cost: 8 php
ride #4:

actually, di ko cnasadya yan.. dapat kc tumawid ako from world trade center kaso dahl sa katamaran ko e d ko na gnwa un, only to realize na ang dmadaan pla sa world trade e baclaran bound pa rn. tapos dun naman sa coastal, sinakyan ko ayala.. yung pla ayala ibabaw, which means d magsstop ung bus sa ayala, so i had to go down pa sa buendia. hay ang saya saya! buti nlng maaga ako umalis ng bahay kng hnd nalate nako sa appointment ko!
