Funtime at Fontana

With recent temperature reaching 38'C, Time to go swimming! :) We ended up in Fontana Leisure Park located in Clark Field Pampanga. I can't remember the last time I was here but I remember it being more maintained than this. It wasn't terrible but It was way better before. Anyway, here are some tips when going here:



1. Food - buy it outside but don't bring them in as there is corkage fee, my tip is to do what the others are doing, eat in the parking lot. we saw some big groups having their lunch at the parking lot. I suspect that the cost of food inside is really expensive which is already expected



2. Bring some sun block, etc - heat is extreme, after our swim, my shoulders got burnt.



3. The waves lasts for about 15 minutes per session, it used to be 30 minutes but its okay. Stay for a while and for sure you will catch the waves



4. Parking is abundant, park near the entrance for easier access to your vehicle as you will be leaving some things in your car.



5. Underwater camera is a must, we used a go pro and a tripod to film this trip.



Have a nice summer everyone! :)

How to Clean a K&N Air Filter

Here is an instructional video on how to clean and recharge your K&N Air Filter.



Stock Air Filters usually cost from around PHP 2,500 to 3,000 and usually last you for around 10,000 to 15,000 KM, afterwards you would need to throw them in the bin, the advantage of using K&N is that its for lifetime use. You just need to clean them occasionally. Its re-usable and its quite effective. There are claims that there is an additional gains in HP using them but I personally with my years of using their products I don't really feel the additional gains, I'm more after the re-usability of it and its value for money.

Heres an additional read on the use of reusable air filters.

How to avail of PHP 23.50 per Liter of Diesel.

With everything on the rise recently I've always kept an eye on the prices of diesel, I usually gas up  only when the prices are a little lower than the usual. Today, I discovered where you can get diesel for PHP 23.50 per liter.  Yes, you read it right. :) PHP 23.50 per liter.

Here's how you can also avail of it:

1st, you have to be an S&R member and you should have the latest MAG STRIPE CARD, if yours is still the old one, you can have it exchanged for FREE. 

Below is a flyer I was handed out 2 weeks ago and I didn't really paid too much attention to it as I am one of those people who are quite skeptical when it comes to sales and discounts, I always think there is a catch to it.

According to this flyer, you can get 2 peso discount per liter of diesel and 3 peso discount per liter of gas. Not bad right?  So, since I was in San Fernando this afternoon and I thought I would try it out and see if what they have here is indeed true.

When I got Unioil, the queue was bumper to bumper, there must have been 3 or 4 cars ahead of me  on one pump and the rest were scattered around, all were waiting to gas up. When I checked the prices I was surprised to see this:

April 1, 2017 - Unioil San Fernando

Diesel - PHP 26.50 per liter

Gas (91 ron) - PHP 37.65 per liter

Gas (95 ron) - PHP 37.95 per liter

Looks good right? All the while I thought these were already the discounted prices, but apparently the S&R discount wasn't included yet. 

So I filled up for 57.227 liters of diesel and my total Bill was PHP 1,516.52, I handed the gas attendant 1,520 and my S&R Membership Card, waited for a few minutes and to my surprise he handed me 175 pesos along with my receipt and an S&R transaction slip.

 

Here's the breakdown of my bill:

PHP 26.50 per liter of diesel x 57.227 liters = Total 1, 516.52

Discount: 57.227 x 3 pesos = 171.681

Total Expense: 1,344.839

So basically, the cost per liter of diesel just amounted to: 

PHP 23.50 per liter

I don't know where else you can get diesel this cheap. Definitely worth trying it out.
