Sentimental value

Anna — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 09:33:25 +0000

One of my friends in the States is thinking of moving. She asked me if I know of cross country moving companies. Wow, she would like to bring everything she has right now. I told her to just sell some of her things and move light. She said that all of her appliances are dear to her. She would like to bring everything up to the smallest figurine at her living room. If only she could move the actual house and everything in it, she will. Talking about sentimental value.

Moving again

My husband is thinking for us to move again. He is not really contented at the place where we are staying right now. Well, it is pretty much different from our previous environment. He wants a more peaceful place. Now, I have to find the contact number of the truck rental service that we hired last time. It was good and the driver and his companion were really helpful.

No toll

During College, I think we had a subject in political science or social studies about tax evasion and tax avoidance. Well, I had a crush on that classmate of mine who gave a very good explanation about it. He said that tax evasion means not paying tax at all or trying to get away from it. He said that even at the roads, you could encounter tax evaders like those who are evading tolls. I wonder how do they do that though. About tax avoiders, he mentioned about those who are choosing to take the bypass road instead where it is toll free. Who says that it only applies to phone numbers, huh?

Calling Land Transportation Office!

Yipee!!! I am not late today! I made it! Well, taking it one day at a time.

It was all fretting during the commute though. Well not by me but by all the rest of the passengers. About what? Well, about the fare. Since the rollback of gasoline and diesl prices, followed the rollback of minimum fare also. From 8.00 it is now down to 7.50. I just do not know how much it would be for succeeding kilometers. It happens that each driver charges a different amount. It goes for the jeepney and FX alike.

The driver of the jeepney I rode a while ago seemed charging higher? Well, he consistently asked for an additional peso or two pesos from every passenger who I do not know if had given the correct fare or not. Their disgust added stress to my journey, my fear of being late. You know, it is January and I would like to have a good start.

Finally, I got down from that horrible ride. Well, at first I thought that it would be a slow trip but on the contrary. The driver seemed into rush of his life. He was reckless. It was only ten minutes before my time and I had to ride an FX. It is always faster having few people to stop and ride. Sometimes it also takes a shorter route. Luckily, I was able to get one in no time. I thought I was sitting peacefully until one passenger complained of the change given by the driver. Again, minimum fare! Calling LTO! The driver did not argue and gave in to the demand of that passenger. How about me? I still paid what I used to pay. I did not like to add to the pressure. I just wanted to reach the office on time. And, so did I! Thank goodness! Oh, yes…I kept on praying for me not to be late.

Travel with ease

The scene at the airport could be stressful especially if you are new to a particular country and no one would fetch you. Oh, how you just wish that you could have traveled to a place that is more familiar or someone you know actually lives there. However, that would defeat the purpose of traveling. To go to a new place is to discover. It always pay to read and to know the services that are available in a particular area. Hey, internet is always here for the longest time to help you and guide you on your journeys. Like in New York for example. Oh, everybody would like to see that place. Accommodations would not be a problem at all with JFK Airport transportation. I know some people who have gone to New York and they have availed the good services of this company. You could book for a round trip or one way service. I suggest that you get the round trip so that you do not have to worry at all. You could do online reservations right now. They have an excellent customer service and available anytime of the day to be of service to you. Another thing thatyou would want when you are all ready to go is walking far with all your bags and luggage! Oh, how uncomfortable at times! This transport service is allowed to load just outside the baggage claim! How convenient!

The Shuttle Service

We love riding the airplane. We can only do it once a year though and it is even free! That is during our annual team celebration program. This activity gives us an opportunity to bond with the members of our team. What a great idea by the company, is it not? It is our break off from work. We usually choose a destination that is really far and would need an airplane ride. Yes, we have to pay extra because it usually cost more than the allowable expense provided by the company. What is important to us is that we could ride that airplane once more.Lol!

After the airplane ride, the next thing to look for is a shuttle service that would bring us to our destination. Most of the time, the land travel is even longer than the plane ride that is why, we hope that the shuttle service that we could get is somehow like that of JFK Shuttle. We would like a first class service of course. There was one time that the one we got has no room for our backpacks and trolleys! It was really uncomfortable. JFK Shuttle service makes sure that the vehicle that they will provide has enough room for the passengers and the luggage!

Do you want to ride a bus?

When I was younger, I do not like to ride a bus. I grew up in the province with my Aunt. Every summer vacation, we had to go to the city and visit my family. I am talking about my real family as in mother, father and siblings. Anyways, I always felt like throwing up before even with just the smell of the bus. It did not matter whether it was an air-conditioned or non-air-conditioned one. I was begging my Aunt then for us to alight from the bus and just ride a tricycle going to the city. As, if it was possible but it was not. It was a four to five hour ordeal for me and when I reached home, I was exhausted and pale.

Today is a different thing. I now would love to ride a bus especially if it is from NYC Bus Charters. Their buses smell good and comfortable. You would also feel safe when you ride with them. It could boast of its 20 years of service in providing bus transportation. They have a friendly staff and most of all driving safely and courteous drivers.

Therefore, if you are looking for a bus service provider, NYC Bus Charters is the name to trust!
