    Got the little one a Happy Meal earlier and the toy they have now are Squishmallows. Reminded me of Philemon when I saw it. 😁

    TIL that “Ped Xing” means “pedestrian crossing”. I’ve always thought it was a translation of “pedestrian lane” for Chinese people BABAHABAHAHAHAHA

      Tapos yung mga signs na ganyan, mas prominent pa sa touristy areas (like Malate Church/Baywalk, Luneta, etc) 😂

    Lads and Lasses, the Shamisen, a Japanese three-stringed instrument derived from the Chinese Sanxian. A.K.A. the boss music maker.

    This instrument is SCIENTIFICALLY* guaranteed to make any activity (getting on a crowded Jeep/Bus/Train/Elevator) turn into an epic boss fight/one on one situation.

    Hell, even this Geisha looks bad-ass, and that’s not even a .GIF.

    Appropriate BGM .

    *Eh, not quite scientific.

    Napanood ko na Barbie from last weekend because my partner wants to watch it. I had low expectations going in the cinema, I came out impressed.

    Monday na naman, may typhoon na baka magparamdam na any moment, pinapapasok pa din kami. Lagi na lang ba ganito? I envy other companies who have adapted the WFH-On site hybrid style.

      I thought it was a joke when I saw some posts about it on Mastodon. Looks like Elon’s having a manic episode.

        If eventually babaguhin ng mga tao yung “follow us on twirrer” nila, sana magdagdag na sila ng links sa accounts nila sa Fediverse.

      Kakabasa ko lang kanina nito. Buti na lang umalis na ako sa Twitter, haha. Ma-backup na nga tweets ko sakaling Elon falls off his rocker completely.

    Ang daming magagaling na Japanese artist (manga at illustrations) at mga pose reference sa twitter pero nakakalungkot na pumapangit ang quality ng twitter.

      Flat Earth. I’m astonished how many people close to me still believes that the Earth is flat and that we are prohibited from falling off by an ice wall at the edges.

      Anyway, I’ve been through a conspiracy theorist phase myself (cringe, I know) so I can’t really say I’m better than them.

      Sindikato raw yung mga namamalimos sa jeep.

      Kakatiting lang kita sa “raket” na yan to be a viable business model. And you’ll split it with several other people pa? If yung mga sobre nila na may print ang ebidensya mo, that’s actually charity by some printing presses. Naaawa sila and it’s the least they could do for them.

      Kung ayaw mo kasi magbigay (na iligal naman to begin with) then just don’t give. Dami mo pa satsat and justification e.

    Nice to see na nilalampaso ng oppenheimer ang barbie here sa ph. Even last saturday jampacked sa sm cinemas ang oppenheimer, both in imax and regular theaters, while barbie walang kapila pila. Don’t support the chinese sell out movie.

      Eh, doubt it. I can’t really say a lot from a single screenshot without context, but I do have a lot of questions: Where was the video taken? When was the screening schedule? And even then, if we’re talking about anecdotal evidence, I can say that a lot of people watched Barbie too, based on my observation last Saturday.

      I rarely see movies nowadays but judging from the impressions, the movie has far more to give that outweighs whatever perceived shortcomings over some silly drawn lines.

        I’ve seen the movie and the map was indeed a stupid kid’s drawing. Even U.S. was drawn in such a way to represent the entire North America, lol.

        I agreed with the MTRCB in their previous attempts to ban movies for perceived slights (Plane, Abominable, Uncharted), but in this case, reach talaga yung accusation ng Vietnam.
