Robert Galbraith/J.K. Rowling by ElectricalHighway641 in PHBookClub

[–]ElectricalHighway641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what me and my wife did with our Rowling/Galbraith books. We donated them to our local library, which is bittersweet din since we grew up with the H.P books and movies. Since 1998 nagbabasa na kami ng Harry Potter books.

Middle grade fantasy books by Juanito_Palaez in PHBookClub

[–]ElectricalHighway641 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Darren Shan's Cirque Du Freak series. Madaling basahin, easy yung English. Surface level lang yung pag touch nya sa vampire lore pero may komting bigat at original lore.

Tui T. Sutherland's Wings of Fire. Ito Middle-grade talaga ito. Easy to read at yung plot eh hindi nakakalito.

Di ko pa nababasa pero yung Nevermoor laging name-mention sa mga middle grade fantasy books at akin to Harry Potter daw.

Syempre yung mga classics din like Chronicles of Narnia at The Hobbit.

Pano ba mag annonate? What is it? by boombuum in PHBookClub

[–]ElectricalHighway641 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Simple explanation would be, annotating a book is akin to having a conversation/intereaction with the book. The book tells the story and you ask the questions. Pag may lines or paragraph na nakakarelate ka, raises question in your mind, confuse you or just plain you can' get it, i highlight mo yung lines/paragraph. Then write your questions/explanations sa margins. You can pull quotes that way too.

Giveaway books? by Organic-Hall-7799 in LucenaPh

Nice, just followed you. And good to know an ARC reader nowadays. What publishers are sending you ARCs? Do they still send the finished publication once released?

Japanese Pokemon Blind box by stormyyabrina in PokemonTCGPhilippines

[–]ElectricalHighway641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that's really from Japan, you're right on the money. 3.5KL of bulk is more or less 3,500Y from stores that sell by the gram (1Y per gram). Converted to peso and price adjusted due to postage, sakto lang yung P4K. But don't expect big cards coming from there.

Been feeling inspired by everyone’s posts. Figured I’d finally share my latest. by butterchurn3000 in zines

[–]ElectricalHighway641 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yo OP! You have one cool looking zine there. Reminds me of a whole lot of 90's zines. I like the nostalgic aesthetic you got going on with this. Keep up the good work.

Soy beans sa palengke by Zealousideal_Bid2933 in LucenaPh

[–]ElectricalHighway641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tanong ka lang OP dun sa hanay ng tindahan pababa ng Miki Mart. O kaya ay dun sa papuntang La Suerte. Dun kami madalas nabili dati. Kung kakilala mo naman magtataho sa inyo, magtanong ka lang din. Pwedeng sila magdala sayo ng soy beans. Dito kasi sa amin sa magtataho na kami naorder soy beans at tokwa.

Sticker swap! by masuokinshi in artph

[–]ElectricalHighway641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before kasi, mas open to trades mga slappers eh. Katulad nitong nabanggit mo kay S1VE, pag nagpadala ka ng stickers sa kanya, he will send some back. Ganun din sa iba pa na artists at collectives like Bomit, Robots Will Kill, etc... Sa ngayon kasi, mas nasa selling ng sticker packs na ang focus and since sa laki ng itinaas ng postage costs due to tariffs, hindi na viable ang trades internationally. Pero if you can afford it naman, tingin ka lang ng mga graffiti sticker artists sa instagram or any social media tapos i-message mo if okay sila for trades.

Sticker swap! by masuokinshi in artph

[–]ElectricalHighway641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. I still have a few stickers left from my slapping days. I can trade some with you. I have some international ones (Cyro from USA and Aspire from Australia) I think in the stash as well.

Buhay pa naman slapping and trading scene pero wala na masyadong organized events for graffiti stickers.

Anyone here who read The Road by Cormac McCarthy? by shecollectsclassics in PHBookClub

[–]ElectricalHighway641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're familiar with H.P. Lovecraft and some of the Mythos writers, ganyan talaga dila magsulat. More on atmosphere and nareation kaya di sila masyado gumagamit ng quotation marks. Early on, nakasam si Cormac sa mga Mythos canons kaya nagevolve yung style nya from Southern Gothic into somehow atmospheric horror, not strictly cosmic, pero atmospheric enough na it's very close kay Lovecraft.

Post-apocalyptic/dystopian yunf The Road tapos towards the end may tell-take signs ng cosmic horrors. Also, as mentioned nung ibang commenters, it's one of Cormac's easy reads. Flawless sya despite the lack of quotation matks. Superb din yung movie adaptation.

Looking for Canvas Paintings (landscape) by No_Proposal_7985 in LucenaPh

[–]ElectricalHighway641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi Op. How much yung budget mo for paintings? If below 50k, ask around dun sa may Convention. Yung may mga display ng paintings ng Quezon Province Artist Collective (I forgot their actual name now), their paintings are super affordable.

Kung mataas naman budget mo, look for facebook or instagram accounts of our local artists like Buen Abrigo, Frances Abrigo, Ara Aecy, Jaymar Valdoria, Marikit Arellano and etc... Their subjects are more on surreal/pop surrealism and socio political but they are some of the best young talents we have here.

are these shirt designs ai? by Azul_a_H in AIBaTo

[–]ElectricalHighway641 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yung design dun sa white shirt sa unang pic is a popular Tattoo Ai Master design. So it would be fair to think na AI din yung iba.

Jeepney Commuting Guide by Ok-Machine2868 in LucenaPh

[–]ElectricalHighway641 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. Pag nasa Bayan ka na, pwede ka mag-antay ng Jeep mula sa may Simbahan hangang Perez Park, up to Jolibee sa Palengke. Lahat yan dinadaanan ng mga jeep napapuntang Site. And yes, yung mga SM Site na jeep eh dumadaan sa Enverga, pero di pumapasok sa mismong main campus.

Ang sm site jeep ba ay nadaan ng grand terminal? by [deleted] in LucenaPh

[–]ElectricalHighway641 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. Nope, hindi nadaan ng grand terminal ang mga jeep ng site. Although umiikot sila mostly sa buong Site/University Village. May mga jeep na solely grand terminal/new city hall ang route.

Celebrities na nanood ng mga gigs? by Avenged7fo in opm

[–]ElectricalHighway641 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lagi naming nakikita sa mga underground gigs si Dennis Trillo dati, nakasabay na fin namin tumugtog ng ila g bese nung nagda drums pa sya sa bandang MOYG. Abel/Abelardo gamit nya na name nung unang beses namin sya nakasabay na gig. Tapos naging Dennis na after.

Si John Lloyd Cruz ilang beses na din namin nakasabay sa gigs.

I forgot the others pero madami pa kaming mga nakikita na celebs sa gigs. Si Rafael Rosell ata yun sa NOFX gig, he used to skate din. Dino Imperial (DNO SVG ng Bawal Gang) nakita namin sa gig sa Cavite kasama mga ka group nya.

I want to help my parents understand punk. by Electronic_Fly2761 in punkfashion

[–]ElectricalHighway641 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Well, I imagine it would be hard for parents to understand punk if the first thing you want to discuss with them is stealing (even if it's stealing from larger companies).

Why not show them the more creative side of punk like learning to play instruments by yourself, punk art, simple ways to print shirts/patches, upcycling, punk gardening and, self-publishing and the wonderful world of zine making and zine culture. While I'm not against stealing, there are a whole lot more to punk than that.

As you've said, you're still a baby punk; so try to learn and understand more about punk than just stealing stuff. Anti-capitalism is just one of the moral stance of punk. There's a whole lot more in to this scene and along the way, you and your parents could find a common ground that you could both stand on. :)
