I don't know any good parking garage here in manila. All of them seem to have those nipples on the ramp so that the tires of the car will have more grip hehe

Learn to love the rain.

Don't you have another month or two of rain season? If I still lived over there I think I'd:
invest in some rain bearings,
aqua hawgs (or customize my own) wheels,
make sure the deck is completely sealed,
probably smear petroleum jelly over all exposed metal parts

and go skate.

At least you're not wishing snow and ice would go away.

easier to slide in the rain though!

Here, check out these other threads on the fish about dealing with rain. In your case, you're forced into several months of non-stop rain. Some peeps can't miss out on a day or two though and then there's the folks who've gone on long distance pushes.

Longboards and rain

awesome tips!

what about tips to make cleaning bearings easier? i always prick my fingers when i use a needle to open up the c thing before taking out the cover

I dunno, I've saved a piece of the snap off razor blade and just use that to prick it out.
