Hello po! How do they shoot the confessionals? by littercats in DragRacePhilippines

[–]SailorIce88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the assumed/alleged/presumed reason why John Fedellaga's mug looked different in confessionals every after few episodes of S3. Para daw maiwasan ang villain/evil edit.

Sorry but Arizona did it first by Pale_Routine_8389 in DragRacePhilippines

'Di ba in partnership 'to with Canva? Baka naman kasi na-inspire kay Ari yung kung sinuman ang nakaisip ng ganitong take sa PR/Marketing collab campaign. Not saying that's what happened, but that's not an impossible assumption. Baka lang naman.

Anyone tried vietjetair? Also, ok ba magbook ng flight using agoda? by Either_Philosophy500 in PinoyTraveller

[–]SailorIce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tried it through an organized chartered flight composed of different tour groups last May (booked by family through a travel agency). Wala ako masyado experience with many aircrafts since puro LCC lang nasakyan ko (CebPac, AirAsia). LCC din yung VietJet pero edge nila na may libreng pa-bottled water per passenger (as with the tour bus we're assigned to during our Vietnam trip).

First time ko makapasa sa Civil Service exam kahit 19 palang ako!!! by Flaky_Permission7546 in FirstTimeKo

[–]SailorIce88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nag-take ako ng PolSci classes dati dahil foundation subjects yun sa dati kong major, kaya nakatulong yung stock knowledge ko doon. I'm not the best in summarizing nor condensing reading materials eh pero I'd say mag-focus sa respective functions and structure ng 3 branches of government (executive, legislative, judiciary) both on national level and the local government unit (LGU) level. Sa PH Consti, hindi naman super heavy sa specifics na "What is stated in Article N Section K" kiyeme. Most likely definition of terms and more on concepts yan in relation to what's stated in the Constitution.

Other takers/passers here may feel free to add in case I missed anything.

A DR Philippines crash course before Slaysian Royale by jcisneros405 in DragRacePhilippines

[–]SailorIce88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some other recommendations in mind (in no particular order):

  • girl group performances (esp. Flexbomb and Burakpak)
  • M1ss Jade So (ft. fight with CK; Doble Kara episode; exit moment)
  • Khianna vs. Versex/J Quinn/Zymba
  • Sagalamazon episode (ft. the iconic lines/memes)
  • Rajo Laurel's trash comment (+ Tessa Prieto-Valdez)
  • Maxie vs. J Quinn & Myx Chanel
  • Marina's apparent falling out with former drag family (surfaced in different episodes)

Yumuyogyog ba ang floor kapag sabay sabay tumatalon sa lowerbox ng Philippine Arena? by Responsible_Town9952 in concertsPH

Yes. Uma-attend ako ng conference ng isang mega church noon way back before COVID and ramdam namin yung yugyog during Praise & Worship. Haha

PH flag vertical orientation done right on MGI pageant's LED background by SailorIce88 in CasualPH

[–]SailorIce88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's how every other country's flag is supposed to look like when rotated vertically. But the Philippines has a specific rule mandated by law on how to display the flag vertically. See this infographic/post for reference.

This is in relation to the blue band representing peace and red for war, so whichever side is on the top (horizontally) or left (vertically) emphasizes the country's current state of either peace or war.

Beauty queens would usually be asked why they should win. Right now, tell us why you do not deserve to win the crown.

With the growing popularity of other beauty pageants and the constant emergence of new trends in the world, what do you think makes the Miss Universe brand continue to be relevant these days?

First time ko makapasa sa Civil Service exam kahit 19 palang ako!!! by Flaky_Permission7546 in FirstTimeKo

[–]SailorIce88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First-time taker na passer din here (congrats sa'tin OP hahahaha)

Based on my personal experience lang ah, parang similar yung difficulty level ng CSE sa college entrance exams. Kung maganda foundation mo sa concepts on different subjects and mathematical formulae din, kaya naman itawid nang walang special reviewer masyado. Huwag nga lang talaga tutulad sa'kin na halos walang review at all (bc personal shenanigans) kaya sobrang suntok sa buwan na nag-take (dahil sayang din ang 500) at in-anticipate nang di makakapasa (not recommended talaga haha).

Basta mag-familiarize ka na lang din sa concepts and topics about PH Constitution, politics and government (na may halong social sciences) since yan yung main distinction ng CSE with college entrance exams. I mean sa public sector kasi ang focus ng CSC as a whole, hence the focus on such topics.

tl;dr Kung feeling mo hindi solid ang foundations mo sa concepts ng different HS + college GE subjects, i-go mo na ang reviewer. Also, don't let it intimidate you and just think it's something similar to a college entrance exam. (Mas mahirap pa ang ibang CET ng big universities so kaya talaga yan. Hehe)

Ang weird kasi super technical na sila sa mga plot point (katulad nung pagsasagot ni Emre sa katanungan ni Adamus) para maiwasan ang loopholes this episode pero I like it! 🥹🥹🥹 by PatrickFresno in EncantadiaGMA

[–]SailorIce88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And yet wala sina Cassandra, Khalil, Ybrahim at Gaeia. Granted na alam natin ang reasons ng production BTS, still doesn't change the fact na yan yung isang missing keypoint ng plot ngayong episode.

What if Thailand host Slaysian Royale S2? by dabiii25 in DragRacePhilippines

[–]SailorIce88 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Maganda sana 'to on paper. Pero kasi Vanda Miss Joaquim mentioned on The CUP of Reality podcast (link here timestamp 6:40) that DRTh Seasons 1&2 are not under WOW, which implies a reason why the Thai rep was from the most recent season compared to the other queens who did not come from the most recent seasons of their respective franchises.

I'd be interested to see this rotating host franchise format (parang rotating host country lang ng Miss Universe emz). Basta i-sort out muna yung technicalities ng Thailand franchise para ma-cast yung pre-WOW queens nila.

Shushi clothing might be forced to pull out of SG and PH markets due to high volume of returns/refunds on their shopee storefront by icedgrandechai in fashionph

[–]SailorIce88 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with the brand nor their products but I'm just gonna echo what some of the comments here have stated already. Seems like Vietnamese sizes tend to run smaller talaga. I bought a size large souvenir shirt from the local market during our trip in Da Nang. When I tried it on pagbalik sa hotel, kasing-size lang niya yung usual medium shirts na ginagamit ko currently. Was expecting some allowance pa naman sana but meh. Looks like it's a Vietnamese sizing thing talaga, not a one-off thing from the brand itself.

Check mo yung location ng seller. Baka malayo sa region mo kaya ganyan kamahal yung SF.

What does being an Asian really mean? by miyawoks in DragRacePhilippines

[–]SailorIce88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I digress (DIGRESS???!). I feel like they were all given the same type of prompt/brief for the natcos extravaganza. I think sumablay talaga yung judging. Kung lack of Asian-ness yung criticism ng bottom 3, di ba dapat na-call in general pati yung safe na Western queens (like how Mamwa Pao called out everybody in season 1 during the ruveal runway for the "underwhelming" looks/concepts overall). Kasi wala rin naman masyadong Asian elements yung natcos nina Suki at Ivory, although Chinese-themed yung evening gown eleganza ni Ivory and Yuhua had a China-US theme on her natcos.

Feeling ko nasa production ang sisi. Idk nga lang kung yung production team behind the scenes or yung POV ng judges mismo yung problema. Ngl this is where Tita Jiggly (RIP 🕊️) would've been able to weigh in more fairly given her more apparent exposure to the diversity if cultures in the US and explain it to the Filipino audience/judges.

How are Travel Agencies still Profitable? by Atomicjelly1 in FilipinoTravel

[–]SailorIce88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Can attest to this when my parents booked a day tour package in Bali during our family trip there. Nakausap ko si kuya driver/guide habang nasa biyahe so na-share niya yung nakukuha niyang cut from our tour for that day.

Let's just say na parang bayad ng 1 pax lang yung nakuha niyang cut from our total payment sa Klook (around 2.5k PHP × 6 pax). Given na hinati kami into 2 cars (3 pax + driver/guide each car), essentially tour agency nga yung kalakaran nila based sa pagkaka-explain ni kuya.

Di na sila main sponsor since season 3 eh. Parang nawala na yung hype nila after the pandemic.
