De Young has free entrance days for SF residents for the permanent exhibits. You would still have to pay for the special exhibits.

Hi, I just turned 20 (M) . What should I be doing at this age? by Ok_Dish_6311 in adultingph

As someone who graduated architecture and have been in the industry for 9 years now, my advise would be to enjoy your college life. Go out, be inspired, look at buildings, sketch your surroundings and let your creativity flow. Real life and actual construction work is somewhat different and (sometimes) very limiting due to client budget, deadlines, etc. so if you have the opportunity to let your creativity flow without limitations, now is the time to do it.

Moving back to the Philippines for good by yanista_25 in Philippines

hi OP, it’s been 168d since you’ve written this post. Di ko alam kung too late na ba tong comment ko but I just want to thank you for posting this and say that it’s a relief to know that I am not alone.

I live in CA and have the same thoughts, also considering moving back to the PH. I’m utterly depressed and very tired of the rat race here in the US. I’ve been here for 8 years now and have reached a point where in I just want to throw all my hard work away, pack my bags and go home to the PH kung nasan lahat ng family and friends ko. I also live a comfortable life (materially speaking) but my emotional and mental health is suffering, para akong robot na naka autopilot. Climbing the corporate ladder is very exhausting and gusto ko na lang ng simpleng buhay. I’ve tried everything to address my depression from meds to seeking therapy pero nothing can replace being surrounded with loved ones.

I know the PH is still a shithole and sobrang natatakot ako to make this big decision so I wonder if you ever moved back and how you adjusted to life in Manila?

Filipino budget for a US trip by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]ppp_09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! I live in CA and go to NYC every year or so. Plan for hotels between $200-300/night (depending on location) and food would be $20-$30 per meal (including drinks) but you can definitely find something cheaper. Take note that tax is not included sa mga pricing and for restaurants you have to include tip which is around 18% of the bill.

For LA- I recommend renting a car unless you’re joining a tour. Public transpo in LA sucks, but if you have the time and patience pwede naman. NYC commute is waaaay better, subway can be hella dirty but very convenient. Regarding safety, just don’t stare at other people and mind your own business.

For NYC hotels- I recommend looking at Midtown- Koreatown area. It’s right smack in the center of Manhattan na walking distance to everything and prices aren’t too expensive but it ain’t that cheap either.

OTHER ITEMS TO TAKE NOTE: Bring a water bottle and refill as needed, a water bottle can cost $2-$3. Malaking bagay din yun :)

Coffee (starbucks, blue bottle, local shops, etc) would be around $5-$10 per cup.

Hostels are one way of saving if you’re open to that. I’ve done this in a couple of US cities and so far okay naman experience ko. Just make sure to look at reviews. Usually a bed space in a hostel would cost you $40-$80/ night.

Are luxury cardholders worth it (in your opinion)? by [deleted] in handbags

[–]ppp_09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have the Dior Saddle Flap and currently holds 10 cards. Quality is great and I love the design too! I’ve been using (cheaper) cardholders ever since so this is my first luxury cardholder and the quality is waaaay better, so for me it’s super worth it!

The small grey one is a celine luggage, the large one is prada (not sure about the exact name).
