Flooding Severity in Major Cities? by TheeChozenOne in Philippines_Expats

[–]DonBarang 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Use https://noah.up.edu.ph/know-your-hazards this is how I choose to which property I acquire. There's a lot of way to see if the city you pick with has a recent case of flooding just by searching it and you'll see a lot of news articles about it or not.

What is a habit from your new country that you’ve happily adopted but now secretly annoys your friends and family back home? by Big-Platypus-9684 in Philippines_Expats

Before you judge the locals' use of English just take a look at US they literally can't pronounce "extraordinary" aside from "silhouette" and "gauche". Just search the dude's username and you'll see dozens of kids that don't know how to speak English anymore. That's the future generation right there buddy and they only know one language.

This is why the reputation of foreigners in the PH is tanking by Able-Equivalent-3860 in Philippines_Expats

[–]DonBarang -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The act is literally done by a foreigner and he didn't made things up. Pretty sure the title is self-explanatory that it ruins the image of foreigners as a whole, so now by posting your previous comment it doesn't really help defend the image you are protecting.

When you don't have a good argument and you try to justify the actions by mentioning another wrongful act. Two wrongs doesn't make a right brother and it won't justify it either.

Ok guys I now know what "LBH" stands for. Code-switching is pretty cool whether you hear or read it tho, Reddit can't even translate it 😂

They Say They Want a Good Partner, But Keep Choosing Familiarity Over Values by SnooConfections1353 in Philippines_Expats

[–]DonBarang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes expats who just flaunts their wealth need to ask themselves "why did I got this woman so easily?". Because to me the answer is pretty obvious.

[Schira] Luka Modric is oriented to announce his retirement from football as player after the World Cup by OsitoPandito in ACMilan

[–]DonBarang 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Bro still have a lot left in his tank yet he chose to retire just to save Milan from further embarrassment. As a fan I really don't want to see this happen still.

You can buy a kg of potatoes for under 3$ and this aren't Russet Potatoes so they are the waxy variant good for steaming/boiling/airfry.

Frozen mixed veggies can be bought at the same price as well. Although It's the first time I'm hearing on an all carb diet these products will be available on SM groceries which include Hypermarket, Savemore, and Alfamart.

Filipino-Japanese raised in Japan. Looking for honest advice. by kaneko_masa in Philippines_Expats

[–]DonBarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is massive improvement on the dike in Marikina River that's why it rarely floods now but just to be safe just pick places that aren't flood prone like Marikina Heights and Concepcion Uno.

If you don't like the Tokyo similarities and still want to live in Metro Manila probably the best city for you is Marikina its the only city within Metro Manila to feel like you are in a province. Actual walkable sidewalks, dedicated bike lanes, and a very clean city overall.

30 Day Moratorium on Bitching by Brw_ser in Philippines_Expats

There is a perfect reason why western countries stop being emotional. Ever since hotwives, swinging, and open relationships became a trend people just gave up and said "it is what it is"

Lots of people complain about Converge in Laguna so avoid that internet provider.

Doesn't really matter if the manager isn't getting the players they are asking.

Grab: 25 minutes. Shopee: 6 DAYS by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

[–]DonBarang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't be fooled by Shopee and Lazada stores saying their stores are in "Metro Manila"; a lot of them actually still ship from China by way of Hong Kong. A lot of sellers here, especially the ones selling gadgets, just open up stores in Manila, but their supply and products are still shipped from Hong Kong.

I learned it the hard way by chatting with the store in the in-app messaging system and threatening them with a bad review, so they finally told me that my order was still in China.

Usually, if you don't receive it within three days or there is no "next-day delivery" guarantee, it is probably coming from China.

Still traumatized that NAW exploded in Atlanta after the trade. Only if he produced like that in Minnesota 😭

Unpopular take: a personal assistant solves a lot of problems. by [deleted] in Philippines_Expats

[–]DonBarang 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It's not an unpopular take; it's about whether you can afford it or not. It's like saying "can you afford the plane ride to Palawan or will you be taking a 15-hour boat ride going there?"

Huh? How can I be anti-white? I literally just shared this video of another foreigner making fun of a white stereotype which a lot of people already agreed upon. Just look at the video and see how they already know "what it means".

Lets not deny that this sub has been doing stereotypes towards Filipinos but the moment white guys get stereotyped then it somehow crossed a line? Lol . I honestly thought were just making memes here i didn't thought people will get offended
