^more like personal incompetency.![]()
Parang same lang naman yung gastusin ko ngayon.
Di kaya E10 mabilis maubos?
Hehe anyway mas ramdam lang talaga ngayon yung oil price hike kaysa nung 2008.
Kasi nakakapagpa-full tank pa ko noon, ngayon hindi na.
Tsaka mas matakaw sa gas auto ko ngayon.

sabi ko nga sa inyo. nasa grapevines yan, the objective is the P75/liter or $200/barrel.
The US will get rid of the middle east dependency in the next months to come that's why all of these are happening now. magkakagulo talaga ngaun sa middle east and oil will continue to be very very expensive. hindi ni sya bababa, kahit na bumaba ang dollar sa P30 is to $1.
that's why i opted to buy a Jimny last year to combat this. and never sold any of my old cars. in that way, na-cocontrol ko kahit papano ang gastusin sa bahay. kasi liit lang installment ko sa jimny as compared to others here who bought 1.5M++ suvs.
if oil reaches $200/barrel, suddenly hybrids will become the apple of the eye.
what you are all driving right now are dinosaurs, it will be extinct in a year or so.
imagine buying overinflated prices of cars these days, tapos it's even too expensive to maintain and even just to make it run.
last November, i visited Banawe twice a week. i learned everything that is about to learn there about my cars, on how i can maintain it without casa depedency. you should all do that now, coz pag mas malakas pa kumain ng resources ang cars niyo kaysa pagkain nyo. then that's not smart living at all.
and a word of advice, stop buying new cars now. delikado talaga ang lagay ng mga bansa ngaun coz of that middle east crisis. i'm really really scared that a nuke will really be detonated somewhere around the globe.
syempre anong mangyayari sa middle east after the turmoil and the US decides to pullout, and countries around the world follow suit. you will have a region of poor people na the only thing they can sell is oil eh tapos hindi na din orderin'.
that is also true to businesses today. last year ko pa nakita ang trend, my monthly gross sales is increasing compared to the previous year but my overhead is increasing 2x or 3x more. so to base it on the gross sale is futile coz ang papatay talaga sayo is overhead.
ganun din sa salary, coz in the past years, in less than P100 a single employee can still have a descent meal unlike today.
kaya nga iniwan ko ang businesses and decided to play it out na lang and cut costs sa expenses ko by going to gym (to reduce my food consumption), by limiting my days to work (3 days a week na lang) and I employed computer tools to computerize my life.
like for example, in my iphone i have a database inventory of clothes, shoes, gadgets, accessories. even if I have 5 watches, 4 raybans, 20 shoes, i still manage to work my life efficiently.
like for example, the 5 watches even though it's not as expensive at rolex ones, i give the impression that i own more than 1 big one rolex, and therefore my clients still look up to me. I bought most of the watches last year sa mga US sale. eh naka 100k rolex ka nga, lagi naman yun ang suot mo, eh di halatang-halata, even though its expensive, may pawis pa din yun and that release the negative aura for your clients not to close a sale from you. add to that na pag hinde ka nag-gym, eh lalo nag-moist ang katawan mo. talagang wala, you're losing a lot of opportunity ....
btw, by databasing your life, you can cut down a lot of admin work na i-hire mo as employees and therefore overhead.
i also learned this sa states, where everything was automated from car parking to money exchange to ticket payments. if the US is surviving a sluggish economy bec. of their computerization. then why the hell not apply it personally to my life d'ba? let's face it a lot of jobs will be eliminated in the next months to come.
now there are even talks the Ipad2 will destroy a lot of jobs even more and put more people to the unemployed market.
people watch this:
it's an eye-opener. and i'm just waiting for the opportune time to bounce back.

Oil Prices Plunge In Record Sell-Off
First Posted: 05/ 5/11 04:36 PM ET Updated: 05/ 5/11 06:24 PM ET
NEW YORK -- Oil prices took a nosedive Thursday in a historic selloff, erasing weeks of gains and indicating that the months-long climb in energy prices may have hit a ceiling.
Crude oil plunged 10 percent as startled investors unloaded their positions and a weeklong decline accelerated into an outright freefall. The price of U.S. crude went from triple digits to double digits, falling below $100 after opening at close to $110. Brent crude, a European benchmark, lost $12 at one point in a sell-off that exceeded the one following Lehman Brothers' collapse, Reuters reported.
An oil correction is underway, experts said, as the price is moving toward what fundamental economic factors dictate it should be. For the American consumer, plagued by weeks of rising energy prices that have begun to weigh heavily on the economy, a bit of respite may be at hand.
"This is just a market that rolled over and started feeding on itself," said John Richards, head of North American strategy for the Royal Bank of Scotland.
"Prices can't go up forever," said Mark Vitner, a senior economist at Wells Fargo. "The threat was very real, but it's also very self-correcting."
The effect of Thursday's market move on gas prices remains to be seen. But experts said it's a correction that was long overdue.
"Clearly these markets were overblown," said Nariman Behravesh, chief economist of IHS Global Insight. "We've been saying all along the fear factor has probably added 10 to 15 dollars to the price of a barrel."
i doubt that it's just a temporary reprieve. ganyan naman stock market eh, they can't do anything about what's going to happen.
hindi basta direct plunge, oil did rise up gradually and so as the flow goes, gradual din ang pagbaba nyan
As suspected a huge price rollback was in the cards... Expect more... Commodity prices has been slammed hard...
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakin...-petrol-pricesMANILA, Philippines—With world crude prices falling, Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp. is cutting gas prices shortly after midnight Sunday, Radyo Inquirer reported.
Diesel price will be cut by P1.75 per liter, P1.25 for regular gasoline, P0.50 for unleaded gasoline, P2 for kerosene, it reported Saturday, quoting Shell vice president for communications Bobby Kanapi.
Would there be another one on tuesday or is this it? Holding back kasi...
May rollback Shell, Chevron at Seaoil mayang 12 am 1.75 sa diesel at 0.50 sa unleaded at premium gas.
Ang liit naman ng rollback sa gas. Parang sa gas binabawi ng mga oil companies rollback sa diesel.
