Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What kind of people don’t you trust?
anyone with NFT in their display name
I hate greedy people – thinking about their greed and avarice makes me want to puke at times.
Liars.
The diskarte dudes and gals
When someone I haven’t talked to for more than a decade suddenly says “Hi” on my DMs. Feel ko it’s going to be Pru-Life, Usana, or something along those lines… and most of the time I’m proven to be right.
MLM is waving, in other words pyramid
People who are really, really, smile-ly and friendly. There’s this overly-saccharine, it’s almost fake, kind of person that I find kinda icky and sets off alarm bells in me.
Kind of like a Stepford smiler but with less overt eeriness, I guess? But I’m kind of referring to that, crossed with the person equivalent of a cake smothered in sugar and fondant.

Sipon season. ugh

Anong powdered milk brand nyo sa bahay?
Bear brand kasi samin pero gusto ko nang magpalit because fucknestle. Di ko na gusto yung Alaska, parang iba na yung lasa. Yung Birch Tree naman matabang, mas malapit sa skimmed milk yung lasa.
Gusto kong magchamporado bukas.
used to have Anchor at home and for me it’s the right blend of powdered milk
Nestogen, cuz Nestle fucks me since I was toddler.
I was going to say Anchor, pero baka nakuha na rin sila ng Nestle.
Still owned by Fonterra.
Bear brand pag nandito yung pamangkin ko. Since pang-creamer ko lang yan sa kape, dun na ko sa mura hehe *Nagtry ako sa Birch tree then Alaska (kasi may free foodkeeper lol) tapos balik Birch tree ngayon. Pero parang mas masarap na yata yung Alaska.
Try mo rin yung Birch Tree na full cream.
Yung full cream yung natikman ko dati. Di ko bet. Pero matagal na yun, baka nagbago na sila ng formulation?
Ang hirap ng walang day job, no? Pisteng yawa.
May gumawa na naman ng “Nagsisisi na Filipino ka?” thread sa kabila. 😅
“Nagsisisi na Filipino ka?”
I’m Filipino by the accident of birth, so it’s a bit illogical for me to say “nagsisisi ako na Filipino ako.” Regretting is something that is only valid if you had a choice in the matter.
Now, if I ever wished to be of a different nationality, I’d be lying if I say no. I can go on about my reasoning, but I won’t bother you with that.
Dude, I have no problems financially. I already got paid big from my occasional work that’ll last me for months (Yes, may budget plan), plus may passive income rin ako sa province (agri-business). It’s just sometimes, nabobored ako, pagkatapos ng chores ko, writing drafts, reading, and everything.
Nagsisisi ba ako naging Filipino ako? Sort of. Not because of work situation, but all the bullshitteries that majority influenced since 2016.
Seeking either the biggest payoff for the seller or the cheapest price for the buyer.
It’s like the unstoppable force meeting an immovable object.
Sigh 😮💨 namamahalan na ako sa jolibee. Konti na lang yung mga pagkain na below P100 /w drinks.
Parang ang tagal na since I managed to spend less than ₱100 on a Jolibee meal. But then again, I’m a “upsize fries and drinks, please” kind of person, lol!
Kung ₱100 lang ang budget ko at kailangan kong mabusog, pupunta na lang ako sa karinderya at mag-papapalunod na lang ako sa kanin at patis. 🥲
Doon sa Antipolo, lomi pa lang busog na’t wala pang php100. 😂

Bu… but ROTC helps eliminate mental disorders… right? Manila Bay’s dolomite didn’t help me, though.
Opm band ba yang the Youth?
They should look it up, it’s obviously OPM rock. 🤦♂️

Saso, a 22-year-old Filipino-born Japanese star who won the 2021 US Women’s Open, birdied the par-5 18th to match Yin for the lead at 7-under on the rain-soaked layout at Springfield, New Jersey.
Oh. :(
Nandidiri ako tuwing makakita o makarinig ng Pinoy content sa ibang phone o TV. Ang sakit sa tenga.
In fairness to Pinoy content, it’s not just because it’s Pinoy that irritates me, it’s the sound effects they use on top of the irritating humor that they inevitably use.
Di ko rin alam kung bakit naiirita ako tho. Maybe it’s some kind of a Pavlovian thing where I’ve associated those sound effects with irritating content, or it is the sound effects pushing what might otherwise be tolerable content past the line and into irritating territory.
Whenever I heard them, I felt like I’m developing myself with misophonia, and this is me tuning up white noise for meditation or whenever I’m bored.
Di lang ito limited sa YT o socmed shorts/content, pati na rin sa local TV, especially GMA.

And radio.
Have to remind myself that one’s irritant maybe another person’s sense (and quality level) of humor.

Yeah, and due to how prevalent (or my perception of it being prevalent) it is in stuff aimed towards Filipinos, I have this feeling that my own sensibilities are just not in tune with the rest of the country’s.

This is soo me. Most of the time, I read articles from AP News (or global news), or whatever marereceive ko sa email (from Inquirer o sa Viber notifications), and watch film/pop culture analysis videos from overseas. Recently I accidentally sent an email to my ex-friend. She replied “English yarn!!” I asked, “anong yarn?” Damn… and I’m 25.

Hahahaha! Ouch!
But yeah, it really depends on the (online or IRL) company we keep eh.
I think I’m not as bad when it comes to colloquial Filipino and its slang terms, but had I not been with people in touch with those things, I might as well be a foreigner with Filipino blood, who lived all my life in here the Philippines.
I’d never listened to local radio since I subscribed to Spotify a decade ago, until I landed on Apple Music with their free radios (mostly mainstream and featured artists lang naman). Haha
I used to listen to a lot of AM radio in my childhood (lalo na kung “brownout”, lol!), but recently, I’m the same as well. However, in times of disaster (typhoons, earthquakes, or man-made emergencies), I sometimes find myself looking for news coverage through my cellphone’s radio app.
Call me old-fashioned or whatever, but iba pa rin kasi ang feeling nung makakarinig ka ng breaking news reports sa radyo eh.
Other than that, my local radio listening has gone down to almost nil in the past handful of years.
EDIT: Typos and such.
When my favorite FM radio station (Pure FM, from the province. Literally pure pop songs and sometimes classic pop every 9PM) shut down, dun na ako gradually nawalan ng interes sa radyo.
Ahhh, yeah. Ang saklap nga pag ganyan. And I’m still grieving the loss of NU 108 (not even a rockhead, lol! I just like their programming).
I don’t usually listen to FM radio nowadays, except if I want that “office music” feel at home, in which case I’ll go to 96.3 (DWRK Easy Rock, Metro Manila).

Bobo.
Naumpisahan ko na rin ang One Piece kaso mas type ko ata yung manga over the anime. Or maybe wala lang ako sa mood manood at mas gusto ko lang magbasa.
I also started on Dr. Stone. Crush ko ba si Senku? I think I’d rather be his apprentice but yes he’s cool.
Rengoku pa din number one 🤩🔥
I’m almost done with my meds and I feel better now. Hay salamat.
Naalala ko tuloy dati binalak ko rin panoorin yang One Piece para lang may mapag-usapan kami ng dati kong katalkingstage hahaha.

Not familiar with One Piece, but I hope that the live adaptation doesn’t become a dud like Cowboy Bebop.
