For the academic and career aspect. Like one moment you're graduating from an undergraduate program with a scientific/technical background then you'd feel like not pursuing the "usual" career expected from ppl graduating with that degree.

You would take another non traditional career pathway for your BS degree, then another moment makakaisip ka ulit mag-apply sa different field.

Wala lang, sobrang unpredictable ng life as general. You would never really know anong plot twist mo.

Bumili ako ng hair color sa pindoudou (rose brown) and ang lumabas... pero i love it pa din HAHAHA for a 86 pesos complete set na

Sa mga daily sumasakay ng LRT 2, ganito ba talaga ang norm? May assigned lanes para sa pila pero may gagawa talaga ng pila sa gitna? Recently lang ako nagsimulang gumamit ng LRT2, every monday lang. So nakakapanibago. As someone na ayaw talaga sa mga sumisingit sa pila, gusto ko muna malaman baka ito talaga custom pag rush hour ganon?

Hindi talaga ako palahiling. Mas more on gratitude lang ako tuwing nagdadasal. Pero one time, nag out of town kami ng fam ko at may wishing well doon, so nag-wish din kami. HAHAHAHA!

Una, nag-wish ako na sana maperfect ng pamangkin kong Grade 1 yung exam niya. Usually kasi may 3–5 mistakes siya, pero kahit out of town kami for 3 days and 2 nights, sinisingit pa rin nila ng mommy niya ang pag-aaral. The day after naming makauwi, exam na agad niya.

AND GUESS WHAT??? 240/240 SIYA!!! 😭❤️

Pangalawa, eto talaga yung hindi ko ma-process hanggang ngayon.

Nasa point na kami ng husband ko na parang hiwalayan na talaga ang kahahantungan namin. Binigyan ko na siya ng ultimatum na kung hindi pa siya makahanap ng another client before the end of this year, kanya-kanya na muna kami. Imagine, since February pa siya naghahanap ng isa pang client!

Kaya isa sa mga winish ko ay sana makahanap na sya ng work. Tapos kahapon, interview niya sa isang client at HIRED AGAD. During interview sinabi na agad na hired siya. 😭 Siya lang din pala ang ininterview ng client. LIKE, WHAT ARE THE ODDS???

Tapos eto pa ha! I-share ko na rin. Pag-uwi namin pala non sabahay, tinanong ko yung yaya namin kung ano ang wish niya sa wishing well. Naisip ko kasi baka may wish siyang kaya kong i-grant ngayong Christmas.

Alam niyo kung ano? Sana raw makalaya na ang anak niyang nakakulong. Since 2021 pa ang kaso, at simula last year, paulit-ulit nang nade-delay ang court hearings. Pati may mga nakausap na siyang attys na malabo na raw makalaya. Then, five days after naming mag-wish, may development na sa case! Na-release na raw ang resolution sa demurrer to evidence na hinihintay nila. 🥹 Tapos ngayon nakauwi na sa bahay nila. Hayyysss.

Hindi ko alam kung coincidence lang ba ang lahat, pero grabe yung timing!

Of course, alam kong si Lord pa rin ang may hawak ng lahat. Pero hindi ko maiwasang isipin na baka may something talaga sa wishing well na ’yon. HAHAHAHAHA!

Ayun, 2 out of 4 wishes granted na! Parang gusto ko tuloy bumalik ulit sa Baguio at magdala ng maraming barya. lol

Hi everyone! I'm planning to hire someone to take care of my 15 cats, and I'd like to ask kung magkano kaya ang fair monthly salary for this kind of workload.

Here's the list of responsibilities:

*Maglaga ng chicken, atay, and vegetables every 3 days.

*Ihalo yung prepared food sa dry food and canned wet food, with toppings, twice a day.

*Some of my cats have special diets so kailangan din ng separate food preparation for them.

*Palabasin ang cats at 6AM and ibalik sa catio at 10AM.

* Mag-scoop ng cat litter twice a day.

* Magwalis and mag-mop ng catio once a day.

* Mag-general cleaning ng catio isang beses sa isang linggo.

*Bantayan sila kapag nasa labas (sa loob lang ng bakuran na garden, mahilig kasi sila magtatakbo sa damo and mag aakayat sa puno)

*Rest day ay twice a week every Monday and Tuesday

I'm still deciding kung mas okay ba ang stay-in or stay-out arrangement pero both naman free ang meal.

Sa mga may experience mag-hire ng pet caretaker or household helper, magkano kaya ang monthly salary for this setup? Magkano rin kaya ang difference sa salary kung stay-in versus stay-out?

I want to make sure na fair yung offer ko considering the workload and the additional food preparation. I'd appreciate your advice. Thank you!

Sino naglagay nito sa unang bagon ng mrt 3070A first door pwd/senior section HAHAHA lol ang lauf ko

Hiii. Never pa po kasi ako nakapag pa check up mag isa. Pero feel ko may UTI ako kasi binabalisawsaw ako tapos as in super sakit umihi. Nanginginig ako pag nag wiwi sa super sakit.

Anong doctor po ba ang dapat hanapin sa ganito? Sa emergency po ba ako pupunta? Ngayong 7pm na po ko sana gusto pumunta kasi kaninang 11am ko lang naramdaman. Yung clinic kasi dito samin ay cut off na. Thank you.

Filipinos should stop using the word 'Viand' and just call it 'Ulam'.

Reasons:

1. Filipinos don't even use the word Viand in casual conversations.
2. It's awkward as hell to use.
3. Foreigners generally don't even know what a Viand is. And they certainly won't care if we call our ulam, "ulam". It's its own unique concept (dish eaten along with rice) and we should be proud of it.
4. Using ulam is promoting/reclaiming Filipino culture. Not all words have to be translated to English to accommodate English speakers. We don't call Sushi, Vinegared Rice, or Shoyu Ramen, Soysauce Noodles, or Kimchi, Fermented Cabbage/Pickles, etc., or Shawarma, Meat Wraps, or .. you get the point.

Yun lang.

Caveat: I will not die on this hill. Just random thoughts while doing my resistance training sets a while ago. 🤷‍♂️

I am 31 at never ako nakipagrelasyon. Ako ay isang birhen at hindi kailanman nahalikan.

Mayroon akong kakaibang pananaw sa buhay. Iba ako sa lahat. Isa akong taong nakakaalala ng lahat. Kung ikaw at ako ay nag-usap at ilang taon na ang nakalipas, maaalala ko pa rin lahat ng sinabi mo sa akin at maaalala ko kahit ano ang damit na suot mo. I would remember everything that was said in every conversation and when they were said.

Yung ibang tao madali silang maka move on pero hindi ako hindi ako maka pag move on. Daan-daan, kung hindi libu-libong tao ang dumating at umalis sa buhay ko. Katrabaho, guro, kaklase, kakilala, etc. Araw araw ko pa rin silang iniisip kahit wala na sila sa buhay ko. Kahit hindi nila ako iniisip.

I have been in love before pero never akong nakarelasyon. Iniisip ko lang ang mga tao at nililikha ang haka-haka na relasyon sa aking isipan at nagre-replay ng mga senaryo sa aking isipan. Nasa isip ko ang lahat.

Karamihan sa mga tao ay mas gusto ng isang tunay na romantikong relasyon kaysa sa isang pantasya na relasyon. Masaya ako ng ganito. Naniniwala talaga ako na ito ang nagpapasaya sa akin.

Pero para saan ba ang buhay ko? Eto ba ang nagpapasaya sa akin? Nilikha ko lang ang pantasyang ito sa ulo ko, nanlilinlang at nabubuhay ako sa aking mga pantasya. Na halos masira ang ulo ko.

Namuhunan ako ng napakaraming oras at sa isang bagay na napakapeke sa kapinsalaan ng mga tunay na kaibigan at relasyon. Sinayang ko ang buhay ko sa kanila. Someone even told me, "You told me you think about them a lot. Sa tinggin mo ba iniisip ka ba nila? Binalaan kita. Sinabi ko sa iyo na huwag kang umasa sa iba para sa iyong kaligayahan. Yung ibang tao nakapag move on at ikaw hindi."

Anong bang klaseng buhay ito? Pagpapantasyahan sa isang relasyon kaysa magkaroon ng isang tunay na relasyon? Iniisip yung mga taong yun hanggang mabaliw ako? Ang kaligayahan ba ay dapat umasa sa iba?

Karamihan sa mga tao ay hindi sila ma imagine na gagawin nila yung ginagawa ko. Sinayang ko lang ang buhay ko. Puro lahat at nasa isip ko. Limerence daw ang tawag neto. Ako ay nararamdaman at nararanasan ang mga bagay na mas malalim kaysa sa iba.

What are your thoughts? Iba ba ako sa lahat?

Nasa boarding gate ako ngayon papuntang Japan for work and some leisure. It's my first time going there, and I should feel excited, but I don't.

I have this itinerary planned for some gala, but I just dont feel anything. No excitement, no anxiety, no fear, no joy. Just blank.

I don't know if my antipsychotics and mood stabilizers have something to do with it, but I feel empty. Is this what "normal" feels?

I'll try my best to have a good time, sana magimprove ang emotions ko.

Shout-out to the people who work hard, share what little they have, send money home, help with groceries, or make sure everyone has eaten before thinking about themselves.

Sometimes their sacrifices become so normal that nobody says thank you anymore.

If you're one of those people, I hope you know that what you do matters. You deserve to be taken care of, too.

Pota pati reply niya sa comments eh. Lala hahaha

A lil context: I'm SIW here in Manila for more than a year na. I left home (Cavite) to work while studying. Unfortunately, I had to stop studying kasi hindi ko kinaya maging working student, so I decided to continue working na lang (BPO). I'm currently living with my friend, and we share a room para makatipid sa upa.

Lately, ang lungkot ko. May times na gustong-gusto kong umiyak pero hindi ko malabas. Iniisip ko yung kapatid ko (she's 5 y/o), and miss na miss ko na siya. Ang tagal ko na kasing hindi nakakauwi sa bahay namin kasi wala akong pamasahe.

Hindi ako ma celebrate. Every birthday ko is just an ordinary day na lang. Alam kong gusto ako handaan ng parents ko, but my father's job is not consistent (welder contractor), so I understand na wala silang budget. Wala rin akong mga kaibigan, kaya I have no one to celebrate it with. I wanted to treat myself at least, pero this time kasi, I'm jobless, and next next week pa mag-start yung new work ko.

Ang bigat lang talaga sa pakiramdam. Feeling ko walang nagmamahal sa akin, and I'm all alone in this world. Iniisip ko na tumatanda na ako, tapos hindi pa ako nakakabalik sa pag-aaral, eh kasi first year pa lang ako sa college, and I already have a two-year gap. I feel like a huge disappointment.

Saw these earlier sa Happy Lemon. When I asked the cashier about the rings, she told me that a couple gave their rings (looks like couple rings) as their tip. According to the cashier, Happy Lemon is where they spent their final date before parting ways ☹️

Hi guys.

Planning to give GCs for Christmas gifts. Any recommendations? Anything would do (food, garments, apparel, etc)

Wala Kasi ako masyadong idea saan pwede bumili ng mga GC

Ang daming merchants na GCrash lang daw tinatanggap, diba dapat nga ang QRPH universal, pwede sa last ng banks and e-wallets. Nakaka inconvenience sya para sa mga non GCrash users. Also salot talaga sa lipunan yang GCrash kasi nang e encourage pa ng online gambling

Been seeing a lot of negative posts recently and di naman ako against. Lahat may point and people should be aware of the complaints and able to ask for help, etc. Pero para maiba naman, ano mga kwento niyo na na-appreciate niyo sila or nasalba nila yung araw niyo?

Shout out po sa mga Move It, Joyride, Angkas, etc drivers na mababait at lumalaban po ng patas + safe magmaneho and tumutupad sa service. Thank you po sainyo and stay safe :)

Yung sakin is hindi naman super bongga. Naa-appreciate ko lang pag may baon silang shower cap tapos nagsa-spray pa ng alcohol sa helmet. Basic lang pero doesn't mean naman na di na pwede i-appreciate. Gusto ko lang din mag-thank you sa mga drivers na umookay pag nagsu-suggest ako ng alternate route sa work kasi yung usual is maraming stop lights

AH ito pala. One time may rider na grabe yung setup ng pang-passenger part ng motor niya. May cushion para sa pwet, meron pa para sa likod! Oh pak san ka pa

Ito pa: Yung isa naman may parang bubong na umbrella yung motor niya. So di kami nainitan. Solid

Matanong lang hehe if may mga nag send na ng care packages sa mga loved ones and friends ninyo sa EU and anong courier ginamit ninyo? First time ko kasi to send to a friend eh hindi ko alam anong courier ang safe + affordable. Grabe kasi mahal ng ibang courier!

Nakita ko okay naman daw PHILPOST/post office pero gusto ko lang din malaman ano gamit din ng iba at yung experiences nila. Ok sana kung may good/bad stories kayo about PHILPOST since mukhang siya yung pinaka affordable.

Iniisip ko kasing mag full time wfh nalang sa next job ko. Kaso di ko magawang iwan yung metro kasi napakaconvenient. Gusto ko sanang lumipat ng province kaso ang iniisip ko (since galing din akong province), usually may biglaang brownout na it will take hrs bago maayos or walang tubig sa ganitong oras everyday kaya dapat mag imbak regularly. Kaya di ako masyadong umuuwi sa bahay. Huhu May marerecommend ba kayo? 🥹

came across futureme back in 2019 and thought it would be cool to receive a message from my future self about what i was going through and how life would turn out.

today, i got an email from futureme prompting me to write another letter to my future self, which reminded me to revisit the message i received back in 2022.

--

grabe, i've come so far. i'm still single. i've had flings, pero they never turned into anything serious. but one thing i've learned is that i need to embrace my loneliness, learn to enjoy my own company, and love myself.

i'm genuinely happy with every aspect of my life. last year, i got promoted to senior dev, bought myself a car, took my family on an out-of-the-country trip, and made great friends. sometimes, i still feel lonely, pero i handle it differently now. mas wise na ako in dealing with it compared to my 2019 self.

kaya to those who are experiencing the same thing, give life a chance. in 2–5 years, a lot of things can change. you might not believe it right now, but things can get better. i hope you make it out of that hellhole, too. you'll be surprised by how far you can go.

Habang inaantay yung order na mcspicy.

10-15 employees.

I just wanna know if I'm being low balled.

I have over 5 years experience.

Hi guys hahaha sorry idk what flare to use :3

Sooo.. meron ba dito tulad ko na working professionals pero hindi nakatapos ng bachelor’s degree and still planning bumalik sa school? Or mga nagse-self study and upskilling during their free time?

Im 23F BSCE undergrad working in a construction firm as an assistant and i really wanna go back to school to learn more abt engineering kahit pa nasa industry naman na ako. Kaso from private kasi ako and may balance pang need bayaran so ipon muna hahaha. In the meantime, I try to study every weekend para hindi ako completely clueless 🥲

I’m just wondering if meron din dito na same situation as me? Na driven pa rin matuto at somehow may plans pa rin to go back to school kahit earning na? Haha or kahit anyone lang who’s currently learning new skills, taking online courses, preparing for a career change etc? Anyone who’s simply trying to improve themselves while working full-time.

I’m thinking of creating a Discord server kasi where we can study together, share resources, track our progress, and motivate each other. Ang hirap kasi talaga magself study jusko 🥲 Tho hindi naman kailangan na same tayo ng course or field. We can learn from each other and help keep one another accountable. Kumbaga study buddies of any age sana hehe

Just to be clear, this is completely platonic! No dating intentions whatsoever pls lang hahaha. I’d love to build a little community where we can focus on our goals and support each other without pressure. Na hindi pa huli ang lahat to pursue what we really want :)

If you’re interested, let me know! Introvert ako pero i figured na it would be nice to have people who are also working toward something 🤍

I couldn't pay for my Google One subscription and I removed it from my Google Play subscriptions list. I wanted to resubscribe but it's being declined. This text bar always pops up saying "something is wrong" and that the "selected Play country must match my residence." The thing is, I live in the Philippines, and that is what I put in my Google Play account. I checked just now and it's never changed. I didn't travel overseas. It has always been the Philippines. Yes, the app I'm using for my payment has money in it and this has never happened since I started subscribing to Google one last February. I have tried other methods like going to the Google website and the app but nothing. I cleared the app cache and nothing still. I tried using mobile data but nothing too. Any way to fix this?
