Taxi Driver Gives Roses to Passengers, Aims to Change People’s Minds about Cabs
These days, passengers prefer getting a ride via Grab and other ride-hailing apps instead of taking a regular cab. The reason for this is that most taxi drivers would ask you for extra payment or won’t even let you ride if the destination passes through a traffic-congested spot or might be ‘far’.
Many taxi drivers also have bad manners and don’t have qualms at cursing at passengers. Others also have meters that run too fast, making passengers pay much more than what they should actually pay for.

But not all taxi drivers are bad, really. There are still many who are honest and are there to serve passengers.
One of these good men left recently went viral.

Greg Laude was praised for his unconventional way of making his passengers happy: by giving them roses! Wow.
Netizen Criss Subang shared how she rode Laude’s taxi, UYE – 207 of Lord & Lady taxi, from SM Aura in Taguig City. At the time, she was about to book a Grab car when she noticed that no one was taking the taxis at the cab lane, even if there were 6 people ahead of her.

Upon learning that these people were waiting for their Grab car rides, she decided to take the cab instead. It turned out to be a good choice. Not only did she not have to wait for her ride just like the other people on queue, but she also received a rose from this sweet taxi driver.
“I saw a lot of rose petals scattered on the floor and as I was about to ask Sir Driver, he quietly handed me a rose. I didn’t get to ask anymore. I smiled and said thank you,” Subang shared.

She learned that Laude often buys 30 to 50 roses each day to hand out to passengers. According to the driver, he wants people to change their minds about cabs as he shows them that taxis like his are still safe and great to ride.
If only all taxi drivers were like him…

Guy Tries Viral “Inverter Hack”, Ends Up with 9k Bill
A guy tries the viral “inverter hack” but instead of saving money, he ended up with a ₱9k electric bill! Ouch.
Viral “Inverter Hack” Goes Wrong, Guy Gets ₱9k Bill
There are lots of viral “life hacks” on the internet, but not all of them actually work or are true.
Many of these “hacks” can cost you a lot of money or even end up getting you in trouble (like the teens who tried the viral “overbaggage” hack).
Recently, netizen Rheez Ramos tried out a supposed life hack using an inverter air conditioner.
According to this supposed life hack, you need to keep the air conditioning unit on, and only turn it off once a week. It’s supposed to make your electric bill go down.
Without checking the veracity of the viral hack or monitoring their electricity consumption, Ramoa blindly followed the “hack.”

Imagine his shock when the bill arrived — and it was for over ₱9,000!
He said that their usual bill was just around ₱3,000 but it has skyrocketed to 3x the amount because of the fake “life hack.”
He jokingly posted on social media to find the person who made the misleading hack — and I would probably try to actually find that person if I were in his shoes!
Paying 3x your regular bill is not a joke, though netizens also slammed him for not using science to realize that the “hack” was fake.
Have you also fallen for a fake life hack on social media?
How To Determine If A “Life Hack” Is Real Or Not
This is actually easier said than done because many of these supposed life hacks have very convincing photos, videos, or stories.
Here are some ways to avoid getting duped:
- Try to check the comments section of the post — usually, there are people who either tried the hack and knew it didn’t work or those who can explain the science of why the hack is fake
- Research on your own — often, there’s actually some scientific explanation why the hack will or will not work
- Don’t try the hack unless you’re 100% sure that it’s real and safe to try
- Ask a second opinion from a reliable person

Husband Fails to Get Flowers for Wedding Anniversary, Buys Land for Wife
A husband failed to get flowers for their wedding anniversary but still went viral after choosing to buy land for his wife to grow flowers, instead.
Land versus flowers? We’ll also take the land, please. LOL
Husband Buys Land for Wife on Wedding Anniversary
It is every wife’s secret wish to receive a gift from her husband on their wedding anniversary or during other important moments of their lives together.
Not everyone gets to receive those gifts, of course.
While many husbands are unable to buy gifts out of poverty or because they have other, much more important priorities, there are also who do have the money but just don’t like giving gifts.
Some women might say that they wish their husbands would just get them flowers for their wedding anniversary.
Recently, a guy named Kael John Canoy made waves on social media after publicly admitting that he wasn’t able to give his wife flowers on their first anniversary! Uh-oh…
Is he going to be in big trouble?
Well, not really.
It turned out that he wasn’t being thoughtless or had forgotten the date. Instead, he had other plans for his family.
Canoy would soon go viral after explaining in his post that while he failed to get her flowers on their first wedding anniversary, he was making it up with an entire land where she can grow all the flowers she wants to have. Awwww.

Would you rather receive the land than flowers?
Well, considering that the land is going to last forever, and you can plant all the flowers you do want to have, then we’re all voting for land, too.
Buying Land and Other Real Estate in the Philippines
Buying real estate can be tricky in the Philippines, especially because many are still under a so-called “mother title” or a title still under the name of the seller’s ancestors.
To avoid issues, try to only buy land that already has a “clean title” (under the seller’s name or just one signatory).
Getting lots from a reputable real estate broker or under a property developer might also be a good idea.

But one lucky mom recently went viral for the extravagant gift she received from her husband in the form of a money bouquet worth Php1 million!
The lucky mom, Roviedelia Soriano – Villena, shared that her husband actually pranked her before giving the money bouquet.


In fact, he acted like something was wrong and didn’t even sleep next to her the previous night. Instead, he purposefully put their baby in the middle, declaring some sort of silent war that she felt worried about.
Throughout the following morning, he never greeted her at all or offered her even a small bouquet of flowers.


She was close to crying in the afternoon when he called up at around 1PM to tell her that they were having dinner somewhere.
So, she felt appeased. She thought that even if she didn’t receive any gift, at least she can still feel somewhat special on Mother’s Day.

When initially felt angry when she saw the “flowers” that she thought resembled a “corona” (funeral flower arrangement), but that anger turned to happiness upon seeing that it was actually a money bouquet! Wow.
It was truly an impressive surprise gift.
