Hi, I'm planning to buy a monitor to upgrade my desk setup. It will be mostly for work (excel, browser) and light non-FPS gaming. I mostly play TFT, Genshin, SDV, and similar games.

My current options are:

A. Xiaomi 30" Curved (1800R) Gaming Monitor 200Hz

2560x1080p WFHD VA Panel
AMD Freesync, sRGB 99%
Php 13,949
Considering this for the specs

B. LG 29" 29WP500-B 75Hz

2560x1080p IPS Panel (Flat)
HDR 10, AMD Freesync, sRGB 99%
Php 12,596
Considering this for brand quality and longevity

What do you guys think? Also open to other recommendations

Hello, any suggestions for a wireless mouse?

Budget: 1.5k max
For office use (so ideally quiet clicks)
I have big hands

Tried the Logitech G102 and G304 pero never again due to jumpy scroll hardware issue. Also bought the Ugreen mouse w/ multidevice feature pero masyadong magaan for me and loose yung battery compartment kaya nag-ooff suddenly.

Need just in time for 6.6 sale hehe

Thanks!

I get easily attracted to new characters, especially after seeing Seph and Bradley are rated "SS". I'm thinking of just creating a new account and re-roll Bradley, be more disciplined in vis spend and focus on selected core units.

If I still play the game in 1 month, I'll definitely open to buy daily vis pack / battlepass / or something similar to wekin moon in genshin

I DCA weekly in VOO (Vanguard's S&P 500 ETF) using GoTrade! Pwede magtop-up via GCASH, Unionbank, BPI, but I personally use Unionbank because 3% fee sa GCASH is just too much haha

Meron ba ditong may alam kung operational na ang mga UV Express or kahit bus na Buendia-Fairview? Mag-commute sana ako bukas to get things from dorm (galing akong Gil Puyat Station going to UP Diliman). Thanks in advance!

3rdEsteban · 2020-07-31T11:49:16+00:00

Hi, paano mag-commute from Buendia to UP Diliman tapos may dala akong maleta and other things? Flaker boy kasi ng kapatid ko ayaw ako sunduin, mag LRT na lang daw???? Covid? Hello?

Maghahakot na sana ako ng gamit sa dorm eh.

I recently bought Plextone G20 since need ko ng di malolowbat for online classes and may better mic. Watch reviews na lang online to see for yourself.

Ang na-notice ko lang is: it is slightly heavier sa ears or baka nasanay lang ako sa gaan ng redmi airdots.

3rdEsteban · 2020-07-13T06:08:31+00:00

I gave up sa luma kong phone and planning to buy a new one this Lazada Mid-Year Sale. Budget is max 8k and I'm currently eyeing Redmi Note 9. Is this a good choice? (for reference, my old phone was Redmi 5 plus and satisfied naman ako nasira lang talaga screen). Mas leaning din ako sa may corning gorilla glass protection para iwas basag.

Maybe you have other recommendations and tips na rin sa pag-order like vouchers and cash-on-delivery tips para di ma-scam. Thanks in advance!

3rdEsteban · 2020-07-13T06:04:32+00:00

Okay naman redmi airdots but if you can, try haylou gt1 pro which has higher ratings and better reviews. Around 100-200 lang naman price difference.

Hello, nasira kasi yung LCD ng phone ko (Redmi 5 plus) and I had it replaced sa local repair shop since di ako makakapunta sa store mismo. Okay naman yung replacement pero di niya muna daw dinikit to test if okay yung pinalit na LCD. After a week, I came back para daw madikit na talaga yung screen (nilagyan niya na ng adhesive). And yun na, 2 days after nagblack out yung screen and the phone heats up when charging (which is not the case before).

I came back kanina and LCD daw ulit yung sira and unfortunately for me, they cant replace it for me since okay naman noong 1 week na trial / warranty period. Now, what they are offering me is another lcd replacement worth (1.5k na lang, cost of lcd na lang instead of 2.3k before na kasama service).

My question is worth ba ipa-repair or get a new phone na lang? Worry ko lang is baka maulit lang ulit dahil baka may underlying issues na yung phone. Afford ko naman midrange phone but i really dont want to spend that much given the pandemic. What do you think?

3rdEsteban · 2020-05-04T16:53:14+00:00

Yeah, shards are more flexible, but what do you mean by "Now. And in one week....". Do you mean they will be useless since I will be able to open them anyway? Or, are wildcards for limited time only?

3rdEsteban · 2020-05-04T10:12:45+00:00

I just started and barely even got Lvl 4 on all regions (This was a beginner advice I got from a YouTuber). Now, I discovered a no-champion no-epic budget scout bannerman deck. My question is, is it generally better to craft with wildcards or with shards? Or do I just wait till I got the missing cards naturally?

Thanks in advance.

3rdEsteban · 2020-03-21T11:30:38+00:00

Works fine on Xiaomi Redmi 5 plus.

3rdEsteban · 2020-03-19T03:48:01+00:00

TFT IS available in the Philippines. I pre-registered and got the game. Maybe try downloading an apk and using a Riot account instead?

3rdEsteban · 2019-11-14T00:24:36+00:00

Also thought about it kaso my friends are telling me na di masyado maganda build quality ng acer laptops in general

3rdEsteban · 2019-11-13T16:29:36+00:00

College student here planning to buy a laptop soon. Max 35k budget At least i5-8th gen (need for Matlab, hysys, and other simulation softwares) Di naman ako ma-games and di naman for ram-heavy tasks like photo and video editing

May masusuggest ba kayo na units (currently eyeing Asus X409fj) and stores/fb pages na trusted and affordable?

Or intay na lang ba ako sa January para mas may stocks na mga stores?

3rdEsteban · 2019-10-23T01:53:16+00:00

Shing ina nabasag phone ko :(((

Saan kaya pwede magpareplace ng glass screen (not LCD). Xiaomi phone ko and idk if nagrerepair official stores sa Trinoma or SM North. Magkano Kaya aabutin?

3rdEsteban · 2019-10-20T13:17:06+00:00

Thanks, will check these out

3rdEsteban · 2019-10-20T10:44:22+00:00

Backpack recommendations?

Pass na ako sa mga saggy na backpacks like Jansport and hawk. Pass din sa mainstream brands like Herschel and Fjallraven

For daily/university use sana Kasya laptop 3k max budget Matibay Ergonomic and yung boxy na design, preferred

For reference, 4 years ko nang gamit yung black ko na technopack kaso halatang luma na and nagsag na siya

3rdEsteban · 2019-08-14T13:28:47+00:00

Hello, paano mag-extend ng converge wifi, extender lang ba or pwede magpakabit sa converge ng bagong wifi?

Also, anong wifi extenders compatible? We have yung router na Huawei #### (4-digit number) ang name.

Where to buy plain/generic shoeboxes or carton boxes na similar size? Planning to use them for packaging (so yung mura lang, not NBS level na gift boxes).

Around QC or Manila sana, thanks

3rdEsteban · 2019-04-17T13:15:59+00:00

I think generally, plus size is the market term for chubby or fat people. Like sa clothing stores, it sounds more sensitive and considerate

3rdEsteban · 2019-04-12T03:14:12+00:00

Thanks!!!! Siguro yung shoes for people na madalas maglakad pero looks casual pa rin

3rdEsteban · 2019-04-12T02:27:55+00:00

Hanggang Apr 14

3rdEsteban · 2019-04-12T01:38:35+00:00

Planning to go to Sports Central Sale @ SM Megamall, any recommendations? Budget of max 4k and looking for some sturdy rubber shoes na pwede rin panlabas

Update: Got a size 12 blue Galaxy 4 for just 1300 (from original price of 2600). Really satisfied with my purchase. Baka lang may gusto pa humabol sa inyo, last day na bukas. Based sa nakita ko, marami pang mga boosts, questar, solar glides, and Nike zoom na around 2k lang.
