I'd be so broke if I were a travel person. hehe.

Ako madalas every 2 - 3 years bago bumili ng damit. Pero madamihan na at madalas installment via cc, at one point nasanay din ako mag suot ng shirts and polo shirts from suppliers sobrang laki ng tipid ko nun time na yun hehehe

Majority of our kabbyns are like that. Climb the social ladder, go to church, do something to be noticed and pretend to live the life they don't have. Tupperware lives oo on in the country

OOOpppssss,- just had one last night with the family,- and it's worth it!
[Nope,- our ride was not crushed and melted...

Hahaha! Suko ka na ba sa kalalakad diyan sa East Coast?....

Now, you have the exercise that you were longing for (and the weather is not that comfy).... Nakakapayat ba o bumabawi ka na lang sa kain/("l*mon") diyan...

Kaya nga dapat while the body is able, travel as far as you can. I'm thinking of going to Iceland next time. Kailan pa mag travel kung Matanda na eh di hinde na rin na enjoy dahil hinde na kaya yun mga lakaran.

NYC Uptown-midtown-downtown and back no sweat. [emoji23]

Ako naman, I don't buy clothes/shoes sa Manila. Sobrang mahal.

What I do is Buy once a year when I go out of the country. Like now bought 10 pairs of shoes. I'll used it for a year then bili again next year. Ngayon majority nabili ko are sketchers. It's buy 1 50% off second shoes. And that's 20% off pa on top of that promo. So for around $70-$80 2 pairs na yun. Yun iba less pa dahil nasa clearance.

Walandyo bro.,- tama ba ang basa ko? 10 pares ng sapatos?,- aba e - isang balikbayan box na iyan!...

... Sa Outlet iyan, ano?

I remember buying our kids a pair each of Sketchers - hindi sinuot - kaya sayang lang... Hayyyzzzzz....

Yes,- mura nga riyan,- so shop on every opportunity.... Lalo na ang mga electronics, purses at fragrances.....

Relieved. I wanted to buy from Amazon a Samsung 55 curved TV ($1,200) to be shipped via Atlas Forwarder ($500), total cost of around Php79,000. I just found out the same model is available at Remal Sales, a local online store, for Php71,000.

Asar but relieved..... What were these guys (fellow motorists) thinking :

SLEX Northbound this morning: I was driving in the rightmost lane (3rd lane) doing 100KHP (actually a little bit faster than that...

). There was a car in the middle lane that was less than 2 car lengths ahead doing about 90KPH, and so I was in a motion to overtake it... A silver Isuzu Crosswind with obvious damage on his right side, was on the passing lane (1st lane) and doing probably 120KPH (faster than me), suddenly swerved to the middle lane at an angle that appeared to me as if,- it will hit me on the side. It took me by surprise and so I was not able to blast my horn, but I braked hard (tyres screeched). The Crosswind suddenly swayed left and right a couple of times and returned to the passing lane.... After passing the car in the middle lane,- I noticed that the passing line was wide open and so I was wondering why the Crosswind did that move? It stayed on that lane ahead of his pack until I exited SLEX.... Whew! That was close!

Driving along the East Service Road. Heavy traffic in the opposite direction. The motorbikes are already on our lane and overtaking. Suddenly a motorbike moved to make a second like of counterflowing motorbikes. He got a blast from me and stopped (but still on the second line of counterflow),- I did that because there was a motorbike on my right side that was overtaking me... Oh wow!

I was driving our GS,- so the Crosswind should have noticed me (maybe I was in his blind side); and the motorbike doing a second line counterflow should have realized that I could not make any further way/adjustment for him.. - but he obviously just wanted it his way,- with his coup-pal mind....

Correct. 10 pairs and I think I'll be buying more the next two days. Iba sa outlet but majority Sa malls dahil mahirap din puntahan mga outlets. Ang lalayo. Kaya pag on the way na Lang sa pupuntahan saka dumadaan. But bought majority of my stash (clothes, pants, shirts, , shoes, underwears, socks and everything I can get my hands on) was booth in NJ. Tax free on clothes and shoes doon. Just have to pay additional check in Baggage from east to west coast.

Hinde mo talaga mapapansin napadami na nabili. Actually nalaman ko lang 10 pairs na nabili when I'm starting to pack na. There's two pairs na nakalimutan ko nabili ko pala nun 1st day. [emoji16]

Tama ka, masarap bumili sa NJ,- tahil sa tax-free. Lalo na sa outlet sa Atlantic City.... Shopping!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember traveling with wifey and mother-in-law from our few days stay in CA to NJ... Each of us with only one checked-in baggage (so total of 3 only), meeting the weight for domestic travel with a lot of room(weight) to spare... Going back,- 2 checked-in baggages each kami (total of 6) and it took wifey and me almost the whole night to figure out what item goes where to meet the 50lb limit for each...

It was a good thing that our international flight was recognized at EWR (with stopover at DTW) and so we did not pay any for the domestic "excess baggage" (isa lang kasi ang allowed per passenger pag domestic).... Whew!!!

What's good this time around, we didn't used credit card much. [emoji106]🏼 probably 5-10% lang, we really planned of not using CC unless for emergency. Debit card and cash lang. what I did is bought a prepaid visa card sa Walmart then load Xxxxx amount. Then pag used up na load again. Mad may discipline unlike previous travels na puro CC and pag uwi magugulat ka na lang Ang laki ng bill. [emoji23] no more surprises this time! [emoji23]

Bro.,- you could have gotten away with the payment for the excess baggages (domestic limit of 1 checked-in baggage only),- if you went multicity. I think you can do that with United and Delta...

In one of our trips to the East Coast,- we took Delta MNL-NRT-SFO (stayed there for a few days)-MSP-EWR(stayed in the area for a few days)-EWR-DTW-NRT-MNL

So, checked-in baggages at EWR on our return flight were considered international.

So I guess the east coast sojourn was not in your original itinerary???? Worth it huh? Midwest is also interesting especially Rushmore and to the west is Yellowstone National Park (Old Faithful)

Na-miss ang tsikot.

Tired ...... "Wasted 20minutes in standstill traffic at 6:40AM today...."

The motorcyles of the opposite lane counterflowed, because theirs was heavy traffic.

They were not contented with just one or two or three counterflowing lines. They occupied the opposite (our) lane and blocked the intersection with a side-road for 20 minutes...

Our lane? No traffic after passing the intersection. However, we have to navigate vs 2 or 3 counterflowing motorcycle lines, and motorcycles in our lane, passing us both left and right.... Deym!
