No, but after a quick archive search I found it, thanks :D 
thanks Gustav, so to be clear, if I have a record from daylights
savings time, and I query it in NON-Daylights saving time, this code
will keep the record at it's accurate time, meaning

if It was processed in the summer  (GMT-8) at 4pm, and I query the
record in the Winter will the record show up processed at 4pm or 3pm?,
the UTC time stored in the db doesn't change, but when they query it,
will.

Thanks,
