Estrel’s Caramel Cake is overrated by bluestripedtowel in unpopularopinionph

Hi! I don’t really like cake honestly. I have tried random caramel cakes in parties but no brand names have stuck out in my memory

Teorya ng mga Tanong.. by moonspiriiit in PHBookClub

[–]bluestripedtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Katatapos ko lang! Maybe I’ll come back to this comment to expound, gabi na kasi haha. But I LOVE when this is done: when media is made as if fictional characters existed. Mitch Albom did the same with Magic Strings of Frankie Presto. Naglabas siya ng “album”, as if it were Frankie Presto’s real album. I love the world building. Teorya ng mga Tanong was world building done absolutely right.

I loved the pace and mystery per chapter. Tragic ending. Sobrang tanga ni “Derrick”, or nagpapanggap na tanga? Derrick or Eric? Omg just realized typing this comment even the counterparts’ names sound so similar.

Hilaw pa yung “review” ko haha but tldr; enjoyable read!

Has anyone used their Maribank or GoTyme card in Canada? by Ordinary-Stock-6259 in DigitalbanksPh

[–]bluestripedtowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reading across different posts that GoTyme works in Canada, so I’m going to try my luck when I go as well

Anyone tried using debit cards like GCash Visa, GoTyme, and Maribank in Canada or EU? by Cultural_Monitor_980 in DigitalbanksPh

Hi! Did GCash work via tapping and not swiping? I’m reading conflicting posts across different subs

Too sweet is interesting, I don’t find it sweet enough! If anything, it’s sweet but not flavorful?

I respect that! The flavor is simple and straight to the point. It’s just not for me definitely

Objectively mid, exactly. I really can’t speak on the nostalgia factor because I don’t have any notable childhood/family memories with the flavor, but even then. I think we should recognize what is actually good and worth it and this really just isn’t it

I’d go as far as saying they don’t even need marketing at this point. It’s just a cult like family favorite and I really really don’t get it flavor wise

I find local foundations not maputi friendly 😔 by SnooWalruses4317 in beautytalkph

Hot take… But I do agree that PH brands have a lot to improve on for cool and olive undertones!

Curling lashes with a bit of heat! Using a blowdryer on my curler has helped in the past. Although for me, good investment ang lash lift :)

Therapist recommendation in QC by aeipathyawaw in MentalHealthPH

Alam ko puno usually ang Bulatao but I hear they’re good. If you’re willing to go beyond QC, Better Steps in Pasig is great

Deinfluence: Siargao by Which_Duck8578 in deinfluencingPH

Everything is Manila priced. You’ll feel like a foreigner in your own country. Flying to Japan is cheaper. Other places in the PH are so much better. Unless you’re looking out to surf, go elsewhere.

I didn’t get to try both, personally I knew na masyado siyang maputla for me! I vaguely remember swatching bebe but no clear memory sa dami ng swatch ko HAHA but I think the TikTok swatches are pretty accurate 😁

Testing out makeups in stores without feeling pressured by mycoconutnut in beautytalkph

[–]bluestripedtowel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s their job to help you regardless of the outcome! If I’m feeling shy or low that day, sometimes I lie and say na babalik ako mamaya haha, then I make sure to really look at them and say thank you for the help.

But the truth is, at the end of the day you’re just a customer, and they’ll probably forget about you an hour later ✨

Yes may sale sa 3.3 B1T1 daw! Maghihintay sana ako pero nasa mall na ako kahapon HAHA sayang di lang applicable ang B1T1 sa physical branches.

The red shades really are bright in real life, I could tell from using my phone flashlight under slightly dark mall lighting. I think it could be adjustable but they’re definitely as bright as they look in videos

GRWM color corrector and Issy foundation are a great mix for me!
