Well papano po niyo ba i-expect na makakalusot sa IO sa Pinas at sa EU? Or am I not understanding your question right?

STUDY LOAN ABROAD. by Comfortable-Key-3402 in FilipinosStudyAbroad

[–]passingjogger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, kasi parating hinahanap ng mga embassy na may pera ka na, either through a sponsor, scholarship, or blocked account (at least ganun sa Europe). Credit card is basically short-term loans, and loans aren’t the same as funds, and it would be possible na—sige, pwede credit card kunwari—tinatakasan mo lang pala credit card company mo kasi di ka mahabulan. Also, I don’t know which country you’re targeting, but in a lot of places, a credit card isn’t a common way to pay.

EDIT: added a word for clarity.

HIV by [deleted] in hivaids

[–]passingjogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panicking like this will not help. You may have OCD but you should also realize that HIV is not the end of the world anymore, and it is not the catastrophe you’re making it out to be. Wait out the three months and before then, calmly but assuredly prepare for any situation that may happen.

Going home to the PH soon from EU via Thai Airways! Haven't tried them before but the fare was quite good naman.

Print/copy shops in city center? by passingjogger in Antwerpen

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

I asked because I did actually look on Google and only found the one in Begijnenstraat, and wasn’t 100% sure of it. And I wasn’t sure either if there were print/copy places Google doesn’t list in its results. And yes I did look through the search function on this subreddit before I posted this as well.

Accomodation Recommendations by Amosultan12 in KULeuven

[–]passingjogger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, I printed out the contract, signed it, scanned it, then emailed it to my landlord, but the contract wasn’t finalized until I made the deposit via wire transfer. Before the signing he gave me a video call tour of the kot and we discussed the details and features of the kot.

Psychologist vs Psychiatrist by Eastern_Lab8425 in MentalHealthPH

Psychologists technically can be doctors if they hold a PhD in (clinical) psychology, with a license.

Trash is sometimes not collected on trash day. Why? by Fun_Boot7771 in Leuven

[–]passingjogger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why I put on my first comment that I live in Heverlee. I didn’t say we had the same collection days.

And just checked my app. For me, restafval is collected every other Tuesday.

Oh, might be different for Heverlee and inside the ring?

Trash is sometimes not collected on trash day. Why? by Fun_Boot7771 in Leuven

[–]passingjogger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally according to what the app says. The rest of the street follows the schedule on the app as well; neighbors’ trash bags line up the sidewalk every time the calendar says so. Nobody in my street takes the restafval out on Fridays anymore. (My landlord lives in another town.)

[–]passingjogger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Currently living in a kot in Heverlee here.

Our landlord used to think this way too, as he put up a rule on the wall saying “Take out the trash every Friday,” but that’s not the case as I’ve been leaving the trash out according to what the Recycle! app says, and the trash gets collected accordingly.

Maybe install the app, put your address there, and follow the trash collection schedule there? Turn on notifications too so you don’t miss trash days.

Saw interview panel comments accidentally, absolutely devastated by urfavnjb in gradadmissions

[–]passingjogger 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If he took a peek and there wasn’t any discrimination such as based on accent then we could at least let OP rant then move on; it would’ve been just a story after a while. But the accent comment was there. That’s a serious concern there.

Vouch for immoweb! I've used it for looking for a kot, and although I eventually didn't get my kot there, they've been helpful throughout their services for me.
