What Are You Thinking About?

[Deestone]

if you feel your need is justified, contact them.
they honor justified reasons.

I called up DFA hotline and they told me I cannot book thru phone I can only book thru their online website so no choice I have to wait and check everytime to see if slots will open up. I wish I had the algorithm to check it out for me.

Anyone here renewed their passport recently in DFA Aseana? we plan to use the courtesy lane for passport application and renewal for 2 minors..... but is the slot limited or should we go early?

if you think you won't make it in time for your foreign appointments,
cancel your bookings sa plane and hotel already (if you already have them), before they become completely non-refundable.
cancel and probably, re-schedule your activity for a later date. inform all concerned.

re. courtesy lane.
sometimes, the courtesy lane is just as long as the regular lane.
once, i went to the regular lane, as the courtesy lane was full, whereas the regular lane had vacancies. i was regularly re-visiting the online reg, when biglang nagkaron nang bakante.

DFA will bend over backwards for us, if our reason is truly valid. simply saying "walang bakante" won't cut it, 'though.
my colleague once had her expiring passport validated, just a day before the plane trip. apparently, her reason was sound.

good luck.

if i may,

"nagkataon lang, po." i am confident, they did not open it for deestone's exclusive convenience.
it's the 16th today, over halfway thru the month. probably the regular scheduled time for opening the following month's queueing. whatever, it was great, 'though un-intended, timing!
good luck to you!
heh heh .

btw,
there's a mcdo outlet across the street, if breakfast and/or snack are in your plans.
parking is, last time we went, at the pay parking lot across. but i suspect, some folks park at the mcdo...

Can you recommend a good digital tire inflator? I bought one in shopee a year ago and I seldom use it then I just realize right now it isn't working. I bought the rectangular one with black / yellow color it is all over Shopee but quality is no good.

almost a year na yung Xiaomi/Mi tire inflator ko, yung rechargable and ok naman. one charge siguro can inflate a 4 tires from 25 to 30 psi. I also have a non-digital tire inflator yung sinasaksak pa sa cig lighter, more than 10 years na and still working.

For your montero buy a heavy duty >250 psi Elevo inflator.
I bought one from Concorde , almost 7 years and still working.
My road trips must have tool.

Dont buy the cheap 150 psi inflators, it doesn't last and overheat fast.
Good only for small tire cars.

This reminds me of the tire inflator I bought sa lazada na ikinakabit sa cigarette lighter. We haven't tried it yet since hindi naman kinailangan. We just put it next to the spare tire. Maybe I should try it kaysa dumating ang time na kailangan na only to find out na defective pala.

Yes I did use my tire inflator at least every 3 to 4 months just to check if it is working.

Ah yes the portable one I have seen it in Shopee I might consider it but it doesn't have a spare lighter socket right? It is just portable and rechargeable.

Just curious why would I need a tire inflator pag mag out of town trip or anywhere for that matter? Pag flat eh di flat ano pa inflate ko eh butas na nga.

Actually tama ka, pag bumigay sa byahe, malala yun, as in hindi kaya inflate dahil sa laki ng butas. But may time na ung palang spare mo ay malambot na for whatever reason. Although mas important sya na pag gising mo sa umaga at flat sya, and you're out on business, pwede mo sya inflate till you reach a vulcanizing shop. Or kung OC ka dahil nakita mo sa tire monitor mo na off ka by 1 psi [emoji23]

Blow out naman yung iniisip mo, sa ganyan wala talagang silbi inflator.
Karamihan naman sa flat hindi blow out, mostly na pako at iba pa.
Napapansin malambot ang gulong pag check pagkatapos mag cr o pagka food break.
Inflator para madagdagan ang hangin para dika running flat at madala mo sa pinaka malapit na vulcanising.
Yung mga mahilig mag road trip may bitbit pa na repair kit bukod sa inflator.

Ang gulong na tube o may interior, walang silbi ang inflator.

[shadow]

Bakit hinde na lang palitan ng spare then go the nearest vulcanizing shop? The least siguro meron naman donut spare tire.

Huwag isama yun mga EV na walang spare tire. Ewan ko kung ano dapat gawin pag ganun baka meron dalang yun canister na pump sa gulong mga EV

Hindi ganun kadali magpalit ng spare tire lalo na kung SUV / Pick up ang sasakyan.
Kahit kotse, hirap sa paglagay palang ng jack lalo na pag wala ng hangin ang gulong.
Ang standard tire wrench na nasa mga sasakayan ay almost useless, lalo na pag corroded o may kalawang na tire nut.
Yung nag DIY na nagpapalit ng gulong yan yung mga OC sa road trip may aligator jack pa at heavy duty tire wrench.
Pero kung kung gusto mo easy going hindi papawisan inflate mo lang then punta sa nearest vulcanising sila ang papawisan hindi ikaw.

my most common use for the tyre inflator, is to inflate the flat-ish or very soft tyre as i inspect the vehicle in the morning prior to driving away.
it is not everytime, that i feel i can still drive to the tyre repair shop with that soft tyre.

inflator is like insurance.
we pay good money for one, then pray we need never to have to use it.
