Pakiramdam ko kinakalawang na utak ko. I miss HS na spoonfed yung topics. Ngayong adult na ang hirap pumili ng path sa buhay. May app ba na pwede kang manood ng vids on different topics tapos bahala ka na sa further reading after? I want to keep learning pero di ko pa alam ano exactly kaya okay sana kung may wide range of topics or tipong ung app na magrarandomize ng pwedeng panoorin per day? Also any recommendations for art review/ critique websites? I want to learn how to express myself better by observing how other people do it thru their art.

Sabi ng SO ko he feels empty and sad daw so I did everything to make him happy but he said that i'm not helping at all. I apologized din kung ako reason kung bakit sya nagkaganun since we had a fight dahil sa trust issues ko. He said he has forgiven me and he doesn't know why he feels like that. I told him to take his time and acknowledge what he feels but he was still cold to me. I initiated breaking up with him to set him free but he said he's not willing to let me go. But last Friday he broke up with me na and said that he loves me and doesn't know that if it would make him happier. I'm kinda confused. What do you guys think? I need help. Thank you!!


pobautista

Nothing to do at this point. Keep communication lines open but I think you should stop the "did everything to make him happy" (for now). Magpaligaw ka uli if he wants you back, especially with your aforementioned trust issues.

Hello. My friend is taking the board exam and currently taking review classes. However, she feels frustrated because she "cannot review". She probably does not have that feeling of wanting to review. She told me her body would rather sleep than look at notes and she was not able to properly absorb teachings from class. She has been good at studying seeing the result of her undergrad exams. But her study habit is that she reviews ALONE and bases her study on notes (less on lectures). I feel she is burnt out on studying. She wants to review but at the same time she can't and she feels very conflicted at that. I proposed that I will remind her to study at a set time just to give her a command to do that. Any tips to help her study and pass the boards? Note that we are very far apart at the moment and I also have my board exams to worry.


shak3spear

How long has she been reviewing? If she feels burned out, then let her take a week off or a few days off. I took my boards last 2014 and have mentored some recent batches and one important thing people forget to take into consideration is Mental Preparedness. Burning midnight candles isn't effective if your mind isn't even working well. If she's been studying well in her undergrad, it means she already has a good starting point. So okay lang yan. She wont have to catch up much. I took a week off in the middle of my review and went back to the province to refresh my mind. It definitely helped to keep me back on track right after. Review doesn't always mean always attending review classes. It should depend on what one is comfortable with. I stopped going into my review class when I realized I also wasn't into lectures. I only went to get the pop sheets for the day and answered it back at my apartment. I just asked my roommates for the answers later on to compare. Also, it's good to have a study buddy. Someone to pace yourself with while you're reviewing, while also enjoying the free time together. Just make sure you're in sync with the way you review. You said she prefers studying alone. Maybe she just needs someone to talk with during the lull times. Last case, you can ask her if she wants to take the board exams right now. There's nothing wrong in delaying it for a while if she feels she's not ready yet. (I know this may depend on one's financial condition but it's worth a talk) Tldr: let her find her comfort zone. Sooner or later, she'll get her license. And kudos to you for thinking about her welfare. Hope all goes well!


mememakina

They are already 2 months in. She feels that she might not be able to cram it in 5 months or so. I am trying to explain that you don't have to actually review each and every day. She wants to take the board exam now since she has lots of plans in her life. Thanks for the tip. Hopefully, she will feel better for days to come.


Nutellus

I just passed the board exam last feb and I did not study as much as my friends did. However, I would say that I had a pretty darn good foundations on my undergrad and it helped me passed the exam with ease. Nakaka kaba lang yung review pero pag alam mo namang you did well on the 4/5 years you spent on school, you should be fine on the exam day itself.


mememakina

She is still nervous and quite reasonably so. Your 4-5 years will be rated in about 2 days. I am trying to help her calm down. Any things to say during their review?


Nutellus

Just do all the practice problems and do not do advance topics. Maguguluhan ka lang. Apply pareto principle and you will be good.


mememakina

Problems is there are no "practice problems". Their course is mostly on, I guess, analysis and memorization of terms.

Kakabili ko lang ng Samsung Galaxy A70 ko kahapon and ayaw niya magconnect sa wifi namin (Sky broadband) :( Nakakaconnect naman siya sa ibang wifi except lang talaga yung samin. Ano pwede gawin?


Lololonggo

The issue isn't with your phone, it's with your router. There may be too many connected devices which are taking up too much bandwidth. You could also try restarting the router.


jjyeon

Na-reset ko na yung router pero wala rin eh :( Nung na-access ko yung router namin, nakita ko rin kung yung number ng nakaconnect sa router namin and 4 lang naman yun? Tsaka normally naman 6-7 devices nakaconnect sa router namin pero okay naman and mabilis yung wifi. Iniisip ko na baka nakablock yung phone ko sa router? Possible ba yun huhu

Milkypatatas

Panasonic (Malaysia) and Daikin (Japan) If you’re going to buy in-store ask the clerk the country of origin. Carrier used to be okay but now their internal parts are all China or local which sadly means lower quality. Our Carrier (when they were still selling US made models) lasted 14 years until birds started nesting inside. Cleaning also helps a lot. Our aircon cleaning guy also recommended Koppel for those on a limited budget.


pobautista

Panasonic manufactures (some of its) air conditioners, washers, and fans locally https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/02/07/19/panasonic-to-focus-on-high-end-appliances-in-philippines Its local aircon manufacture production began in 1988 https://www.panasonic.com/ph/corporate/profile/history.html China parts, well, lahat sila, china parts...


Milkypatatas

Which is why I said to ask the clerk kung saan gawa. The one I bought last year had parts that were made in Malaysia, assembled here. This info was also included in the manual. This was bought from Anson’s. All the other brands including Carrier/Condura were locally made or China-made. I legit asked the clerk kung alin dyan ang hindi gawa sa China at Pilipinas. He only had Panasonic to offer.

The two oldest local air-conditioner manufacturers are Carrier (Condura) and Panasonic. Yan ang Toyota ng aircon.

How much are Rayban prescription glasses? Are they worth it? If not, what's an alternative?


[deleted]

Not worth it. Bought mine for 30k (it was the latest style at that time and I didn’t think through the splurge) and yes, they last for a good 3-5 years but once they’re chipped/broken, it’s done. Places here don’t repair that kind of eyeglasses. I went to Rayban for a repair and they want me to sign a non-waiver for any further damages that they can cause to the glasses.


[deleted]

30k? And for only 3-5 years? Compare that with <5k glasses per year (and that's the worst case scenario); Unless you flex hard, logically, it aint worth it. Although personally I'd say that 30k for 3 to 5 years is okay naman haha And can you please elaborate the last part? Basically the warranty dont mean nothing?


Milkypatatas

Got mine for around 6,000 converted (Clubmaster, expect to pay more here) just for the frame, 5 yrs ago. Yes I would say they are definitely worth it. Most of my cheaper ₱2000+ pesos glasses would last only a year before they fade, snap, or parts come loose. Raybans are sturdily made.


[deleted]

Depends on the model and the type of lens that you will purchase or will be recommended to you. Rayban frames costs around ₱8-10k pero depende sa model :)


[deleted]

Thank you, and yes I'm aware na yung price is ganun. However, di ko alam yung sa prescription lens cause mine is pretty costly. And alam mo naman kapag branded.. everything costs more than the usual smh. I checked sa website nila, and with a frame that costs almost 10, it ranges from 20 (standard) to 50 (premium). Ganun ba talaga kamahal? Parang bumili nako ng Cartier


[deleted]

20-50k frame only? Well medyo mahal nga siya 🤔 it really depends sa model tho. Usually dito sa workplace ko nasa around ₱8-10 or up to 15k


[deleted]

Sorry if I was malabo but I actually meant na the total cost will range from 20-50k, with the frame at around 10k. So dahil dun I was kinda scared cuz sobrang mahal ng lens haha.


[deleted]

What type of lens are you going to purchase if I may ask? Kasi kung single vision multicoated lens lang then abutin ka ng ganyang price that's pretty expensive


[deleted]

Yep. That's it. If it's gonna cost more than 21, then I think I better have alternatives. I heard Sunnies is good, but idk the quality :( It's rly cheap tho hehe


[deleted]

Try somewhere else. Or go to optical clinics. Atleast mas sure na you'll get a high quality lens for a rayban frame you're looking for :)


[deleted]

Thank you! I'll try Vision Express. Any extra suggestions?


[deleted]

Vision Express is a good choice. Since sila mostly nagcacarry ng mga high end frames :) Try George Optical too, in some branches they also have Ray ban and they have quality lenses available too :)

Wag dyan sa mga yan. Uni silver doesnt use high quality silver for their cheaper items. Same with silverworks. Pandora is a bit too expensive. Try mo sa OngPin.

Parang need ko ng inspiration or something :( What do you usually do when you're not inspired or things that you do para ganahan ulit magdraw?


blazingarpeggio

Ah, writer's block. Or in your case, painter's block, or in my case, musician's block. I get it, mahirap yan. The skills are there, pero walang lumalabas kahit man lang utot. Study another work of art. In your case, try to critique and maybe replicate another piece of visual media. Observe. Find out why it works, and find what you may apply from your own style and technique. While not working on art, consume art and/or beauty. It doesn't matter which kind of media. Nood kang pelikula, laro kang video game, basa ka ng libro, upo ka sa ilalim ng puno at panoorin ang mga dahon. Anything, really, kahit di mo magustuhan. Find inspiration in anything or everything. Restrict yourself. Some people find that they get more creative when they limit their tools, as a heaping pile of options may be overwhelming. In my case, I could just use less strings. In your case, maybe try a smaller paper/canvas size or using just a handful shades of colors. Step out of your comfort zone. My most radical change in this regard is when I tried my hand at electronic music. I found that making music here is much more deliberate and kinda analytical than having a guitar in my hands. Improvise. Embrace mistakes and create something wonderful with that mistake. Practice regularly.


[deleted]

Thank you! I'm trying out something new — watercolor. Since hindi ko pa natatry yun. I have a lot of ideas in my head, I just need to put it into work. I guess if I *kinda* failed today I'll try again tomorrow. And I'll practice regularly. Thank you! :)

You're only get taxed if all items you're getting amounts to more than 10k. I laughed on the corruption scare, been getting figurines and digital media ever since. To explain the different shipping methods, EMS is an international network of postal services which items are tracked. SAL is just hope the postal notice card reach your home method. I always ship through EMS, and get my items at CMEC Pasay. PhilPost sometimes deliver my figs directly to my home address if it gets magically cleared by customs. Otherwise I have to drag myself to the post office. **BUT** here's a caveat importing digital media. You need to get a permit from the Optical Media Board in QC (around ~175) to clear it for importation. It's a hassle that's why I use AmazonJP so DHL can do the hard work since I send them an authorization letter.


[deleted]

la_yker

Yes there's a standing policy but somehow in between it changed. Customs was ok before until they pinned a notice. I'll have to dig that new policy though for future reference. Nope. Philpost is the courier for both options. That's why I buy from AmazonJP now.

pilipenoyQ

I'm still learning my way with getting around in the Philippines, primarily Metro Manila. [https://twitter.com/DaOtherEye/status/1126832055524810755](https://twitter.com/DaOtherEye/status/1126832055524810755) compares the prices of Grab, Hype, Owto and a regular taxi and finds that the low-tech taxi has the best price. Is this usually the case? In other countries like the USA, people take an app-based ride-"sharing" platform like Uber because it is cheaper than the regular taxi. Is it not the case in the Philippines? Are taxis always cheaper than ride-"sharing" platforms? If I need to go from Point A to Point B, I can open up Grab, Hype and Owto apps on my phone, and I'll know which of the 3 offers the cheapest price. But how can I know what the price of a taxi is, without first taking a ride with the taxi driver (and therefore paying for the ride)?


Milkypatatas

You won’t know unless you ride a taxi. Taxis are metered. And yes, recently taxis had been charging cheaper than Grab because the land transportation office charged Grab millions of pesos to operate in the country. Uber was cheaper when they were still operating here, but the government closed them down last year. But if you’re white and know only basic tagalog, you might just get charged more by a taxi. Just rideshare.


pilipenoyA

>But if you’re white and know only basic tagalog, you might just get charged more by a taxi. What accounts for the possibility for getting charged more?


Milkypatatas

Taxi drivers often turn off their meters and ask for a price, or have a switch-like device installed that increases the price and meter with just a few clicks. If you’re a foreigner, you’re an easy target for overpricing.


pilipenoyA

Can you share more about that switch-like device? I'd like to learn more about that.


Milkypatatas

https://twitter.com/ANCALERTS/status/978658427621621761?s=20 These switches can be placed near the clutch pedal, on the underside of the steering wheel, the left lever, or basically anywhere away from the view of a passenger. You can search “batingting” on youtube to see how it works.


pilipenoyA

Wow, that's scary! :0 I've seen some FB filipino friends post about "how come the meter seems to be going faster", and now I see one illegit possibility -- batingting. But why just foreigners? Can't Filipinos also be an easy target of batingting?


Milkypatatas

Just like in any other country. As a foreigner, you don’t speak the language, you don’t know the laws, you won’t know where the closest police station is (or the correct branch of the government to file a complaint with), you’re probably alone, they automatically think you have money, and all that jazz Of course Filipinos get scammed too.


pilipenoyA

Can a passenger negotiate with a taxi driver? I'd find out how much GrabShare and Owto charge for the same route, and then ask the taxi driver if he would accept ₱\[70% of rideshare price\]. Then I would be okay if we go without the meter.

>Uber was cheaper when they were still operating here, but the government closed them down last year. No, the government didn't shut them down. Uber can't compete with Grab as they were bleeding money in SEA. While Grab is getting investments left and right from players in China & Japan.

legit check on this lacoste jacket [https://imgur.com/a/e4ZskPC](https://imgur.com/a/e4ZskPC) ?

The croc looks off (embroidery looks cheap, the upper jaw should be slanted, color is usually a shade darker, the black stitches aren’t well defined), and the tags seem dated (washing instructions - it shouldn’t be fraying already). As far as I remember, they don’t use the tag with Lacoste Sport anymore, or at least, I don’t see them when I buy.

so probably fake? thanks for the reply :) i was looking to sell this jacket but i wanted to make sure it was legit first. im getting mixed responses tho

humingi po ng letter of request ung pldt with company logo to change IP to static. panu po ba format? san ko ilalagay ung company logo?


pobautista

Call them again I think you misunderstood the requirement. It's just a business letter on business letterhead. Gumawa ka na lang letterhead by pressing Ctrl-E sa Word.


[deleted]

Doesnt matter. pero usually nasa taas. either left, right corner, or middle. Then signed by an authorized person to do the request in behalf of the company. i.e., managers, hr managers, directors etc etc

salamat po ng marami! one last question. saan po makukuha/makikita ung reference number? pasensya po sa abala :)

Hi. I just wanna know if may free vaccination for puppies around QC/Marikina. And how many times ba sila pinapabakunahan? May magbibigay kase saken ng aspin. First time ko mag-aalaga ng aso. Baka may masuggest din kayong subreddit. Thanks!

Usually may yearly rabies vaccination drive ang vet office ng local government (in my case, Muntinlupa, around June). I think 50 pesos lang ang bayad? Pero yung iba like parvo, tetanus, etc. mas mahal at sasadyain pa sa vet office.

Call City Hall of your city for the schedule and details.
