[@meiiibelen]

Your electric bill is sooo cheapppp!!! Sana all! Mine is around 1500 esp magsusummer na. Sobrang init kaya naka-on yung ac pag tanghali. Thou justifiable naman given yung mga ginagamit ko. I’ll absolutely try your recipes! Natakam ako dun sa pasta. 😩

[@lifeofrhae]

That's true, pag nainitan, mag ac na, you'll never know what this weather brings. Also, this is your sign to make pasta haha. Thanks for watching! 😊💗

[@itsmezerry03]

[@lifeofrhae]

Thank you sm po! 💗

[@kimbizzare]

[@lifeofrhae]

Time to make/buy pasta. ☺️

[@jiavlogsph]

Your electric bill is so cheap. Sana all hahha btw, I enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing! ☺️

[@lifeofrhae]

Not until recently nagtaas na si meralco ng per kwh. Haha. Thanks for watching! 💗🥰

[@aeiouwanders5737]

This is a good vlog indeed. Thanks for the Finance category idea. Just wanna ask if the creamy garlic butter chicken will not spoil easily. Speaking as someone who rents a dorm without a refrigerator. Planning to cook it at night sana.

[@lifeofrhae]

I think it can survive 12hrs if at night, I'm assuming na hindi na gaanong mainit yung place. Need lang din po na sealed yung lalagyan. :) Ang na try ko lang kasi ay I cooked sa morning around 10am then reheated it ng mga 5pm. It was still okay kahit hindi ko nilagay sa ref. 😊 Thanks for watching the vid! 💗🥰

[@AnneJamz]

very independent vlog. keep safe

[@lifeofrhae]

Thank you sm! 🥺💗

[@charlesjuson5555]

What camera do you use to capture your videos? Such nice content! Keep us inspired!!

[@lifeofrhae]

Thank you! I am using xiaomi 12 lite phone for filming. :)

[@lifeofrhae]

To those who are asking how my water and electricity are low, please watch the video till the end. 😊 I discussed what appliances I use and such. 😉 If you liked this video, please give it a thumbs up, comment, and share. 💗✨ Don't forget to subscribe!

[@user-jk6bm6mg8n]

Hello po. How to achieve low electric bill? Planning to move out next 2 months. Anong mga appliances ang ginagamit mo? And how often do you use rice cooker and induction cooker?

[@lifeofrhae]

Hello! I explained in the vid po yung mga appliances na ginagamit ko. I'm also not working from home so I don't use my gadgets/tech stuff whole day. 😊

[@sairellehipe5339]

Dang I also want to move out this year 😢.

[@lifeofrhae]

Hope you'll be able to. 💗 keep on.

[@bacs356]

haha we're same naglalagay ng used paper bago ilagay ang gulay

[@lifeofrhae]

Haha para wala pong stain sa lalagyan 😊

[@maureendidal1808]

With refrigerator po? Talking about the electricity bill.

[@lifeofrhae]

Yep with ref na po. If you continue watching, I discussed the gadgets and appliances na meron ako and how long I usually use them. 😊

[@HeyitsmeAngelica]

curious po bat ang mura ng water and electricity nyo. ano ano pong appliances gamit mo

[@lifeofrhae]

Hello. I explained it in the video po. 😊

[@Jerry-td6tw]

Just wanna ask which area in QC you found your apartment? It’s a great deal by the way 😊

[@lifeofrhae]

It's around Katipunan. :)

[@mingzhou2479]

Man, how do you pay less than 1000 in electricity when you have a refrigerator TT, My monthly bill without one is 1500-2000

[@lifeofrhae]

I don't even know! Haha. But recently my bill is going up, I'm going to have an update vlog on my expenses soon. 😊

[@oishiii5340]

I want to try and live alone but my budget is not budgeting 😢

[@lifeofrhae]

I hope you'll get there soon. 🙏

[@minervasobrepena282]

Hi po, ask po ano internet gamit nyo worth 500p and mabilis po ba? Tnk u so much po.

[@lifeofrhae]

PLDT po. Pinaghahatian lang po namin ng other tenants sa building since I know some people who are living here. 😊

Hi are you still using the Xiaomi 12 lite for this vlog?

[@lifeofrhae]

I started using it after the unboxing part in the video. 😊

[@hersheyblutraballo1345]

how come 600 lang bills mo sa water and elect sis? huhu planning to move in manila.

[@lifeofrhae]

I have no aircon and other electric stuff. Just really the essentials for day to day living.

[@athinalazarou8873]

Less than 1k electricity and water wow , internet 500 too how

[@lifeofrhae]

I only have the necessary appliances and don't have a lot of gadgets to charge. I stated in the videos what I use. I also don't stay in the apartment all day. The internet cost is being divided by me and my friends who live in the same building. So it's cheap for us. 😊 Hope this helps.

[@kittylolol439]

Do you live in Katipunan? 🥺 I want to move so badly with that rent. also how big is your place po if you dont mindd?

[@lifeofrhae]

Can't disclose my specific loc, sorry. Tho you will find cheap rentals on fb marketplace and fb rental groups. Just be sure to visit the place and talk to the owner to be safe from scams. I think my place is 13×16 in ft (just an estimate 😅). It already has a kitchen with a spacious counter and cr. 😊

[@kittylolol439]

@@lifeofrhae thank you for taking time to answer! 🥰❤️

[@ArasLibrary-fm1vp]

what are your sources of income?

[@lifeofrhae]

I have a job po. 😊

If I may ask how old are you

I'm in my 20s. :)

[@aki_vlog]

Grabe ang mura lang ng kuryente mo. 😭 Ngayong summer umaabot na sakin 3k plus lmao yaman na naman ni meralco haha 🥲 suggest lang Rae mute mo po yung mga video na naririnig bgm ng song like sa grocery kasi baka macopyright issue ka po if you're planning to monetize your channel kasi sayang. Mafaflag ka kasi dun. Sabi kasi minsan kahit seconds lang yung song nakakareceive sila copyright issue claim. Lagyan mo na lang bgm. 😊 Nice topic sa vlog mo na to. ♥️ Excited ako dun sa phone unboxing. Mi din kasi mga phone ko pagdating sa android. 😊

[@lifeofrhae]

omg thank you sa suggestion! Di ko alam pati pala parang bgm lang sa vid, pwede ma copyright. 🥹 Will make sure to put another bgm on top next time. Btw, thanks for watching, Aki. Waiting sa vlog mo about your hobby. 💗

[@lifeofrhae]

Electric bill is cheap kasi hindi rin ako WFH. I wasn't able to mention that huhu. Kaya mostly naka on ang gamit ko from 3pm onwards na until around 11pm-12am.

[@aki_vlog]

@@lifeofrhae Buti ka pa. Grabe kasi ngayon yung init para kang piniprito sa apartment haha kaya no choice magbukas ng ac. 😭 Mas ok yan mas makakasave ka talaga ng electric bill po. ♥️

[@aki_vlog]

@@lifeofrhae Yes yes kasi minsan diba mahilig tayo kumaen while nanunuod ng vid especially sa yt 😅 sayang kasi.

[@lifeofrhae]

@@aki_vlog Oo nga. Napaisip tuloy ako about monetization haha. Thanks Aki! 💗💗💗
