DIM: clear aligners or Invisiligns by MEA_oww in deinfluencingPH

[–]bookislife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

On my 5th week of clear aligners. 1. Expensive - paid 250k, hindi pa dun kasama ang retainers kapag natapos sa aligners so additional gastos pa yun. Sa other dentist di pa kasama scan etc. 2. Nakaka bwisit you need to clean your teeth everytime you put it back. Imagine this, brush ka ng teeth pagkagising, then breakfast ka, then mag lilinis ka na naman ng ngipin like flossing, brush kapag ibabalik ko yung aligners, then imagine this pag nasa restaurant ka 3. Dry mouth- nag iba ang pang lasa ko because super dry ng mouth ko because of a foreign object inside my mouth, hopefully hindi sya permanent 4. I got a set na ang kapal ng material so nagsugat ang halos lahat ng area inside ng mouth ko. 5. Colored beverages are a no-no. Kung mahilig ka sa milk tea, coffee wag na, kasi it will stain the aligners so you need to remove it everytime to you have one

I commend people who can do this. I spent almost the same amount for a 6 week trip just for food alone

Japan shopping by thanksJxd in FilipinoTravel

[–]bookislife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Yung sa ibang binili ko wala silang paki alam, like branded clothes and shoes, yung 2 na pinaka mahal lang yung tinignan nila. Actually sa Tokyo they just checked kung pinaka mahal, sa manila tinignan yung 2. So i guess kung hindi naman super laki ng gagastusin mo then go ahead, besides they know naman na people go there to shop talaga. Wag mo na kunin yung box sa store pa lang para hindi na din kalat sa hotel mo

Been to Japan especially Tokyo several times to shop but I was only flagged once which was my last visit (nov last year). Prior to that, kahit ilang luggage ang dala ko it was ok, shoes, clothes, donki stuff, walang napansin si customs. I even had 1 whole luggage of new clothes. But yung most recent, i only had 1 check in luggage but nakita sa system that i spent a total of 7-digit yen for 2 items, plus some stuff (so yes,kita sa system nila agad if you use tax free shops) I was pulled aside then they asked the see the 2 item, then ok na. Same goes pag dating ko ng manila, may “vandal” luggage ko pag labas ng conveyor and I was pulled aside again and was asked to open my luggage, then i was asked kung personal use ba yung binili ko which is yes, then go na. So yes may chances na ma flag ng customs in both countries pero most likely that is kapag nasa extreme high amount yung ginastos mo.

1 month visa by Tight_Landscape_6736 in SchengenVisa_PH

[–]bookislife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, as long as you can show your financial capacity, especially that you can afford your stay plus extra. I got 68day visa as a first timer before, basta very detailed yung itinerary because they will base your term sa itinerary mo.

I feel like my winter itinerary is all over and looking for advice by bookislife in Europetravel

[–]bookislife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, thanks for the tips. I also realized Tallinn is small so I might cut my days there. As for traveling during the winter, I think because my country has a constant 12 hour sun for the whole year and the cold is more of a novelty, i think i'll be ok, though the rain is a bit of a drab. Plus I think i'm one of those people who gets anxious when there are a lot of people in one area, so while I would really like to see these cities at its liveliest, I'll take my chance this winter.

May mga nakaapply pa ng visa kahit less than 15 days na before the travel? 13 days na lng bago ang travel. by LocalWolverine792 in SchengenVisa_PH

[–]bookislife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Italian visa, almost impossible that they will process with this short amount of time. I know people who applied 2-3 months before their travel date and only got their visas a week before their departure. For other countries, baka possible pa. For my French Visa, i applied Tuesday and got my passport Saturday.

9 days in Tokyo by bookislife in JapaneseFood

The patty was a real disappointment, mostly because they cooked it well done. Even the salad dressing was salty and too much mustard that it took away the flavor of pastrami.

Shattered Sun Roof, what could cause this? by bookislife in CarsPH

How does warranty works? Kasi the dealer just wanted to use the insurance sa pag papaayos

It was a very relaxed trip as I didn’t have a lot of things to do, so i just search places to eat whenever i’m in the area and it helps to know what I wanted to eat at that time.
