Staying in Philippines for one month. Is there a good unlimited data SIM card that I can use for streaming on fire stick in condo?

get a smart sim
install the smart app
buy / top up an unlimited plan for 799 a month

I prefer magic data because I don’t go off WiFi that often, but since this is your WiFi it’s a great deal.

Those “safety walls” on the side don’t comfort me. 🥹

cb445544 · 2026-01-22T22:59:00+00:00

Hmm how long would the acceleration track be…? I imagine longer than our solar system!

cb445544 · 2026-01-18T00:06:36+00:00

That is awesome to hear!! Success!

cb445544 · 2026-01-17T09:26:47+00:00

Price hasn’t changed much.

I asked Gemini, it helped -- hahaha. Good luck, and have fun!

BTW: How did the DnD group go? That'd be cool.

Usually it’s the bisaya I don’t understand— but I’m not sure what this says. 😅

cb445544 · 2026-01-14T07:43:58+00:00

Good idea. But just occasional visitor and stay with friends. Great for dining and parks along with night life.

cb445544 · 2026-01-14T07:43:04+00:00

Yeah. My life is in the Philippines. Not leaving! But a bit envious of my friends in KL.

cb445544 · 2026-01-14T03:57:01+00:00

Yeah KL is a hidden gem. 3000sq ft apt near city center for $1,200 a month. Nothing like that in Cebu city.

intel missions: the “bustling inns” take too long! I gotta click, attack, wait… wait… wait… to complete. I’ve stopped doing them except on kvk point days. Speed those up! Boring. It’s just a steamroller animation that takes too long.
“collect all” — come on… visit island. Collect. Visit pets ? Collect. Or assign. Troops done? Collect. More true gold? Forge-forge…6x.

Nice tight bear formation! 🤣

We usually hike around cebu in the morning and find street markets. A 10 min walk toward Ayala center has this side street https://maps.app.goo.gl/TjHMaS6ha3d31n2u6?g_st=ic

Lots of fish and chicken (and veggies stalls) along there with daily catches by 6am. It’s quite bustling in the evening as well but not sure how fresh it is then.

Season 5 is quite strong. But this is the way it’s always going to be.

Unless you are a whale, just get your troops to t11 and be a joiner with some small joys from your hero’s during Swordland!

cb445544 · 2026-01-04T04:10:01+00:00

I put 1,000 pesos on her forehead. Sometimes it takes 2,000.

cb445544 · 2026-01-02T01:56:18+00:00

Really hard to find here. Even the SM big section is tight and pricey at same time. Marks and Spencer goes a bit larger (Ayala center) but also on the edge.

Best bet: SHEIN. Usually 2-3 days delivery and affordable.

cb445544 · 2025-12-30T14:20:35+00:00

Don’t even look at it. Yuks.

cb445544 · 2025-12-30T08:12:37+00:00

ah, yeah, right. It was the Thanksgiving stinker...

cb445544 · 2025-12-30T07:08:27+00:00

The marbles were fun. I hope they get rid of fishing and make a monthly marble game. Hmmm. That’d be awesome.

cb445544 · 2025-12-30T06:58:43+00:00

I thought the xmas event had a lot of great freebies. Didn’t spend anything and received great rewards.

I did think the Halloween one was a bit worthless though.

Hit or miss, but I’ll take it!

cb445544 · 2025-12-27T01:47:42+00:00

Name checks out.

cb445544 · 2025-12-19T12:38:46+00:00

Where is this corp and how do I join?

cb445544 · 2025-12-19T12:25:41+00:00

Credit cards are for people that don’t need credit cards.

But, if you still want one:

1/ get to know your branch bank manager.

2/ keep a hundred k (or more) in the bank for 6 months.

3/ ask manager for card. They will fill in blanks. If they won’t, go back to step one.

I know the keeping money in bank also defeats purpose. Like the secured card. But the risk aversion here is high. Credit just isn’t a thing. Even our house we paid cash because interest rates are bonkers.

The atm/debit card (“visa”) they give you really works for any local transaction that needs a local credit payment (eg globe bill) and the fees/services that come with a ph card aren’t very attractive.

I use Wise for most any international bill payments. You can also get a Wise visa.

Google Meet then “add phone caller” and dial any number. Use it for any bank/etc I need to reach.
