As of this posting, premium gasoline costs Php62.00 or about US$1.37 per liter. There's a rumor that it shall reach Php70.00 per liter. There's even a rumor that public jeepney fare would reach Php10.00 for the first 5 kilometers.

For the sake of practicality, some people are turning to riding motorcycles especially when going to work or even when going to school. The advantages in riding a motorcycle on your way to work or school are:

• You can go to anywhere, anytime.
• You can zip in and out of traffic.
• You can park when there's a tiny bit of space available.
• As a light vehicle, you spend an average 45 kilometers per liter or about a day to two days worth of travelling back and forth to home-office-school.

Talking about gas prices, last time I gassed up, Caltex Silver was around Php59/liter (US$1.32 at Php44.50/USdollar). Now it's around Php60/liter (still US$1.32 at Php45.35/USdollar). Luckily, my ride is a Japanese surplus Suzuki Carry: a 2WD dropside/pickup type with 3/4 canopy, 660cc 3-cylinder 12-valve engine, with 13-inch tires.

I average about 25- to 30-kilometers of daily travel from the house, going to the office, fetching my kid, sometimes doing groceries, going around downtown Bacolod.

Two weeks ago, I received a private message from TAPGSM.COM.PH about my good friend ED2K.

He's fine actually, in good health, but a bit down in spirit.

Ed Meijia is the founder of TAP (The All-Pinoy GSM ) GSM Forum and popularly known as ED2K since year 2000. Thus "2K" in Ed2K, as in Ed-2000. As years goes by, he is known as Ed2k1 (Ed-2001), Ed2k2 (Ed-2002), etc. ED2K is one among the forerunners in the realm of the then 2nd generation GSM cellphone world. He was among the respected forumers of the then most popular German-based GSM Forum. Ed2k became the first very well respected Filipino moderators of the GSM Forum.

Okey, so this is my first post. Using b2evolution, that is.
