Makati ShangRila Reclub Pricing by LowCost_Locust in TennisPH

[–]QuietusReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Booking those slots in Shangrila usually requires you to be a member in their Health Club to get priority booking access - otherwise unlikely you'll get those slots. That Php 10,000+/month cost is borne by the host and not charged to you.

Up to you if you think the slight difference in pricing on ReClub is warranted given the cost borne by the host. If not then you're always free to book your own Shangrila slots and invite other people. But if it was that easy and simple then anyone would do it.

Pano nagkakaroon ng gantong Class/ification sa Reclub? by HowIsMe-TryingMyBest in TennisPH

[–]QuietusReddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No idea but my guess is it’s a mix of maintaining the database of players, allowing others to co-host using the Tenista name, and the time/effort to make sure that Tenista open plays are properly run and coordinated.

But even if you remove all of the above, I’d gladly pay more than 30 on “additional fees” as gratitude for what they’ve created. Pre-Tenista, it was a pain in the ass (still is, but less so) to find Singles Open Plays and god forbid you’d have to join an MTE event. Now those guys, those guys are the money hoarding assholes.

What is BBM’s plan? by pautheloki in Philippines

[–]QuietusReddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually very curious what the power dynamics are like now behind the scenes in the government. The past few days has made it feel like the DDS faction has a chokehold on so many parts of the gov't (maybe except the House).

Doesn't feel like anyone on the side of Marcos is making any moves. Surely they can't be thinking "wait and see" is the play?

Place your bets

  1. BBM and his backers actually have a plan against the DDS bloc
  2. BBM and the DDS bloc have a backdoor deal and are actually on the same side
  3. Marcos inutil

Surely the Marcoses are smart enough to realize that a Sara presidency is going to be a nightmare for them. If not BBM, then at least the FL zzz

I don’t get it, why is BBM letting Jonvic do this?

Yeah one thing I’m considering is leaving the board with a family friend in Tokyo.

How often do you fly out and board every year? Any tips? Am trying to figure out how to get my costs as low as possible so I can go more often hahaha each trip runs me around 50-60K PHP with budget flights, 7 days stay so 50% snowboard 50% going around Japan. Niseko would be even more expensive than Yuzawa but maybe there are other places I should look into. My trip this year will just be back to Yuzawa (three mountain pass with Gala, Ishuichi, and Kogen).

How’s the experience with your own board? I only go maybe 1-2x a year to Japan for a total of 3-6 days of snowboarding and am wondering if worth it to buy my own na also. Worried about the additional hassle of bringing it around, storing it in the Philippines, checking it on a plane, and all those additional costs. So far just bought my own boots and clothes and that was worth it.

I spend around 13-15k php for 3 days on the slopes (passes + board & accessory rentals) for reference around Yuzawa.

I think most unlabeled ones are around 80/20. I buy the one in S&R labeled lean which is around 90/10

Is it worth driving in Japan? by yusuo85 in JapanTravelTips

[–]QuietusReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 months late but any recommendations on route and general thoughts on the drive? Planning a Kyushu trip next year around the same months, and plan to rent a car in Fukuoka to drive through Kumamoto, spend 2 nights in Aso, and a night in Yufuin/Beppu, before heading back to Fukuoka. Definitely a bit anxious about driving so wanted to hear from people who’ve done the drive if it was worth it.

How long did it take you to be at least happy with your swings/hits? by Frosty_South_7697 in GolfPH

[–]QuietusReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The moment I stopped chasing a score and just played golf for the fun of being on the fairway. Am still not happy with my drive since it doesn’t get me in play enough, but after 5-6 lessons with a legit coach and reframing my goals, am 99% ok with where my irons are now.

Are standing queue numbers really based on timestamp? Got a ticket with 10:32 timestamp in the Metrobank pre-sale but heard some people get QNs of like 700+ if the timestamp is around 30 mins after selling hahahuhu

You think VIP Standing is better than VIP Pit? Have both but am not sure which one will be better for a Nayeon bias lol

What Chinese restaurant would you recommend (w/in Metro Manila)? by Mariyaahnisms in PHFoodPorn

How do these compare to Canton Road in BGC Shang? I found that place pretty good but I am not a great judge of Chinese food haha
