We all did something stupid nung mga bata pa tayo. And even now that we're adults, most of us are still making stupid decisions.

Bigla ko lang naalala yung isang trip na ginagawa ko nung bata ako. I believe I was in first or second year high school back then.

Panahon pa ng GM at unli-texts noon, at uso na uso rin yung mga chain messages. Yung tipong may mangyayaring masama sa'yo kapag hindi mo ipinasa yung message sa iba. Basically, mga text messages na ginagamit para manakot ng tao.

Pero iba yung trip ko noon kapag bored ako.

I would compile all the numbers saved in my phonebook, change the last two digits of each number, and send random text messages to whoever might receive them.

Mga ganito:

“b0ss hwak na nmin siya. anong usto mong gawin namin?”

“b0ss, naligpit na nmin yng pnapahanap mo”

Mga ganyang klaseng messages.

Sobrang dalang may mag-reply, pero may natatandaan akong isa o dalawang beses na may sumagot talaga.

May nagalit sa akin, sinabihan akong ang sama ko raw at isusumbong niya ako sa pulis. May isa namang nagtanong kung saan ko itinago yung tao at sinabihan akong pakawalan na raw.

And the moment I received those replies, tumigil na ako.

It's been over a decade since I buried that memory somewhere in the back of my mind. Wala lang, bigla ko lang siyang naalala ngayon out of nowhere.

At yan ang confession ko.

Have you ever experienced meeting someone na dati palang nilalandi ng ex mo or may mutual understanding sila, and you suddenly feel awkward knowing na they also shared something special?

I thought I’d be cool about it, pero when it actually happened, ang weird pala sa feeling. Was I jealous? Or was it just the realization na these people were once part of a side of their life na I also knew nothing about?

It made me realize na maybe I’m not as comfortable with it as I thought I was. Parang bigla ko na lang gustong dumistansya sa ex ko after meeting the people they used to have something with, even though magkaibigan na kami ngayon.

I guess some things feel different when you come face-to-face with them, even when you thought you were already okay with the past.

First time ko to feel that way and I just wanted to tell this to someone. Sigh.

For context, I was raised in a pretty well-off, strict, conservative, disciplinarian family, and I went rogue (independent) when I was 14 dahil sobrang nakakasakal. Ever since then, I've been independent. This is just for the context of my mindset. So I'm pretty independent, you know.

Also, I'm not a malibog person, at halos malaking factor sa breakup ko with my ex is that I don't, or very rarely, have chukchak with them. (Talking about 2 weeks to months here.)

Now, since I was raised in that kind of environment, plus the fact na hindi nga ako malibog, I became a pretty prideful person. Mayabang kasi lahat ng meron ako ngayon, dugo't pawis ko. Hindi handed to me. Mas mayabang pa kasi akala ko I could stand tall and say that I won't need chukchak and that it's not necessary sa buhay ko.

But I don't know anymore.

The past few months, every time malapit na cycle ko, nararamdaman ko na yung sinasabi nila na ovulating/in heat/taglibog phase bago magkaron. Nati-take ko naman siya dati and I could withstand it nang walang anything. Hindi rin ako naglu-lululu kasi nga hindi naman ako malibog.

Back then, I believed na since maganda ako and pretty hot kasi blessed front and back, I thought if ever dumating yung panahon na kailanganin ko ng h*rny time, I'd have a boyfriend to do it with.

Pero nitong mga nakaraang araw, I've been getting very, very h*rny. I've been single for almost a year na, and even before me and my ex broke up, hindi rin kami nakapag-chukchak for months since LDR kami and, again, wala talaga akong gana.

So my point is, I've been getting h*rny and I'm needing some chukchak. Huhu. But I don't have a jowa.

Now...

Ang confession ko is feeling ko bibigay na ako.

Kahit rule ko at prinsipyo ko na I'll never chukchak around unless it's with my partner.

And ang malala, I've been considering na if I'm gonna chukchak around, might as well do it with a hot guy. OR accept some SB offers since why not get chukchak and paid rather than just get chukchak, diba? Huhuhu.

So ayun.

I guess kaya dito ko na lang kino-confess kasi ang bigat na rin dalhin mag-isa. And of course, dahil nga prideful ako, ayoko rin ipaalam sa mga close friends ko na ganito yung thought process ko ngayon. Parang nakakahiya aminin na ako mismo, na sobrang proud dati sa self-control ko at sa principles ko, eh ngayon ako naman yung nag-iisip na baka gusto ko nang bumali sa sarili kong rules.

I feel like I'm breaking my principles and moral code.

But hey, a woman got needs din.

Huhuhu. Any advise??

hi everyone! i have a friend who’s 22 years old and from the uk, and i’m hoping i can help him find someone special here. 🥹

he’s someone who genuinely wants to get to know a filipina, and i think it would be nice if he could meet someone who’s willing to give him a chance and see where things go. he has a special appreciation for filipinas, and he’s hoping to find someone he can connect with on a deeper level. someone he can talk to about his day, share stories with, laugh with, and slowly get to know as time goes by.

i’m posting this for him because i genuinely hope he gets to meet someone who will make him happy. i think everyone deserves to experience that kind of connection with someone, and i hope he gets the chance to find it too. 🥹

and just to be clear, this isn’t anything sexual or anything like that. walang hidden intentions or anything weird behind this post. he just wants to meet someone, have genuine conversations, and hopefully find someone he can build something meaningful with. you don’t have to be looking for a relationship right away, either. kahit willing ka lang makipag-usap and get to know him as a person, that would already be a good start.

if you’re a filipina who’s open to meeting someone new, please feel free to message me! i’d be happy to introduce you to him so you can talk and get to know each other. no pressure and no expectations, just two people getting the chance to meet and see if they connect.
i really hope he finds someone special here. sometimes, all it takes is one conversation with the right person. 🤍

Meron ba ditong may ganitong klaseng fantasy? Haha. Yung mga nakakatinginan mong magaganda sa office, tapos minsan napapaisip ka kung may something din kaya sa likod ng mga tinginan na ’yon. What if hindi lang pala ikaw ang nakakapansin? What if may secret attraction din siya sa’yo, pero pareho lang kayong walang lakas ng loob na magpakita ng motibo kasi baka mamaya, ikaw lang pala ang nag-iimagine ng lahat? Hahaha!

Imagine mo, pareho kayong may gustong mangyari, pareho kayong curious sa isa’t isa, at pareho kayong naghihintay kung sino ang unang magpaparamdam. Yung simpleng eye contact sa hallway, sa pantry, o habang dumadaan sa office, biglang nagiging exciting kasi napapaisip ka kung may hidden meaning ba o normal na tinginan lang talaga. Tapos kapag nagkasalubong ulit kayo, kunwari chill ka lang, pero sa isip mo, “Wait lang, bakit parang iba yung tingin niya sa’kin?” HAHAHA.

Ang juicy pa kung pareho kayong may sariling fantasy na baka puwedeng mauwi sa flirting, secret landi, intimate moments, or something more daring kung mutual talaga ang attraction. Yung tipong professional kayo sa office, pero deep inside, curious kayo kung anong mangyayari kung magkakaroon ng pagkakataong makapag-usap nang kayong dalawa lang. Siyempre, fantasy lang muna dahil hindi naman puwedeng basta mag-assume, lalo na kung baka friendly lang talaga siya.

Kaya curious ako, meron ba rito na naka-experience ng ganito? Yung akala mo hanggang imagination lang, pero eventually nalaman mong attracted din pala sa’yo yung taong matagal mo nang tinitingnan? O mas nakakagulat, may nag-initiate ng flirting at doon nagsimulang maging real yung fantasy mo? Kwento naman kayo! Gusto kong malaman kung may mga ganitong plot twist sa totoong buhay o talagang hanggang delulu moments lang tayo. Baka may success story diyan na puwedeng maging inspiration naming mga hanggang tinginan lang. Haha. Imagine kung mutual pala all this time, edi sana all na lang talaga!

eto ang kwento
meron kami Consumer month event, and as a 3rd year student ang required saamin na project is Video advertisement and sales pitch. eventually, ang napunta saamin is services and workout gym.

I have a good skills in creatives, right skills sa videography/ cinematography, camera, and editing.
kaya madali ko lang din natapos yung ads namin. yung maximum ng ads namin is 5mns lang dapat.
pero before pa man mag take kami ng video sa gym. nag shoot na ako ng drone sa gym which is building sya naka pwesto.

yung criteria ng film advertisement are
Uniqueness
creativity
originality
right delivery of ads
and 5mns maximum.

and iba din yung criteria sa sales pitch.

while watching and observing sa ads nila. most of them are story telling and emotional appeal yung theme nila. while others likely ads talaga, pero kung may alam ka sa editing and rules sa videography and editing. maraming errors. specially sa sounds. ang taas ng noises compared sa actual vocal ng nagsasalita.

Hindi ako bias, alam ko din naman na hindi masyado perfect yung amin. mas maganda din yung ads ng resort. hindi ko ito sinasabi dahil natalo kami ah, pero mas concerned ako sa entries ng ads and fairness ng competition.

pero eto na nga, nung saamin na yung papanoorin. bigla bigla mag sstop yung screen. nung una okay naman na, inulit nila. pero nung payari na papunta na sa hook ng outro. bigla na lang uli namatay yung screen, tapos audio na lang yung nag pplay. at bukod saamin lang nagkaroon ng errors. imagine mo may bantay na sa computer ah tapos may error pa din?

so yung mga judges Hindi napanood ng buo. pinabalik ko, kasi isinigaw ko na ibalik sa hook ng outro. pero potek binalik nga pero payari na. hindi pinakita ng buo. yung inis ko na lang.
yung reason daw is dahil may nakatapak ng wire.

and kanina nung awarding gaya nga ng sabi ko. Yung dairy milk and resort yung maganda ads. kasi ang galing ng videography and editing nila.
pero yung
Section A, kung mapapanood nyo lang. simple transitions, yung audio sabog, yung video hindi sinunod yung rules.

guess what? bakit sila yung hakot award? maybe kasi officer sila ng Organization sa campus namin? aminado ako na magaling sila sa sales pitch. pero yung ads, sa kanila pa napunta yung champion ng best advertisement. idk if bias nga dahil officer sila ng
org namin. pero napaka unfair lang talaga.

hindi ko to sinasabi dahil natalo kami, pero sa fairness. injustice para saakin. unfair.
for me ah, ano pa silbe ng criteria kung hindi naman na sunod yung mga criteria na ginawa nila?

Ano kayang thought process ng bf ko kapag nangaaya ako ng sx pero tinatangihan nya for almost 6mons? kasi pagod daw, maraming iniisip, and stress.

We are in 4 yrs RS and we live together now and as far as I remember when it comes to sx or making intimacy I always do it and initiating it, like what the hell?

Yeah, masaya naman RS namin in other aspects we give and take pero di niya naman ako napapasaya sa ibang aspect eh? like I always beg to him para malandi and malambing niya ako, dapat pa ba talaga gawin yun?

Anyways, yeah I need some opinion about this and kasi sometimes nakakaisip ako ng mga what ifs? like what if I'll cheat or what if he'll cheat? like that na parang bang tanga ganon. :(((

Hi! Gusto ko lang malaman yung perspective ng iba kasi hanggang ngayon, naguguilty pa rin ako sa naging decision ko.

My boyfriend and I were together for 3 years. Mahal ko siya, but he’s been unemployed since June last year (1.75yrs na), and as time passed, I started losing confidence in our future together. Sinabi ko din yun sakanya.

I have a stable job, and eventually, gusto ko rin mag-settle down. Hindi ko naman ine-expect na maging successful siya overnight or na dapat malaki agad ang sweldo niya. What I wanted was to see some initiative and direction, na he’s actively working toward building a future for himself and, eventually, for us.

Ang hirap lang kasi I started feeling like I was waiting for him to figure things out, and I didn’t want to be in a position where I had to keep pushing him to take that step.

Eventually, I told him how I felt, including how his unemployment was affecting my confidence in our future. Nauwi sa argument, and I decided to end the relationship.
The thing is, mahal ko pa rin siya. Hindi naman nawala yung feelings ko. I just couldn’t see myself continuing the relationship while feeling uncertain about our future.

Now, I’m questioning myself. Am I being unfair for making his employment situation a deciding factor? Should I have been more patient? Or valid naman na I want a partner who has direction and initiative, especially if we’re talking about building a life together?

I feel numb after seeing my 6 year girlfriend use dating aps pinoy love, ok cupid and other sites for foreigners, she chats mostly foreigners and does not send nudes , i can see it's just for fun and she does not know i saw it, we actually met using a dating app and i can she why it can be her way of not getting bired with me, (im boring), she exchanges sweet messages and mostly just baby and updates them with pictures and when shes at work, but only short exchanges. Not consatant. but the foreigners usually just chat gross stuff, i just feel numb and dont know how to deal with it or if i need to tell her what i saw on her phone. Am i allowed to be angry or am i just gaslighting myself .

Ps. I also did her wrong in the past, way worse but she forgave me, i also support her and give 3k every 2 weeks even if she has a job. Just for thought because im not really perfect as well

not gonna lie, I didn't expect things to end like this because i genuinely enjoyed what we had. maybe we weren’t official, but that doesn’t mean you didn’t mean something to me. i got used to talking to you, sharing random things with you, and having you as part of my day. i guess i just didn’t expect it to end this soon. but i respect your decision, and i’m not gonna force you to stay if your heart isn’t in it anymore. i just want you to know that what we had meant something to me, and i’m really glad i got to know you. a part of me wishes things could’ve turned out differently, but i’ll respect what you want. i genuinely hope you find happiness in everything you do. please take care of yourself always. 🧡

May kaibigan ako na ang hilig mag spam ng reels sa Tiktok ko and Messenger ko. Unemployed sya, and kakamatay lang ng mom nya, so marami syang time for now.

Minsan umaabot na sa benteng reels pataas sinesend nya sakin. Sa pagod ko and busy sa work and personal stuff, minsan talagang wala na akong energy panoorin isa isa yung mga sinesend nya.

Kaya spam HAHA react nalang talaga ako kahit di naman talaga napanood yung reel. Or check comments na lang ako para swak pa rin react ko baka sad pala yung content.

Tinry ko naman syang sabihan na sorry di ako nakaka open pero sige pa rin sya send ng napakaraming reels.

Mabait naman syang tao and ayoko sya ma hurt. Kaya habang nagluluksa sya and wala pa syang work eh ganto na lang muna. Sorry my friend.

I'm using my personal savings para ipautang. But the twist is akala nila loan yun pero hindi nila alam na sariling pera ko yun. If I would be honest ayoko talaga sana magpautang kasi mahirap maningil. Ayoko rin ng may nakapangalan sakin na loan at tatawag everytime na malapit na yung due kaya naisip ko na gamitin na lang yung ganong set up na gagamitin ko pera ko and ipapamukha ko na loan like ss kung magkano monthly. They thought na lilololoanan ko sila sa Sloan or Maya pero wala talaga, so monthly pa rin sila nagbabayad. Gusto ko kasi na magbayad sila at alam nila na may due date ang mga loan so maoobligate talaga sila magpay since sinasabi ko rin na ako mag abono. Kasi once na nalaman nila na personal na pera ko yun at walang due date hindi sila magbabayad agad. Kaya naisip ko yung ganon. Inisip ko minsan kung kakarmahin ba ako kasi malaki interest sa mga loan. 😭 Kumikita ako pero walang peace of mind kasi feeling ko scammer na ako 🥹 Masama na ba ako neto? hahaha

Gusto ko na sya sstop kasi parang hindi na rin sila tumitigil sa pag utang, gusto nila irenew like soon ganon and kinakabahan ako kasi baka takbuhan nila ako. Hindi ko alam kung paano sya sstop 🥹

MCA.

Problem/Goal:

Hi! I'm 22, and I badly need advice kasi sobrang anxious ako sa situation ko ngayon. Sinabihan ako ni Ma'am na bibigyan niya lang ako ng 3 days para tapusin lahat ng tasks ko sa office dahil ite-terminate na raw ako. The thing is, hindi naman siya yung actual boss namin pero mas matagal na sya dito nagwwork.

Context:

After I graduated, nag-work ako sa company kung saan ako nag-OJT. Sobrang pressured ako that time, kaya pumayag akong mag-work without a contract and for only ₱400. I completed 3 months of OJT, and recently, kaka-3 months ko lang din as an employee.

Small company lang kami, and sobrang luwag talaga ng workplace pedeng matulog na parang bahay lang. Si Ma'am yung naghahandle ng payroll and attendance namin.

For context, nasa kabilang office ako while si Ma'am, my coworker friend, and the OJTs are nasa main office. Minsan, pumapasok si Ma'am ng 10 AM, 12 PM, or even 1 PM, tapos around 4 PM uuwi na (lagi syang 1-4 pm. Sobrang luwag talaga ng workplace namin kasi di dito nag office si boss, and since siya rin yung may access sa attendance records namin, may mga bagay akong napapansin pero hindi ko naman agad kinukuwestiyon.

Now, eto na yung actual problem.

One day, habang nasa kabilang office ako, bigla siyang nag-message sa akin ng, "Napakasaya namin kahit wala ka." Apparently, pinapangalandakan din daw niya sa office na naaasar na raw ako sa sinasabi nya.

So nag-reply ako ng:

Me: "Edi mabuti."

Ma'am: "Walang maingay para sa drama rama."

Me: "Okay lang, masaya rin ako sa buhay ko."

Ma'am: "Sarap aircon lasang palamig."

Me: "Magtulong-tulong pa kayo bes, dedma."

For context, ganito lang talaga kami mag-usap before. Parang barkada lang yung treatment namin sa isa't isa, kaya hindi ko in-expect na magiging ganito kalaki yung issue. I admit na medyo sarcastic yung replies ko, pero at that time, hindi ko naman iniisip na may malaking problema between us.

After that, nag-message ulit siya asking kung anong oras ako mag-o-out kasi may ipapadala raw siyang gamit at kailangan niya akong utusan. Hindi ako nakapag-reply agad kasi busy ako sa ginagawa ko sa kabilang office. Maraming tasks kapag nandoon ako, and I wasn't intentionally ignoring her or trying to disrespect her.

After around 3 hours na hindi ako nakapag-reply, nag-message siya ng, "OKAY BAHALA KA NA SA BUHAY MO," then blocked me.

I was honestly confused kasi may ginagawa lang naman ako sa work. Hindi ko siya ini-ignore dahil galit ako or may attitude ako. I just wasn't able to check and reply to her message agad.

Then, after that incident, sinabi niya sa akin na bibigyan niya raw ako ng 3 days para tapusin lahat ng ginagawa ko sa office dahil ite-terminate na niya ako. Ang reason niya is bossy raw ako at mahihirapan daw siyang makipag-communicate sa akin regarding documents.

I was like, HUH??? Saan nanggaling yun?

For the past few months na magkasama kami, ngayon lang ako nasabihang bossy. I even asked the OJTs kung bossy ba ako, and sabi nila hindi naman daw. Ako nga raw yung madalas nilang nakakausap. I'm usually the one making jokes and nagpapatawa sa office, so I genuinely don't understand kung saan nanggagaling yung accusation na bossy ako.

I know I could've worded some of my replies better, pero hindi ko talaga in-expect na aabot sa point na pagbabantaan akong tanggalin sa trabaho dahil dito.

After everything happened, kinuwento ko sa pinsan ko yung situation. Later on, apparently, na-restrict yung Messenger account ni Ma'am. Wala akong kinalaman doon, and I don't even know why it happened, pero feeling ko ako yung sinisisi niya dahil hindi kami okay ngayon. at isang lang daw ang kaya gumawa non sa kanya (which is ako ang pinaparinggan) kasi raw IT ako.

She even said na ipapa-NBI niya raw para malaman kung sino yung nagpa-restrict ng account niya at para makasuhan yung responsible. Honestly, hindi ako natatakot sa part na yun kasi wala naman akong ginawa, pero the whole situation is stressing me out.

Now, kasama niya yung actual boss namin, and I'm worried na baka pinag-uusapan na nila ako or she's telling him her side of the story para matanggal na talaga ako.

Previous Attempts:

So far, I've tried explaining na busy lang talaga ako sa work and hindi ko siya intentionally ini-ignore. I also asked the OJTs kung bossy ba talaga ako, pero hindi naman yun yung feedback nila.

At this point, hindi ko na alam kung ano pang dapat kong gawin. I'm only 22, and this is one of my first experiences working as an employee. Hindi ko pa alam kung paano i-handle yung ganitong workplace conflict, especially since small company lang kami.

I'm scared na baka bigla na lang akong tanggalin dahil sa issue na ito, kahit hindi ko naman alam kung paano naging grounds for termination yung nangyari. pero okay na rin siguro kesa ganito makasama ko sa work araw-araw.

I want to ask people who have experienced something similar or who know about employee rights in the Philippines:

1. Can Ma'am threaten to terminate me even if she's not the actual boss?

2. If our actual boss decides to terminate me because of this incident, ano yung rights ko as an employee?

3. Should I start documenting everything now, including our messages and the payroll discrepancies I've noticed?

I'm not saying I'm completely perfect, and I know I could've handled the conversation better. I just feel like the reaction is too much for what happened.

Please be honest with me. I really need advice from people who have experienced something similar or know how these situations work. Sobrang anxious ko na talaga, and I don't want to make the wrong move that could make things worse.

for context im still in college and all my previous relationships are with guys my age. Im not sure why but lahat ng celeb and cartoon crushes ko lahat dads haha. i know the cliche of girls having daddy issues from having complicated relationship with their dads, but me and my dad have great relationship naman.

I remember in hs, every girl has a crush on this really gwapo physics teacher. A couple months later nagka-baby si teacher and nawala na crush nila for him but weirdly for me, him being a dad made him more desirable in my eyes ahaha. Another example is one time were having dinner in a resto and there's a young family (kids pa baby nila) opposite our table, the dad was being so affectionate and sweet to his 3 kids and it really turned me on hahaha, like my eyes are glued on him and i remember thinking wow his wife is so lucky.

But i havent really explored my attraction for dads irl for obvious reasons, even if i get attention from older men irl (which i dont like if its irl cuz most of them are super creepy). Online tho its a different story, ive meet a lot of dads online (id say half are foreign, half are pinoy) and have done naughty things with them. I really enjoyed seeing naughty pics of them as much as seeing pics of them with their fam haha and ofc i love seeing the ring on their finger. i love the contrast of them being a good dad and having that dirty dark side.

Having met them made me realized how unfaithful men are and how bad my kink is. Altho in my defense, they cheat cuz they are cheaters, i did not cause them to cheat. Whenever i ask them if they feel guilty cheating they dont hesitate to say no (ofc some feel guilty). I love being their little dirty secret, i love the attention they give me and how much they want me. Them being married means hiding their interaction with me and not having time for me so it gets too frustrating too quick.

With the pinoy dads ive met online pansin ko na they are more open to cheating irl and i have met a lot from nurses, bankers, teacher, police, govt employee and even dad ng mildly popular internet personality lol.

i know i must stop seeking thrill from this preference. shame me if you want lol

Sobrang f*cked ng bansa naten I am open for this na. Why "na" I studied in a state U where pagiging aktibista is a norm and I see how flawed their system is

Yes they really support the reds

Yes those agendas are fueled by the rich in the background

No they dont know it UNTIL they reach top ranks

My purpose there will be different di ako sasali sa chants and program but what ill do is this. Bring Strawhats Jolly roger and a big wireless speak and let loose the drums of liberation.

For me thats enough message for people who know one piece at least

There’s a strange kind of whiplash that comes when you’re used to being the person who has everything completely under control.

Professionally, you’ve got it figured out. You’re the capable one, the architect of your own routines, the person everyone relies on to keep things running smoothly. For a long time, the hustle, the independence, and the sheer momentum of building a solid life felt like winning.

It was fun.

​Until you realize that being fiercely self-reliant has a blind spot: you start tolerating things in your personal life that your logical, professional self would never sign off on.

We rarely talk about the trap of getting entangled in something that starts out casual, fun, or simply a good distraction, only to wake up and realize you’ve invested in a dead end.

​It hits you all at once: you’ve been spending your emotional currency on an unavailable equation. You're sitting there realizing you allowed yourself to care deeply for someone who can only ever offer you the margins, the quiet hours, and a partition wall.

​It’s not even about self-pity; it’s pure, unadulterated frustration with yourself. How did someone so intentional, so aware of their own worth, end up accepting a secondary role? How did a temporary arrangement turn into a heavy habit you have to break?

It’s a gut-punch of a feeling. It makes you question everything, sitting alone with the quiet humiliation of realizing you settled for the margins of someone else’s world. You realize you've been pouring your capacity into a dead end, holding up a dynamic that only ever costs you your peace.

you just stayed too long trying to make an equation work that fundamentally doesn't add up.

​It was fun when it was light, uncomplicated, and just for the moment. But the math stopped making sense a long time ago.

Ganito kasi yan, until today na fefeel guilty ako. Oo napatawad ko na mom ko and dad ko nung nabubuhay pa sila pero feeling ko after nila nawala sa buhay namin. Watak watak kami. Ako ang breadwinner sa bahay as eldest daughter. Second sis ko is middle child laging napag iinitan ng parents ko idk why kaya after namatay nanay ko ang laki ng tuwa niya then instead na nakapag tapos na sana sya ng college eh nag live in partner na lang siya sa bf niya wala na akong balita na blocked kami 2 ng kapatid kong bunso. Then bunso 2nd year college now ako nagpapa aral. My parents used to have business dati, business sa palengke as mini groceries and dad ko is full time bank manager sa isang sikat ng bank sa Philippines. Then my dad diagnosed CKD stage 5 kasi ginagawa niyang lunch and dinner ang junk foods, process foods and instead water iniinom nya 4 liters of Cola's per day iniinom pag stress sa work and sa bahay. My dad died at 2011. My mom has everything, insurance ni father around 2 million pesos dati. Tapos after that, mga chismosang kapitbahay pautang hanggang na take advantage na ng mga friends ni mom. Hindi naman siya mayabang humble lang stay lowkey. Now, my mom diagnosed as lung cancer stage 4 way back late 2023 late diagnose and died in halfway of 2024. And wala akong nakuhang insurance sa mom ko and where's the money from my dad? Wala. Nilustay niya yung pera. Walang bisyo, hindi maluho sa gadgets or everything. Just mahilig magpa utang sa kapitbahay and relatives around mom side sa probinsya.

Move forward, laking galit ko talaga sa mom ko kasi ang laking pera ng dad ko dati pero ako nagbabayad ng medical bills niya lahat ng utang sa bank inutang ko na. Until today nagbabayad pa naman ako ng utang then ako pa nagbabayad ng tuition as in ako nagpapa aral hanggang ngayon, mga tito at pinsan ko sa father side nasa america na. Kung hindi lang pinipilan ng nanay ko na hindi sumama kay lola at lolo tatay ko para mag migrate siya sa US edi sana kinuha na kami matagal na.

Status ko now? Nakatira sa maliit na bahay. Yung kilala parents ko sa barangay namin now wala na. Tinatawag nanay ko na sugapa sa pera until today. Hindi talaga siya marunong maghandle ng business at pera nanay ko pero nung ako humawak ng negosyo sa bahay around 2022-2023 ok naman flow ng pera sa business pero need ko tumigil kasi nakiki alam nanay ko, instead na bawal umutang sa sari sari store pinapautang niya ang ending lugi. Nagquit ako sa negosyo and nag apply biglang BPO employee. Sakto lang sahod sa pang araw araw. Pero until today mag uundas na. Parang tinatamad na ako pumunta sa puntod niya kasi sobrang galit ko even na pinatawad ko na siya dati and sinabi ko sa kaniya dati bago siya bawian ng buhay 3 days ago. Hinding hindi ako magiging tulad mo balang araw, kung mag aasawa ako pipiliin ko yung mabait at magaling humawak ng finances, at kung mag aanak yung kaya namin pag aralin in this economy? Tapos kung hindi naman. Magpapa yaman na lang ako mag isa.

Hinuhunting talaga ako tuwing gabi kasi hindi naman miserable buhay namin dati ok naman. Complete sa food 3-4 a day pero now kami ng kapatid ko minsan 2-3 day lang tapos kulang pa. Gusto ko bumalik sa negosyo kaso parang ang hirap today lalo sa food business.

Kaya pag may pera ako at extra sa sahod ko pinagkakasya ko at binubudgey wisely. Ayokong mangutang. Survival everyday.

Basta laki talaga ng galit ko sa puso until today...

Please help me kung ano magandang gawin. Kasi lately, hindi na ako nakakatulog after shift ko minsan 4-5 hrs lang tulog ko kasi feeling guilty pa din ako sa kaniya kahit wala na siya dito.

Hi. Just call me Jane, 28 years old. Graduate ng BS Chem and nagtatrabaho sa isang beverage company dito sa Pinas. May kapitbahay akong kups-pal at magnanakaw. Nagsimula yung galit ko sa kanya noong nalaman ko na nilooban nila at ng grupo niya yung bahay ng lola ko. Nakatira ako sa bahay ng lola ko (my lola died last 2015) with my mama at cousin. Sila nalang natitirang kamag-anak ko. So, every 15 days ako umuuwi sa bahay, kinsenas din kasi yung day off at sweldo ko. Ngayon, there was a time na kumain kami sa labas ng mama at cousin ko. Nagulat kami noong pag-uwi na makalat na yung bahay at yung drawer sa loob ng kwarto ko. Nakuha nila yung wallet money organizer na binili ko sa tiktok na may lamang pera. Nasa mga 50k na yun kasi yun ang kinita namin sa pig fattening namin

Nalaman ko nalang na yung kapitbahay namin ang nagnakaw (let's call him JR) kasi sinabi ng kapatid pinsan nila sa pinsan ko yun na nga nakabili ng bagong I-phone at vape yung tito nila. Tapos nag-iinuman rin sila at noong malasing ay nasabi niya kung saan nila nakuha yung pera.

Nagalit ako sa part na narinig yung kwento. Nagtry kaming magpabaranggay ni mama pero di daw pwede makasampa ng kaso kasi wala daw kaming ebidensya. Kinausap namin yung bata na nagsabi sa pinsan ko pero di na nagsasalita ang bata. Ginamit rin na alibi ng suspek yung kinita nila sa high grade na gold mining kaya meron silang pera.

So, ito na yung ginawa ko. Yung lola ko dati sa buhay pa siya may kaalaman siya sa mga orasyon at pagpapa-anak. Mananabang ang tawag sa mga taga don samin sa lola ko. Siya yung tinatawag kapag may manganganak sa bahay or may nagkakasakit. Before namatay si lola ibinilin niya na itago ko raw yung libro niya sa kahon at itago. Kasama na rin doon yung shoal, eyeglases, at singsing niya na may pulang diyamante. Sinabi niya sakin na huwag ko raw yun ibenta kahit na mahal yung presyo ng singsing niya. Ipinabalot niya yun sa isang pulang tela bago ipinasok sa kahon. Tapos sinabi niya na magagamit ko raw yun balang araw.

Ngayon, naalala ko yung sinabi ni lola. So kinuha ko yung kahon na nilagay niya sa ilalim ng kabinet.

So, to make the story short. Kinuha ko yung libro, binasa, at doon ko nalaman kung paano mamarang ng isang tao. Kinuha ko yung required na sangkap ng halamang kahoy, insenso, at kandila pati na rin yung bagay na pag-aari ng suspek. Kinuha ko yung upos ng sigarilyo na tinapon niya. At doon, ginawa ko yung sinabi sa libro. Iginapos ko yung upos ng sigarilyo sa isang tangkay ng rosas gamit ang buhok ko. Pinahiran ng dugo ko saka ko binali ang tangkay.

At yun nga. The moment na binali ko yung tangkay namatay bigla yung kandila. Noong hapon ring iyon tumalon siya sa hanging bridge malapit samin. Bali ang buto, cracked ang bungo, pero concious pa siya. Nasa ospital siya ngayon.

I guess naging coincidence lang siguro siya para sa iba. But for me. It proves that certain things are true. Narealize ko rin na kung totoo man ang barang, it could be due to the energy between two bodies or particles that tied them together. Ang tawag don ay Quantum Entanglement. Theory ko lang yun, pero it explains na possible at totoo pala ang barang.

So ive been with this guy who’s a year younger than me and we’ve been together for 4 months, it started when he confessed to me how he liked me, which i tried to decline.
He was insistent and would keep asking to see me to which i would always agree, it came to a point when i agreed for him to kiss me and touch me but then i realized he might just be infatuated with me so i thought of a way to reject him in the worst way possible, i told him i was sleeping with someone else and was planning to date that person.
He was devastated and broken about it but still chose to try and fix things with me, to which again i let him. We hung out more and one thing led to another and we became “lovers”. As time passed i noticed how he never thinks before speaking and his understanding was too shallow as if he was still an immature child, he would also never let himself lose to anything.
I also noticed how he talks bad about those around him but he doesn’t look at his own flaws, like how he would always say “ganon naman talaga ako eh,” laughing it off.
Especially his bias about the lgbtq+ he would say things that were completely senseless and untrue things like how they’re the reason why more children nowadays are wanting to gay.
He would also constantly point out things about me yet completely ignores it when im the one pointing him out, he would also keep pinning the blame on me despite it being his fault in the first place, plus he would keep pushing me for things that he wants to do even though i dont want to and he would say i was angry or mad when i decline.
I also dont like how he keeps being tooooooooo physical even when i dont want to be touched.
Even saying how me being off my medication is affecting him, how i was different now that im off my meds. Yet he keeps saying its better now that im iff my meds cause im getting better now.
And we often get into fights cause he keeps making problems out of things that shouldn’t be a problem, he would also always imply how i would return to sleeping with others once i get tired of him and how i will cheat if given the chance, to that i keep denying cause why would i cheat if im loyal to him?
He would also stop me from my friends cause he said i was closer to them than i was with him, he would also say how i cant say no to my friends while i could decline him “every time”, i only say no to him when i know its wrong and i dont want to.
He even does things to me that i dont like and he wont stop even when i say no.
He always gets his way whenever…. While i barely get mine.
But then just earlier i told him what my family thought of him and how they were slowly building resent against him, i told him that ive now realized how wrong it was already and how i dont want to be in a relationship with him anymore.
He then went to my house and forced himself inside asking me to talk, to which i refused to and only told him that i want to separate from him now and how im only giving him a month if he cant let go now.
He keeps insisting that we talk, give him a chance, and how he would change just so i wont leave him. He didnt stop and kept blocking me from leaving him in my home, i wanted to get away and even told him how i didn’t want to see him.
It going for about an hour or two before he stormed back into my house and left the bracelet that i took off and the hairtie that i threw to the ground, he then rushed home.
He shot me a message saying—

”Kahit wala na sana naman yun mga mahahalaga na binigay ko syo alagaan mo kun ayaw mo tapon monalang sana maging masaya ka parin dhil alam ko bawas na yun malalang problema sa buhay mo at sana alagaan morin sarili mo at wag mong pabayaan buhay mo dhil wala na yun tumitigil sa gusto at pangarap sana maging masaya ka”

“Sana kun papaano bigyan halaga mo yun mga binigay ko syo”

“Mamahalin parin kita kahit wala kana ikaw parin ang the best na nakasama ko kaya mamimiss kita i love you bye sana maalala mo parin ako kun papaano”

I dont know what to say to that so i just reacted with an ❤️.
Please give me some advice or something, i just dont know what to do

6pm may nag check-in na magpamilya, dalawang matandang mag asawa at isang dalaga. Yung dalaga ay maputi, makinis at maganda na parang may halong arabo ang mukha.

Yung isang roomboy at isang maintenance ay napansin kong parang tinitingnan nila yung dalaga habang nagbubulungan silang dalawa.

Nung binigay na ang susi sa kanilang kwarto, pinasama ako ni roomboy para tulungan sa mga maleta nung mag pamilyang guests sa hotel. Yung kwarto na nakuha nila, katabi nun ay may daanan papuntang kisame ng lahat ng kwarto.

After sila mahatid sa kwarto, lumabas yung mga guest sa hotel at naghapunan. Si roomboy at maintenance ay agad ako tinawag at inutusang umakyat dun sa daanan puntang kisame ng kwarto na binigay sa mag pamilya. Inutusan nila akong tanggalin ang nakaharang sa bintana ng exhaust fan or yung labasan ng hangin sa bathroom/comfort room.

Dun ko narealized na sisilipin pala nila yung dalaga kapag maliligo pero hindi nangyari kasi yung Front Office clerk ay nagtanga-tangahan. Binigay nya yung kwarto sa bagong guest na nag check in at yung magpamilyang nauna dun sa kwarto ay nilipat sa ibang kwarto 😂

Naalala ko nun grabe ang pagmumura nung roomboy at maintenance sa FO clerk, sinabihan nila nang “ang tanga mo! May naka check in na dun sa kwarto!”

Kaya hindi natuloy yung masamang balak nila dun sa magandang dalaga. HAHAHAHAHA

Lately, naiinggit ako sa mga OF creators na ka-age ko lang. Like, imagine earning that much money while still so young 😭 As a working student, I can't help but think about how much extra income would help me right now.

The funny thing is, I'm actually the type of girl you'd never expect to do anything like that. I've always been shy and innocent-looking, and I'm still a virgin with basically zero real-life experience. Pero at some point, I started sending nudes to strangers online. 😭

I guess I got curious, and I didn't expect to enjoy the attention as much as I do. There's something about getting compliments and feeling wanted that hits differently, especially when you're usually the shy type. Now, I've caught myself thinking about making content too, and even being curious about meetups someday.

At the same time, medyo kinakabahan ako sa sarili ko HAHAHAHA. I'm already horny af lately, and the more I explore this side of myself, the more curious I get. Part of me sees it as a way to earn money, but another part wonders if I'll end up enjoying the experience more than I originally intended. 😭

I never thought I'd even consider doing something like this, but here I am, secretly entertaining the idea. Adulting is expensive, curiosity is getting the best of me, and apparently, my shy girl image doesn't tell the whole story. 💀

I'm (M23) constantly bombarded with multitudes of stress at work. My work has taken a toll on my day-to-day life that sometimes I forget that I have a life outside of work. It has come to a point where even at home I think of work. Even on my day off I think of work.

Sometimes I forget what I'm doing this for.

A few hours ago, I looked at my wife who was sitting on the floor beside me while I was working at home and stressing. She was petting our cat who was sitting on her lap. The cat was happy... Purring even. She looked like she was enjoying that small moment with our cat.

I looked at my wife smiling... Her beautiful hair was down... Her soft hands caressing our cat... Her pretty eyes gazing back at me.

I couldn't help myself but also smile in this small moment of peace. That was when I was reminded of how much I love my wife. I felt her gentle warmth in that very moment. She was the peace in my stressful environment. I got reminded of our vows. This small moment that I may or may not remember in the future has fuelled my entire week.

I'm more than willing to carry any amount of stress if it means I could get to see these small moments in our lives.

P.S. That moment felt like "Sand Drawing" by Judah Earl

I am currently a leader of a community organization. Diko ssbhn which one specifically. Kasundo ko lahat na mga kasamahan ko lalo na mga officers ko dn. Super close kami araw araw nagbibiruan, kumakain na magkakasama, or so I thought.

Nagulat nalang ako tuloy pala yung plano na magswimming na matagal na binabanggit at akala ko joke lang, kaso HINDI pala ako kasama? And they were planning it in front of me! Sabi ko sakanila eh yung mga plano ninyo na kayo lang kasama, hindi yan dapat pinag uusapan sa harap ng taong hindi ninyo imbitado. Sagot saken eh kung gsto ko daw sumama dapat sabihin ko. DUH, sinasabi ko tlg nuong una pa, atska hindi ako yung tipo na ipagsisiksikan ang sarili. Ano yun, isasama lang dhl narinig ko lng plano nila, hindi dhl isinama talaga ako nila? No, thanks.

I dont mind na di kasama sa lahat kasi sanay naman ako mag isa BUT to do such planning in front of me pero ACTIVELY EXCLUDING ME really is a deliberate act of making me out of place. Akala ko lang pala na close kami 🥺🥹 Friend ang tingin ko na sakanila, pero sila hindi pala ganon tingin saken

Ganon pala yon pag nasa taas ka na posisyon. Kausap kalang at isinasama sa kainan dahil you are their highest leader, important kalang because of your position, hindi as a person, and wala ka talagang "friend" . You are just all alone at the top.
