    Probably to highlight that the pre-owned car won't break down in the middle of a long drive. But, anybody who buys a used car should know to give it a full check up to find out any potential issues before using it.

    Every drive IS a long drive when you're driving in metro manila and the nearby provinces. They didn't say long continuous drive anyway.

    luma ba talga technology ni mitsubishi? kase until now gumagawa pa sila ng euro 2 - 4D56 engine on leaf spring suspensions, tapos ang alarm system 3rd party installed, not the ones na OEM built by fujitsu or panasonic and others...

    A properly maintained vehicle is one where you can just ride and drive out to the boondocks, with no worry. The only people who can determine that are the actual owners themselves and I never take such words from a used car dealer as even if they are giving an honest assessment, they may overlook things.

    After reading through countless ads and buying second hand vehicles in the past, there are certain types of sellers who really know their car in and out in the way they describe the service history and issues, and even the things they keep in their garage (their tool sets, spare parts, personal cleaning and detailing materials, etc.; These are the kinds of sellers i look for.

    I don't mind the financial side so long as it's within the proper bounds. It's nice to give (and I've also been surprised by how things come back).

    Preparing for a long drive to the north. I can't remember the toll fees for NLEX-SCTEX and TPLEX. Any ideas?

    You always wanted the Prado. Go for it. Though the twin turbo v6 explorer is fun as well and has the most toys and goodies. Also the most modern. Though its not a true 4x4.

    The gimiks with wifey and the kids after our night masses (simbang gabi) are eating-bonding times.

    Precious times together indeed...

    I never imagined telling this [study outside of the country- and them to decide whether to come back or settle there] to my kids now, as I get irritated every time my Dad tells me this [settle outside of the country] when I was young...

    Oh well,- but it was also my "outside dream" to study abroad,- it's just that we don't have the means,- and I knew that I flunked the American History exam items when I applied for college scholarship. Deym!- I was extremely good at History,- but Asian History at that since that was taught in HS...

    I guess I would like to live that dream with our kids,- since I can now support them. It's up to them, though.

    one meets his destiny often in the road he takes to avoid it. somebody said it, and it could be true.

    in 2008, together with a number of my colleagues, we helped in ensuring the peaceful installation of several agrarian reform beneficiaries in villareal, bawayan city and caranoche, sta. catalina, all in the province of negros oriental, who were denied by the former land owners to till the land that were awarded to them. that time the provincial agrarian reform officer of negros oriental was murdered, and they requested us to intervene.

    for that, the then secretary of the DAR, nasser c pangandaman, gave each of us a "plaque of appreciation" and cash reward of Php5,000.00. at that time, i did not give this "plaque of appreciation" special significance, because, to me, it was all in a day's work; and, it came from outside of our organization.

    fast-forward earlier this year.
    the jbc (the constitutional body that screens applicants to the judiciary and recommends their appointment to the president) interviewed me. the first question that was thrown at me was: "why did you receive an award from the secretary of agrarian reform?" jose v mejia, the jbc member who asked me that question, said: "i asked you that question because i was formerly employed with DAR and you were not connected then with that department but you received an award from the secretary. i was curious why."

    now, i'm thinking, there are really things in life that you can't just explain. some called them coincidence or fate.
