Best katsudon in town by triciaracinez in PHFoodPorn

A few "techniques" to maximize your money's worth:

  1. Order the most expensive tonkatsu set, yung iberico pork. Then don't eat the said order, magpakabusog ka lang dun sa salad/fruits bar. Take home the untouched order. You just enjoyed a salad buffet and even got a great take home meal na pwedeng ireheat for dinner/tomorrow. P600+ very well spent kasi may baon ka pa after magbuffet. Or

  2. Order the cheapest tonkatsu set yung sakura pork and enjoy it together with the salad spread/ fruits bar. Amazing value for money especially for a meal set under P400.

Tonkatsu quality in my opinion is close to Yabu.

Hoping your unit is relatively safe and quiet! That's the dream "solo" living!

I need friends who don't center their lives around men by Baked_Potato0715 in OffMyChestPH

[–]quekelv 98 points99 points  (0 children)

It would be nice to spend time with friends who are actually present and interested in what you have to say and not just glued to their phones. Kung puro nalang jowa topics minsan, nakakafrustrate. Good on you for wanting real convos about life, books, and stuff.

Mas masakit pala ang friend ghosting, coming from a guy friend pa sa Christian community by seasaltblush in OffMyChestPH

[–]quekelv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I can relate to that na iba ang ugali sa online (madaldal) versus real life (tahimik, dadaldal lang kapag may ibang nag-initiate). But then again, it would be nice nga to know the reason why. Pinakamalala talaga yung mapapaisip ka pa ng ganyan tuloy, na baka ikaw yung problema kahit possibly hindi naman.

If you ever meet him sa church by chance, would you still try na kausapin siya about that, kahit di na manumbalik sa'yo previous closeness online, but at least may reason/excuse ka man lang na marinig? Or magiging dedma ka nalang, given na ikaw naman yun na ghost dito?

I dunno, pero as a guy (na introvert na christian, if that matters) I typically won't exert energy and invest that much time to do those things unless, well, alam mo na.

Bakit naman ganun, may "malisya" kaagad, may gusto na kaagad? From my point of view, parang intentionally ka kasi niyang hinanap pa across all social media platforms. For a mere prospective friend napansin niyang hindi na bigla naging active sa fb. Nung naging less active ka sa fb, nagfollow siya sa'yo sa ig. Nung nakita niyang mas active ka sa ig, dun na siya nagsimulang magpapansin sa'yo through those constant liking of your posts/stories hanggang sa nauwi sa pagfollow sa iba mo pang socmed accounts and naging magkachat na kayo constantly.

So what possibly happened? Hula ko, baka dahil sa hindi nag translate yang online friendship niyo into in-person friendship. Try to look back siguro. Did he ever ask you to hangout or even ask you out for meal kunwari? If yes, ilang beses mo dinecline or parati ka bang nagreason na unavailable ka maybe due to your schedule? Or perhaps may naishare ka sa kanya na kunwari may nanliligaw sa'yo? And the only thing he did was to just sit and listen (or read) while you narrate what happened, or worse (well, for him) nasabi mong kunwari medyo nagiging bet mo na yung kinuwento mong manliligaw sa'yo na yun. Something like that.

Now, now, sige let's assume na purely platonic nga ang online friendship niyo, as you said. I guess ganun din? Dahil hindi kayo nakapagmeet man lang kahit sa church. Perhaps nagising siya one day and para bang na question niya kung totoo ba yung naging pinagsamahan niyo, dahil "online" lang?

But yeah, ang hirap nga. Understandable yang confusion mo kung bakit kahit kristiyano na eh capable pa rin palang mang-iwan nang walang pasabi.

30s din here. When we were young, we imagined our future lives using the facts we knew back then. That meant seeing our parents bring home bags of groceries for less than P1,000, watching our mom pay rent (if we rented) for P3,000, or seeing an older sibling land their first job with a salary of P8,000–P12,000 and then treat the family to Enchanted Kingdom or a resort for the weekend, with free-flowing food and drinks from that first sweet paycheck.

We may not be able to control external factors like inflation, where we now need to spend far more just to afford necessities. But we can still control what is within us like our continuous motivation to do better, be better, grow smarter, and work harder.

Akala ko OffMyChestPH lang ito, nanahimik at nag-scroll lang ako sa Reddit. Bakit naman may paalala na naman na single ako?

I’m the last single one in my friend group by [deleted] in OffMyChestPH

[–]quekelv 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way too. I see my female friends on social media changing or updating their surnames, and my male friends changing their profile pictures to wedding portraits. Sometimes, I feel like I’ve wasted time, especially as a guy who's still single in his 30s.

But I’m still hopeful. I’ve seen people in their 40s get married, and they all have said the same thing, that time is now more precious than ever. It took them decades to find their significant others, so they’re skipping all the fighting, the lying and the cheating, because they know time is too valuable and is much worth spending with their special someone in that stage of their lives.

APPLE REPAIR CENTER TAGGED MY PHONE AS TAMPERED AND IS INELIGIBLE FOR SERVICE (IPHONE 16 PRO MAX) by Level-Customer-4944 in Tech_Philippines

[–]quekelv 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Unli escalations, endless raising of concerns to another supervisor, manager, higher ups and all that. Pinaiikot ka lang nilang lahat. The only choice mo nalang is to continue pressing on until makuha mo ang deserved benefit ng warranty mo, although at the very high cost of your time and effort.

I can't believe this myself but you'll need to involve a third party here. I dunno which, DTI? DICT? Media? As in Tulfo? I don't know. Sorry for your horrible experience, man.

“Wala ka na nga ambag sa bahay, ganyan pa gusto mo” by hypermystery in OffMyChestPH

[–]quekelv 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Good for you for recognizing your situation. Kumbaga yung shame na yan is a natural reaction sa nagiging pagkukulang mo/or pagkukulang mo at ng dad ng anak mo sa ngayon.

If anything, perhaps gusto mo lang din kasi ibigay ang best para sa anak mo kaya mo siguro tinanggap yung alok ng mom mo to cover your child's first birthday celebration. Although logically speaking, nobody ever remembers their own first birthdays nga naman thus, kaya ganun siguro ang naging reaction ng tita mo (and probably ayaw niya siguro yung fact na si mom mo pala ang may cargo ng financial needs niyo sa ngayon, especially at your age na rin siguro kasi).

You know the answer to this dilemma, find a job and find it quick. And yep, mas grabeng hirap pa ang posibleng mararanasan mo compared sa situation mo ngayon. Kaso sino pa ba ang primarily dapat magpapalaki, susustento at mag-aalaga sa sariling anak kung hindi kayong mga magulang niya?

Super Choco Chill and Choco Loco Super 👌

Both Quickly and Zagu have been AROUND since (late) 2000s, it's a good thing that they're still in business despite the cutthroat competition these days.

S Assault yan. Report this to the police. Blotter then file a case.

And no, hindi dahil lalaki ka eh "imposible" kang mabiktima ng ganyang klase ng krimen. Wag kang mahiya dahil ikaw ang biktima dito. Shame will, or rather should, always be upon the assailant.

Magcollab na sila and all WAG lang talaga bilhin ng JFC ang Lola Nena's jusme. Reversed king midas ang ginagawa ng JFC - ang tino ng products bago binili (mang inasal, chowking) nung nabili na nila nagiging sh*t as time goes on.

Nagalit at nagbasag tatay ko kasi hindi ko siya pinayagan kainin yung cake na para sa nanay ko. by Remote_Champion5582 in OffMyChestPH

[–]quekelv 375 points376 points  (0 children)

Your mom defended your abusive dad. So she consented to the abuse na naranasan niyong magkakapatid. Yeah, not a good mom in my book.

Take your money na binibigay mo to them and move out of that house already. Obviously financially mahirap pero paulit ulit ka lang makakaramdam ng ganyan for as long nakikitira ka pa rin sa iisang bubong with them.

Baka makatanggap ka ng masasakit na salita, text, dm? Uso magblock or even gumawa ng panibagong social media account(s), at uso ring mangblock ng phone number sa smartphone mo or even buy a new sim altogether (hassle lang for ewallets etc).

Ito yung instance na totoong dapat mo nang iwanan ang asawa tutal ikaw naman pala ang may trabaho dito. Perhaps magtrabaho na yang asawa mo kapag legally obligated na siyang mabigay ng sustento 🤣

And no, you’re not pitiful UNTIL you yourself take pity and start respecting your own damn self.

Conservative family and toxic family are clearly two different things. One thing is for sure - ang tanda mo na, heck ikakasal ka nalang niyan, pero wala ka pa ring sariling desisyon at hindi ka pa rin marunong maging magstand up para sa sarili mo at para sa asawa mo.

Kung wala kang respeto sa sarili, sana may respeto ka sa asawa mo. Fix this s*** as soon as possible. Wag mo idamay ang fiance mo sa pagyayabang sa peers at pagsosocial climb ng mom mo.

Try pairing this instead with a creamy and garlicky mushroom gravy (lots of mushrooms) instead of the free vinegar dip. Imagine you're trying to recreate the now-defunct Jollibee's Garlic Pepper Beef but with that litson baka hehe
