My nighttime drive tune

My 3rd day straight of just sitting here in front of our dining table, the place I’ve conquered and marked as my study table since I started studying – again, accompanied by hundreds of mp3 selections while I try to read and browse through my Strategic Management textbook in preparation for my first class [...]

Daang Hari: an accident waiting to happen

I’m getting excited about my continuous quest for a much safer road. Just this past Friday, ABS-CBN, through its recently launched BMPM (or Bayan Mo iPatrol Mo) effort, featured a video my wife and I shot last year from Daang Hari. Being a frequent user of this road, I can’t help but wonder how [...]

How we drive

Today’s Twitter session brought something new. Other than politics, politics, politics & showbiz – all looks basically the same now, anyway – finally someone tweeted about driving. One tweep posted this link – Is it possible to design a better stop sign? and reading it led me to more interesting sites like – Howwedrive.com. Both of [...]

Motorcycle discipline

How many times have we seen news reports of people injured due to motorcycle accidents? How many times have we heard our authorities warning our fellowmen to take extra precautions when riding a motorcycle? How many people we personally know had their lives changed because of split seconds of supposedly avoidable circumstances? How many [...]

How’s my driving?

I bet that almost everyone who’s commuting daily read this question printed on each and every public transport vehicle. I also bet that most if not all probably thinks this is just some useless print similar to the No Smoking sign inside the jeepneys that not even its drivers care to follow. But guess [...]

My day with more stupid drivers

Several cancellations later, due to the crazy weather for weeks already, I decided to push through with my trip back to MSEUF in Lucena to do a couple of things – process my transcript transmittal to Ateneo and finally, after three long years, claim my yearbook. I went on, leaving my car at home [...]

An open letter to all car manufacturers

Dear car manufacturers, Greetings from the Philippines! I’m one of those drivers whose daily commute has either brought me more wrinkles on my forehead (plus the accompanying white hairs) or, luckily, brilliant ideas about how I can help you decide on what to do for your next car models. I’m presenting here a list [...]

School parking

It’s my 2nd term already in Ateneo Rockwell but it is just lately that I decided to avail of the school’s parking mainly because of one thing – avoid the Powerplant Mall or the nearby Starbucks. No, there’s neither a threat of the dreaded AH1N1 nor an occurrence of carnapping incidents. It’s just because I’m [...]

SLEX Traffic woes

Yesterday I unexpectedly attended the Ateneo’s MBA freshmen orientation after being told by our professor that she highly encourages us to be there even though its schedule is in conflict with our Information Technology class, thus she’s allowing us to be out of our first session.Since I didn’t anticipated being there and that I didn’t [...]

This car isn’t meant to be in the Philippines

Audi TT (Picture originally uploaded by Trente-deux) Late last night, while just several kilometers away from home and while cautiously avoiding a number of potholes that seem to appear out of nowhere (every night), I noticed a black car with its hazard lights on coming from my right side view mirror. The [...]
