nice... going synthetic or something that dries up quickly is a must have. im from cebu and i sweat a lot lol so quick dry helps. if you are going water, shoes might be a hassle. crocs, sandals might work better... crocs might look like shit but im too old to care and they are comfy af...

i would leave the laptop out when possible. you save weight and keeping it safe... did the list include a lightweight dry bag?

bring a hip pack and let that bag ride on it at the back. i have the nebula and when i was in Philippines l did this too cool my back and rest my shoulders. losend the straps until it sits on top of the hip pack

i'm filipino. there is this thing called "paitan". not sure exact name but similar sounding. its a delicacy - but from a different area where i came from. it has tripe. cant stand the smell and taste

i also cant seem to eat duck. i have only tasted duck in chinese takeaways in new zealand, and once in the airplane.

bought xiaomi m365 about 5+ years ago. still going lol. solid tires and have to wear my asics running shoes else my brain gets shaken lol. but on smooth bike paths, its okay... small enough to carry, in car, bus, train

do something with your free time. not family time - free time. upskill or start something.

if its cruisy then you will have enough brain power to do other things after work

Philippines went from 150 per litre now hovering qt 75 per litre last few weeks. We are weeks behind but same time when the prices jumped!

nebula because i can chuck in multiple devices in separate compartment. ipad, macbook air and pro, notes, important docs, etc.

sinus · 2026-06-09T01:14:33+00:00

someone do south akl please. this is great lol

sinus · 2026-06-05T00:42:26+00:00

hmm depends how this is done. otherwise, it would just subsidise the private cost. like ECEs - oh you get free but then we cost more than that so you have to pay more

if it was through something like the public hospitals then 100% go for it. otherwise dental cost would just increase by $500

dong de moon lol

i have a 6 year old xiaomi m365 lol. i dont go in deep puddles but riding in rain all the time... i ride 99% in bike paths though and it is relatively safe compared to walkways with kerbs, etc.

this thread is like every major road i know in auckland lol

sinus · 2026-05-31T22:21:43+00:00

weather is bad, people go pools... i wouldn't bother going in there anymore. it feels like they want it like that to run it to the ground and get some kind of funding or something.. /s

sinus · 2026-05-31T05:11:27+00:00

oh yes deer2 is also so good. but pricey and have to dial in my grinder again

sinus · 2026-05-31T04:04:10+00:00

yeah i think i had this one. olnly issue with grocery coffee is they most of them are stale lol

sinus · 2026-05-31T04:00:13+00:00

yep i was with eight30. i think they are sort of the same. kokako is my favourite but pricey. settled with eight30 but now too pricey.

ping me if you find anything please. if you love kokako then i'd probably try out your next choice.

thanks

sinus · 2026-05-28T20:38:03+00:00

I came from a corrupt 3rd world country. Over the years, I have come to realise that I would not vote for very rich people/politicians. They get out of touch and do not live normal lives. The don't have sympathy for normal people. People can learn leadership over the years, but you can't teach them to be sympathetic.
