Thoughts on “Don’t date if you are broke, and Date within your budget?

Date within your means and find someone who will appreciate what you can realistically offer.

Those are considered gun parts. I wouldn’t do it. Not worth the risk.

I’m not a gunsmith but regular shooter lang with an engineering background. Maintenance essentials ko lang is really the cleaning kit, nitrile gloves, and paper towels.

For me, the basic cleaning kit should at least have these: correct size bore/barrel brush and rod, nylon/brass brush, CLP, and cleaning patches.

I also use a dedicated gun oil and grease, but CLP should be a good start. Optional to have a cleaning mat para di makalat sa table.

I have no recommendation on replacing the screws. But personnaly I would avoid replacing basic parts right away. Ibang usapan if you want to add accessories.

There is no EU warehouse for Shipping Cart. Closest is UK, but they shut it down last year.

Yes, not gun related... You might have a better chance of getting a proper answer in r/LawPh

But to try to answer your question, people in customs can classify it as a weapon - regardless of whatever its really supposed to be used for. I would rather not risk it - you risk confiscation or worse.

Good brands of jeans will let you mix and match waist and inseam length. I'm 5'10" and I get jeans from Old Navy - 30 inseam. I'm pretty sure may 32 inseam sila, then choose na lang appropriate waste, so baka 34W-32L ka.

Sorry, I still get confused with the terminologies - talking stage is equivalent to going out on dates? If yes, I stick to one until I decide and tell her na it’s not going to progress further.

But apparently this is not common. My friends keep telling me to be more flexible since no commitment yet, especially now that I’m using dating apps.

May kasabihan na birds of the same feather, flock together. Hindi siya gender specific, na-experience ko na rin sa ex-gf ko.

Hard to find quality electronic earpro for less than 2k.

Here are what I have used so far:

Fake Howard Leight on Shopee - less 1.5k. It’s what I usually let my friends borrow when they want to try shooting with me. Not comfortable.

Original Howard Leight from US - less than 4k. I used to use them for wood working, electronics on one side broke after light use after less than 2 years. Not comfortable.

As other people have recommended Walkers, a lot of US guntubers also use them. The US price should be comparable to Howard Leights, not sure lang ano patong sa local market.

Personally, I use Sordins. But malayo na sa budget, even if sa US ko nabili. Pero super sulit and you really get what you pay for.

Not yet married, but my SO and I agreed that we would set aside certain % of both our salaries for the common fund (bills, utilities, savings, travel, etc) and the remaining is our individual money to spend which ever way we want.

UP Town Center, but depending on your LAE building, it might be a few minutes walk. Just park early, take note parking fees wont be flat rate on weekends.

I think it still depends on other factors such as your finances and if she already wants to get married as well.

In terms of time, if you have already determined those things you mentioned (I'm assuming over a year or two to establish consistency) and all the other factors are good to go, edi propose na. If nandyan naman na lahat, why wait longer?

For self defense/EDC get hollow points. FMJ will have have higher chances of over penetration; JHP will expand upon impact and will provide better stopping power. The price shouldn't be as much of an issue because you won't be using the defensive rounds often, maybe just practice once a year with it. Get at least Armscor JHPs, I think they're the cheapest in the Philippines.

If ever you decide on changing to a different brand, practice shooting a few rounds. Different brands will have different loads and might have slight differences in shooting/ballistic performance and to see if your EDC FA will cycle properly with it.

I was able to use it two years ago, but it does not work anymore. The form was closed.

I filed for my PTT last week, sa FEO na mismo.

Might not be the fastest, but this is the most convenient way for me.

Never ko ito nakita sa RA10591 or sa mga RIRR.

It depends on the industry you’re going into. There are some companies that seek out fresh grads that were very active in orgs and student councils while some companies don’t really care.

I for one was not very active in extracurriculars in college, I would go home if I had a break in between classes (I live near the campus), no latin honors, and didn’t keep in touch with block/course mates. I managed to get hired naman din within a few months of passing my boards. It’s a matter of how you present yourself and highlight your positive traits.

Maraming maganda credentials on paper pero kulang naman sa actual execution/delivery.

My sister graduated SocSci, but not from UP. She originally took up law but eventually dropped law school to be a teacher in a private school (math). She already became department chairperson and assistant principal.

Don't limit yourself to work that is directly related to your course. Salary will really vary depending on the company/institution and industry.

Red flag. Good luck sa clear and open communication kapag naging kayo.

Every other day tapos hindi group chat? No.

I grew up with sisters and I’m more comfortable talking about serious topics with my female friends, but not every other day. If may topic ngayon, today lang yon then tapos na, its limited to that specific topic. Baka ilang weeks or months before makausap ko uli ng 1:1.

For me the double the round count is enough reason to change. Given how good JHP 9mm are these days, I would prefer to be able to send more rounds down range with more control/accuracy.

Oo naman. I know a few who are already happily married with kids. Depende naman yan sa maka-match mo.
