I wasn't sure if it was already there last time, but surely this time, I am sure that I already have noticed it. At first I thought it was supposed to be some Christmas lights as what others have also thought so, but I was surprised these thing made my life a lot more easier. Yup, I am talking about that green light that turns to red when a vehicle parks under that spot. The Parkfinder that made my life easy. I know that this might be an uber late blog post for this, but I am giving 2 thumbs up for MOA for this! Yup, its the first that I saw, from all the malls that I have been into. SM Mall of Asia installed this to help drivers get into parking easily. Wow, asteeeg! Sa laki ba naman ng parking ng SM Mall of Asia, talagang pahirapan ang pagkuha ng parking space dun, specially at weekends, kung kelan marami ang tao na walang pasok. Though there are some spots na naka green ang ilaw even though may nakapark na. I think its either hindi sila naka align sa sensor or sira ang sensor. Ilang beses din akong na wow mali dito! naka green pero may laman. I ...

Nice one!, I got this at the tsikot.com's goon squad section. This just made me burst into laughter, I was wondering if this would happen here in our country specially in the busy streets of manila... I will laugh at the MMDA or other authorities if this would have happened to them. Actually, I already have experienced my car being towed. It was around October 2007 then, when I was at the peak of my review for my nursing licensure exam at the Pentagon Review Center, but the venue was at the UE Auditorium. I parked right infront of UE along recto, and to my surprise, our reviewer, Sir Jerome Balisnomo aka Goldie just announced that a car was being towed. He described it and then announced the plate number. I literally jumped off my chair to chase the MTPB who towed my car. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything but a letter with a map on where to redeem my precious car. My day was devastated then, I was in the mood for reviewing but was distracted because of what the MTPB did. When I arrived at their office, I was damn mad about what they did, all they told me was it was ...

I have drove along Commonwealth Avenue back then when I have had my duty at Far Eastern University Hospital and Tala Leprosarium in Northern Caloocan, I can therefore say that 40 speed limit is rather insane. I am thinking if they have mistakenly interpreted 40 kph against 40 mph (which is around 60 kph). Imagine jeepneys and buses crawling at that speed in the very wide highway of Commonwealth Avenue. If they were to implement this, buses and jeepneys should also have their own lanes and should not use the lanes intended for private drivers like me, since imagine a highway cluttered with crawling PUV's, vehicles would just get clogged in the long run, specially when rush hour comes. 40 kph is a bit ridiculous though, but thankfully only PUV's are affected with this speed limit. It's not just kinda slow, but 40 kph is too slow for a big road, lets just say that it should have been the minimum and 60 kph as the maximum. Commonwealth avenue is so wide that it is very tempting to blast your engines at full speed whenever you're driving there that 40 kph would seem to be like you are running on 10 - 20 ...

Motorists call them the Big 3, others call them the Big Players, but I prefer to call them "The Bastard Three". If you are an auto - enthusiast, Sundaydriver, or just an ordinary motorist. It wouldn't matter if you are driving sedans, suvs, trucks, or motorcycles, no matter how pimped your ride is, we all do know that "all motorists lead to gas stations". If that is so then, we know that every single centavo counts. Every single centavo added up or subtracted down to the current oil price is a big deal. I may say that people who do not drive, or people who drive but do not own a vehicle or use the vehicle sparingly wouldn't mind this everyday headline in the news on tv and on papers everyday. I remember back then when I was just commuting from school to home (well I am serviced by my dad from home to school back then), these news about oil price hikes wouldn't ring a bell. I wouldn't mind if fares keep on going up because of these price hikes, I wouldn't mind about those "tigil-pasada" But soon as I have stepped into my 3rd year in college, I was given my first car, ...

I was traversing the road from National Teachers College along Padre Casal St. down to the intersection in Taft Avenue here in Manila, and I was having a hard time maneuvering. Why? Well it is because I was trailing behind a container van. Well what about it? It would have been just fine trailing this container van, but the problem is, the van's contents are spilling all over the place! The bad thing about that is, its contents are White Paint! And it seems that the driver and his subordinates have no idea that the contents of their container vans are spilling all over the place. Plus add to the fact that, Padre Casal's long road is under "Gold Mining Exploration" courtesy of the MMDA, so the said truck was switching lanes from time to time leaving the motorists behind him no choice but to roll over the paint on the pavement. The worst thing there is I am just 1 to 2 cars away from the truck. Good thing is that I have had built enough distance from the other cars and the said container van that I am able to see the spilled paint on the road. Worst thing is, whenever we would ...

October 25th 2008 is the big day! Hay 2 Grand EB na ang lumalampas sa akin, at maraming mini-eb na ang napalipas ko! Its either I was way busy back then since may classes pa nung college days, or either there have been other planned na lakad or sometimes napakalayo ng mga venues. This time the venue is within reach, this time wala nang college classes, but still there is something, it's my girlfriend's birthday, so I think baka mapadaan lang ako sa venue, which is on THE HOBBIES MALL at Macapagal. This is said to be the biggest and grandest ever of all the Grand EB. 6 Years na ang Tsikot! Dalawa dun ay napalampas ko na! wah! Pasenxa na Sir Jedi! Congratulations pala sa tsikot.com, I am glad to be a part of the Tsikoteers Union. I'll try my best, but maybe baka may mga makasabay lang ako sa daan if ever I am on the way to my girlfriend's place. Sa Macapagal din naman ako dumadaan so if ever anyone would see me, just give me 5 consecutive beeps! My car is not that hard to spot, may tsikot.com sticker ako sa rear windshield and side windows along with an FEU Sticker. Toyota ...

LTO is planning to add another hocus pocus on their driver's license application. What is this? Another money making scheme? They are planning to add a Psychiatric exam for those who would apply fo a new driver's license exam. Alberto Suansing said "I consider motor vehicles as a lethal weapon no different from a firearm, and if not if handled properly it could hurt and even kill somebody" That is bull. That is another additional expense on the part of the applicant. Plus this is nonsense! I haven't seen a mad man driving around. A mad man would not even think of applying for a driver's license would they? This is totally bull. No doubt. Another kind of Hocus pocus Another kind of trick under Alberto Suansing's sleeves. Instead of thinking about this, why wouldn't LTO try to focus on other problems that are much more important? What kind of problems?? Well , if I would mention all of them, I would not be able to finish up until later, plus I wouldn't even know if there were other new problems that have risen as of today. But to mention it, here are some. A quicker driver's license application processing. True, since back in 2004 when I first applied ...

Bimmer vs Beemer Enthusiasts vs others Definitions: Bimmer - proper accepted slang for BMW cars. Most people don't know this. Beamer/Beemer - proper accepted slang for BMW motorcycles. You will hear this term used incorrectly by many people. Bummer - When you get a speeding ticket. Bitter - Another German car. Very rare; hand built. So just why is a BMW car called a 'bimmer' not a 'beemer' or 'beamer'? The answer in part lies in knowing some BMW history and what came first. All real BMW enthusiasts know that BMW got a big start on two wheels, what many call the real BMWs. In those days, BMW motorcycles were quite active in racing, and one of their competitors at the track was often the BSA bikes. Well as things would have it, a track slang developed, and the BMWs were usually referred to as 'beemers' and the BSAs were referred to as 'beesers'. So, of course for any true enthusiast, there is no way that a BMW car could be called a 'beemer', so they were called 'bimmers'. Unfortunately, in the US and Canada, and perhaps other countries, there was a time (kind of still is) where for various reasons, a BMW owner was considered an upwardly mobile person, and ...
