Who doesn’t need a car these days? I know there are a lot of people switching to hybrid cars as of late because of the instability of gas prices these days. However, the need for a car (a mode of transportation) is still there. I never thought I would even talk about needing a car – but where we live at, we really need it to go around otherwise it will be doubly hard. And even if we commute, transportation prices are so high! For example, when I go to the grocery, I need 50 bucks to commute BY JEEP! (That’s how far it is!). So yes, car is really a necessity. It is a good thing that fuel prices have had a drastic price cut for the past month. This means we can be assured that if ever we will have a car, we have money for gas to drive it around!  Edil might get the car he has been promised for by his boos. I certainly hope so. He needs it to make calls in hospitals in his area. A Car Allowance program might have been the trick for the company to have been able to issue its employees the much-needed transport benefit.

For me though, aside from getting the car, I need to learn how to drive! That should be on top of my goals next year, considering it is too late to squeeze in some driving lessons this year.

The new year has been good to us so far. One month before the new year, we received good news the the husband has been assigned and relocated to our area – allowing him to come home to us everyday. Nobody has been more grateful than I am for this recent development. Not only because it will be good for my peace of mind, having help with the kids, but it will be good for the kids as well, having him around everyday and not experiencing my temper when I fall short of patience because of being Mom & Dad all the time.

His area is now quite large so we have been requesting that his auto allowance be increased – since he is an employee doing a lot of field work – and that his request for a car be approved as soon as possible. He does have means of transportation but we’d rather exercise his benefit from work because he is, after all, entitled to it.

His company gives car packages to employees who have been meeting their sales monthly quota for six consecutive months or more. The husband has met his quota 10 out of the 12 months last year and has exceeded his year-to-date quota even (the reason he had a nice bonus last December). Now, if he doesnt get the car by June, I told him to look for another job that can give him a better compensation package – I am sure his boss will counteroffer with the car – it worked with his officemate who is now the training manager of the company.
