang mga lumang piesa. shops usually have an inventory of used parts. may purpose yan

    meron kasi mga customer di na kinukuha mga pinagpalitan na parts. iniiwan nalang coz tingin nila basura na mga yan, basura na nga yung iba but there are parts that are useable pa

    there are shops that tell you kelangan na palitan ang ganito ganyan pero di pa naman sira (lalo na pag mukhang walang alam sa cars ang customer ang dali lokohin)

    so they make you spend on new parts and you leave your old parts with them pa. kumita na sila sa new parts and got your old parts which they sell other customers as japan surplus

    Naalala ko lang:

    Isang paraan ng AFP para malaman ang stronghold ng mga NPA ay based sa number of votes na nakuha ng mga red affiliated na mga party-list. merong mapping nyan after election.

    I have this friend in the military, He said that some soldiers die in the frontlines because of stupidity....

    There was this instance that he led a platoon on a recon mission.... sumabit daw yun baril nung isang sundalo niya sa isang sanga ng puno then pumutok. 2 daw patay..... they reported na lang na encounter yun nangyari....

    Industry not-so-secret.

    Unsold Ondoy'ed vehicles repaired then sold as brand new.

    Then again, what did we all expect?

    Ang dahilan kung bakit may expiration date ang mga bottled water ay dahil sa sterilization ng PET Bottle na pinaglalagyan at hindi dahil nag-e-expire ang processed water (mineral, mineralized, filtered, distilled, purified, reverse osmosis, at kung anu-ano pang pwedeng itawag sa mga processes ng paglilinis ng tubig para maging potable.)

    Regarding sa casa, ako mismo gusto ko rin malaman kung talagang pinapalitan nga yung oil in the first 1k and 5k pms. Kaso how? Some casa's hindi mo talaga masilip car mo while under pms? Example is hyundai e.rod, yung service area nila is on another floor and different from the receiving area. Yung service area is unaccessible sa mga customers

    Change oil? Hindi lang sa 1T KM at 5T KM.
    Sa tingin niyo ba nagamit lahat yung oil na binayaran niyo pag nag-papa-PM kayo sa casa ng 10k, 15k, 20k, 25k, 30k, and so on?
    Kung 7 liters ang binayaran mo, mostly 4-5 liters lang ang nagagamit. The rest, hmmm...... secret lang.

    Airlines are allowed to overbook so that if may mag-back-out, they can still have someone replace your spot. Problem is that what if everybody decides to fly.

    Also, the Mayor (capital city afaik), Governor and Chief of Police of any province always has a reserved seat in PAL just for emergency reasons.

    This is a good point, sana lahat ng casa gawing visible ang workspace from the customer lounge. Meron pa nga dyan nagswap ng parts, inabutan lang ng 500.

    Kahit hindi accessible sa customer lounge basta pwede nating puntahan at makita ginagawang service sa ride natin ok na. We paid good money to get our cars serviced and thats what we should get. Naalala ko one instance sa isang toyota casa ( im allowed to go inside their service area) inoffer sakin nung isang mekaniko a certain part for a small fee, i said no kasi alam ko kawawa yung kukunan nyang pyesa at ipapalit yung sirang pyesa ko. What if that happened to me?
    Meron din mitsubishi casa na nagpapalit ng interior panels. Nagpa pms brother ko nung montero nya. Napansin nya after a few days na may crack na yung lower door panel niya. Hindi nya kasi ininspect mabuti bago nilabas ng casa and ayaw ng palitan ng dealer yung broken part.
    Isang friend ko rin sa toyota casa din. Sira power window niya and nalaman lang niya nung binuksan niya to pay toll at the toll booth, ayaw na sumara. Ayun laking inconvenience sa kanya dahil cancelled road trip niya. Bago niya pinasok ng casa ayos pa yung window niya.
