naka limang plato ng pancit bato ako .. bwahahha...
diet who!!!
- Sana all

Conquered a half-marathon for the first time this morning. Not bad for a beginner who used to despise running to the very core. 🥳
- Is this the one around MoA earlier or is it a different one?
  
  Yes, it’s the same one!

Tapos na kontrata pero may work pa rin 🤪
Anyways, namiss ko Lemmy. Twitter sucks bigtime ngayon. I can't search kahit logged in na. Tanginamo Elon Musk, sana bugbogin ka ni Zuck kung matuloy man cage fight niyong dalawa.
- Like what I said yesterday, what Twitter is doing can gain other platforms like Facebook. Then again Facebook sucks! I only use it for Messenger lang.
  Waiting for BlueSky to open up though. May backup from the Founder of Twitter e.

Naka dalawang team building na ako sa company and I feel like I just don't fit in. Hindi ko lang talaga ramdam. Lalo na pag lumalabas yung pagka bbm nila tapos kanta-kanta pa nung jingle nila naiisip ko, mukhang tanga ampota
Wala na din yung work bestie ko dati kaya wala akong kasama mang judge.
Tapos sinabi 'maaagapan pa ang introvertedness ko' and I just don't have the heart to say di ko lang talaga type makipag hangout sa kanila. Me joining activities is bare minimum, trust me. I do it para di naman ako mukhang masyadong anti-social. Jesus.
- this is your sign
- Kadiri naman po yung kakanta pa ng BBM jingle 😂😂😂 funny kasi after nyan magrereklamo sila kasi meron na namang panibagong tax
  
  Oo nga eh alam mo yung girl alam mo ba yung pinag-ccheer mo at background nito? 🤦‍♀️
- Team building is like cult building. Para maging loyal ka sa team, at indirectly sa company.
  Ako sumasali just to improve my influence on others kasi weak talaga ako dun.
- mukhang tanga ampota
  I do it para di naman ako mukhang masyadong anti-social. Jesus.
  solido HAHA kapit mars
- Its annoying part with companies in general why can't we just work normally. Not sure how common this is in other countries. Even more annoying when its held on saturday and sunday unpaid. Its a chore to be in, fake smiles, fake laughs optional mostly but if you don't join you won't be a team player.

Finally have access to this account! Thanks admins! But it's better to keep other accounts in other instances just in case.
Context.
- lemm.ee tayo habang kunti at mabilis pa. Haha
  
  Dito muna ako sa lemm.ee while I'm waiting for lemmy.world to stabilize

mas ok pala sa desktop browser itong lemmy...
- Yessssss I seems better po talaga. Tried Summit and Jerboa, laging "Network error". I just installed yung "App" ng Lemmy through the browser para kapag gamit ko sya sa phone.
- Mas okay sa web browsers, mapa-mobile o desktop.
- Wala nga lang mod tools sa mobile apps. Buti na lang mababait pa mga tao dito so no need for that, lmao.
  
  😇
- Sa akin, working sa Firefox on the PC at Connect app sa phone ko, pero nagloloko pa rin sa Chrome on the PC for 2 days now kahit incognito mode pa.
  
  brave naman gamit ko

Day 1 of not accessing reddit on my phone. I kept opening Sync out of habit. Uninstalled it and temporarily replaced the shortcut with Mastodon and I still kept on clicking on it.
- The hell, I keep opening Apollo until now

Maligayang Lunes! Random recos ulit. Ang theme ay "unexpected collabs waw".
RANDOM RECO 1
RANDOM RECO 2
RANDOM RECO 3
RANDOM RECO 4

marahay na aga sa gabos!!!
- Tito Hixo??? HAHAHAH

I am currently watching Domestic Girlfriend. It's like a having a fever dream of consecutive train wrecks!! WTF!!
I will finish this anime.
- haha, welcome to the dumpster fire

Huh, ngayon ko lang napansin na pwede pala makita ang modlogs. That's kinda cool.
- If it can make users trust the community and its mod team more, then I'm all for it.
  
  Thats what reddit is lacking. transparency

Yung aircon po namin sa work, ayaw palitan ng administration kahit sobrang di na sya efficient magpalamig ng kwarto. Kapag nirereport namin, laging "nililinis" aba mas malinis pa po ito sa akin ata.
Minsan po may intrusive thoughts ako na gusto ko talaga syang sirain para mapalitan 😂
- sirain
  if there's a will, there's a way...

Are the mods from reddit and here the same? I feel like r/Philippines is really moderated well. I hope the same goes here, and that if they're the same mods, that hindi sila mahirapan to moderate two different sites.
- Not all, but most of the team is in here.

kala ko mamatay na itong PC namin, sabi ng kapatid ko palagi nagshu-shutdown randomly. buong umaga na pag troubleshooting yun pala courrupted yung graphics driver, so DDU ko yung corrupted drivers at reinstall ko yung bagong driver. Hindi nagshu-shutdown na yung PC, problem solve. :)

Some famous names in GMA 7's top 100 shareholder list as of March 31, 2023, according to the PSE website:
Jose Mari Chan, 2,092,900 shares (also has 1,257,130 shares in ABS-CBN)
Wilma Galvante, 230,000 shares
Dennis Trillo, Joey de Leon, Lorna Tolentino and Bong Revilla, 117,000 each
Malou Mangahas, 67,000
Gelli de Belen, Maki Pulido, Jolina Magdangal, Ara Mina and Raymart Santiago, 58,000 each
Antonio Tuviera, 52,000
Kara David, 50,000
Jay Taruc, 49,000
Jiggy Manicad, 48,000
Pia Guanio, Marian Rivera, Iza Calzado, Ariel Rivera, Howie Severino, Caesar Cosme, Caridad Sanchez, Alfred Vargas and Mark Herras, 41,000 each
Wala lang, na-curious lang ako
- Looks like most of these celebs were the ones who had stock option benefits sa contract nila. Kasi if they bought through a retail broker eh under sa pdc nominee corporation ang name ng shares.
  
  If that is the case, paano yung kay JMC? Wala akong natatandaan na show niya sa GMA (except sa occasional xmas specials). Or baka shares of stock ang compensation niya tuwing kakanta ng Christmas in our Hearts every year for the past 30+ years lol

Happy work week!
Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is the greatest show of all time?
- The Wire, easily.
  To this day, I don't think anything is close — and I love Succession, Breaking Bad/BCS, Black Mirror, Game of Thrones, Fleabag, Arrested Development, The Office, and so on.
  
  Besides the last couple of seasons, Game of Thrones was really good tv. Red Wedding is still one of the most shocking twists I've seen on any show.
- Ang hirap:
  The Wire
  Breaking Bad
  Band of Brothers
  Severance
  Cobra Kai
  Black Mirror
  Sherlock
  The Office (US)
  Chernobyl
  Ted Lasso
  Mindhunter
  Heroes (if the writers' strike didn't happened back in 2007-2008, may potential talaga)
  To add:
  The Expanse
  For All Mankind
  The Last of Us
- Fargo
- This is a tough one. There is no one greatest show for me, kasi ang hirap talaga piliin objectively because they each have different things to offer.
  Series: House, M.D. Band of Brothers Prison Break Chernobyl Ted Lasso
  Great in terms of comedy imho Thin Blue Line (Mr. Bean had an obscure series lol) Blackadder Monty Python A Bit of Fry & Laurie Two Ronnies - Four Candles is a favorite bit. QI (Quite Inappropriate with Stephen Fry) WLIIA (Whose Line Is It Anyway) - Current one is ok, but the drew carrey hosted WLIIA is better.
  Talk Shows: Johnny Carson David Letterman Conan O' Brien (especially the remotes)
  Game Shows: The Chase - mostly watch the highlights. Quite funny to see the production staff intentionally putting in a bit inappropriate double-meaning answers sa multiple choice answers to get the host into uncontrollable fits of laughter (Bradley Walsh). The double meanings are not as funny as Walsh's contagious laughter lol.
  Kung local naman, medyo limited lang ang mga napapanood ko unfortunately but Pepito Manaloto is good.
  
  The Chase
  Huge huge fan of the Australian version and stopped watching shortly before the original host was fired a couple of years ago. Basta 3pm every day, I pause whatever I'm doing and set up shop sa couch with snacks, lol. It's also recorded so when my wife gets home, we watch it again.
- The Greatest Showman... hehe...

Pop punk/rock hits Girlfriend's and Misery Business' lyrics - yasss go girlies you're not as much a potato as u think and go after them guys u like and take them away from the removed
The songs' vocalists - very likely lowkey campus heartthrob material, had boys erect altars in their name, feels like sanctioned bullying if they actually sung these for a likely okay high school couple, gf says sorry, bf finds it weird bc they can probs jowa any guy/girl they want bat yung taken pa

No context.

Isang linggo, isang tuwa. Buong bansaaaaa...
E! A! T!
- Interesting yung bagong segment na Vortas 5. Masculado pero malalambot kung sumayaw, parang si Rogelia dati

Finished watching witcher series loving the series so far, have to wait for July 24 for volume 2 ughh.

Lemmy.world been slow lately probably because of the influx of users from reddit. Using another instance to engage in lemmy.world communities makes a huge difference.

I was today years old when I found out that it's gfycat and not gyfcat. And now they're about to shut down 😞
- What?? Anyare? Tinalo na sila ng Giphy and Tenor?

Sa'yo sinend pero sa akin mo hinahanap??? Tapos galit na galit pag di nabigay agad. Bobo ka ba ha??? Inuuna kasi lagi highblood nitong manager na 'to, yawa
- Sino ba diyan ha turo mo samin

Uy, mom-to-be na si Karla Aguas/Salva! Congrats to the couple!

Sana maulan buong araw. Tuyong-tuyo na talaga, eh.
- As someone who commutes to work every day, please no. However, ok lang siguro ko super light rain I suppose. Just stop raining na lang before and during rush hours.
  
  So cloudy with ambon lang... :D
- alin po ang tuyo na?
  
  Mga damit ko lol

i recently found out about /c/shittylifeprotips
how about you? ano mga sinalihan nya na communities?
- Wala pa ako nakikita (or sinasalihan) na medyo unique sa Lemmy. Mostly mga communities na existing subs lang. But I'll probably find something like you did once mag-normalize na ulit speeds.

It's hard to leave twitter because of sentimental value. Eto na yung parang naging online journal natin. Sarap balik balikan ng old tweets natin. Tahimik na ako for the past few years sa twitter compared before, pero ang join date ng main account ko is april 2009 pa. Meron pa ako mas naunang twitter account though 2007 pa ata yun. Naalala ko pa sa highschool namin ang dami nagkainteres sa computer science na course dahil may job opening ad sa login page ng twitter noon, hiring developers /graduates of comsci and nakalagay 60k or 80k usd starting salary ata iirc. Ayun, pagdating ng college wala pa ata 20% sa kanila ang nakasurvive and graduate sa comsci program ng upd.
- My most memorable tweets were the ones nung via text pa ako nagsesend (wala pa mobile internet) around 2009. I'd do it whenever I'm stuck sa mahabang pila ng jeep or MRT just to keep myself busy.
- You can download your archives if you like to preserve your digital data from Twitter or any social media accounts you have.

Isn't it just sad how twitter and reddit are turning out today? Year after year, we had a great thing going on out there, then elon musk and spez suddenly decides to just ruin everything for us?
- What's happening right now is called enshittification.

I tell myself it's fine
- Samesies
- You're re-fined

Balik ka na pls. Di na ako galit 🥺
- Babalik yun. Pag hindi magalit ka. 👍 (Seriously, hope it'll turn out well)
  
  Ahahahahaha. Sana lang

Best feeling in the world!
- uy mahilig dito pamangkin ko
  
  Anong team nya?

Kailan pa nagkaron sort? Last time tinatry ko kasi buksan jerboa pero nagccrash
- Kakalagay lang siguro last week, and since updated na server pwede na ulit gamitin si Jerboa.
- Liftoff is much better for me
- henlo tito jooms

I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real

Ako lang siguro natatawa sa mga Lemmy user na may dalawa o apat na comment na parehas? Hay, ang babaw ng kaligayahan.

May pa long weekday off ako suddenly 😌 you know what that means? Adventure time! kahit habagat season, basta hindi signal no. 3 a little rain won't stop me
I have enough time para maligaw-ligaw and the find my way back lol. 🥰 I'm so excited 💖

Parang nagloloko na naman mga apps for Lemmy 😮‍💨
- kanina pa morning

Created an account on lemm.ee
This is anaralah_belore223@lemmy.world
Reason I created an account on lemm.ee: kasi hindi ko na kinaya yung bagal ng lemmy.world at errors, kaya I made my account with the same username on lemm.ee. I can't bear it any longer
Mas mabilis si lemm.ee kesa https://lemmy.world
This is u/anaralah_belore223, but on a different instance, same username.
- gusto ko rin try, pero ano naman experience if your browsing/commenting to a world community?
  
  gusto ko rin try, pero ano naman experience if your browsing/commenting to a world community?
  Browsing/posting/commenting from my alternate anaralah_belore223@lemm.ee account for lemmy.world/lemm.ee posts/comments = blazing superfast
  while using anaralah_belore223@lemmy.world for posting/commenting on lemmy.world posts/comments = bagal (putang ina, hindi ko na kinaya, hope the lemmy.world admins fix this)
  In short: commenting/posting on lemmy.world using accounts from other instances (unless nagde-federate yung instance mo sa lemmy.world) = mabilis; using lemmy.world to post/comment on lemmy.world posts/comments = mabagal as of now.

I'll make some hot chocolate pagkauwi hihi. Little things that makes me happy <3 anyway, miss ko na mga rd friends ko. Hope they'll move here soonest

Hirap na hirap ako gamitin ang app na ito.
- test reply from lemm.ee
  (bagal kc sa world)
  
  I'll do the same here (from lemm.ee)
  Commenting took about 1 second
  Editing took about one second
- ano app? baka un instance (lemmy.world) ang mabagal. i signed up for a different instance (lemm.ee) and no issues so far (sana)
- Try creating your account with the very same username at one of these instances:
  lemm.ee <-- This is how I created my account with the same name, because lemmy.world version of my account (this is where I first signed up my lemmy.world account on lemmy) is slow.
  lemmy.one
  sh.itjust.works
  and/or
  lemmy.ca.

May bagong android app for lemmy:
It's Fennec!
- oh wrong choice of app name kasi it is the codename for Firefox for Android in Fdroid, yun ang gamit ko now
  https://f-droid.org/packages/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/

ang ulan, pero bat ang init pa rin

meron na search engine for lemmy
https://www.search-lemmy.com/

So like some other, I decided to get an account on Lemm.ee . The problem is, the more people doing this, the slower this instance will get... or that's what I think
- Welcome, my..... uh.... other me
- Maraming libu-libong lemmy instances na pag-register-an, basta yung mga hindi nag-defederate sa lemmy.world yung piliin mo. Iwasan mo yung mga instances na na-block ni lemmy.world (madalas mga commie/nazi/right-wing/extremist instances, basta iwasan nyo mag-register yung account nyo dyan).

Guys and gals, you can nuke my PancitCanton account lol. I recently deleted my browser's cookies as part of my "digital cleanse" scheduled every month and I forgot to save its credentials to my Bitwarden vault. Hahahaha
- GG.

Thoughts for tonite: how to gaslight yourself into thinking that everything is ok

Hindi ako makapag-upvote man lang sa .world.
