#Bangu Shopping

[buffetlicious]

Bought mum to the Foodfare at Sembawang MRT Station for an early dinner cum grocery shopping. She went off in the direction of the economy rice stall and came back with this plate of Economy Rice (菜饭) of stir-fried pork slices and herbal chicken leg.

I on the other hand noticed a new stall selling Filipino cuisine. My eyes settled on the butterflied and Boneless Bangus with Rice (S$8). The fried bangus fish is a deboned milkfish (虱目鱼) with a miserable wedge of tomato as garnish. It comes with white rice and soup plus the seller asked me to help myself to the pinkish spiced vinegar (sinamak). While it tasted alright, the fish is dry and not moist enough.

But because I can, I'm gonna talk about my original universes and the little of story that they have

I have basically 3:

"Selestia"

Magical world, inspired by space. 3 kingdoms/planets (sun, moon and stars) LOTS of characters

I have the characters and a little idea of the world building but besides that.

"Gray & Gold"

Fantasy Universe™. Probably the easiest to make a webcomic or something but I'm not a writer so I don't really have a plot besides the characters backstories. Honestly the difficult part is writing the rivals to besties idea I have in my mind for de MCs

"ParaNormal"

Not the real name. I just don't have one.

It's the biggest because it's just Normal World + Monsters and stuff. Very urban fantasy and I just put most of my characters here so it's kinda bangue in plot and Worldbuilding

Example:

Ex-Monster Hunter Vampire Dad, his Vampire Daughter, his Assassin (or smth) Friend

Goth lil witch and her friend who's the town ghost, but Gothy doesn't know

Underground mafia monsters, they're a throuple

3 guys. Living in a 'abandoned' house, probably gonna become a poly couple. One of them is a monster probably. Very Slice of life

Girl who's entering witchcraft because her sibling just die and is now a ghost with memory loss. They live in the same 'abandoned' house as the last three.

Demon Girl and her witch Wife who now run a coffee shop after having a enemies to lovers/monster hunter X monster past

A demon obcessed with the human world , her cousin, her friend/love interest. Getting to know the world. Demon 1 also a fan of Demon Girl™ of the last point

And now things complicate because I just have ideas that would kinda mean that I have to separate the last 2 points from the rest of this universe + 2 new characters

A investigator who ends up summoning Demon 1 by accident in the middle of the investigation, and ends up with a crush on her?

Mafia demon lady in the real world, probably the cause for the investigation in the first place. Very much Big Mama form rottmnt vibes

Sigh. I wish I was a writer, or that things would just appear from my mind into the paper/computer screen. But oh well

[versaododiretor]

Ta, mas e a censura nas redes sociais?

Antes que esse texto atraia os neoliberofacho, até porque a impressão disso aqui não é de graça, preciso avisar que a liberdade de expressão não significa que você pode espalhar seu chorume fascista versão MTG na world wide web, ou algum outro rebranding para o século XXI.

Inclusive, se eu tivesse falado isso em câmera e publicado no Instagram ou no Tiktok meu vídeo seria nerfado* ou tirariam do ar por "ferir as diretrizes da comunidade". Por quê? Porque o simples fato de eu dizer a palavra "fascista" desqualifica o vídeo, mesmo que seja pra falar contra o fascismo, ou fascistas mais específicos. Agora, se eu for um boyzinho neoliberofacho de podcast eu posso postar meus cortes a vontade. Aliás, se esse for seu nicho, você pode fazer vídeo com armas e uma suástica atrás que vai dar bom, é só usar os dog whistle certos.

Inclusive fizeram essa pesquisa, e parece que bastam 400 vídeos pra uma conta nova de tiktok encontrar esse tipo de conteúdo. 

Tem tanta coisa nojenta lá, mas falo disso em outro papel. 

Eu compreendo perfeitamente que não se pode falar qualquer coisa na internet. Existem limites, existem leis, e a internet não é terra de ninguém. Pra quem não lembra, a TV e o rádio obedecem às leis também. Os apps não são uma praça pública, são mais um shopping particular com donos que querem botar dinheiro no bolso. E é justamente por isso que eu não posso falar "porra-caralho-cu-buceta" que em eu faço em call com minha amiga Tiaga quando eu tomo susto com meu gato tentando arrancar um pedaço da minha perna, digo, me chamando carinhosamente para brincar. E porra, eu entendo que são 5 palavrões de uma vez só, mas essa frase aqui iria de base também. 

Acontece que o que dá dinheiro pro app é quem coloca anúncio no ar. A grana vem de quem "aluga o espaço", como num outdoor, e paga pra ter o que a Barbie Ferrera não teve em Euphoria: tempo de tela. Não é muito a estética da Sallve colocar os produtos de esconder-que-o-excesso-de-trabalho-e-falta-de-dinheiro-e-acesso-a-direitos-básicos-está-te-matando-de-dentro-pra-fora no mesmo feed que alguém ta te falando dos perigos de postar fotos e vídeos das suas crianças porque alguém pode levar pra um site pornográfico. É absolutamente relevante e educativo, mas não é "good vibes". 

Pois muito que bem, onde a gente fala disso então? Vamos mediunicamente descobrir um www.siteespecifico.com pra se conscientizar de algo que não temos ideia que existe? É dessa liberdade de expressão, a que te conta que se o seu namorado gamer da uma porrada na mesa toda vez que se frustra no Valorant um dia a mesa vai ser você, que eu to falando. 

Existem, de fato, perfis que conseguem ganhar espaço falando disso, mas é a exceção que confirma a regra. É de um criador que compensa porque trás uma quantidade de pessoas descomunal que vai ficar suas muitas horas no app vendo outros vídeos mais palatáveis aos anunciantes. Eventualmente, pra atingir um determinado público a marca até vai chamar alguém que fala palavrão, tipo a maravilhosa Samantha Alves. Mas, com efeito, ninguém vai fazer publi no perfil que divulga o massacre na palestina. 

Não encontrei uma saída pra isso ainda. Parece que por enquanto a gente segue assistindo a grande mídia passar volta e meia desinformação tipo naquela reportagem que o Fantástico deu palco pra mona do TDI "de Taubaté", ou quando a Band entrevistou para divulgação de seu livro de charlatanismo coach quântico uma influencer que hoje tá na penitenciária de Bangu, ali no Rio, condenada a 8 anos de prisão por tráfico de pessoas e escravização. 

Ah, antes que você vá! Para a manutenção da minha reputação e caráter preciso explicitar "com efeito" é uma das expressões que eu mais detesto em toda a língua pt-br. Justamente por isso achei que combinava com a frase.

de resto

nerfado é quando o boneco do lol é atualizado pra uma versão com poderes mais fracos.

no mais, é só isso.

Top 6 Food Places in Vigan City to Check Out

Vigan City is a captivating attraction that gives visitors the feeling of traveling through time. Recognized for its strong maintenance of Spanish colonial architecture, it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Additionally, the city is known for its culinary offers. With this in mind, many would be asking where to eat in Vigan City for a great dining experience.

Here are the best restaurants in Vigan City that tourists should check out while exploring around the area.

Located in the heart of Vigan City, Calle Brewery is a local specialist in alcoholic drinks. This restaurant-brewery is a top recommendation for tourists to check out thanks to its strict brewing process, which ensures its drinks' authenticity and quality. It offers hand-crafted beers that never fail to give a strong kick upon drinking.

Of course, Calle Brewery does not only serve beers. They also have casual dining, specializing in serving smoked meat and fresh seafood dishes that reflect the chef’s admiration for cooking. Their meat dishes are almost considered on par with some of the steakhouse restaurants in Metro Manila. Calle Brewery is open from 11 AM to 11 PM daily.

Café Leona

One of the most famous restaurants in Vigan City, which serves both local and international cuisines called Café Leona. Located alongside the streets of Calle Crisologo, the restaurant is a popular choice for nighttime dining, where guests will fill the tables inside and outside the restaurant.

It is recognizable thanks to the surrounding cobblestone streets and Spanish-built structures, offering an old-time dining ambiance. Taking a closer look at their culinary options, Ilocano dishes are offered in Ilocano blended with Japanese and Italian flavors. The restaurant operates from 10 AM to 12 AM, giving tourists many opportunities to reserve a spot.

Similar to Pampanga’s specialty foods, Café Bigaa takes pride in offering authentic Ilocano cuisine within the city. It is located inside the 130-year-old Vigan Plaza Hotel and has a rustic and cozy appeal to match.

Moreover, it offers customers local favorites, such as Bagnet, Sinanglao, and Vigan Longganisa, the latter being their special.

Free Employment Documents for Graduates at Kalayaan

On Wednesday, various venues across the region, including SM City Baguio and Divine Word College, Bangued, Abra, will host the Kalayaan Jobs Fair. This event offers a one-stop-shop service where agencies like the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), Social Security System (SSS), Pag-IBIG Fund, and Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) will assist applicants in securing pre-employment documents.  

Available Services

- NBI Clearance: Essential for many job applications, this clearance can now be obtained for free. - PSA Birth Certificates: Another vital document for job applications, available at no cost. - SSS, Pag-IBIG, and PhilHealth: Assistance with these services ensures applicants are well-prepared for employment.  

How to Avail of the Free Services

To qualify for free pre-employment documents, applicants must present a certification from their respective villages (barangays) stating they are fresh graduates or first-time job seekers.   Steps to Get a Barangay Certification - Visit Your Barangay Hall: Request a "Barangay Certificate" or "Barangay Certification." - Provide Supporting Documents: These may include school records, proof of residence, and a valid ID. - Approval: Once your request is evaluated and approved, you will receive the Barangay Certificate. Bring this certificate to the Kalayaan Jobs Fair to avail of the free services provided under the First Time Job Seekers Assistance Act.   Why This Initiative Matters This initiative is crucial for new graduates entering the job market. By reducing the financial burden associated with obtaining necessary documents, the government is helping to streamline the process of entering the workforce. For instance, obtaining an NBI clearance and a PSA birth certificate can often be costly and time-consuming. With this new legislation, the process becomes more accessible and less stressful for young job seekers.  

Key Services at the Kalayaan Jobs Fair

Document/Service Agency Benefit NBI Clearance NBI Free and essential for job applications Birth Certificate PSA Free and required for employment Social Security Services SSS Assistance with registration Housing Fund Services Pag-IBIG Help with membership and benefits Health Insurance PhilHealth Registration and benefits assistance   Supporting Agencies and Their Roles Various agencies will be present at the jobs fair to provide additional support and services. The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) will also be on-site, offering alternative options for livelihood and entrepreneurship, as well as upskilling opportunities.   Final Thoughts This new initiative by DOLE and the implementation of the First Time Job Seekers Assistance Act is a significant step towards supporting the youth in the Philippines as they transition from education to employment. By providing free pre-employment documents, the government is making it easier for fresh graduates and first-time job seekers to embark on their careers without the added financial burden. New graduates and first-time job seekers should take full advantage of this opportunity by attending the Kalayaan Jobs Fair and securing the necessary documents to kickstart their careers. This initiative not only benefits individuals but also strengthens the overall workforce in the Philippines. We have published a much more detailed article about the 3,000 jobs at the Kalayaan Jobs Fair.   Sources: THX News, SCRIBD, Tambay Kirino & Philippine News Agency. Read the full article

Not much today except for the discount stores. From AA’s card shop to 99, Daiso, Five Below and Ross. Not to mention the seafood city and Valerios to feed the soul. Since there was no meat, we eat sinigang bangus. Ceviche to feed our appetites.

Tonight, I started to fill my bags. With us watching a car pursuit. Now that the weekend has started, It’s coming in close. As I try to fight the tired, Injustice hope to enjoy the next few days. Waterworks are going to begin soon.

Outubro

Fui transfeirdo no trabalho pra um setor que to me divertindo e aprendendo muito mais; gosto muito de lá e essa mudança foi absurdamente boa pra mim. Fui pra São Paulo de novo. Encontrei a mg e a outra trupe dela e meu dia teria sido bem chato e solitário sem vocês e desculpa por fazer cu doce. Dei vários rolês na liberdade, reencontrei minha irmãzinha Nay e finalmente tiramos a May do cativeiro e descobrimos que ela era de verdade!! Me diverti muito e espero podemos voltar pra pagar a cerveja que demos calote sem querer no Gorila.

O dia seguinte eu faço questão de deixar em outro paragráfo. Rolê GG3 finalmente aconteceu. Antes da pandemia, quando todo mundo ainda era novinho a gente ficava brincando de Fórmula 1 no Habblive e nesse dia a gente fez nosso primeiro encontrão; tudo bem que alguns de nós já tinhamos nos visto de forma separada, mas em massa assim foi a primeira vez. Comecei encontrando Manaxer oito da manhã na Santa Cruz e iniciamos OPERAÇÃO PETERO, que tinha acabado de chegar de Minas. Quando nós 3 nos reunimos no Tietê foi muito doido refletir que a gente se conhecia fazia mó tempão, mas pessoalmente só há alguns minutos. Fomos pro Expo Center e no caminho pra comprar o alimento não perecível do ingresso quase meti a gente numa cabana de sequestro. Depois a gente encontrou Dingal no shopping e fizemos ele passar vergonha gritando o nome dele. Altos papos e pá, no caminho a gente conseguiu falar com o Jon que nem sabia que tava geral junto e ele foi encontrar a gente; o cara foi tão brabo que tomou umas 20 multas só pra tirar uma foto com a gente e conversar pos uns cinco minutos. Manaxer se ausentou e fui com Petero e Din pra BGS, onde eu e Peter ficamos horas procurando Dingal que tava ficando de vela. No final a gente reencontrou Manaxer, Din meteu o pé, aí eu, Manaxer e Petero partimos pra uma festa de uma deputada do PSOL e de lá a gente foi pra Liberdade e vimos um assalto e a Belle Belinha em cinco minutos. A despedida de Petero foi as pressas porque a bexiga do Manaxer tava pra estourar, aí ficou eu e Manaxer num ponto de onibus na Vila Mariana esperando o pai dele, seu Valmir, enquanto Manaxer tava se cagando porque apareceu uns mlk da escola dele e a escola dele aparentemente é pior que as cadeias de bangu. Fim do rolê GG3 e começam os preparativos para o rolê X.

Delightful Weekend Brunch at Figaro Coffee

We were looking for a place to grab an early brunch as we had just finished some morning chores for the weekend. I wanted to have a big breakfast but my husband was also craving for some cakes and cold beverages. Thankfully, there’s a cafe that serves all of these with a branch that is just a few minutes away from our place, Figaro Coffee.

The mall had just opened but we were ready to enjoy a delightful weekend brunch at Figaro Coffee. With branches scattered all over the Philippines, it’s quite easy to find a cafe nearby. We headed up to the fifth level of Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong where Figaro Coffee had its cafe overlooking the central lobby.

Figaro Coffee Company is a premier full-service coffee chain whose menu also includes sandwiches, pastas, set meals, as well a selection of freshly-baked muffins, cakes and pastries. Founded in 1993, Figaro is considered as the country’s number one Filipino cafe which started even before the big international coffee chains arrived here.

Figaro has always been known for its freshly brewed coffee, but it’s really “a cafe above the rest” because it is so much more than just a coffee shop. I can enjoy a full savoury meal at Figaro complete with beverages, pastries, and desserts any time of the day.

My husband wanted his ice-cold frappes right away so he ordered the Choco Chips Java (P195-L). I wanted something a bit lighter on the calories so I chose one of their refreshing juices, the Green Earth Detox (P185-L) with its healthy combination of kale, spinach, red grapes.

There are always plenty of enticing pastries on display at Figaro to start your day. These include the Black Forest Ensaymada plus other cookies and breads.

My favorite at Figaro is their Heavenly Cheese Roll (P75). These light and fluffy cheeserolls are similar to a sweet ensaymada but with a softer texture. Figaro heats up these cheees rolls for those who want to have them for dine-in.

Figaro has several pasta and sandwich options, but you can get the best of both worlds with their Half Sandwich + Half Pasta (P275) combo meal. The pasta flavors include Arrabiata, Pasta a la Carlo, Garden Herb Pesto, and my choice which is the Chicken Mushroom Carbonara. This is a creamy and savory white sauce pasta with chicken chunks, shiitake mushrooms and parmesan cheese.

For your sandwich options, choose from Grilled Ham & Cheese, Chicken Waldorf, Gourmet Tuna, and the Grilled Chicken Pesto Focaccia Sandwich which has grilled chicken fillet with bell peppers, pesto spread, and grated cheese inside a multigrain bread. You can also add P60 for a small drink.

What we really love at Figaro are their delicious and savory All Day Meals. The Sukiyaki Beef Tapa (P260) comes with classic and traditionally marinated beef tapa served with garlic fried rice, fried egg, and side salad.

Another breakfast dish that is good to have the entire day is the Smoked Bangus Belly (P290) with its deboned premium cut smoked milkfish belly that is also served with garlic fried rice, fried egg, and side salad.

For my husband who wanted to have a big lunch, he ordered the Crispy Liempo with Laing (P300). This is Figaro’s signature crispy pinoy liempo and taro leaves cooked in a special coconut milk. It is served with side salad and garlic fried rice to complete the meal.

For dessert, we were thinking of trying Figaro’s newest tropical treat, the Pina Colada Cake, but there were many other tempting cakes on display. Figaro offers a Pasta and Drink Combo (P190) which includes any medium hot or iced drink and a pastry or a slice of cake (+P39). So we decided to get a slice of Grand Xocolat Gateau Cake (P125) plus a cup of Hot Chocolate (P150) to go.

It’s easy to enjoy your favorites at Figaro Coffee because these are also available for delivery. Order via GrabFood with their Unli Deals promo and get 25% off for orders with a minimum spend of ₱350 (maximum discount of ₱100). You can also order online using the GLife and Booky apps, or order directly from their branches. Check out their location and contact list on this link: bit.ly/FCBranchList.

Remember to bring your Loyalty Stamp Card whenever you visit Figaro. Get 1 stamp for ₱200 worth of single-receipt purchase in any of their participating branches for dine-in and take-out until August 31, 2023. Collect 4 stamps for a Free pastry, 8 stamps for a Free Angel’s Pizza Gift Voucher, 12 stamps for a Free 8 oz. Classic Hot Drink, and 17 stamps for a Free 16oz. Classic Iced Drink. Enjoy all these treats and more at Figaro Coffee Company!
