      my uncle didnt have a child then and treated me like his son, he would make mini parachutes with black trashbags and attached it to a small metal thing that acted as the person. Then iaangkas nya ako sa single nyang motor and go to a highpoint in our barangay and throw it then watch it deploy and fall. (sorry for littering)

      thinking about it, he did a lot of similar things for me, took me fishing, made me kites, created old school fire crackers, played video games with NES.
      (My father was working in manila most of the time kaya mas kasama ko uncle ko) I love my Tito!

      Going to our aunt’s house on Christmas Day. Magbahay-bahay para mamasko. Tapos on our way home, idadaan kami ng tatay ko sa Coke plant sa Otis, sa Manila Bay, or sa Fiesta Carnival.

      Manood ng Maynila sa GMA tuwing Sabado, alas diyes ng umaga. Love those Dutch angle shots and bizarre commercials ads exclusive for that show. Bizarre siguro kasi di ko nakita o narinig dito sa probinsiya ang mga ina-advert nila, like Tropical Hut o shipping companies, at Grade 1 ako na-discover ko tong show. lol

      My first birthday.

      I have no memories of it that I recall, but I do have pictures. Everyone was happy, problems were much simpler back then. It is what these photos trigger in me that make it a favorite childhood memory, though there are much more memories.

      Not that I long for those days again, rather I look at them with appreciation and cherish those memories in pictures, even if my one y.o. self could not retain those moments in my memory at the time.

      I used to (ignorantly) find taking pictures pointless. Looking back, I’m glad I had pictures of important moments like these. Not the SOCMED kind, but the truly special moments, the snapshots of our lives.

      Excited ako everytime mag-ggrocery kasi pwede ako maghagis lang ng kung anu ano sa shopping cart without worrying about paying for it. Ang kids-centric pa naman ng packaging ng mga snacks back then.

      Watching cable TV. We got cable TV back in 1995 and my favorite channel was CNN International. Naalala ko dati ang schedule niyan is different from CNN US unlike today and I watched their World News as well as World Report which they show news reports contributed from TV stations around the world.

      In addition to CNNI, naabutan ko pa ang Star Plus (later Star World and Fox Life, now defunct), HBO, Cartoon Network, Sky 1 (later Pinoy Blockbuster Channel and now Cinema One), SNN (now ANC), I Channel (later Lifestyle Network and now Metro Channel), Aquarium Channel, Vid-Ok (now Myx), and the now defunct Philippine Medical Television channel (PMTV). Naalala ko rin ang mga foreign channels like RTM TV1 (Malaysia), BBTV7 (Thailand), RCTI (Indonesia), BBC World (UK), Arirang (South Korea), Worldnet (now VOA TV), NHK BS1, CFI (France), at DW (Germany). I also watched the UHF stations such as SBN 21, RJTV 29, Citynet 27, and CTV 31 via cable.

        My favorite cable channel of all time was i Channel on SkyCable. Puros cartoons sa umaga with some cooking shows (Frugal Gourmet) sprinkled in between, then sa gabi mga American sitcoms and dramas. Pag Friday night naman mga violent anime (8 Man After) and adult-themed programs (Dream On), which I shouldn’t be watching. lol.

    Personal take on GOMO’s UNLI DATA:

    • Is it enough for everyday use? More than enough (comms, emails, web surfing)
    • Is it really slow? Depends on the location, as always. GOMO can maximize 5Mbps (625KB/s) efficiently.
    • Is it good for gaming? I don’t do online gaming on my phone, so I cannot tell (sorry).
    • Is it enough for nitpliks-ing? Oo naman. Naka-auto setting lang ako sa app, at wala akong na-encounter na buffering pagktapos mag-stream ng Lawrence of Arabia (3hrs), Wild Things (1h48m), at Do Revenge (1h58).
    • Okay ba sa spotepai? Yes. Kaka-download ko lang ng personal playlist ko na may 237 na naka-High Quality. Natapos lang ito sa loob ng 15mins.
    • Sulit ba ₱20 kada araw? Walang ganitong mobile data offer sa iba.
    • Okay ba si GOMO? Depende sa lokasyon. Kung feasible ang Globe sa inyo, feasible din si GOMO.

      I use Gomo as backup for WFH. Sometimes, na-experience ko na na-di-disconnect ang mga interactions ko since mahina ang signal ng Gomo sa area namin.

        GOMO uses their own APN (gomo.ph), not the Globe one. Maybe yan din ang rason na nadidisconnect (I stand corrected on this one) , but for me, wala akong nararanasang buffer when streaming (because some bits of it are already downloaded). Yeah, sometimes mag didisconnect siya, especially mag bo-browse ako sa Lemmy at YouTube.

        As long as I can send and receive messages and calls on Viber and emails, I’m fine. 5Mbps is enough for me.

    Dati kapag sinabi think of your happy place hirap ako mag-isip. As an afterthought isipin ko na lang kumakain ako ng pagkain and ok na yun. Medyo pilit, but it works.

    Now, it’s more specific and sure na lol. Sa dagat. It’s really nice, feeling ko nahanap ko na yung hinahanap ko ganun. Parang nabawasan / nawala talaga yung mga doubts at insecurities ko level. It’s peaceful and my mind is clear.

    I guess I’m just really amazed. May ganito pala.

    Azkals qualifying group for the 2026 FIFA World Cup/2027 AFC Asian Cup:

    Philippines
    Iraq
    Vietnam
    Indonesia or Brunei

    Top two qualify for the Asian Cup and can still qualify for the World Cup. Bottom two can still qualify for the Asian Cup but not the World Cup.

          You can still access it on reddit.com/.i

          But if you want to navigate through it will redirect back into regular Reddit, so I use Redirector, a Google Chrome extension.

    Was watching economic news lately, and NEDA had said that we are on track to becoming an upper middle income country. I could not believe it then I realize that our Gini coefficient’s to blame HAHAH too much income inequality.

    Hope our economic planners could do something about our country’s wealth gap, though I think that if there’s something they could have done, they would have done it ages ago.

      inb4 DOLE conducts TAV for microbusinesses. These businesses are already thriving to break-even, tapos mag-iimplement pa sila ng OSH at benefits na sobrang mahal. Okay lang sana na may option ang employer at employees to select anong agency na icocontribute, pero putangina, tatlo (SSS, PhilHealth, PAGIBIG)

    Can’t believe I found this guy (Justice Der) just in time for the chill, downtempo kind of rainy day.

    Better yet, dude has a 3 hour compilation of tastefully chill guitar goodness.

    Perfect for setting da mood, foreplay before rough play studying, reading a book, or drinking some whiskey, not going to work and calling it a chill day.

    Be safe and dry mga Phlemmings.
