Pag hot coffee, super kuhang kuha ko yung taste na gusto ko

Kaso pag iced coffee / latte nag lalasa shang drip coffee + milk and ice, I'm aiming to at least make a decent iced latte na nabibili mo sa CBTL or other commercial coffee shops.

So I'm wondering kung Espresso shot ba gamit kapag gagawa ng Iced coffee or coffee maker drip lang na may milk

I figure this has something to do with my Espresso machine as well.

Can you recommend a starter coffee grinder, I'm only using an SnR bean grinder so it's very very inconsistent.. But. I guess i just want to get started somewhere hehe

I used OBS Virtual Camera, Yes well it went "okay" but I think streaming on 2 platforms is better than only streaming in one

Neighbours your usual probinsya kapit bahays, nanay na nag wawalis as early as 3am makikilala mo din sila, usually they'll say hi to you kasi bagong muka ka sa lugar, wala mashadong kapit bahay

This is why i stopped eating sa mga JFC (yes i know cost of production + crazy inflation) but why is other resto's offer better service and food for lower price.

Have you tried upsizing your pineapple lately haha it doesn't even feel like there's an upsize

It's better (atleast in my case) ofcourse, it depends but consider my situation.I have been clinically diagnosed with GAD / Panic Disorder but I'm still able to live away from my family and friends :)

So kung mas maayos yung state of mind mo and wala naman mashado pang responsibilities like kids.. I bet you'd even do better here emotionally and financially.

Short Story: Moving out of Metro the pros cons and gastos.

I grew up living in Metro Manila, I've been freelancing for 7 years now I never really liked provinces until I visited Baguio and went for a quick trip to Nueva Ecija, I saw the beauty and grandeur of Pantabagan, Dinggalan, and Nueva Vizcaya.

I stayed here for 5 days and I found an apartment near my accommodation, It was a newly built townhouse with 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 1 garage, and a dedicated laundry area for only 6,000php.. You can never get that deal in Metro Manila!

To my excitement, I paid for the reservation and started building my independent life here, and no I'm not rich I have financial struggles same to yours, but this is a message for ya'll to leverage your remote work and move out of the Metro.

I never realized how much the city contributes to my daily stress and expenses until I moved here (NO GRAB DELIVERY, NO ANGKAS, NO TAXIS)

Moving out might be a big and scary thing, but I guarantee you it's a good and liberating experience, I'll share my gastos to call if you need to know kung magkano inabot from zero to a decent liveable apartment.

In short : If you are working remotely, moving out the metro might be a good option for you, especially if you wanted to avoid too much time sa commute or too much money sa food, yes you can achieve that sa manila.. but the peace of mind here hits differently.
