I've logged a lot of miles since getting a vehicle again. The difference between having a car and not having one for me is.... not much. I adjusted to not having a car and i've adjusted to having a car again. Hedonistic adaptation is real amigos.
Ayoko isipin kung magkano gas na naubos ko sa ~10K kilometers na naitakbo ko in a year.

Lemme babble about sunglasses. Inis ako kung gano ka sakit sa bulsa ang mga ito. I hate the price of oakleys; especially because they don't last. Laging natutuklap yung coating on its own. I don't think they'll ever change that "feature", planned obsolescence eh. I know an oakley fanatic, He just rationalized the situation by saying that the fix is to use packing tape and pull off all the coating so it would look good again.
G5 lenses on rayban pinaka gusto ko dun sa brand. I tried 'neutral' grays, panget. Overall, mas importante pala yung bawas glare at silaw tsaka contrast kesa color accuracy. Mas importante rin na mas mabilis ma identify yung pag galaw na pedestrian, animals, motorcycles. Traffic lights are never an issue.
Mukhang boto ako sa polarized kahit na nagra rainbow ng konti sa digital gauges. Green foliage get these weird pink hues through the window tint. Polarized glasses are "smart glasses." They cut the brightness of the dashboard, sun glints off hoods, and yet, doesn't dim the horizon like heavy tinted sunglasses. It is selective. And you could literally tilt your head and notice how the brightness of a dashboard change; parang may slider ng brightness for a screen.
Best, best, best, head and shoulders above the competition are Serengetis. Ung driver's lenses. Damn. Minsan, lakas ng buhos ng ulan, I can obviously see better with them. Maybe it filtered out the cumulative glare from every drop. Whatever the scientific magic may be, it works! And works well. (Side note, my phone can see better than me. Vinideo ko minsan kung gano kalakas yung ulan, whuh? I can see the road and other cars better by looking at my phone that is looking through the windshield. No wonder lexus is moving on to camera side mirrors.) Sayang naupuan ko yung precious serengetis ko so my fault. Ano kaya sunod? Randolph engineering?
Sa pansamatagal, bumili ako ng polarized "polar" brand sunglasses sa sarabia. It works. May website naman yung brand so di siya tiangge special na obvious yung optical aberration. 4K, i can shell out instantly out of my wallet.
I miss my serengeti. =/ My precious....
