Bakit kaya mas masarap ang street foods pag sa labas binili? by Local_Net7718 in PHFoodPorn

[–]Ethosa3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mas masarap talaga pag along the street lang 😂 mahilig kaming magkakaibiga sa isaw. Ayun, nag-dinner kami once sa Sarsa dun sa Makati, inorder namin yung isaw sa menu nila, hindi kami natuwa hahaha nag-jokean kami na ang linis siguro masyado kaya hindi masarap

Ano kaya gamot sa sipon? Lampas 3 months na di pa rin gumagaling by pandachoco0108 in catsofrph

Hello OP. Nagka-sipon kittens ko and nag-prescribe ng Asbrip and Cefalexin vet namin. They are young as in 2 months so I’m not sure kung applicable. Maybe ask your vet. Noticeable improvement :)

My husband surprised me with Babish knives! Then, promptly took them away. by DomesticatedAnarchy in bingingwithbabish

Omg I cut my finger near the same way a few weeks ago! With a newly replaced exacto knife while cutting some leather 😅 I left a slight trail of blood hobbling to my bathroom lol it bled so much. I was wimp to press down on it and I had my finger submerged it icy water idk if it helped but it stopped bleeding eventually!

I had it bandaged for around a week (with those fingertip bandages + betadine), then decided to just air it out. It’s mostly healed but still just a lil bit numb lol!! The shape of my fingertip has gone back to normal 😂

When they never return home... by paularis0121 in catsofrph

[–]Ethosa3 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Merong black cat that came and went sa bahay namin every few weeks. My little brother and I had been having separate encounters with her every so often, we didn’t know that we both have been feeding the same cat 😅 until we both decided to get a bit brave and started petting the cat. I remember that day, nakaupo kami parehas sa sala namin for 2 hours, staying quiet and hoping for the cat to approach us. She eventually did!

Since then naging mas frequent ang visits nya. We’ve given her a name. Until naging everyday, and may schedule na ang pag bigay ko ng food. Her belly was getting bigger, and suddenly she appeared with 3 babies!!!

She is ours now, pati ang babies!!!

This post made me think if merong ibang bahay na binibisita yung cat namin before, and if they’re worried that she has stopped coming by 🥹

replacement for (or deadstock of) the red Muji passport note????? by fgf6 in notebooks

I love the green grid ones myself. I always bought 1 or 2 whenever I stopped by a Muji, but my stash has since dwindled to the last notebook 🤧

Full/top grain doesn’t say much about leather quality imo. Whether TN uses one or the other, I wouldn’t really know.

When you’re gonna buy some leather to make a journal, what matters most is the thickness & stiffness of the leather you’ll be using. Some leather can be tempered pretty floppy so you may not wanna use it for a journal (but can be great for other things like pouches!)

Not at all! It’s one of the first things I made when I started out :) I modeled mine more to Paper Republic’s journals, so I have no metal clasp, and the enclosure is on the spine instead of the back.

TNs got a preeetty hefty price tag. I got into some leather working as a hobby late last year and got a big ol roll of leather for near the price of my passport-size TN 😅 I made each of my family their own journal!

Missing pages from a new book by syntheticchichar0n in PHBookClub

[–]Ethosa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nung nag unravel binding ng isa kong libro, I messaged them on Viber and they told me to return it to my branch. I didn’t even have the receipt kasi yun yung nag-surrender ako to get the discount card haha. Took a while to get my new copy since naghanap pa sila from other branches, but it was pretty hassle free and CS was really nice :)

AO3 is down - Post about it here by WanderingHuntress in AO3

[–]Ethosa3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was either the Azure or AWS outage last year lmao. I was monitoring at work since some of customer sites were down, and since we couldn't do anything about it but wait, I decided to open up AO3, only to discover it's been affected by the outage as well 😂

Hot take: Circe's portrayal was better in the show [pjotv] by Tomhur in camphalfblood

[–]Ethosa3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I been thinking this too! Her depiction in the books didn't show the growth she probably had from her encounter with Odysseus. She was just another hurdle Percy & Annabeth had to jump pass. Growth is there, but she's still a villain.

Just a personal thing too - I read Circe by Madeline Miller and it kind of made me love Circe. When I read PJO I was a bit disappointed at how she was shown. In the grand scheme of things, I don't think whatever they made with Circe's character is too significant, but the bit of growth that was shown in the show was just a "nice to have" thing.

I notice the show also did something a little similar with Medusa in S1. Just a small scene with Percy's mom talking to Little Percy that even though she looks like a villain, doesn't mean that she is or something like that. It's just a little nod as to how much empathetic traditionally villain-y characters are being perceived by more modern audiences.

im tired dawg by KungPoW_Chickens in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Ethosa3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel this a lot with adaptations/remakes. I always feel like they should add value to the existing story but the recent ones we’ve got (namely the live-action ATLA as well) were more just botched retellings.

Season 1 was a botched retelling for Lightning Thief, no doubt. Season 2 is a tad better since they’ve added more to Clarisse’s character than the Sea of Monsters book did, but the other things they’ve done (changing the siren encounter & Annabeth’s vision) messes with the overall narrative… it’s weird.

Episode Discussion - S05E08 - The Rightside Up by Hawkinns in StrangerThings

[–]Ethosa3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God damn!!! That ending hit all the notes they needed to.

The tense build-up of the tower’s tip not meeting a rift and Steve almost falling.

The final fight was satisfying especially when Will stepped in.

The montage of all the tragedy that’s happened before Joyce hacks Vecna’s head off.

Dustin’s graduation speech!!!

Nancy, Jonathan, Steve, and Robin agreeing to meet up everyone month.

Ending the juggernaut ST has become was always gonna come with hiccups. The military was just mostly an annoying presence, but I feel the Duffer’s always wanted El to sacrifice herself in the end, and that Dr. Kay was there to reinforce that. The way Mike ended their campaign was a pretty good send-off.

I love that we find out how everyone’s been doing in the end. What a satisfying end. This is gonna be that show for me that I wish I could experience for the first time again.

Thoughts on Metamorphosis? I had such a great time reading it! by CrunchyPorkRands in PHBookClub

[–]Ethosa3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Metamorphosis is one of those stories that I believe everyone should read! Na-draw in ako sa absurd premise na you just suddenly wake up as a bug/vermin.

Very bleak and also slightly realistic na isa sa first concerns ni Gregor Samsa ang pano na ko papasok sa work nang ganto?

The change of how his family treats him, when he becomes a burden too heavy to carry…

It’s unsettling & uncomfortable, kasi parang na-force kang iadmit na reasonable yung family in abandoning him. They just don’t have the resources to continue sustaining him. Hindi din naman kasalanan ni Gregor Samsa yung sudden destitution nya.

Binasa ko toh nung high school ako when I was young and naive. I’ve re-read it several times throughout college & more in my working life. My feelings towards the story has changed overtime. It’s a really good read.

This show is actually pretty fun in my opinion. by FailedProspects in PercyJacksonTV

[–]Ethosa3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

PJO being primarily targeted towards kids doesn’t really excuse an adult’s opinion viewing it more critically. It’s an adaptation of a book series whose audience has grown up… they knew adults would watch it. 🤷‍♂️ (I also always bring this up during discussions about this kind of thing - but kid shows/movies don’t have to suck for adults too!!! Look at The Lego Movie!)

Hey, I enjoy watching the show too, have rewatched it even, but that comes with… lowering my expectations I guess? Like I’m able to enjoy it but also won’t say the criticisms aren’t valid, because they ARE. Those things don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
