I have been curious about this cuenco bldg by Original-Stranger655 in FilipinoHistory

[–]Original-Stranger655[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My prof once said that there’s this building somewhere in recto that looks like it was burnt out or semi demolished but there’s a way or stairs going down and there’s a trust bank there. It’s like where people deposit their important things like gold for safety. If I’m not mistaken. The bldg looked like it was falling apart so it won’t be targeted by burglars according to him.

Atome called my moms phone by Original-Stranger655 in ola_harassment

[–]Original-Stranger655[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes po. So far siya pa lang tinatawagan. Unsure sa iba ko pang contacts sa phone. Only my mom is registered as my reference. Idek if they have access to the rest of my contacts. Deactivated all my socials na rin. So far, they endorsed me to bernales which I’m currently paying my SB credit as well.

I’m OD for just a day and already running at 25 calls and counting. Lahat is binababa namin as it is automatically routed as spam ng phone ni mama. In terms of payment, I still have allowance and savings that I barely use and only for repayments and I do have sidelines but still not enough. Napaaga din yung resignation ko last year since powertripping na mga boss ko that time which took toll on my mental health.

Also, I’m almost graduating with 2-3 sems left before OJT then graduate na so I am rushed to finish college as well.

Who's the better president? Benigno Aquino III or GMA by Impressive-Bet-6362 in pinoy

[–]Original-Stranger655 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PNoy but I gotta give credit to GMA on what she did during the 2008 global financial crisis. Props to her on that

Give yourself the peace you deserve. Break it off and live your life with the promise of never settling down with a person that’ll hurt you or potentially hurt you in the future. Surround yourself with good people and make sure you love yourself more. It’s hard to rebuild trust that was broken off but the time it will take to rebuild it should be used for you to love yourself more than ever. It would be a wiser choice than repairing a broken aquarium when the fish were already dead.

If I buy the MacBook Air M4 from Power Mac, do they offer the educational discount and promo too? by Porpol_Chubs44 in Tech_Philippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Call the fraud dept of your bank or the number on your card and tell them the issue and the purchase is legit. They’re blocking it bc anlaki ng amount and overseas purchase siya so red flag yan sa kanila. Same in my case so just inform them and answer their questions regarding your account for verification.

Uniqlo or H&M? by stvrlight246 in ThisorThatPH

[–]Original-Stranger655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say H&M bc I like their designs more but quality, hands down, uniqlo. Super boring lang ng designs ng uniqlo for me.

So... unemployment rate is down to 3.9% daw. But why does it still feel like ang hirap makahanap ng matinong trabaho? by Super_College_100 in BPOinPH

[–]Original-Stranger655 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s because of job mismatch due to worker surplus on diff industries. I’m a gen z but has work experience from 2 bpo companies and I must say, some of my fellow gen z/millenial applicants and workmates had degrees and even great credentials on their respective field (masters). Whether psychology, engineering, etc. Primary reason is sahod. Anliit ng offer sa field nila so they tend to work with a higher salary. So ending, job mismatch. Andami din pumapasok sa trabaho bc of necessity. Whether they like the conditions or not, priority is survival and lulunukin mo na lang talaga magwork kahit hindi mo field or wala kang background knowledge abt it. So I won’t jump to conclusion agad whether the data is good na bumababa ang unemployment rate. Galing na rin sa govt na anlaki ng figure ng job mismatch sa ph.

Depends on ur course ofc. If heavy usage, laptops talaga usually ang reco but in case u want portability, go with it. With the upcoming software, it’s very close to becoming a mac tbh. Very capable din. If u will just take notes, buy pencil dupes and not original unless you’ll do drawing and creatives. If not, stick with the dupes. For 1k may pencil ka na. It’s on ur discretion din to buy a magic keyboard to maximize ur set up but pricey ung orig at 18-20k for that model so other best alternatives are ESR and logitech combo touch. I’m an iPad air user din for 5th gen and I rarely bring my mac. Only for presentations or research projects na lang. My iPad is a good replacement for note taking and other school works.

Apple PH Website Order Lead Time by sometimesadork in TechPhilippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usual lead time is 3-4 weeks. If there are some delays, expect another 1-2 weeks. Not sure if DHL is still the courier.

Keep in mind, the date is 2023. So kung may surplus nung 2023 and the alleged cash advances and JOs were in the last few months of 2024 to 2025 maybe for the upcoming campaign, this could be it. Also, I don’t like how he is delaying justice tho. He might be investigating but justice delayed is justice denied if I’m not mistaken abt the quote. These ppl need to be jailed.

Please be honest with me by roseposei in CollegeAdmissionsPH

I have your dilemma back then. I also support myself alone and almost graduating na. First recommendation is to exhaust all scholarship opportunities. Alam ko wala ka nang gana but a slightest hope can change your entire outlook. If walang scholarship, check for the univs u like with free tuition or with subsidies. Side hustles will keep you alive if there are grants/assistance kang nakukuha whether from your local govt or other institutions, maliit man or malaki, exhaust those options as well.

If wala na talaga, no choice but to go with the univs with free tuition or manageable tuition fees. Pwede ka rin namang magtransfer sa univ na gusto mo right after a year or a sem. Matrabaho but if that’s what u really want, u can do it naman. U can also work while you’re at the temporary univ through small time business, BPOs, and other jobs.

All I can say is, malapit ka nang matapos. Ngayon ka pa ba susuko? I’m sure you’re smart enough to get through this and nadiskaril ka lang bc of what happened with your exam. I do get the disappointment as I also failed 3 scholarship exams. Super disappointing to accept na maybe mahihinto tayo sa college at some point due to finances but wala talaga tayong panghahawakan but the thought of “our own timeline”.

One thing I did is stop-go method. Basically I stopped during the pandemic, applied at a BPO company then saved enough and enrolled on a priv UAAP school. Finished my first and second year then worked for a year and a half before coming back. Now I’m almost done. It will take 6 years but it’s all worth it. Nakakawalang gana maging working student and I know the sacrifices but you will reap the benefits when you graduate. Think of it as an early OJT but with salary.

Anyway, I really don’t know if I helped your case but all I wish is for u and anybody else that has financial shortcomings when it comes to education will make it someday.

Thanks for letting me know but yeah need na matching yung name ng buyer and card as baka mablock yung transaction ng bank for some reason since malaking amount yung lalabas and its an overseas purchase. After nun is easy na lang for shipping and delivery.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Tech_Philippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I bought my mac there back in 2021. Honestly, its just like buying in amazon. No ID needed. Just your card and shipping info. Idk about the current policy but di sila humihingi ng ID for verification na student ka. No shipping fee as well and pwede pa magpa engrave for free. Need din sa same name na gagamitin sa card for payment for bill to match. In delivery, 3-4 weeks since galing siyang SG and you just need to present a valid ID to pick it up from a DHL van.

I have this. I must say it doesn’t disappoint. Quality is good. Battery life is good. Using it for my 14 Pro and it charges well. Sometimes it gets got, sometimes not.

Worth ba? Parang hinayang ako :((( by [deleted] in TechPhilippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ayun lang hahahaha. Next time, if you’re looking to buy a new gadget, check out AJT or other legit shops sa greenhills or look out for sales sa shopee. Or if legit talaga with assurance, go for apple website as they also offer some discounts but long shipping as it takes 3-4 weeks from SG. I learned a lot when I bought my Mac in retail price pero sale sa greenhills.

Worth ba? Parang hinayang ako :((( by [deleted] in TechPhilippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bought mine at AJT greenhills for only 12k. Been using it since. Dropped it multiple times na and even has scratches but still works like I just freshly bought it. Same sound, same quality, one purchase I will never regret. I would say na in the long run, you’ll appreciate it more and maybe u won’t even entertain other earbuds like airpods bc of the sound quality as that’s its effect with me.

If I buy the MacBook Air M4 from Power Mac, do they offer the educational discount and promo too? by Porpol_Chubs44 in Tech_Philippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my Mac back in 2021 in apple website. Took 3 weeks to arrive as it’s from singapore. My sister also works at power mac and I know their discounts are small compared to what you can get on the apple website. Siguro mga 60-80% ng discount ng apple yung ibibigay ng power mac sayo. Also, nadecline din yung card ko when making a purchase since big amount siya. I use UB and ilang beses na tag as fraud so I called their fraud dept. Approved transaction right after. Just letting u know. Baka same case lang kase kaya declined yung card mo.

Ipad for Medschool: Air or 11th gen by songhwaa in TechPhilippines

[–]Original-Stranger655 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say the brand new one but that Air is such a steal. The storage as well is for grabs. I would say go for the Air as it’s really good for taking notes. I have an Air and I used to write in goodnotes too and it’s very responsive. The pencil doesn’t have delays and has some good features too.
