    10-7 naman shift mo e. mukhang hindi na rush hour yun at least for the 'to' trip. kung office-house din lang byahe mo ok lang na mag mrt. problem is kung may biglang lakad or OT na hindi ka na aabot sa last trip.

    I'll bring a car. Wag kang manghinayang sa cost. That's the trade off for comfort. I have a small salary but I chose to spend P135/day on parking, P60/day on toll and P4,000 on gas just as so I could travel to and from work with not much hassle.

    Depends on how far you have to walk at each end and how much you have to carry. If it's not excessive, by all means, take the MRT.

    It's liberating to have a netbook. All the stuff I need for meetings (excluding papers, which I sometimes just carry in a folder) fits in a small 6x9 bag. In fact, if the papers I'm carry aren't legal documents, I just fold them up and stuff them in the bag, too. I don't commute anymore, but if I had to, I could.

    As for rush hour issues with the MRT... leave earlier, and buy yourself a set-value card, one that'll last you a week or so. Save your car for days when you'll really need it, like rainy days or shopping days.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Assuming I'm travelling alone, I'd take the MRT.....

    - Bus and cabs are not an option. Bus is slower both and taxi too expensive hard to come by
    Given your specific case... Drive man, drive!

    O kaya, ba't di mo kaya i-try -> 1 week MRT, 1 week driving your own car. Tapos decide kung saan ka happy, at hindi mukhang na-harrass at nalapastangan
