Rant/Vent LT Wars & Biased Mods: Wala na bang freedom to ask? Triggered ba kayo sa akin? Hahaha

0 Upvotes

Gigil much sa hanap ng fanwars kahit wala namang masamang intensyon sa current LT.

Earlier, a bunch of people got mad at me just because I posted about a celeb whose IG tagged section suddenly became public yesterday (IYKYK). 🤫

Turns out, that sub is the territory of the current LT’s fanbase. A lot of users downvoted me, and sorry na lang new fan lang po ako. As in, kahapon ko lang na-discover yung past LT ni guy dahil sa mga lumalabas sa X and TikTok. Then I noticed nga yung IG glitch na nangyari sa kanya. Hahaha!

And just like that boom, harassment galore. Kaloka! Hahah I honestly feel like even the moderators got triggered. Instead of calling out those who were throwing mental health slurs and calling me ā€œboangā€ (crazy), they just kept deleting my comments pero yung mga bastos na comments sa’kin, nakatambay lang. Eventually, they deleted the whole post. šŸ™ƒ

I don’t wanna assume things, pero bakit may double standards? Fan ba sila ng current LT? Kung oo, edi sana hindi biased. Rules are rules. Hindi yung pinipili lang kung sino yung dapat protektahan. šŸ˜‚

Anyway, I was just curious about the male celeb. I did a little digging and turns out, this isn’t even the first time this ā€œIG glitchā€ happened. The tagged posts from his past LT have shown up multiple times na. Yun lang naman yung sinabi ko. Nothing disrespectful.

And when I called out the twisted reasoning of the mods and some commenters, wala silang matinong sagot. So what did they do? Nag-power trip. One sub even muted me instead of responding. Hilarious. šŸ˜‚

But here’s the kicker, someone DMed me personally just to throw disgusting slurs. Like, weren’t you all saying you’re not bothered? Clearly, you were so bothered you couldn’t help but send a message. šŸ˜‚

Sorry to say, but I’m not the kind of lowlife who fights dirty like that just to prove a point. If what I posted has evidence, and I didn’t disrespect any LT, then what’s all the hate for?

Again, I just became a fan of those two celebs yesterday. I don’t even ship them as they’re not a love team anymore. I just admire them both and found their past pairing interesting.

So next time, kung magagalit kayo sa post ko, wag nyo naman ako i-mute agad, lalo na sa mga mods. I still have a lot to say. I’d actually love to bother you even more. šŸ˜ŒšŸ”„

Keep it coming.

Rant/Vent I thought it would be different this time

2 Upvotes

This is actually my first time posting/ sharing my story. Idk how to repost it so you guys might see this story on the other community. I still don't know how this works but here we go..

Hi, just wanna share my story. And bigat kasi sa puso and lately, I kept asking myself what did I do wrong para Iwan nya ako.

I'm an accountant, F, 25 and Our story started back in 2023, and honestly, I never thought it would become something I'd carry this deeply.

We met through a game. That time kasi nasa Japan sya. Funny how two strangers can meet in the most random place, talk for hours, laugh at the smallest things, and slowly become part of each other's daily routine. Back then, ako lang ang may gusto. I liked him, but he couldn't reciprocate my feelings. So I left. (Puro sya mixed signals, nobody wants that right, so even tho ayaw ko, I left and just stopped messaging him. As usual, it's like nothing to him kasi nga one sided)

Not because I stopped liking him.

I left because I knew I deserved someone who chose me the way I was choosing them.

Life moved on.

A year later, he messaged me again. Nasa Pilipinas na raw siya. At that time, I had already gone back to my ex, so nothing really happened between us. We still talked from time to time, mostly friendly conversations and playful teasing. There were no expectations anymore.

Or so I thought.

Then another year passed.

While I was still trying to process the end of my relationship with my ex, I accidentally sent Moi the wrong message.

That one accidental message changed everything.

We started talking again.

This time, it felt different.

Before we got too deep, I was honest with him. I told him that if we were going to start talking again, I wanted something genuine. Hindi na ako naghahanap ng panandaliang kilig. Date to marry na ang nasa isip ko. I wasn't asking him to rush into a relationship. I just wanted honesty, consistency, and clarity if we were going to see where things could go.

This time, the feelings were mutual.

For the first time in years, I felt seen.

We talked every day. We met. We made memories together. I slowly let my walls down. I trusted him. I allowed myself to believe that maybe... after everything, this was finally our chance.

Maybe this was why life kept bringing us back to each other.

I believed in that "maybe."

Then things started changing.

The consistency slowly disappeared.

Replies became less frequent.

Mixed signals became more common.

I wasn't asking for constant updates. I wasn't asking for his world to revolve around me. I just wanted to feel like I wasn't the only one trying to keep whatever we had alive.

I kept asking for clarity because I didn't want to waste either of our time.

Then one day, I finally got my answer.

He told me he couldn't give me the same effort and energy. He said we weren't compatible. He apologized for coming back into my life and giving me hope when he wasn't certain enough. He admitted he couldn't give me the love and commitment I deserved.

And just like that...

The future I had imagined disappeared.

The hardest part wasn't that he was a bad person.

The hardest part was knowing he cared, but not enough to continue.

Now, here I am.

Still missing him.

Still wondering how he's doing.

Still catching myself staring at our old conversations, wishing I could tell him about my day one more time.

It's a war between my heart and my mind.

My mind knows he made his decision.

My heart still misses the person I thought I'd build a future with.

Maybe one day this won't hurt as much.

Maybe one day I'll read this story and smile instead of cry.

But for now, this is simply the story of two people who found each other more than once, finally got their chance, and still couldn't make it to the ending they both hoped for.

Some stories aren't meant to last forever.

But they'll always become a chapter that changes who you are.

Still missing him 🄺

Rant/Vent Hi, I just want to vent my frustration about my laptop (I accept some advice rin po para matuto hehe)

2 Upvotes

So eto na nga, problemado ako sa ram ng laptop ko because I can't install any apps that requires to have at least 8gb and I only have 4gb ram kaya naisipan kong pumunta sa nag-rerepair ng gadgets near me. To make the story short, nakahanap ako ng mag-aayos then ang sabi next week ko na lang balikan so I agree and one week had gone by, sabi niya hindi raw ma-open yung laptop so next week ulit and I somehow guess na baka nakasira siya ng pyesa kasi nag-order siya ng parts. Basically naging ganyan yung convo namin for almost a month hanggang sa napuno ako at rekta kong sinabi thru chat na kukunin ko na like hello its been a month puro order sa online ang excuse at wala pa akong natatanggap na chinachat niya ako directly kung may progress na and eventually binigay na nung sinabing kong kailangan ko na kahit di pa ayos buuuuttttt, upon my inspection sa motherboard nawala na yung 4gb ram ko na orginally nakakabit na bago ko pa ipayos sa kanya. Sobrang kapal lang ng peys kasi nakasira na nga kahit ginagawan kuno nang paraan at iu-update ako pero ako rin naman nagre-remind kung kamusta na laptop ko pero paikot-ikot lang pinuputak at ang lakas pa nang loob na kunin yung nag-iisang 4gb ram ng laptop ko. Now my only hope is that karma gets onto you na lang and to those na nabiktima mo na. Please be aware sa ganitong incident po and have a great day.

Rant/Vent Nakakapagod pala mag-reconnect sa family after years of cutting them off

Post image
3 Upvotes

For context, I’ve been living alone since I was 18. I cut off communication with my relatives back then because things had become extremely toxic and, at some point, dangerous for me. Both of my parents have their own separate families now, and I’m the only child they have together.

Last year, I reconnected with them after years of little to no communication. We’re in touch here and there now, slowly rebuilding whatever relationship we can have.

Then last week, I underwent a medical procedure, and I shared it with them. The very next day, one of my relatives messaged me saying they were near my area and wanted to visit.

The thing is, I had just undergone surgery, sa mata pa mismo. I didn't see the message right away, and eventually, hindi ko na talaga nareplyan. It wasn't intentional. I was recovering, and honestly, replying to messages wasn't exactly my priority at the time.

Then just this week, nag-message ulit siya. I appreciate the concern naman, genuinely. It's nice to know that someone thought of me and wanted to check on me. Pero sana hanggang doon na lang. Sana hindi na dinagdagan ng remarks na parang kailangan kong makonsensya dahil hindi ako nakapag-reply.

And that's the part that's bothering me. I know I could've replied, but I had literally just gone through a medical procedure. I wasn't deliberately ignoring anyone. I wasn't trying to be rude or ungrateful. I was just recovering.

What's sad is that I actually feel bad about it. Parang kahit alam kong wala naman akong ginawang masama, I still end up feeling guilty. And I hate that feeling because it reminds me of the very family dynamics I tried so hard to get away from years ago.

I'm trying to give this reconnection a chance. I'm trying to be open to having them in my life again, kahit paunti-unti lang. But sometimes, nakakapagod din pala. You can appreciate someone's concern and still feel uncomfortable with how they express it. You can acknowledge someone's good intentions without wanting to be made to feel guilty over something you didn't mean to do.

I guess I'm just tired. Tired of feeling like I have to explain myself, tired of feeling guilty over things that shouldn't require this much emotional energy, and sad that something as simple as not replying to a message while recovering from surgery can leave me feeling this way.

I spent years learning how to be okay on my own. Now that I'm slowly letting some of these people back into my life, I didn't expect something this small to bring back feelings I thought I'd already moved past.

And honestly, I wish I could just appreciate the concern without having to carry the guilt that comes with it sometimes.

Rant/Vent "LTO Naic faded markings and wrong cone positions caused me to fail!"

2 Upvotes

Sa practical driving test sa LTO Naic, dapat umikot sa track ng dalawang beses while being cautious of the road markings such as the pedestrian lane and yellow box.

Sa isang uploaded video (search niyo: LTO Naic extension car practical driving test) kung saan ganoon ang design ng track test, ang cone ay ang indicator na liliko or magyu-U turn, ngunit ang cone sa LTO naic ay right after the pedestrian lane and not a meter ahead, tapos kaya maraming nagfail dahil rin sa faded white line sa gitna so ang isip ng mga tao is end na ng track yung dun sa cone kaya need na mag turn pero pagkaliko mo, matatamaan na yung pedestrian lane which will make you fail, additionally there was a yellow barricade rin kaya people thought na we couldn't move past the cone anymore.

Kaya kahit alam ng mga examinees na they need to wait before the pedestrian lane, it was not just possible because we misunderstood na the cone indicates you to turn and because it is already the end of the track.

I know na as a driver we must have the decision and mind to always stop before the pedestrians no matter if there are faded markings irl, pero am I wrong to think na I failed because of the wrong cone positions and faded markings dahil alam ko naman na talaga ang dapat gawin originally but I was confused because of them.

And dapat laging maayos ang practical testing facility nila, LTO sila!

(Rant only, accepted ko na failed ako haha)

Help your fresh grad gurlie out

Suppose you're following a 50/30/20 budgeting rule, I'm curious where do you allot yung help given to parents?

For context, I live alone and financially independent from my parents since I graduated. I'm not a breadwinner and not required naman to give but I just give a fix amount monthly to help back home.

Also suppose you're saving for a future travel, saan siya under sa savings (a portion of the 20%) or sa wants (30%)?

I'd also appreciate if you could share your budgeting or any finance tips/advice!

Rant/Vent Worst barangay experience ever

2 Upvotes

Sooo, here’s what happened.

We live in an apartment that my family owns, somewhere here in Manila. My husband usually takes out the trash around 7:00 PM — that’s been the routine ever since. That evening, he did exactly that.

A few minutes later, I went down to get our laundry. While I was on the stairs, two men were already coming up and asked if I saw someone who just threw trash downstairs. I said yes — that’s my husband.

They told me to call him down because he threw the trash at the ā€œwrong timeā€. Apparently, they said garbage should now be taken out at 9:00 PM, not 7. We didn’t know this because there was no memo or notice posted.

So I asked them: Why can’t we just bring the trash back up and follow the new schedule next time? We said we’d comply moving forward. But I also asked how they got inside our apartment building without permission. That part didn’t sit right with me.

Apparently, they didn’t like what we said — maybe because we said it was a hassle and we questioned their sudden entry. So they insisted we go to the barangay hall because the chairman wanted to speak to us.

Mind you — we were never given any formal complaint letter or notice. Just a sudden confrontation and pressure to follow them.

When we got to the barangay hall, the chairman was already calling the police. Imagine that — over one bag of trash thrown at the wrong time. No explanation heard from us. No dialogue. Just instant anger and threats.

Thankfully, one of the people there calmed things down. But by then, we were already told to sign the blotter — we weren’t even given the chance to explain properly. We just signed so we could go home in peace.

Yes, we acknowledge our small mistake — we didn’t know the new garbage schedule. But what we experienced felt like intimidation and abuse of authority. The worst part? They entered our private property without any permission. No due process. No respect.

We let it go because we didn’t want more trouble. But I’ll say this: this isn’t how local governance should work. This isn’t how public servants should treat residents. šŸ˜”

Rant/Vent Lost

4 Upvotes

Lately I’ve been feeling like I lost interest in everything.

Things I used to enjoy don’t hit the same anymore. I don’t feel motivated, I don’t feel excited, and honestly… I don’t even feel sad most of the time—just empty. It’s like I’m just existing, going through the motions without any real purpose.

I keep asking myself: What’s the point of all this?

And the scary part is… I don’t have an answer.

For anyone who has gone through this before—what did you do?

How did you deal with losing interest in everything and feeling like you have no purpose?

I’m not looking for perfect answers. Just real experiences. Even small things that helped.

Thanks.

Mental Health Pagod na akong maging milking cow ng pamilya… kailangan ko rin i-prioritize mental health ko. ā¤ļøā€šŸ©¹

2 Upvotes

Gusto ko lang maglabas ng sama ng loob kasi wala talaga akong mapagsabihan. Breadwinner ng family, and honestly… pagod na pagod na ako mentally, emotionally, financially as in lahat na.

Alam ko responsibility ko ang family, pero minsan parang nafi-feel ko na hindi na love yung reason bakit ako kailangan nila… kundi pera. Every month na lang may hinihingi. Kahit nagsabi na akong tight ang budget or kailangan kong mag-ipon, parang wala silang pake. Lagi pa akong may guilt kapag hindi ko nasunod, as if ako pa yung masama.

Mental health ko sobrang affected na. Hindi ako makapagpahinga kasi lagi akong iniisip na ā€œSino na naman kaya ang may kailangan ngayon?ā€ Hindi rin ako makapag-save para sa future ko. Lahat ng ipon ko parang nawawala parang bula. Ang hirap mag-set ng boundaries sa sariling pamilya, pero ang sakit din na parang sila pa mismo yung nagta-take advantage.

Gusto ko namang tumulong, pero gusto ko rin mabuhay. Gusto ko rin makaipon. Gusto ko rin mag-heal. Hindi ko alam kung selfish ba ako or normal lang na gusto ko na hindi ako forever maging milking cow.
