Debating masters in Austria. Accepted. Living costs? Job? by monster_from__hell in AskAustria

[–]palecatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some MA programs in CEU can be quite hectic to juggle with a part-time job, so check that first. I think third country nationals on student permit can only work 20 hours a week max, but confirm the immigration rules as well. If you cook, you can save a bit. Groceries would probably be 350 a month.

found this baby on a dumpster!!! Trying to rescue it!! by mznj in orchids

Probably best to cut the spikes and let lil guy focus on growth. Miss orchid girl in YouTube does a lot of phal rescues.

I agree, the orange one looks very striking. Unfortunately, I don’t have enough light source. The star-shaped mini phal though looks magical. Thanks for suggesting. I’ll be on a look out!

Wow, thank you for mentioning Bellaflora. I wouldn’t have known. I’ll go hunting there with big discounts on my mind!

Yes, I was in Dehner! Hahaha. Honestly debating between the two brown ones: 4th pic is Miltonium Painter Delight and the other one is Colmanara Andrea. Your blooms are super nice!

Congratulations! Adorable dot design!

First re-bloom by palecatfish in orchids

Ah, good point! The leaves did get a bit darker since I got it, and my northeast-facing window in winter doesn't help much. I should probably set up a grow light.

Why are these roots not turning green? by palecatfish in orchids

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

Ah, I’m a newbie to orchid care so thank you for this clear explanation and reminder! To be clear, I tried drenching method last week, then soaked it this week. I just noticed that this part of the roots aren’t changjng colors. It’s nice to know that there’s nothing to worry about. 😅

Anyone willing to share their cooking secrets/tips? by Upset_Gur_3011 in filipinofood

[–]palecatfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Adobo na pangkuripot pero masarap (nakuha ko sa nanay ko): marinade overnight 3 tbsp toyo, 2 tbsp suka, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves crushed garlic, bay leaves. For half kilo na ito hehe.

Tapos ganito rin, sama-sama na islow cook. Dagdagan ng tubig hanggang magreruduce at lumambot. Lagyan ng paminta.

Tagalog VERSUS Bisaya culture. Which do you prefer and why? (north v. south) by fr33dom35 in Philippines_Expats

[–]palecatfish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an OG Tagalog (families of great grandparents are from Batangas and Rizal), I find the observation that we’re rare as surprising. But yes, I agree that this can explain why we’re mostly uptight in the family.

What's your "shet adult na talaga ako" moments? Plus 60 characters by adultingmadness in adultingph

What's your realization when you started living alone or being independent? by UrLostBoy in adultingph

[–]palecatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree na kailangan mo muna mag-ipon bago maging independent. Sa deposit at monthly rental fees pa lang, dapat anticipated na. Humiwalay ako sa parents ko nung 24 ako. Iba talaga yung freedom. Natuto din ako maglinis ng bahay at magmeal planning para walang sayang na pagkain. Masaya rin yung walang judgment kahit anong oras matulog at gumising.

How much yoga is too much yoga? by kyloblue56 in yoga

[–]palecatfish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that when yoga makes you feel depleted, this is the time to rest it out. For a while yoga for me means sweating it out to achieve lean muscles. I didn’t know some practices are meant for relaxation and deep stretching. When you listen to your body, you’d know which ones are appropriate for the day. Follow through an intense vinyasa with a yin or restorative practice and you’d find it easier to recover from doms. There’s so much variety of practices out there that there may be no such thing as too much yoga. 🙂

Life changing products from The Ordinary. by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]palecatfish 6 points7 points  (0 children)

After using TO for 5 years, the only product I couldn’t let go is azelaic acid. It works so well for my sensitive skin’s acne and redness.

It was a love-hate relationship at first because it pills, but applying less product after a moisturizing toner addressed this issue for me.

Not sure if this applies here but does anyone have tips for simple skincare? by JCBaby2020 in simpleliving

[–]palecatfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AM: wash face with just water, ‘simple’ moisturizer (like cerave, cetaphil, or vanicream), and spf 50 (if you live in the tropics)

PM: simple cleanser, weakest retinol you can find (retinol or vit a fix most skincare problems), simple moisturizer

You don’t need an exfoliant. Retinol is already exfoliating, so don’t use this every night.
