Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What's something that you were afraid of trying, but once you tried you were completely sold on it?

[–] superproxy2k19 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Asking questions. Ewan, lagi kasi akong nagooverthink dati on reaching out pag may tanong ako. Feeling ko kasi dati mabobobohan sa akin yung pagtatanungan ko, na dapat alam ko na yung sagot sa itatanong ko. Recently ko lang din naovercome 'to, but ngayon, it comes naturally. Gusto ko lang matuto, and maybe yung pagtatanungan ko will pick-up something from it, too. Kung kailangan ko pang tawagan para lang maiexplain maige yung tanong ko, idemo ganun etc, I'll do it.

Also Salted Caramel flavor hehe

You say salted caramel flavor, and I counter with almond flavor

Actually putting in effort to connect with people.

I used to be extremely shy, and this manifested in me not contributing much to conversations and sometimes looking a little bit standoffish in my body language.

I still am very shy, but I've since learned to work past the initial discomfort of shyness and be active in conversations, or at least make an effort to show other people that I am interested in what they want to say.

I've made a lot of friends I wouldn't have had I not worked on this part of myself. I only regret not trying earlier.

I'm not sure if this answer is in the spirit of the question, but that's the first thing that came to mind.

how the heck did Rebisco get away with "Ang Sarap ng Filling Mo" for years

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

It's catchy, that's why, and the innuendo is not immediately obvious, unless of course, you have that "mind"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

For those who want to join our Lemmy Baguio community, we are at [email protected]. I know it's devoid of life now so I might actually need help in getting activity started there. Please delete this comment if this is not allowed 😅.

[–] decadentrebel 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Already added it to the sidebar last week. Hope that helps even a little bit.

@[email protected] 's old story about DZRH on Reddit was hilarious:

“Stand-By Announcers” do just that—stand by and wait for a technical problem to happen and fill in the gap. If all goes well, all he does is give the opening or closing for pre-recorded programs. But that doesn’t exempt them from disasters. Take for example one who was assigned to stand-by while a pre-taped religious program was being replayed. It was running overtime and it had to be cut while the American pastor was in the midst of preaching emphatically “But Jesus said not a word. Then the devil said…” “This is MBC the Manila Broadcasting Company, DZRH, Manila.” What made it more hilarious was that the announcer’s voice sounded like the pastor’s.

From: "IT'S NOW SEMEN DIRTY IN THE EVENING...(TOOT!)” by Ernie Zárate (RIP) via Memories of Old Manila FB group

A man and woman on discussing the font to be used for an invitation:

Man: Smth smth about font being too cursive, try a simpler straighter font for more readability.

Woman: Straighter? Baket? Di din naman tuwid ung [REDACTED] mo a.

Dayum that was a good clapback and got a good laugh out of that.

Magandang umaga mga Phlemmings!

I finally was set free from an emotionally abusive relationship. She broke up with me and I finally had the courage to not chase after her.

But she's visibly upset. And I'm afraid of what she'll do to herself. But at the same time, I wanna start looking after myself and start my healing. But I feel guilty for letting her be. While here I am reconnecting with my friends.

What do I do?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

better to check with your close friends, maganda rin may update sila about you and how you are feeling

While we're on the subject of logos, Please vote on which logo will be the next winner of 3 million pesos.

In the true spirit of ~~laziness~~ , ~~finger pointing~~ creativity that certain government agencies are known for, please note that ~~some~~ most visual elements are blatantly copied from here.

If any controversy is noted in the above images, automatic response to all controversy is:

Eh kasi this is a "mood ~~video~~ board with the intention of exciting super mega duper internal stakeholders with ~~lots of money~~"

Mahirap pala maging self-aware sa mga benefits na nakukuha natin dahil sa maling sistema, lalo na kung iniisip natin na deserve natin ang nakukuha, lalo na di pumapasok sa isip natin na deserve din ng iba, kahit yung mga taong ayaw natin. #blessed

Ex-INC community created!

Bahala na kayo ipromote. Fingers crossed that they come over, lol. Can assign mods accordingly once they comment on the Open Discussion thread.

It feels good when your mailbox looks like this.

Padaan lang po last - hope to hear from you all tomorrow and the next days. Be well, Good night dearest strangers. 👍

Today's one of those days that I wish I'll still wake up tomorrow. Di naman dahil lang may mga naiwan akong pending sa bahay at work (hehe, pero part na din yun hahaha), but just looking forward for some more chances to do the things deep down I've been holding back to do, you know? That some next day in the future, pagbibigyan ko na yung sarili kong maging maligayang tunay.

Nag-update pala si lemmy.world an hour ago. It fixes the infamous login issue daw.

Edit for those who still have issues logging in:

  • When using a browser: clear cookies and cache
  • When using an app: remove your lemmy.world account and add it again.

I'm glad they didn't adopt the grey border that lemm.ee now has, lol.

Edit: Spoke too soon. The grey borders are here! 😒

May naglagay ng gawgaw sa sarsa (the plot thickens)! 😂

This thread linked here earlier has disappeared. A screenshot of a deleted post

Well, maybe it has devolved into shit.

Nagloloko na naman ang lemmy.world sa PC. I tried to sign in, but it keeps on showing the "log in" and "sign up" pages sometimes or my account name on some pages. Same with incognito mode.

[–] asunaspersonalasst 5 points 1 year ago

Di na naman makapag kumento sa platform na to ng maayos, pati logon wonky na naman din =.=

It's unfortunate that lemmy.world continues to experience various issues in the past week. But the up side of it is that all the other instances could benefit from the fixes.

On a related note, I've been using Sync and old.reddit for so long now that I didn't realize how different new.reddit is from before they started implementing the new UI. It's using the same topics paradigm (ala hashtags) that makes the official app a mess to use. I've only used it for some mod actions that were not available at old.reddit.

PAGCOR celebrates 40 years with new logo

ROTFLMAO

Looks like a cross between Cinemalaya and Petron.

Please tell me they didn't spend a fortune on this, because if they did, parang lugi ata sila. First the Love the philippines then this.

If you have a non-inverter aircon po that you really are considering changing (if it ever broke down), do it now. Sobrang laki po ng price difference ng electric bill after we used inverter aircons. Make sure you choose the right HP of the aircon to your room. It will work wonders talagaaaaaaaa

As in, around 3-5k po yung na-less sa electric bill namin, and that's even after using the aircon unit more.

I stumbled on eurodance and some house music on YouTube, and I re-discovered this again. Lol

Fun fact: This was not produced by Filipinos, and they were infamous with the songs "Lick It" and "Short Dick Man."
