I've been preparing for my upcoming beach vacation, and this is my tenth week using the Air 10, mainly on Fast-Normal mode, usually after showering.

My arm and leg hair is almost gone, but the pigmentation under my arms and bikini area is more noticeable without hair. Are there any quick ways to remove it?

Sharing my financial win!

Ayoko gumastos kasi mahal yung mga gusto ko lol. So nakaipon ako sa pagtitiis, kahit gustong gusto nang bumili ng damit. Hahaha. Motivation din yung vacation ko sa Bali this 25th, soo this is so fulfilling.

Sana lang talaga wala na kong kailanganing bilhin para hindi na mabawasan huhu.

I’m trying to be realistic here, not negative, just tired of buying things twice.

So I added a small setup to my shed roof last year. Didn’t want to drill too much so I went with a flexible solar panel thinking it would be easier and lighter. Install was honestly simple, just glued it down and ran the wires. First few months, no issue at all. Output looked fine for what I needed (lights, charging tools, small fan).

But now… it’s not the same. Output dropped, not completely dead but noticeable. I checked the wiring, controller, even cleaned the surface. Still feels weaker than before.

I’m starting to think these things just don’t last long in real sun/heat. The roof gets very hot mid day. Maybe that’s killing it? I see people online saying they’re great, but I’m not really seeing long term proof.

Also I got mine from a seller my friend found on Alibaba. The price was good, delivery took forever though. To be fair, it worked at first so I can’t fully complain. But now I’m like… should I just have gone rigid panel from the start?

For those living off grid full time, are you actually trusting flexible panels long term or just using them temporary? I don’t want to keep replacing stuff every year.

I thought this job was going to be simple but now I'm not fully convinced.

I'm working on a small commercial panel upgrade. Nothing too complex. Swapped out some old breakers and added a few new runs. Everything tested fine at first, the voltage was stable, no issues whatsoever…

Then under the load, things started acting strange.

One of the moulded case circuit breakers would trip randomly, not instantly, just after a few minutes. Not even close to rated load from what I can measure. I checked connections, torque is correct, no visible heat damage, wiring is clean.

But here’s what I think actually caused it… Things that “should work” don’t always behave the same once real load comes in. Especially when components come from mixed sources

I started digging into the breaker specs and honestly, not all of them give clear data. Some brands list detailed trip curves, others barely explain anything.

I've even seen same units across different suppliers, including ones listed around alibaba and other bulk platforms. Same casing, same markings, completely different reliability from what I’ve experienced before.

I’m not saying that’s the issue yet, but it does make me question consistency.

Right now I'm debating whether to replace the breaker again or keep troubleshooting upstream.

Has anyone run into delayed tripping like this without obvious overload? what was the actual cause in your case

In 2013, I met her. We were classmates. We became a trio with another friend. We hung out a lot, we update each other often, and we have visited each other's houses already.

In 2014, I switched schools. A school near her house. So it made me closer to her, because we hung out more than we used to. She became my super duper best friend. I went to her house in between breaks, and I sometimes cut class just to accompany her to school. Later that year, I confessed to her that I had fallen in love with her. And she accepted me.

In 2018, I just broke up with her. And I had been blaming myself for it. We were so in love, and we were each other's first girlfriend, so I really don't know what went wrong. She just changed.

But I love her. So much.

So from 2018 to 2020, I tried to reach out, be close with her again, just to try to be together again. Even if flings passed by, I still try to come back to her. I even tried to make her jealous by posting conversations and updates on Twitter, because I knew she was still following me back then and was active on the platform. But to no avail.

I was always thinking of her. Even in my sleep, I dreamed of her. Every place I went to, I picture our memories.

So for the last time, I asked God for a sign, that if I ever find our number, anywhere, any time soon, I would keep on pursuing her. I begged. But nothing.

So I stopped pursuing her.

Then in 2020, I found my guy. He made me laugh. He made me forget about her, even though at times, I still think about her. But at least he made me feel like I can fall in love again. And then we got married in 2024.

Fast forward to 2025. I saw her again for the first time while driving a scooter. She saw me. I smiled, she smiled, and she mouthed "look at the road!" Haha. She's still funny.

Fuck it. I wanted to stop and hug her and have conversations with her again. But I looked shitty coz I hadn't bathed yet, and my husband and I had to go somewhere else, so I just continued driving.

When I got home, we chatted.

After some time, she apologized. Because she left me hanging. Because she ignored me even though she knew we still had the chance. Because she was in a dark place, and she couldn't find the light in me anymore. And because she held on to the decision that someone else would give me the love that I deserve.

She had seen my updates on twitter, and she was rooting for me in every update. She had prayed that I would find somebody soon enough, so she'd be out of misery. And when she had gotten into trouble, she said she wanted to crawl back to me and beg to take her back.

She said sorry. That's why she couldn't start loving someone yet, because she felt guilty all this time. She thought I resented her and that I was mad at her.

But I didn't, you know? I still have this love for her after all this time. It's because she will always be my first and last girlfriend.

After that closure, I felt at ease. I felt something freed up in my mind. At least I knew she cared for me, even though I was miserable in our separation. She loved me even though we were hurting.

Thank you for that closure. I didn't know that was what I needed.
