New Fare Hikes

Effective July 11 2008, magmamahalan na naman ang mga pamasahe.
Simula sa bus lines with the following:
Ordinary - P 10.00 (minimum)
AIRCON - P 12.00 (minimum)

But on Monday, July 14 2008, other PUVs will be following the said fare increase:
Jeepney - P 8.50
Taxi - + P 10 sa meter. (edi parang P 40 na rin ang starting rate nun)

Hay! Ang mahal na ng pamasahe! Tapos mukhang namimiligro na rin ang MRT. Danger na ang overloading. Sana bumili na sila ng bagong trains at dagdagan nila ang mga byahe.

from SWOOSSHHH! to SLASH!


i'm finally taking my first steps to a debt-free life.

in the past two years, i have filed for credit card applications and in a way i'm "thankful" about it after i received them. "THEM" meaning i've got 3 credit cards and first of which is the "ever-reliable" Citibank. others include AIG and Standard Chartered. being able to catch trendy stuff, eating what i want, getting to places i wanted and feeling "rich" with it. but feeling rich i thought was not a good idea. to cut the long story short, i woke up with a lot of debt.

i realized that i should be getting WHAT I NEED, not WHAT I WANT. i'll just have to save up for what i want.

i should have saved the extra money that i leave on the ATM but instead, it came landing on credit card bills, bills and bills. even the bonuses are getting into the payments too. sure thing that i get the perks from these cards and living a cash-less life, but you resort to, again, getting loans to pay the bills which simply spell D-E-B-T.

you'll think that i am living the "life," but i tell you, you don't want to stay up late thinking about debt. you'll stress yourself out and you hide your worries from others ending up debting again. i'm done with the thinking of "kaya yan ni kumpareng VISA at MASTERCARD" when it comes to expenses. they will pass the burdens to you.

last saturday, i received a mail from this credit card company which they say "upgrades" my account. i realized i don't want another burden in my life. i called them up and i wish them to cancel it. that call allowed me to breathe a little air. my reason is, i'm already clearing my name from them and eventually getting debt-free. and the other card which has been tempting me since day 1, i also cancelled it. i even left the other active cards at home so i'll be living within my means. if ever i'll be receiving a call for any of their offers, may i have the guts to say "i am not interested." i'm taking into advice from financial experts and i am reading their books and blogs. having the belief that i will soon be out of debt. may God bless me.

noon at ngayon

noon ang pinaka-sosyal na tsitsirya e Cheekadeez, ngayon, madami na sila.
noon lahat ng tao nakayuko pag nahihiya lang, ngayon nakayuko dahil nagtetext.
noon ang mga bata naglalaro sa labas ng bahay, ngayon nasa computer shop lahat.
noon kita mo pa ang mga bundok, ngayon puro bahay na.
noon big deal kapag may nabuntis ng di dapat kaya maraming takot, ngayon uso na.
noon mga tikbalang, nuno, manananggal lang ang mga kathang-isip, ngayon ang mag-stay sa isang relasyon ng matagal ay kathang-isip na lang.
noon nagkakausap pa mga magkakapit-bahay, ngayon ni sila hindi nagkikita-kita.
noon kahit sinong doktor pupuntahan kapag may sakit, ngayon dapat sakto sa propesyon.
noon nagkukulang ng tao para sa trabaho, ngayon kulang ang trabaho para sa tao.
noon sariwa pa ang hangin kahit nasa urban ka, ngayon ang tindi!
noon 500 lang, may pang-isang linggo kana, ngayon, pamasahe lang yan.
noon kahit sa mababaw lang, makakahuli ng isda; ngayon bota o plastik na makukuha mo.
noon makakakita ka ng shapes sa clouds, ngayon, parang hindi na ata.
noon masarap lang kumain, ngayon lahat ng kinakain mo, may pampa-cancer.
noon marami pang pang-gastos, ngayon, maraming pang-utang.
noon ang ayos ng buhay ng tao, ngayon ang daming pampagulo.
noon Gloria ang pangalan ng babaeng kinagigiliwan ng lahat, ngayon maraming galit sa Gloria.

haaayyy... sana di nalang natapos ang noon.

Feast of St. John the Baptist



today June 24, the city of San Juan, Metro Manila, commemorates the feast of St. John the Baptist. the prophet who prepared us all for the coming of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. he was killed during the time of Herod Antipas as he was beheaded.

John's main character in the gospels is attributed to his baptism to Jesus Christ at the Jordan River which is now one of the Seven Sacraments in the Catholic Church.

Pero ngayon, ang sine-celebrate sa San Juan, BASAAN! started from 7AM-12NN. kaya ang madayo ng San Juan, sigurado walang ligtas! the city has organized rerouting scheme for motorists na ayaw mabasa at pikon. sinara kasi ang main roads sa San Juan. pero parang ang saya makakita ng tao na lahat wet look! hahaha...
