Shavkat @Shavkat (140772) • Philippines 22 Aug

As of today, it has been three days that we have not had internet. I kept on following up on the issue with my internet service provider (ISP) and gave up on the idea of calling them. Thanks to our neighbor's ISP because I was...

rsa101 At the very least, you were assured that you would receive a replacement. Many times, they won't bother, leaving you feeling cheated. I hope they keep their promise.

rsa101 Still gloomy at my end but it’s not raining. I guess you can do lught laundry for today. That way you unload some of your laundry at least. Don’t do full laundry at the moment because weather is still pretty unpredictable right now.

Shoed the homeless away, was it rude?

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (52499) • Philippines 21 Aug

Yesterday I was on my way home from the pet shop. When I arrived at the gate, I saw a homeless man with a bike hanging out in front. Obviously he was a beggar, but why was he there in front of the gate? I didn't say anything when...

Ube cake

Jenaisle @Jenaisle (16265) • Philippines 21 Aug

My favorite dessert is ube (sweet yam) cake, just like in the picture. If you haven't tasted it yet, you may want to taste some. It has a mildly sweet, earthy flavor with hints of coconut and shallots. Its chewy, soft texture...

Shavkat @Shavkat (140772) • Philippines 22 Aug
