new face and old problems
I overcame my fear of not knowing how to go about changing my blogskin :D. TADA! I let go of the haloscan commenting system though, so I guess that means goodbye to all the meaningful comments posted in the past. I prefer being able to track comments via blogger’s system.

The distance from our house to my son’s school is 3 kms. So I drive an average of 12 kms a day, I bring my son to school, go home, then fetch him after 3 hours. And that equals PHP 100 of gasoline everyday. So that’s like PHP 500 a week, PHP 2000 a month. Hubby, on the other hand, spends at least PHP250 a day for his car’s gas. So a large chunk of our monthly household income goes to gasoline expenses. God.
Hubby said that our country’s gas prices are actually cheap compared to those in other countries. The difference would be their income is at least equal to their cost of living, thus their people don’t go on rallies in front of gasoline companies’ headquarters.

Your hubby’s right about it. We should be thankful that gasoline is still quite affordable over there. Here in the UK it plays at around 99p to £1 to a liter. At the current exchange rate, it’s 96.80 per liter to the gasoline over here. Pagkain na ng 1 pamilya diba? Haay! I was surprised that diesel is more expensive over here.
The only thing I can suggest is to plan your trips ahead. I used to be a go-by-your-trip driver - kung maisipan lumarga, lalayas pero masakit na sa bulsa ang gas prices dyan so I started planning my trips. If they aren’t necessary, I just don’t go. ‘Di rin naman na ako nagpupublic transport dyan (unless I take the cab) dahil nakakapundi ang pollution at mga drivers unlike dito na sobrang efficient ang public transport system.
