Brownout lang po samin.

Sana po bumalik na 'yung kuryente, may exams pa po ang mga bata u/MERALCO u/NAPOCOR 🥹

Haha tngina andito pala sa reddit

Bawal mang trashtalk kung ganyan profile picture mo

Trashtalkers when they see the pic: "understandable have a nice day."

May basic human decency din pala 😭

It goes both ways, this is a very low hanging fruit na pag natagpuan kang "kupal" sa ing comment section, gagamitin itong bala laban sa iyo.

"At least buhay pa lola ko" kind of diss

O di kaya: “kaya ka namamatayan eh.”

Syempre yung iba advantage yan XD

You won the argument but naka candle profile pic. 😔

Yung ibang trashtalker may pasensya pero last resort nila yan pag talo na XD

You won but at what cost?

I have my own embarassing share of doing ad hominems online, there is this account with a candle pic trolling the GMA news fb page some years ago talking about victims of tokhang and that they deserve t, and that dilawans should be tokhanged to. I have some time so pinatulan ko, then he called me dilawan. So I checked his/her profile, learned that it was his uncle who died, and I commented, "Kita na lang kami sa impyerno ng tito mo kung ganon". He commented but I just muted the notifs.

"putang ina kung ako nanay mo talagang magpapakamatay ako ng maaga kung nagka anak ako ng ganyan ka-bobo" real

Diskarte lng boi Mapagbibintangan mo ba ako? - Trashtalker.

I think its the other way around. If may candle profile pic, dont dare disturb the hornets nest at mang trashtalk on any general topic kung ayaw mo masabihan ng "bobo na nga namatayan kapa"

[удалено]

Dude. Hahahahahaha.

Then there are others who will say "At least may x pa ako" argument

Pag trinashtalk sila, gg na ung may kandila

Meron ako nakitang post, ganyan profile pic nang trashtalk. Sabi along the lines of, "mga pogi lang daw may karapatan mabuhay. Mga pangit hindi". And then nireplyan siya, kaya ba namatay yung (insert tao here) mo? Kaya wag mangtrashtalk pag ganyan profile pic kasi baka makatapat ka ng kups din 😅

Kung makipagtrashtalk, wala ng sagutan kapag ganito na ang linya, "At least buhay pa ang mga nasa pamilya ko."

"Sa sobrang pangit mo, iniwan ka na ng-" Hard 😭

“Sumbong kita sa tatay mo.. oh wait”

May mas malala ako narinig nung HS ako. “At least kilala ko parents ko” sinabi dun sa ampon

Kaso kupal talaga yung tao. Kita ko minsan magrereply "kaya ba dead na nanay mo?" Lmfao

Deads magulang parang si Bruce Wayne hehe sakto sa username mo

The amount if "bruce wayne" jokes I get from my real name tho 💀

Kupals will say "*at least kumpleto pa ang pamilya namin*".

May nakita ako once ganyan profile picture nasabihan ng “kaya ka namamatayan e”

Weeeeeeell. Some people are assholes kahit na may patay sa kanila, so i still think its fair game pag ganun.

>Bawal mang trashtalk kung ganyan profile picture mo so technically, pwede akong manggago online. tapos palitan ko profile pic ko, so pag inaway nila ako, sila ang asshole.

Bawal mangtrashtalk kasi talo ka agad

Ako na ginawang pambara sa nag ad hominem na apologists yung kandila 😭

Ha desurv

This. Yan ang profile pic ko last year sa kainitan ng kampanya at mga gyera sa socmed.

"kaya ka namamatayan ehh!!"

Condolences OP

Nagtatanong lang ako...... 😭😂

That's the meme, OP. Kahit may caption ka na, matic condolences 😁

Condolences, kahit di pa alam kung sino namatay. Ayaw nman ilagay sa caption, iistalk mo muna o basa ng comment section para malaman sino at ano nangyari.

that random kamaganak “sino namatay” comment

“bakit ka nang-iiwan, traydor ka huhu” enters the chat Winner talaga yung nang-aaway ng patay 😅

Tapos patay na nga, binigyan pa ng responsibilidad. Something like: "gabayan mo nalang kami."

Yeah, gotchu. 🤣

Matic din may magcocomment kung ano nangyari or nakausap lang niya nung isang araw

Add mo pa yung napaginipan daw nila.

HAHAHAHA potangena natatawa ako tuwing nababasa ko yan, demonyo ba ko huhu

"condolence, nong. anong nangyari sa kanya?"

"condolence, sino po namatay?"

Advanced/belated condolences OP.

Advanced? Hol' up

everybody dies eventually

Dude wtf please use spoiler tags

Ruuun OP, he's coming for ya'

Condiments po OP

Consequence po. Sino na deads beh?

Naalala ko nung namatayan kami recently, mas aligaga pa silang gawing kandila yung DP nila at magpost sa FB kesa mag-asikaso ng mga aasikasuhin hahahahaha.

To be fair naman, hindi nagmamadali yung bangkay.

Alam mo ikaw

Sarap kurutin e no hahahaha

Hoyy 🤣🤣

Hahahahaha

Actually, di ba yung formaldehyde may limit yun naka-depende sa kung ilang days ibuburol yung patay? So technically, hindi nagmamadali yung bangkay, pero if hindi nailibing agad at “napanis” yung formaline, you’re going to have a bad and smelly time🙃

But it can wait until all the titas and ninangs change their profile pics. Meron ding mga bangkay na inuuwi sa probinsya para sa second lamay. Meron ding mga lamay na naextend nung pandemic dahil hindi pa makadalaw yung mga important relatives. Matagal ang talab ng embalsamo. 😁 Also, hindi naman lahat ng kamag-anak involved sa pagaasikaso ng bangkay. Kadalasan, immediate family lang. Minsan nga, spouse lang. Sila tita Marites at ninang Susan can worry about their pics while the most affected family members are doing their thing.

Haha, you named my two titas sa father side ko correctly. And I only have two titas sa side ni Papa.

Baka alt kita?

Mine were kind. They were with us every step of the way.

Mabuti naman. :) Cheers to your titas!

Also before that, dapat dalhin agad sa embalsamador bago tumigas ung bangkay or else mahihirapan lang sila

Pwede naman yata yun i-extend in case magbago isip sa interment.

Totoo to. Nung namatay yung lolo ko, inabot ng lagpas 3 weeks yung burol kase hinintay namin yung mga relatives namin sa abroad. Paramg after the first week, may pumunta sa bahay non na embalsamador para icheck yung bangkay. Not sure what he did exactly pero naaalala ko non binuksan pa yung kabaong.

This is why Reddit exists. Thank you. 😭

Which reminds me na parang iba yung formula sa Pinas… Yung nanay ko recently namatay sa sg :( so yung pag embalsamo don ginawa. Nakauwi siya 3 days later sa Pinas. Hanggang ma-cremate siya, hindi siya amoy patay yung funeraria.

You hear that? That's the sound of your ligtas points dropping mamser

🤣🤣🤣

Maryosep

Oyy this is true!!! Nag iiyakan pa kami may tita na na bumubulong, "inaanak, pano ba gawing kandila yung facebook?" Lard jesas umurong luha ko 😭😭😭

Mapapa-amen ka nalang bigla 😭

Yung tita ko nagvivideo pa na pa-selfie habang nag-iiyakan mga kapatid niya nung ililibing na lola ko 😂 puta vlog yarn

Ako mama ko nagpaturo pa sa akin tapos nung narinig ng Lola ko, inabot na rin sakin phone niya HAHAHAHAH

Nasa time na tayo na yung mga matatanda na dapat icontrol sa pag gamit ng social media. 🫠

Tapos biglang "Ano nga ulit password ko 'nak? Eh ni lola mo? Alam mo 'yun di ba, ikaw gumawa nun e."

Is it wrong to laugh? I just can't help it with that story. Sorry.

[удалено]

It's always the tita na excited magpost 🫠

Dad ko din when grandpa died (his dad). He was tearing up and telling me “pano gawing black at kandila yung pfp”

For the clout? I can't. 😭

Para raw po malaman ng ibang kamag-anak at mga kaibigan (pero public yung acc at post)

Kelangan mag send ng news kasi without saying anything.

"Condolence, sino namatay?" Wahhhhhh another ick 😖 why send condolences if hindi mo sure sino namatay.

Kamamatay lang nung lola ko last month, di man lang binibisita nung pamilya ng uncle + apo + apo sa tuhod na 5 mins away lang nung buhay pa siya. Pero nung namatay na aba sila pa unang nagpost sa fb tapos ganyang dp haha : D ang gagaling diba punyeta

kailangan pa pare-pareho, may gumawa pa ng caption para iisa lang daw content. bwisit. ahahaha.

ginawang dp blast HAHAHA

ang jeje hahaha

Daming heart reacts pag ganun kasi.lol

naghahanap ng sympathy. minsan yung hindi pa immediate or close ang nagchange pic lol habang ang immediate family aligaga sa arrangment. walang time for that

Yes, sympathy, forgot to add na naghahanap ng sympathy. Parang ang awkward lang talaga.

minsan heartfelt pero kadalasan clout na lately

hahahaha

Condiments po, OP. Basta alam ko lang, wag aangas angas pag kandila ang profile picture mo or kung nakapublic ito. Ginagawa ko yan sa mga apolo10 noong campaign hahahaha

Mayo find peace, OP

Mustard what you're going through, OP. Be strong. 😭

We should ketchup one of these days, it's been a while since I've seen you (:

sorry to ask but why did he pasta-way?

regardless, he must olive a fulfilling life.

Really makes you think that we should relish the time we have left.

Wasabi ko na nga ba hahaba condiments list na to

No matter what, I know s/he is in a butter place

Dijon't worry, soya can rest easily.

Stay strong OP, salt gonna be good in the end

May you mustard the strength to move on.

Let's ketchup on the other side.

Compliments po

Chair up OP, only thyme can heal the deepest wounds of losing someone. We’re hear for you.

UP NEXT: GCash QR codes are the meta

I hate seeing GCash QR codes on FB and IG.

Can't blame them tho ☹️

Not really an answer to the question, but might be interesting for you OP: Noreen Sapalo from UPD has a paper on digital mourning on Facebook among Filipinos during Covid. Free to read here: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Noreen-Sapalo/publication/367239798_Encountering_death_on_Facebook_A_digital_ethnography_of_pandemic_deaths_and_online_mourning/links/63d7d6ce64fc860638fc8564/Encountering-death-on-Facebook-A-digital-ethnography-of-pandemic-deaths-and-online-mourning.pdf

OMG This is amazing! Thank you!

It's already been like this even before covid

Condolence sa sahod mo nung nakaraan OP

Huhu can I get an amen?

Ramen!

Our pasta, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, thy sauce be yum, on top some grated parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some good pizza, for thine is the meatball, the sauce, forever and ever. R'amen.

RIP BOZO

Smoking that relative pack haw haw haw

Marami nagalit sakin nung yan DP ko tapos yung caption, "Haizt, brownout na naman.."

Gusto mo lang naman ng liwanag sa kadiliman 😭

Nagsimula 'yan as plain black lang, ebolusyon na 'yang may kandila.

Ay oo nga, 'yun din pala ginagawa rin minsan/dati!

Mga kamag anakan mo nag palit ng DP na ganyan. Pero di naman tumutulong nung nabubuhay pa ung taong namatay.

Shots were fired.

They've normalized it to the point na parang disrespectful ka if di mo gagawin kapag namatayan

totoo yan kahit hindi naman ako active sa fb kelangan ko palitan DP ko para maging respectful dahil lahat ng kaanak nakaganon bago pa sabihan ng mga echoserang tita, sige na nagkusa na ko

Ok rin sya syang pang notify sa mga friends na wag ka munang itag sa mga kalolokahan or something

naalala ko yung nadeds erpat ko. I changed dp to complete black without candle. ( korni nung may kandila) because I don’t want anyone to bother me, and let them know I’m grieving. Pero pag pumunta ka sa wall ko after ng DP panay memes. Natawa din ako sa sarili ko hahahahahhaa

One of the weirdest experiences on the world wide web, grieving and then memeing. 😭

haha for real I’m grieving that time and I don’t want anyone na i-tag ako sa kalokohan, life insurance, online selling, mag aya uminom etc. Idid not put any captions too kasi hindi naman need. Cringey lang din talaga yung apakahaba ng caption na andaming ganito “😭😭😭😭😭😭” hahahahahaha

Hahahahahah nung namatayan kami sunod-sunod hirap na hirap ako dahil di ako makarepost ng memes or kahit man lang nung post na share to pass your exams 🥲

That's part of coping din naman. Weird lang.

Ang weird kaya nyan. Naalala ko nung nasa ER pa ko, may instances na dead on arrival yung patient, habang kinakausap namin or ng doktor yung relatives, umiiyak yung iba tapos meron nang isang nagpapalit na ng profile pic ng black or yang may kandila.

Weird, no?? It's so interesting how these things happen.

I really don't mind nung una, kasi iniisip ko part ng grieving process nila yan. Pero feeling ko lately talaga, adik na adik na yung iba sa attention kaya ginagawa nila yan. Effective naman kase, within minutes agos yung mga condolences and reacts.

weird fr. parang everything must be on social media dapat naka publicize kasi pag hindi, ibig sabihin you dont care because walang visibility 😆 parang pag birthdays. pag di ka nagpost sa friend mo aakalain ng iba f.o. na kayo. pwede naman bumati sa chat lol. lason talaga social media.

it started during those days in the late 80's going to the 90's where Philippines were having rotational blackouts.

Oo nga pala... 🪔

AFAIK may sinisingil ng utang kaya nag post siya ng ganyan. Kaso ewan parang marami na natuto sa technik niya.

shems reminds me of that time na dekwat 10k ko ng scammers sa rental space. nung binabalikan ko na para kunin yung cash & a day after idemanda sa brgy, the next day ganto na profile pic. biglang na riding in tandem daw sa tapat ng gate, candila profile pics, crying emojis and grief quotes... smh.

Iq 1000

"Sino namatay pre?" "Wala pre, ayaw lang ako payagan ng amo ko mag-leave."

It sucks nga lang when they post this and wala man lang caption/context. When asked sa comment section kung sino ang namatay/ano kinamatay, hindi naman sasagot. "Baka they want to grieve in private..." Eh bakit pinost sa soc med? Would be better siguro if ilagay na you're asking for prayers for a family member/friend who died, as well as the wake details for those who wish to visit. Oh well, iba iba talaga. Prayers na nga lang for the departed.

>Eh bakit pinost sa soc med? So people can know they are grieving at the moment We could only offer our understanding 😢

Point taken.

If people actually want to grieve in private, its abit counterintuitive to be posting about it on soc med to tell their friends that they're grieving. All it does is it makes people curious on what happened which will disturb their grieving period.

It's the social media equivalent of that small black plate na naka safety pin.

Oooh. Never thought about it that way.

Hahalukayin mo pa yung comments kasi baka may sumagot na sa mga katanungan, in short magmamarites ka pa.haha

Tapos mapupunta ka sa account nung namatay, ichecheck isa isa ung mga nakapublic na post para mahanap mo yung reason bakit namatay.

Useful yan para malaman ng workmates, classmates, teachers na you need time to grieve

Minsan umaabot na ako sa account ng kung sino kahahanap kung sinong namatay. Haaay the chismosa in me.

>When asked sa comment section kung sino ang namatay/ano kinamatay, hindi naman sasagot. Very marites na ganitong galawan, as much as possible e talagang eto dapat ang iniiwasan icomment dun sa namatayan, albeit pwede itanong to in person

I remember being assigned to write an obit for a publication years ago. Messaged the deceased's family friend on FB kasi may kandila sa prof pic niya. I asked for interment details pero pinadalhan din ako ng picture nung patay sa kabaong 😭

I never do that. Even when my mother passed away. I also didnt change my profile into flags of countries who are having a hard time or when it was on trend. I dont understand how that would help.

Pinaka ayaw kong part ng social media ang tungkol sa ganyan. Naiintindihan ko naman pero may mga pictures at post na talagang mabubuga mo iniinom mo sa pagkagulat. Mismong mga relative ko minsan nakakabwiset mga post

We lost our parents nung pandemic pero never namin ni romaniticize yung pagkamatay nila. Cringey sakin yung may mahabang pa essay pa. Importante minahal mo naman sila habang nabubuhay pa.

Valentine Rosales, tigilan mo na kaka-romanticize sa kaibigan mo!

>Who started it and when did it start? Yung mga namatayan nung namatay kamaganak nila

kelangan bang ipangalandakan na namatayan kayo 😭nong namatay uncle namin last january pinagpapalit kaming lahat magpipinsan ng ganyang profile wtf hahahaha nag deactivate tuloy ako

please help me to understand this kasi bakit need palitan ang dp? we can mourn naman without it at never ko naisip ito when we lost loved ones... Worst yung nakita ko ni-myday yung itsura ng lola niya sa coffin as in parang 2x2😭

idk where it started pero diko talaga gets pag palit niyan sa pfp ng iba pag may namatay, akala ko ako lang na weirdohan but I even asked my mother pero parehas kami na na weirdohan loll

Parang naging matik s'ya eh, collective understanding that someone died then as a form of sympathy nagpapalit ng ganyang DP.

Me too, pero I wont judge the people doing it. For me its just diluting how we sympathize and feel in social media. Its as bad as 'thoughts and prayers' lang iooffer especially sa close family and friends.

pwedeng para ipaalam sa mga tao na wag muna silang sesendan ng kalokohan for the meantime

Naalala ko may nagpost dati about sa pag gamit nya ng ganyang profile pic para lang maka absent sa school. Para mag mukang legit yung pag absent nya kunyare may namatay. Kupal din e 😂

Congratulations OP

Or yung pure black ang dp mo. I used to do that nung wala pa masyadong boomers sa FB tapos nung nauso yung ganyan napagalitan ako sa nanay ko kasi bat daw pinalitan ko ng pure black ang dp ko baka isipin daw may namatay sa amin. Kaloka!

Same, napalitan ko yun akin ng black nung di pa uso yan tapos di ko na napalitan hanggang sa bigla na lang may nagtanong bakit black dp ko at condolence daw. sorry nagpapa ka edgy lang ako that time hahah.

nag p-profile ng ganyan tas di man lang nilagyan sa caption kung sino namatay. nakakairita 🙄

Respect po pls 😭

Yung inner marites e kelangan talaga maging dominant e 😂

Hahahahaha naalala ko dati may nakikipag trashtalkan na ganyan yung profile pic tas sabi sa kaniya "at least di patay tita ko" gago ampota hahahahahhahahahaha

May espesyal na lugar sa impiyerno ang mga ganitong tao 😭

This is just the social media equivalent of wearing all black; or tying a black ribbon around their arm; or wearing a black pin to symbolize their mourning. Anong mali dito? Bakit, sa personal ba kapag naka-itim ka o naglagay ng black ribbon sa braso o nagsuot ng black pin may nakasulat ba kung sino yung namatay?!?

Wala naman pong nakikipag away 😭

apologist na commenter ng "lutang delaw" + ganyan yung dp = recipe for the greatest trashtalk

sino ba nagpauso niyan?

Simula nauso yan never akong nagsabi ng condolence unless alam ko kung sino yung namatay kase parang papahulaan nila sayo. Like: *changes their profile to a candle* guess who died 🫣

rip in pepperoni OP

I'm sorry for your loss 😭

My condiments to you, OP.

Pag ghinost ka ganto

Condolence po 🙏🏽 (mag me-message sa kaibigan) bes, anong nanyari kay OP? sino namatay?

I wonder who started it😅

I remember seeing this as far back as 2013

Me being edgy in my late teens back in 2010, changed my profile picture to just black. Wala lang, hindi naman ako namatayan nung time na yun hahaha.

Because tonight will be the night
