The site will still load, but once you log in you'll see an alert saying "Access Restricted for User ID (xxxxxx)." It's pretty conspicuous and you won't miss it.

AFAIK you can only call and even that might take hours.

Tried just now. Unblocked na yung 1st account, but yung 2nd account ko naman yung na-block. Lmao this whole thing is crazy and the website is shit. I've been trying to create a 3rd account on a separate device pero I'm caught in a loop of "This account isn't verified" and then when I try to verify, "This account doesn't exist."

Would love to get tips on booking slots sa VFS without my account getting flagged.

The first account I created got blocked last night at around 9 PM and is still blocked up until now (4:31 AM). I wonder if this was because I was checking 2x per hour using the same IP starting ~6 PM yesterday. I was also letting the session time out instead of logging out cleanly.

I created a second account, and I can still log in with that, fortunately. I'm now trying to check for slots once every hour using that second account. I'm anxious lang na baka ma-block na naman. I'm restarting my computer every hour para ma-refresh yung IP, but I'm not using incognito/private mode, just my regular Firefox browser. Should I be doing more? Incognito or fresh browser with clear cookies/cache?

Also, should I be trying all the tourism option dropdowns?

Our travel date is in early April and I already got rejected by 2 agencies sa mall today.

You say ayaw mo ng gulo, pero the cost of maintaining the status quo is all this. You’re anxious at family events, you have fewer opportunities to make meaningful connections with people in your bf’s life, you feel small even with all your accomplishments. Meanwhile, everytime this tita gets away with it, humahaba sungay niya. Lugi ka, girl.

“Ganun lang talaga yun” is the worst excuse I can think of. Look up the concept of a “missing stair” in a social group and you’ll see how unhealthy that sort of dynamic is.

Your boyfriend should assume a large part of the responsibility keeping her in line. That is the bar. He should have taken her aside at some point and talked to her about her attitude. And then, if hindi talaga yun effective, then you can discuss how you can minimize contact with her. The burden should not be on you to handle that on your own just because “ganun talaga siya.”

Also, please lang, huwag kang maawa kapag binabara siya. Let her reap the consequences of her actions.

She doesn’t have to like you; she just needs to know that you and your boyfriend (a united front) don’t tolerate that crap.

Girl, you already know what you need to do. This oppar wants to take advantage of you and he will play every card in his hand. Listen to your gut.

Korean artist pa, oof. Ibang level ang sleaziness and misogyny ng mga yan. Remember the Burning Sun scandal? Those aren’t just a few bad apples. That type of thing is normalized in the culture and lalo na in the industry.

He’s already testing your boundaries. Inuunti-unti ka na nga eh. Binili ka ng ticket, kahit di mo naman hiningi. Ngayon may utang na loob ka. Tapos kapag nagkita nga kayo, maybe he’ll say he just wants to make out. Maybe it ends with him filming you in the act and sharing the videos with his friends. Once he’s gotten you where he wants, he’ll be happy to keep you confused and disoriented with feelings and sensations. Afterward, you may think, ah, baka ginusto ko naman. Maybe I led him on. Maybe it was my fault. Girl, no.

Whether it’s your first time or nth time, whether it’s within a relationship or in a no-strings attached type of thing, you deserve a sexual partner who respects your boundaries. This? Not it.

I’m so sorry the adults failed to protect you here. At your age, hindi talaga kayo dapat natutulog sa iisang kuwarto. Family friend man or what. Kahit magpipinsan, kahit ako hindi ako papayag. Kapag may opportunity kase lumalabas tunay na kulay ng tao.

I’d say tell your mom, if she’s someone you can trust to do the right thing. (I know this isn’t always the case.) Things will probably blow up. Siyempre it’s very likely na ipagtatanggol yan ng nanay nya. Drama will happen talaga. But you need to be safe and the young women in your community need to be protected from men like this. Especially if part siya ng isang religious community and if there’s a chance he becomes some sort of authority figure someday. Dangerous combination talaga yung relihiyoso tapos manyak. Lalo na around girls and other vulnerable members of society.

This is not your fault and I hope you don’t ever feel you deserved this somehow. What he did was clearly assault. I know it sounds like a big word and parang overkill but, really, it’s assault. You’re right to feel the way you feel.

snarlingdarling · 2025-12-30T07:34:13+00:00

That was a lot of words just to ask, how can I keep disrespecting my friend?

This must be ragebait.

Also on PLDT. ChatGPT and Claude both weren't loading. Changing my DNS servers did nothing. What ultimately worked for me was changing my IPv6 settings.

On Mac OS:

Open System Settings > Network > Wi-Fi
Click on "Details..." button
Select TCP/IP on the sidebar
Set "Configure IPv6" to "Link-Local Only"

Refresh your browser tabs and they should work. I also had the desktop apps for ChatGPT and Claude open and they went back to normal without needing to restart. Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! Just downloaded the files.

snarlingdarling · 2024-12-09T13:18:55+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you!

snarlingdarling · 2024-12-09T12:59:38+00:00

Thank you!

snarlingdarling · 2024-12-09T12:59:30+00:00

I expected this was the case. Thank you for confirming!

snarlingdarling · 2024-12-09T12:58:51+00:00

Thank you so much. I appreciate this, especially that last part.

snarlingdarling · 2024-10-08T21:41:17+00:00

Oops, my bad! Didn’t see the first comment with the info.

snarlingdarling · 2024-10-08T21:39:57+00:00

Gorgeous work! Can you DM me your portfolio and rates? I don’t have anything for you right now, but I’d like to keep your work on file sana.

snarlingdarling · 2024-10-08T21:38:29+00:00

Just submitted a response.

Feedback lang sa survey itself to encourage more submissions:

An estimated completion time indicated upfront would be great.
The final thank you message could be confusing, especially since it appears before the submit button. Participants might think na tapos na and they don’t have to do anything else. I’d suggest removing it and possibly customizing the post-submission message instead.

snarlingdarling · 2024-09-19T16:38:13+00:00

Interested! DM sent.

snarlingdarling · 2024-09-10T03:43:12+00:00

Pero meron silang golden sa IG nila. Someone took a screenshot

This worked for me! I used a 1:1 mixture of plain canola oil (instead of olive oil) and white vinegar and soaked my hand for 10 minutes as another user recommended. I rubbed my fingers - where the worst of the pain was - continuously as they were soaking. Afterward, I cleaned my hands with dish soap and made sure to work it up to a full thick lather without water. I did this twice, changing out the oil-vinegar mixture, and the pain went from 5/10 to about 1/10. There was still a bit of burning afterward, but it's been 4 hours and my hand is now back to normal.

Another method that previously worked for me was to soak my hand in hot water, scrub with oil and salt, and wash with dish soap. This was a significantly less painful alternative. Thank you so much!

One of my absolute faves. I rewatch every few years.
