HMR Online Auction: YEAAAAAAP Online*

Image
I don't know what has possessed me to check out HMR again only this time, ONLINE. They have an app (browser works just as fine) that allows you to bid for items with the exception of meeting your competition and that last for a few days. I was only browsing until I saw lots that made me eventually bid. Funko Pops! Who knew they have these too! There are 7 items which I have all the intention to buy and resell that's why I was intent in getting it all even the crocodile one which I've no idea from where. At the end of the bid I was lucky to get 3: Groot, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Too bad 2 of the ones I liked slipped: Loki And Jack Sparrow! I was too busy in the office I haven't noticed the notification that someone just outbid me. It was the last 6 minutes. Sayang! I was able to get my winnings the day after (Sat). From what I understood, payments should be done within 5 days, picked up in 7 (with 25PHP up additional each day). It's either I get it this wee...

FOOD APPS: EATIGO

Image
It may not be a first world problem but it's a normal everyday ordeal for any office worker. Where to eat? What am I going to eat? WHO AM I GOING TO EAT WITH?* Downloaded this app as a recommend and had it tried to eat on one of their participating restaurants today: KKK (Megamall branch) Wednesday I was attempting to book for 5 people on the 12 am sched at 30% off by Friday. 1130 would have been a better choice because they offer 50% but our break is exactly 1130 and I doubt we could make it on time. I was trying for 12pm but the app refuses me to book any more than 2 people. That's when I ended up with booking for Thursday / 12pm / 30% / 4 people. When we arrived I asked if it's possible to add 1 person and were told that instead of the 30% it will be reduced to 20%. As to how the manager came up with that reduction I don't know but since this is my fault we went with it anyway. We have eaten here a few times before but somehow today the food came out real quick. I gu...

N.D.R.R.M.C.

Move over LGBTQ, there's also another long sounding acronym we Filipinos have to remember, NDRRMC. It's so long halfway towards the half of the acronym you suddenly enter a state of denial whether the next letters are still correct. It's as long as your BDO pin yet somehow this is harder to remember. It's mouthful. It stands for National Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Council. OMG there's an "and"! Honestly if i was in the council I would have gone with NDRRAMC and would have begun calling it "endramak". It is easier to pronounce no? But then would I have remembered what it stood for? Nope I wouldn't have. I have already forgot the earlier name it had but it has become something one less thing we haven't protested as a nation. We just accepted it, even the silliness of the men and women who had to endure saying it out loud on live TV. Never have they become so heroic. One of their projects is a nationwide text blast to (hopefull...
