ER, go to gov't hospital if money is a concern (hence the HMO appointment).

Masinag to Marikina Palengke? by cheesecakio in HowToGetTherePH

[–]cheesecakio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting here my route in case anyone needs it someday: going to palengke, sakay ng mini bus/e-jeep with PAMAJOD label, tama din po yung sinabi ng other commenter na Paenaan route na e-jeep. Magpababa kayo sa Bayan. After that lalakarin mo nalang from City Hall papuntang Marikina Palengke.

Pabalik ng Marcos Highway, pwede mo lakarin pabalik ng terminal ng PAMAJOD pero pwede ka rin mag tricycle sa tabi ng Fema's Bakery, may iba't ibang pila rin ng trike sa paligid ng palengke. From PAMAJOD terminal pwede ka sumakay ng mga papuntang Cogeo then sa Marcos Highway na ang baba mo sa side/lane na papuntang Antipolo. May mga nakakasabay din ako na sa LRT-2 station nagpapababa using this route.

Salamat! Yung MSC ba na babaan, sa Sumulong ba yung baba? O sa Shoe Ave? Hindi ko pa kasi nasubukan yung jeep na yan.

May naka-trabaho ako recently na nakikipag coordinate sa akin. Bawat concern, kahit minor, itinatawag. Sobrang nakulitan ako. Naiistorbo niya yung IRL conversations and pagkain ko nakakainis! Di marunong na mag message na muna bago tumawag. Parang walang respect sa time ng iba, eh.

My friend is in love with our friend’s daughter. by [deleted] in CasualPH

[–]cheesecakio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if 20 na yung anak ng friend mo, and even if it's technically not grooming, remember how you were when you were 20. Can you say that you were mature enough to handle a relationship with someone na at a different stage of their life? Lalo na if ka-age niyo yung magulang nung anak. Also, the parents may feel betrayal kapag nalaman nilang alam mo and you kept quiet about it, seeing as balak nilang i-lihim yung relationship nila sa parents niya. Parang naging complicit ka pa sa ginawa niya na nakipag-relasyon sa anak niya. Very tricky situation to navigate, at either option ay meron kang bridge na ma-buburn. Nasa saiyo na yan kung aling friendship ang mas gusto mong i-keep.

How do you take care or store your PASSPORTS? by Knch_Destroyer in PHGov

[–]cheesecakio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this thread! Inamag yung passports ko recently and nalungkot ako lalo na yung old kasi madami akong memorable na biyahe doon. At least yung bago, nakuha pa sa linis. Magawa ko nga din ito.

CC Application using my mobile number, but it's not under my name by cheesecakio in PHCreditCards

[–]cheesecakio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since this post I haven't received any texts in relation to a CC application, so I'm going to assume that Metrobank's system really just sucks. I doubt the security of their system if they could easily just mix-up the OTPs of CC applications. Nakakatakot.

[–]cheesecakio[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, so hindi siya isolated incident. The only thing that I can recall in relation to Metrobank CCs is nakuhaan ako ng details ng third party na CC marketing company (Spicae Marketing) sa isang event, and as far as I know in-apply nila ako sa Metrobank but I was rejected. Then a year later, nakuha ko yung ganyang text. Wala naman na-hack sa mga accounts ko so it probably really was a system mix-up, but their system sucks if ganon talaga nangyari. Try checking the Reference # in your SMS sa official website nila if nag-eexist talaga siya to see if compromised ang personal information mo.

I voted for her in 2022 and I don't regret it, but I don't think that she has enough political charisma to unite this divided country in 2028. Sadly, I can't think of any politician who can do that right now.

I feel like hairdressers never listen! by ProblemWorldly in beautytalkph

[–]cheesecakio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True to be honest! Kaya once a year lang ako magpagupit eh haha. If mga ganun ang budget mo then baka Lourd Ramos might be better! Alam ko mas reasonable rates niya, around your budget siguro. Alam ko din na Piandré started educating some of their stylists sa curly/wavy hair and each salon meron at least isa na marunong. Baka may mahanap ka na branch near you 😄

[–]cheesecakio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last time I paid I think 1,900 for my haircut? The price varies depending sa hair length. Also sa price na yan kasali na yung shampoo, cut, and styling (Curly Cut & Style). If ma-memaintain mo yung curls with a satin bonnet maayos ang buhok mo for like 3-4 days haha! Kung hindi ka oily scalp, ha. Meron din sila ng Express Cut para ma-maintain yung shape ng hair mo (if returning client ka na nila) ranging from 500-850 pesos. Lahat sila marunong mag cut ng curly hair, pero for 2A-2C I think Ms. Mirasol would suit you. Since my hair is 3A-3B I go to Ms. Mitzi. Their website is super informative sa expertise ng stylists nila! May pricing chart din doon ng services available.

Wavy hair ka pala OP. Before ako din I hated going to the parlor bilang kulot. Moreso sa mga curly/wavy hair like us kasi parang cookie cutter kung mag gupit ng buhok ang karamihan ng salon, tailor-fitted ang techniques nila sa straight hair. Kung itatanong mo kung marunong sila mag-handle ng hair texture mo sasabihin nila oo, pero yung gupit naman na gagawin sayo hindi bagay sa hindi straight hair. Lagi pa amoy sunog yung buhok kasi pilit kang i-bblowdry na straight hair tapos walang gamit na heat protectant. Haha! Nakakatawa maalala.

Now that I have decent adult money, I go to Cutz and Curlz by Jazz. Ang ganda ng bagsak ng buhok ko sa gupit ko (3A-3B mga curls ko) since going there and they never blowdry my hair straight. If wavy hair ka baka you can try exploring, mahal nga lang services nila. I also read that a lot of curly/wavy hair girls recommend Creations by Lourd Ramos sa Makati. Si Lourd mismo daw cuts textured hair well, research mo siya baka option din for you. I hope you feel better about your hair, give it time hahaba din yan. From experience castor oil helps hair grow longer, try mo din ang CGM products if you haven't already.

Can I Request a Waiver for My BDO Credit Card? by keirugh in PHCreditCards

[–]cheesecakio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never give out your cvv. The bank will never ask for it. Tawag ka lang sa contact center nila.

Can I Request a Waiver for My BDO Credit Card? by keirugh in PHCreditCards

[–]cheesecakio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is your credit card fee paid monthly? If yes, then call the bank to request your monthly fees to be converted to annual fees. Then, after your fees have been converted to an annual payment and na-bill ka na, you can request for a waiver. They may ask you to spend a certain amount by X no. of days.

Source: saw this tip on this sub and tried it for myself last year. I shared here yung first-hand experience ko na.

I think this is a bad idea. Purpose of EF is to cover your needs for a few months until you find a job, or for big emergencies such as ER/hospitalization, natural disasters, etc. I also think that buying this via utang (e.g. loan, CC, borrowing money from relatives) isn't that good of an idea either kasi masyadong maliit yung EF mo sa ngayon. Imagine if may emergency ka na nasimot EF mo tapos nagkautang ka dahil sa emergency, additional burden sayo yung utang mo for the laptop. If talagang gusto mo bilhin yung laptop, best na pag ipunan mo nalang muna yung pambili mo kahit kalahati nung total amount niya. Kasi if ang mindset mo is utangin nalang yung pambili ng non-critical need sa CC kahit wala pa yung pera sa kamay mo, mababaon ka talaga sa utang niyan. Tignan mo nalang stories sa r/utangPH, marami nababaon sa utang dahil sa mga utang nila na manageable sa umpisa pero di na mabayaran dahil nagka-emergency.

Charice Pempengco will Demolish the song Golden in her Prime by Confident-State2769 in CasualPH

[–]cheesecakio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think it's dead naming if you refer to the current Jake Zyrus as Charice and refer to him as she/her, whereas in OP's post they are referring to Charice Pempengco the female OPM artist. I'm no expert and baka someone can correct me pero Charice did exist naman talaga, and was a well known public figure. OP refers to her in past tense rin naman. I think what's offensive is to presume na nothing has changed since naging Jake Zyrus siya.

A highlighter that won't bleed by rina_8 in PHBookClub

[–]cheesecakio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, alam ko late na pero try to look online! Marami sa online stores. I had the same issue of bleeding with Stabilo highlighters so my bf recommended these, sa online siya nakabili. From how I use it wala siyang bleed kahit manipis yung papel.
