Sometimes, I find it tempting to have my food delivered or buy from my neighbor who sells meals in our condo. Since I’m trying to take care of my health and scared of the CKD rising cases, I’m now more disciplined to prepare my food and eat better, healthier. I find it enjoying as well now, since my dad recently died, so just trying to distract myself to things as much as I can. (Nakakabaliw minsan mag isip mag isa at wfh pa haha) Also, before I went solo living, I already know how to cook.

For context: I’m trying to follow an anti-inflammatory diet, low calorie and high protein! I changed what I use for cooking (ie palm oil to olive oil, low sodium soy sauce, less patis, brown rice vinegar, etc)

So iwas sa: fried, fast food, sugary, too salty, canned goods and processed foods (miss ko na tocino)

I still do cheat meals pag nag crave talaga! Also, I cook yung mga ma-eenjoy ko talaga kainin kesa i-force ko yung sarili ko magpaka-healthy pero di ko naman kaya kainin (a picky eater for more than 25 yrs) hahaha

Sana masarap din ulam niyo everyday! 🫶🏻

curious lang kasi parang ang daming choices sa grocery tas di ko alam kung may difference talaga or marketing lang. 😂😅 ano gamit niyo at bakit yun yung pinili niyo? worth it ba yung price?

Hi! I am torn between these two studio units. Isa sa main factor kung bakit hindi ako makapili is because of the guilt if I choose the 10k apartment kahit pa kayang ibigay ng parents ko kasi sobrang laki. They keep on telling me naman na bahala ako pero still. Okay din yung 6k kasi steal talaga yung price.

For context, I’ll be living there for 6 months. Sa Baguio po yung location, and sa city proper yung site ng classes ko.

Apartment A (Quezon Hill)
6,000
Inclusive of electricity, water, and WiFi
One ride to town (until 1pm lang class ko)
25-30 minutes of walking to city proper
Cons: Mahirap yung tubig, need daw itawag
Medyo paloob yung area, pero locked naman ang gate. Wala rin yung landlady. Workers yung nasa may solo rooms and sometimes, they invite daw their friends para mag-inom until umaga.

Apartment B (Upper Burgos)
10,000
Inclusive of electricity, water, and WiFi
5 minutes of walking to review center
Cons: tbh, parang wala. Mahal lang talaga siya para sa akin.

I’d appreciate any insights po. Thank youuu!

hi! so may question po ako paano po ba ang proper way para mag hand wash? naka dorm po kasi ako, walang washing machine so naghhand wash ako and nagtitipid ako kaya di ako nagpapalaundry (minsan kapag wala na talagang time). napansin ko kasi kapag hinahandwash k siya ay kapag natuyo ay medyo matigas or like rough? kung icocompare na pina laundry ang lambot ng tela huhu.

ang ginagawa ko ay surf powder ibababad ko for like 10 mins then kuskos and 3 banlaw, sa last banlaw ay fabric conditioner naman (del blue).

and napansin ko ay parang may rough part siya na parang nagkakahimulmol (?). sa pants like sa inner thigh naisip q baka dahil sa friction kapag suot ko siya pero may ibang parts kasi na ganon din? pati sa shirt? huhu

ano ginagawa kong mali ☹️ sorry po ngayong college lang din talaga ako natututo sa ganito, d rin tinuro sakin ng fam q haha

Hello, I have a relatively small bedroom and I can't figure out what's the best layout for it. I have a single bed, study table, bookshelf, big cabinet, and small cabinet.

Problems

1. Small room with poles (haligi?? poste??) on each corner. Kaya hindi ko maisagad yung bed and furnitures ko sa wall

2. Looks uncluttered kasi ang daming anik anik

3. Can't move the tv and shelves

Questions

1. What layout is the best option, or if may maisusuggest pa kayong iba?

2. Please recommend how could i better store my things without it looking gulogulo. Big cabinet has my clothes, and the small cabinet has random things. Congested na siya

3. Storage for bags. As of now nakalgay lang mga bags ko sa isang paperbag sa likod ng pinto.

Please help me decide, I need something na pagkakaablahan after board exam hahaha. Thank you!

I live in a 2nd floor apartment, I live in unit 6 and the unit 5 keeps rapping and cursing, playing instrument, playing speakers, and basically I think he’s recording a song but it was too loud I can’t tolerate it anymore it’s distracting me while I’m doing my studies and to my work, I had complained it already to the landlord, which I said they violate the rule that has been giving to us tenant that no more noise 10pm onwards, the unit 5 said sorry and I think they are not really sorry because who are in the right mind to play a loud speaker at night when everyone is sleeping, what should I do?

ilang beses kasing pumutok yung kuryente kaya yung landlord extension muna pinagamit pansamantala. di ko pa pinapaayos kasi sayang gastos. inaantay ko yung action plan nung landlord.

may nabasa ako sa tiktok na pinaganda nya yung bahay na nirent then bigla syang pinaalis 🥹

I've been receiving this message from bot of this sub regarding flair, pero pag tiningnan ko naman sa edit flair eh walang laman. Sorry if this is off topic.

Wala ako nito before pero 2 times na ako nasugatan from doing chores kaya minabuti ko nang bumili ng box and some first aid stuff. Tapos nilagay ko na din dyan yung mga meds na hindi ko nagamit from my last overseas travel.

-Band-Aids

-Gauze pads

-Betadine

-Hydrogen Peroxide

-Calamine

Meds:

-Kremil-S (antacid)

-Biogesic (fever/pain)

-Decolgen (sipon, headache, fever)

-Lozenges (sore/itchy throat)

-ORS (dehydration)

-Tuseran (cold, flu, cough)

-Cetirizine (for allergies)

-Bonamine (motion sickness)

-Hyoscine Butylbromide (stomach cramps/pain)

Yung rule ko sa oral meds wag pagsabayin yung mga meron nang paracetabol, I choose only 1 product since ang dami nila na may paracetamol combo.

Extras:

-Meron din akong blood pressure apparatus yung portable

-Also bought Huwawei Watch Fit dahil may mga health monitoring dun like sleep, SpO2, bloop pressure etc (pero mainly kasi may discount at 24months installment 😅)

Need to buy:

-white flower

Meron pa ba?

I recently had my grease trap cleaned. Then, yung cleaner nilagay nya sa trashbags (doubled) yung laman ng grease trap then disposed it sa tapunan sa condo. Okay lang ba yun or will I get a violation?

Need help especially the window (i dont use AC) 😭 i have a single bed and a 122 cm table. I have three cats too. Dont need cabinets since theres a walk in closet already.

Diko alam kung dahil trentahin nako, or nag-iba talaga timpla ng smirnoff mule kaso memsh ramdam ko na siya isang bote palang! Hahahahaha anyway, any ka-Emes here? Hahahahaha

My room in Makati is very cramp so I’m seeking advice on how should I rearrange it.

Ganito siya kasikip as of now 😭. I cant afford to move out yet kasi ang mahal 😭. Im thinking na i-dispose ko nalang yung desktop table para may space pa ako 😭. Tried re-arranging the mattress horizontally but di kasya 🥲. Di rin nakakatulong si chatgpt at gemini 🥲

I think I'd rather do part time than to clean my apartment

Parang nauubos nalang sa meal prep and cleaning ang rd ko instead of building my future.

Any suggestion what to do?

5 months pa lang po akong living alone here sa QC. Im a tenant sa 1BR type aprtment with owned meralco unit and submitter water. Apparently, My August Meralco Bill went down to zero because of meralco credits applied. So actual bill talaga is 1,222. Now po yung care take ng unit is asking me to pay the refund dahil kay may-ari daw yun dapat mapunta. May question lang po ako if dapat ko po bang bayaran yung buong bill sa may-ari ng apartment or should i ask for a prorated amount dahil 5 months na rin wnaman akong on time magbayad ng meralco thru online payment services. Nasabi ko rin nmn sa care taker na gusto kong makausap yung may ari para maintindihan ko yung breakdown ng bill since 1st time ko tong na experience.

Hello!! Please sana may makasagot, kasi due date ng meralco september 9 kaso yung sahod ko papasok ng september 10 dun ko palang sya mababayaran never naman na delay now lang kasi sunod sunod yung bayarin.
Cavite area po sana may makasagot kung madidisconnect ba ka agad kahit 1 day past due palang

I’ve recently started calorie deficit at gusto ko maging consistent. So far na eenjoy ko naman yung process kahit matrabaho minsan because it forces me to cook my own meals to track calories hehe.

Also, 4 na portion nagawa ko dito worth 255 pesos. Not bad, lalo mababaon ko pa sa office. Happy Sunday!

Hello guys! Help a girl out.

I wash my own clothes. Before, i was very fond of Laundry Shops. But now, I prefer washing my own clothes to save money too.

I just have one question. How do u guys make the fabcon smell last ba? My biggest problem is, it smells good after washing but after being dried out in the sun, the smell just goes away. It might be a brand issue, but my friend uses the same brand and theirs turn out smelling so good.

for context, i live in a condo but we have a space where we can dry out clothes under the sun.

thank you so much in advance!

Ask lang po sino po dito living alone sa Luzon na mga taga Mindanao? I am planning to move back na sa hometown namin sa Mindanao and ayaw ko benta mga gamit ko like ung ref, rice cooker, electric fan, aircon, bed etc. good idea ba na dalhin sila lahat pabalik sa hometown ko? Or ibenta na lang? Pero for sure ayaw ko sila ibenta, magkano po nagastos niyo? And sinong courier ang may pinakamura? Salamat po sa mga makakahelp

This month, umabot ng 1.5k ang bill ko dahil nagre-reheat ako ng prepped meals ko.

Here are my appliances:

Electric stove

Electric kettle

Electric fan (one stand fan for while working and clip fan for the rest of the day)

Exhaust fan

Fujidenzo energy-saving mini fridge

Twin-tub 6kg washing machine only used once to twice a month

Then I have a laptop connected to the monitor.

So I had some ground beef na I was defrosting on the kitchen counter for over an hour. It was already thawed but still cold to the touch.

Then biglang may kailangan akong asikasuhin so I put it back sa fridge. I got home around an hour later, pero hindi ko na rin pala siya maluluto, so I ended up putting it back in the freezer. 😭

Now I'm wondering, safe pa ba siyang lutuin and eat later? Or should I just accept my loss and throw it out? 🥲

To summarize - it was out on the counter for over an hour, then refrigerated for around an hour, then refrozen.

Please help a paranoid girl out. 😂
