Pardon the title, but we will be writing our first Taglish (Tagalog and English) article in this site. The title deals if you really deserve to purchase a car (either new or second hand is fine, but let us deal with the former). Dahil madaming sasakyan ang nabenta nung taong 2015, madami ang natuwa lalo na mga ahente ng mga sasakyan at ang LTO. Ngunit, kailangan mo ba talaga ng kotse kasi kailangan mo ba or para lang meron kang maipangyabang sa iyong kaibigan? Don't contribute to the worsening traffic of the country, pakiusap lang po sa iyo. Here are our top five reasons na di mo talaga deserve na ikaw ay magkakotse.
....because wala kang garahe
Aminin mo, ang garahe ng bahay ng magulang mo ay ginagawa niyong living room o tamabayan pag nagiinuman ang iyong tatay. Owning a car means you need something to cover from all possible elements that may harm your car, being acts of god or acts of human. Pag wala kang garahe, good luck nalang sa iyo kung mawala ang isang piyesa or worse, ang buong kotse mo. Pag wala kang garahe, good luck kung gawing laruan ng mga bata at magasgasan ng kung sino mang dumaan.
....because nagrereklamo ka pag tumaas presyo ng gasolina
Deal with it, owning a car does mean more expenses for you AND you have not to sacrifice yourself or your loved ones with it. Isang parte nito ay ang presyo ng gasolina, kung mura aba full tank to the max, kung mahal nakow sasakay nalang ng public transpo papasok. It does not mean that low fuel prices give you a right na magaksaya ng gasolina. Oo, save mother earth nga diba, so do your part by using precious fuel wisely and you don't need to eat cheaply which leads us to the next one.
....because puro Skyflakes ang kinakain mo para makapagipon
We don't encourage you to do this, but some would eat cheaply through cup noodles and Skyflakes just to complete even just a down payment of their car. Oo, magastos ang kumain pero mas magastos kung ikaw ay maospital dahil ikaw ay nagskip ng meals. Sabi ng isang brand ng gamot, bawal magkasakit. Yes, you can find other ways on saving for that dream car without starving yourself and your family. A hospital bed and even a funeral would end up very costly than a monthly amortization.
....because gagamitin mo lang pang display sa bahay
Brad, nagsasayang ka ng pera na bibili ka ng kotse para lang ipangdisplay sa bahay. Madami naman kayong flower vase, photos ng family members, diploma nung kolehiyo, at kung anong abubot sa bahay. Entertainment system with Playstation 4, yes. Car that you'll only use when you want it, forget about it. Kung ganun lang ginawa mo dapat dinisplay mo sa isang museum o ang pera na di nagamit ay pwede ilaan sa ibang lugar.
....because gusto mo lang magpasikat
If you want to be popular, owning a car isn't definitely a key to that success. Meron naman tayong website na nagagalang Youtube that you can upload your video and making it viral is something that you have to make it. Owning a car just to make yourself popular among your circle of friends or in your neighborhood will just bring more trouble since the price of fame will cost you. Panong cost, hindi lang pera kundi madami at kung ikaw mayaman, isipin mo nalang.
There you have it, kung wala kang kotse don't fret, uso naman po ang manghiram sa magulang o kung ikaw ay nagtratrabaho maghintay ka sa car plan ng iyong kumpanya. Wag ipilit ang bagay na di mo kaya magawa sa una kasi masasaktan ka lang sa huli. Tiis tiis muna sa pagcocommute o sa hiram, kasi good things come to those who wait. Ika nga sabi ni Lola Nidora, darating ang mga bagay sa tamang panahon.
Im guily of having a car but "pinang display sa bahay" because using public transport is a lot easier. Yes, I do admit it may look stupid but I am a massive car enthusiast. All the money i spent just to have and keep it is all for that perfect weekend drive.
