What Are You Thinking About?

So true, alot of drivers are spaced-out.

The roads are so clear, some drivers think they’re all alone. Either they drive too slow or too fast. Some are turning without looking pa.

Lines at ATMs seem to short to almost none today. But sadly lines at pawnshops are long.

i'll bet remittances yang pinipilahan nila.
in the past, even in the worst of times, hindi pinipalahan ng magsasangla ang pawnshops dito samin.

cebuana and palawan are very popular pawnshop/remittance centers

household items. TV set, radyo & electronics. electric fan. cooking stove. oven toaster. microwave. carpentry tools. garage items. tools of any type. bicycle and padjak. tricycle, motorsiklo & scooter. crash helmet. shades (rayban!). expensive clothes. even kotse and kotse items. cellphone (who says it has to be yours?). reloj (mabuhay ang seiko 5!). jewelry items (dapat magaling kumilatis ang sanglaan folks). stolen goods.
anything of commercial value.

kaluluwa?... not likely. hindi kasi tinutubos yan, eh. 'daming naglalakad diyan nang walang mga kaluluwah..
heh heh.

You'd be surprised that a lot of Filipinos, especially those who rely on foreign/OFW remittances have gold/jewelry stashed. My HS batchmate who has a Japayuki common-law wife never seems to run out of jewelry to pawn or sell off. Never cared for the stuff myself, I guess I got bored seeing pure gold inside rocks and in bars since college.

That's true. My wife has a big suitcase under the bed that's full of gold stuff. Whenever I ask how much they're worth, she says it's none of my business.

I remember when I used to twirl expensive Parker pens back and forth around my thumb. Nowadays? I twirl BIC and Skilcraft government pens.

Just a random thought in my head. I mean with age, it should be from cheap to expensive instead of expensive to cheap.

It's also 1:43 AM and I should be asleep. But, it's not like I'm going anywhere this morning.

With the lack of traffic on all streets and roads, kids with their V8 and tuner cars are having a field day speeding around. I can hear them both on our street and way out in the freeways.

Just heard that credit card payments can be deferred up to 90 days. So most cards will be maxed out and come deadline, boom! Credit card crisis?

I say you pay now while staying at home with not much other expenses. BSP issued a moratorium on loan payments so it eases a bit on your monthly coverage.

Also thinking if I will have my 5yo 50" HD tv repaired for 5k with no warranty or buy a 55" UHD tv for 31k? How long will it take OLED to drop at least 50% from current prices?

Wait for 6 months or a year when newer models arrive. My 10-year-old 50” plasma HD TV is still running fine and I might just keep it until it dies out.

Na miss ko bigla plasma tv ko.

Is it just me or mas maganda color and picture qualitt ng plasma TV. They have deeper blacks and more vivid colors.

Yun nga lang, malakas consumo ng kuryente and mainit compared to my LED tv now.
