    Woke up at 3AM, ran through my ref, grabbed 1.25L of Sprite. I realized I put it in a freezer and the whole thing is iced. Ayun, nagmumukmok at hinintay matunaw ang Sprite na para akong na-depress. Tangina hanggang ngayon, di pa tunaw

    Hello. Kumusta Wednesday nyo? Been a while since I checked this community. Wala lang. Felt like posting after talking to @megane_kun@lemm.ee a few days ago. Sana okay kayo lahat. Hahaha

    If you’re bored or just wanna watch something, reco ko isa sa mga favorite series ko. It’s called People Watching.

    Yun lang. Have a great day!

        That guy received an unnecessary amount of flak from social media. Parasite raw when his coworkers were grown adults that voluntarily shared lunch with him. As if naman pag uwi sa bahay at pag pasok sila pa rin gagastos sa pagkain niya, lol.

        Yeah, his priorities are arguably whack, but if it helps a poor salesman make the most out of his doomed dead-end existence, who am I to criticize him for it?

      what’s the hype with iphones anyway? never understood how it became a “statement” for some, like breh it’s just a phone. idgaf if you’re holding a cheap android, as long as it’s functional. i don’t judge cheap android users but i do judge iphone clout users.

        Android phones are so cheap you can replace it right away once it’s lost or damaged in real time. iPhones, not.

        May pang-emergency fund na ako pambili ng phone na pinag-ipunan ko ₱50/day except Saturdays since nabili ko ang Redmi Note 11 last year.

        I’m not an iPhone owner, but they do have some features that, as an Android user since the beginning, are enviable. Magsafe charging, better and more secure FaceID, camera PQ that aren’t overprocessed like with flagship Androids, the tech behind AirTags that don’t make them useless outside your range, consistent battery optimization, and their native ecosystem of apps like FaceTime, Airdrop, iMessage, and so on.

        Most importantly, resale value na hindi bagsak presyo a few years later. I hate it when my all-powerful Note 20 Ultra that’s only 2.5 years old costs less than an iPhone XS Max (which came out in 2018!) in the aftermarket.

          The devices are top-notch hardware-wise, it’s just the Apple execs ruining its reputation by marking the prices up.

        Because it’s pricey it’s used as a status symbol, even if you can barely keep up with the monthly payments. Much like if you own a designer bag 🤷

        I do own an iPhone, coming from using Android since Eclair/Froyo. I’ve been down deep in the custom ROM rabbit hole so switching to an iPhone and not having to jailbreak/root is a novelty. I still keep an Android but it’s a backup/sacrifice phone.

        Also, the Apple ecosystem is really enticing. Since starting with an iPad 5 years ago, I now have an iPhone, Macbook, and Airpods and the integration between them is pretty good.

    I don’t know if eating just once a day is affecting my overall outlook but damn this is not what I signed up for. I’m hungry lol. And not in the mood to do much. Been an issue for months now. I guess that’s just how it is.

    Tumbling tumbling muna in my mind hahaha. See what happens lol. I’ll try to actually live a bit more but with limits all over the place, I’m not sure I can. I just hate how work is deemed “necessary” but all it can supply is 1, maybe 2 meals a day. I didn’t sign up for this grind bullshit when I was born. Or for most other systems at work at this world. This ain’t it.

    Anyway, listen na lang muna sa music while clock watching at work. 6.5 hours to go. What a drag.

    a coworker showed me one of of Blackpink Jennie’s performance clips which could be described as rather uh daring

    me: oh that clip i’ve absolutely never seen that before

    proceeds to talk about this Blackpink liberated girl-positivity vibe that they seem to have ended up going for, and 4th gen is straying away from it with underwear that would unapologetically for the sake of proper coverage

    tho i wonder what she thinks of the fact that i was 0% tantalized by Jennie’s mm spread. yes po ate i’m either gay or a porn addict

      I’m a grown-ass dad, but I sometimes make sneaking glances at the telly whenever Blackpink, Momoland, etc. inexplicably shows up.

      I also follow whatever bikini-clad influencer IG recommends to me despite being fully unaware of how old those “women” are. ROTFLMAO.

    Hay may i-ccharge sakin dahil may mali ako. How do I feel about this now compared to x months ago? As long as di umabot ng thousands I’m not gonna hyperventilate over it. And trust me, I’m keeping track. May threshold rin naman ako.

    Medyo nasasanay na ako on incurring losses, whether it’s work-related or not. I feel like a gambler na iniisip na they can earn it back anyway. Not that I would know. Feeling ko lang that’s how they would feel.

    At first I was upset about it, like any normal employee. Then I started doing my calculations and considering some things and I’ve concluded that it’s not worth crying over. Hindi pa oras makipag-break chz

    That’s my character development, I guess. I’m not really sure if that’s disappointing or not. I feel less emotional and less reactive. Of course, I still believe stuff like that shouldn’t be shouldered by the employee esp if you consider yung sahod nila.

    Basta ayun, I just gotta persist and hopefully may bumunga na nakakatuwa in a month or two 🤔 kapag hindi ako natuwa edi move on to the next 🤷‍♀️ I’ve placed my bets anyway.

    You win some, you lose some. I’m going to win eventually.

      This is from my personal experience, so please take this with a grain of salt:

      Palaging low-batt, kahit na 24/7 na naka-charge. Mabagal mag-load ng apps at minsan biglang mag-ooverheat. Maiisip mo na lang na mas madali na bumili na lang ng bago kaysa pagtiyagaan at piliting ayusin.
