    Got the little one a Happy Meal earlier and the toy they have now are Squishmallows. Reminded me of Philemon when I saw it. 😁

    TIL that “Ped Xing” means “pedestrian crossing”. I’ve always thought it was a translation of “pedestrian lane” for Chinese people BABAHABAHAHAHAHA

      Tapos yung mga signs na ganyan, mas prominent pa sa touristy areas (like Malate Church/Baywalk, Luneta, etc) 😂

    Lads and Lasses, the Shamisen, a Japanese three-stringed instrument derived from the Chinese Sanxian. A.K.A. the boss music maker.

    This instrument is SCIENTIFICALLY* guaranteed to make any activity (getting on a crowded Jeep/Bus/Train/Elevator) turn into an epic boss fight/one on one situation.

    Hell, even this Geisha looks bad-ass, and that’s not even a .GIF.

    Appropriate BGM .

    *Eh, not quite scientific.

    Napanood ko na Barbie from last weekend because my partner wants to watch it. I had low expectations going in the cinema, I came out impressed.

    Monday na naman, may typhoon na baka magparamdam na any moment, pinapapasok pa din kami. Lagi na lang ba ganito? I envy other companies who have adapted the WFH-On site hybrid style.

      I thought it was a joke when I saw some posts about it on Mastodon. Looks like Elon’s having a manic episode.

        If eventually babaguhin ng mga tao yung “follow us on twirrer” nila, sana magdagdag na sila ng links sa accounts nila sa Fediverse.

      Kakabasa ko lang kanina nito. Buti na lang umalis na ako sa Twitter, haha. Ma-backup na nga tweets ko sakaling Elon falls off his rocker completely.

    Quick insight pls: Partner has been searching my childhood friend’s FB account pagtulog ako or busy. Not just a one time thing (total 7 days).

    One time hindi kasi ako makatulog (insomnia attack) e tamad na ako maglaro kaya ginamit ko lang phone niya. Random lang nun plus ang hirap talaga matulog. Napansin ko lang na laging nasa recent search yung FB ng childhood friend ko. Curious me- nag-investigate ako (may tiwala naman ako e tsaka alam ko may jowa (we’re not that close now) but I just want to know why). Ayun nakita ko ilang beses niya pala siya sinesearch. Hinayaan ko lang yun para less stress pero kanina ang lakas ng kutob ko to borrow his phone so I did. I just saw na last search niya was last night 11:59pm (nakikita recent searches sa settings).

    Do you think there is something happening? Kakakita ko lang yun kanina as in kaya mixed emotions na ako. I want to cry pero taena what’s happening hahaha :((

    For reference, nasa iisang bahay lang kami at iisang kama na hinihigaan :>

      Probably he/she misses that friend. Mangangamba ka na lang siguro kung hindi na siya magpapahiram ng phone sa iyo.

    Ang daming magagaling na Japanese artist (manga at illustrations) at mga pose reference sa twitter pero nakakalungkot na pumapangit ang quality ng twitter.

      Flat Earth. I’m astonished how many people close to me still believes that the Earth is flat and that we are prohibited from falling off by an ice wall at the edges.

      Anyway, I’ve been through a conspiracy theorist phase myself (cringe, I know) so I can’t really say I’m better than them.

        The conspiracy loses its power more and more, especially with folks like Dr Farrah accusing “big pharma” of exploiting customers for profit while she aggressively attacks debunkers of her mineral and herbal medicines

      Sindikato raw yung mga namamalimos sa jeep.

      Kakatiting lang kita sa “raket” na yan to be a viable business model. And you’ll split it with several other people pa? If yung mga sobre nila na may print ang ebidensya mo, that’s actually charity by some printing presses. Naaawa sila and it’s the least they could do for them.

      Kung ayaw mo kasi magbigay (na iligal naman to begin with) then just don’t give. Dami mo pa satsat and justification e.
