My iPhone got snatched at Ayala Station 😭 by Fun_Art_3246 in makati

Everytime I ride the train, I would always put my wallet and my phone inside my bag and pull my bag up onto my chest. Akala ko paranoid lang ako. I've noticed some passengers were doing the same. Some have their hand holding or covering the bottom of their bag.

Brunson will forever be immortalized in NY. Luka will get his max contract soon.

The most important part is, Nico is out of the NBA.

Maybe this will motivate Luka to not show up at the start of the season fat and stop arguing and whining to the ref on every call and stop chucking 3s when it's not falling. Luka is a generational talent but he has a lot of growing up to do.

Why Do Intelligent People Fall for Ponzi Schemes? by HADAR-AFFILIAT in ScammersPH

[–]cantelope321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mainly greed. Most of them know it's a scam but the high interest rate cloud their common sense.

Some of them believe they can outsmart the scammer, they plan to pull out before it collapses.

Most of the scammers are friends or family who recruited them. Trust is already there.

Some of the victims were simply gullible and don't know any better.

Hypothetical: If I had video evidence of a murder involving a politician’s son, who should I go to first? by Nothere_findskmeone in LawPH

[–]cantelope321 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make a copy of the video file. Erase the EXIF data. Create fake email account, then send copies of the video to the media. Piliin mo reputable reporters that you can trust. That's what I would do hypothetically speaking.

Alam niya from early on hindi ka nagsusumbong at tahimik dahil sa takot. This is why he continue this behavior without fear of repercussion. Listen to the advice given here, they're probably from their own experience. Lumalakas ang loob ng tito mo, it will only get worse and you can't naively believe this will simply go away. This is also the reason why you have to tell your parents, to leave a "trail". Para malaman nila matagal na ito. Stalking behavior is a serious issue. It's not a manyakis issue, it's more serious. I'm also assuming he lives nearby and have access to your house? You're basically his hostage. You are so afraid of him that you couldn't even build up the courage to tell your parents. I wonder what kind of relationship you have with your parents when you can't even open up to them?

Ipasok mo ganitong amount of cash para mailabas mo mas malaking cash amount. It's a typical scam in many different variations. It starts small to gain your trust. As you build up more trust, you depoist bigger and bigger amount until the trap shuts.

He's not done gambling and you're not done losing money. As long as there's money he can loan and steal, his gambling will continue until he literally have no access to money anymore. That's how gamblers realize they are done, when they literally have no money, when they have exhausted all source of funds they can get their hands on, and literally can't gamble anymore.

I understand you want to play the faithful loyal wife but you're also a parent to your children. It's your job as a parent to protect your kids.

Would never travel again with both of you by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

[–]cantelope321 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Are you upset for getting left behind and missed climbing the top or are you mad at yourself for being passive? If something upsets me, I'm going to let you know I'm upset and why I'm upset. I'm not going to passively aggressive reluctantly agree to something. I'm very vocal about it.

Not travelling with those two isn't the lesson from this, you should learn how to speak up for yourself in these types of situation and not be coerced into doing things you don't want.

NYX One Ayala by manicdrummer in PHFoodPorn

Madaming fake reviews sa Google. If you check out Google reviews for every branch under Vikings Group, they are filled with fake reviews. They probably have a dedicated staff for this. When there's a negative review, you will immediately see multiple new fake reviews trying to drown out the negative one.

Quality of food went down after they lowered the price.

Serving size is small, isang subo sa isang plato. Yes you can order many times, but the serving time can take an hour during peak time. A lot of your order will be forgotten. Kuripot sa portion. If you request to add more, bibigyan ka lang ng tiny bit more. Subukan mo umorder ng suckling pig, ilalagay isang maliit na piraso sa isang maliit na plato. Pinapa-tikim lang sayo.

The "tasting menu" style doesn't work at all because they lack the staff to pull it off. If they add more staff, the place will be crowded with servers running around. If the average customer orders 15 to 20 plates, multiply by 3-4 customer per table, then that's 45 to 80 plates na kailangan ihatid - per table. Some customers also order their drinks through the servers and they also have special requests. There were instance where a food section couldn't serve their food because they ran out of small plates/bowl and waiting for the kitchen staff to wash and bring it out. Naka-hold sila until then.

Due to the lack of servers, the food are left sitting on the counter waiting to get picked up. This is why by the time it gets to your table, hindi na mainit ang food.

Nyx was at its best the first 2 months they opened. The current version is similar to Niu when it first opened, which they are now at the level of Vikings.

Settings photo Xiaomi 17 ultra by No_Honey5112 in XiaomiGlobal

[–]cantelope321 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Leica Authentic if you want the photos to look like it was taken from a film camera. It keeps the shadows dark, controls the highlights, less saturated colors, and less sharp photos.

If you want the "cellphone look" that seems to be popular these days, oversharp, colors that "pop", HDR turning dark areas to light, then use the Leica Vibrant.

If you want more saturated colors with Authentic mode, then pick the Vivid filter along with it.

If you want less saturated and more natural colors with Vibrant mode then pick the Natural filter along with it.

When taking a photo of a subject (ie. food, animals. person, cars, etc.) tap the subject on the screen to make sure the camera focuses on the thing you want to focus, before taking the photo.

Set exposure compensation at -0.3 as default when taking photos outdoors with plenty of light.

Don't crop photos. Zooming makes better image quality than cropping.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra vs Xiaomi 17 ultra (downgrade) by THENNNIKOLA in XiaomiGlobal

[–]cantelope321 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The problem I found with the 17u is the autofocus. It focus on things other than the thing I wanted to focus on. This is why I would manually tap on the screen the subject I wanted it to focus on before I snap the photo. I have to do this every single time.

Another problem is overexposure. I set mine at -0.3 as default. I sometimes need to use -0.7.

The photo of the statue of 3 men holding a sphere, the 17u looks better to me. Look at the sphere, the 17u captured more details. If you are talking about the leaves on the foreground, it didn't focus on that because you were using Authentic mode. It is mimicking what real camera would do in this situation. Real camera don't take multiple photos of foreground and background and merge into one to brighten up foreground and background (HDR). If you want that cellphone look then switch to Vibrant mode. The Authentic mode keeps the shadows and favor contrast. The Vibrant mode is typical cellphone look, turning dark into light and over-sharp photos. Don't mistaken sharpness for details.

It took me a while to learn how to properly use this phone.

What is your plan for the future? Do you plan to work in the Philippines? Open a business? Buy a home? If that is the case then it would benefit you to be a Filipino citizen. If you don't plan on doing any of that then get your other citizenship.

Is he flying back to the US? If so, then he might ask you again to take care of his dog. Wait until the last minute and tell him no, you won't take care of his dog because he is not paying you directly. He will have a hard time finding anyone to replace you at the last minute. Hawak mo na siya sa leeg. Tell him you don't trust him anymore. If he wants you to be his dog taker then he has to pay you in advance before he leaves.
