lola: ba’t ang dami mong bag??
me, trying to explain each bag’s purpose: 👁️👄👁️
I can explain. I have a work bag, an overnight/gym bag, a hiking bag, a dry bag, a bag for small groceries, bag for big groceries, small tote bag for fast errands, bigger tote bag for longer errands, an alternative work bag, an alternative hiking bag, tote bag for going around the house, etc.
I feel so judged 😔 ginagamit ko naman sila lahat, naka-rotation pa depending kung nasa laundry pa. Plano ko pa nga bumili ng mesh bag for the dry groceries kasi ayaw ko na ng plastic, puno na yung paper/plastic collection bag ko. Add food grade silicone bags and air-tight, reusable, compressible ziplock bags and bawas talaga ang plastic consumption ko. Plastic from deliveries na lang yung problema ko, idk what to do with that tbh.
Basta sumasakit ulo ko sa plastic bag. I can hear a dying scream of some creature suffocating out there in the back of my mind every time a fresh one is used when I could’ve used a reusable one. I’m not being annoying and preachy about it, it’s just a personal thing that just developed dahil sa nakikita kong waste generated sa work. And now I am sad.
ginagamit ko naman sila lahat
As someone who tries to make do with whatever bag I have (currently have three: a camping bag for multi-day outings, a backpack for single-day outings, and a sling/messenger bag for quick outings), so long as each bag has its use and is being used and taken care of properly, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
I’d probably argue for a small set of bags that fits most, if not all, possible usecases, but that’s really a matter of taste.
You’d probably have an aneurysm on how I use plastic bags though. I try to maximize their reuse, however. But when I pack for multi-day outings, I tend to use one plastic bag per piece of clothing (a habit I picked up from mountain-climbing geeks), and then group those bags according to function (that is, one plastic bag for tops, another one for bottoms, yet another one for underwear, and still another one for dirty clothes–individually packed). When I get home, I turn those plastic bags inside-out, and then dry them, and when dry fold them neatly for next time.
Mejo matrabaho at mabusisi, but that’s how I try to keep plastic use at a minimum.
I did not have an aneurysm, that’s pretty good! Acknowledged naman that in this country plastic use can’t be helped, not like it’s been banned by the government. Maganda na nga yung pag-reuse mo eh.
May organization pa din pala for function of clothing :o that’s pretty cool, pick up ko rin ah thanks 😎 maybe I should find a mountain climbing geek too hahahaha
Yeah, and basically, the main purpose behind using plastic in that scenario is to keep the clothes from getting wet when fording across a river, or when trekking during rains, or any mishap, really. Combined with the so-called ranger roll, I end up being able to put more clothes into my bag without worrying about dirty clothes messing up my clean clothes. A bonus side-effect is that my bag don’t smell like dirty clothes after a prolonged outing.
So, bale the entire thing is as follows:
- I take the item of clothing from the cabinet.
- Since it’s already folded (except for the underwear, which are already ranger-rolled for storage), I unfold it a bit, just so that I have the entire length of clothing ready for rolling.
- I take the the topmost part of the item of clothing (collar for tops, waist for pants and shorts) and start rolling there.
- I make sure to make the roll as tight as I can to avoid any unnecessary creases
- Once rolled tight, I take the item of clothing inside the plastic bag and roll it shut making sure there’s no air inside. Underwear skip to this step.
And that’s it! I bundle up the rolls and put them in their separate plastic bags (one for tops, one for bottoms, another one for underwear) and put them inside the camping bag. I usually make sure to push all the air out as well.
When putting back dirty clothes, I roll them as described above, and then take a plastic bag (the from the ones the clean clothes came out of), put it in there, and then place it in the designated “dirty clothes” plastic bag.
I also try to pack the “more durable clothing” at the bottom, then any fragile stuff in the middle, surrounded by other less durable clothing (to absorb any impacts from the outside). Of course, I try to make sure that the most used items are on top, since it’d be a hassle fishing for stuff in a very tightly-packed camping bag. Also, I bring a spare eco-bag for when the dirty/wet stuff fails to pack properly. Learnt that lesson the hard way during an outing that involved swimming. Lol!
Ayun, I know this is unsolicited advice, but I thought I’d just share to give more background behind my previous reply.
I don’t think that was unsolicited at all 😁 I like your system of packing, I’m really glad you elaborated more hahaha. Now I wanna know other stuff too but that would be too long, I think 😆
What kind of food do you bring? Do you bring other kinds of equipment too, like ropes or something? Do you separate your dirty clothes from dirty wet clothes plastics? Once you’ve settled in your camp, do you dry the wet clothes eventually and put them in the dirty dry clothes bag? They do get pretty smelly if you leave them too long
How about towels, aren’t they pretty bulky? Recently I bought a quick drying towel that should cut down the space (+time to dry) they take up in my bag but I haven’t tried it out yet 🤔
Ayun, mga sample questions lang, you don’t have to answer hahahaha. It was a good explanation already 🙏 thanks!!!
I’ve only hiked twice, and both are due to them being course requirements for my PE subject back in college. It’s also where I picked those things up (thanks to the mountain climbing geeks who volunteered to guide us newbies).
Food, as I remember it correctly, would be things like adobo, or paksiw—food items that don’t spoil easily. Pwede rin ang delata, but the emphasis really is on food that is both compact and non-perishable. I remember one of those volunteers talking about a three-day climb, and being sick and tired of adobo afterwards. And oh, wag magdala ng kanin. Magdala ng bigas—para lutuin sa camp. Alam ko may nagluto rin ng hotdog sa campfire, but at that time, I was dragged into the woods by someone who thought I was also a stoner, lol! (I don’t, but I don’t mind people who do.)
Other kinds of equipment would really depend on the climb being done. Yung sa akin, there wasn’t any special requirement other than a sleeping bag, a camping bag, and suitable footwear. Also, since we’re going through some bushes (dun sa Banahaw trip namin), it was also emphasized that we dress accordingly. Mejo technical climbs na yung kailangan ng ropes, and I don’t think anyone would seriously push a newbie into that. Not only does that expose you to unnecessary danger, it also puts even the most experienced members of the team in jeopardy (the newbs will drag the more experienced ones down, sometimes literally, lol). I think the Daguldol climb was our most “serious” climb, and that’s barely a couple of hours trek to the summit. Yung sa Banahaw, we weren’t allowed to go up the mountain proper, but only trek around the campsite area (IIRC, in a valley between Mt. San Cristobal and Banahaw near a Rizalista settlement). Kasama namin yung isang Rizal class naman, lol~ Same campsite, different itinerary.
Towels, hmm, you know, I think it’s optional. For someone seriously into that “avoid any unnecessary bulk” mentality, it’s unnecessary bulk. So I imagine that kind of person would just “air dry” their body. But yeah, it’s possible to compress towels anyways, it just takes effort. Also, there are those vacuum seal plastics that can seriously compress towels inside a plastic bag. Ofc, once nagamit na, lol, that shit goes into the spare ecobag, I suppose. I say take what you think you need, but not much more, because you’d have to drag all that shit with you up and down the mountain (or the commute, which is frankly the same ordeal to me).
Oh, electronic equipment! Powerbanks are a godsend. And keeping gadgets inside plastic bags when not in use is something that should be kept in mind. Alam ko may mga sealable, waterproof bags for electronic gadgets na binebenta.
But yeah, a lot of these things can be picked up naman as you go on hikes and whatnot.
You had hiking trips for PE classes in college? What the heck, ba’t kami walang ganyan. That’s really disappointing lol.
I go on hikes too pero usually mga day hike lang and yung camp somewhat modernized na kaya kung wala kang food may tindahan dyan na malapit so cooking isn’t that necessary.
I have always wondered paano kaya kung pang multiple day climb, yan yung di ko pa na-experience. Sa towel naman nagdadala ako ng towel tapos pag hindi basa I also treat it as a blanket hahaha malamig eh.
Stoners in the woods? I have definitely never encountered that before. Or baka di lang ako aware lol. It sounds not very safe 🤔
Lol! I was lucky to be able to study in a university large enough to have the resources to offer such classes.
Nung sa PE namin, we leave early morning Friday, and head back to Manila around Sunday afternoon. Saturday is when we do the actual climb. We didn’t spend overnight in the summit, though some of the volunteers told me that it’s quite an experience daw. They say the reason why we didn’t do that for the class is a lot of us are beginners, and don’t have the stamina to lug all of our belongings and equipment up and down the mountain. The volunteer looked at me as we both laughed. I was woefully out of shape back then, and it’s only through their help and sheer willpower that I made it to the summit, and back to camp.
Ang nabanggit sa akin about multi-day climbs, may susundan na itinerary since habol nila na makaabot sa campground or summit before sundown. I am kinda sad that I am too out-of-shape for such, since di ko pa rin sya nararanasan.
Yung stoner na sinabi ko in my previous reply was a classmate, tapos syempre dapat patago, kasi obviously, bawal. He even offered me some, but eh, not really my thing.
Used to have a ton of bags back when I was working in the office. Backpack with rain cover if there’s a typhoon/heavy rain, crossbody messenger bag for my daily use, another backpack that has tethered zippers in case I’m bringing something that needs to be super secured, tiny sling bag enough for just my wallet and phone during Fridays because there’s free lunch, and backpack during gym days (when I was still a regular). Also have some rare bags for specialized trips like hiking (the massive Deuter one lol) and a travel backpack when going overnight/2-3 day outings.
Now I only have two bags: a small crossbody and a slightly larger sling for carrying the Steam Deck when on a doctor’s appointment.
Kinagat ako ng aso ko 💔 First time in 5 years na nangagat siya. Bad dog na talaga ang baby ko.
Patingin ng bad dog
Might need to have your dog get checked by the vet, or have dog handling training if the vet doesn’t find any issues. Dogs don’t just resort to biting for no reason.
Pinagalitan ko kasi umihi sa loob ng bahay tapos nagalit nung pinapalabas ko. Ayaw niyang lumabas kasi takot sa tunog ng ulan.
May naglalaro ba dito ng Ragnarok M? Ako nga pala si Maldita. Jk. Naaadik na ko sa game na 'to. Try nyo din kung di nyo pa nalaro.
I logged in my account today and it’s still there. Graphics and UI is better here vs ROO
deleted by creator
curious lang kung andun pa kaya dinownload ko lol. wala ng tao halos kanina sa Eternal Love server haha.
playing it more than 3 months, heavily gachafied game. Everything is gacha. Ano server mo?
Also Ragnarok Origin Global right?
Ragnarok M Eternal Love 2.0 nilalaro ko. This year lang ako nag-start. Yung main ko Assassin kaka-level 150 lang, Blade Soul na. Gumawa ako ng bago kahapon, Rogue naman level 60 pa lang. Ikaw?
I dont play that 2.0, I played the first Eternal Love though. Right now RO Origin Global ako. Recently lang nalunch and yung mga pinakamataas na server level is 90 or 95. kakalaunch lang nito ~3months ago.
I always play FS priest. currently level 90.
Nice nice. For you ba mas okay yan? Try ko i-download. Hahaha. Dami kong free time.
cant tell, its been almost 5 years since ive played ROM nakalimutan ko na. It’s the same feel with improvements, but also more gacha.

Best work week ever. Cancelled 3 days straight.
Sana all cancelled
Cancel culture lulz.
Maybe I should go to Anytime Fitness and hope that the roof collapses near a female stranger, lmao.

Siguro kahit hindi na sa gym. With the climate getting worse, dadami pa ang lugar na magkakaganyan. It wouldn’t be as funny lang. 😔
Yeah, I am definitely not calling twitter its new name rebranding. It makes me want to get rid of my account but that’s also 10+ years worth of kung ano-ano sinasabi ko. Hay socmed. I keep you around just to be updated sa mga balita.
Mukhang cancelled yung mga outdoor activities this weekend dahil sa bagyo. Sana maganda ang weather on its rescheduled days. The temptation to get a 24/7 gym membership is there kaso overall ako ay ✨namamahalan✨ and yes kailangan 24/7 at pa-iba iba ang schedule ko.
It’s just not sustainable with my current salary. My outdoor activities + pool use + gym + other extracurricular activities would just drain me lol. Sana pinanganak na lang ako na may kamag-anak w/ country club access, I think I’d make use of their facilities very well lol.
Ang dami kong ganap. Rainy season pero yung playlist ko pang cruel summer 😆 umuwi ako ng madaling araw, basang-basa sa ulan pero ang tugtugin ay summer bops. It was ironic. Ganyan lang ako matuwa.
Wala na talaga atrasan yung X brand. Kahit sa phone ko, the icon and name for Twitter automatically changed to X.
Not like I’m still using it, that is.
Time to start migrating to Mastodon maybe?

I’m currently sitting on an upgrade for MIUI14. Parang ayaw ko pang mag-upgrade.
Upgrading means I’d probably have to not just redo all the customization I’ve done on my phone, but also redo the entire debloating process. Nakakatamad.
For those curious, here’s my phone model: Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G
MIUI EU to the rescue. Less bloat.
You just need to backup ypur phone data first, unlock bootloader, and install the ROM either from PC or phone. I prefer installing/updating my device through PC. Salpak lang ang device na naka-bootloader, run the script from zipped ROM file, and done.
My device is Redmi Note 11.

Hey! I remember you! You gave me a similar advice before.
Thanks for the reminder to look into that. This is probably the best time to get to that (after I’m done with my weekend stuff).
I’m your long lost friend, it’s
PancitCantotlolOh yeah!! That mention of MIUI EU brought me back when you were having a similar problem, if I am remembering things right.
Does Xiaomi have a similar feature in Samsung phones wherein it can automatically restore apps, settings, including the placement of docks and icons by logging in your Samsung (in this case, Xiaomi) account? It was really convenient when I got my repaired phone earlier this week. I thought it’ll take me the entire day just to restore everything.
I think si google mismo, merong ganitong feature. My Asus Z8 inexplicably died last June, but with automatic backup turned on for my Google account.
When I restored the Google backup to my new phone (Mi 13), andun lahat ng apps, along with my wallpaper+lock screen image, pati yung placing ng icons nakuha.
Yung Tachiyomi extensions+history ko lang ang nawala T_T
It probably has one, but to be honest, I haven’t really explored much of it, mostly out of suspicion.
The Xiaomi native apps are actually the first to go on my phone when I debloated it, and so my fear is that once I upgrade it, those will be restored. Xiaomi makes good phones, but their aps are notorious for being infested with advertisements everywhere.
I’ll probably have to look more into this–which is another reason why tinatamad ako, lol!
Lameeeg 🥴
