For me, it's SB19 and Until Then.

SB19 learned what they could from the Korean system and took its own Filipino-based identity. They're an example of what Filipinos can do if they study and learn the best parts of foreigners and apply what is sensible to our needs. Frankly, they're more talented than BTS because SB19 can release a larger variety of music.

The storytelling in Until Then (on hold because I don't have time) is impressive up to where I am now (midway? slightly into the second half?) and has a similar polish and quality as visual novels like Steins;Gate and Clannad. The VN format fits perfectly in a Filipino context because Filipinos can create great stories and VNs are not capital-intensive to release.

Yes, let them cook!

Homecooked Filipino meals are so good.

I used to have a strong sense of cultural cringe on being Filipino because of the problems the country faces.

I can only speak for myself. At a time when I'm exposed almost exclusively to local sources, I thought that the Philippines is so bad, the rest of the world so good, that foreigners see us as invaders wanting to take their jobs and money. I also thought that we lacked the self-awareness to realize it and we unknowingly taint the so-called better nations with our presence. That the only cure is to completely purge yourself of your Filipino-ness.

Nowadays, the sterotypes I read about are usually positive (kind, hospitable, etc.) or occupational (maids, nurses, mariners—at least they're not criminal professions).

At least ganun ako dati, and I struggle on it from time to time.

Madalas na sabihin na Filipinos have an inferiority complex. Rather, we tend to have simultaneous superiority and inferiority complexes. Or to rephrase, we tend to see ourselves or the country as main characters.

The inferiority complex is reality shattering the initial feelings of superiority or exceptionalism. Napaisip na ako, why are we so engrossed with comparing ourselves with our geographic neighbors? Bakit gutom tayo sa validation?

May point ang looking outside the country to find what needs to be improved within. Ang problema lang, naliligaw ang rason kung bakit gusto natin umasenso ang Pilipinas. I admire the drive, kaso lang, madalas, gusto lang natin na gumanda ang Pilipinas para lang masabi unironically "Pilipinas Numbawan!".

To me, eto ang obvious na reason kung bakit tayo obsessed na ikumpara sarili natin sa iba.

Tama nga na instead, we should compare us to ourselves in the past. Are we better than our past selves? Dapat, gusto natin umunlad ang Pilipinas kasi gusto natin sumaya ang buhay ng kapwa Pilipino.

I do, because I believe I'm more than any preconceived stereotypes people have regarding Filipinos.

Starting from a mid-90s (Pentium 2 original CPU) PC case, I plan to build a PC designed for high-quality BD/ripped 4K BD playback, paired with an HDR monitor.

What pointers need to be considered?

The author, Aki Hamaji, may have just referred to the Hanshin Tigers-Yomiuri Giants AND the Jacksonville Jaguars-Tennessee Titans rivalries.

My profession is in programming. Initially, my dad tried to teach me Javascript. It was a struggle and couldn't get it.

A few years later, I took up computer science in college and that's where it all clicked: I can imagine the end result. It's a matter of being curious and finding (or I daresay... hacking) my way to that conclusion. Programming languages have a very funny way of allowing you to do just that. In studying computer science, I discovered the art of engineering all kinds of software-based solutions.

Because my way of solving problems is more deductive than inductive, I have to consciously build foundational knowledge and routines. Constant learning and insatiable curiosity is required for me to identify when my hunches are wrong and discard them accordingly.

My birthday is September 10. September 11 2001 happened. While I'm not directly affected, it messed me up mentally because I thought I had something to do with it. It didn't help that the year after, I saw Space Shuttle Columbia on the launch pad in what would be its final mission.

I saw the 3-episode premiere. The sexual assault scenes are limited to that episode. You should be fine.

I look like I'm straight out of school, sometimes people explain things to me like I know nothing.

Not that I think they're automatically malicious. Sometimes I find myself in the "explaining" position because I think not explaining makes me sound I'm cooped in an ivory tower.

Increasingly common Hoopla W.

Kanopy also has a good selection. They've got a few Sentai stuff and was surprised when I saw Amagi there of all things.

Interesting. It's both the feeling and the act for me.

In Filipino, it's usyoso

I got my first 5G-capable phone noong Dec 2023, right before I visited PH from a sizeable city sa US. Mas nauna ko pang maranasan ang 5G sa Manila kesa dun sa local area ko.
