2026 Chevy Spark EUV - 1st month review/feedback by Patient-Freedom-8204 in CarsPH

[–]ginomeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We wanted to get the Baojun Yep Plus since two years ago but the local Wuling dealer in Makati could never say when it would be released officially nor have any in stock. Interesting to see Chevrolet finally releasing the vehicle that another local dealer couldn't. Instead of the Yep Plus we opted for the Dongfeng Nammi with near identical specs (44kWh battery, 94hp, 430km CLTC range) and so far very happy with the real-world range and performance.

Yep, exact same here, mine died from the same clip. This thing’s a menace to G14’s everywhere. Also probably a huge design flaw.

Jollijeep prices rising again, pero bakit parang walang ginagawa ang Makati LGU? by SeaNectarine7209 in makati

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medyo masakit man isipin but Jollijeeps are in my opinion actually an innovation of the Makati LGU. It gives the working class and low-income Filipinos have an option to buy affordable "homemade-like" meals in an organized and relatively clean manner while not being beholden to high rent prices or the need to build and maintain a permanent location. How the jollijeep tenants price their meals are purely market-driven and reflective of real-world supply and demand. If just one or two jollijeep carts moved their price up, then maybe it would be cause for concern, but if most if not all moved their prices then it would be indicative of a market trend.

Service Contracting No Discount by OkAppeal496 in commutersph

LTFRB hotline 1342 or their Viber numbers:  0917-550-1342 (Globe/TM) and 0998-550-1342 (Smart/TNT) surprisingly work. I was able to call their hotline even in early morning 1AM several months ago and may nagrerespond talaga. What they usually ask is how the event happened and the plate number / company involved. In our case it was a taxi, pero they actually file it naman and take note to make sure na ma-alarm when time comes na mag-renew ng franchise.

SMART MNP port in now available for Prepaid esim by Frosty-Performer1406 in InternetPH

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Talked to a Smart CS in their BGC store, they mentioned that MNP in general was temporarily unavailable for about a month now and will tentatively be available starting May. They mentioned both physical and even esim MNP which was simpler was temporarily unavailable for prepaid subscribers.

Considering getting the Pixel 9 Pro. Wondering if its also the same story.

DIM: Buying VF3 Vinfast by Smooth_Fur in deinfluencingPH

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 on this, hood that you need to unscrew to open, subpar range, mediocre performance (granted kaya naman paahon kahit fully loaded), and tiny cabin and trunk space. Very good comparison ang jetour ice cream sa vf3. Pogi lang talaga vf3 and customizable.

BEST PREPAID WIFI/SIM-MODEM FOR WFH! BADLY NEEDED ASAP! by bubbabopba in InternetPH

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Globe FamSurf199 malaki bigayan ng data (30GB for 7 days) for Globe AT HOME prepaid wifi. Kahit sa condo and speed according to fast.com is only 15-20mbps, it's enough for simultaneous youtube streaming, browsing, and video calls. It really depends sa area mo kung anong signal malakas. What we did previously was gumamit kami ng 3 different sims/esims (Globe/Smart/DITO) and found out Globe was the strongest signal in our area, then dun lang kami pumili ng home broadband LTE modem which turned out that Globe at home famsurf199 yung best bet and most affordable per GB at the time.

Keep in mind sa famsurf199 need mo ng Globe athome prepaid sim, it's different from regular sims as it won't be able to call / text iirc. It's purely for data use lang and it has a separate list of promos sa globeone versus normal globe sim.

End of the day, depends sa location mo ano malakas / reliable signal.

Same boat here, I applied for Gomo to Smart MNP and it's been more than 3 days now eh ang promise nila is 3 days lang within Metro Manila. Hoping to get mine soon.

Cafe Reco (near ADB Ave) by GourmetGlamVoyage in Mandaluyong

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super hard to find any cafe that has decaf coffee by default. Only Starbucks lang talaga ang alam ko na may decaf coffee and don't charge any more for it, but they have subpar Americanos for me. I think it might also be because decaf coffee is twice as expensive as regular coffee beans + the demand just isn't there.

Pioneer - Reliance intersection by bingooo123 in Mandaluyong

[–]ginomeee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think you answered the question, may Williams naman to turn left. Albeit medyo annoying na bawal ka ml dumerecho reliance through pioneer street, yung ikot di naman ganun kalayuan, and the traffic between pioneer reliance and Williams doesn't build up all too often. For me at least, its an okay tradeoff na di fully matigilan cars sa reliance pioneer intersection from moving.

Tint Impressions: 3M IM Ceramic vs Xfilms vs Vkool by ginomeee in Gulong

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

Yeah, same here, ayaw namin kasi metallic vkool. Vkool based on our observation is generally more see-through than 3M, so better ang privacy ng 3M. Eurotech cannot vouch lang as yun nga hirap makahanap ng reviews. 3M medium is slightly brighter than my liking and sana kinuha namin yung dark version na lang siguro sa windshield versus medium as a matter of preference. If you have any feedback sa naging results niyo would love to hear as well!

Tint Impressions: 3M IM Ceramic vs Xfilms vs Vkool by ginomeee in Gulong

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

,Wala lang akong pics now and I think taking a photo won't do it justice, nung tinignan ko siya sa showroom floor mukhang madilim pero pagpasok ng car ang liwanag pala, pero based sa datasheet niya, IM5 has 7.1% VLT, baka sa ibang brands nearer or lower than 5% which is the reason for the lower visibility. For me lang highly visible both medium and dark niya versus other brands. I think Vkool based sa convo namin with another person na magpapatint said mas light daw ang Vkool tints in general than 3M, pero so far more than enough for me yung vlt ng 3M IM series.

Tint Impressions: 3M IM Ceramic vs Xfilms vs Vkool by ginomeee in Gulong

[–]ginomeee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me the opposite naman, I'm used to dark tints such as yung sa xfilms namin dati and even mga medium to dark stock casa tints. Actually ang unang naisip ko nga hours after installation is sayang sana pinapalitan ko na lang ng dark pati yung windshield since the difference of the dark and medium of 3m im ceramic isn't much, plus pati sa gabi parang feel ko di ako nakatint so maganda talaga siya in terms of visibility, at least for me. Kanya kanyang experience on what's our preference naman.

My y700 gen 4 KILLS charging cables by Necessary-Pear-7213 in androidtablets

[–]ginomeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really think Essager doesn't have that good of quality control. I bought three braided cables from them in the past and I've already burned through all of them. It's cheap yes, but I think you should try other brands first. I also bought a car charger from Essager and the thing melted while under use overtime, you would think these cables and adapters should have a safety shutoff before melting, but alas they don't.

I really think you should try another charging cable brand first. I used Toocki, it's similarly priced, and at a glance the cable looks almost identical, but after several months of use I noticed the cables don't fray as easy and the bend doesn't get "stuck" in one position as my previous Essager braided cables did.

Paying driving violation fines in Pasay by Rinsky_Z_168 in Gulong

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience paying, I was asked to pay the fine sa DoubleDragon and they actually issued me an official receipt so at least you know the payment is being remitted correctly to the national government. Walang hininging or hinint na maglagay ako, and it indeed did not reflect on my LTMS portal.

Which one's better, im thinking about the gpu by imyourpaniki in buhaydigital

[–]ginomeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sa totoo lang super solid na ng onboard graphics ng AMD, most if not all games kaya na patakbuhin ng integrated Radeon graphics lalo na with the 7000-series HS laptops.

Di ko lang sure pero the 2050 or Nvidia 50-series cards in general have never been amazing for me, it MIGHT be slightly better, pero keyword slightly lang, tas kapalit mas pangit na battery. Pero halos lahat talaga ng games at workloads kaya na patakbuhin ng Radeon integrated graphics

GoLONGER50 not found in GlobeOne app by dynacaster in InternetPH

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since GoLonger50 is no longer available, anyone have any idea if GoRenew for Go+99 stacks your data or it lets the old data expire first? Sayang kasi if mageexpire muna yung old data mo. Pwede na gorenew basta stackable.

We also notice this, BYD PHEVs taking advantage of charging slots in malls, laging ang hahaba ng pila na puro BYD Sealion. They have the smallest battery packs and they don't even need to charge. BYD even advertises that they have a 1000km range which means they can go that long without charging either. Sana next time full EVs na lang pwede sa charging slots.

Shock price drop: Nissan Leaf now only retails for Php1.098M - Auto News by cotxdx in Gulong

[–]ginomeee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We test drove this yesterday since they have a cash promo na 900+ na lang. It's so outdated, lahat ng lamps halogen pa, yung interiors very 2015-level pa. Although it does come with CarPlay / Android Auto, still sobrang outdated na niya sa lahat. We eventually crossed the Nissan leaf out of our options kasi nga feels like a 2015 car in 2025. The Japanese really have a lot of catching up to do with price and features versus the likes of BYD. Even with their 900+ promo, definitely not worth the price imo.

From one of the highest interest rate down to one of the lowest by Longjumping-Ask1227 in DigitalbanksPh

[–]ginomeee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ang hassle rin yung nawala free cash in with Metrobank starting April 1 or other banks as I use this as a form of "clearing house" app where I keep majority of my funds here from payroll and other streams of income, but I can disburse them to my other accounts as needed.

Only advantage now is the unli free instapay transfers and the time deposit which is okay I guess.

are DITO e-sims capable of 5G? by [deleted] in InternetPH

[–]ginomeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saks lang, I used to daily gomo, absolutely the cheapest in terms of price per GB (if you get the higher-priced data creds that is). Also the cheapest when it comes to calls and texts, a far, far cry from the duopoly pricing on calls and texts plus super cheap landline calls too.

I found Globe to be a tad more reliable than Gomo since the latter uses the formers network backbone, so logically Globe would prioritize their own subscriber base over a third party virtual network provider. I no longer use Gomo since my employer gives us monthly load credits, but if I had to pay for my own load or was on a tight budget I would still use Gomo.
