In other news, I'm currently craving for sauerkraut and bratwurst. But I'm piss-ass poor and unapologetically broke so... *bukas ng sardinas*

I am craving for ube-flavored ice cream. Yung one-pint na nabibili sa convenience stores sa Pinas. 😞

I love the Philippines The price tag of a shirt said β‚½100 (around $3) I went to pay, β€œthat will be β‚½100” Wow no tax, no extra fees Just $3 like the tag said

In the Philippines, the tax is already included in the tag priceβ€”in all places. This means no work for the customers and more work for the bookkeepers/accountants.

I'm just a tad bit surprised that I haven't experienced any outages from the websites and services I've been using for the past day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/July_2024_global_cyber_outages #CrowdStrike #CyberOutages

I will refrain from accessing PH banking apps for now.

Recently I’ve gotten into the habit of increasing the speed of a certain class of YouTube videos to 1.5Γ— (or 1.25Γ— or 1.75Γ— depending on the video). I guess I’m not alone? πŸ˜…

That, and I also have a habit of checking out the 3-minute and 7-minute marks of a 10 minute episode to see if it interests me. Some creators and padding their content to be able to monetize.

What is the English equivalent of the Tagalog πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ phrase: "anak ng tipaklong"

the "tipaklong" here is a euphemism for "p*ta". So, "anak ng tipaklong" is more or less "son of a gun".

@fredc@mastodon.online There's a PH POGO Discord chat https://discord.com/invite/kKs2CR9 I'm not sure if anyone is using Niantic Social/Chat… it's too slow. Hahaha. But last I check there's a group there too but inactive. When I was still playing POGO, I just check the discord for updates, then I visit the area and β€œhide” somewhere. ^_^;; Even in ARG, I like to play solo. There is also a Telegram group but I don't have the link currently.

If only I can find Pinoy raiders here in Montreal.

Replied to For Sona day, Sara Duterte appoints self β€˜designated survivor’ by NewsPublishNewsPublish (newsinfo.inquirer.net)

She’s not taking any chances. Vice President Sara Duterte said on Thursday she would be skipping President Marcos’ third State of the Nation Address (Sona) on July 22, declaring in jest that she would be the β€œdesignated survivor” should catastrophe befall the annual event attended by the country’s top officials. β€œNo, I will not attend […]
