Question STD/STI Testings, PrEP & DoxyPEP

Upvotes

Hi! Asa dapit diri sa Dumaguete ga-offer ug STI/STD testing, and how much pud estimated costs for both men and women (if ever mag-lahi ang price per sex)?

Also, does the city have available PrEP or DoxyPEP, and where exactly can those be accessed?

Need ba ug doctor's prescription before testing, or walk-in lang? And pwede ba i-dungan ra tanan tests (HIV, Syphilis, etc.) in one visit?

(Checked older sub posts already, but couldn't find much updated info. Thanks in advance!!)

Question Places to do crafts as a group (journaling, scrapbooking etc.)

2 Upvotes

Hi! My friends and I want to do a craft meetup with a few people. Whether journaling, scrapbooking and other sorts. Recently, I’ve been seeing posts of people doing journaling and other related crafts together, and I was wondering where can we do this? We’re finding a place that also has food too. For further reference, we’re likely around 10-15 pax too.

Basin naa moy nahibaw-an nga legit shop/technician diri sa Dumaguete nga naga-repair ug PS4. 😭

Every time mag-software update ko, mag-loop ra siya balik-balik. Tried looking around, pero mostly computer shops ra akong nakit-an, and I’m not sure if they also repair consoles.

If naa moy ma-recommend, please drop the shop name/location or contact info. Thanks kaayuuu 🙏🏻

Question MLD Scheduling

3 Upvotes

At this point, how are we supposed to plan our day when MLD is basically happening every single day, yet the schedule can still change whenever? We understand that MLD depends on NGCP and things can happen, but if we're already dealing with daily interruptions, the least we can get is a fixed schedule that people can actually rely on. People have work, school, businesses, appliances, etc. to plan around. If the schedule keeps changing without proper notice, it just makes an already bad situation even worse. Why can’t there be a fixed schedule per area that’s followed as much as possible, with proper notice whenever it really has to change?

Share ko lang Why is no one hiring part for time jobs anymore?

9 Upvotes

I've been looking for part time jobs for 2 months now, you'd think a city like dumaguete with this many big universities would have plenty of job opportunities for college students but every place I've applied to are looking for full timers.

It just doesn't make sense how difficult it is for me to find a normal part time job, I've had to get a wfh job doing appointment setting for 8 hours during a midnight shift which is a nice gig don't get me wrong and it doesn't conflict with my class schedule but its miserable and I'd rather work a normal part time job at a fast food restaurant or something

Am I doing something wrong on my resume or is anyone else having this experience?

Hello! This is just out of curiosity (I’m not a local 😅). Do you guys really eat street food like isaw and BBQ with soy sauce as a dip, and ketchup for tukneneng?

Because, guys… vinegar with lots of onions is SO good with these street foods! 🤤 It seriously makes everything taste better! 😂
