Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! ✈️

An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­

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: You’ve been offered a job in a desolate location miles from civilization that pays 10x more than what you currently make. Would you move and take the job?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

A job at an (off-shore) oil rig came to mind. If that's the case, I don't think I'd readily accept. Being in a desolate location miles away from civilization isn't the deal breaker, being isolated with people I might not be okay with is the huge deal breaker.

Otherwise, other than likely losing the benefits of being able to have food and stuff delivered to my room, I'm in! Maybe I can pay extra to have a package delivered once a month, lol!

Good news: Hindi na si Hun Sen ang prime minister ng Cambodia.
Bad news: Yung papalit sa kanya yung anak niyang si Hun Manet.
Worse news: Hindi pa rin tapos ang flyover sa Molino.

Dalawa na ang dinastiya ng Cambodia: the House of Norodom and the House of Hun.

[–] yeontura 3 points 1 year ago

And only one of them has the real power.

Hindi na si Hun Sen ang prime minister ng Cambodia.

hindi na nga siya, pero the real political power is still with him

The price of rice worldwide is skyrocketing

Meanwhile, in the PH, kaya pa rin daw maging 20 pesos per kilo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Considering that the Philippines is the world's second-largest rice importer in 2022, I wouldn't be surprised if the prices do jack up in the future. Of course our Department of Agriculture secretary won't do shit about it.

It seems the eugenics guy never stopped his campaign of trolling and copypasta on the other side by posting around 60-100 comments/day. He's playing nice and eloquent, pero lumalabas ang mga authoritarian tendencies niya.

[–] decadentrebel 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dayum. Parang kailan lang pumapalo sa 40-50k yung 64gb. Fin scalpers.

[–] cottonmon 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh shit, I just might get this even though I do not need it lol.

[–] heliosef 4 points 1 year ago

I think I bought it at around the same price back in March. Definitely a productivity killer!

This + Hades are some of my better purchases in terms of entertainment. Spent around 400 hours of playing time on that game alone.

NEKOPARA - Catboys Paradiseat heck yes! Tapos libre pa sa steam at hind naman masyadong mahaba na otome game!

Babalik daw sila mag dive kasi ang gwapo ni coach. Wow, ganun pala siya ka-gwapo? Chz πŸ˜† Iba talaga ang perks kapag may itsura 'no. Well, he's married plus wife is super nice too. I think he's a good coach, pretty good at assessing ang mga students niya.

Do I want to push myself more? Of course, let's go. Did I push and pressure myself too much at a certain point? Yeah, break muna daw and chill πŸ˜…

I think I am slowly being surrounded by more physically fit (aka hot) people to the point na napapansin ko na. Tapos heto ako, pa cute-cute lang. Medyo nababawasan na ang pag stomach in ko sa pics ganon hahahaha

Anyway, my model diver for now is probably coach. Kung kaya ko abutin ang kaya niya ma-amaze na ako sa sarili ko. I'd say my pool training & workouts in the city have been very effective considering my progress in the ocean.

Masaya na ako ☺️ now I just gotta keep it up and be more creative para fun lol.

I can tell her my troubles

She makes them all seem right

I can make up excuses

Not to hold her at night

We can talk of tomorrow

I'll tell her things that I wanna do

But girl

How can I tell her about you?

Philbert Dy's review on Rookie

and when the movie is just about these girls spending time with other, it unleashes a full salvo of romcom sweetness that rivals anything Star Cinema has put together in the last twenty years.

Rookie rookie, my super rookie rookie rookie

So, shoujo-ai without it being explicitly shoujo-ai?

Sam Lee just understands the rhythm of romance, and will let characters sit quietly with all the tension in the air between them, leaving a pause so that audiences can scream their heart out over how much they want these two to kiss already.

I'm willing to bet there's already a yuri/shoujo-ai fanfic of it out there. Perhaps even a doujin.
