When he needs to leave his car in the casa would need to take a taxi back home. But he would be more fullfilled and happy I believe thats what I advised him.
nothing wrong with this scenario. masyado atang rich kid ang kaibigan mo, nawalan tuloy ng spine. napaisip tuloy ako: ganun ba talaga ka-importante ang porsche cayenne? nasa pangalan ba niya ang cayenne? o hinihiram lang niya sa magulang niya? at the end of the day, e sasakyan lang din yun (at hindi pa kanya -- pag naisipan ng may-ari ibenta yun, anong magagawa niya?). pardon me pero medyo mababaw ata kaligayahan niya.

there was a time i had this really great suv for a day. british made. full options. start mo ang engine, umaangat ang sasakyan. ang ganda talaga. then i got stuck in traffic. 45 minutes in traffic and guess what? you're still in traffic like the average dude. the novelty of this great suv dropped like a rock really quick.

watch the kids selling garlands on the street when they are playing amongst themselves. their smiles and laughter are truly authentic. will your friend get that from a cayenne? poor rich kid. if he can find happiness in material possessions, then i'm happy for him. tell him to stay with his folks. at least siya, nabibili ang kaligayahan niya. madaling abutin.

note: what's wrong with flying budget? ang ganda kaya ng budget terminal ng singapore. does he regularly fly business class or, gasp!, first class? i honestly didn't find any difference between PAL's coach and cebu pac's seats (except for the snacks). but if you're going to hongkong, what's the use? isang oras lang ang flight. baka hindi pa niya matapos basahin ang magazine e pa-landing na ang eroplano.
