An HR recruiter friend is looking for applicants for the following roles in their Balibago, Angeles office. The email address is on the image.

Tucked in literally one corner near a side entrance of Market! Market! (near Bon Chon) is a gallery called "The Art Hub" — it's probably the saddest mall art gallery I've ever seen. The space is really just a makeshift installation with bad lighting.

Yung tumigil muna sa Corinthian Hills kasi napagod umakyat habang halfway sa pag-bike from Pembo to Cubao. Ginusto mo ito, Jade. Ginusto mo ito. 🚲

Because I'm pretty much caught up with the recent (2024 onwards) episodes of @ologies.bsky.social so I've started going back to the early episodes. I just finished a 2018 episode and Ally shared a Harry Potter secret. That really sounded weird now, 7 years and the author's TERFication later. 😅

A recently created altar with a small statue of Mary and the child Jesus placed on the leftover stump of a dead palm tree on a planter near Plaza Lacson. There is a now-dry jasmine garland around the very grubby statue.

TIL the Tagalog word for monster “halimaw” is borrowed from the Malay word for tiger - “harimau”

Didn't finish listening to a podcast that dwelt on the SOGIE Equality Bill because I couldn't stand hearing one of the guests — a seemingly well-educated cis-hetero dude who didn't recognize how discrimination against gender and sexual minorities go beyond outright hate crimes.

It's annoying how on the day I decided to visit Pembo and work at my parents' place, their fiber connection goes down. I'm regularly paying for this damn thing that I don't even get to use normally but on the days I need to use it, I can't. FML.

No matter how many Nazi’s infiltrate Twitter I just can’t conceive of leaving the app which is kinda the same mistake my ancestors made too

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I rode a bike when I went out and now it's raining. UGH.

It's been a long time since I had to go to either Globe or Smart's customer service office, I didn't know they've really scaled back the number of their physical offices. It used to be that there is very likely one in any decently-sized mall.

There really are people who would insist on asking very specific hypothetical scenarios even if they have a ready (and reversible) option to try and discover the answers for themselves. Could have saved them time waiting to be answered, but that's their choice.

PH's first women's museum opens in Quezon City

So ito yung aftermath

The Gcash is finally verified (my first attempt months ago failed) 😅 I can now post my QR code for cash presents for my next birthday 🙌🏽

Tunnelvision moment: I thought it was mainly Pinoy consumers who do this. Now I'm wondering if reviews on ecommerce platforms outside Southeast Asia use the same format.

Saw a post in Threads about jade vines blooming around this time, and I remembered the vines growing in UPD I saw with @paulcatiang.bsky.social www.threads.net/@jeanniejave...

Okay I'm very tempted to buy a bike trailer from Lazada para may modular cargo bike na ako (meaning, I don't need to take a Grab when doing groceries) 😅

Today's dinner was brought to you by leftovers: leftover fresh snow peas that wouldn't remain fresh if I didn't cook them soon; leftover fresh shiitake from the kimchi steve I cooked for friends last night; and leftover cooked pasta.

After pumping air into my bike tires last night, air started gushing out near the tube valve which immediately deflated the front wheel. Damn. At least that didn't happen while I was riding the bike.

How can an ink cartridge cost THAT much???

Van Helsing: Dracula. Your hold over this young woman has been broken. Thru intense hypnosis I have entered her mind and purged it of your evil taint. Dracula: Kinky. Van Helsing: what? Dracula: I mean, oh no! Curse you and whatnot! Blah!

Often, I wonder what my neighbors hear from my apartment. It's probably more than half a year since the guy moved to the next unit and every day I can hear him cough lightly, every couple of minutes.

There goes the rain kind-of ruining my plans to go out and see a bazaar in Angeles. Maulan din ba sa Manila? For sure, it will make the already horrible Friday-payday-Valentines-Day traffic even worse.

"Researchers found over 270,000 beads in a tomb in Spain, and it could be the largest collection ever recorded. The beads were made out of shells, stone, and animal bone, and it likely took months to produce such a large quantity." www.popularmechanics.com/science/arch...
