    Today’s Ask PHlemmings: What do you miss about quarantine in 2020?

      I miss the slow-paced lifestyle. I loved the feeling of waking up and having nothing on my agenda. No plans, no responsibility, no expectations. I could exist without having to worry about keeping up with anxiety-inducing social demands.

      The memes, like this parody of Metal Gear Solid.

      Meron din prepper group in FB that wanted to team up together for a real life version of The Division so that they could come to people’s aid during the pandemic against looters and rioters. Dami ko tawa kasi sa wakas nakahanap na sila ng excuse i-relive yung fantasy nila.

      i love that a lot of artists at that time were doing lives on insta, tiktok, etc. made it feel like they were somehow accessible hehe

      PhP38/L gas prices is my practical answer.

      Pero in my heart siguro, yung smogless skyline ng Manila. Yung mga photos na may visible mountains sa timeline ko at that time probably helped me in coping with the situation.

      The massive amount of free time na bigla na lang ihahanda sa’yo on a silver platter.

      Wished na nagamit ko yun for upskilling rather than binging, though didn’t regretted doing the latter din naman.

    Siguro instead of feeling bitterness towards those who choose to go back to Reddit, we can instead help each other build this community up to be its own thing with its own culture and inside jokes.

    Tiwala lang, magkakaroon din tayo ng poop knife stories dito soon. 😌✨

      Si Clintoy lang naman bitter sa mga bumalik ahahaha

      But in all seriousness — while some users can be annoying — kay Spez + yung mga alipores nya pa din nakafocus inis ko. That’s also why I’m still in self-imposed Reddit exile. Well, bukod sa pagbaklas ng r/thevisoria.

      Rome was not built in a day and all that hoopla.

      Also if we stay mad at the users, we’re just playing into the hands of corporate: to make it a mods vs users or users vs users thing when the real enemy is Steve and is greed.

      True. Sobrang misdirected talaga nung aggression nung iba sa mga bumalik sa subreddits nung nag-reopen.

      I want Lemmy to thrive para naman hindi lang sa Reddit napupunta yung information but the transfer won’t happen in a snap. They can’t expect people to acclimate here agad. It’s like forcing redditors to be comfortable in a bare house.

    May bagong trip si Kimchi (the one in my profile pic) Ayaw kumain ng dry food kapag nasa bowl, kelangan HAND FED para kumain. Gahd. High maintenance.

        Semi-polite lang. In fairness sa kanya, soft paws (no claws) sya kapag nakikipaglaro samen, pero nangangagat 🤦‍♀️

        Tapos medyo default Karen face sya kapag naghahantay ng food. Very disappointed na late ng 5mins ung dinner nya

        Legit. Napaka mahal na nga ng food nya (Orijen), gusto sinusubuan pa.

        Cuties na lang kaya bigay ko sa mokong na to para at least hindi masakit sa bulsa. 🤦‍♀️

        Same tayo ng naming convention.

        Una ko actually pinangalanan ung kapatid nya, si Oh Ren Ji, or just Renji. Tapos para korean theme din. Kim Chi. Ahahaha

        Ay pwede! Though shallow-ish naman yung bowl nila

        Pero I’ll try na sa plato nga sya pakainin. Sana naman hindi magdemand na dapat Corelle yung plato nya. Ahahaha.

        Thank you for the advice!

        edit: Corelle kasi hindi Corel.

    Ayan, may sakit na ako officially. Buti na lang nagpa check up ako despite my fears. Ni-recommend sakin 1 week bed rest + meds. Hindi ko alam kung ma-ppush yan, but I would welcome bed rest actually lol. Sabi ko na nga iba na yung sakit nung feeling ko kukunin na ako ni lord eh.

    Grabe pala yung hilo ko kanina pansin na ng mga tao tapos muntik pa ako mahulog sa hagdanan. So that’s why they kept asking me kung kaya ko pa maglakad. Hindi ko talaga napansin na nilalagnat na ako, ganun na ako kasabaw during check up yet I was still paying attention to the time bc gurl iniwan ko yung work ko and may TAT yun and all. I pat myself on the back for that time management manuever.

    It’s nice to be alive. Hindi ko na uulitin yung dire-diretso mag work and etc shutangina ko. So much for experimentation 💀

    It’s nice to be diligent pero wag tayo maging masyadong masipag, self. I’m sorry, but I have a thing for good to perfect attendance and just general decent track record 😔😭 I am that kind of person 🥲

    Okay since new universe, new personality na rin dapat ako. Kaso I still can’t change myself. Back in Reddit I post a lot about my relationship troubles and I thought kaya ko na tiisin. But please allow me to vent out. I have no support groups. I think my friends hate me din. Literally nowhere to dump my emotional baggage to.

    I just hope things will turn out okay. However that may be. I feel really alone. Been mood tracking lately and by the love of god, mas lalo lang naexpose na I always feel down for the last 2 weeks. I’m afraid that I might lose my job if this continues on kasi ang crippling din talaga.

    I hope everyone is doing great. I envy you, guys. I wish I can feel genuine happiness again.
