How long do you keep boxes of your appliances???????

Hello! So ive had my aircon for about 2 weeks now. Hanggang kelan nyo kini-keep yung box? This is a huge purchase, unlike mga electricfan and small appliances na pwede ko na tapon boxes after 7 days accdg to sales rep.

Plus ayoko talaga nagtatago ng boxes, ayoko magka ipis sa bahay or kung ano anong peste. Although iniisip ko, would it affect in some ways if I plan to sell my aircon na walamg box?

TIA!!!

Vaccum and Dehumidifier Effectiveness? (50 characters)

Hi!

Recently been living alone here in Quezon City, and the place I'm staying at is a bit dusty and often humid-like ang amoy.

Every single day kahit kakalinis ko lng kahapon, napapansin ko yung black furnitures ko being covered by dust almost always on the next day. And often times, may feeling of itchiness sa body ko when I stay sa first floor, which led to me getting this leg problem na nag-nanana.

I live with a dog and two cats.

Could anyone give your thoughts if these items are of great value? Wala ako much experience with these kasi, I'd appreciate absolutely any thoughts or feedback about it at all.

Thank you!!

Rat issue in my apartment is driving me crazy & making me feel defeated.

Hi, I'm living alone in a small 2BR apartment in Makati. This place is a steal, and please don't ask me to find another place, kasi I can't yet. :((

When I got this place, what I didn't know, magkaka-issue ako with pests. I made sure na walang ipis na makakasama sa 'kin from my prev condo bedspace. But I found that there are ipis (malaki and maliit)--which I sort of resolved using gel paste and it's way less of a problem for me than rats.

I'm used to living alone and masipag ako mag-resolve ng mga house issues. Pero nagawa ko na lahat dito. Nasabi ko na rin sa landlord ko, pero tinakpan lang yung ibang mga butas--which I also did na rin and when I did, it kinda helped pero nakakakita pa rin ako ng mangilan-ngilan. Btw, they learned how to get out of sticky traps too. (I'm sorry pero wala na akong pakielam if this is bad for them. Grabe na yung pagod and stress sa quality of life I have because of them.)

Recently, I left my apartment for almost a week. Pagkabalik ko, nakakita ako ng mga butas sa cabinet. May nalalaglag na stones or smthng pag open ko kaya ko napansin. It seems they chewed the cabinets din. I feel defeated. Gusto ko ng magandang bahay pero 'di ko mapaganda kasi everyday makakakita ako ng rat droppings, and I always have to put everything in a lagayan (minsan nabubuksan pa nila). It's making me depressed kasi I really don't feel like I can control or fix this issue anymore. I'm coming home to rat droppings and rat pee too.

Tired, and lost. What should I do

Sino ang liable pag nawala laundry net during pickup?

Around 2 PM today, pinick up ni kuya yung laundry ko. Then nung dine-deliver na tonight, wala na yung laundry net ko na nakaibabaw sa laundry bag. Chineck nila yung CCTV, pero wala raw nakitang laundry net pagdating ng pickup sa shop.

So possible na nahulog siya on the way to the laundry shop, especially since naka e-bike si kuya and nasa likod lang yung mga laundry without any cover or harang sa gilid.

I asked about their policy for lost items, pero sabi nila since hindi nakita sa CCTV na may laundry net upon arrival, hindi raw sila liable. Now, tatlo na lang undies ko since mga underwear laman nun, hays. Charge to experience na lang talaga. Parang ngayon gusto na lang mag self service. Nakakatrauma.

Edit: binalikan daw ng nagpickup dun sa dinaanan niya pero wala daw nakita.

Need advice, should I postpone moving out or do it few months from now on after saving enough?

Gustong-gusto ko na makaalis rin talaga sa bahay na ito na kasama ang parents at mga tito na sobrang ingay, toxic, ang daming sinasabi lagi – basta, as much as I grow older, the environment here feels suffocating lalo na’t nag-away kami ng mama ko recently and now, we are dissociating towards each other na may kanya-kanya kaming niluluto at para akong nags-solo living na rin, pero para akong kinakain bg sariling konsensya na parang wag muna dapat. I am in my thesis era (na lang) at next year suppose graduation ko, and at the same time, working full time na wfh ako and enough naman yung kinikita ko pero hindi ko na talaga kaya magstay sa ganitong environment pero kinakain ako ng sarili kong guilt at konsensya.

Should I proceed and prep para maka-move out sko few months from now on or mag-antay pa ng mahaba? At some point rin ba, naranasan niyo yung gsnitong feeling na parang may naghohold back sayo? Aaminin kong natatakot ako pero I just want to have good environment for my mental being :(

Panasonic Inverter Econavi Refrigerator temp suggestions

First time to have a fridge and I'm overthinking this continuous meralco monthly rate increase.

I recently bought panasonic inverter nr-bp242vs model and according to the manual, it's energy efficient when the temp is set to 3 (Mid) and this is also the temp where the econavi activates.

But my question is, can I still save more money if i set it to 1 or 2? (lower temp) and if i set it to that temp, what would be the disavantages or drawbacks? And if there are drawbacks to it, what should be avoided or limited so that I can lessen it?

first time moving out and renting a condo. Help me make a choice.

i’m currently in the hunt for a condo unit to rent around ortigas since I have to move for work. i have narrowed my options down to two choices so i was hoping you guys could help me decide or give your advice:

condo 1:

- 15k per month (incl. assoc dues)

- bare studio unit but with aircon installed so would still need to buy addtl. furniture & appliances

- 27 sqm inner unit (mobile signal is weak)

- 5 mins walk to work

condo 2:

- 16k per month (incl. assoc dues)

- fully furnished already (aircon, ref, bed, microwave, induction cooker)

- 24 sqm studio but converted to be a 1BR

- 15-20 mins walk to work

which do you think would be the more logical choice here? or for you what would be the deciding factor when choosing a condo? feel free to ask clarifications or more information as well if needed.

First Time ko Magluto ng Beef Mechado sa Apartment

Hiiiii!

Ang simple-simpleng gawain, pero sobrang fulfilling! 🥺

I woke up 7AM, and went to the public market and grocery to purchase ingredients.

Gusto ko sana, 1kg of meat and 1kg of vegetables, pero naisip ko, maliit ang electric cooker ko, so I just settled for 1/2 kg of each.

A little bit past 8AM, nag start ako magluto. A little bit past 11AM, natapos ako dahil siniguro kong malambot ang karne para mas masarao, at nanunuot sa loob ang lasa! 😋

And as someone na naaksidente, with mouth injuries pa rin hanggang ngayon, kailangan malambot ang mga pagkain para madali lang nguyain! 😂

And now, I realized, I can do this everyday! I can cook my own food, I can eat whenever, whatever, and how much ever I want.

Lahat ng matitirang ulam, ilalagay na lang sa ref para reheat-reheat na lang everytime na kakain 😁

Magtatanghalian na. Halika, kain tayo! 😊

Kayo, anong kwentong first-time magluto nyo? ✨

Baka pwede kayong makapag bigay ng review ninyo. Thank you.

Help pls. Cleaning manual defrost refrigerator, first time ko

Solo living peeps, need help hehe pls be kind.

Sino nakaexperience maglinis ng manual defrost na fridge? First time ko kasi gawin.

Ang nabasa ko is para mapabilis tunaw, hot water sa loob, tapatan ng fan and preferably warm room temp (sakto summer naman). Kaso hindi ko alam if saan tulo ng tubig pag natunaw. Sa loob din ba ng freezer ang tunaw ng tubig from ice or sa parang base ng ref? And gaano katagal usually ang pagtunaw?

Pero gaano katagal whole process? May kasi ako nabasa sa google na 8hrs???
