ngl PLV statement on the Ama Namin thing kinda make sense to me. i get that it could be interpreted as ridicule or mockery but at least from the video it really looks like everyone’s just having a good time
idk but if i were almighty all-powerful omnipotent everything i’d be sad if my followers would boring sluggish lame af when they worship my name lmao
imagine all the bangers and bops written in your name and your followers draw the line at drag + punk rock wtf is up with that. Gregorian chants are a few notes away from sounding like devilish incantations
sobrang annoying talaga netong walang tigil na ulan. di na natapos! di tuloy ako makalabas ng matino para bumili ng food
Okay sana yung ulan, kaso pagsamasamahin mo yung baha at horror ng commute dahil sa incompetence at lack of foresight ng mga lider natin. Pwe.
Without warning pa. Nabasa tuloy yung mga damit na pinapatuyo nung maaraw.
It is. I’m curious though if the country has ever had a windy day only? Like no showers at all? Possible ba yun?
Oo pre, pagkapasok yung nov to feb na taglamig season, pagka panahon ng amihan.
Ayos, hindi na WFH si Nikki de Guzman! 😍
Ayeeh, ThinkPad user. 🥰
TIL of Silbo Gomero (informally called Silbo), a whistling language originating from La Gomera, part of the Canary Islands under Spanish rule.
Silbo/Sylbo language in action (link).
While the community of La Gomera speak Spanish, Silbo is a required subject for La Gomera students, and considered a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. They had to resort to such communication as the terrain (mostly ravines and valleys) usually made direct, face-to-face communication inconvenient and impractical. Think of it this way: going to your neighbor the next mountain over for some juicy Maritess time is tiring, so might as well whistle it instead!
The Silbo language was almost made extinct due to advancements in technology, but thankfully, government intervention has kept the language alive and well, albeit a small fraction of the whole Spanish population only using it (Canary Islands).
The whistled language replaces each vowel or consonant with a whistling sound: two distinct whistles replace the five Spanish vowels, and there are four whistles for consonants.
Although the Silbo language is basically Spanish converted to whistle, according to the teacher in the youtube video linked above, theoretically one can use their own language. Just apply the necessary phonetic/audio rules (sorry don’t know the exact term) and you’re golden.
Absolutely fascinating language based on sounds alone!
Have a great weekend mga Phlemmings.
whistles Magbalik intro in Silbo
EDIT: Holy Shit, Turkey also has such a language! It’s called kuş dili literally Turkish Bird Language.
Vice has a mini-documentary on the subject. I’ve gotta say parang ibon talaga.
Absolutely fascinating.
Hello, mental health! Catholic guilt and internalized homophobia are waving.
Nanganak yung doggy namin na whitey, 2 puppers alive yung una at dead yung isa :'c Yung unang puppy name nya is Astrid kase meaning is small star then yung kapatid naman nya is Aster kasi star din yung meaning and its a kind of flower din. 1st litter pa man din ng whitey namin.
Anshereeep sana, ramen for today 🥺🍜
bakit sana?
La pang pambili HAHAHHA emz
I’m broke. Jin or Shin ramyun nlng.
Ang hirap magtype sa tablet. Ang laki 🙃
My eczema is acting again. Paano kaya mawala to?
Anyway, good evening, peeps. Sana masarap dinner niyo.
I am not sure where I should go from here.
Then why not stay for the time being?
because this is a dark place to be at
And is that a bad thing? The womb is a dark, warm, and comforting place. A place for us to get ready for the bright wide world outside.
it’s not a comforting place, that’s for sure. and it isn’t warm either
Sorry to hear that. Getting stuck is bad, but getting stuck at a bad place is way a lot worse.
I guess that’s your destination for the time being then: anywhere but there.
Preferably, someplace where you can take a rest and take stock of what’s happening. Someplace where you can figure out what to do next. Kung baga, kung naulan sa labas at hindi maka-tuloy ng commute, pasok muna sa nearest fastfood or convenience store, bili ng cup noodles at siopao, mag-isip. (Nagka-cravings tuloy ako bigla, lol!)
cravings would be nice haha
But seriously, mejo joke, pero parang ganun ata talaga eh. Kung naliligaw ka, sige lang, hanap ng tindahan sa kanto, convenience store, o di kaya fastfood. Kumain, pahinga ng konti, o di kaya kahit na tambay lang muna habang nag-iisip ng kung anong gagawin.
Bonus points na yung mainitan ang pakiramdam mo, pampawala ng sakit sa sikmura at gutom, at yung makapagpapagaan ng pakridamdam—kahit na malabnaw yung sabaw at puro tinapay ang siopao.
Ginising ako ni miming 2 beses ngayong umaga hays antok pa ko ih 😴
Oi asan cat tax mo!
Microsoft Office has a new default font called Aptos replacing Calibri.
Nice. Looks thicker than default Calibri. LMAO kung kailan nag Calibri ang US Government, that’s when Aptos is released.
Parang mas maganda tignan ung sans serif Aptos vs. Serif Aptos
Hindi talaga ako masasanay sa free massage tuwing nagpapagupit, lmao.
Perfect weekend weather in Baguio~ Trash Taste #160 na.
Lemm.ee seems to be down right now.
It’s back online now
Salamat! Ano kayang nangyari?
Happy weekend, phlemmies!
Today’s Ask PHlemmy: What is the “don’t go down there” street in your city?
Cavite
Edit: But in all seriousness, as a QC boy, almost every part of the city here is dangerous. If you park your car and leave it unattended in Visayas Ave, you’re going to come back to a broken window. If you walk alone and not a local in Pag-Asa or Agham, you’d likely run into trouble.
That’s surprising for me who have lived in Pasay as a child. Akala ko mas safe ang QC. Tapos yung area sa tapat ng Pisay? Feels like home, lol! (Though hindi mo ako mapapalakad dun lalo na kung gabi.)
But I admit, I was warned about really sketchy areas sa QC. I think the key is not to “look like a local” but rather, “look like you’re not worth the effort,” lol! Kung kaya, totoohanin na! IDK tho, maybe I exude that “batang skwatter” vibes that I’ve been spared, or I just haven’t been outside enough.
Noong nag-aral ako sa Pisay tumira ako sa tapat ng PCMC lol
Kamusta naman dun? Parang normal residential area kasi siya sa akin eh.
Mas nadaanan ko yung sa tapat ng PCMC pero pag galing naman ako ng SM North kita ko rin yung sa Agham road and BIR road. Parang normal lang naman. Parang madilim lang pag gabi….
Tbf, medyo “safe” na sa may Pisay area these days because of the development in that area, particularly Vertis North. Alala ko I accidentally asked the North Ave bus to drop me off thinking na Trinoma na, yun pala I was still several meters away and I ended up alighting to a dimly-lit street on the opposite side of Agham/NIA road at 1AM. May guards so I didn’t feel scared at all.
I think what makes QC a “don’t go down there” city is because there’s clusters of squatters everywhere. I don’t want to sound “matapobre” but when there’s a squatters area, it typically has hoodlums and other criminals and they also don’t take too kindly of outsiders. There will be a gated subdivision but just behind it are squatters. A posh mall but when you go up to the roofdeck your view are squatters. Business district but if you wander too far away you’ll end up in a shanty town.
Nice to hear about the improvements in the Pisay area, I guess?
I do understand the sentiment na delikado for outsiders to wander around in a squatter’s area. Having grown up in (or near) one, I think the key point really is “they don’t take too kindly to outsiders.” That much, I can attest from personal experience.
Iwas na lang talaga para safe. This is actually in line din dun sa sagot ko kay the Yaya. Kung wala ka naman talagang pakay para mag-suot sa mga esquinita, just don’t.
Not just a street, but… Familiar ba kayo sa Bitukang Manok Road 😰 magagaling mga nagddrive don, just becoz
Nung bata pa ako, yung mga esquinita sa area na ang tawag ay Sto. Niño. Eto yung area sa ilalim ng spur galing ng Baclaran LRT station papuntang depot.
Bukod pa kasi sa “usual dangers,” sa area na yun in genral, nakakaligaw rin talaga siya. Wala ka rin namang dahilan para mag-suot dun kung di ka taga-roon.
Santa Lucia, Novaliches
maraming loko-loko dun, tsaka pag sumasakay kami dati ng taxi no-go zone sa kanila HAHAHAHAHAHA
