getting all sassy when you're rightfully called out by filipinos for claiming you "developed" a recipe that's already, for a long time, been a filipino invention borne out of innovation in times when dairy was expensive while also claiming to champion aapi month isn't a good look
@JulianKJarboe 1. Filipino ice cream is made with coconut milk.
2. Ube is a tuber.
You’re not developing anything new or vegan in a dessert that’s been around longer than you’ve been alive
Devil May Cry fans I'm so fucking sorry. I'm so so sorry. You guys are being thrown dirt cookies made of piss and dead roaches by someone who spits in your face while we're getting A5 Wagyu filet mignon and a handjob. I'm so sorry. You don't deserve this
Years ago during the Duterte regime, Bato dela Rosa (PNP Chief at the time) was in my city and caused a commotion just to eat at one of the most beloved classic restaurants here. He had the whole street closed off just to save parking for his entourage.

Saw this post from Antonette Aquino on Facebook - sharing it here. This is what she said:
No, I did not leave the aircon running 24/7.
My Meralco bill came in at ₱9,791.78. So let me break it down because nobody else will.
Generation charge alone is ₱5,266.66. That’s 54% of my entire bill. Meralco’s actual cut? ₱1,730.98. And that number hasn’t moved since 2022. What keeps going up is everything sitting on top of it.
Here’s what’s actually eating your money:
System Loss — ₱486.83
You are paying for stolen electricity. Illegal connections, meter tampering, jumpers. Republic Act 7832 lets Meralco pass the cost of electricity theft straight to paying customers.
Universal Charges — ₱201.96
Part of this goes toward paying off the National Power Corporation’s debts. Old debts. From decisions made before most of us were even working.
Government Taxes — ₱989.81
The 12% VAT is not just on what you consumed. It’s stacked on top of every other charge, including the subsidies you’re already paying for. So yes, you are paying tax on stolen electricity. Tax on an old government debt. Tax on a subsidy you do not even benefit from.
FiT-All and GEA-All — ₱149.59 combined
Two separate renewable energy levies running at the same time. The second one was quietly added to bills in February 2026. Both government-mandated. Neither one is optional.
FYI..none of this is illegal. It’s all backed by law. But legal and fair are not the same thing.
The middle class does not steal electricity. We do not qualify for lifeline rates. We do not get 4Ps. We just pay full VAT, fund everyone else’s discounts, and absorb costs that should never have been ours to begin with. Every month. Without relief.
What actually needs to change:
1. Reform the generation charge. One line item cannot be more than half your bill and go unchallenged.
2. Stop passing system loss to consumers. Other countries make the utility absorb it. We should demand the same.
3. Move faster on renewables. Lower generation costs long-term. That transition is already overdue.

You can always dress up the dead and make them look like combatants. May track record na kayo diyan. Walang pinagkaiba sa "nanlaban" narrative ng mga pulis noong kasagsagan ng War on Drugs ni Digong.
Nabubulok na siya sa kulungan. Kayo rin, balang-araw.
they killed alyssa. the AFP that massacres dozens of farmers on negros and labels them “NPA” killed a person i knew, with whom i traded comments on articles in kasarinlan & who always seemed ready to laugh, critique, fight another day. we all love & will miss you so, so dearly.
the concept of policing a language you don’t even speak, including its native speakers, just because it doesn’t match your own culture’s linguistic rules … very colonizer naman 😭
