For me, mag ukay-ukay.

How often do you wash your pants?

For work usually chinos suot ko, tas mode of transport ko is typically MoveIT, MRT, tas lakad mga 15 minutes to the office. Pauwi reverse lang, but add LRT.

Pag uwi ko usually sinasampay ko para maarawan then every other week ko ilalagay sa washing machine. Though I'm not sure if eto best practice? I read somewhere di naman kasi dapat sobrang frequent ng hugas but it does feel kinda gross lalo since summer ngayon.

Parang "for richer or poorer" is outdated na. Kung mapapansin niyo, a lot of people — hindi lang women, men din — are very upfront now na financial stability is a requirement, not just a preference.

Hindi ko sinasabing mali yan. Adulting is expensive. Pero may point ba tayo kung kailan ang "standards" ay nagiging "I'm only here for the upgrade"?

Genuine question: do you think there's still a difference between having financial standards vs. being with someone purely for the money? Or blurred na yung line?

If you're given a chance to travel for your 30th birthday, where would you go? Gusto ko sana mavisit any part of Europe. I want to do something special for myself sana.

I feel like that's a reasonable thing to want. Gawin nilang Visa-free ang Japan para sa ating mga Pilipino dahil sinakop nila tayo, inalila at pumatay sila ng mga ninuno natin. Kahit pakunsuwelo na lang sa mga perhuwisyong idinulot nila sa atin. Entitlement, I know, pero sa paraan na pagtrato nila sa atin, they are racist to us just like Koreans, I just dont care. These are just factors why I don't consider going to Korea or Japan. Racist stories. I don't feel safe goinfg there because I have a brown skin. Nakakahiya naman sa mga puti nilang balat.

edit: Ang tanga lang no'ng comments na "hindi na-grant-an 'yan ng Visa. When I haven't even applied because I do not like Japan and wala akong plano dahil nga sa ginawa nila sa atin historically. It's a general rant and I can rant about it because I am a Filipino, not because I applied for a Visa. Hirap makipag-usap sa mga tanga like u/randomuserguyfren

Plus, 'yong mga nag-bring up ng Spain and USA. Malamang alam ko 'yan. Ituro ba naman mula Grade 1 hanggang uni. I just singled out Japan. Hirap makipag-usap sa mga tanga na natuto ng mental gymnatics sa TikTok, jusko.

Anyways, I just ranted randomly and I made dumb people like you mad so who lost? Not me. Take a deep breath and don't hyperventilate, okay?

Dumating na bill nyo sa Meralco? Samin sa 25 pa, medyo kinakabahan ako sa pagdating ng bill. ang daming nag rereklamo lately sa office namin ng bill nila sa Meralco.. Ganun din Meralco FB page.

Living with my two elderly parents and an autistic brother.

We barely use our inverter aircon now. Maaga na nagpapatay ng aircon. Ni di namin magamit na kahit super init na.

We barely even use lights na. I don't even play as much as sa computer nowadays just to save up on electricity.

We even had a three hour brownout. And they said na baba sila ng singil.

And they had the fucking gall to give us a bill... From 9k to 9.2k

Somehow all that pagtitipid namin and they said na 2 percent increase pa kami.

Tangina na lang eh. I'm still waiting sa details ng bill but from online according sa consumption namin from 586 kwh (nagsimula na kami magtipid) to 596 kwh. Somehow all that pagtitipid and we still have an Increase!

What a fucking joke. Feel na feel ko either sira etong pinalitan nila na metro last year, they are somehow tampering with it, or something is really wrong na talaga.

This is beyond ridiculous na.

For context, my (36F) SO (39M) is turning 40 this October and I want to surprise him with something special. I like giving surprises kaso di ako magaling maisip ng pang regalo. Maybe someone here can help me? Thank you!

Anong mga mai-irecommend niyo na proven na nakakapakapal ng kilay? Lalake pala ako kaso hindi pinalad sa kakapalan ng kilay, kaya gusto ko kumapal pa 'to.

TYIA!

Hello! So I was with my Chinese counterpart sa work. He visited the Philippines for the first time. Since first time niya, ine-expect ko na may mga questions siya about our culture, customs, food, etc. I was excited din to share my experience and knowledge as Filipino-born.

So breakfast sa hotel, nandoon yung first exposure sa Filipino culture kasi Filipino breakfast yung most options sa buffet.

So yun na nga, eating at the table and I had my first question. "Why is the lemonade blue?" FCK. Bakit nga ba? 😭😭😭 All my enthusiasm drained because of that one question. Bakit nga ba may blue lemonade tayo? Sa utak ko napaisip din ako bakit may pink lemonade?

Blue lemonade is part of our dining experience when going out to restaurants. It's readily available in grocery shelves and in your suking sari-sari store. Pero did anyone of us even dared to ask, bakit nga ba blue?

Anyone know good Korean restos around Metro Manila that serve legit doenjang jjigae? Been craving this soup lately 😭 Preferably around Makati or BGC but willing to travel if it’s that good.
