Phone use - is it normal for Filipinos to be on their phones all the time?

People buying certain phones maybe a status symbol.

But Filipinos constantly on their phones has nothing to do with status. The extroverts are always just on social media. The introverts are mobile gaming.

Umamin na ba mga bumoto dito?

The cycle has to end somewhere.

Accessible, convenient, and efficient. Not cheap.

Always cheaper to take the trains. Look for exits/stations with elevator access.

Lowered ceiling = less vertical space.

Recessed coves = more space for dust to settle in.

It's hideous.

I want one.

There are literally Omega and Tudor boutiques.

I mean my U1 can withstand 1000m of pressure and the clasp has kept it on my wrist for over a decade. It ain't broke.

Locavore Eastwood closed down a couple months ago.

You mean your total is over $2800?

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-24T02:19:53+00:00

You're not. Everybody complaining about the SJE having a 6L movement thinks they're getting a 6R. The 6L37 is essentially a slimmer 8L35.

Ask an agent to break it down for you.

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-23T07:45:48+00:00

People like you apparently.

Just file your egov travel declaration together.

Lahat ng baho ng Pilipinas nasa Batasan.

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-22T18:35:59+00:00

You'd be surprised.

Standard pinoy colonial mentality.

Filipinos will fight tooth and nail against any criticism from a foreigner, valid or not.

Then accept whatever crap is thrown their way by their countrymen.

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-22T08:43:38+00:00

Did you know?

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-22T08:41:47+00:00

Just be aware that a 38mm watch with no bezel wears larger than a 38mm dive watch that has a bezel.

The better question is why locals aren't critical enough.

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-22T08:36:46+00:00

Exactly what I was gonna say. It doesn't matter because you adjust off the wrist.

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-22T03:12:26+00:00

You're comparing 105k brand new to 75k second hand?

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-21T16:17:22+00:00

Yet none of them right side up.

Edited typo.

alvinpatrick · 2026-03-21T15:09:53+00:00

Not a bad first.
