    Ako naman sensing what'll happen coz I saw the rain from Manila to Makati from my bldg. i rushed to BGC kagad from Makati, Still got stuck in a 10 min standstill sa BGC bridge from Makati to BGC good thing it cleared

    Parked in BGC Mukti-level at 530pm. Took a quick nap (15min) while hard rain. My wife shopped nearby.

    600pm I said to my wife Im hungry, so we ate at Bonchon just below the parking. After an hour, even the road in front of bonchon where jampacked na. So I said to my wife, let's prove na congested na traffic all over. So we walked to Market Market. All those streets in Bonifscio high street locked with cars na, probably suggested by waze lol

    So yun We went to market market, there was car showcase there most brands, fortuner, montero, suzuki, and even Foton topllander, I tried it all hehe. After 30 min of that.

    We went inside the mall. place is filled with stranded commuters. We went to Japan Home and Daiso. i never had time to study their products so I took time, analyzing and studying all of it. i always needed the data for my analysis company,

    At 830pm, traffic is still bad outside so we walked to SM Aura. Window-shopped, strolled and strolled, ordered and ate dessert. Finally, I memorized Most of SM aura's shops.

    At 10pm, we checked waze. Traffic still standstill at both edsa and c5.
    So we proceeded walk back to high street. In high street, there was a number of people playing pokemon go in a particular spot. So i observed them, what they do how they behave for 30 min. I dont play Pokemon but I like observing and then the idea came in. i'm going to convince our clients to support this Pokemon craze so that they can have foot traffic in their business.

    Then We walked to Shangrila, toby's estste is alresdy open. Since it's cold snd rainy, we ordered hot coffee and took a selfie with the coffee. Got like 50+ likes coz some of my friends didnt know it was already open

    At 1130pm, checked waze again and plotted my destination home. It says their 30 mins kaya naman with some minor traffic. So yun went home, I paid P70 for BGC parking, I tried to fill up sa Shell and was surprised to see a long line in shell station up to bridge, dami halos naubusan ng fuel.

    So there, it was productive night I guess,


    ----

    Btw, halal guys has promo mayroon na sila P99 meal. I noticed coz there was a line there yesterday

    I got lucky. I left the CBD at around 930 and was in QC at 1030 via several backroads.

    It won't work as people will always have to move about.

    Fixing mass transport is still the focus here as that's what will encourage us to leave our cars at home or a transport hub parking.

    Of course im wary about opening subdivisions and i do hope they first address the vehicles that slow traffic on the streets; that be the cars who stop and park, PUVs and PUBs that refuse to load and unload properly, etc.

    Hmmm, coding for first digit & last digit? Yeah like what Cathy said, people would just buy more cars (well those that can afford).

    Lagot ako if this happens because both of my cars have the same first digit. I will be forced to buy another car. I'll just get a 90s car or any car not over 150k

    We must also remember that the Skyway constructions play a role on why EDSA is pretty much bad 24/7. Id expect a little relief once this is done.

    At BGC, when one vehicle stops on the main road to wait for a passenger, it slows traffic considerably.

    the original schedule talked of two years. it's already one year. it does not look like two years will do it, to me. let us hope the new leadership will convince the constructors to be true to their word.
