Mabuhay at maligayang pag-alis sa Lemmy! โœˆ๏ธ


An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


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.

Tonight's Ask PHLemmy: How did you "waste" your 20s? (Serious)

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I currently am wasting it right now.

[โ€“] asunaspersonalasst 4 points 1 year ago

Never know how to have a life, tas di din marunong magmahal. ๐Ÿ˜‘

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I don't remember, and I suspect that I don't want to.

Let's just say that even if I die right now, I won't be having regrets. I may not have lived the best life, but I've had my fun.

Being too much of a "good boy"

Naaya ko si previous supervisor mag dive together ๐Ÿค  woohoo kung sino-sino nadadawit ko sa mga gusto kong gawin sa buhay ~~

Nung kami daw nag-uusap parang conference daw ang vibe lol. It seems like my alcohol infused brain performs satisfactorily sa mga ganyan, wag lang sobrang wasak.

It really is nice to have hobbies. It's really a way to connect to people kahit quiet quiet ka lang.

Also, marunong na ako kumain ng chicken feet. My coworkers just taught me. Grabe, ngayon ko lang na-appreciate ang chicken feet, I didn't really get it back then.

I'm one of those people who grew up eating chicken feet in "addidas" form. Mejo late na nung nadiscover ko yung "sweet-and-sour" na mala-gelatin ang sabaw na form nya, at sobrang ganda syang pangpulutan. Wag nga lang maarte masyad kasi kakamayin at kakamayin mo siya. I've somehow come up with a method to eat them without getting my hands dirty, tho it takes a bit of hand and mouth dexterity.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

masarap naman yung adidas, nag crave ako bigla

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nagkacravings din ako nung nag-reply ako kanina, lol!

Actually, namiss ko yung addidas, helmet, betamax, isaw baboy, isaw manok na pampulutan. No, scratch that, kahit pang-ulam solb na!

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

helmet lang talaga at betamax ang hindi ko mahiligan, pero the rest, yum yum yum

[โ€“] asunaspersonalasst 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Baka di lang marunong mag halbos ng betamax yung nabilhan mo noon. Also I like them betamax a bit burnt.

Helmet lang talaga dami kong isyu. Parang mas marami pa yung buto kesa sa laman. And the idea of eating the chicken brain. ._.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Basta hindi lang matinik yung buto, keri lang ako kahit na mabuto ang helmet. And I actually like the idea of eating the chicken brain. Mejo weird nga lang kung iisipin mo. I also don't even think about what I'm eating when I'm eating balut, soโ€ฆ. ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's understandable. Mahirap kainin ang helmet, mahirap lutuin ang betamax (in the sense that it quickly gets that off taste if isn't fresh or prepared properly).

There was a time in my life though where our family survived on betamax as it's the cheapest item in the menu. Basta may matinong sauce, okay nang pang-ulam! On the other hand, rare lang din akong kumain ng helmet since makalat syang kainin. You either have to make sure that the little bones are chewed properly, or spit them out. I like the skin and the soft parts inside of it though. I'm also the kind of weirdo who'd dig deep inside fish heads for any available meat or soft parts, so I fully accept that helmet is probably not for everyone (and neither does fish heads).

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Masarap yung fish heads, mas mahirap yung helmet, for me at least

[โ€“] monknonoke 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ano yung addidas form ๐Ÿ˜ญ

I think yung kinain ko ay mala-gelatin, kaya pala parang namumuo siya. Normal pala yun. It's a whole new world

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ayan yung adidas: skewered chicken feet on a grill

tapos yung mala-gelatin na sinabi ko is the one that looked like this: sweet and spicy chicken feet

The way my mom cooks the latter is a sweet-and-sour adobo style but it's also available in some Chinese restaurants. I heard it being touted as being good for the skin due to its collagen content (kaya rin mala-gelatin siya) too.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

anong klaseng chicken feet yung natry mo? gusto ko silang lahat: yung medyo maalat na may kasamang black beans, yung chinese style na steamed, yung inasal, at yung adobo.

yung alcohol-infused brain ko ay may naachieve din last night: got the courage to be frank to someone ive had my eyes on, only to find out i was barking up the wrong tree. hahahaha

[โ€“] monknonoke 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adobong chicken feet! Masarap, naparami ako ng kain hahaha.

Hindi naman kayo nag-away? ๐Ÿ˜†

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

okay yang adobo flavor as intro to chicken feet, kasi familiar na ang lasa. and usually tanggal lansa talaga. sana matry mo rin yung iba, it is fun to experience their wide diversity. lahat , very good pulutan.

hindi naman. she was so kind about it, it turned out funny rather than awkward. all is not lost though, i think i just gained a friend.

ATM lang talaga ang papel ko sa pamilya. Talagang tingin nila tumatae lang ako ng pera.

I read somewhere that most of the Game of Thrones stars had shitty acting projects after the show wrapped up while the midcarders had superior ones. I didn't notice it at first but it's true. Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner, Maisie Williams, had some disappointing appearances since the show while guys like Pedro Pascal really broke out and to some extent Richard Madden.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Nah, those actors are having their time. They're probably made millions after the show wrapped up, di pa kasali dito royalties.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe going home to my province will clear my head a bit after some tumultuous thoughts and experiences recently. I certainly hope so.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

From experience, it helps. Lalo na dahil it helps you distract yourself: new environment, new challenges, less time to dwell on the past, or sth. Best of luck!

Hi/Jack is the stupidest TV series I've seen this year. Such a shame because I love Idris Elba and Neil Maskell.

Wala ako makita na community so far sa Lemmy where I could compare notes with others on how dumb it is, so dito na lang. Haha.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think some pinoys do not give a shit/fuck about abstract political concepts, ideals, ideologies like "human rights" "communism" "democracy". They only want to get immediate tangible stuff such as food/money. That's why they vote for strong-men like Rodrigo duterte and the like

Inspired by several reddit comments (1, 2)

[โ€“] decadentrebel 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Filipinos also tend to be easily impressed by "bardagulan" moments, particularly when the target is Marcos... to the point that they forget about the person doing the "SiCk BuRnS".

Case in point Cayetano in 2016. He didn't win, but to this day, they still continue to quote and celebrate his moments during the debates as if it wasn't a ploy to siphon votes. Then there's Guanzon. Oohh boy, did we get suckered in by her antics.

On a related note, this happened to Luke Espiritu, too. People voted for him because of his Marcos rants and duking it out with Gadon and Roque, but if you look at their post history, they don't like Leody or center-left/progressive policies at all. Ayaw nga nila sa minimum wage increase kasi pano naman daw silang mga small business owners. Espiritu is more extreme in espousing those! He's actually for same-sex marriage (read: not just civil union like what the current and previous bills want) and is clamoring for a federal government.

Human rights? Para lang yan sa mga mahinang nilalang!

I may replace my Android phone to an iPhone if Apple removes the restrictions of their third-party browsers' engines.

Using Firefox on iPad 9 back then was a terrible experience.

They're also officially adopting type C na and ditching lightning, which is good, and also a sign that they can be coerced by the EU.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

With EU, Google also can't reversed some Google Maps data, and that's really frustrating for many property owners.
