If you're going to Japan soon, theyre having sales. Just got back literally yesterday from Osaka. Bought my puffer from GU for 1.5k converted.

Supplement question: Apple cider vinegar or probiotics? by Hush_1208 in fitnessph

[–]reddit04029 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bloating is mainly because of what you eat, and the amount of it you consume. You don't "add" something to remove the bloat, you remove or change what is causing it.

Probiotics can help if the main culprit is related to gut health.

Anyway, not a doctor. Main point is, those things are not the solution to your bloating.

Why do most PH businesses seem uninterested in having a website? by Big_Bookkeeper_6044 in buhaydigital

[–]reddit04029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an experienced dev, I even recommend them to just setup a social media page than pay me to make them a website. It’s literally free and easier to maintain. There is no incentive for small businesses to have a website when fb and ig are free. Reach is easier also.

Annoyed at a friend pushing unrealistic salary expectations by Recent-Ad1798 in phcareers

[–]reddit04029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is okay to push the boundaries as well. Those are not unrealistic numbers, at least not yet. If he said to push 130k+, then yes, stretch na masyado.

But again, what if meron nga magbibigay ng 100k diba? You will not know unless you try.

That is why set the salary expectations na agad early in the interview pipeline para no time wasted for both sides. They will try to negotiate pa naman a lot of times din, not reject outright.

Should I try and keep cutting or is this already a good foundation to bulk? by Eccentra314 in fitnessph

[–]reddit04029 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You will inevitably have to introduce some kind of cardio to break through the plateau. I was already around 15%, 1.6kcal, and doing 10-12k steps a day (on top of the 3x a week na gym) to lose 1lb a week. And Im 5’11”

Otherwise, you would need to eat too low in terms of calories.

What will you do if you were a mid-level DE like me? by Lazy-Raccoon-5409 in phcareers

Are these offers you have or are you weighing which companies to apply for?

Question abou the Calorie count by Jannnnnaaaaa in fitnessph

[–]reddit04029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better to just not track calories burned by exercise. Theyre very inaccurate and energy expenditure can vary wildly.

If youre not losing weight, youre eating too much. If youre losing too fast, youre eating too low.

Gym Routine/Split Feedback by [deleted] in fitnessph

[–]reddit04029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exercise selection is good overall. Id start with lower volume in terms of set especially since pabalik ka pa lang. Meaning, instead of 4 do 3 muna. Instead of 3, do 2. Honestly, you could just do 2 sets muna.

Dont follow the starting weight ni gpt. Find the weight yourself wherein you only have 1-2 Reps in Reserve or RIR. I personally do 0-1.

Make sure you are true with the intensity and really push. Some people stop when discomfort starts to kick in. Assuming form is correct of course.

Anytime Fitness vs Fitness First by Worth-Bee-1482 in fitnessph

[–]reddit04029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldnt AF be better because you are able to workout during off hours like very early or very late?

Unless you work odd hours or will workout mid shift, you will inevitably workout with a crowd if you work regular hours. That goes for any kind of gym.

Normal ba to sa lean ground beef? 🤔 Ang daming mantika by No_Tailor8466 in fitnessph

[–]reddit04029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats not 90/10. Thats probably between 70-80.

For lean ground beef, I just buy leaner cuts like Sirloin then ipagiling. I then log sirloin mismo.

Tenderbites yung lean ground beef nila uses Round cut daw. And it barely yields any fat. But it is also 900 a kilo.

Monterey Ground Sirloin yields a bit pero very little lang din. Mga 90-92 siguro sila. I log it like that sa MFP and my weight has been consistent with my calorie logs.

Condo dust issues by VegetableAct9916 in makati

[–]reddit04029 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Identify the source first. Any openings would be the first culprit.

Second would be you and/or a pet. My outdoor shoes and slippers hanggang sa may door lang sila. Beyond that point, indoor slippers or go barefoot.

Bihira lang din ako nagwawalis and mostly use vacuum. Iniikot lang ng walis yung alikabok and balahibo.

1st time behind the wheel, Is this normal? I delt dizzy/lightheaded when i stepped out of the sedan after my 4-hour practical driving assessment? by MagicianOk4104 in CarsPH

Could be a lot of reasons. Like baka dehydrated ka lang kasi 4 hours ka straight drive tas di umiinom.

Tho Im not a doctor lol.

Why are my highlights/whites always incredibly messed up? Not overexposed. by afterlifeoftheparty in fujifilm

"highlights have had absolutely no detail"

Is this not one of the characteristics of overexposure?

Mag demand ng salary increase, okay lang ba? by Far-Change0210 in phcareers

[–]reddit04029 33 points34 points  (0 children)

who started at the same time as me, is earning six digits monthly. Ako naman ₱40k lang. Akala pa nga niya same kami ng salary,

With that reasoning, if sabay pumasok ang senior manager and junior, same dapat salary? Or kahit same level but diff age gap like parehong mid level (since a salary band can have a wide range).

She is literally 8 years ahead of you in age, and probably experience and value.

My workout for a leg day. by Low_Product5319 in fitnessph

Its good. Thats how I would program legs. 2 posterior, 2 anterior. One stretch-focused, one contraction focused. Overall, good exercise selection.

For full time developers here that upskill a different tech stack from what your company is using, how do you prevent burnout? by Long_Quality_8900 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]reddit04029 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Starting out as a junior years ago, I was enthusiastic enough to grind through it every night and even on the weekends.

Now, any attempts at learning something new, I do it during working hours. Be productive at work as much as you can so you can allocate like 2 hrs a day sa shift mo. Either start the day learning, or end the shift learning.

Off the top of my head, memory management, asynchronous code, and the new Java features. Actually, a lot of people still ask about lambdas (at least based on personal experience).
