May pakain sa probinsya tapos mukhang excited si kapatid kasi iluluto daw sa harap yung dish ganun. I guess it's a performance thing? Mababa ang expectations ko, I'm just there for the food, performative tricks don't really do it for me.
Kaya ganito ako kasi bumibili naman ako dun sa buy 1 take 1 burger at okay naman. Panget ko mag-compare 😂 wag na lang patagalin kapag gutom is what I'm saying lol
Well, the lolos and lolas need some entertainment, I guess. Hindi naman ako yung magbabayad. Whatever. Thank you for the food.
In today's episode of Let's Debunk an r/PH Karma-Farm Hate Post:
"Overkilling it with lighting" is a stretch. That's literally 10 rows of energy-efficient LED T8 tubes that run at five hours a day more or less, same goes with those LED screens. If I'm not mistaken, these EV chargers also draw power from solar panels.
It's atrocious that a full time work week dito sa Pilipinas is fucking 48 hours and not 40 hours.
My first job, mandatory 1 hour OT (para daw maka-compete sa India) and mandatory 1.5 hours lunchbreak. That's 52.5 hours per week excluding travel.
Looking back, not really sure if it's all that legal, but knowing the company, they probably have loopholes prepared should it be questioned.
Average-earning Filipinos need 80 working days to purchase iPhone 15 Pro
Ayan na po favorite article ng mga pinoy na pakialamero/pakialamera at matapobre, haha.
should've used median earnings and not average. tapos numbeo figures pa ginamit? unreliable, but good enough for entertainment I suppose
Numbeo pala source nito. That means it's useless. User submitted ang data nila diba?
Sabi ko na scammer yung nag-PM sa akin na nanghihingi ng more pics kahit na nandun na halos lahat ng posibleng angles. Obviously yung original pics gagamitin niya on a fake ad of his own. I declined.
A week later, may post sa isang group na he tried to scam someone using the middleman strategy.
There should be a term for the style of Filipino that Shopee speaks, lmao. POGOpino? TagaloGPT?
Machine translated hahahaha
Friend and I were talking about work at natatawa siya because it was like I was hoping for the company's downfall. Did I sound like that? Whoopsie. 😆 I'm just saying, it really is about to go down and I'm gonna enjoy the show.
Of course, I can only talk like that kasi siya kausap ko. If it was any random person (or job interview) syempre I'd be more careful and neutral. Si coworker kapag pinag-uusapan 'to nasasayangan siya, and nakiki-sympathize ako. May downside naman kasi, ako lang talaga ay tapos na dito deep inside. Nakapag move on na ako.
I do like my job, just maybe not the company. I'm still surprised I lasted this long.
Parang gusto ko lumabas ng bahay today but at the same time ayaw ko gumastos. Gusto ko mag mibf and I wanna buy my cookies. Or go to timezone or mag gym or skate. All of which require spending 🤑
Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: What is far more rare than people realize?
I found out last year that cashews take 2-3 years to harvest, which explains why they're more expensive than your usual nuts.
Went to MIBF yesterday and I was surprised na merong Dianetics booth offering "free stress test". For some reason I never really considered na may Scientologists sa PH.
Grabe ang shrinkflation kung bibili kayo ng vita soy na plastic bottle. Ang skinny tinggnan parang bote ng hot sauce ng ufc.
Binabalik-balikan ko itong Where The Crawdads Sing (2022). Though it wasn't shot on film and not a perfect, this movie always reminds me of simple, traditional filmmaking we're lacking nowadays. It's relaxing and beautiful.
What's your comfort and/or guilty pleasure pictures?
