Obviously a filler blog post, but still somewhat relevant. Christmas is just around the corner and here's a list of things I'd want to have, but I doubt I can receive as a gift. Simply because they're either too expensive or too hard to find. Mostly the former. So here we go.
- A nice two-bedroom condominium unit with two car parking slots. I've been doing a lot of browsing for condominium units here in Metro Manila and currently the best bang for the buck location I can think of that is relatively closer to where my wife works and where my daughter studies is some location in Pasig. Pasig units are around 50 sq m or so for the same price as a 40 sq m or so unit in Makati or BGC, and this is a big reason why I think Pasig is the way to go. I just don't know how bad traffic is going to and from the place.
- Another car. Yes, we already own a Toyota Wigo G. Number coding is still in effect here in Metro Manila and I think we still need a relatively bigger car for road trips and when the Wigo can't be used. I've already blogged about options, and they still haven't changed. My dream choices are either the Toyota Avanza 1.5 G CVT (because spacious, relatively affordable, and fuel efficient), the Toyota Zenix 2.0 Q Hybrid CVT (because hybrid), and possibly the Honda BR-V VX CVT (because Honda, similar size to the Avanza, and looks nice).
- A new, custom gravel bike built to my specs. I'd rather not blog about this now but I do want a more modern gravel bike using through axles and the more well-known brands. This also makes my current bike a full-time bike trainer. On that note.
- If I can't get a new bike then one of those smart bike trainers would be nice. Maybe I can afford a Zwift subscription or one of the other well known virtual bike apps. It might help me spend longer times on the bike trainer.
Merry Christmas.
Out.
