My Two Cents Salaulang Slurpee Machine sa 7/11 dahil sa mag lola

3 Upvotes

around 6:15-6:45pm sa 7/11 Orani (yung nasa may plaza) may mag lola na nakatayo da may slurpee machine, overhead ko na tuwang tuwa si lola sa karga nyang toddler (tatlo sila, lola, anak nyang babae at apo) na may kinakatikot yun pala ay yung nozzle ng slurpee machine hahawakan, sabay titikman and repeated it multiple times. Gusto ko iconfront kaso may mas importante lang akong lakarin, sasabihan ko na sana yung staff kaso swamped talaga sila kanina. now baka mag hanap ka ng resibo wala, kasi hindi ko dala ang phone ko at that time, sana may ibang nakakita din. kung hindi ay ireview nyo pa cctv. pupusta ko pati pato.

loved that product and establishment pero risky yung mga nasa open na products and to think papa inom ko pa sa bata yun, no wonder daming may mga sakit na bata ngayon (something abt flu like symptoms).

Random Question May marerecommend ba kayong nag-iinspect ng bahay for possible snakes sa Bataan?

3 Upvotes

Hi! Baka may alam or marerecommend kayo na professional or someone experienced na pwedeng mag-thorough inspection ng buong bahay for possible presence ng ahas.

Gusto lang sana namin ma-check lahat ng possible hiding spots, both inside and outside the house, para makasigurado na walang ahas na nagtatago. May nakita raw kasi yung kapitbahay namin na ahas sa halamanan namin, kaya gusto sana naming ipacheck yung buong property just to be safe.

Preferably someone na experienced talaga sa ganitong inspection and marunong din mag-safe removal if ever may makita.

Location: Orion.
Thank you!

Hi just wanted to make another quick post, I am continuing my search for friends or ventbuddies na Bataan based.

Just wanted someone to talk to or hangout with consistently kasi 3 problems filled up on me at the same time. Yes I do have my hobbies like video games and watching esports tournaments, movies and anime, lately they haven't been enough to make me feel better.

I feel like everything is so heavy and I am losing hope.

Preferably around 23-30 year olds sana para mas madali mapakisamahan.

Thank you po.

Chismis 650 foran acquaintance party?

5 Upvotes

Not being kuripot or anything, but, the last time we paid for such events by scsc, Hindi namin naramdaman na we paid such huge amount for that event. Not worth it.

For starters, ung foods palang, alam mo na na tinipid talaga, as in parang pinaka low budget and low priced meal set pa ata na inooffer ng lavista yung kinukuha nila, like seriously? And yes, LA VISTA, i know naman na it’s pricey, but considering how many we are, i thinks its too much naman ata if you tally the amount they get overall from our contributions. Sumasapaw yung kanin pero ulam parang crums lang sa gilid, with a lot of small cutts of vegetables for no reason.

And another thing na napansin ko, hindi sila marunong mag balance ng finances pag dating sa events, like halos lahat ng pera napupunta sa prices n magagarbo, yes it’s a wow factor sa nanalo, pero sana naman ma acknowledged din yung mga nag bayad dba? Sana man lang these people like me, mafeel na we paid the right amount, and hindi yung magdadalawang isip pa kami if we were robbed or what? That’s a huge amount of money if you totaled it overall, saan kale napunta yung iba? we don’t know, baka nabulsa na… TBH masyado na ata yung naheheard ko na may history kayo ng pangungurakot, the reimbursements???… oopss…

Waitttt holdupp, sorry pero lumalayo na ata tayo sa topic? going back to the event, they went overboard with the budget this year though. 650? For acquaintance, not being kuripot or anything, and i am aware na some schools have more expensive events but… due to my past experiences with their events and with their history of being kurakot with money, wala pa atang kalahati ng binayad ko na i would say that it’s worth it, parang lahing scam, laging may corruption that is happening at the back when it comes sa events nila. Hoping na this year worth it k? SCSC TOMAS DEL ROSARIO COLLEGE.

My Two Cents Penelco and the power interruptions

11 Upvotes

Hi. Please understand that this post is to inform, and not to invalidate feelings of frustration.

Disclaimers: I'm not from Penelco. I'm not from the government. I'm from Bataan, Electrical Engineer, Former Power System Planner working in Manila. Teacher din pala ng engineering and renewable energy consultant (hire me 😂).

All kuryente-related questions are welcome.

This post is driven by the 4-5 hours "emergency interruption" last night affecting the Limay-Balanga Line. We (Penelco may correct me) have three 69kV lines- Mariveles-Limay, Limay-Balanga, and Hermosa-Balanga lines. Not sure saan nakakabit ang Bagac and Morong 😅. This is why yan ang mga apektadong lugar kapag 69kV ang nagkakaroon ng fault.

As usual, galit ang mga tao. Inconvenient naman talaga lalo at oras ng tulog. But what I just want to share is that what happened is an "emergency interruption", unplanned, unexpected. It was a fault that may lead to fire and further equipment/appliances damage kung hindi pinutol at iniayos. Ang response would be #1 detection- saan naputol, saan nagkaproblema, hindi naman as in mano-mano hahanapin kasi may "detectors" (distance relays) naman to estimate the location. Usually hahanapin na lang aling poste associated yung line. #2 deployment of qualified personnel and tools. Maaaring masukal pa sa area so may additional challenges pa yan. #3 repair itself. Highly challenging dahil sa dilim and sa height.

Don't worry linemen are highly trained, pressured by management and by public outrage, and underpaid. So yes, worry pala.

Eh bakit panay "preventive maintenance"? Halos araw-araw. Well, no amount of preventive maintenance can prevent system faults. They happen. Walang iniba sa kahit anong gawin mo sa gulong, hindi maiiwasang mapako at mabutas. All you can do is be prepared and be quick enough for response and repairs. And to me, Penelco is. But it doesn't mean they're perfect.

Bakit hindi tukuyin ang main cause at solusyunan? Walang sweeping "main" cause sa electrical faults. Best they can do is fragment the system or loop it around. Ano yun?

  1. Fragmenting means dagdagan pa ang linya so that when something happens mas kaunting bayan ang apektado. But this has high costs. Like super high. Hindi enough ang binabayad natin sa distribution cost.

  2. Looping means having a "backup line" which means when one breaks, sasaluhin nung kabila. But again, high costs.

May pondo naman sila ah. Yes. But they're also upgrading equipment, lines, naglilipat din sila ng mga posteng tinamaan ng hayop na road widening na wala namang sinilbi. So ayun, doon napupunta ang "investment capex" ni Penelco.

Malaki pa rin binabayad natin. Actually one of the lowest if not the lowest tayo sa buong Pilipinas. You can look it up. And the main culprit is generation cost driven by fuel cost.

Maraming sangay-sangay pa ang topic na ito. I'll gladly answer questions kung meron.

Magalit pa rin kayo. Just be more informed para may direksyon ang galit.

Yun lang. Ktnxbye.
