LRT Blog



Have you experience a time when we plan something and you thought that it would have a good outcome, and then when it happens it just fails. That’s me every morning, I always say to myself that I would sleep early so that I could also wake up early and be productive. But NO, it ends up in the opposite direction, I usually can’t sleep even if I try to and my body clock is used to getting up at 8 – 9 which leaves me no time to prepare for school. What’s worse is when you already woke up late and then it’s difficult to find a public transportation. Normally I would get to UST by riding FX in SM North Edsa for the price of 25 Php. My overall travel time is usually 1 hour and 30 – 40 minutes. But then I found out that I can make the travel time shorter and I can save 5 Php. By riding the lrt, my travel time would be deducted by 30 minutes, plus I don’t have to worry because the travel time to my destination is fixed. Meaning that no matter what time I get there, its already 99% sure that I would be in Bambang station in 20 mins. One thing I liked LRT 1 is that they have this mini X-ray for bags and luggage. Though it may sound the best option between LRT and FX, it has its downside. The time of arrival between trains is inconsistent and because of this people would try to force their way in even if its already full. They would rather be hassled than be late. One more thing is that the train itself is too narrow compared to LRT 2, so if the air condition in those trains are not cold enough for the people inside, its TOO HOT. Considering the fact that people in the LRT are already like sardines in a can, I won’t be wondering why you would all be sweating. But there are lucky days, especially weekends where people riding the LRT are less than usual. Ironic isn’t it, its convenient and yet there’s a price, you come in fresh, you come out oily and sweaty. But as I have said, we Filipinos would rather sacrifice rather than be late.

Angkong DImsum House

Imahe
Every after class, no matter what the time was, I always went to this famous dimsum house just along Dapitan street. Ever since my first year in college, I was always cautious of how much money I spend everyday, since my allowance is very limited. I never thought that I’d be the money-saving type of guy, because price never mattered that much to me before. As long I was able to enjoy myself in a meal, I was okay with that.  Until I got into college where every decision should be carefully made, even in terms of food. This is where I started to learn that price does matter instead of just the quality. A quality of something would even be more appreciated if it was also achieved in an affordable price. This is what Angkong is. Among all the other affordable food stalls/restaurants around the university, this is the place I always come back to. Aside from having affordable prices, they also provide the best tasting siomais and dumplings I ever had. I always had a liking for siomai, it is

SM North Edsa Cinema

Imahe
SM North has been the ideal mall for me since it’s the mall I have grown quite fond of. It’s a one stop shop, so whenever we go there, we do lots of things from doing groceries, dining at a restaurant, shopping clothes and sometimes we watch at their cinemas. I can say that the cinemas in SM North Edsa are really big, and through time they have expanded and added new cinemas to accommodate the demand of customers. Though as they expanded their cinemas, their prices also changed, the price I remember in 2014 was 190-200, but recently it has changed to 260-290. I think that their way of order-taking has a room for improvement. It is because there often are long lines whenever there are brand new movies in stall. Instead of people waiting in long lines to get their tickets, there should be more ticket counters so that this problem could be avoided. However, I agree with the way they segregated the lines to lessen the trouble and make it more organized by putting up a senior citiz

Karaoke Hub

Imahe
My girlfriend and I have always been fond of going to karaoke booths or hang-out places. The Karaoke Hub located in SM North has been one of our go-to's whenever we were in the mood of spending quality through fun karaoke. Despite it having a slightly expensive price, the service and facilities were good by the staff and brought to the Karaoke room, The rooms were well air-conditioned and very neat. But aside from the facilities, the song were also up to date which is why it was not hard for us to choose the songs that we would like to sing. However, it feels like the time is too short for the payment that it costs per session
