7 SIGNS NA PA FALL SI CRUSH - 7 SIGNS NA PA FALL SI CRUSH The post 7 SIGNS NA PA FALL SI CRUSH appeared first on Sa Piling ni Jadee.2 years ago
Since I can’t attend SB19's upcoming concerts, I’ve turned to collecting their PCs instead. It’s time-consuming to line up for concert-sponsored promos, unlike Watsons', where you can just shop online or through the app.
Anyway, I already had Ken and Pablo’s Style 1 PCs but was missing their Style 2, so I decided to order through GrabFood—along with 6 donuts. I’ve done this before, but this time I ordered from a different branch.
It took a while for the rider to deliver, but that was fine since it was drizzling. When I opened my order (which my eldest received), I was surprised to find no PCs included. No message or heads-up from the merchant, and I couldn’t contact them because the chat option was disabled.
I checked with the rider, and he said he could only deliver what was given to him. Aren’t they supposed to double-check if all items are included? He suggested I contact Grab Support. This was my first time experiencing something like this (or maybe I just forgot), but I submitted a report through the app. To my surprise, I received an immediate refund—no questions asked. Although I was a bit disappointed, since I’d need to order again to get those PCs, it was still a pleasant surprise.
A few minutes later, I got a message from a Dunkin' representative asking for my delivery address and the PC I’d ordered. I provided the details, and my A'tin 💙 was thrilled to find not only did they send the PCs I’d ordered, but they also included an extra PC of Stell and an Icy Choco.
After the unexpected rollercoaster of emotions, I ended up with 2 donuts, 2 coffees, 3 PCs, and an Icy Choco—all for free! Huge thanks to GrabFood and Dunkin' for resolving the issue so quickly and going above and beyond. This is definitely how you build customer loyalty!

I stumbled upon this series on Netflix, and the ML on the movie poster immediately drew me in. However, the Netflix poster is different from the one on IMDB (left pic). From the very first episode, I was hooked and couldn’t resist binge-watching the subsequent episodes. I became so absorbed that I even connected ML to a character in a game I’m currently addicted to—though they don’t look similar, they definitely share a similar vibe.
I was curious if ML (Luo Yunxi) usually has this physique, as he seemed quite slim. Maybe the story called for him to be skinny; at times, his facial shots resembled a dragon’s, especially since he also plays the Ming Ye character. Initially, I thought this might be a reincarnation, but after a quick search on Reddit, I learned that Tantai Jin is not the reincarnation of Ming Ye (East Sea Dragon/God of War). Anway, I love his expressive eyes, and his aura is incredibly inviting.
I managed to finish all 40 episodes in just four days! It was a rollercoaster of emotions. By the time I reached the final episode, I was so invested that I felt like I was hyperventilating—I tend to get that way with certain shows or movies. There are only a few that have had such an effect on me, and I still haven’t finished those or can’t bring myself to watch the same movie again.
Now that I’ve completed the final episode, I’m not sure I can find another series or movie that can top this one. I started exploring ML's discography and am eager to check out his other projects, but I think this one will stay with me for a while.
If you're searching for multivitamins your child will genuinely enjoy, Health Fusion's Multivites is a great choice. These tasty gummies are packed with essential vitamins and minerals to support growth and development, making them ideal for health-conscious parents.
We've tried several brands, and Health Fusion stands out as the best so far. Taking these gummies is so much more bearable than taking vitamin pills, which makes us look forward to the next gummy every day. They also offer a fantastic range of vegan supplements. I’ve personally tried Gluta Fairy and Beauty Bunny, both of which have been game-changers for me. They’ve helped me cope with stress and boost my energy during late-night work shifts when I used to feel drained. Plus, they provide benefits for my skin, hair, and nails. Health Fusion truly makes a difference in our daily wellness routine!

I just watched this now because I’ve been so busy, and SB19 never fails to lift my spirits. Their Show Break videos are especially uplifting.
I discovered them last year during a tough time when I was feeling really down. Watching their vlogs allowed me to get to know them better, and I admired them not just for their talents but also for their personalities.
Their songs might seem a bit challenging to understand at first due to their unique style, yet once you get into them, they become deeply relatable. Their emo tracks make you feel heard and validated during moments when you feel misunderstood, and they motivate you to improve, unlike other songs that might leave you feeling drown in your sadness.
Beyond being my source of happiness, they’ve also encouraged me to strive for personal growth and to appreciate myself more. That’s why I enrolled in PUP's Open University to pursue my college degree, hoping to complete it this time while balancing work and family life.

An eye-opener not only being an artists but more on in real life journey. People tend to forget the behind the scenes in everything. They easily judge people on how they see them or portray them in public.
As an A'tin from the Gento era, I was excited to watch "Pagtatag! The Documentary," especially since I brought my partner along to share my enthusiasm for this PPop group. I wanted him to understand why I’m so into them. My last major boy band loves were Boyzone and Westlife, and the last OPM bands I followed closely were Parokya ni Edgar and Eraserheads.
I chose to watch it at Trinoma because they offered tickets at a lower price compared to other malls, plus they included a photocard and free popcorn with each ticket. I was curious about the lower price and free popcorn and later discovered it might be because the restrooms are outside the cinema. If you need to use the restroom during the movie, you might miss 5 minutes or more, especially if there’s a long line.
As for the documentary, it felt a bit lacking. At just over an hour long, it seemed more like a behind-the-scenes look at their concert tour rather than a comprehensive documentary. There were mentions of how foreign fans connect with their music, and I was hoping to see clips of them singing along and getting emotional over SB19’s Filipino tracks. I remember seeing such scenes in their reels or other vlogs, but they weren’t included here. I’m not sure if I missed them or if they weren’t shown for privacy reasons.
Additionally, there was a segment where the group's sound and music track, along with the lights, went off during an event, yet they continued performing. It wasn’t clear whether this was due to technical issues or if it was intentional, especially since the next segment showed their director instructing not to turn off the mics. Including this bit felt unnecessary since the reason wasn’t clarified—unless I missed it.
Overall, the documentary had the potential to attract more casual fans if it had provided a deeper, more engaging look into the group while capturing the essence of the Pagtatag Era.

Prior to this, we were at Quantum Skyview to pick up the merchandise I bought online for the documentary film. This is also where the PAGTATAG! THE DOCUMENTARY FAN FEST is being held.
We arrived just in time for a surprise visit from JahStell. Although there were only a few fans present, we couldn't get close to the stage or see them clearly since it wasn't elevated enough. Fortunately, my phone’s zoom feature helped us get a clearer view.

A colleague recommended this series to me, and I found it enjoyable to watch. It's a charming rom-com with plenty of laughs and just a hint of drama that kept me entertained throughout.
However, the series was ongoing when I started watching, and I'm not particularly fond of waiting for new episodes. I generally prefer completed series so I can binge-watch without losing interest. Despite this, I managed to finish it since I didn’t have anything else lined up on Netflix.
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just made my first withdrawal from my TikTok Shop earnings! 🎉 Balancing a full-time job, college, and managing life as a mom of four on my own, I haven’t been able to post consistently. I earn commissions when buyers click directly through my content. The likelihood of making a sale depends on how many people see my posts, the demand for the products, and the competition from other affiliates' content.
Even though my follower count is modest and the earnings are still small, it’s amazing to see some passive income coming in from my content. It’s proof that even with a busy schedule and a smaller audience, there’s potential to earn extra cash—which I can now use for my TikTok budol or "deservekoto" buys. As a solo parent, I have to prioritize my family and essential needs, so it’s wonderful to indulge in something for myself without any guilt!
If you’re considering diving into TikTok affiliate marketing, don’t let follower count or competition discourage you—every bit of effort counts!

I’m glad I decided to check out Maharaja after seeing a post from our TM. Initially, I was hesitant because I don’t recall ever having watched an Indian film before. From the small video clips that went viral on social media, it seemed like Indian movies often feature a lot of dancing and singing, with some scenes appearing quite exaggerated.
However, since I’ve watched most of my preferred genres on Netflix, I’ve recently been exploring documentaries. So, I decided to give Maharaja a chance.
The first part of the movie was a bit slow and hard to get into, partly because I wasn’t familiar with the actors and the story felt drawn-out. The film picked up when the lead actor began acting in an unexpected way, which sparked my curiosity and led me to piece together the plot like a jigsaw puzzle. This type of engaging and complex storytelling is exactly what I enjoy. I hope to see more movies/series like this on Netflix.

Damon Gameau embarks on an experiment to document the effects of a high sugar diet on a healthy body.
I watched this documentary for my GEED 007 (STS) Science, Technology, and Society class to answer the exercise questions, which I will submit later on.
Damon Gameau tried a high-sugar diet for 60 days to show how it affects health and raises awareness about hidden sugars in food. He wants to challenge misconceptions about healthy eating and reveal the impact of excess sugar on the body and mind. Throughout the experiment, he learns that many supposedly healthy foods contain hidden sugars, and excessive sugar intake can lead to weight gain, fatigue, mood swings, and other health issues. Gameau hopes his experience will encourage people to make better food choices and push for clearer food labeling.
This documentary exposes the deceptive marketing tactics used by the food industry to promote products loaded with hidden sugars, even those marketed as "healthy" or "low-fat." The film
highlights several examples to identify these tactics:
Misleading Labels: The documentary reveals how food manufacturers often use misleading
labels and claims to make their products seem healthier than they actually are. For instance,
products labeled as "low-fat" or "diet" may contain high amounts of added sugars to compensate
for the loss of flavor from reduced fat content.
Hidden Sugars in Health Foods: Gameau explores how many foods perceived as healthy, such
as yogurt, cereal bars, and fruit juices, actually contain significant amounts of added sugars.
These hidden sugars contribute to the overall sugar content of the product, often without
consumers realizing it.
Children's Products: The film also examines how the food industry targets children with sugary products marketed as healthy snacks or breakfast options. Gameau highlights examples such as
flavored milk, breakfast cereals, and fruit snacks marketed to children, which often contain high
levels of added sugars.
Ambiguous Ingredients: Gameau exposes how food manufacturers use ambiguous or unfamiliar ingredients on food labels to disguise the presence of added sugars. By using terms like "maltodextrin," "dextrose," or "high-fructose corn syrup," companies make it difficult for
consumers to identify and avoid products with high sugar content.
"That Sugar Film" shows why we need clearer food labels and encourages people to be smarter
about what they eat. It exposes how the food industry tricks us with marketing and urges viewers
to question the healthiness of packaged foods, so they can make healthier choices.
"That Sugar Film" shows how both personal choices and the food environment influence what we eat. Damon Gameau's experiment illustrates how it's not just about willpower; the abundance of sugary options around us makes it hard to choose healthy foods. The film reveals the challenge of making good choices in a world filled with tempting, sugar-loaded products.
In this documentary, we find firsthand accounts and testimonials from people who've faced health problems because of sugar. These stories vary, but they all highlight the negative effects of excessive sugar intake, such as weight gain, mood swings, and dental issues. These stories show how sugar affects both individuals and whole communities, highlighting the importance of raising awareness and taking action to tackle sugar-related health problems.

After young Riley is uprooted from her Midwest life and moved to San Francisco, her emotions - Joy, Fear, Anger, Disgust and Sadness - conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house, and school.
I had to rewatch this movie to prepare my movie review for our GEED 001: Understanding the Self class. I’ll be submitting it later.
Joy: the vibrant and enthusiastic emotion in Riley's mind.
Throughout the film, she learns that happiness doesn't always come from avoiding negative emotions, but rather from embracing a full spectrum of feelings. She represents the pursuit of happiness and the importance of acknowledging the significance of sadness in life. Joy's journey teaches us that it's okay to feel sad and that it's an essential part of emotional growth.
Sadness: initially seems like an unwanted and burdensome emotion in Riley's mind.
However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that her role is crucial for Riley's emotional well-being. Sadness teaches us the importance of acknowledging and processing difficult emotions, demonstrating that sometimes it's okay not to be okay. Her character emphasizes the necessity of allowing oneself to feel sadness and the healing power of expressing vulnerability.
Anger: portrayed as a fiery and impulsive emotion, often leading to humorous situations in the movie.
Despite his initial tendency to cause chaos, Anger showcases the significance of acknowledging and appropriately channeling frustration. He highlights the necessity of expressing anger constructively and learning to manage it in a healthy way. His character demonstrates the importance of understanding and controlling strong emotions without letting them overpower rational thinking.
Disgust: serves as a protective mechanism for Riley, preventing her from engaging in situations that might be harmful or unpleasant.
Through her witty and quick-thinking demeanor, Disgust highlights the significance of setting personal boundaries and making sound judgments. She emphasizes the importance of self-respect and the need to avoid compromising one's values or well-being. Disgust's character teaches us the value of discernment and the importance of maintaining personal integrity.
Fear: portrayed as a cautious and vigilant emotion, constantly alerting Riley to potential dangers.
His character highlights the importance of being aware of potential risks and the need to approach unfamiliar situations with caution. Fear teaches us the significance of healthy risk assessment and the necessity of taking calculated steps to ensure safety and well-being. His role emphasizes the balance between being cautious and embracing new experiences to foster personal growth.
These characters collectively symbolize the intricate nature of human emotions and provide valuable insights into the significance of understanding and managing them effectively. "Inside Out" beautifully portrays the importance of embracing a full spectrum of emotions, acknowledging their roles in shaping our experiences, and learning to navigate life's challenges with resilience and emotional intelligence.
