ZAP Crawl Greenhills : Wine Depot-Department of Coffee-Torch-Greenhills Cinema

I am just a newbie compared to all other bloggers out there. Since I have just been doing this for about half a year. I have been invited to an event or two already but I still get jitters each and every time!

Enough about that.

We all know how hard it is to get around the metro. I think all of us heard about how taxi's were robbing people blind or the other way around, how they are accomplices to crimes, bla bla bla.. The list goes on. Even on the MRT, jeep - no place is safe.

I was really skeptical about UBER. It was only during ZAP TAG's event that I actually believed that it was legit. I got to see how UBER works first hand and frankly I am impressed!

ZAP Crawl Greenhills was held March 8,2014. It was a moving event that started out at the WINE DEPOT but once we were done there, we needed to move our buts out to the DEPARTMENT OF COFFEE at Wilson's St. (and no we did not have to crawl towards Wilsons).

Most of you must be thinking, that in an event like that, they should have had a car waiting for us. But they DIDN'T! Because they had something BETTER for us. 

UBER, how should I say this. It is a mode of transportation. A great mode at that. It is NOT a cab. It is NOT a rental car. But it is definitely somewhere in between those. Mind you, their cars aren't the usual ones. A good 3 of them are BENZ, Mercedes Benz baby!

Me and Sir Larry!

Leah from The Bright Spot together with her husband Aj and I were the lucky ones to have the Benz when we transferred to The Department Of Coffee. I still can't get over it. For a 90 peso base rate and approximately P13 per kilometer. It is like winning the lottery!

UBER Manila : You safe and convenient way to get around the Metro! c/o : ZAP Crawl Greenhills

Sometimes we all need help running around the metro right?

But I know most of us are probably "Praning" to go on a cab alone, after all the bad press it got these past few months. 

I mean fear surely goes both ways. Some cab drivers have been robbed by passengers too, let us not forget that. But the passengers that were robbed by drivers are mostly women, which magnifies the event a billion times more.

I have to be honest, I was REALLY skeptical about UBER. I mean when I am on the internet and the site immediately asks for a Credit Card (CC) info. My mind just goes "CLOSE THE PAGE! CLOSE THE PAGE!! CLOSE CLOSE CLOSE!!".

And UBER is one of those pages. You cannot register an account without a CC.

So I was like, NO THANKS HUNNY!

So here is an assurance from one skeptic person to another. YOU CAN TRUST THEM.

I experience it first hand when I got invited to ZAP Crawl Greenhills. I got to the meet up place at "WINE DEPOT" in Missouri St. San Juan and when everyone was already there, we had to move to the 2nd stop of the night which was the "DEPARTMENT OF COFFEE" in Wilson's St. and so on and so forth! So stay tunes for my next post.

You would think that in a moving event like that, they should have had a car waiting on us.

Wrong. They didn't! Because they had something BETTER for us. UBER. I must say, it is really convenient. And FANCY! I got to ride the car LIZ UY used. If you are a fan, you know she had the BENZ.
