To never ending knowingness.

I remember myself experiencing that pain of having an almost lover. It took us (in my knowledge) ALMOST 4 years. Tipong kapag nagkikita kami, iba. Parang kami na hindi.

Nagsimula yun nung nagkakilala kami back in 2008. Boyfriend ko yung kaibigan nya. Sa madaling salita, na-introduce kami sa isa’t isa dahil dinala ako ng boyfriend ko na yun sa kanila. We became close tapos nung naghiwalay kami nung boyfriend ko, nalaman ko wala na din pala sila nung girlfriend nya. Yun na. Nagpaparamdam sya.

Tandang tanda ko pa. 2010 yun nagsimula. Yung sa lahat ng bagay daig pa namin yung magkasintahan (minus the commitment of course) at na-enjoy ko yun. Tumuloy sa umasa. Tapos habang tumatagal, narerealize ko. Bakit hindi pa maging kami? Pero babae ako, hindi ako dapat mauna. Pero tinanong ko padin sya noon. Several times. Hindi pa daw sya “ready”. Ayaw daw nya masira ang “friendship” namin.

Tumagal yun ng almost 4 years.

Hanggang sa narealize ko, hindi sya ever magiging akin. So, I decided to be in a relationship nung 2014. Sa ibang tao. And now, going strong kami. Yung ALMOST ko, nakailang girlfriend na din after ko magka-boyfriend. Which clearly explains na hanggang ALMOST lang talaga kami.

Ayun nga. Naalala ko lang. Hirap pag affected sa kanta. Lol!

Hindi ako ma-taxi noon.

So when Grab and Uber came, alam ko hindi ko din sila gagamitin evah. Naman! Mahal kaya. Taxi nga hindi ako fan, Grab at Uber pa kaya.

Then now, people are always asking to bring Uber back. That Grab’s prices are spiking due to demand and as if they couldn’t live their lives without Uber. So, since Uber is down as of the moment, I decided to download Grab.

Una, I chose GrabTaxi. But then I realized sobrang mahal kasi may patong na 70php tapos di mo pa alam magkano talaga ang price. Dinecline ko.

Then I tried GrabCar. Woah! Prices are sakto lang. Una, andun na yung price, pangalawa, you don’t wait that long, you don’t get that feeling of rejection, tapos malinis. Maayos. Mababait sila kausap. Kahit traffic they don’t ask you to make dagdag.

Now I realized how important they are.

I wonder how it feels like to book Uber. Now, I have a lot of questions in mind. Is it better than Grab? Is it safer? Are the prices cheaper?
