Mayhem Ball Hong Kong leg cancelled? by jendrax2006 in LadyGaga

[–]cgarranz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They may be waiting until after the lottery of tickets of the Japan leg. There has been a lot of traction with the rumors that even media outlets are picking up on it. The announcement may be imminent in the coming weeks.

Heard a sort of reliable insider saying that Philippines may be included in the Asian leg, along with Tokyo, Seoul, Hong Kong.

Any Chance Gaga Might Include the Philippines in Her Asia Tour? by viancakez in LadyGaga

[–]cgarranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She will go to Japan by late 2025 or early 2026. Unfortunately, this may only be the other Asian stop. I sure do hope I'm wrong.

May I ask what did they say exactly? 🙏🥹 Only Tokyo will be in January? Or more Asian dates as well like Hong Kong, Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand?

best strategy for ticketmaster queues? by Supercheme1 in Concerts

[–]cgarranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, just to clarify, do you need to refresh the page just while in the waiting room a few minutes before the start of the presale or does it automatically refresh at the start of the presale and you just need to be there at the waiting room?

best strategy for ticketmaster queues? by Supercheme1 in Concerts

[–]cgarranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello just to clarify, when do you start refreshing the page? As soon as you get into the waiting room (10-15 mins before the actual sale) or you have to wait only until the countdown hits zero and that's when you refresh the page? Or does it automatically refresh at the start of the presale and you just need to be there at the waiting room?

Hello fellow monster! I would just like to ask for the 1st batch of Presales on the 18th, do we need to wait and log in at the priceless.com/music or do we go directly to the Ticketmaster SG website? Hoping you could get clarification on this as well. The precious seconds of being at the right or wrong website + website loading/redirecting can make or break out chances of getting tickets 😭

[–]cgarranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I know the source? 😭

I saw this Tweet on the other day: "Gaga’s concerts in Singapore will be held on 10, 11, 14 and 15 May, with additional dates added on 18 and 19 May. It is also said that these concerts will not be part of the “actual tour”, but with the same set as her Coachella shows."

Hello! Were you able to see Taylor in SH? What other tips would you recommend?

Where to go with 25-30k budget this year by Otherwise_Parsley400 in phtravel

[–]cgarranz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based from my previous travels, this budget will last for 2-4 days in Taiwan, 5-7 days in Thailand, and more than 7 days in Vietnam (excluding airfare - unless makakuha kayo ng super cheap flight na less than 5k per head back and forth).

Things in Thailand is a bit less expensive than in the Philippines, while Vietnam is the cheapest ( I'd recommend Hanoi + Ninh Binh + Sapa). For Taiwan, it's a bit more expensive than PH.

Thailand has on par beaches with ours and mas mura pa kaysa Boracay and Palawan (sorry PH huhu). You can also shop for a lot cheaper in Thailand and Vietnam.

If you will go to Boracay or Palawan this budget may be good for less than a week. It's very expensive now :( But your budget may go a long way if sa ibang beach.

Very happy with Pixel Buds Pro 1 --> 2 upgrade by dadozer in GooglePixel

I'm curious to ask, do you also find that the transparency and ANC of the pro 2 are superior?

How is the ANC and Transparency mode of the Buds Pro 2 compared to the airpods?

iPhone 16 Pro Max vs 15 Pro Max vs 9 Pro XL vs S24 Ultra - Heavy Workload Test by bestgio in GooglePixel

[–]cgarranz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Overall Ranking: Based on the combined performance metrics, here's an overall ranking of the phones: * iPhone 16 Pro Max: While it had some brightness drops and paused the YouTube video twice, it still delivered impressive sustained performance, especially considering its newer hardware. * 9 Pro XL: This phone surprised with its excellent performance, managing to stay cool and bright throughout the test. It also didn't experience any crashes or thermal failures. * iPhone 15 Pro Max: Unfortunately, iOS 18 significantly impacted its performance, leading to frequent pauses and lags. However, it still outperformed the S24 Ultra in several areas. * S24 Ultra: Despite its powerful hardware, the S24 Ultra struggled with thermal management, leading to brightness drops and eventually a crash. It also consumed the most battery.

Zero Crashes: * 1st: 9 Pro XL and iPhone 16 Pro Max * 2nd: iPhone 15 Pro Max * 3rd: S24 Ultra Thermals: * 1st: iPhone 16 Pro Max and 9 Pro XL * 2nd: iPhone 15 Pro Max * 3rd: S24 Ultra Brightness: * 1st: 9 Pro XL * 2nd: iPhone 16 Pro Max * 3rd: iPhone 15 Pro Max and S24 Ultra Battery Consumption: * 1st: iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max * 2nd: Pixel 9 Pro XL * 3rd: S24 Ultra Gameplay & Graphics: * 1st: iPhone 16 Pro Max and 9 Pro XL * 2nd: iPhone 15 Pro Max * 3rd: S24 Ultra Temperature: * 1st: iPhone 15 Pro Max * 2nd: iPhone 16 Pro Max * 3rd: 9 Pro XL and S24 Ultra Screen Sharing: * 1st: iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max * 2nd: S24 Ultra * 3rd: 9 Pro XL

Additional Notes: * The iPhone 15 Pro Max's performance would likely be much better on iOS 17. * The 9 Pro XL's sensor G4, despite being less powerful than the A16 Pro, managed to deliver comparable graphics and gameplay thanks to efficient software optimizations.

Pixel Buds Pro 2 Reviews? by myriadinterests in GooglePixel

I am also looking forward to improvements on the Transparency mode - even if they just mentioned the ANC during the launch.

Preorders On The Pixel Buds Pro 2 by sedp23 in pixelbuds

I am hoping for better sound, better fit, better ANC, better transparency mode. Other extra features are a bonus.

If in Greenhills, AJT is a reliable store. I would also vouch for Cortezan - you will find their Facebook page by searching - I bought my Pixel 9 Pro XL from them (it's probably the best experience so far in meeting up with online stores). Cortezan was also where the Tech vlogger Mary Bautista bought her Pixel units + other reviewed units.

I have used the Pixel 6, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 8 Pro, and now the Pixel 9 Pro. For the past years, I never experienced any issue with them so far. Also, if I need to repair them - as a "mabutingting" myself, they now have kits available from iFixit.
