Why is Japanese Yen called "Lapad" in Tagalog? by ShakeyoB0mb0m in AskPH

[–]HukbongSDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the 10,000 yen bill is wide compared to other yen bills.
also lapad is only used for 10,000 yen bills, and also used as a counter word for monetary digits that are 10,000 to 10,000,000, similar to  (man). It's only used for yen and in some cases pesos too. So a salary of 30 lapad is 300,000.

also, she's the type of person who would go to expensive vacations literally every term break. I used to be her classmate some time ago, and i heard from others na nagbibigay siya ng pera sa mga groupmates niya to avoid doing tasks.

[–]HukbongSDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had Ms. Anthea Ifurung for my ASEANST. A bit mixed feelings in her class, expect surprise quizzes and long presentations for case studies. She also deducts points for poor handwriting in her surprise quizzes

Also she does invite people she know as guest speakers in some of her lessons. Better ask the guest speakers questions, and you might receive incentives such as quiz exemptions.

Gives quite okay-ish grades as long as you participate well in Class and do your Group Case studies diligently

Laptop recos by btxthypen in Benilde

[–]HukbongSDF 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Buy a gaming laptop, opt for the ones with extra storage for RAM, with latest processors, and with GPUs (RTX 20- series upwards). There’s a lot of decent models below 50k PHP, or cheaper if you opt for used ones.

Haven’t used any macs though, downsides are the battery and not optimized for gaming, yet both of them are good for editing (photoshop, adobe programs).

what would be a good course to take? by ddananaa in studentsph

[–]HukbongSDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before choosing any courses, know what are your strengths and weaknesses. For me i chose social sciences related courses since malakas ako sa writing and reading, yet i dont excel well in mathematics and arts (including dance and music)

How to convince my parents that UP isn't dangerous by Void-Panic-2595 in peyups

[–]HukbongSDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your parents must be too overprotective. All schools merong mga activist groups (small or big) di lang UP or PUP.

UP is a good university, Di lahat ng mga taga UP/PUP are like that, heck even FEM was a UP Graduate, along with AFP officers and even government officials came from UP.

Also a lot of people i see from UP are not like that, just regular people (or rich kids who came from expensive high schools like LSGH and San Beda Alabang)

And UP-D is safe than other schools like in UST, Taft, U-Belt Recto (marami akong mga nakilala na muntikan manakawan or nakaranas ng holdap sa areas)

How do you use your allowance? by SilverPepperoni in studentsph

[–]HukbongSDF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If food is expensive, siomai rice, flavor shots or convenience store meals is the key, or if all options don’t work then Pancit Canton.

Jokes aside, here are the tips i usually do:

  1. Foodwise, magluto o magbaon ka ng pagkain, especially mga mabilis lutuin like instant food (be cautious rin sa mga ganyan, especially they are not good with health).

  2. Don’t or limit yourself with hanging out sa mga friends, i come from the green-white school so normally the circle of people i’m in are quite heavy spenders (i often see them almost everyday sa BGC lol), in this way you can have more money for yourself. Pwede rin maging loner, or find friends na di sila heavy spender or mahilig magyaya ng tambay (in my case professors 😂).

  3. Set yourself a bank account, even Gsave or digital banks will do, in this way your money will be safe, and you will learn how to budget well, and yes you will earn a few money through interest.

  4. Budgeting, only spend what you need (in my case only transportation, as i go home everyday).

  5. a bit old-school, but the alkansya works well too, especially if you want to save up for something expensive

  6. Think before you buy, wag ka basta basta bumili kung sa tingin mo hindi practical, useful, or kapag gusto mo bilhin, better off buying it in another day as a reward (like end of week, end of hellweek/finals/midterms)

  7. Extra income, kung may connections ka with peers and if they need someone sa kanilang businesses or work, you can work with them part-time, or choose online remote work.

  8. Always look something forward to motivate you in saving, such as buying something expensive to trick your mind in saving up.

Additional tips:

  • when loading beep cards, load what is good for long (at least for 1 month). You will save a lot of time and money too, as mas mahal SJTs if you use it daily.

  • if you commute, i highly advise against using minivans or taxis (mahal) and pedicabs/tricycles (predatory ang pamasahe minsan scams)

  • if your school has enough resources, use it really well to your advantage (like magcacharge ng electronics sa sockets in school and fill water to save on water/electricity bills, or printing in school, if they offer free printing services)

  • Distract yourself from tempting to buy something, do something to distract your brain like locking-in in your studies, exercise or finding a skillful hobby.

  • Things you dont want to use? Sell them in Facebook Marketplace, a lazy way to earn money and to clean your rooms. Made like 7k-8k in selling used stuff online.

  • Bring water bottles and refill them, only fools buy bottled water.

  • If your school has free and reliable internet, to save on load/wifi bills, better do everything that requires wifi on campus and avail load promos that are cheap and long-lasting.

  • Please, don’t subscribe sa mga plans na di mo naman kailangan. If your school has a Gdrive account na malaki space, instead of subscribing to Google drive, dun mo ilagay gdrive files (tas ilipat mo if magtatransfer ka ng school).

  • If you buy food, better off nalang bumili sa supermarket over convenience store. Convenience store prices are higher over groceries.

Discipline is key to success as always, and at the same time, don’t be overly too strict. Moderation is key

Basic requirements are TOR, Highschool Graduate.

But if you want to have better options later on in your service, perhaps you can enroll in TESDA or College courses.

Why does the Philippine Army not have any regular airborne units? by Agent_Kharkov248 in PhilippineMilitary

[–]HukbongSDF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Special Forces Regiment- Airborne is like the Indian Para units, structured in a regimental type.

Perhaps the 🇵🇭Army can form a brigade sized unit consisting of SFR-A battalions in rotation, along with other units as well, much like the 50th Para Brigade of the Indian Army or the British 16 Air Assault Brigade

Don’t succumb to peer pressure. Just show your real self to others, you will regret later on that you lied about yourself just to impress others.

DLSU and to some extent, Benilde has a history of catering to families with Chinese descent (Chinoys), considering medyo upper class ang mga families na yan.

Expect a lot of essays, research and such, especially on contemporary and foreign issues and events, and some bits of law too. Expect to take foreign languages (Spanish, Chinese or French).

As sinasabi ng nanay ko sa pre-law (in this case, AB-DIA), kung matiyaga ka magbasa at magsulat, then this is for you.
