Thanks to u/boboboipablo3792730's suggestion Davao Food Club now has flairs!

We'll be requiring you to submit your posts with flairs so that the community will be able to sort through the posts better. Please explore them and if you want to suggest, please let us know!

We also have categories that only Mod's can award which are:

Certified Lami, (Multiple Recommendations from the Community)
Certified Wa'y Lami, (Multiple Comments saying to Avoid)
and Certified Sulit ug Lami. (Multiple Recommendations and less than 300 pesos per dish which I believe is a good price for the current market conditions)

I'll be retroactively adding flairs to already existing posts.

Thank you DFC!

Hi DFC! I was just going through the Mod Queue and Tools and saw that we just crossed over 3k members!

I'm extremely grateful for everyone who came in here to look at posts, review food, and comment on their own experiences.

I wanted to start this community because I wanted REAL feedback on restaurants, consistency checks, and an overall platform to showcase what Davao has to offer. And you guys didn't disappoint. I've personally found new favorite resto's because of your recommendations and I've gotten different and fresh perspectives that have changed the way I think about the Davao food scene.

Thank you all for being a part of this!

As the founder and mod of this community, I want to know what you guys want to see here because I want to make this place a more vibrant gathering place of food lovers. So what can we do to improve?

All the best,

-ModJaco

45M here, after longer bike & run bricks my legs get this weird heavy feeling that does not feel like an injury like they are full of concrete and are just overall to move.

I know sleep and easy movement are the main things to help and I'm not trying to buy my way out of recovery but I keep seeing compression boots everywhere and I'm wondering if people here actually use them during training?

If you do, when do you use them? Trying to figure out if they are useful for age-group training or just a nice luxury.

Hi there guys! we're the team behind pokedexgenerator and we've started compiling different guides and challenges.

We think we're pretty comprehensive in what we've put in our site but if we're missing anything, we'd love to know what else we can add! Thank you so much!

I just discovered something about my new routine and I think it's been discussed before but it's so effective that I can't help gush about it! sorry!

I've been someone who always cared way more about getting the workout done than recovering properly. Like I'd finish a run then stretch for like 2 minutes if I could be bothered. But now I'm training for a half marathon in October so I've been trying to be a bit smarter about recovery.

I ended up trying compression boots fully expecting them to be another fitness gimmick and I genuinely thought they were just influencer trend and people convinced themselves they worked because they spent so much money on them but after using them for about two weeks I have to admit...I get it now

They're not some magic fix but my legs don't have the usual heavy feeling the next day. After my long runs I kind of hobble around the house but lately I've also found I'm less annoyed when it's time for the next run because I'm not still recovering from the last one.

The topic has made me curious (especially with how well it works) so I started reading about how they actually work. From what I found, they're supposed to help improve circulation and move fluid through your legs, which can help with post workout soreness and recovery.

Obviously I'm still prioritizing sleep and drinking enough water but I will say wholeheartedly that this has been one of those rare fitness trends that I can actually get behind.

Hi everyone!

As our community continues to grow, we'd like to clarify a few rules to keep r/Davao useful and relevant for everyone.

🚫 No R4R, Dating, or Disguised Relationship Posts

Posts looking for dates, hookups, friends-with-benefits, "looking for someone to hang out 😉", or any similar R4R-style content will be removed immediately.

This subreddit is not a place to find romantic or personal relationships. There are other communities better suited for that purpose.

Also posts requesting information about NSFW or Illegal activities will automatically be deleted.

✅ Activity & Meetup Posts Are Still Welcome

We do encourage posts looking for people to join you for activities, such as:

Sports (pickleball, badminton, running, etc.)
Concerts and festivals
Board games
Hiking
Community events
Hobby groups

The intent should be the activity itself, not finding a date.

Speaking of Events
🎟️ Event Posts Must Include Pricing

If you're posting about an event, whether you're organizing it or simply sharing it, you must clearly state whether it is:

Free; or
Paid (and include the ticket price or registration fee)

No hidden costs or vague "DM for more info" posts. Full disclosure helps everyone decide whether an event is right for them.

Posts that omit this information will be removed until updated.

Thanks for helping keep r/Davao a helpful resource for locals and visitors alike. If you're ever unsure whether your post fits the subreddit, feel free to message the mod team before posting.

Happy posting! 🌴

Maybe it's because I'm getting older, but I was convinced I could still instantly recognize every Pokemon from the games I played as a kid. Then I tried some "Guess that Pokemon" minigames and it turns out there are quite a few I completely forgot existed.

It got me wondering, what retro game do you think you know by heart, but would probably struggle with if someone tested your memory today?

Was curious if you guys have any other games that you could recommend similar to pokedoku or just games in general. I've been playing guess that pokemon on pokedexgenerator mini-games and it's pretty much like wordle and it really helps train me for pokedoku

A few years ago, I was one of those freelancers refreshing Upwork every few minutes, sending proposal after proposal and getting ignored and losing all my connects and having to wait MONTHS to apply again.

Back then, it honestly felt like a race to the bottom. Ang daming talented freelancers fighting over the same projects, and minsan mapapaisip ka talaga kung worth it pa ba.

There was a point where I was stressing over basic expenses. Not "I can't buy a new gadget" stressed. More like "I hope I have enough left for my meds this month" stressed. (I have psychological conditions that I really need medicated to be stable)

So instead of chasing every job, I started focusing on building a portfolio. I took small projects and some paid poorly and a lot of clients were difficult. Some projects went nowhere and projects cancelled with no pay and most made me question my career choices . 😂 But each one that I completed added a little more credibility to my profile.

Then eventually, I landed one really good client.

Not a unicorn by any means and not some millionaire startup founder. Just a good client who paid fairly, respected my work, and kept sending projects. His great reviews led to better clients.
and better clients led to higher rates and those higher rates led to fewer headaches.

Fast forward to today I'm officially Top Rated Plus on Upwork.

The funny thing is that the badge wasn't the real reward. The real reward was finally having breathing room and being able to say no to clients I have a feeling would be bad. Not panicking every time an invoice was delayed and having confidence that I could replace lost income if needed.

And now I'm working on something I never thought I'd be doing when I was desperately sending proposals for scraps: diversifying my income outside freelancing.

I'm currently buying a vending machine and starting a small business venture on the side. Nothing glamorous. No "quit your job and become a millionaire" story. Just trying to build multiple income streams so me and my family aren't dependent on a single income stream.

To everyone in r/buhaydigital who's still grinding through proposals, getting ghosted, or wondering if it's worth it: kapit lang.

You don't need one hundred clients. Sometimes all it takes is one good client to change your trajectory.

Wishing everyone here more wins, better clients, higher rates, and a little less stress this year. We all start somewhere. ❤️

Hi guys, mangutana lang ko asa pinakadabest place for Anniversary Lunch? Sige mi'g adto sa Tadakuma so ayaw lang na to i suggest.

Best for both estetik and flavor. Thank you!

I think I've reached the point where I automatically build the same team every playthrough even on nuzlockes

The most fun I've had recently was forcing myself to use a completely random team and just dealing with whatever I got. Some of the Pokémon looked terrible on paper but ended up carrying the run.

What challenge runs you guys have done that were actually fun and not just frustrating?

Been trying a bunch of AI time tracking/billing tools lately because I absolutely hate reconstructing my week from memory.

AJAX was impressive at first but after a while I noticed I was constantly babysitting it. Felt like I kept having to correct stuff, rename things, clean entries up, explain context etc. Smart tool but sometimes it felt like another thing to manage.

One Point felt more corporate to me. Very process-heavy. I can see why teams would like it but personally it gave me “now I have to maintain the productivity system” energy.

Billables AI was the first one that felt closer to what I actually wanted which is to just quietly figure out what I did without making me think about it.

Not perfect obviously but it felt less intrusive.

Big thing I noticed is most tracking tools still somehow create work and how you end up tracking the tracking.

Billables felt the closest to disappearing into the background which honestly might matter more than having 1000 features.

Would love to know what tools have been absolute game changers and have greatly elevated your streaming

Are there any changes? I've found that I can listen with more intent and am overall more present with my friends.

I was listening to a podcast recently and the funny part was the guest basically saying people should probably listen to fewer podcasts lol. Or at least stop constantly filling every quiet moment with input. Made me realize how little silence most of us actually experience now. Phone out while eating, videos while walking, music while driving, scrolling before bed.

The idea of being alone with your own thoughts for a few days sounds both horrible and kind of appealing at the same time.

Feels like we might be slowly losing the ability to just sit there and exist without stimulation.

I was watching Lynn Hill talk about constantly chasing bigger goals and how easy that turns into burnout after a while. Made me wonder where the line is between improving and just turning the whole thing into pressure.

How do you stay motivated without sucking the enjoyment out of it?
