Hello! I saw this at SM Hypermarket. Mukhang matibay naman siya kasi medyo mabigat. Anyone here na nakabili na nito? Kumusta naman yung quality? matibay ba talaga?

Also, if may alam kayong ibang mura pero matibay na alternative, pa-reco naman please! 🙏

Nakakatakot siya, pero at the same time, ang sarap din isipin 😅

Like, "wait… 8 years old na naman ako. Pero alam ko na kung ano ang mangyayari sa buhay ko."

Tapos mapapaisip ako kung gaano ka-weird yung experience na bumalik sa katawan at mundo ng isang bata habang adult na yung consciousness mo.

At siguro mapapansin ko yung mga bagay na dati normal lang pero ngayon sobrang precious, like:

- yung parents ko na baka mas bata pa ngayon kaysa sa memory ko sa kanila.

- yung mga relatives na alam kong darating yung araw na mawawala.

- yung childhood friends ko na hindi ko na nakakausap or ka-close ngayon.

- yung bahay, school, neighborhood, mga bagay na akala mo ordinary lang noon pero ngayon alam mong bahagi pala ng isang panahon na hindi na mauulit.

- yung sarili mong 8yo life na hindi mo na-appreciate noon dahil bata ka lang naman.

Pero may creepy part din syempre. Imagine alam mo na ang 2026. Alam mo ang internet, smartphones, AI, socmeds, pandemics, lahat ng nangyari sa mundo, pati personal events ng buhay mo. Tapos nasa 1996 ka at wala kang paraan para patunayan na alam mo ang future 🤷‍♀️

You'd basically be carrying 30 years of memories inside an 8yo life 🤸‍♀️

And then I'd probably ask myself:

"Kung alam ko na ngayon ang lahat ng alam ko sa 2026, gusto ko bang ulitin ang buhay ko exactly as it happened, or may babaguhin ako?"

Pero there's an even deeper question:

"Kung babaguhin ko yung buhay ko, magiging ako pa rin ba yung taong nakilala ko sa 2026?"

Kasi halimbawa, alam mong may isang decision kang ginawa noong 20s mo na naging malaking factor sa buhay mo. This time, you avoid it. Great. Pero baka dahil doon, hindi mo na makilala yung mga taong naging important sa'yo. Baka ibang career. Ibang relationship. Ibang family. Ibang ikaw.

So personally, I think the most emotional part wouldn't be "I get to be young again."

It would be:

"I get to see everyone again, at a time when none of us knew yet how much things were going to change."

That's a very different kind of nostalgia. 🥹

Ps: ramen looks pale pero masarap naman sya hehe 😅

I received a message from BPI saying it was pre-approved. Honestly, I'm hesitant about it being pre-approved. But why do I have to enter my current CC details along with CVV and expiry date?? (See pic 3) Seems a bit shady. Is this legit? Has anyone encountered this?

EDIT: Nagclick ako ng link yes admittedly mali ko yon Pero HINDI AKO NAG PUSH THROUGH SA PAG ENTER NG CC DETAILS KO. Kasi nga don nagflagged sakin na smth is off.

So i asked lang dito if u guys encountered the same.

Pero grabe, damang dama ko yung mga mura and yung pang huhusga na para bang nakapatay na ako ng tao.

Anyway, lesson learned sakin. Thank you! Magandang gabi sainyo, God bless!

Dinner: honey garlic tofu with rice & spicy mayo.

My partner and I are both software engineers, and recently I was complaining that an app I genuinely found useful pivoted to an ad-based/monthly subscription model, so I stopped using it because I hated ads popping up every 10 seconds.

Well, today he sent over an app file for my phone and told me to install it...turns out when I slept in earlier he grabbed my phone, got screen shots of the app to figure out what it does, and recreated it's main feature from scratch. No ads, no subscription, no account, and as a plus the data now stays on my phone instead of getting stored on some server God knows where.

He gave me access to the code too so we spent the afternoon adding back more features to the app together & optimizing it to run better :') what makes this even more endearing is that making mobile apps is the exact opposite of his specialty, he actually slightly dislikes UI/design work and he still took the initiative and effort to do this for me 🥺

At every turn he tries to make my life easier (and vice versa, of course). He claims to have a terrible memory but remembers the smallest things about me that actually make a huge difference. I love him so much it's so hard to put it in words

EDIT: I've never had a post get this much attention 😅 but yes I made the tofu and here's the recipe!
