jun pekto was right on the money. if the slot is slanted then nose first. if there's a sign which says nose first then by all means i follow it. however, when the slots are two narrow, i find it easier to back up.

OT: there was this girl who was parking at paseo de sta. rosa. there was no reason for her to park tail first but i guess she just wanted to show off or maybe she needed practice. i heard a loud thud and you guessed it, she hit another car. she nonchalantly rolled down her window and looked out, then again, nonchalanty, drove away.
