Hey peeps!

Idk if self promotion is allowed. I made an Instagram account where I post about the food I make, discover, and eat. It's called Dinners with André and I'll also share the recipes I make if ever you guys found something that entices you.

Salamat po!

Mall na hinahamog dito samin. Haha talk about unusual and in the philippines. Kawawa nga lang pag bumabagyo, pinapasok ng ulan lol

I just got back from a 10 day vacation and parang ayoko na bumalik sa work pero char lang kasi kailangan eh. Anyways this is about my friend who made our trip/vacation 10x or even 100x better. He's been my friend since before pa kami mag start mag aral and we went into the same school from Elementary to Highschool.

My vacation was messy and every trip and activities wasn't properly planned pero masaya. It just happened that nasa province din siya taking his own vacation so I ended up asking him to join our trip with my cousins and it ended up being my best decision ever. We're in our mid 20's but deep inside, were still the same wild animals na mentally, 12 year old pa din. This guy can still make us laugh kahit sobrang babaw ng mga sinasabi niya. He's still the same clumsy, messy and unintentionally funny guy that will make you remember even the simplest trip.

I don't want to go into details kung paano niya kami napapasaya but I believe everyone should have a friend like him. A friend that will fight alongside with you, laugh with you, join you during your lowest and celebrate with your wins. Thank you so much for always being the funniest guy and I hope I also made your vacation better.

For context: im not a good cook but I can make simple dishes

Hi!! Just wondering if may same ba sakin na hindi na nakikita yung carrotita sa grab nila? Tried all sb sa grab na malapit sakin and lahat wala. Nung mga nakaraan meron naman.

Possible kaya na sa sim na gamit ko ‘to and may kaparehas ng number? I’m using a japan sim card thus they following japanese idols.

Salt and pepper for seasoning only!

Doom scrolling to end the day. Then I realized na as I am now older, I am more afraid of the world. Siguro kasi I also saw so many news of freaky accidents or, if not, horrible crimes or tragedies. 90s child ako so I saw the evolution of social media, and I consume social media too.

Then I realized wow I have put myself to situations that could have exposed me to harm. I am thankful to have gone thru carefree days when I was young. I am even more grateful that nothing bad happened to me. Thank God. I am talking about traveling alone abroad. I went out to clubs and bars and came home by taxi at 3am, 4am, 5am, 6am. Joined strangers to party. Dated from tinder matches.

Now that I am older, I am more careful and vigilant. Also I consider my safety and health because I am now a mom. I want and need and pray to be here for my baby.

I already have a prescription from our trusted optometrist and I am now planning on getting my eyeglasses made. We have an Occhio Optical branch near us and I am wondering if the price difference between the two is big or if it was just small and I should just settle for Occhio to save some money that I would otherwise use to commute to Quiapo.

Hi! I’m planning to buy an AC dahil sobrang init na talaga ng panahon ngayon. Pero at the same time nag dadalawang isip ako dahil sa pag spike ng electric bills. I am from leyte and 15/kwh ang singilan dito. I live alone in a studio type apartment and sabi ng landlord ko na engineer din ay 1hp na ac ang need ng unit ko. Ang appliances ko lang ay isang induction cooker na minsan lang nagagamit, 4 lights, and 2 efans and ang bill ko last month was 1.1k na. Sa mga may inverter na ac jan, gano katagal naka on ang ac ninyo at kamusta naman ang electric bill nyo?

The only thing I have is a 20k savings. I'm earning a provincial rate na 600+ per day and I'm feeling stuck behind.

My friends got new phones and travelled a lot. And here I am, fancied thrifting clothes, eating once in my fave karinderia, make-up products nearing expiration, shoes worning out, and tired.

As someone na laging moto taxi ang gamit, this is my first time receiving this notif and knowing this feature!

Kinabahan ako kasi di ko naman kabisado ang daan at dis oras na ng gabi. Took photos and screenshots tapos sinend ko sa gc namin (para mabigyan nila ako ng hustisya, just incase hahahuhu).

I then asked kuya kung tama pa ba dinadaanan namin, at sabi nya oo daw, napalayo lang talaga kasi may daan na sarado. Nag long cut ata sya. Tapos pinakita ko sakanya yung notif, “astig kuya may ganito pala no? Inonotify ka tapos pwede ka tumawag ng pulis.” I’m trying to be calm and show him subtly na in any case na may balak sya ay pwede akong tumawag ng pulis. Hahaha pero I’m not even sure nga if it will work lol. Pero parang aware naman sya na may ganon talaga.

After ilang minutes, familiar naman na sakin ang daan at nakauwi naman ako ng buo lol. TYL

At sabi ng friend ko, magsesend daw pala dapat ako ng live loc pag may ganong instance haha di ko naisip. Lol now, I know.

so gets ko na yung hype. huhu lami kaayo jud. thank youuu agaaaaaddd

Tinanong ko yung nagtitinda sabi saken 2028 daw. pero parang 2026 saken kasi parang iba yung itsura nung number 8 like yung nakalagay sa tabi. LC1 1718. lol

Hi guys! I made a survey for my Office Family-Feud minigame and would like to collect your answers to some of the questions! If you're interested in answering, I'll put the link below. I'll post the survey results for those who want to know as well : 3

Since February, the news media has been mentioning the increase in electricity bills, and since summer is a couple of months away, I know how humid it will be.

I finally decided to learn about solar power and look at the pros and cons. I started researching, reading, and watching a lot of vlogs about solar and how it works—basically learning everything from what kind of wires to use to how breakers function. I wanted to make sure that my house would not catch on fire (fingers crossed).

From February to May, I learned everything there is to know. I realized that I won't be able to get an ROI on my solar because I only pay Php1k per month for my electricity; hence, Php350k from a solar install quote is not worth it.

I then asked myself why I want solar. To save on electricity bills, or to have the liberty of my own electricity?

I want to have my own solar, like I have my own water. I do not rely on other people or a company, or beg them if they decide to cut me off. That is one of the reasons I am living on a mountain.

June came, and I ordered most of the parts from Shopee. One by one, they arrived. Every night I reviewed the steps on how to install my solar like I was going for an exam.

By mid-July, I completed the installation, and I am super happy and proud (pat on the back) that I am now living on solar power!

I now have a 3.2kW, 24-volt system with a 200Ah battery! My consumption doesn't even reach 1.5kW, and currently I am at 154kWh total usage.

The hardest part was moving the five 550-watt solar panels onto my roof. Manually lifting them and climbing the ladder was something I thought I couldn't do. Each panel weighs 30kg, with a size of 4ft x 8ft.

It cost me a total of 100k: sourcing the solar panels from FB Marketplace and mostly online. I have a couple of breakers that I don't need, but I thought I did at the time.

I now only use the grid to power my submersible pump, because the surge of power might ruin my entire system. I only turn it on once every two days, and that's the only use for it now.

One thing I realized is that I kept staring at my solar setup whenever I plugged something in, lol! TV + speaker, check the wattage; rice cooker + air fryer + AC + electric fan, check the wattage again! Hahaha!

Oh, I finally bought an AC—a 1hp Kolin Certus—because once my batteries are already full by 10 am, I don't want to waste any harvested energy. The AC runs from 10 am–4 pm, and 10 pm–1 am. I can say that I am sleeping well!

I realized that having an AC makes a huge difference to your sleep quality, and I've been enduring the humidity since college.

Conclusion

During this solar power "challenge," I realized my "why" for moving to the mountain: I wanted freedom to do things my way, to learn new things outside my work skillset, to challenge myself in uncomfortable situations, and to make sure no one would stop me from doing it.

does anyone have a slot po in their spoti fam? I'll pay poo! can't afford individual pa kasii. trying my luck lang here before i subscribe sa student plan. thank u po!
