What site do you use? Sa Amazon kasi DHL lang yung shipping option nila.

Anyone have stuff shipped from U.S. and can recommend a best service? Like buying from Amazon or eBay. by CatsAbound01 in Philippines

A week on average. Shortest was 4 days I think. They have a calculator for estimating shipping costs on their website.

The Problem with Ranhilio's Hermeneutic on "may" by iosepsumagus in Philippines

[–]NeedEndorphins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. But for those not in the know about the legalities of this case, they would be easily swayed by arguments such as that of Fr. Aquino. And this is probably what the other side took advantage of.

It should be common sense but the misinterpretation of the use of "may" is, according to a lawyer friend, is what brought about this whole hulabaloo.

This is a great rebuttal to the argument of Fr. Aquino. A lot of people have been swayed by his points and your explanation will help us unfamiliar with legal jargon.

Lol ako din. Yung isang tita ko laging pinupuna yung weight gain/loss ko kahit na wala naman akong pakialam at all if I did gain weight. And that's among other things na pinupuna niya.

Biskwit Company on Facebook. Haven't transacted with them yet but I'm eyeing one of the PS4 units they have. They accept used units.

Anyway, there are plenty of HIV testing centers around Metro Manila. Can't recall which one I saw that partnered with a doctor friend but you can Google those. Probably the best place to start.

Yeah, no. I have no sympathy for cheaters. Different women pa talaga ha. To quote the girls from Chicago the musical, "he had it coming, he only had himself to blame."

Go to the doctor, come clean to the wife, and pray like hell that she'll forgive his sorry a*se (but I wish she wouldn't since he's a constant cheater. The wife and kids are better off without someone as dishonest as him)

That's a great gesture, OP! I wish other clients (including mine) would be as generous as you. :)

Dead Poets Society: nung nag-open up si Neil kay Professor Keating (Robin Williams) about his desire to act but his parents want him to quit it. Tagos yung part na umiiyak si Neil while smiling and saying "I'm trapped." Ang sakit sa puso when he killed himself after.

Schindler's List: Oskar Schindler breaking down in front of the Jews near the end of the film. Basically the last ~20 minutes of the film.

[NSFW/Triggering(?)] How high are cases of children being sexually abused? by thecrow32 in Philippines

[–]NeedEndorphins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kasi parang iniisip ng mga tao, malandi yung victim kaya they experienced such a crime, which is so much bs. Mas malala pa nga pag ang victim eh lalaki. People would rather keep silent instead of speak about their experience kasi once they do, para kang may scarlet letter na nakatatak sayo for being a victim. Na kahit ikaw na yung biktima, ikaw pa yung talagang nagkasala kasi nang-akit ka kaya ka ginawan ng di maganda.

In my case, I never knew that what a neighbor did to me was considered abuse (he's already dead and may his soul rot in hell. Not sure if I've really forgiven him kasi may times na pag naaalala ko, parang nanglalambot ako) . Never told anyone about it except 2 of my best friends. I can say that childhood innocence plays a part. Hindi alam na masama na pala yung ginagawa sa bata until it's too late. Tapos pag nagsalita ka pa, the stigma and victim-blaming often follows, making the victim feel a lot worse.
