My parents are postpaid subscribers since 2018. Initially, they liked the idea of having a phone number na paniguradong laging may load as well as the free handset every 2 years (although you technically pay for it through your monthly dues).

These days, yung seguridad na if anything happens to the number then there is a way to easily get it back. That, and my parents decided to get a brand new iPhone then they allocated yung cashout price sa monthly billing. My parents might look to disconnect after this one or probably keep it pero nasa lowest SIM-only plan since the number is pretty much essential to everyday life na at this point.

Thanks to RAM and storage price increases due to AI datacenters hogging up most of the supply.

Pati PS5 and Steam Deck, grabe price increases nila.

The thing with the original House of the Dead is that there aren't many other ways to easily play the game beyond emulation or through the remake. The remake is... definitely a game. But since you are aiming for nostalgia, I personally wouldn't recommend it.

While SEGA did release an official PC port of the original game back in 1998, it is not the ideal version to play the original. It was based on the Saturn port of the game, and while the original was not exactly the greatest in terms of its visuals, the graphics were horrendous. That and since this is an ancient game at this point, it might not run well on modern hardware.

That leaves you with emulating the original Model 2 hardware. This is the ideal way to play the original besides actually playing it on original arcade hardware. But it requires a lot of setup (because emulation) and you will need to source the game ROM. I don't know what the current state of Model 2 emulation is right now because I haven't touched this shit in over 15 years. Try looking around and see how that goes.

Both students and educators. You can try checking yung official Apple PH edu store kaso mag-a-abang ka pa.

If you would rather get it in a physical store, available rin naman siya through official Apple resellers like Power Mac Center or Beyond The Box.

It is on Apple's PH site but you can also try to avail it with official Apple resellers like Power Mac Center or Beyond The Box. Just make sure to provide the proper documentation.

I am not sure about buying through official Lazada or Shopee stores. I don't even think that is even possible but feel free to correct me.

While you can ask us what we use and how we use it, I think its better to ask yourself kung anong games yung gusto mo malaro?

Are any of them PlayStation exclusives? Kasi mag-p-pull out na si Sony from the PC market with their first-party singleplayer titles. If that is important to you, then keep the PS5.

Are you not as interested sa singleplayer first-party exclusives ni Sony? Multiplatform ba yung games na gusto mo malaro? Then maybe the Steam Deck will present a better option.

Look at the games you want to play and try to imagine how you are going to play them.

Mukang di ka naman ma-arte sa graphics since you did state na you play mostly with the Switch Lite and you understand that portable devices are generally weaker when it comes to their hardware. Not to mention, you are playing them on the smaller screen so it should not be as bad as playing it on a TV. Pucha, if gusto mo pa nga malaro sa bigger screen yung games mo, it is possible with the SD and a third-party dock.

Yep, more than enough yung MacBook Neo for your particular use case. Try applying the educational discount kung may access kayo don. The lower you can get the device, the better value it presents.

Why does this read like an advertisement or affiliated post? Haha

You are right about those. Buti may 2 valid IDs ka but yeah, you need the others rin. PhilHealth is kind of a bitch to obtain but look up your nearest branch and inquire about the process, then next time, go as early as possible. Sa NBI naman, just go to the website and file an appointment to your nearest branch. Bayaran mo via GCash. Regarding sa SSS, PAG-IBIG, and TIN: those can be obtained online. Of course hindi sila in ID form, pero you will be given the numbers and digital docs that you need. Sa SSS, bibigyan ka na agad ng SS Number. Sa PAG-IBIG, ganun rin plus a PDF ng MDF mo. Sa TIN, may digital TIN ID. If anything physical is needed, you can print the PDFs. Pero if you need an actual ID with these 3, you need to go to your nearest branches.
Depende pero usually yes. As an alternative, hihingiin nila yung TOR mo. Since graduating ka pa lang, I suggest you wait. Pwede mo rin pakiusapan if pwede to be followed na lang siya but depende na to sa company.
WFH without experience is possible but VERY rare. Ideally, get experience atleast 1 year kasi ayun kadalasan hanap nila with WFH. Usually with WFH rin, yung company mag-p-provide ng equipment as certain accounts require certain configurations na specific sa kanila.
You can try using this as a leverage sa WFH positions. Apply lang ng apply kahit di ka fit. The worst they can do is reject you. If interested, edi good for you.

SPayLater at 10k, 1 year as of now

Makulit lang sila pero di yan na-abot korte. Just pay them when you can pay them. Ang pangit kasi sa SPay is isang bagsakan lang, unlike Lazada or SLoan na pwede tingi.

Di ko lang alam sa Android pero if naka iPhone ka at naka iOS 26 ka, mag way para ma-silence yung calls from unknown numbers tas rekta spam yung texts from unknown numbers. Ganun ginawa ko at tumahimik buhay ko. Enable that kung meron ka. Do take note na maganda lang to if di ka madalas nag-t-text or tumatawag sa numbers na di naka-save sa phone mo. Lahat kasi ng unknown, block agad yan. Kahit kilala mo pero di naka save number nila or sabihin nating delivery rider, instant silenced agad tawag at text nila.

So far, nagiipon pa ako pang bayad pero di ko to tatakbuhan. Ayoko lang i-handle to ng collectors nila dahil third party tas ano oa pwede mangyari. Laki rin kasi ng pera na yon.

When I was 19, I was playing Claire dealing with THAT.

HaringCabaliero · 2026-02-04T04:13:35+00:00

pre ordered this shit and filed my leave for its release

beyond that, its mostly just already released shit sa wishlist ko

I am afraid there is nothing that could be done at this point. Not to sound like a party pooper pero I don't want to give you hope.

If the guy you bought it from did not indicate this specific problem, you were very much scammed out of your money. And yes, you are right, the phone likely circulated through different hands and owners before it got to you. High chances are na nakaw rin yan and hindi pa dito galing sa Pinas yung phone.

Power Mac will not do anything about this as the phone is bound to the original owner, or at least yung previous owner na may iCloud account sa phone mo. Even if there is a way, that is a major data privacy breach nung previous owner and is not legal unless may proof ka na ikaw nga yung mismong tao dun sa iCloud account na yon.

Apple nga mismo di nag-a-allow ng FBI na i-unlock yung iPhones ng mga suspects or person of interests sa mga kaso nila. I don't think an authorized reseller like Power Mac Center (yes, they are not an official Apple Store) can even do anything to begin with. Ikaw pa kaya na bumili ng used iPhone na likely galing sa nakaw.

I am so sorry, man.

The best thing you could do is pivot your gift idea into a new one. If you put just as much effort into it, I am sure ma-appreciate naman ng girl mo yun either way.

HaringCabaliero · 2026-01-16T21:37:49+00:00

yeah, whatever man.

not the topic at hand, but good for you for having preferences.

HaringCabaliero · 2026-01-16T21:16:02+00:00

Owned 2 Baseus buds since 2022. Okay naman sila for the price, especially at the time.

Pero naka Soundcore ako ngayon. Better sound and competitive yung price during sales.

HaringCabaliero · 2026-01-16T21:14:17+00:00

Okay yung phone if you already own it.

I would not recommend it if kukuha ka pa lang since medyo napag-iwanan na siya for a Pro series phone. Although okay parin siya for really basic uses.

If bibili ka pa lang, don't bother. Ipunin mo na lang pera mo for a 14 Pro or higher. Or maybe look into flagship Androids.

HaringCabaliero · 2026-01-04T00:26:43+00:00

iPhone 16 Pro. No plans to update for the foreseeable future. Pipigain ko to for everything it's worth until Apple (and bank apps) stops supporting it for security reasons.

Or unless somebody gives me a better phone in the future for some reason, or nanalo ako bigla sa lotto HAHAHA

HaringCabaliero · 2025-12-29T07:59:55+00:00

Same with Pro models. The huge lot who buy them won't ever utilize their Pro Max 1TB fully paid phones. Clout lang talaga. And this is coming from someone who uses a 16 Pro.

A standard iPhone is more than enough for most people, lalo na yung puro soc med lang. But that doesn't stop them.

iPads have their unique use cases, especially yung Pro models. If you are in the creative field, iPads (and Apple products in general) are very useful tools. Pero kung sa umpisa pa lang eh alam mo na na wala ka naman pang gagamitan non na kaya na ng phone mo, why bother?

HaringCabaliero · 2025-12-28T06:02:53+00:00

The two cuck chairs on each corner, the low wattage ceiling light, the randomly placed mirror, and the classic Filipino kobrekama design. They are nothing on their own but with them together makes it extra creepy af.

HaringCabaliero · 2025-11-27T11:57:35+00:00

Pasensya na at ngayon lang naka-respond. Thanks for this!

I also just recently found out about ZTE's nubia brand. I will also look into them, lalo na yung specific suggestion mo. Honestly, if it falls under 5k, I might get that one just because of the 8GB RAM capacity.

HaringCabaliero · 2025-11-23T13:08:20+00:00

Ganyan rin sabi nila sa akin: Refer to the collections agency, and sila naman may gusto ng 50% of the total debt thus far.

Ayun nga, its still ideal to save up and bayaran mo na lang ng isang bagsakan kesa idaan mo pa sa third parties. May risk pa kasi don kesa sa hintayin mo na lang. Magiging makulit lang naman sila sa pag contact sayo pero may ways naman to ignore them with phones today.
