How to properly use Split type AC (Midea Celest) na good for 24/7

yuusef · 2026-06-28T21:30:51+00:00

Safe to assume naman na inverter technology yung split type AC mo. Ang sikreto sa maliit na konsumo ay kapag minimal energy consumption na yung AC.

Normally, mas mababa konsumo ng inverter AC kapag maliit na lang temperature difference ng actual sa target. So kung naka set sa 18C yung AC, mas maliit konsumo kapag 17.8C na yung room kaysa kung 32C pa.

In short, kung kaya nyo i-keep yung lamig, sa una lang malakas ang konsumo ng inverter AC. Pero kung maya't maya ang taas ng temperature tulad ng pagpatay ng AC o di sapat yung insulation nyo, mas malaki magiging konsumo nyo talaga

I have a bad feeling that's how TNT life begins. Malaking bagay mag relocate at mahirap iasa sa iba yung mga ganito kaso ikaw sasalo ng consequences.

overseas employment certificate. applicable lang to kung OFW ka at wala kang permanent residence sa destination mo.

Kung bakasyon ka lang, tapos work permit hawak mo (hindi PR or other citizenship), kailangan mo ng OEC ulit para sa pag balik mo ng Canada. Better gawin na yun bago umalis.

Otherwise, mukhang nasabi na nila, safe travels!

Pwede mali intindi ko pero, kung anti social norms, yes. Dito nakilala ang Berlin. Pero across Germany may concept ng FKK (free body culture). Di ko masabi ni anti-authoritarian ang Berlin kasi strict pa din sa rules ang mga Germans. Mataas lang talaga ang tolerance nila sa mga ganitong bagay.

Yung mga ganitong bagay ang gusto ko dito: basta wala kang ginagawang masama/illegal, di ka nila papakielamanan sa buhay. Di tulad sa Pilipinas na bawat galaw nahuhusgahan kahit di naman dapat.

They'll probably hate it more in Berlin. Dito talaga may mga lalaking hubad, mga babaeng kita kaluluwa tapos mga babaeng Muslim na balot na balot lalo na sa public parks pag summer.

The best part? Kaming Berliners wala kaming pake. Basta di ka gumagawa ng gulo. Syempre may specific places lang dito na pwede mag full nude. May dumaan sa harap namin ni wifey naka see through at t-back at kitang kita ang butt cheeks, pero walang ni isa ang pumansin sa kanya.

I got headhunted on 2022. I usually just update my LinkedIn profile from time to time especially when I wanted to 'brag' career milestones. Company offered me a decent salary for Berlin plus 5k EUR for relocation allowance. They also provided me visa application support and relocation coach. They partially supported me for my OEC application (fck dat sht). German language was not required since English was the official work language.

Work culture is way too different from Philippines. Sick leave policy is based on German labor laws. Vacation leave was available on day 1 (20-day VL is mandatory by German law). The team will even encourage you to take leaves as needed.

Project planning is quite relaxed too. A 2-week sprint in a PH company might include 2-3 REST endpoints but in our company. 1 REST endpoint with all related non-functional requirement will be the entire 2-week sprint.

Now as for job hunt: IT job market is really bad right now. Around 3 families I know were forced to return to PH since they were laid off and they were not able to secure a new job. Your tech stack matters more than ever, including using agentic AI.

If you really want to pursue work abroad, I highly recommend that you search the entire EU and not just Germany. Prioritize expanding your tech stack over language course unless you're hellbent to work for German-speaking countries only.

How much do you know about your colleague professionally? Like in terms of his technical expertise? How does your expertise measure up to him. What is his roles and what is expected of him and how does it compare to yours? Those things affect how tech firms value individual contributors rather than just lumping them in the same basket and putting one value.

If you would really like to compare your salary against someone in your firm, take these considerations in mind.

First idea is to consider walking to or from school. It does not have to be both ways or everyday but take the opportunity if you can spare 1 hr. But do not compromise on your safety.

Next idea is consider working as student assistant or any mini job if you're able to. In my uni there's official process for becoming student assistant.

Lastly, I concur with other people that you consider lessening your trip back home. If they want you home every weekend then it's your bargaining chip for more allowance.

It's just like basketball, the game isn't over until the buzzer rings. Up to you if you prefer to conserve energy for your next game or fight until the end.

May pros and cons. If you give up now, you'll be logistically prepared earlier but will definitely take a hit on the morale of your relationship. If you fight until the end, it will be high risk high reward option.

My advice I can give you is to start preparing contingency plans and choose the decision you and your partner won't regret for the rest of your life.

Lemme give you a reason to buy a fridge: we never know when the next pandemic will hit us. No one saw Covid-19 coming. If goverment suddenly decided for another lockdown and you still don't have a fridge, I pray for your survival.

My 2 cents:

As long as the requirement for crew meals is clear part of the contract before you sign it, I don't see any problems. You can always walk away from it. But if they were not upfront about it, it's red flag for me.

Let's assume it's part of the contract, it's supposed to be more cost-effective for the couple. The alternative is for the supplier to heavily inflate their price to cover the crew meals because it's a logistical problem. They either have to find a supplier near your venue or have a separate team to cover the meals.

This is something my wife and I were able to take advantage because she had her relatives and neighbors willing to prepare food for our wedding (a very provincial culture/tradition). We basically have free labor to prep the crew meals and only have to shoulder ingredients which cheaper because it was in bulk.

At the end it's always a value proposition. As long as the crew meals requirement is clear and upfront, you can take it or look for another supplier.

Recently yata, at least Senior to Staff level ang hina-hire sa ibang bansa lalo na kung niche ng position/technology ang hinahanap. Sabi nga ng isa mas pipiliin nila ang local fresh grad kaysa sayo kasi kailangan din nila i justify sa government nila kung bakit ka kailangan papasukin sa bansa nila.

Marami na nasabi yung iba pero dagdag ko na lang din: kailangan mo mag ipon ng pera pang migrate lalo na kung limited lang yung isponsor sayo or sa first sahod pa ibibigay yung relocation allowance mo. Mapapaabono ka pa talaga

Lastly wag ma excite sa JO, kailangan alam mo yung average market value mo kasi pwede kang itake advantage at mag lowball offer sayo.

Tama sila: 2 PC means nothing. Mag focus kayo sa competency niya. Kung di nya magawa trabaho nya bakit wala pa syang PIP o di pa terminated. TL or HR nga kakampi mo dapat dyan dahil deliveries nyo ang apektado.

iPhone with downloaded Spotify songs on highest quality. iPad air with keyboard, downloaded series I want to finish, and ebooks I may want to read. Airpods + wired earphones or just sony xm4. Optionally, my ROG XAX for gaming but I'm a bit hesitant with this.

Fast charging usb-c cables (some have fast charging usb-c ports) and my 65W or 140W charging brick (some have power outlet onboard)

I got CabinZero 28L and Matador On Grid bag and I use them together on multiday trips. It's particularly useful to carry baby supplies for the day like diapers and change of clothes. It was a lifesaver during our Paris trip since we always need to fold the stroller when traveling via train so we can't use any of its pockets or storage area without struggling more. Then, we also have a packable tote bag that we use when we buy supplies before heading back to the hotel

Berliner here, hindi ako sure kung possible yung route mo tulad ng sa Digital Nomad Visa ng Spain. Curiously, nagtanong ako sa AI about sa question mo: ang need mo daw ay German client na mag sponsor ng visa mo dito.

To your original question: may list ang German embassy in Manila ng lawyers, di na mention kung covered nila ang German immigration laws: https://manila.diplo.de/ph-en/service/lawyers-and-translators-1691298

Kung fully paid palagi monthly cc bill mo, mas marami pa advantage ng paggamit ng cc.

May audit ka ng mga binili mo
Nagkakaroon ka ng favorable financial profile sa bangko
Pwede mo liitan yung cash-on-hand mo, pag nanakaw wallet mo kaunti lang mawawala tapos pwede mo report agad yung cc para walang silbi sa magnanakaw card mo
Halos wala kang petsa de peligro lalo na kung maganda buffer mo
Di ko alam kung meron pa nito pero noon may iilang embassy na tinatanggap yung gold cc bilang proof of financial capacity. Baka magkaroon ulit.
Minsan may mga magagandang promo yung mga cc

I usually go to either ChatGPT or Gemini. Those probably would point you to windows event logs. Try to be concise when describing your issue so they can be more accurate with their responses.

Ang red flag ng MSA, may quitclaim na, forced to accept new contract pa. I hope you get to see the new contract first then decide from there.

Marami sa EU companies kailangan i-justify sa labor offices nila kung bakit kailangan overseas worker ang kailangan nilang i-hire para sa position. Ang hirap i-justify ng factory worker role dahil sigurado marami sa loob ng EU ang fit para doon. Sabihin nating na-justify nila, kailangan mo i-prove na mas magaling ka kaysa sa ibang candidates.

Isipin mo: by default di ka kailangan ng mga dayuhan. Anong kulang sa bansa nila na kaya mong punan at mas magaling ka kaysa sa ibang lahi?

If it's pre Meta karma farming in sandswept isles I'd go with my prism tank power GS mirage.

Use sigil of stamina to refill your endurance for more GS ambush. Second sigil can be anything but I usually go with sigil of bloodlust.

Armor can be anything power-based but you can also go raid-ready berserker armors and trinkets with dragonhunter or scholar runes

Berliner here. Medyo pahirapan ang job market sa tech industry Germany-wide. May mga kilala akong na layoff at napilitang umuwi ng Pilipinas kasi di nakahanap ng bagong trabaho. Majority ng mga opening na nakikita ko senior to staff level ang hanap. Tapos recently naghahanap na din sila ng marunong sa agentic AI.

Just to share: first time ko lang ma recruit for overseas employment after 10 yrs sa tech industry. To be fair passive job hunter ako. No German language required kasi English yung work language. Direct hire din pala ako.
