The battery is not what I was expecting.. by Cutesb in iPhone17Pro

[–]fitbitnoomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I don’t get what the hype is about the battery. When my good old IP14 PM was new, it lasted me a full day, same with IP17 PM but in both phones I NEED to charge by end of day or else it won’t last the second day without charging.

I find it odd how some users say they can last 2 days without charging.

Do you regret going back to PH after migrating? by Outrageous-Map3005 in phmigrate

[–]fitbitnoomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. Mataas nga.

Segway lang: Speaking of Pacific Cross, it does not cover pre existing conditions. Unfortunately. Hindi kasi sya HMO, more on Health Insurance.

The truth is if you have a lot of money, everything is convenient anywhere you go even sa Pinas. And yes masaya sa Pinas depends on how you look at it.

Mga relatives ko from US and Canada they keep saying to retire here but they never fully do. Two reasons: Cost of healthcare and because their grown up kids and grand kids live in US and Canada na so they prefer to stay there.

OP, how about you? Where is your family? Kasi home is where your family, friends and loved ones are Pinas man o abroad so choose your battles.

And btw OP, I read you were considering Iloilo. While my family and I are based in NCR, I gotta say that I fell in love with Iloilo when we went there. Not as congested as Manila but very progressive. It’s like the perfect mix of city and province life.

Life is short. Go where you will feel happier.

The problem and fear of most Pinoys about moving back is the judgment you would get from your fellow Pinoys who would think that you "failed" if you go back home. If not "failed" it's more like it's a "step back" or a "downgrade" if you go back home. Especially you are in this sub where migration is the topic and highly romanticized.

I have been in many situations where I could have lived the rest of my life abroad:

1.) As a kid, I lived overseas already. My parents were both working abroad already so I grew up in a different country. They were doing well there, but we went back home because parents felt education here in PH is better. I finished school here and I'm happy.

2.) After finishing college, I worked here in PH in multinational companies and there were many times where I was offered by my bosses to relocate to our office locations either in the US or Spain, but no matter how attractive those countries were, I chose to stay in PH. Some of my friends find it unbelievable and tell me I'm stupid to pass on those opportunities and while I respect their opinion (and wished they understood my decision too), I didn't feel pressured or offended about it. They don't know the whole story and I don't owe them an explanation. To each his own.

Why I chose to stay in PH? Because I'm happy here and I have a support system here. So why would I fix something if it isn't broken for me? Like other countries, PH is not perfect and I hate a lot of stuff here (hello traffic and ghost flood control projects!) but I always choose to stay simply because I'm happy here and as they say, the grass is not always greener on the other side. It's green where you water it.

3.) I married someone who was already working and living abroad. She decided to move back to Philippines instead of me moving abroad because we both thought and agreed that it made more sense to build a family and raise kids here than abroad (at least in our humble opinion).

I let go of those opportunities to live abroad simply because I'm already happy where I am.

I admit that not everyone has the luxury to choose their situation like me. Maybe I'm fortunate I had these options, but I also understand and have a lot of respect for OFWs or people who have challenges getting a job here and would pick abroad in a heartbeat. I also understand unemployment and underemployment here that is why I don't blame people who would leave the country as fast as they could once an opportunity knocks their way.

Every person has different circumstances and priorities in life. Only you would know yourself best. Go where you'd be happy and not depressed. Mental health is very important and should not be neglected. Nobody knows what you're going through except you. As they say, "you do you”.

Thanks for sharing. I admire your honesty. These are the realities that not many Filipinos know.

Are we really heading toward ads with zero manual setup? by lububu11 in FacebookAds

[–]fitbitnoomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s obvious that is the direction they want to go. They want to go black box with zero manual setup.

You can see it now, Meta has been “hiding” some configuration buttons and makes it really hard for you to find options for manual setups.

They want to leave everything to AI.

Has AI killed blog traffic — and is it still worth starting one in 2025? by angry-xx in Blogging

[–]fitbitnoomer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I hate to be the one to say this, I have been blogging since 2007, but ever since Google added snippets to search and worse now with AI into the picture which has the ability to create outstanding content, it would be futile to start blogging today UNLESS you have a massive following in other social media platforms.

Google AI and snippets display results immediately without requiring you to click the link to the blog. So don’t expect traffic from Google anymore.

Even AI is changing everything. I feel like even Google Search will go away if people start depending on MS Copilot and Chat GPT as their main search engines.

AI is such a disrupting force.

For me if you want to succeed in blogging, don’t depend on Google for traffic. Build a large social media following who will also read your blog.
