    Bigyan na sana ng assigned lane ang mga motor lalo na sa mga secondary roads.... At, i-implement ito ng tama... Meaning,- if there were an accident and the motorcycle was not on his assigned lane,- then he should be at fault. The same is true if the 4-wheel was on the motorcycle lane.

    At least, their positions are "predictable".. Hindi iyong kung saan-saan lumulusot at normal lang na naka-double-counterflow pa sila,- minsan triple pa...

    And jeepneys should only load and unload on designated points on the road and will not stop on top of the motorcycle lane.... Anyway,-palagi naman silang nakaharang sa kalye at bigla ring titigil,- e di, gawin na lang na normal ito para may motorcycle lane na hindi nila iba-block... Of course,- pedestrian lanes on those points on the road, na ire-respeto ng lahat ng drivers.

    "Wish Ko Lang" thread dapat pala ito....

    From a person coming from EDSA, it's beneficial because people will no longer eat 2-3 lanes to make a right turn. Corinthians is 3 lanes wide, and people don't line up, so they also eat 3 lanes when turning, which chokes EDSA.

    In places like these, the underlying problem is really volume. Barriers on the intersection just shift the traffic from EDSA to White Plains.

    Wondering why people claim their parents' cars to be theirs. In the many years I've been in Tsikot, there are those that post as if the car is theirs ("yung kotse ko" instead of "yung kotse namin") when obviously it was bought by their parents.

    I'd understand that some people are given cars as gifts (so effectively it's theirs), but some people act so entitled as if it was their money that was used to buy it, and as if it was their money that was used to mod it.

    Worse, some people claim not only their gift car as theirs, but other cars in their garage as well.

    Of course, this is a free forum and everyone can make their ihi as high as they want, but if I had it my way I'd prefer people to be honest.

    "ko" is easier to say than "namin" or "ng parents ko".
    besides, in their circle of friends, everyone knows who really owns that car..

    my first car was so bad, i thought i had to spare my parents from shame by saying it's mine..

    heh heh.

    I don't get caught up in it. If a member has access to any car, whether it's his or family-owned, it's effectively that member's car with regards to people here.

    Yup, to each his own. I'm just the type to prefer to work for things rather than have them handed to me on a silver platter, so I make it a point to acknowledge and pay gratitude when something was given as a gift vs something that I worked my ass off for.

    It's not because it's easier but it's an ego thing...

    the ego makes it difficult for the boy to say "ng parents ko" or "namin".

    but i see the point..

    x2 on whatever you said. First time in my life that i experienced it getting backed up from EDSA all the way to White Plains!!!

    If they want to improve flow and manage the EDSA traffic, cut a part of the EDSA Shrine frontage corner for a proper right turn merge lane to EDSA from White Plains avenue.

    if the mmda were in charge, after a few weeks, those barriers will quietly disappear.. and there will be a large sign, "barriers temporarily removed..".
    ...just like what they did under the quezon ave-edsa intersection, some time ago. .. they blocked left- and u-turns. it proved so un-popular, they reverted to the original scheme, but they did leave a sign, "...temporary u-turn".

    I think it's a guy thing. When my brother was young, he would make takas cars that even my Dad rarely drives. Then he makes excuses to borrow other cars in the family. Pa impress sa babae. I guess eventually men outgrow that stage.

    As a newbie here, I don't have any idea to start a thread. I wanted to ask the forum members sana if they have any comments or reviews about the Peugeot 508.

    Unfortunately this backs up the traffic all the way to katipunan. Its that bad.

    And to be honest they just eat up one lane ever since. Bus drivers who don't give in normally make sure of that so I don't think it solved any problem but actually created a new one.

    And the source of the EDSA traffic back-up on the NB lane in the morning is not the cars coming from White Plains but the Santolan intersection due to the sheer vehicle volume coming from QC/Marikina/Marcos Highway converging here to make their way to EDSA SB.

    Should I really get a job ASAP... Or enjoy being a tambay muna. Well not really a tambay but I act as my parents' "secretary" na din, punta sa bank, bayad ng bills, etc. Tapos I have the time to work out din (parents have always been wanting me to lose weight)

    Ang saya sana mag graduate na, pero di ko pa din ramdam yung "urge" na mag work na. Sigh.

    And btw, dun sa post earlier about people claiming cars as their own, I refuse to "claim" our car even if it was bought since I graduated na. (less burden for them maybe) I've always wanted a brand new car kasi tingin ko nasasayang ang pera kakapagawa (as in weekly may sira), sabi ko para sa family naman, not for me. Ayun, 10 years later natupad na.

    Sana din yung iba pag nakakita ng post na nabigyan ng car (tulad sa TGP), maging masaya na lang, we never know the story behind it anyway.

    For me it's still best to start early but there are also late bloomers. To each his own sir. You'll understand my meaning sooner or later in life [emoji4] Enjoy!

    Figures. I just got rid of my last PC that has a 3.5" floppy drive. Then, I was rummaging in our rental storage when I came across a container full of 3.5" floppy disks. I guess I should've labeled them back then. Feeling just a little bit silly.
