5 Best Ways to Save Money (By being cheap)
Posted on | October 8, 2008 | 3 Comments
Managing one’s finances is a challenge to many. Mismanaging one’s resources can prove catastrophic in many ways than one. Believe me, I know. I’ve been living on scraps and alms for the past few weeks. I went on an impulse shopping spree at Greenbelt with my neighbor’s ninang (godmother) and treated my not-so-close friends on a weekend getaway in Hong Kong… just because I bragged I can. So you see, I have to do with the 52 Php (around 1.03$) left in my wallet until Friday - the much anticipated payday. This got me thinking, what are the ways that I can save up on precious limited cash? I really don’t want to do away with my splurges because it would hurt my image. I’m kinda hip and posh like that you know. So I’ll just save up via what I call “alternative means of financial management”. In other words, by being cheap like a 3-peso notebook. Because really, all it takes is a little extra face padding.
Good news.
#5. Hit the sachets. You those little sachets of ketchup, hot sauce, sugar, creamer, etc. they give out in restaurants and fast foods? Well, you can save up on your grocery expenses by asking for more that what you really need for your hash browns and coffee. By stacking up on free condiments, you can save up by as much as $10 per trip to the grocery. Now that’s amazing savings right there!
7 Notorious Modes of Public Transportation in the Philippines
Posted on | October 2, 2008 | 5 Comments
Public transportation here in the Philippines suck really needs improvement. It sucks so much ass that it doesn’t make any difference between walking 20 kms. under the scorching heat of the sun and the riding some screwed up public means of transportation.
Let me elaborate. Here in the Metro, you can either ride:
#7. the MRT - and get yourself mugged, groped and squeezed the living crap out of you during rush hours. (Rush hour = 24/7) While it is said to be “the cheapest and most convenient” means of getting around the Metro, I say it can be the most stressful of all public utility transportation units. It’s always packed with smelly orcs and sweaty fat office boys wearing iPods thinking they’re some techno dude or something. I really hate it when it becomes so packed because I always I find my face squished at some douche’s hairy armpit.
Of all places, he sits next to you. Topless.
Stop frowning Juan dela Cruz : The government is currently planning on increasing the number of MRT/LRT lines around the Metro. I heard they’re planning to put up 3 more lines that would fully interconnect all the major thoroughfares in the different cities. If you’re coming from Ayala, no need to pass the Cubao Station (also known as the 6th level of hell), alight and ride another LRT just so you can go to Recto Station for your Divisioria shopping spree. Also, I hope what I’m saying here is true (becomes true) because if it’s not, that would really suck right?

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

Dear Computer Generated Wordpress Default Message,
errr… Thanks! But you see, this is not Wordpress. This is The Vandal Box. And you’re stepping on our turf.
Hmm… yes, it looks like the first post indeed. The first post of the site alright. But you see, I didn’t make the post. You did. And I really don’t appreciate the fact that you got to post first while this is not even your fucking site.
It’s funny how you try to make me (and the rest of world) believe that this post is actually our first post while it’s actually a computer generated post. I LOL at your face, computer! Let me tell you 3 reasons why your puny of a welcome post can NOT be part of the Vandal Box :
1) It’s not witty. Welcome to WordPress? Haha. What are you, some kind of a tourist guide from Korea? “Welcome to ______” is so 1990s. Whenever I see the word “Welcome” it reminds me of those doormats placed outside those Indian convenience stores.
How NOT to welcome guests.
That’s not how to welcome guests. You welcome them by giving them something totally unexpected. Like this:
