'Reserving' a parking slot

[ice15]

Sa ibang malls at establishment dito sa amin nagsasabi talaga guard kapag full parking na. Minomonitor nila. Sana nga ganun lahat pero madalas wala. Sa may parking fee lang talaga ata consistent na namomonitor if puno na kasi nga nagbabayad eh. May tracker sila ng pumasok at lumabas na.

itong Saturday lang... super daming lakad so decided to use my Vespa instead...

sa door pa lang papasok ng parking, a car wash boy was asking if aalis na ako and if he can reserve my parking slot. sabi ko, naka motor ako today kaya di ako makakatulong sa kanila.

when I reached my Vespa - 4th floor parking as puno na yung 2nd and 3rd levels, a lady went to me asking if aalis na ako, then he called her husband na doon na lang daw sila sa slot na aalisan ko... imagine, pati motorcycle parking naubos na!

Iba na talaga panahon, daming may sasakyan at lalo na motor. Ako nga parang gusto ko na din bumili ng motor ulit kasi hassle ng parking kung 4 wheels. Mas mabilis talaga gumalaw kapag motor lang lalo na kung short errands.

two-wheelers are inherently unstable, and offer practically zero protection during mis-happenings.

"i may have money, but i want to spend it the happy way, and not in a hospital."
heh heh.

we all don't leave the house/wake up in the morning waiting for the worst to happen.

yes, a motorcycle being the smaller vehicle may not be as lucky during an unwanted accident, but same thing with a Miata hitting a truck... a motorcycle falling into a river may be safer than a car... pero as I said, no one wants to be in an accident, so ingat ingat lang.

I just find it super annoying na establishments does not stop cars from entering their premises if the parking is full... sana may text blast ang MMDA saying na MOA parking is full, or Trinoma is full...

Just this month alone... 3 times na ako nag-pa-carwash kahit malinis ang car ko just get a parking slot! pati slots ng PWD and EVs puno!
Sa hospital (also this month) - even the valet parking was full! I gave my keys to the guard na lang and told him na sya na bahala sa car ko, usap na lang kami before I leave.

Given a choice between a four-wheeler and two-wheeler, four-wheeler hands down.

I agree.

Unfortunately majority of Pinoys can't afford a car.

And in some instances, riding an MC is more convenient like, as I said, small errands like buying some tools/grocery items in a local hardware/grocery you suddenly needed. It's just easier to use, park and maneuver an MC.

Lalo na kung nagmomotor ka naman talaga before. Mas nauna ako natuto mag-motor kesa mag-4 wheels. Kaya kakamiss din talaga mag-MC.

had this conversation sa office a couple of weeks back.
rider din si misis so we sometimes use our Vespas to work.

2 vs 4 wheels - may A/C yung 4 wheels, hence 4 wheels kami
pero if it was an owner type jeep - then I'd rather use a motorcycle

to those where money is not an issue,
bmw has an aircon-ed motorcycle.
heh heh.

If you have that money, any MC can be aircon-ed.

Haha & might still be discussing it 18 years later in 2042 hehe.

Happy Monthsary!

Looks like all MMDA can do is to urge the LGU's city councils to pass respective ordinances banning reserve parking because MMDA does not have the authority to ban it.
