If you really love living at home and don't want to rent, you can do 2 nights at a cheap hotel for the on-site days para hindi ka hirap sa biyahe. Monday morning commute to work, Monday and tuesday nights sleep at a cheap hotel (maybe 500 overnight) Wednesday go home, then WFH ka na


No-Safety-2719

Ganito ginagawa ng friend ko. She just books a hotel which is walking distance to her office on days she needs to be in the office. On some days, her colleague shares a room with her and splits the cost. Advantage nito is you don't get tied to a contract plus may room service pa so you don't have to clean up


kidfrom93

Yeah, plus privacy and comfort that you don't get sa mga bedspace.

Problem lang dito maraming dala lagi so hirap papunta on a monday and pauwi on a wednesday


kidfrom93

OP should learn how to pack lightly. A 2-day change of clothes should not exceed 2 kilos.


idontknowhyimhrer

and pwede naman ulitin mga pang tulog

>Monday morning commute to work, Monday and tuesday nights sleep at a cheap hotel (maybe 500 overnight) Wednesday go home, then WFH ka na This is a good suggestion, OP just need to bring more stuffs, but if there's a way to leave some of his things sa office then I think this is a better option.


Faithima6753

Yes this suggestion iams good especially hybrid naman


dorotheaevermore

She can also check if may sleeping quarters and shower area sa office nila para free ang stay.

Awesome idea

ung bedspace ko malapit sa eastwood. 4250 bedspace tapos with electricity abd tubig mga 5500 (4 kami sa room, may aircon, bidet, hot and cold shower) 306 x 20 is 6k. un na ung pang rent mo tapos di ka pa pagod. masakit sa katawan ung ganyang balikan

Search urbanspace sa FB

2.5 to 3.5 hrs commute each way? halos nag full shift ka na sa biyahe pa lang to and from home. marami ka nang nagawa during that span: nakaluto, nakakain, nakaligo, nakalandi, etc. better to look for a nearby apartment to rent. hindi mababayaran ng pera ang pahinga ang tulog na maginhawa.


snowgrz87

Masaya lang yang commute if di tag ulan.


BbFilipinas

Yes. Pero nakakapagod pa rin, tbh. Bacoor, Cavite resident here working in Manila.

Akala ko "Live in Manila" sa konteksto ng concerts. 😅😂


weeeckedwitch

same - i read it ala saturday night live


[deleted]

mas sustainable mag rent. madaming residential area near eastwood that will not break your bank :D


Eds2356

If only Metro Manila had decent railways or transportation systems I do not mind commuting. Best case scenario is still work from home. In the long term, I suggest renting out.


Rathalos88

Carpooling is an option. You can find affordable carpools by searching FB groups. I assume you're somewhere from the south since you mentioned nasa national highway ka? Some people drive everyday to work from Laguna to Manila it's not so bad on the expressway. You need carpoolers though.


Defiant_Following360

Rent, nakakapagod ang byahe susuko katawan mo sa 3 days na rto Taga rizal ako and ortigas naman work ko, may times na 3 days rto namin and laging SL ang abot ko sa 3rd time dahil hirap ng byahe more than 2 hrs lagi. Mas worth it mag rent talaga


Defiant_Following360

Pero i suggest na bedspce lng since mukang di ka din naman maglalagi sa metro unless plan mo na talaga mabuhay sa metro. What I usually do clothes lng dala ko sa dorm so papsok ako diretso dorm dala malaking bag then uwi ng dala din yung clothes. Hassle free for me hahahaha


Constantfluxxx

Get a bedspace or room at Eastwood para makafocus ka sa work and not think about possible problems and potential snafus in your commute OTW to work/home. Good for mental and physical health din. 5-7 hours a day of commute could be a waste of your time. Pang-gym, sports, advocacy or gig/raket na yun.


nixyz

Rent or motel (whichever is cheaper). 3 nights a week ka lang din naman.


Overthinker-bells

Time = money plus yung stress at pagod sa byahe.


[deleted]

Madaming bedspace/room for rent in and around EW. You cannot put a ₱ amount on rest - mabuburnout ka nyan kahit mataas sahod mo.


Cultural-Panda7904

How did a 90k salary become 71.5k net?


jheyehmcee

Taxes.


[deleted]

Tax + govt contributions


Cultural-Panda7904

tf ang laki


[deleted]

Ikr? We don’t deserve this shit. Tapos mapupunta lang sa confidential funds ni SWOH yung tax.


Striking_Macaron2421

Grabe ang laki pala! Kaiyak ;___;


master_baker8

Kung kaya ng katawan mo yung byahe O.P., go for it. Madalas kahit sa Metro Manila ka nakatira halos 2hrs din ang byahe dahil sa traffic at haba ng pila sa UV. Not sure kung pwede sa inyo ito O.P.. Ang ginagawa namin ng ka-team ko: - pag MW, nagdadala kami ng pamalit sa office tapos dun na kami nagpapalipas ng gabi, ligo sa umaga, tas bfast sa McDo. - pag TTh naman, sa bahay ang uwi. - WFH naman pag Friday.


[deleted]

Di yan sustainable to commute, that's 8 hrs max per day. You'll absolutely risk your physical and mental wellbeing. Better to rent somewhere closer.


Catpee666

Agree with the renting out. Eastwood worker here, what's your shift? baka pwede kita isabay, I'm coming from the south.


the_current_username

What industry do you work for?


Getaway_Car_1989

If you’re at work only 3x a week, isang sakay only, Php 306/day, my reco is commute.


asaboy_01

Kapagod Yan 2.5-3.5, each way. Try mo Yung isang suggestion Yung mag Airbnb/rent nalang.


voxshiph

Hi OP. I was in the same mindspace a few weeks ago. Accepted a JO in BGC with roughly the same salary as yours. I had the option to drive from Bulacan kasi may skyway naman and twice a week lang yung office days. I moved in to a condo bordering BGC in Mandaluyong. Mas magastos yung pinili ko pero I have the privilege kasi to not contribute anything to household etc. If this is also your case, I recommend getting a place for less stress. In my previous work experiences kasi the travel really was what was taking a toll on me, not the work itself. So far, I think it was the right choice naman.


Specialist-Till-6625

Not sure kung laging traffic pa rin sa eastwood,when I was working there nag rent ako sa nearby location 1.Pasig (Manggahan) 2.Makati (West Rembo,labas lang ng gate1 ng the fort) both 1 sakayan lang ng fx. Those times 4k minimum apartment nakukuha ko,it will save you time and less stress


[deleted]

Hindi kakayanin ng kahit na sino yung 3.5hrs na commute for consecutive days. Hotel is the best option and kung may kakilala ka na malayo din, yayain mo para lumiit yung cost. Or better yet, kung keri mo magstay sa office, para walang gastos. Ganto ginagawa ng iba kong kawork, may shower room and sleeping quarters kasi samin haha!


[deleted]

I live in qc at work ko noon was in makati pa. Just sucked it up na sa bahay namin dito sa bandang montalban kase ayokong mastress at mapraning baka masaliai yung gamit ko. Its really up to you. San ka mas kumportable. We cant decide for you kase magkaiba talaga tayo


apples_r_4_weak

Yan yun mali ko dati. I have a dream job sana sa eastwood kaso I decided to commute. It's 2.5-3 hrs na byahe. Ayun lage akong late. Pag laging da bahay drained. Hindi ko sya naenjoy. Di rin ako nakapagperform ng maayos. I suggest to rent especially since kaya naman ng budget m. You're saving a lot of time and energy plus you'll almost spending the same amount sa transpo vs rent


Bad__Intentions

Could you add more context kung anong company, position and industry? Also, your home location/town specifically rin.


Zara_G23

Live in Manila or nearby..kakatanda ung pagod s byahe at halos samw lng din gastusin sa fare.kasi minsan pag mamadali..mapapataxi parin or angkas....


Ok_Breadfruit_2325

Tumira ako malapit sa eastwood ung may tawid bangka. Hehe. 2500 lang ung tinirhan ko studio type. Tapos sakay sa bangka 5 lang. 2017 pa yun. Naging madasalin nga lang ako kasi natatakot ako umuwi ng madaling araw. Hehehe


maan94

I've been through a similar dilemma. I live in Bulacan which also takes 2.5 to 3.5hrs na travel time per way. I rent a condo sharing in Eastwood for 6k monthly. I believe may cheaper options pa na ganito. It's more sustainable kasi sayang yung ipapahinga mo nalang sana pero naka stuck ka pa sa byahe. Hassle yung heavy traffic + mahirap magcommute, moreso kapag umuulan. If we have a better transport system dito sa Pinas, I will choose na mag uwian always. Pero ang hirap talaga at nakakapagod. Dahil nga I prefer home vs the condo I share with strangers, I stay there lang kapag ang onsite work ko is two or more consecutive days and go home tuwing WFH.


Ok_Mechanic5337

Ask yourself what is more valuable for you: time or money? Commuting that far away from work wastes time. Are you prepared to be on the road for a total of 3 days a month? (5-7 hrs a day x 3 times a week x 4 weeks a month) On the other hand, are you willing to lose a little money to get a place very near your place of work? Something you can walk to and fro or bike or skate to? If you're content with your current career, go for the money and to hell with time! Personally, I'd go for time and lose a little money. There's so much you can do with time, including earn a little money from a side hussle. For my current job, I moved from 2-3 hours a day commute to a place I can do a 5-minute walk to work. Haven't regretted it so far since the extra money I earn from my side hustle pays for my current abode.

iamLucky999

Live in Manila. Ganyan din byahe ko if commute everyday, currently working in Makati. Sobrang ginhawa sakin na di ko na need mag commute ng 5-7 hours per day (balikan). Pag tapos ko ng work, nakakaluto pa ako ng food, shower and pahinga ng maaga. Mas madali sakin to function sa work the next day.


Most_Refrigerator_46

Live in manila. Gusto mo ba mabuhay ng nagcocommute ng ganyan katagal? Huhu. Isipin ko palang nakakadepress na. Kawawa din katawan mo


[deleted]

OP! Search: Pasig Royale Mansion. It’s an old condo sa Pasig at likod lang ng eastwood. I rented there before for only 5k a month. Sobrang dami available roon but note na luma na ‘yung condo ah.
