I’ve never been a fan of Michael V so obviously I’m not going to like this parody. His opinions remind me of the average Filipino internet user na ramblings without much intellect or awareness and reek of privilege. Like his post calling out collectors for not wearing the shoes they buy and just display it. Or those tacky “Ako at ang Ina” series that satirizes internet memes but through the lens of a boomer who don’t get it.
Ang low effort na target ng Starbucks. It hasn’t been a symbol of “prestige” for more than a decade now and most of the gripes regarding those who indulge in it are presumptuous. Pano mo alam na yung bumibili dun clout lang habol? Ang dami dami na mga coffee chains and drinks that are in the same price point as SB. Just because pinipilahan ng marami yung sa Tagaytay, doesn’t mean they want to be “cool” — I don’t think nakakita ako ng drive-thru SB na hindi blockbuster ang pila. St. Charbel, San Fernando, Malolos, West Ave, lahat yan mahaba. Masahol talaga diyan, Tagaytay e. Even the shittiest restaurant there will have tons of patrons, lol.
In my defense, I do it because I hate ruining businesses for a small forgivable mishap.
I once gave a Shopee merchant 5-stars despite explaining that the supplement I received wasn’t good value for the money because while it might seem cheap, it takes 3 tablets to get the desired effect you’d get from a slightly pricier supp (about 20 pesos more) that requires only 2 tablets. In effect, pricier supp gives you a full month supply while the cheaper one is only 20 days. This could have been avoided had their ad shown the nutrition label.
Had I given them 3 stars or something, other customers would assume that it’s a bad product when in reality, it’s just me being pedantic about serving sizes.
On a related note, I wish they would start implementing Samsung Pay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay locally soon. Hindi nama-maximize use ng smartwatch if pang-track lang ng exercise.
Yeah, Ambangeg Trail. Mostly paved pathways and enclosed by trees and foliage, so parang naglalakad ka lang sa aircon na room for 4+ hours.
The summiting gets a little tricky because it’s open and narrow, literally bangin na nasa tabi mo. But just as long as you look straight and ignore it, you’ll be fine. Lol.
want to mention that this was posted from PixelFed. This means na mababasa ko mga comments nyo dito sa Pixelfed, pero yun reply ko is di magre-reflect sa Lemmy. Baka issue sa federation or something else?
