The funny thing with Bakogou getting so many votes, is that he isnt even really the "Sasuke" from Naruto - who atleast got so much attention, some fans even got angry cause one wouldnt see Naruto for many chapters lol.

Hell Sasuke actually kept up with Naruto, while Bakogou, after his weird win in the rematch fight, never really caught up again, especially not after the 7 qurik thing - not even getting a real villian fight against AFO

And even the AF0 defeat seemed lto me like a way to say "oh shit, I have to make Bakogou Dekus rival, so lets him blow up an evil baby" lol Hell maybe thats why there was that random murder of Kurogiri - to make it look like Bakugo saved Deku and the battle in the end?

This is out of topic but I hate seeing people say that izuku and bakugo are sasuke and Naruto in a different font because they are not!!

First of all bakugo and izukus rivalry is one sided. Izuku's character once used to admire bakugo and while I do believe that bakugo was supposed to be a challenge for izuku, Izuku ended up outgrowing him but hori still had to make sure that bakugo was relevant so he gave him power ups and made him kill kurogiri and watch AFO die. Bakugo's character revolves around izuku and in a badly written way (it's not like Narutos character that very much circles sasuke and learns from his experiences) and it's bakugo who ends up being extremely aggressive towards izuku while that's not reciprocated. Izuku simply takes the hits and moves on (this is unlike sasuke who actually got his comeback on Naruto when Naruto tried to trap him in the early arcs)

Both Naruto and sasuke get development outside of eachother and are able to feel good and bad emotions about one another but Izuku can't feel bad emotions about bakugo. Both Naruto and sasuke are well developed (to a certain extent kishi drops the bar when it came to the last arc) and kishi takes time to properly develop and delve into their characters while giving the perspective of both characters equally unlike horikoshi who robs Izuku of intropsection and agency while bending bakugos character so far that he seems ooc in some moments like the 'apology' he gave.

Both Naruto and sasuke have their own feats and accomplishments outside of one another's help but I can't say the same for bakugo and izuku.

What happened with Schneider why there are accusations against him?

Hi 👋

There aren't accusation against him, but an article from the german news outlet Süddeutsche Zeitung from last year was written and worded in a way which evoked the impression that he was. The court ruled against the news outlet. Yesterday this article about it was published, with all the important information on it, and you find a translation (done with deepl and revised by me) under the cut (since I realized the google translate option isn't very accurate and downright false at some points).

The article is quite long, but covers everything important about the situation.

“Obviously unlawful suspicion reporting” Without conclusive evidence, the Süddeutsche Zeitung suspected a Rammstein band member of sexual assault, the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg ruled. It criticized errors that are also relevant in proceedings conducted by Till Lindemann. Rammstein musician Christoph Schneider has also successfully appealed in the second instance against an SZ article that suspected him of a sexual assault over 25 years ago. The Hanseatic Higher Regional Court (OLG) dismissed the SZ's appeal against a ruling by the Hamburg Regional Court (judgment of 09.07.2024, ref. 7 U 53/23). According to the OLG in the summary proceedings, the newspaper had disregarded the principles of reporting on suspicion. In mid-July 2023, the SZ had reported on a woman's overnight stay in a hotel with band members of Rammstein in 1996. The woman named in the article, Sybille Herder, said that she had struck up a conversation with the Rammstein keyboardist “Flake” (Christian Lorenz) after a concert in Gera and had later attended a party in the hotel swimming pool. Several women and the Rammstein members Christian Lorenz, Till Lindemann and Christoph Schneider later went to a hotel room. Then her memory stopped working - a movie break. The next thing she remembers is lying naked on the floor in the morning, with her abdomen feeling “as if it had been torn to shreds”, the woman says in the report. The SZ further quotes the woman as saying that she makes nonsense when she has been drinking, but that she remembers all the nonsense. Her conclusion, according to the article: “Something must have happened.” She had never had a blackout like that before. In addition to Till Lindemann, Rammstein drummer Christoph Schneider, represented by Lichte Rechtsanwälte (Sebastian Ott), also obtained a temporary injunction against the report before the Hamburg Regional Court. LTO reported. After an unsuccessful appeal, SZ appealed against the judgment of the Regional Court to the Higher Regional Court, but without success:

“Not Reinhard May's drummer” SZ argued in court that the requirements for reporting suspicions did not have to be met, as Christoph Schneider was not even suspected in the report. It was only about showing that Schneider was also at the party. “He is not Reinhard May's drummer (...). If there is such a party and he takes part in it, he has to accept identifying reporting,” argued SZ lawyer Dr. Martin Schippan (Lausen Rechtsanwälte) at the hearing on 9 July.

In addition, the SZ was in a quandary: If they had left open who the other Rammstein member on site was, members of the band who had nothing to do with it would have been linked to the incident. “Then we would have received six warnings,” said Schippan. SZ journalist Lena Kampf, who was present, agreed. “If Schneider wasn't named, suspicion would fall on everyone else,” she said, describing the dilemma from the SZ's perspective.

Citing the statement backfires But the Press Senate of the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg was not convinced. Above all, the SZ's statement by Christoph Schneider, which was published in the article, proved fatal. In it, Schneider denied the incident. The chairwoman of the senate, Simone Käfer, had already made it clear at the hearing that it was contradictory to publish a statement on accusations in the report and on the other hand to believe that the person was not even suspected in the report. SZ representative Schippan was irritated by this: “As a consequence, this means that Schneider's denial would have been better left out,” said Schippan. “Indeed. That was the bombshell,” was Käfer's response. She thus made it clear that any doubts on the part of the court as to whether the SZ suspected Schneider in the report were rendered superfluous by quoting his statement. “That's not what they learn in journalism school,” Schippan replied in astonishment.

Way out: clarify lack of suspicion So does the OLG decision contradict the journalistic duty to obtain and process statements? Hardly: The OLG was only concerned here with the preliminary question of whether the SZ had aroused any suspicion at all. In the eyes of the readers, it is evident that a person who is asked to comment on the accusation is also suspected. Why else would they be questioned? If a medium decides to spread a suspicion, a statement must of course also be obtained in the opinion of the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg. However, the media cannot use the excuse that there is no suspicion at all if a person is questioned about the allegation in the report at the same time. Senate Chairwoman Käfer then showed SZ a possible way out of the dilemma: clarify in the report itself that the suspicion is not directed against Christoph Schneider, while at the same time making it clear that the court is not there to provide formulation suggestions.

Schneider a “decidedly minor figure” The OLG thus comes to the conclusion that the SZ raised the suspicion through several passages that Schneider had been involved in a sexual assault. Such an arousal of suspicion is only permissible if the strict requirements for suspicion reporting are met. These include a minimum amount of evidence that justifies reporting on the suspicion despite a lack of certainty. In addition, the reporting must be balanced, exonerating evidence must be taken into account and the statement must be presented accurately. Furthermore, identifying suspicion reporting can only be considered if the public interest outweighs the right to privacy in the form of the presumption of innocence. In the opinion of the Higher Regional Court of Hamburg, the minimum amount of evidence was clearly lacking. In Sybille Herder's descriptions in her affidavit, Schneider was a “decidedly minor figure”. In fact, she “rather suspected Lindemann himself”, according to the OLG ruling. Therefore, not even her affidavit supported a suspicion against Schneider.

OLG: SZ does not correctly reflect research results In addition, according to the ruling, the SZ article does not take into account exonerating facts for Schneider. For example, the reporting deceives readers into believing that Herder himself had doubts about a sexual assault at the time. Herder is quoted as saying that “something must have happened” and that she “was convinced at the time that something had been done to her”. However, readers would not learn that Herder had any doubts about a sexual assault at the time. She describes in her affidavit that she could not imagine that “a band that did not need to force someone to have sex would resort to such means”. The SZ also omits the fact that Herder did not go to the police at the time. The court also criticized the fact that the SZ inaccurately reproduced the reaction of a criminal lawyer whom Herder consulted at the time. According to Herder's affidavit, he asked her for “documented evidence” at the time. However, the SZ omits this passage in the report and limits the reproduction of the lawyer's statement to the fact that Herder should rather wait until it becomes public “somewhere else”. By omitting the question of “documented evidence”, the article does not make it sufficiently clear that such “documented evidence” does not actually exist. Finally, the statement by Schneider's lawyers was also not reproduced with sufficient precision by the SZ. Schneider had made a clear and specific statement about Herder's case. He had specifically denied the accusation that he had committed sexual acts against her although she was not conscious. In the SZ article, Schneider's statement is reduced to the fact that he generally denies the accusation of sexual assault in relation to women (“on women”). According to the OLG, this could give the reader the impression that Schneider was giving evasive answers. Overall, the SZ did not accurately reflect the results of its research, according to the ruling. The chairwoman of the senate, Käfer, also found clear words in the oral hearing: it was a case of “obviously unlawful suspicious reporting”. According to information from LTO, SZ has now acknowledged the interim injunction on which the ruling is based in a final declaration, meaning that the proceedings have been legally concluded.

What applies to Till Lindemann? Schneider's success in court poses a fundamental problem for the media. The Higher Regional Court recognizes that, despite the long lapse of time, there is a “very considerable public interest” in the allegations made by Herder in Gera in 1996. It justifies this with the “practices of the singer”, i.e. with Till Lindemann. In this respect, it is of great public interest whether the band Rammstein and/or its environment may have previously used knock-out drops or similar in connection with sexual abuse. However, the Higher Regional Court itself has already recently prohibited the dissemination of the current suspicion that Lindemann may have used knock-out drops or drugs to make women sexually submissive, also due to a lack of minimum evidence. This raises the question of how and whether the media can report on Sybille Herder's accusations from 1996 in a permissible manner.

Lindemann's lawsuit against SZ over the same article could shed light on this. Here, too, SZ has appealed after Lindemann was successful before the Hamburg Regional Court. In this respect, it will be interesting to see whether the Higher Regional Court also rejects a minimum amount of evidence with regard to Lindemann, even though Herder was “more likely” to have suspected him, according to the court. But can that be enough? If, on the other hand, the OLG also rejects sufficient evidence for suspicion reporting with regard to Lindemann, the media would not be allowed to take up Sybille Herder's specific story at all. This would in any case be in conflict with the Higher Regional Court's finding that there was a “very considerable public interest” in the allegations from 1996. Either way, however, SZ's appeal in the Lindemann case is likely to have little chance of success. The fact that exculpatory elements were not included in the reporting and that the principles of reporting on suspicion were therefore not adhered to applies not only to Christoph Schneider, but also to Till Lindemann. According to the court's press office, a trial date for these proceedings has not yet been set.

long ramble about how i optimized my godot game for size (and how you can too!)

if i export the executable for dreamcatcher with the currently used scenes and the default export template, then the file size is 76.2mb. since it’s still early in development, i’m expecting this to get a lot bigger as i keep developing the game, and it will likely be at least 10x its current size.

i think a good amount of people reading this are familiar with the western game dev stereotype of having an executable that’s tens, if not hundreds of gigabytes in size. i’d like to avoid this as much as possible, since i want my game to be accessible to people who don’t have tons of storage to spare. also, i generally enjoy optimizing things to their limits, which is why i do tool assisted speedruns often (which will also be built in to dreamcatcher).

anyways, back to optimizing for size. a while back, i was doing some research on the topic and found this article on the godot docs: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/contributing/development/compiling/optimizing_for_size.html

if it weren’t for this article, i would not have been able to optimize the file. also, if you’re a godot dev, i highly recommend looking into this!

recently, i decided to try out optimizing, so the first step was to download the godot source code (which you can find on the github repo), and download scons to build the source. here’s the links for those:

godot source code: https://github.com/godotengine/godot

scons: https://scons.org/pages/download.html

the second step was to run scons from the source code directory. this can be done by going to the command line, navigating to the directory, and running this command:

scons platform=[windows/linuxbsd/macos/web] target=template_release tools=no debug_symbols=no lto=full optimize=size [other options]

this will create an export template and put it in a new directory named bin. it takes about half an hour to build for the first time, so make sure you have something else to do while you wait, since it also uses a lot of your cpu. other options are dependent on the game you’re making, but some include disabling 3d, disabling advanced text, and disabling specific modules.

also, using the optimize=size option makes the build prioritize size over performance, which is generally done for web builds. if you’re making something that needs as much performance as possible, consider omitting this option from the command. however, in my case, the game is capped at 60fps, and i’ve already been optimizing for performance when making the game (which i might get into in another post)

the third step was to set up the export template. you’ll have to move the build into your godot export templates folder, and rename it accordingly. this video does a good job of explaining it: https://youtu.be/zKq25lXlsUE?si=AOoMVHdI6cIVG7FP&t=407

the video also explains other concepts that are mentioned in this post, so feel free to look around in it as well.

the fourth step was to export the project with the new template. go to project > export in your godot project, and make a new preset for the custom template. set the custom template path to the template you installed, select the resources you want to export if not all of them, click export project, and you should be good to go!

now, how is this whole wall of text worth it? well, i was able to cut down my file size from 76.2mb all the way to 51.6mb, which is a huge margin. and that’s before the fifth step: zipping the file.

the best way to do this is to download 7zip, which produces more optimized zip files without affecting other areas of performance. you can find it here: https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

once you have this downloaded, you can archive your executable, and you’re finally done! if you’re using the command line to do this, here’s the command format:

7z a -mx9 archivename.zip path/to/executable

zipping the file cut down the size further from 51.6mb to 28.1mb. overall, that’s almost 3x smaller than the original file, which is a really big improvement.

size comparison across all three files

if you made it all the way to the end of this post, thank you so much for reading! i hope this helps :>

菲律宾汽车CR OR 丢失怎么办

在 LTO 中获取 OR/CR 副本/ 过户和变更的重要要求

在任何类型的车辆上都有一个 OR/CR 非常重要，如果您拥有车辆，您应该知道这些事情，尤其是如果您有摩托车或者轿车。

你知道吗，如果你不了解这条法律，你可能会面临严厉的惩罚或触犯法律。共和国法号11235 或关于机动车所有者的摩托车犯罪预防法。

OR CR 丢失后怎么申请副本？菲律宾汽车过户年检服务咨询微信BGC998 电报@BGC998

根据该法案 RA 11235 的第 4 节：

“摩托车/汽车 的任何销售或处置必须在交易完成后三天内向 LTO（陆路运输办公室）报告，出示原件并提供经公证的销售契约或类似文件的机器副本，以证明该单位已被出售或购买。不这样做意味着摩托车的所有者可能面临 P20,000 到 P50,000 的罚款。”

因此，如果您购买了二手或全新摩托 汽车，您应该遵循这些事项。无论您在这里没有获得此类文件的原因是什么，LTO 提供了一些关于获取 OR/CR 副本的指南。

1) 经公证的宣誓书

经公证的宣誓书，证明无法再找到或损坏原始文件。

2) 政府签发的身份证件

车辆登记车主的两个有效主要身份证件（政府签发）（带有原始签名样本的复印件）。

3) 完成 MVIR 表格

机动车辆的实际检验和正式完成的机动车辆检验报告（模板）

4) 公司认证

如果摩托车归公司所有，还需要公司的证明。

5) 授权书

业主代表为他从 LTO 取回所需文件，他必须准备一份附有签名的授权书。

如果新所有者前往首次发布 CR 文件的 LTO 分支，通常需要他们才能验证和打印新文档。但是，如果第一个文件是由偏远地区的 LTO 分支机构签发的，而新所有者在马尼拉大都会的 LTO 分支机构申请副本，则该过程将需要更长的时间。在 LTO 签发新的 CR 之前，需要对原始文件进行官方验证。

菲律宾有超过 1200 万台汽车或摩托的注册尚未更新，这确实是一个巨大的积压。因此，请尽早负责并整理文件，以避开您可能面临的任何不便。

菲律宾购买汽车为什么要过户 为什么要年检 怎么过户 怎么年检 下文均有涉及 麻烦耐心查看 找找自己需求 ：

车辆过户就是把车辆所属人的名称变更。购买二手车除了要看好车况，剩下最重要的环节就是办理过户手续了，而有些不懂车的朋友们为了节省费用忽略过户环节，运气好的车不出什么意外还好，要是运气不好，出点什么事故被警察叔叔抓到就麻烦了，罚款另算，关键车辆出事故保险不会赔，不管多大损失都得自己承担，正是贪小便宜吃大亏。或者出售出去的车辆别人没有过户更换信息发生违法行为还是会追究到车主身上（因为在政府里面的资料您还是车辆的所有者，是没有办法说卖了就能解决干系的）政府也是给与出售后15天的变更宽限，对于没有变更发生问题还是有注册信息车主承担风险。

经常在菲律宾���华人购买车如果没有及时变更车主信息 往往有吃亏的时候，比如购买他人的一辆车辆到时候没有变更车主信息办理过户，对方车主万一日后 有什么经济问题 政府冻结查封他的财产自然也包含在他名下的这个车辆了，后期想要过户变更往往要打官司花费更多金钱和时间，也有出现购买了二手车没有过户用了一年后 年检出问题的，去年检的时候系统显示车辆被挂失，办理年检的人都还被抓去警察局接受调查。也有案���车辆丢失后报案，但是由于自己不是车辆注册所有者即使找到车辆也不会归还给你。 出了事故 保险理赔也是指定把赔偿金额汇入 车主的名下银行账号的。

我们建议为您保证自己的合法权益 车辆购买购买后除了做个全面的养护 更是需要把法律文件做到保护你自己。

我们处理车辆过户 简单便捷 全程保证真实合法有效，车辆需要配合我们出席一次去采集 机架号 发动机号码 安全性能评估 和高速巡警 警察局 没有盗抢备案。

菲律宾汽车过户的方法（车可出出席可不出席）

1 车辆原车出席一次（也可以不出席 但是费用会增加） 2 原车主人不同 有效政府部门颁发的身份证件正反面 复印件2张 并且每张签名三次 3 新车主的不同 有效政府部门颁发的身份证件正反面 复印件2张 并且每张签名三次 4 购销合同原件 卖方 买方签名好并做好公正认证 4份 （各式可以向我们索取）然后打印好带过去给卖方签字 我们可以做律师公正 5 车辆 OR CR 原件 OR为最近一次年检的OR （一般是一年以内的就是新的）超出一年没有年检的 会有相应的罚款费用和年检费用大概一年10000比索 6 菲律宾警察局车辆信息合法信息 清单（这个我们提供） 7 保险公司保单（这个我们提供 仅做过户文件使用） 8 车辆尾气检测报告（这个我们提供 仅做过户文件使用） 9 买卖双方税务局登记信息 和税务证明（整个我们可以提供） 10 其他辅助材料（均有我们提供） 费用请咨询我们： 菲律宾汽车过户 年检 查询 服务 请咨询微信BGC998 小飞机@BGC998

汽车年检的相关信息：（自己DIY方法）新车过了三年以后，就要每年自己去办理车辆年检咯 ！ 首先，你要知道自己的车是要在什么时候进行年检。只要注意车的后面两个尾数就行。 最后一个尾数是要在哪一个月份进行年检如果是1 那就是一月份，2 就是二月份以此类推， 0 则是在十月份。 倒数第二个数字是在那个月份的哪一周前需完成年检1,2,3 需在第一周。4,5,6 第二周。7,8 第三周。9,0 第四周。 了解完什么时候要去年检，接下来就是要准备哪些了。 大致上只要3个文件。 1. 正式汽车登记证和车证的副本（俗称 OR，CR） 2. 保险 3. 尾气证明提交文件！

汽车登记证黄色的车证只给一次（所以千万别丢了），副本每次每年都会更新 一般车里放 复印件即可不要放原件 丢了麻烦。

这个可以根据个人自行调整，菲律宾法律只要求你投保 强制第三者责任险 （Compulsory Third Party Liability Insurance，俗称 CTPL）。可以根据自身需求投保天灾险（Acts of God/Acts of Nature），失窃险（Theft），自损险（Own Damage）。

当然保险种类越多，投保额度越高，保险费也会越多。如果只选择 强制第三者责任险。懒得话，可以直接在LTO 附近的办公室办理 （但会贵一些，大概落在2000披索 左右）或可以致电你们各自的保险公司。

尾气检测主要看你的车有没有排放黑烟，达不达标。基本上保养不错的话都不会出事。任何 LTO 附近都会有这样的 Emission Testing Center。收费价格也是完全没有统一 价格500–2000都有 每个市和检查所价格均不一样（价格可能因地区而有所差别）

握有这三个文件后，就可以到最近的 LTO District Office 办理咯 到了 LTO 外面会有一些穿着 LTO 制服的人。你可以把手中的文件交给他们。他们会对车辆进行简单的检查，然后对 Engine 和 Chassis Number 进行墨印

Still, have windblow...

Aunt Teresa will process her documents managed by Uncle DD ( license of Aunt Teresa) , they will go in QC... All of a sudden yesterday she invited me to renew my license but from the past months Uncle DD didn't assist me on this, they knew that I had no job... I said I will just process it some other time coz I don't wanna go with them coz it feels weird, it seems there are some secret that they are keeping... Anyways, let's just wait...

Again, I have awareness here,I'm still thinking of my own future angels... I can't be like this on the hanging bridge...

Uncle Jun cooked a breakfast,he gave a different positive glow... In fairness on this Uncle Jun... He got a hotdogs yesterday from baranggay, I guess... This am Uncle Jun cooked a hotdogs, fried eggs and some fried rice...

I have complex again and again...I want to have my own future... It is difficult for me to find a partner coz I have complex...

I need to get a life on my own, I hate other family that can possibly will step on me on this.

I need to get a job,angels...

7:25 am

Aunt Teresa is insisting for me to renew my license....Then, I will go with them this am... From the past weeks Uncle DD seems a barrier on me.

10:02 am

Uncle DD suddenly commented on me where will I go? Huh.! Go with them of course...He said why my top is so see through, I said it is hot and I have a jacket... Huh? Hmmm... Hmmm... I wonder if there is a malice.

10:24 am

Thanks Kuya Erning & Marah for the water container service...

Thanks for the friendship!

In spite of their operation is really exclusive for the family only but Kuya Erning let me in...

12:51 noon

Uncle DD got an another plan to make it 10 years the international license of Aunt Teresa??? But it sounds and feels weird... It seems he doesn't want me to be with my Aunt Teresa but I have maturity to make my own life...

I therefore conclude Uncle DD has a plan to make Aunt Teresa stay in Japan for straight 10 years and cut our relationship or my link on Aunt Teresa... In a way I'm just flowing...

But I'm processing as well my license and still, I feel self-pity... I need to have my own life and money... I'm so broke these days...

1:58 pm

Waiting for my license, ready to be a driver of a "luxury car"...

Latte is so good! LTO QC...

Passed it guys!

4:38 pm

Still,have windblow...

The news is shocking this afternoon... According to Uncle DD, Ate Liza is shouting coz of the creditz... I said Ate Liza will never do that... Uncle DD said Uncle Jun said that Ate Liza will report him in baranggay coz of our food credits...

4:49 pm

I pity my Uncle DD and most specially this Aunt Teresa for suggesting that we should use "Perla" soap as shampoo and bath soap if we don't have money... I said that is wrong! We have friends to ask for support or to borrow money... Aunt Teresa said I feel that I'm higher and I'm so wicked. I said I'm not wicked, I'm just correcting that we still have friends to back me up in times of defeat... I don't wanna use "Perla" as soap and shampoo just to thrift...

That is purpose of having "friends"! To back you up in times of defeat...

Aunt Teresa is asking help coz she is on thrift these days,she is having a hard time... I said I can work but the reality of life is really biting me these days... ( ginigipit ng panahon ) "reality bites".

I need to work these days angels and I still feel self-pity these days... I know everyone needs to work... I don't wanna be a supporter but I love to support money on my family if I can... I need to have money and job...

5:10 pm

Still,have windblow...

In fairness for reality knowledge, "Perla" soap can be used as a mixed for bleaching solution. It can whiten in a way the skin... It is made of coconut and coconut oil.

But I feel self-pity... I need a lift angels...

10:28 pm

Still,have windblow...

Aunt Karen & Uncle DD went out again...

I have runny nose, I don't know if it is stress or allergy...

I wish and pray to get a bf that I want... I don't know, I like the theme of having a relationship with someone like Ken coz I wanna be Barbie for some logical reasons...

Barbie & Ken???

He is Ken-like, Barbie's bf... Even my cousin-white...But I wanna slap his face for being handsome... Will he be faithful if I can get him to be my bf or partner???

Can he be supportive of me???

Like I want this Garret... I'm so hopeless on my cousin-white... Ash is with her BG...

It is ideally to be normal though Ash is really pretty as well....

I'm still having this self-pity and sent an important mail on Credit Peso, Tala and Moca2x....I have no guilty emotions... Still, not sure if uncle DD is genuiene or not... He is reacting on me that someone from loan apps where I borrowed called him. He said that don't put me on the contacts on your loans. I said I didn't put your name, I just put the name of my friends... I added ,how did they get your contacts, but I remember I put you on my reference on one of the companies.

I got my license and the expiration date is after 10 years. Hmm... I do have angels here.

10:40 pm

Going to LTO QC and going back here we tried using "google maps" it is so cool and weird... Accurate in a way, as long as you have a full wifi signal or data but there is a strange thing on it. There is an "autopilot" which is somehow, weird! It is like and I know there are some virtual police on "google maps".

Autopilot means just search your "final destination" and automatically google maps can find you on the map then will guide you going to your destination.

It is so cool... When you are driving a car planning to go somewhere like Tagaytay here, just put on the search box the destination you want to go on then automatically that "google maps" will find your present location then Mr. Google will guide you using Kilometers or Meters.... When you go to a wrong direction, like if you don't follow the correct route given by Mr Google. Let's say you must turn right but you turn left but then the destination is already saved on the search box. Then, the autopilot will help you again to find a new route going to Tagaytay ( for example your target location to go on ).Plus, there is an exact time on how will you reach your target location. There is as well somehow a bit of traffic guide, Mr. Google will suggest you as well the best route to go on to reach your target place.

Philippines should maintain all the landmarks even some new gasoline station,let's make them an emblem in the Philippines... But I know it can be easily edited by the computer and amazing gprs...

I suggested don't waste your time, use "Google Maps"....

Day 8: Long Days, Good Vibes (っ˘ havaianas ˘ς)

Yo, internet void, checking in for Day 8! Today was a whirlwind of errands, naps, and unexpected adventures with friends.

Started bright and early (well, 7 am for me anyway) with a trip to the LTO to get my car registered. Adulting fun, level: expert. Got everything sorted (hopefully!), but let's be honest, battling the LTO is enough to drain anyone's energy.

Speaking of drained, upon returning home, I promptly surrendered to the power of the nap gods. Woke up feeling a bit more human around 3 pm, only to find my friends from the other day waiting for me - the ones who thought I was mad (remember that whole ordeal?).

Turns out, they just wanted to hang out! We spent the next six hours holed up in my room, a glorious mess of random videos, deep conversations, and someone catching some much-needed sleep (not naming names, haha).

Later on, we decided to take a late-night cruise around the neighborhood, windows down, music blasting, just talking and enjoying each other's company. It was tiring, sure, but in a good way.

Mental Health Check: Honestly, despite the fun, I'm still carrying that same emotional weight from the past few days. It's a bit of a drain, but hey, good friends and good vibes can go a long way.

(P.S. Thanks again for being here, internet void. Having this space to vent and share is more helpful than you might know.)

Who are you most nervous about introducing potential significant others to?  I'd go with my parents, although I've never done this with them ever; and Angela, just because she's my biggest confidante and next to my parents she is always The First One to know everything going on in my life.

What was the most important non-academic thing you learned in high school?  That 'fake it until you make it' is legit advice, even though I found and still find it to an extent shady. It was helpful in finally fitting in in high school, and has saved me a million times at work where I need to be an extrovert 24/7. At its core I detest the idea of having to project a certain image of yourself for certain situations, but at the same it's just something I need to grind through lest I get left behind.

Have you ever had a job that deeply affected your personal life? How so and do you still work there?  Yeah. My work is my life. It's all I think about, and even though I have been better at setting boundaries I still am largely known by my peers now by what I do. On a personal level, I honestly still don't know what to make of that; it is just what it is.

Do you have a “one who got away”?  No.

If you were in a superhero movie, would you be the hero or the villain? I'd be one of the citizens scrambling to get away.

If you found a mouse in your house, would you be frightened?  100%.

Have you ever tried to perform magic tricks?  I can do some silly illusions with my hands/fingers. I haven't really tried anything beyond that.

Can you do more with a yo-yo than just “go up and down”? Nope.

What is one form of technology that you wouldn’t be able to live without?  Imagining life without the internet at this age just seems insane. It's grown to become part of nearly everything we do, so the idea of becoming disconnected from everything and everyone feels kind of freaky tbh.

Did you get an allowance, growing up? Why or why not?  I started getting allowances in high school – I was given P100 for recess and lunch, but given that I had finally just started making friends and didn't want to miss out on cool high school parties and soirees and shit, I used to skip meals and instead gather my allowances to be able to go out during weekends (because otherwise my parents didn't usually give me hanging-out money). Definitely an unhealthy and a very stupid way to go about it in retrospect, considering it led to me feeling lightheaded throughout high school.

In college my allowance increased to P2,000 a week so I could cover gas and food.

Would you rather go to a water park or an amusement park? Why?  Amusement park, even though I can't go on rides. At least there's lots of yummy and sinful food options haha. Water parks just feel so much more unsanitary to me.

What is one instrument you wouldn’t mind learning how to play?  Piano.

What’s the longest amount of time you’ve had to wait in line for something?  I was at the LTO for 7 hours because apparently it takes that look to print out a driver's fucking license in the Philippines. I also waited the same amount of time for Seventeen, but to be fair the only reason we arrived at 12 PM for a 7 PM concert is if we left any later than that, we were going to be stuck in traffic with the rest of the late concertgoers and risk missing a chunk of the show.

What is something that you would like to learn more about?  I would love to take a wrestling class, just for fun and just to get to experience it once. I put my pro wrestler dreams to rest as soon as I made them because I knew I was never going to be physically cut out for it; but it'd be cool to take even just one session to learn the most basic of basics – taking bumps, doing rolls, running the ropes.

What is something that one of your family member collects?  My mom collects anything related to chefs - mostly figurines - as my dad is one and she has always been very proud of that. My dad used to collect Top Gear magazines and had every single issue until they stopped publishing physical copies.

Have you ever moved to a new school before? If so, how did it feel?  I mean, yes, but only because there was no college in my first school – and even if they did it wouldn't have been my choice to enroll there for university anyway. I went to the same school from kinder to high school, then attended my dream university for college; so, really, only changed schools once and it was out of necessity.

Have you ever legitimately forgotten to do homework?  Yes.

Do you enjoy autumn leaves or spring flowers more? Why?  I can't relate.

Depending on where you live, why might a day of school get canceled? Typhoons, or extremely high temperatures which is what is happening now. Kids today are very fortunate for that, whereas my generation hadddddd to power through the summer weather (it was worse for my school since we were one of the few private schools that didn't have aircon).

If you could meet any fictional character from a book, who would it be? Alice Cullen. Or Carlisle hehe.

What are some common places that people tour when they come to your city?  There is a well-known art museum here. Apart from that, I guess just the gazillion cafés we have.

What’s one food that you did not enjoy as a child, but do as an adult?  Curry. Dreaded it every time I smelled my grandma making it, now it'd kill me to miss out on curry – any kind of curry hahaha. Indian cuisine in general has grown to be my favorite type.

Would you rather have a mermaid tail, a fairy’s wings or a unicorn’s horn? I'd take the wings cause it'd be cute to be able to fly!

What is an animal that you’d like to have as a pet but it’s not allowed?  No way.

What are some things that you do to make the world a better place?  I look people in the eye, smile, and say thanks if they hold the door open for me.

Has the last person you had sex with ever had sex with someone besides you?  I'm most definitely certain that she since has. It's been four years.

What’s your favorite store at your mall?  I just go to the local K-pop stores lol. I hardly shop, and if I'm at the mall it's like 99.9% to eat out.

Have you ever done a workout DVD?  No.

Who usually takes out the trash in your family?  My mom or sister. We'll sometimes alternate, me and my sister.

What song are you currently obsessed with?  Together by Seventeen is a BEAUTIFUL song. Absolutely obsessing over it these days.

When you go fishing, do you make someone else get the fish off the hook?  I've never gone fishing.

Do you take any prescription meds?  Nope.

What happens if you don’t take them? 

Who was the last person you dreamt about?  I hardly remember my dreams.

Do you prefer your tea sweetened or unsweetened?  Sweetened.

Do you have any children? If so, names and ages? I do not.

Have your parents ever witnessed you doing something inappropriate? What?  I don't think so, at least not to my recollection.

Did you get babysat a lot as a kid?  No. My cousins and I raised each other and that was all the babysitting we ever needed haha.

Are you doing anything fun tomorrow?  Tomorrow is technically Monday, so there's nothing that'll be happening other than me going back to work. Today's my birthday though so all the fun stuff will be happening today – we have a dinner reservation at my favorite buffet and I'm really excited for that!

What is something you’d like to receive as a housewarming gift?  Wine. Hahaha.

How old were you when you first experienced the effects of puberty?  I mean I was barely 10 when I got my first period, so let's go with that.

What is your least favorite holiday, and why?  Chinese New Year, for political reasons.

Are cemeteries peaceful to you, or do they freak you out?  Serene and peaceful. Not only are those places filled wih a million stories, memories, and experiences of real people; but it's heartwarming getting to see the little trinkets and gifts that people leave their deceased.

We went to visit my grandpa last Sunday and I was touched seeing a letter pinned to a woman's columbary cell – it was a letter obviously written by her granddaughter, and seeing the clumsy handwriting... all just felt very human to me, if that mkes sense. Being in cemeteries or similar places evokes a sense of calm for me.

Has anyone close to you ever gone to war?  Nope.

Have you ever experienced altitude sickness?  No. In what is a shock even to me, I manage boat and plane rides well. It's car rides I always seem to be terrible at.

Is there anything, any event, you wish you could remember more clearly?  My Paramore concert in 2013, only because I spent the damn concert watching through my camera. It was my first concert so I didn't know any better – but anyway, lessons were learned, I never did it again, and for all concerts that followed I only have a handful of photos/videos from them because I've since spent of the time living in the moment instead.

If you had to get advice from someone of the opposite sex, who would you go to?  Hans.

What was the last new food/drink that you tried?  I tried the barbecue chicken sandwich from Popeye's because apparently they're doing this flavors of the world thing where they have variants for UK (barbecue), Korea (gochujang), US (spicy chicken)...you get the drill. It was delicious but I thought the barbecue sauce was a tad bit overpowering. I'd get a less-saucier one next time.

Have you had a good day today or was yesterday better?  I mean it's my birthday today so it'd be hard to imagine this day going south haha. We'll see; it's only 1:30 in the morning.

Have you ever played Sudoku?  No I never understood how it works hahaha.

Do you ever take surveys for money?  I once tried to go for that, but for context: It was the peak of COVID, absolutely no one went out, I was a fresh grad, my parents (who are both in the hospitality industry) were just as jobless as I was, and money in the house was depleting at an alarming rate. I was desperate to help as much as I can, so much so that I had to consider that making-moneys-through-surveys thing. It never amounted to anything because I was never qualified for most of the surveys available anyway.

Thank FUCK we have since gotten out of that rut. I've blocked out most things from 2020 because of what we as a family went through.

Do you like Barbie or Bratz better?  Bratz was popular as fuck when I was a kid.

Do you prefer purple or green grapes?  Neither.

Who was the last person that made you laugh?  My sister.

Where does your best friend live?  In a nearby city.

Who did you last confide in?  Trina.

Does your car have an alarm?  Like...an alarm clock? No? Lol. It does go off if hit too hard while locked, though, if that's the kind of alarm you mean.

Where was your mom born?  Just...somewhere in the metro, I'm not about to give that kind of stuff away.

What can always make you feel better no matter what?  MY DOGS

What is something you’ll never eat again? Why?  Apart from fruits, I was never the type to shun any kind of food.

What is currently happening that is scaring you?  Just...time. The natural course of aging. Not because it's my birthday, but the passage of time is just something I think about more and more now. My high school peers getting married and having kids, my parents getting older, my grandparents getting older...it is what it is and it's constantly in my head.

Why Pizza Hut Fell Behind In The Pizza Wars

"Before the pandemic, Pizza Hut was already falling behind its competitors. Pizza Hut was the largest pizza chain by global sales until Domino’s moved into No. 1 in 2017. Three years later, Pizza Hut’s largest U.S. franchisee filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Analysts say Pizza Hut needs to resolve three problems if it hopes to regain ground: reconciling its large restaurant footprint; upgrading its online ordering and delivery technology, which has been lackluster in comparison to its peers; offering a more popular menu.

CORRECTION (November 24, 2020): A previous version of this description incorrectly stated that Pizza Hut, not the chain’s largest U.S. franchisee, filed for bankruptcy. It also misidentified the reasons for Pizza Hut’s downward trajectory."

Pizza Hut employs various marketing strategies to attract and retain customers. Here’s a detailed overview of some of their marketing strategies:

1. Product Innovation

Product innovation is a significant aspect of Pizza Hut’s marketing strategy. The company continuously introduces new and unique products to attract customers and stay ahead of its competitors. For instance, in recent years, Pizza Hut has launched several limited-time offerings (LTOs) that have been well received by customers. One such example is the “Pizza Hut Melts,” a line of sandwich-pizzas that combine the taste of a pizza with the convenience of a sandwich. The Melts were introduced in response to changing consumer preferences, with many people seeking easier, more portable meals. This innovative product offering helped Pizza Hut tap into a new segment of customers who are looking for something different from the traditional pizza.

Pizza Hut MeltsBrand unveils new dish designed to provide more individual meal-time options for pizza lovers Another notable example of Pizza Hut’s product innovation is the “Pizza Hut Pie Tops,” a line of shoes that double as pizza ovens. Yes, you read that right! These high-tech sneakers allow customers to cook their pizzas while they wait for delivery. The Pie Tops were created in collaboration with a popular shoe designer, and they come equipped with a built-in oven and a Bluetooth connection that allows users to control the cooking temperature using their smartphones. While not intended for mass production, the Pie Tops generated immense buzz around the brand and further reinforced Pizza Hut’s commitment to innovation. By consistently introducing novel products and experiences, Pizza Hut creates excitement around its brand, builds brand loyalty, and differentiates itself from other players in the pizza industry.2. Pricing StrategyThe company uses various pricing tactics to appeal to its target audience and increase sales. 

One of the ways Pizza Hut sets its prices is by offering discounts and promotions. For instance, the company frequently runs buy-one-get-one-free deals, discounts on certain menu items, and special offers during holidays and events like Super Bowl Sunday. Additionally, Pizza Hut often bundles its menu items together to create value meals that provide customers with complete meals at a lower cost than if they were to purchase each item separately. This strategy helps to attract price-conscious consumers and encourage them to make larger purchases.In addition to discounts and promotions, Pizza Hut also employs dynamic pricing, which involves adjusting prices based on demand. 

The company uses data analytics to monitor sales patterns and adjust its prices accordingly. For example, during peak hours or days, Pizza Hut may raise its prices slightly to maximize profits, knowing that customers are more willing to pay a premium for convenience and speed. Conversely, during slower periods, the company may lower its prices to stimulate demand. This approach allows Pizza Hut to optimize its revenue streams and better manage its resources. By implementing these pricing strategies, Pizza Hut can effectively compete in the highly competitive pizza market while ensuring profitability.

3. Digital MarketingThe company leverages various digital channels to connect with its target audience, build brand awareness, and drive sales. Pizza Hut uses social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to engage with customers, share updates, and promote its products. The company also invests in search engine optimization (SEO) to ensure that its website appears at the top of search results for relevant keywords, making it easily accessible to potential customers. In addition, Pizza Hut utilizes email marketing campaigns to keep subscribers informed about new menu items, special deals, and upcoming events.One of the latest examples of Pizza Hut’s digital marketing efforts is its partnership with influencers and content creators on social media. The company collaborates with popular personalities on platforms like TikTok and YouTube to showcase its products in an authentic and engaging way.  Another example is Pizza Hut’s use of augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance its digital marketing efforts. The company developed an AR filter for Snapchat that allowed customers to virtually try on pizza-themed sunglasses, creating a fun and interactive experience that encouraged user-generated content and sharing. By embracing digital marketing strategies, Pizza Hut stays relevant, increases brand recognition, and drives sales in the competitive pizza industry.

4. Loyalty ProgramsLoyalty programs are a crucial aspect of Pizza Hut’s marketing strategy, aimed at retaining existing customers and encouraging repeat business. The company’s loyalty program, called “Hut Rewards,” offers customers points for every dollar spent, which can be redeemed for free food and drinks. Members also receive exclusive discounts, birthday rewards, and early access to new menu items. To make the program more appealing, Pizza Hut has introduced tiered membership levels, with higher tiers offering additional benefits such as free desserts, bonus points, and priority service.Pizza Hut has been continuously innovating its loyalty program to stay ahead of the competition. Additionally, Pizza Hut has partnered with popular ride-sharing services like Uber Eats and Grubhub to offer loyalty points for delivery orders placed through those platforms. By integrating its loyalty program with third-party delivery services, Pizza Hut can reach a wider audience and increase customer retention. These initiatives have helped Pizza Hut strengthen its position in the competitive pizza market and maintain a strong customer base.

5. Collaborations and SponsorshipsCollaborations and sponsorships are a significant component of Pizza Hut’s marketing strategy, enabling the brand to expand its reach and connect with new audiences. One notable collaboration was Pizza Hut’s partnership with the National Football League (NFL), making it the official pizza sponsor of the league. This partnership gave Pizza Hut exposure during NFL games and allowed it to leverage the popularity of football to promote its brand. Pizza Hut also collaborated with popular streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, offering special deals and discounts to their shared customers.

For example, the brand teamed up with the popular video game Fortnite, offering players the chance to win free pizzas and other rewards. Pizza Hut also partnered with the music streaming platform Spotify, creating a playlist that pairs songs with specific pizza toppings. By aligning itself with popular culture and entertainment brands, Pizza Hut can appeal to a younger demographic and generate buzz around its brand. Through these collaborations and sponsorships, Pizza Hut can differentiate itself from competitors, build brand awareness, and drive sales.

6. Local MarketingPizza Hut employs various tactics to target local audiences, including geo-targeted advertising, local events sponsorship, and community involvement. For instance, the brand participates in local festivals and charity events, helping to raise funds and awareness for local causes. This not only enhances Pizza Hut’s reputation but also helps to create a loyal customer base.Recently, Pizza Hut has taken its local marketing efforts to the next level by leveraging technology to better understand local preferences and behaviors. The brand uses data analytics to identify popular toppings and flavors in different regions, allowing it to create customized menus that cater to local tastes. Moreover, Pizza Hut utilizes social media listening tools to track local conversations and respond promptly to customer feedback and concerns. By embracing local marketing strategies, Pizza Hut can effectively engage with diverse customer segments, increase brand relevance, and ultimately drive sales across various markets.

7. Health-Conscious OptionsPizza Hut has been adapting to the growing demand for healthier food options by incorporating health-conscious choices into their menu. This marketing strategy aims to attract health-oriented consumers who typically avoid fast food due to its perceived unhealthiness. Pizza Hut has introduced vegetarian and vegan pizzas, salads, and sides, all made with fresh and nutritious ingredients. They have also removed artificial flavors and colors from their menu items. In addition, they have created a “Fit Favorites” section on their menu, featuring dishes under 600 calories.Some of the latest examples of Pizza Hut’s health-conscious options include their “Skinny Pizza” line, which features a crust made with whole wheat flour and topped with healthier ingredients like mushrooms, bell peppers, and olives. They have also added plant-based meat alternatives, such as Beyond Meat sausage and pepperoni, to their menu. Furthermore, Pizza Hut has partnered with fitness influencers and wellness experts to showcase how their healthy options can fit into an active lifestyle. By catering to the health-conscious crowd, Pizza Hut can expand its customer base and appeal to individuals who prioritize their wellbeing without sacrificing taste.Pizza Hut’s Skinny Pizza Line feature Thin Crust PizzasPizza Hut’s marketing strategies are designed to remain competitive in the highly competitive fast-food industry and adapt to changing consumer preferences.
