The brand is Swatch with a regular price of P2,350 a pair. And, the discounts range from 10 to 50%. He’s buying one; and, I requested him to buy me a pair too (my 11-year old bowling shoes were already retiring). My friend and I have the same shoe sizes - 9″. I’m not particular with the design so he could choose any design. I’m particular with the price and asked him to get the one with 50% off.<br /><br /><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2009/07/15/my-new-pair-of-bowling-shoes/"><br />Read more . . .</a><br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div><br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-8028544379331156850?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-82404620640593749002009-06-26T12:30:00.001+08:002009-07-19T13:27:54.895+08:00<br>I was traveling this morning on my way to work along the southbound of EDSA (Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue). The traffic was very heavy from Kamias flyover up to White Plains Avenue. The flow of traffic was sooooooooooooooooo slow! It took me about an hour to traverse this segment of the highway, which is less than 2 kilometers long only. I just assumed that this traffic was caused by an accident<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tomgu.bravejournal.com/entry/36931">Read more . . .</a><br /><br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-8240462064059374900?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-66990701434960363952009-06-20T09:10:00.000+08:002009-07-18T06:15:19.839+08:00For some time, I’ve considered bicycling as my alternative exercise to break the walking boredom. Finally, I decided to try it, despite the discouragement from wifey being a dangerous exercise. Hence, I bought a new bicycle. It’s not an expensive but one of the cheapest - less than P3,000 ($64) only. Actually, I saw one that I like with a price of P15,000 ($320), but I had second thought. I’d like to determine first whether this exercise is for me or not before buying a better and expensive unit. So, I let a night passed and thought it over.<br /><br /><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2009/06/20/my-alternative-exercise/"><br />Read more . . .</a><br><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-6699070143496036395?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-75912966967694183012009-01-24T05:30:00.002+08:002009-01-24T22:46:04.949+08:00<p></p>Last Monday, I went to Valencia City via Cagayan de Oro City.<br /><br /><ul><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2009/01/18/valencia-city-here-i-come/">Valencia City, here I come!</a></li><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2009/01/19/on-my-way-to-valencia-city/">On my way to Valencia City</a></li><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2009/01/20/tasks-accomplished-in-no-time/">Tasks accomplished in no time</a></li><li><a href="http://tomgu.bravejournal.com/entry/33400">Sky Watch Friday no. 29</a></li><li><a href="http://tiohem.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-breakfast-in-cagayan-de-oro-city.html">My breakfast in Cagayan de Oro City</a></li><li><a href="http://tiohem.blogspot.com/2009/01/flying-back-to-manila.html">Flying back to Manila</a></li></ul><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-7591296696769418301?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-5826629022762074692009-01-24T05:03:00.001+08:002009-01-25T11:41:12.219+08:00<p></p>My younger sister, Elvie, and her unica hija, Lizette, have already joined the crazy world of blogging.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2009/01/24/my-sis-and-niece-are-now-blogging/">Read more . . .</a><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-582662902276207469?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-1800140094653390012009-01-23T17:00:00.000+08:002009-01-25T11:46:07.530+08:00There were several rollbacks of fuel prices:<br /><ul><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/11/diesel-prices-in-novaliches-fairview-areas-drop/">Diesel prices in Novaliches &amp; Faiview areas drop</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/13/fuel-prices-reduce-in-novaliches-fairview-areas/">New fuel price in Novaliches &amp; Fairview areas</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/14/big-three-rolls-back-fuel-prices/">Big Three rolls back fuel prices</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/16/another-fuel-prices-rollback/">Another fuel prices rollback</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/19/fuel-prices-in-cagayan-de-oro-and-malaybalay-cities/">Fuel prices in Cagayan de Oro and Malaybalay Cities</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/20/fuel-prices-have-changed/">Fuel prices have changed</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/23/shell-to-cut-hike-fuel-prices/">The "big 3" to cut / hike fuel prices</a><br /></li></ul><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-180014009465339001?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-35013746557237507942009-01-20T18:25:00.001+08:002009-01-25T11:41:37.528+08:00<p>From the airport, I decided to take the C5 Road instead of EDSA in going home.

Hence, I’m using the price of the diesel in the comparison.</p> <p>In Fairview and Novaliches areas on the northern outskirts of Quezon City, the current diesel prices in almost all gasoline stations, whether the “big three” or the “small players”, are P28.50 only. And, I found one station of Nation along Regalado Avenue that sells it at P28.30 (US$ 0.61) only. I also saw two stations along Commonwealth Avenue in Fairview with diesel prices of P27.20. I’m not sure though whether they are regular or bio-diesel.<br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2009/01/04/where-can-you-find-the-lowest-fuel-prices/">Read more . . .</a><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-3841781681552785879?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-24944433953089270742009-01-03T09:46:00.004+08:002009-01-03T09:54:31.339+08:00<p></p>From December 27 to 30, we traveled by car to Bicol.<br /><ul><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2008/12/27/trip-to-bicol/">Trip to Bicol</a></li><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2008/12/27/were-almost-halfway/">We're almost halfway</a></li><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2008/12/28/hello-bicol-2/">Hello, Bicol!</a></li><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2008/12/29/touring-bicol/">Touring Bicol</a></li><li><a href="http://tom.i.ph/blogs/tom/2008/12/30/on-our-way-home/">On our way home</a></li><li><a href="http://autom.i.ph/blogs/autom/2008/12/30/carens-goes-to-legaspi-city/">Carens goes to Legaspi City</a></li><li><a href="http://tiohem.blogspot.com/2009/01/three-churches.html">The three churches</a></li><li><a href="http://tomgu.bravejournal.com/entry/33120">Sky Watch Friday 25</a><br /></li></ul><p></p><p></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3539901389162548988-2494443395308927074?l=tomslibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15677644008615452435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3539901389162548988.post-58548449948709580502008-12-26T05:52:00.012+08:002009-03-08T08:08:45.208+08:00<p></p>You don't know where to go?
