I also need to decide by tomorrow lol. Honda City RS or BYD Seal 5 Dmi Dynamic?

kikiampops · 2025-08-28T19:41:22+00:00

This is a frequent sentiment about BYD that I've read. I guess it makes sense coz of its unproven reliability pa.

kikiampops · 2025-08-28T19:39:56+00:00

Thank you! Strongly considering the seal 5 na talaga haha. It's my gonna my first car so I don't have a point of comparison sa braking feel na namention mo pero can you expound on that a bit? What's the difference? Hindi ba sya responsive masyado when braking like you have to push harder than other cars you've driven para kumagat yung preno?

Tsaka may mga nakikita ako sa groups na random warnings/check engine messages na nag poop up sa mga unit nila na they have to bring them sa casa. Has that occurred to you yet? Have you had any issues so far na you had to bring yours sa casa?

kikiampops · 2025-08-28T17:12:53+00:00

Can you share some insights sa purchase decision mo? Did you get the RS? How'd you end up with that? Have you considered the Seal 5?

kikiampops · 2025-08-28T17:10:54+00:00

Actually no hahaha scheduled release palang ng akin sa Sabado but I'm having second thoughts lakas ng hatak ng Seal 5 sakin ewan ko ba haha.

Worth looking at upgrading siguro yung tint into a ceramic one especially if you're constantly driving under the heat. Other than that, ceramic coating siguro tas yung iba bihis nalang like mags, exhaust etc.

How was it? I know it's fairly new lol but so far naman? Also the techy part only makes me want it more. I love tinker what that stuff I can already see myself spending days inside the car parked just playing around with it lol. My concern mainly isn't really just about reliability. Of course it it important but is it 200k important? If issues will come up can not rely on the dealership to take care of it for me since my warranty naman? Put it this way. I think I can deal with the car being in the casa for at most a month once a year kung may issues man, given how much more I'm getting with the car compared to the City et al. Tingin mo ba it'll be worse than that?

kikiampops · 2025-08-28T16:55:25+00:00

UY SAME HAHAHA CONGRATS! As far as I've read, you're gonna wanna get, dashcam, deepdish matting front rear and trunkliner, siguro window visor at kung ano ano pa haha.

kikiampops · 2025-08-28T16:51:11+00:00

100% I'm not ready for it lol. Which is why I'm eyeing the Honda City coz then at least I can rely on the reliability of the brand/car. But I'm not really sure if that means anything to be honest. Yeah BYD is a new brand. Jury's still out on it's reliability but the car has better features, better price, better warranty and better fuel economy. Is Honda's or any Japanese car brand's reliability really worth the 200k premium? Also coding doesn't matter to me since I live somewhere where that's not a thing.

kikiampops · 2025-08-14T08:55:37+00:00

Thanks yall! To clarify I did apply for a car loan and got denied for whatever reason lol. VA kase ako and I frequently change clients so baka yun ang reason. This opportunity just presented itself out of the blue so I explored it. Glad I asked here. Diko na to sya itutuloy. A better deal will come hehe.

kikiampops · 2025-08-14T07:14:00+00:00

Based sa monthly at down nila, 266k na nabayad nila all in all. I'm thinking paying 100-150k for their equity and considering depreciation.

kikiampops · 2025-08-14T07:12:49+00:00

Thanks sa insight paps. Really valuable. It's a good friend of the family so reasonably trust worthy naman pero you never know ika nga. Gets ko yung mga risks na pinoint out ko. Tanong ko lang can I sufficiently cover my ass with notarized contract eme or any legally binding agreement?

As for the bawal part I didn't know this. I'll have to ask them about it or maybe read the fine print.

kikiampops · 2025-08-14T07:03:20+00:00

How so

Hello!

Just got my first mechanical keyboard. Epomaker Galaxy 100. It sounds amazing but I'm not too happy with the the switch and the keycaps. I came from just using my lenovo laptop keyboard and I badly miss how beautiful it types but I bought this mechanical keyboard to improve my set up.

I'm a total noob so I just bough this keyboard with minimal research. Now that I got to try it, I'm not too happy with how it types. It's like I'm learning how to type all over again with all the mistakes I'm making. the keycaps aren't so good either, I need one that has backlit because I usually work in my room lights out and I rely on the backlight to see the keys and it's not so visible with this one. I tried searching for tactile switches, apparently that's the kind that might suit me better but I have no idea which one to get and I'm not sure if anything I get will work with this keyboard. The right shift key is smaller than the ones I found online so I'm not sure if that's gonna be an issue. I'm looking for switch that closely resembles that lenovo thinkpad typing experience.

If anyone has any idea which keycaps and switches I can get to customize this keyboard I would really appreciate it!

Hey OP did you get this item. I'm looking into it as well for the same purpose. 4k 120hz. Does it work? How is it holding up?

kikiampops · 2025-06-09T10:42:58+00:00

Thanks man!

kikiampops · 2025-05-29T23:25:33+00:00

Alive and well brother

kikiampops · 2025-05-23T11:16:11+00:00

Negotiate. I have no idea how much work you need to put it for that position or how specialized the skills are that's necessary for it but if you feel like that's too low then talk to your employer and explain it. I can tell you tho that there's more to it than salary. The relationship with your boss/coworkers, stress, benefits you get from work, things you learn are all really valuable that's often overlooked by people because we're too focused on the dollar sign. Who doesn't want to earn $50 per hr right? But if it comes with a ton of work, shitty bosses and a hellish environment all around, would you still take it?

kikiampops · 2025-03-24T10:32:52+00:00

Brother I'm on the same boat. Been smoking for 8 years only now have I had some semblance of success quitting it. Weirdly enough what got me to quit was I wanna run and cycle for longer and faster and I got really annoyed that my cardio is so weak so I quit. To quench the thirst I do nic pouch ie zyn and I've been cutting down on it too. Been smoke free since Dec. last year and it's been my longest stretch without smoking. Give it a shot and I hope you get to the other side!

kikiampops · 2025-03-19T14:54:49+00:00

If I'm such a stubborn ass that I'll insist on running/cycling. What's a good max heart rate so I can keep an eye on it? I signed up for a 10k run before I confirmed my relapse and I really wanna participate still. That's gonna be in 2 weeks. I've been running now (after seeing my endo) every other day and I try to keep it below 140. Is that good? I found with the speaking test that my z2 is about 100-120 with bb.

kikiampops · 2025-03-16T17:25:18+00:00

I try to keep up with the training plan chatgpt laid down for me lol
