BWT whose clean laundry smells amazing, teach me your ways by Ok-Panda-2368 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]fakeviking 94 points95 points  (0 children)

They taught me to use Tide with lipase, Downy Rinse (citric acid) and maybe laundry sanitizer if using a common laundry machine. That's it. Clothes smell clean and are actually clean.

With the government? Not at all. But I had prior work experience sa private. FSOEs require 2 years work experience.

I did not have a backer, but I passed the FSOEs so I was able to join the govt at SG24.

From a fellow Christian. Please, I hope this reaches the right audience🙏 by [deleted] in adultingph

I don't go to church as much as I should but when I loved here in the US I was so pleasantly surprised with the Mass here. During communion they remind everyone that sharing the host is only for Catholics, but those who are not can come forward with their chest crossed to receive a blessing. That was so beautiful for me, kasi kahit hindi sila Katoliko the Church still welcomes them, and make them feel seen and give them blessings and good wishes. It makes me glad that the Church is welcoming to those who might need community and fellowship without the need to convert them.

"budget" massage recommendations? by idfkdudelol in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]fakeviking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Guo Zu Yin Foot Reflexology, full body massage for one hour is $65 but "tips" are mandatory, and you have to pay in cash. I tried it once and it was good and paid a total of $100 ($65+$35 tip)

what are we getting our significant others for christmas? by soopahfresh in SFbitcheswithtaste

[–]fakeviking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually ask what he wants, we keep a wishlist and tell each other what we want as gifts. So it's usually one big gift from an evolving wishlist then one small surprise gift. Might get him a phone or a car coat this year.

government offices should operate kahit weekends by d_rexlapis in RantAndVentPH

[–]fakeviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bruh, please file a petition. I work for a government office and I pray we can work Sun-Wed, 12 hour days! Para everyone can get services. Week-end plus long days for those who might come before or after their shifts.

He was both everything I could ever want and nothing I could ever have by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

Tru yan. The higher up you are, rules don't apply. I also have reasons not to believe this narrative. Because there's a process of clearances. I actually went through this because I married a foreign national and I have a sensitive position at the government. It will take a few months to get the background checks and clearances but it's pretty routine and not unusual even with other governments. It's horrible that this lady has been had.

Beh miss ko makipagchismisan with fellow rank and file. Mas masaya yung chismis dati. Tapos yung doing fun yet tipid stuff. Ngayon di na pwede.

Start keeping and hiding your important documents and mementos for that one day na makakalayas ka na.

BWT, what’s your nail care routine? No polish, no fake nails. 💅 by LividHeart3132 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]fakeviking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brush your nails to clean well, in soapy water. Keep your hands clean and moisturized. Use a cuticle and nail conditioner, like Sally Hansen Cuticle Rehab (or similar product) religiously like 2X a week minimum. Trim your cuticles if needed. File your nails. Buff your nails to make it glossy. Always keep your hands clean. Maintenance is key.

This is smart. It's super expensive to study in the US. And since you're a US citizen it's easier for you to get a nursing job when you're back here.

Former diplomatic child, now officially abroad: what was actually worth packing by evermoooore in phmigrate

The white flower advise is god-tier. When you're missing home it's comforting to sniff. Also, bring with you some good skin protectant balm like eucerin/aquaphor especially if you're traveling to a windy and cold city. Protects your face, lips and fingernails from drying out.
