 Another live drive. But before that, actually, nalito tayo ngayon sa Makati location natin. Yung nga have one shop in Makati. I mean, we're at the shop or in the parking lot of the shop. But before everything, of course, yung most important. The windows. I have the windows down. Starting out at the parking lot of here. Parking lot of here. Parking lot of hardware sugar. And first, wait, god. God, dammit. We have three destinations. The first is in Pasig and the other two are in Las Pinas. Itong last delivery natin sa Las Pinas. Actually, I'm been wanting to take a visit to that area kasi maraming customers dun. I mean, we get a lot of people from that particular area. It's not like a specific village or anything, but that particular area na nag-o-order from hardware sugar from a regular basis. So, I'm kind of curious to check out the area kung like, I assume it's residential, but why specifically? I mean, there's a, every time you know, I do try to take a look like where did you guys go? Yeah, I do try to take notice of where people or there, especially if they're not within the area or if they don't see. Like if they start out with oh, you know, I found you on YouTube and stuff, then, you know, they could really be anywhere in the Philippines. I mean, YouTube, gyonong kalawak yung reach the YouTube. So, I don't pay particular attention like if somebody mentioned that, oh, you know, I I'm from Bulacan or I'm from Midoro or something, Davao. And, you know, I want to order from you guys because I saw you on YouTube. But I noticed that a lot of blind or customers that don't, you know, they just order, they go to the site, they order, they don't message na, oh, you know, may parang I have a question or, you know, I found you guys from, you know, parang walang, wala nang ek ek palik. They just really order. I notice, I mean, it's not a majority, but you know, a significant minority does come from that area. So this, so we have three delivery stops today. This last one in Las Pinyas, one in Pasig 2 in Las Pinyas. Continue straight. The last one in Las Pinyas, I'm gen, I really am curious about like just to scope out the area to see because you never know. I mean, I've always you know, pangarap na expand yung shop, not just na one location, pero nagdagan na rin location ng hardware sugar. Also, to be honest, we need a lot of capital for that and the cash situation of the shop is always precarious. But, you know, God willing, never, I mean, it's always good to have long term plans and then let's see where that goes. What is this taxi doing? So usually my live drives, my live customer deliveries are I tried to do them so they're out of town. 200 meters. Or, you know, they take me out of Metro Manila, but this first one is actually been a long time supporter of the channel and of the shop. He's always kind of been wondering how come he hasn't gotten a custom delivery. So I don't generally do custom deliveries within Metro Manila. Although I have done one or two, but to be honest, like those are usually full bills. Yeah, but this first delivery is a very special delivery. Generally, I like, I mean, I actually like doing the live drive because it takes me out of the city. But, you know, I figured it's a holiday and actually I was out already this morning with my family. We went to Avalon Zoo. For those who don't know, that's like sa Rizal na siya. So I was able to check out the traffic a while ago. There are still people on the road, but much lighter than usual. So I'm hoping that that remains true for all of my for all of my stops. Talk about it a little bit. So the first guy is getting a 4070ti from MSI. That is Order is a custom order of an MSI 4070ti. Long time supporter of the channel and of the shop. He's actually even played PUBG with my brother on one occasion live. Livestream and second one. So that's the first I have two in Las Pinyas. The second delivery is the first one in Las Pinyas. We got a Kraken Z73 RGB from us. So, NZXT AIO. Why didn't demand actually yung Z series in particular? That's the NZXT AIO with when a display screen on top of it. That is quite popular with customers. And he got a bunch of knock-to-off fans. Actually also fans were in custom orders. Although he did he wanted three fans. He only had two on stock. So he bought the other two. He bought the first two. And then he waited for us to restock. So actually this was a transaction from last week I think but we only got the last fan in yesterday. So I volunteered to bring it over to him today since I do have another I did have another Las Pinyas order scheduled. And that Las Pinyas order is actually that's a full build. So that got ordered I think Monday finished it Wednesday and we'll deliver it today. Excuse me. And that's a pretty good like I don't want to say entry level. It's kind of like mid-range build. Although for some of the I mean it's always relative, right? Some kasi let me just check the comments. Soap Ken Crew. Soap Red Hoodie. Red Hoodie. DJY. Casey Bollos. Oh, Erobu Space. Moniker, is that you? Soap Moniker. Kangaroo. Okay. Just wanted to read the comments to make sure like somebody will always comment if like the video is not working or the audio is not working. So nobody mentioned that in the comments. So I guess we're good. And then I saw a question what car am I using? My regular daily driver. It's the Honda CR-Z. So that's a one of the earliest hybrids I think available in the Philippines. If not the earliest. Around the same time siya nung pre-use, yung unang labas nung pre-use dito. The pre-use is a much better hybrid. I mean the pre-use is much better in terms of gas efficiency. The CR-Z is more of a mild hybrid but I got it because it's much sportier. And like if you've watched my live drives before you know I like a basic topic so they just talk about over and over again on these things and one of them is the car that I'm driving. So the CR-Z is a mild hybrid although I do get around like 13 kilometers per liter which doesn't sound like a lot if you look at the claims of manufacturers. Like you can find a lot of cars na purely gas that claim to get double that efficiency. But these are actual real world. I mean that's an actual real world reading. Hindi siya theoretical because I really think yung mga theoretical numbers nung manufacturer so barang na sisi rada dito sa atin. Like Metro Manila traffic is the worst. I mean it's so inefficient because you're always doing stop-go, stop-go. So that 13 kilometers is like that's an actual reading from my car. So I I think that's not too bad considering Metro Manila traffic which is where I drive at 95% of the time. So the mild hybrid what I why I bought it is it's a two-door it looks like a sports car. It's kind of like a pocket rocket. I mean to be honest we don't have a video about it on the channel if you want to check it out how it's like to drive a hybrid in the tropics kasi maulan sa atin mapaha you know can you can you rely on it and actually niliusub ko na to sa tubig and it's still working no problem in the batteries. This thing is quite old already more than more than five years I think it's around seven years or so but the batteries work great so the hybrid engine still works fine and yeah so the why what what drew me to it was that it's really sporty so you have icon mode where you know you step on the gas you don't accelerate too much there's normal mode but then you have sports mode where if you press there's a button here on the dash you press it it becomes it goes into sports mode so kontin apak lang sa accelerator talagang you know a rankada siya and even the even the steering tightens up it becomes it becomes a lot more sensitive kontin tapik mo lang sa sa monobela you know you can tighten this down properly isn't here let's not get into an accident let's go on the road and I'll worry about the camera later so the so the sports so I don't you know I like it well back in the day it was kinda novel pero ngayon di na masyado when you're in traffic when you're not moving the engine shuts down so that saves a lot of gas as well especially in medramanila traffic nowadays there are a lot of hybrids available on the road and I mean available on the local market and good for the local market I'm glad like Nissan has so many hybrids now a lot of the Chinese brands have a lot of hybrids also on the spare electric you have Nissan with the Nissan Leaf pure EV the Prius I don't know when the Toyota here is getting the new Prius or the latest version of the Prius pero ganda nung new styling lang I'm not even talking about fuel efficient and its engine is much more powerful talking about the new Prius and the styling also looks a lot sportier than the than the old Prius but I don't know if the local Toyota have that yet yeah but a lot a lot of options now on the local car market for hybrids and even full electrics from well-known brands as well as relatively obscure brands but the CRC was one of the first that you could buy in the Philippines I did want a hybrid but you know actually so I wanted a hybrid but I didn't really want to get a Prius because it was such a daddy car and I wasn't a daddy at the time so parang someone may coating aggression if you listen to some of my videos where I talk about like what case I like what styling on a computer I like I don't like yung parang boring office type as that thank you very clean I mean I'm talking about like NGXT the NGXT cases they're very clean looking a lot of people like them but personally for me they're too plain parang European type aesthetic na that's also what I don't like about my little driving it's really confusing can you imagine a foreigner had to drive here I was with a Chinese he was with a brand so the brand came over we have good relations with the brand so when the representatives of the brand from China came over we had I had lunch with them with the guys from China as well as the local local agent or local basically the country had here on me and so the Chinese guy was just like oh my goodness I could not drive in the Philippines because it is the streets are so tight it's pandemonium it's chaos and this is a guy who lives in this is a guy who lives in Beijing which I visited a long time ago but even then it was like also a jam-packed city so this is a guy who's used to a jam-packed city but he's saying Manila is just it's a whole other animal that's why I don't enjoy driving in Manila too much because not only Thursday there's traffic but it's also driving sa Manila it's like every move is critical if you make one mistake if you miss one turn alayaw na nang u-turn may mga u-turn but other people di kapapatahanin ang ibang tao it's a very hostile driving environment so you really have to super on your toes and may malayaw palang kung alam mo na traffic ako hirap ang kumanan so dun ka na sa rightmost lane even though sa prang layaw pa may din dun sa rightmost lane din may eong puro POV so na tatrafika they're going straight you're going right but you have to be in the right lane because kung ang dun ka naman katabeyong right lane baka huli in ka pa for cutting number one number two baka di ka pa Pasinghitiin kasi yun nga, sobrang aggressive ng mga drivers sa atin dito. So yes, so I don't, it's no fun driving in the city, but outside the city when you get to the highway, so you get to... I don't even mind the rural road so much. It's more like yung... I like getting out there, stretching my legs, whether highway or... Like you get on the rural road. But driving with Inmetro Manila, I really find it. Like even if you know where you're going, sobrang... It takes a lot of effort. It takes a lot of, you know, it takes a lot out of you. Maslala pa... Maslala pa when you don't know where you're going. But again, you know, light traffic. So another thing about the CRZ, I really wanted a... I wanted a hybrid then. Okay. Wait lang gaisa, trying to figure out the road. It's been a while since. I've been to this neck of the woods. Yeah, but I was saying I wanted a hybrid. And the Prius was available. But I didn't really want the Prius because it was such a daddy car. So... When I was buying this car, my choices were this car or Toyota 86. So, you know, Toyota 86 malayo-malayo from a fuel-efficient car. So I was really looking for kind of like a sports car type. I decided on the CRZ. One because it is a hybrid. And number two, it had a lot more tech. It had a lot more tech in it. So it had the sports mode and things like that. It had the hybrid thing. It had the auto engine shutdown. Toyota 86 is still a beautiful looking car. I mean, even now, couple of years later, the styling, excellent. It still looks great. But, you know, it was basically just like your standard car. The CRZ had a lot more... flavor to it. And I also quite like the looks of the CRZ. So it's a hatchback, two-door. So I was like, yeah, okay, what the heck? Let's go with the... Let's go with the... Let's go with the CRZ. And I have not regretted it. It's also six-speed. It's the only car I've ever... I do prefer driving manual, even with the traffic nowadays. I mean, I... Nothing against people who drive automatics. No issue. Like a lot of guys, or I know some people are like, oh, you know, only real drivers drive stick. And, you know, panong it's like you're playing a toy if you drive matik. I have no issue with people who drive matik. I just personally prefer manual. I prefer the... I prefer the manual nature of... I mean, it sounds redundant, but I prefer the... You have more control over the car, like in terms of acceleration and speed and just the... Just the... Just that your right hand has something to do while you're driving. I mean, you know, it's more... You feel more connected with your car because you... Turn right. Turn right na ba tayo, guys. The down and the dodgy to. Thanks, Master Chief. Okay, when I get to my destination, the first thing I'm going to do is make sure this thing stops swinging around. This is actually a nice street, though. Very treeline. So I'm not sure how efficient my route is, but basically it's passing and then laspid niya. So it's kind of medyo tagos. I do try to bunch up also these things na I tried to get as much deliveries in as possible when I do these live drives. I used to do them... Let's put some. I didn't mind I used to do them a lot, but also during... Can't remember when I first started streaming the live drives. We've actually been delivering like, you know, personal delivery, live delivery. We've been doing that since the start of the shop. Me personally, I've gone like all the way to Subic at the dead of night para hindi traffic. We, at first, to differentiate us. Before kasi, kung nagsimilayin shop, free delivery, kahit, you know, basawin in Metro Manila. And then even on the outskirts of Metro Manila kasi we were really desperate for people to kind of like, oh, take notice that there's a new PC shop and we wanted to emphasize that it was super easy. Kind of differentiate ourselves from everybody else. But, you know, a lot of people, it didn't really generate a lot of traffic or a lot of interest from the customers. I mean, people always say that it's nice to have free delivery, pero it's not distinctive enough for you to buy from us compared to, let's say, buying. Kasi, I mean, yung mga big PC shops, may reputation na sila di ba, alam mo na legit, but you have a new shop, unknown, medyo mahal, I mean, you know, your buying computer parts which inherently can be kind of expensive. So, parang nag-dudaka, parang kinakabahan ka na should I buy from these guys. And what is this guy? And so while free shipping, free delivery was nice to have, it wasn't enough for a lot of people to decide that, okay, you know, I'm gonna try hardware sugar. And even customer reviews, so even from the beginning, five-star reviews, parang they really took the time to explain what ay yung suggestions sila, bakit gaya dito, what CPU and things, and then free delivery, very friendly. So usually five-star, pero even that in the early days, hindi siya, it wasn't that big distinction, like hindi it wasn't enough to push people, a lot of people to try us out. So really like for the first two years, business was very slow, madalang and you know, we were just in this very small shop, parang pulling the wall type that I could stretch out my arms and then tatama na between the two walls of the shop. So really kind of slow going. We tried all sorts of things to generate interest, to show that we're different, to show that we tried to think of the customer first. But well, you know, what we did it was the was the YouTube channel. And that one you could argue that's not even a direct interest to the customer. I mean, you do a lot of people get tips. I mean, let's oh, you know, let's do an ITX build and for ITX builds these are the kind of things you want to look out for parang ganyan. But actually, I know a lot of people who have used the knowledge from our from our channel. Okay, I think we're about to get to a village. Not to get to the outskirts of the village. Let me just get the details here. Yeah, so if you think about it, hindi raman nat-garong ka, I mean, free shipping and stuff made direct. I it's always fascinating to me the different kind of permutations where people live. Like there's an outer gate and there's an inner gate. Parang de itong ngayon may RFID. And usually I amuse myself by observing just how anal the guards are. The worst guards talaga, the worst, the worst. Or in ayalala bang I'm actually going to visit a friend after. So I'm going to we have three deliveries and then we have three deliveries and I have a friend who lives in alabang in ayala alabang and here we go. 200 meters. And I'm going to visit him after all of the deliveries. But he knows this and I think that the ayala alabang guards are like the most anal in the world. Like yung talagang like the it's borderline rude how they are and it's um and then they it's just the whole demeanor of the way they approach somebody who's not a resident entering the village and it I mean not to I mean we own property in alabang so I would qualify as a resident but it's not that so it's from the point of view of somebody who but who it guy rat sani para actually do a delivery I mean gotta do a thing that I mag-check the comments later alright just stay there let me know if I get car napped first delivery now I got set now the second delivery sino sa now the second delivery sino sabi niya na yung inner gate sa rado so there's only one there's only one direction alright make sure we get this right it's quite hassle to find places here sa atin because a lot of a lot of let me you turn and then let me and then we will I think there's sabi there's someone hidden in the back seat my car wouldn't do that to me I trust my car to let me know if there have been any intruders or strangers in it while I was out I was trying to fix while you were it was while the internet was trying to reconnect I was trying to fix the the tripod you know the tripod you know just keep swinging around but I can't find the proper thing to lock it just keep swinging around but I can't find the proper thing to lock it as I was saying that from the customer of one of you it's like oh, free delivery and shipment to my place and you know that should be standard but it's actually very difficult to find places dito sa atin alright just making sure that we're on the right place it's nerve-wracking and you're going to a new place for the first time yeah, nice guide at customer long time customer long time supporter of the channel not here wrong gate gotta get my ID alright, so we gotta go all the way back to C5 yung ya, medyo di sya straight route kay, we gotta make it back to C5 then we're gonna go to alabang bang I assume the general route of free delivery straight to your door seems like an easy thing everybody should do it but actually it's quite difficult to do it dito sa atin because a lot of the places aren't it's not street number and then street name and then parang guy a lot of places are super difficult and even in my limited time that I've been delivering things personally na encounter ko yun so we always whenever I have to do the delivery I always ask the customer to please pinpoint your exact location it's not even just like a google map pin or a ways pin we use the site it's free called what3words so the smart guys at what3words the founders figured out that within like a 5x5 like if you cut up the entire world into like 5x5 kilometer I don't know exactly what the resolution is but let's say some discrete like very small very particular resolution already like that any spot in the world can be uniquely identified with 3 random words in English so they cut up the entire world into these little squares and then assign each square 3 random words 3 random English words and I find that that site is super useful so I just ask the customer to hey you know yeah here's what3words please tell me what words correspond to your location and then ako na bahala because once you have the what3words location you can send it to ways and then ways will tell you from there it's just that it has a better it's much more user friendly to think about locations in with 3 random English words compared for example to using GPS coordinates or longitude, latitude which I think Google Maps uses I mean yes these things are very specific but they're not very user friendly and if you're just a customer who just wants to get his computer part delivered to him but you don't want to have been messing around anymore with like why won't this pin work and whatnot so what3words is a super it has not failed me like no customer has ever complained na mahirap siya gamitin and no customer has ever gotten it wrong like when they drop that pin that is their pin like it wasn't like oh I misunderstood then I should have dropped it somewhere pala di pala ka na ito parong ganyan so what3words the site the URL is WHAT and then number 3 then words so what3words.com super useful and whenever if I'm delivering to you personally in the future unless it's an address that I know well I'm gonna ask you for the what your what your 3 words are or what the 3 words of your location are so that I can look it up and all of 2 out of the 3 of the deliveries now I look them up on what 3 words the third one actually last minute lang tapos may street name and street number naman so any nga kasi last minute I only finalized it like this afternoon actually before I left di ko na siya hiningan nung what3words but 2 out of the 3 like this first one was a what3words location and then for me that's a super useful start-up sometimes you hear about start-ups na ang labo ng product nila you're like wondering well how is that useful or that's just all hype or it's just jumping on oh like everybody's like wild about AI now so next let's do an AI start-up pero hini naman siya nakakatulong talaga ni siya practical anang anabang end value to the user and previous if you watched my live drive before you know I like to rant about we work which I never understood the business model behind we work so I felt I felt justified when we work collapse kasi a lot of smart people gave money to we work like soft bank understand our heroics I think one of the top BC firms so a lot of people were supporters of we work but I never understood we hit I had a green light and then it turned yellow and I could have run it but then I saw that we're right in front of the Pasig city police headquarters so let's not run let's not run red lights to be fair it wasn't a red light like if you're gonna run it like if I had run it it would've been just like a yellow light but let's not run a yellow light right in front of Pasig city police headquarters so far good made good time I'm not too familiar actually with laspinas there was this one one horrible live drive I had again it was like three deliveries the first one right outside alabang I did that one first the second one was somewhere parang sa likod ng BF so I got to that okay the third one was like the third one was but say you need to go through BF to get back to the main road and then the red the retro cut towards the coast and that was pretty bad because BF won't let you cut through BF at all and then ways of telling me to go through areas na ways of telling me to go through areas na sarado for some reason so it's a real pain in the butt trying to figure out how to get back to the main road without cutting through BF yeah it was a real pain in the butt so meto traumatize ako actually by laspinas deliveries hopefully it won't be as bad now and I wish this my tripod swinging around all over the place stay the course it's been good so far although the flip side of live traffic is that a lot of people their inner speed demons come out so you also have to be careful not so much from a traffic standpoint but from a safety standpoint like you know you have suddenly people zooming in and doing crazy things on the road because I think nobody else is on the road so basically just like a typical Sunday in Philippine driving in 200 meters okay I think I came from over there so I'm going to come up from over here yeah so that part I just dropped off 47 ti wait na chase we got a curve stay the course alright used to live like where I am right now but like on the right so if like I go all the way down there I would hit that we would reach for subdivisions I'm vaguely familiar with this area but not the area where we just came from and it has been a long time na be clarified since I have had occasion to visit my ex-girlfriend's subdivision but this area yes like I'm kind of familiar with at least at least good enough to get me back to C5 then C5, the red red show then you kind of go on south super and then Las Pinas okay alright as a driver I like to know oh mali pala guys the entire speech about like my ex-girlfriend's thing is like on the right that's not correct like I'm in a completely different place where I thought I was take that back I did not how did that happen no map should have been correct I don't know why but anyway now yes I know where this is also alright quickly I still am correct like I wasn't in the spot where I thought I was but direction wise tama pa rin naman yeah that was not like with where GPS position I would have been like several beats off or something okay but now on C5 headed towards Las Pinas 4070ti interesting thing about the 4070ti a lot of people a lot of the reviewers in general find the 4070ti to be too expensive but they said the same thing about the 4080 they said the same thing about the 4090 hindi naman sa nawalang improvement actually there is you do see significant performance you do see a significant performance gain when you shift to the 40 series cards compared to their predecessor's and reviewers don't dispute that what the reviewers don't like is na sabrang mahal pa rin niya that's the one that wait let me try to fix this while we're at the red light where are you, why are you falling this episode janky I don't remember about it like the highway okay so the swiveling problem on the tripod I solved that but now the problem is the tripod is not event sobrang layo I don't know if you can hear me but if I hold it here aren't the leg folded in on itself why would it do that alright the joys of live streaming on a shoestring budget alright let me I gotta do some driving shit make sure drive safe it rocks pa rin ng C5 kahit na daw kahit holy thursday doing tripod two fards never just ride and I do need my ride arm is steadying it now but I do need it for shifting because early at 50 50 and like I'm on third gear get through some kind of heavy traffic and then I'll talk about give my honest opinion about the 40 series cards okay wait na you pick up usually was okay with that position even though it's not the best I'll just talk louder that's not a problem my voice is loud so a lot of people like it's really not a stable but anyway okay there have been three 40 series cards 4090, 4080 and the latest of 4070ti and nobody disputes that they do have significant performance gains the problem is ang mahal nila ang mahal parin nila even though di na pandemic even though wala na chip shortage they're the next generation why can't I get better performance in the last generation but at a decent price and yes I do think that like maybe like the 4090 is bonkers expensive I mean NVIDIA has been conditioning us for years to expect higher and higher prices from their each time the generation goes up and you can actually look back at the pricing data even pre-pandemic and you can see that that they have been racing the prices of the next card the next card the next card to precondition the market that more expensive okay it's the next gen so you're gonna be more expensive than the last gen okay so I do agree that the you know like the 4090 is overpriced hang on let me over take a gas truck a lot of reviewers are just that's their otogoto opinion about NVIDIA oh overpriced oh overpriced because when you say that you get views oh man I'm in the truck plane it's a bunch of bias it's a bias for views you know if you want to be you always want to look on the side you want to look like you're on the side of the consumer so you're like oh overpriced overpriced and who doesn't want to hit it the company the manufacturer the designer in this case NVIDIA is an easy punching bag oh yeah overpriced overpriced at the same time though you have a card like the 4070 DI and reviewers were like well you know for what you get hindi siya cost efficient hindi siya bank for buck hindi siya value for money but the 4070 DI came out because it is the cheapest of the 40 series there are a lot of queries just because people do want to upgrade to the 40 series at the reasonable price and even though it might not be the best value for money for them the overall price is worth it I always find it interesting from the point of view of somebody who does tech YouTube and then compared that to my point of view as somebody who runs a PC shop sometimes the views really don't intersect they don't like they don't share common ground because when you listen to tech YouTubers it's always like oh hindi siya is overpriced blah blah blah but like very specifically for the 4070 DI we had a lot of people we had a lot of customers it generated a lot of interest because they don't mind too much on value for money mas priority para sa kanila yung baka upgrade to a 40 series card and that's something I mean yeah tech YouTubers want to focus on efficiency on value per dollar value per peso yung bang for your buck but for a rich consumer while that might be nice to have what's nicer to have is a 40 series card so I think this one was around once a 4070 DI na around 50K or so more handa not 60 I think so it's around mid 50s roughly something like that and that is a price that a lot of people are willing to pay for for a 40 series card and then reviewers are like well why don't you just get a 4080 because that DI is basically a cut down version of the 4080 anyway in fact release it as a 4080 initially but then you know there's a backlash and things like that but for a lot of people it just boils down to what's the price and what model is it I mean it's a 40 series card at this price okay that I can live with that price for a 40 series card might not be and you know kung baka parang abstraction na lang yung value for money and cost efficiency and things like that I mean for end of the day arguments it's um service road wait I hope you're going to take maybe to take the service road kill the cavitex and I've never been on this particular highway before and I just want to envidia and in fact everybody who comments on the YouTube channel is like well you should just go AMD you should just go AMD but that's another thing customers don't want to go AMD especially dito sa atin sikat na yung envidia and we're very brand conscious particularly pagdating ng GPUs oh this is different okay so kind of tech YouTuber easy response na well you know AMD is better value for money pa pa pa pa la you should try it out you don't really need like great RTX performance anyway or ray tracing performance panang ito show me more balance than I thought I had internet cut out we're right beside the airport now so on my right is the airport we actually have an airplane coming in over here and road before the toll road yung RFID ko I'll talk to how I'd like like I'd have two streams but I mean I'm streaming at the same time but one stream would be like the one showing on Facebook would be like what you see what I'm seeing like on the road and then like like an operator in the car with you just to mesh all of those streams together or what not I mean para mas smooth but I'm usually solo flight on these things but we'll get around we'll get around to that eventually yes I was saying I'm delivered there actually YouTubers mag oh you know and it is too expensive not good value for money you should buy AMD but from a customer perspective nobody wants to buy AMD and even myself like on the videos I go and you know the 6000 series of AMD are great value now they're really trying to move them in preparation for you know get rid of the 6000 series stuff because it may 7000 series not price is really good but nobody wants to buy them and to be fair also even in the shop we've been kinda we've been kinda even in the shop we've been a little wary of AMD ever since the 5000 series their drivers were just so bad and whenever whenever I mention this in the videos a lot of people are like you know I've had AMD for such a long time never para mano nakakaproblema and if that's your experience that's you've been look you've been lucky good for you I hope your luck continues but this is hamen we just can't rely on chamba-chamba na okay like like internet actually I'm using smart my ways is on globes I'm using two different cell phones the one streaming is using smart and then my personal phone I mean you've on these live drives you feel like kind of like a DJ a DJ without the music so you really gotta you wanna keep up the pattern or you know you wanna keep up the conversation on these live drives like I really try there isn't a lot of dead air and initially like the first two times or so I did this I would have a string of toppings written down or just bullet points like oh that's all about this that's all about that but you know that got that's more work and I've gotten sufficiently comfortable enough to just kind of I wanna say wing it I mean I do still try to be a bit organized in what I discuss but at the same time there are go-to topics already that I can reliably call upon internet connection for mobile like this one stop actually we're busy at the airport AMD NVIDIA everybody still likes NVIDIA even though everybody else says they're over front our last delivery here is a full build we actually just got in right before we closed yesterday we got a new build come in again from an old customer and a lot of our a lot of our business really is from repeat customers and it's always nice to have because usually okay naman tonggay na to I mean when you sell blind to someone for the first time it can be a little nerve-wracking because you think na mariklamo ba tonggay na to I don't mean like of course you should complain when the GPU is not working or things like that but but there are some customers who aren't as technical and then when they complain it's hard to explain to them that's already outside our purview and it goes back to what I was saying about NVIDIA and AMD when you get an AMD card and it's not working usually that software related so it's drivers and so if but if you tell that to the customer na um but you know there's nothing wrong with the hardware so unfortunately there's nothing I can do and the customer will just look at you like why I can't if the card is not working I can't play my game and on one hand it's true yes it is not working you can't play your game it's always crashing or whatever but um that's outside of our warranty because we only cover hardware software fixes we can't do it um our suppliers can't do it the only one who can do it is AMD but that distinction between hardware and software is something a little difficult to grasp for non-technical people it can be challenging to have to explain to some customers to get frustrated or annoyed and hindi nga gumagana ayusin nyo dapat kasamato sa warranty and hindi nga, you have to explain that yes it's not working but it's not our fault and of course um from the point of view the customer they want hardware sugar to take care of it kasi kami yung point of contact de you bought from the shop but at the same time we know we're not we're not qualified the right drivers the right graphic drivers and um it's just really something out of our control it's kinda like once you go to analogy like you bought chocolate and you want it sugar free so you go to the shop where you bought it from and you say make it sugar free and the shop has no control over that because that's the content of the product now if like now if the product said that it was 98% kakao and it wasn't then you could send it back to the and it isn't but in the case where you would like it to be something else like you know something intrinsic to it ah well you know that's not a good analogy kinda fell apart there sorry also trying to make sure I don't make sure I don't I uh make sure I don't miss a turn or something in front of me just did a bone headed maneuver anyway this part I have passed here before also for hardware sugar delivery what I like about live drive helps me get to know the city more and if not the city since ayokong ana I don't usually like driving in the city outside the city but anyway here we are and so far the driving has been pleasant not like not like highway pedal to the metal not that I ever pedal to the metal but not like highway cruising level but um we don't actually stock the 40 series cards in the shop at the moment because to be honest like we're in a kind of cash crunch not so much like like all of the cash that we get from sales we just turn them around and buy new hardware with them so we haven't had enough of a surplus in the budget to splurge on 40 series cards but that's but if you want to get from us just like now the first order we dropped off as a 4070ti just let us know what you need and then we can usually custom order it for you I shouldn't have you turn I'm just talking about like how in the Philippines driving is always such like a touch move like one little mistake and like and it's like you're super traffic or pasikot-sikot na yung daan and stuff I hope not but this is the route actually na I'm familiar although maytong traffic na we're gonna end up on Zapote it's make me do the BFC again oh my goodness oh pero 16 minutes sa lang kung may sticker this is like super far you know the thing I was talking about na dati sa rado parang it's making me do that now so I hope hindi siya sa rado ngayon this also doesn't seem to coincide with this also doesn't seem to coincide with the directions our customer gave me so did I just fatally was that a fatal error the one na I you turn but I should have gone straight and turn left although gone straight turn left and you turn turn right I mean you're basically headed in the same direction I don't know why the mobility talaga in this city I don't know why they make it so hard for people well just crossing my fingers that just crossing my fingers that this river drive thing is open now it wasn't before and it was a real pain in the butt to figure out how to cut how to get to a place without going through BF where I don't have a sticker for like I have gone this route before I tried to remember like which customer that was for this is pretty traffic though especially for Holy Thursday I used to love like the best is kabagano you have to drive kabag gondas and if you stay away from the cemeteries usually you're pretty good like there's nobody on the road this Holy Thursday is pretty pretty jam packed I mean you know relatively parang siya madami tau sadan let's see how it goes so we gotta cross this intersection then we gotta hit the river side or it was at the side of the water yeah so I guess I'm failing the pattern test or you know keeping up commentary because I'm trying to figure out where we are and what's going on okay turn left here this is what I dislike gotta think of my shades to make sure that it's possible traffic one of the things actually that isn't good about the CRZ there's terrible visibility dun sa kanan like the rear right it's horrible visibility they're just touting the one of the things I like about I mean I was touting like why I got this car and I really enjoy it but one of the really negative things about it is like if you have to merge from traffic basically this is me and this is oncoming traffic here you don't have good visibility here so that's why I have to be really careful and there was traffic like there was oncoming traffic gotta gotta be careful so okay at least now this portion where I am nagani ko nang ato dati one one drive and then the second drive sa rato siya so at least ngayon bos na siya ngayon so we're gonna come out I just hope that this is kind of because yung problema naman dito sa delivery na to parang a lot of the a lot of the gate inside this village are closed I don't know why so there's a specific route there's only one route that you can take basically but I don't know if Waze knows that so let's see although at least this river river drive so we're really here beside the creek now it's pleasant it's just that really yung pandemic atayon or petro patapos yung pandemic e bosa this was closed for some reason it's really difficult to find an alternate route but ok naman so far I don't know actually like I don't know enough about this place to this way to alabang sabote route by a pangplona park it's actually near alabang are we like how near alabang oh man okay anyway yeah so right before we closed down so we are closed today and tomorrow but we're open saturday sunday one day right before we closed down we got another order for a video editing PC from a long time customer and the life blood of the shop has really been people who come back to us for upgrades people who recommend us to friends so they get something and then their friends get something and then hopefully it's like a snowball but as I mentioned before it it takes a long time for the snowball to start building up our first two years were super quiet and then metro the youtube channel kinda started gaining traction and then we started gaining traction or the shop the shop started getting more customers in large part because of the boost from the visibility of the youtube channel but it's just been kind of you know we're at this for like around four years now it's kinda surprising to take a look and think a lot of the things that customers say they want it doesn't really sway their opinion pala like free delivery and then and even yung basic communications we take pride na if you message us we're gonna reply to you even if you don't have the part you're looking for even if we even if we can't help you I mean because you're asking for a laptop where you don't do laptop repair or we don't we don't carry laptop parts even if we can't we can't help you in any way we'll let you know that oh I'm sorry that's just not something we can do so we really try to reply to everybody and customers also when you ask them they always saying fast communication but prior to the YouTube channel taking off we had a very dedicated base but small like a very small base it was only the YouTube channel when the YouTube channel started to become popular that like oh okay parang di mamay yung mga tao and for me that's a bit surprising and a little silly because yeah we were giving tangible benefits to the customer like yung a free delivery and like ridiculous free delivery yung kaputang subik and stuff free delivery pa yun yung maputa ko dun sa pinakadulo nung in legs that was free delivery so obviously loogie yung shop it's just that you know we wanted parang kumagang marketing okay see that okay so we just stop by BF where their leg BF sticker BF sticker BF sticker before BF sticker BF sticker and so like on one hand you have tangible benefits but it didn't impact anything like people weren't excited encouraged incentivized to try us out to visit the shop to buy some of your parts for sugar but then you get the YouTube channel which is an indirect benefit yung a yung you have us giving PC tips and stuff like that but it's not like there's no monetary value to those tips and if you for most of those tips if you just ask us like message us even before you do need a sticker to go to BF I mean it wanted me to go to BF man I hate every time every time alternate route oh my god I don't know where I officially hate delivery to Las Pinas now same problem as before I don't know why why can't I just stay on alabang zapote why can't I just get to alabang zapote okay I don't know like it's like super layo then I'm still around along the river okay I might need to ah this is this is familiar I might need to recall yeah it's just like you keep crisscrossing left and right trying to find how to get to alabang zapote why don't I just why don't I just do alabang zapote to begin this study this and figure out like how to never again run into this problem but this is just ridiculous what I did before was I just basically kept trying to reach alabang zapote and then from there I just kept going alabang zapote okay I guess I should do that so annoying not the ideal way that I want to be spending my holiday see fatal like now I'm thinking that you turned that I did is that what screwed everything up send help it's just BF it's just BF all the way but you just keep going and going this is how I always feel about this road like and then there's no other there's no other way so annoying like it's just one straight thing and then every possible option it's like oh roped off BF BF how does one get a BF sticker goodness this is insane I don't even know where I'm going I guess I should just try to get back to alabang zapote how long have I been driving at hour 13 I could just get through this stupid BF ways also is no help and this is really where you feel that modern convenience they can like back in the June at a coffee shop now owned by Nani Villar coffee shop because we're of course in Villar territory but park a little bit and figure out what the heck is going on hang on guys it's always you go I could just go back the way I came new plan we're just going to keep going straight all the way papuntang bako or and then we're going to eventually we should be able to alright man hate this hate hate hate another maybe I should stop doing live drives within the city it's just it's just not fun or maybe just laspinas this BF craziness always I was just mentioning like before we started so I'm just going just going by gut feel now just keep going along this thing past BF yeah the thing is I should just always just go to alabang sabote I don't know why ways think good idea to make you cut through back alleys and stuff alabang sabote lang naman yung gusto niya like I could have taken south super highway then not feeling best exit alabang sit and basically you're alabang sabote was that too much to ask please so basically you just want to keep going straight until you can turn right but then that leads us back to where we were and this is just like this is our first delivery we haven't even I mean sorry this is the second there's still a third after this this way can't expropriate this people have public interest I mean obviously they rope it off and then they're like oh you need a sticker you need a sticker so that must mean a lot of people want to pass through here so there seems to be a public interest in letting the public pass through BF how about it maybe not ay after noon actually gusto ko lang no access broad lalabas ako sa may alabang sabote problema BF sa parang ikot kasi di ito sir e yun din ang anon nila ito ang problema nito ano ba ano saan ba yung dan ito sir sa rival drop ko yun sir pag alabas nyo dito galing dito para no kayo ayos bye bye nyan alang o yun yung dan na yun yun na yung palabas dito pero yung directya dito malabang lasutan pero pwede rin last pinya so ba pwede rin dito saan mo kayo lalabas yung paray doon ni madam sige saay din mo ba kayo nakakakano ok so that was no go because again there's another subdivision block in the way I'm not the only one with a problem not that it doesn't help anybody alright that same plan we're gonna go left along the river drive until we reach a place where we can turn right nga ba ito so much time wasted basically we wanna go right so right is where alabang sapote is and alabang sapote will allow us to get to where we need to go the problem is on the right is private property so that's BF it's obvious pun there but I will refrain from making it so we can't cut through BF and also I'm going straight until we hit bako or and then I turn right somewhere in bako or and then I turn right again at alabang sapote because basically alabang sapote ends in bako or I mean that end of alabang sapote what I basically want to do is make a big U-turn around BF and I swear to myself this is the last time I'm gonna do this like if I have deliveries in this area I'm gonna study it beforehand because it ways gives you a false sense of security na yes right here in the map and we know what we're doing and stuff like that not so pleasant anymore but we should come down and not panic that's when accidents happen we should just relax I forget how I solved this conundrum before I also remember going back and forth until nakahanap ako like I was kinda but I don't know that works now because in before may parang ibang streets ng BF na you could still enter and it kinda work your way through there but this time it seems like everything has been fenced off I'm gonna figure it out theoretically in my head friendship boot this guy in front of me has the same idea as me really trippy they're gonna take okay well this is kinda the road I wanted to take so we're actually going to make it all the way to bako or just because BF mo tano thanks BF FUNK TV SHOW of Williare Williamay on Williare Williamay on the Bilyar Network although I do believe Wawawee has given in his resignation to that network in the pot okay so we're like in the top part of the U-turn so we've gone like this or like this or like this or this part this part like once we get there I need to figure out how to get to this house when there's only one way to get to the house and this is how accidents happen when you're not quite sure how to get to a place you know looking at the map and traffic and for all of you and stuff anyway at least we have a lot of gas that's crucial for my dad whenever you're going somewhere you don't know make sure you have a full pack of gas because you never know you never know what twists and turns you're gonna take man this is terrible though everybody's driving so fast on this road I feel like an old man I'm back on I'm back on equal everybody was speeding then we stopped naman pala we turn right at least tamon less speed general direction well it's only 330 but we'll have some errands to do after all of this so I hope the last delivery isn't as difficult again like with my luck that the last delivery will have me going again to that godforsaken sabote river drive the worst thanks we go thanks for blocking TV star avenue did you die na alright reconnected I thought the phone died because I couldn't see anything yeah yeah we turn right this sounds far but how do we got to it easily enough we have pedestrians and they signal to you that yes please stop for me and then they raise their hands but at the same time they don't make any effort to cross the street quickly it's like yes look at my hand my hand will prevent you from running me over and in a metaphorical sense that is true as a communicative sense as a way of giving information that yes my hand is asking me to stop asking me sorry my hand is my way of asking you to stop or to break your car but like on a physical level you know that hand is not going to stop the car so maybe a bit of hast is good and it always I always wonder like para ko sobrang automatic sa aking na na I'm crossing the street look left, look right and then cross I mean it's just the way of practice growing up but I see a lot of people who don't look left who don't look at all whether one direction or both directions and then they just cross and that's really like that's not a good way to live life if you're crossing the street in the Philippines and you don't look and yet you see so many people doing it I'm not even just talking about like as a driver like as a pedestrian also I like to observe other people and a lot of people just don't look just wonder where this confidence comes from no problem this hand will stop metal will stop 70 kilometers 70 kph worth of aluminum and steel oh my goodness I think I was just here this whole time I remember this we just came we came from here and then we turned right to the God-awful road but here we are and now where's my right turn talapang zapotin this one ah yaya yaya alapang zapotin na pa na to this looks somewhat familiar yeah we came from there we came from there yes like I we passed this okay because I also want to know so that in the future I don't screw up so bad man okay okay yaya yaya it's like and it's like a revelation it's like oh my god I'm all about the future now I'm all about like thinking about the future after the villiar mall we turn right try not to give the street name just because I don't want to dox this customer like inadvertently dox this customer but the villiar mall is before the SM mall if you see the SM mall we've screwed up and I can't I don't want to screw up again because it's just another paro medyo tamaan naman times like this I do wish I had a co-pilot alapang zapotin road terrible okay okay there's vista mall after vista mall we turn right okay sorry I can't I haven't been able to keep up the pattern because I'm still trying to yunya there's a specific way you need to approach this customer's house it's not enough now I don't understand that drives me up the wall with local drivers mabaga lang ang asa sa kenila but when you want to overtake them they speed up like I have no idea like like it just seems like good road etiquette if you're not going to make use of them now we have this idiot doing this u-turn the record this inner city driving is not as fun as what way to turn right here but parang I want to fine fine okay okay it's the same one alright good good good good ways I know there's a reason like you trusting you yeah for the record this inner city okay okay thank you Jesus and I hate body you know I have friends who live in the south and I'm just like God all of these villages parang this is this would have been it oh my God a u-turn now I'm the idiot who's doing a stupid u-turn I mean stupid I mean not particularly safe dito chief dito niya pinapadaan eh okay Kevin e dito e dito e dito e dito e dito e dito e dito e dito e dito e dito and like there are villages in villages and I can't even say the address when I'm talking to the guard I don't want to say the address because ginga I don't want to dox I don't want to dox the the customer so there's like a village within a village so tired so tired of this man it's just that ay afternoon kayano ay okay na si Kate okay why haven't why still have inner gates if like you're not gonna check anyway anyway all right we're finally we are finally about to make the second delivery and di naman sa ano ha but like the delivery to my house is super simple I don't know I don't know when you go south it's like village within village and ID after ID layer after layer oh geez man and then just that just that crucial crucial mistake with it wasn't so much the it wasn't so much the grave 200 meters like that thing where I U-turn instead of straight and left or maybe no but then the U-turn got me to alabang zapote once so that was okay pa like my mistake was just not realizing that that was already alabang zapote but yeah ways that really doesn't do well here in the south like particularly this alabang area all right we're on the street just find the proper house number and then we can do delivery number two and then we have delivery number three coming up which I hope to God doesn't involve monking around again in the territory of BF see you don't have these problems when you go outside the city get on the highway get on N-legs you get on S-legs and then you just have a good time on the highway then you have kind of winding roads and stuff like that but it's just inside the city it's not fun cool not done yet in fact I'm gonna gonna charge you because I'm gonna plug in plug in the power bank because okay always come prepared stop is your shop repaint the GPU also ah no we don't we don't repaint the GPU we repaint the GPU charge up all right time out guys I'll be right back delivery number two just looking for my mask man spinias terrible hi Kevin sa mulino man man and you know I was like I was saying God this isn't my first time but I was hoping na we wouldn't hit this ah grave of it anyway kita sa LS3 guys all you need to know is yung VF doon is talagang sarado siya ka it's like a fortress I mean talagang tuloy-tuloy lang siya and then I pull all the way ko alabang oh wild and then so that's why I gave you a map that traverses alabang so that you can go straight straight direct direct siya and then as you can see sarado din yung once parang initiyo ko you didn't get back to alabang zapote but it was really like oh man yung reason kasi parang di siya aware na ano na yami siya na ano yung iba iba oh so ano kasi iso parang galing ka sa sukat yung punctured past sukat and then or sa pulang nupa so may airport then C5 C5 ya C5 then matang tumagos dito and then ko yung din na sana mag-less na lang alabang pero bawal bawal talaga e kahit dito sana yung dito ano crazy ya anyway ano okay ah ah the actually I get the most important the the bracket yeah the bracket is here na sa ano thank you alright thank you so much CX3D and 7900X3D in 7800 wala pa yung I mean but but we let you know we let you know pag may advice na yes okay okay just message me again and then kahit thank you wala very sorry na wala very no problem it's not your fault thank you thanks enjoy no no worries alright second delivery down check complete and get some water first alright um actually if we could take BF the next guy is just like 15 minutes away but as we have discovered we cannot take BF so on CJstar um is there anything na walang sticker required? here here alabang zapote yes so trying to figure it out guys but this one para na sa logobie okay maybe we can actually because it's inside ah okay okay I think I think puede because it's actually inside okay lord okay hello if you're just joining us it's another live drive live delivery I do like to get out and meet the customers but um usually I do it with usually I do it for out of town or others outside of the city nga either north or south but this time medyo na kataw na marami niring basically where I had 3 orders one at basic 2 here sa Las Pinas so I was we always try as much as possible to get the products to the customers as soon as possible so I thought you know it's a holiday why not so the first customer was a 4070ti this second customer was a Z73 NTXT Z73 AIO RGB and then 3 Noctua fans for a new rig and he was also asking like for a CPU he was looking for a particular CPU and I said that once we have info on that we will get in touch with him this would have been an easy delivery or I got turned around a lot dun sa because of the because of the the whole BF thing like the BF homes you gotta you gotta like it's impossible to go through BF homes you have to go elsewhere I mean you have to go around BF homes until we're gonna go back to Alabang Zapote hopefully we should make it to BF this time because we actually have a delivery there or like the the delivery wait pano there's no way around there's no way to skirt it you really have to you really have to go through them so we're back on we're about to hit Alabang Zapote again at BF like god damn fortress police for a holy Thursday like deployed on the road yeah I don't know what it is I thought I thought there would be less traffic I mean this is obviously a lot less or the traffic is much lighter than a normal day but there still is a lot of traffic would have gone home na or gone on vacation or things like that but there's a lot of people and to be fair to the authorities this morning I went to Rizal went to a zoo in Rizal with my family and you can see the MDA officers also on the road early morning we left a bit like we left around 7 so a bit early here also in Las Pinas there does seem to be more police presence and I would have expected alright but it says 10 minutes so where's Alabang oh okay don't pa alright well at least tama naman yung pacing ko so I really thought na so I scheduled so we had the one at Pasig and then I scheduled this one and then kasi inisip ko parang isang ikot Pasig then here and then this last one and then I'll visit my friend in Alabang so it is correct at least tama yung rough impression ko na same one line tila and this one was the first this last delivery we did was the first one in Las Pinas that we should do so very roughly tama naman yung ano ko but I again ran a foul of the BF trap I don't know what it is with BF and another reason why I don't enjoy inner city I even use the I use the term inner city unironically now I mean it does have connotations of like the projects or you know kind of like in need of urban renewal but that's that's kind of metramanila and a nutshell isn't it I mean regardless of where you are Alabang it always feels kind of like inner city because everybody is so cramped everybody is just so in your face I do miss I do miss getting out like like to the mountains or at the beach or something you know where you don't feel so crouched by humanity which is why I like driving sano on holidays where you know it's easy driving it's fun driving but you know inside the city even on a holiday you don't quite know where you're going and BF stretches on like the Great Wall of China and you can't cross it it's not much I mean I'm not I'm not blaming I'm not blaming the customers just more like a sad reflection on where we are with mobility in the city where yeah it's it's like a it's like a puzzle that you're supposed to automatically understand without any context like you go to an area and it's like like the people there should automatically assume that you an outsider know that okay BF ends here and BF starts there and you can't do this and you can't do that so it's a very touch move like what I was saying earlier it's very unforgiving of errors and mistakes so we're going to try to enter BF now but suppose well I don't know if you're going to let us in but maybe they should since the delivery I think is in BF at least as part of the address man look at this cheap me this is cheap me doing I'm I'm biting my lip to avoid saying something because with the recent like the cheap me strike against BUV modernization things like that and I have some I have some thoughts on that but I don't think that's good for public consumption so I will refrain to refrain from saying anything this says BF RV should honor the friendship sticker based on city ordinance ba ba ba what is the friendship sticker and where can I get one BF resort village but at least it looks like yes we can enter it this time because we need to make a delivery I don't know why it has to be so hard like you have layers upon layers gate after gate I mean I don't even spoiler I don't even live in a gate at subdivision although it is a little tricky to do delivery just because one end of the street is blocked off but I mean it shouldn't be it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out I'm just a little annoyed because it took longer than I expected and I I haven't had like I had very light lunch and like I actually want something sweet like I want a dessert I wonder if my friend would treat me hi delivery dito deliver ah deliver ay bahay at ko yung deliver natin dito sir ah jumpo sa 100% natin ay nusunod na boob I have to pay to deliver like you haven't seen me swear yet on camera but I'm super close to swearing like what what is this what what control booth may a second pay on the way out actually you know that's the thing also we're passing through BF now woopie man I really I'm quite annoyed with this with this village like why do you need to pay for it one of the things I like about hardware sugar is na parang damay mga anoyan sis like people have I been here before no no this is another village okay parang there are so many things about living in the Philippines that are just annoying like parang they do it on purpose na like it provides no value for anybody it's like rent seeking behavior whether that's government agencies that require something or or being required to do paper work it really bugs me so one of the things that I specifically did when we put up hardware sugar was just to say let's get rid of all the PS and perfect example is warranty every other box at kaming mga dahilan parang hindi ibigay warin and that's something we don't do receipt if you give us your name and we can look it up and like we know like yes it's confirmed you don't even need the receipt the box the original packaging sorry that's what happens when you um where was the I think we passed it already I was starting to get upset and then we alright hang on guys yeah that's it man that's because there was like a guard and he was like he was like no no this isn't the way it is the way it is the way it is the way it is the way
