  • It took me 4 months to adjust to our stupid shifting schedule. I'm back to my normal program of working out 💪 actually now that I have a measurable goal with what I want to do hobby-wise I feel so much more motivated.

    It doesn't feel like a chore anymore lol. I like it because 1) we get stronger and 2) I get to eat more! those 4 months of adjustment was me doing my best to fast and let's just say it was somewhat miserable.

    Yung tulog ko naman--basta kapag pwede matulog natutulog na lang. Hindi naman ako maarte, basta malinis at hindi sobrang lamig. I've been doing breathing exercises and it does wonders for me. It's like I meditate and then end up falling asleep eventually.

    Anyway ~~~ my current animal creature obsession this week is the titan triggerfish 🤩 matututo talaga ako mag dive and I'm gonna see them in the future. I can definitely see myself just going back and forth sa dagat just to see them creatures.

    I love biodiversity 😩 I remember seeing a big ass sand dollar during my last snorkel and I got so excited nagulat at natakot yung kasama ko sakin akala niya kung anong meron. Tapos nung hindi ko na makita yung bottom of the sea floor (just a dark blue) I started hyperventilating because I thought it was scary and cool and what lies deeper? What are the possibilities? I wanna see!

    But my ability is still too low. So. I shall do my best 😤😤😤

  • lemmy.world got hammered with a DDoS attack for more than an hour earlier.

    On another note, I don't like the Sync for Lemmy logo.

  • Why are CityMall cinemas so cheap (₱150), and yet have better projection, better aspect ratio (2.39:1, I think, basta wide), better contrast, and better sound than SM Cinemas na ₱260 na naka 1.85:1 tapos madilim pa, may ACS commercials pa?

    I was skeptical on CityMall's until I watched M:I Dead Reckoning pt. One. Damn, may malapit lang naman na sinehan.

    Sa mga projectionist ng SM Cinema, bakit ganyan equipment niyo? Haha

    • SM cinemas has always been on the lower tier of projectionists. They jdgaf it seems. Last time ako nanood dun ni-libre lang (Green Lantern lol).

      Ayala and Megaworld are inconsistent. Sometimes may decent (Vertis, Uptown), but for the most part (Eastwood, Trinoma, Lucky Chinatown) it's comparable to SM. Yung iba naman na "gReAt CiNeMaS" na nirerecommend, dinadaan sa Dolby Atmos explosive sound effects. I just want a sharp, punchy , colorful picture, damn it!

      • The best SM Cinema I had so far, is their Large Format at SM Seaside (Cebu). at kakaunti lang ito meron sa Pinas.

        CityMall Cinema I had recently wasn't even Dolby Atmos, and yet the sound is really good — a really flat sound sig that I also prefer on my earphones and my 5.1 sound system at home.
