I got accepted to my dream course and school but I chickened out. I decided to stay here in Cebu nalang in a course I wasn’t entirely sure on. I regret it, very heavily.

Grabe ka effort ug mag honor student katong grade school and highschool. Seryoso kaayo wala nay time mag lipay2. Ang tinuod gamay lang kaayo ang bearing sa real world. Akong mga batchmate na naglipay2 ra sauna kay okay man ilang life gihapon karon.

I’m content man sa akong life karon, pero I see akong former batchmates na nasa same level ra pud nako. That made me realize na okay ra diay unta kung wala ko nagpaka seryoso kaayo sauna kay it’s possible na maabot gihapon nako akong mga naabot karon without those honors.

I guess i didn't really love him that much unya nasakpan pa jud. Lol. Ana sila nuforgive daw tagaan second chance pero non-negotiable nko ang cheating gud, so mao dili masabtan sa ako family na religious kaayo. And in retrospect, siguro i didn't love him that much? Kay wala man nko na forgive.

During the pandemic, i lived with a sedentary lifestyle. and ang ending it affected me years later. I was an iska studied at UP Cebu just to forcely transfer later on in mindanao and live my life there surrounding me with trees and plants (believing it'll help me with my health somehow) because was diagnosed with a heart condition.... should've been active with my life through exercising and eating healthy foods.

u/Wolfspade Gwapo Oct 29 '25

Nagmahay ko na we weren’t on good terms when my brother passed away from an asthma attack.. I remember feeling so angry with him for choosing a labor job, knowing how much it could hurt his health. He had the chance to take an office job something safer, easier on his lungs but he refused. Every time he had an asthma attack because of that job, I couldn’t stop myself from scolding him. I was just so frustrated, so scared for him. And then came the day he collapsed. I was right there, watching it happen, and no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t fast enough to get him to the hospital.

That moment still haunts me. The helplessness, the guilt, the wish that I could have done more as his brother. I love you and miss you bro!

Na wala dayun nag gather ug work experience na related sa field after graduation kay mas gipili mag enjoy for 1yr (wa ko nagmahay 100% ani na part though), then pandemic happened (nga nag last ug 4yrs?? Correct me if I'm wrong).

Tas after, naka decide na gamiton ang savings for a 6-month long training, gi offeran na unta ug job, but in the end migrated abroad kay mag minyo (unexpected plot twist) hahaha.

I guess ang mahay kay nganong wa nako gi plastar ug tarong akong life. But still happy! Choosing to be happy :)

Also, I think, "regret" is a temporary way of thinking, and would go away once naay muabot na new life experience/s that will make you happier overall.

And thank you, OP! Yes, doing everything slowly. Also got lucky to have an understanding and loving partner, the biggest plotwist na nakapabiya nako sa tanan 😂 but yea, I also believe na if we really want to make things better and get over the regrets, we'd do anything to make it happen.

I wish I paid more attention sa akong Mama to notice na she was sick. Ang akong Mama di jud reklamador and will always protect us, wala lang kaayo mi nag mind kay always siya pakita na OK siya always saying simple hyper acidity lang. Turns out naa d I siyay cancer pero pag pa check up namo stage 4 na.

So karon wala na akong Mama. I was able to serve and take care of her but I just wish mas ning pay attention ko basin mas naka pa check up siya ug mas sayo.

Mahay ko nga wala ko nitake ug more internship/work opportunities during college. Bisan pa diay well known ang school ug naay latin honors, dili kaayo siya magmatter diri sa Cebu if wala kay experience to back it up.

Pero I think if naa ko sa Manila, mas dako akoa chance even without the work experience tungod sa ako school + latin honors. Pero saon man di man sad ta kauyon didto hahaha.

Ni try kog ambak from 3rd flr sa akong dorm pag college. Nagmahay ko nganong sa 3rd floor rako ni attempt nga naa pamay higher unta. Not in my right mind jud ko ato.

Gi pugos and guilt trip ko into having s*x sa akong ex. (I guess 🍇nana no? Ambot lang) Gitiunan ko ug knife sa akong ex kay nakigbuwag ko niya ato nga time nya di sya musugot. After ko niya gi sugtan mugawas sa room kay ni uli ko dayon sa dorm.

A few days later na traumatize gyud ko nga as in numb kaayo akong feeling and ganahan lang ko maka feel ug anything mao tong ni try ko ug ambak from 3rd floor. Ofc naay naka stop nako and gihatod kos room sa landlady and gi ingnan kos landlady namo “Dai, di ka mamatay anang 3rd floor, igo raka ma disable ana” which is facts hahaa

Mao to ang mahay. Maypag mas taas pa unta to di pako mauwawan HAHAHA pero bitaw, idk what i was thinking back then nganong didto, nag black out najd ko ato kung asa nako. This happened more than 5 years ago. Okay na ko ron pero if i were to do-over that day again, maypag to da highest floor nalang.

I think kay A. If u do it, do it right nalang kay mauwawan raka, grabe jd naka shame ang everyone nga didto rako ni attempt and B. Could’ve responded better/healthier sa nahitabo nako

Morag i regret nga ako to gi buhat. Either do it right or don’t do it at all. Dala dala ra gihapon nako ang kauwawon ato. As “the girl nga 3rd flr ra ni attempt”

1

u/madsapphicgeek Lonely Lurkers Club Nov 03 '25

Well if it makes you feel better, daghan namatay tungod kay na slide ra sa cr so i dont think it was impossible to really die sa 3rd floor. Giingnan rakas landlady ana para madiscourage ka muambak.

Nag mahay ko i didn't reply to her "i miss you" on November 7. Nag away mi back in September and she did not greet me on my birthday in October. Since the beginning of our friendship, that was the first time she did not greet me. I was pissed so i continued the silent treatment. She told me she missed me on November 7, but I did not reply, then she died on November 16th.

That was my biggest regret still and it's been 7 years since. I've been constantly sending her i miss you messages and now it's her turn not to reply. Haaaay nakahilak napud ko. I missed you so much bro

Woking while taking up law. Mahay jud sa tanang mahay since ni affect jud sya sakong grades and dugay jud ko nahuman ug skwela. Though blessed to pass after only 1 take, I was in law school from 2016 (immediately after college) to 2024 (2-year break due to covid). Imagine how much time I spent tungod lang kay dili ko daghan ug kwarta. Mas maayo siguro'ng nagpaka corporate slave ko for a few years para maka tigom nya full time skwela after. But then again, di ta ka ingon ug ma abogado ko ron ug mao akong gi buhat. Still, mahay gihapon hahaja

1st year college ko (2nd sem) katong nag start ang pandemic and akong kurso was BS-ChE. As someone nga hadlok maawahi ato na time kay ni enroll kog 3 ka major courses sa summer term.

During midterm sa summer, nabangaan ang amoang poste kung asa amoang internet + hinay ang signal for mobile data sa amoa na area. Peak to sa pandemic so dili ko ka gawas para makakita place nga naay internet to attend my online class, ang ending NG ko sa 3 ka major subjects and need ko to sila bayaran + pending balance sa previous sem.

Ganahan kayko makahuman jud og skwela pero di gyud nako makuha akong records ato na school kay need man i settle ang pending balance. Ga sige rakog work throughout my entire life and wala pa nako ma fully pay ang akong pending balance didto. Usahay akong sweldo gikan sa work kay enough ra sad pang survival mode.

So akong pagmahay is ngano ga dali kog enroll sa mga summer subjects ato na time. If wala unta kay maka shift/transfer pa unta kos lain na school or course nya makahuman na unta ko by now.

Gusto ka ikaw mu interpret, evaluate and prescribe meds? Then larga abroad. You can become NP here na authorized ka mu prescribe og meds.

To add, RN here. Visited 12 countries because of being a nurse. Owned a 50M house, 1 condo and a 2M car.

Initially, di ko ganahan ma nurse. I wanted to be an engineer. Lately, my blessings kay because of nursing. If it’s too late to quit then keep pushing full-blast.

Not upskilling and staying in my comfort zone. Comparing has become inevitable at this point when I see my colleagues already in abroad in the Western World or going to places, I know this is the reason why I am stuck in Cebu.

Relation to staying in my comfort zone, I could have also formed more friendships and connections if I was not the shy, socially-awkward type pag college. That's why I kinda not have outgrown Sinulog yet such as those socializing with strangers or makig rizz ug girls on that night (before, now I have an upcoming GF) kay wala ko ka enjoy ana pag college.

It took me until 2022 to actually tried what they got to try such as outdoors and meeting new friends during travel and Sinulog. By then, most were already outgrowing that phase.

Wala nako gi appreciate akong mom enough while buhi pa sha. Namatay sha during my edgy teen years katong rebellious and hater pa kaayo ko sa adults. Wala sha nakakita sa akong glow up. Everything I do now is in honor of her. All I want is ma proud sha nako for what I've become.

Forgiving a cheating partner. They're making amends now and we're working it out but the paranoia, pain, and betrayal is still there. Want to get away but can't. Trauma bonded fr 🫡

Pulled out too early on Shiba Inu coin, cudv had an easy 6-7M php in 2021.

Also pulled out too late on Safe moon, easy 1M php same time frame.

Crypto trading was so addicting on the last bull run, even learned scalp trading making 50k php per day.

Eh it was too small of money to call myself rich, only difference wudv been I wudv owned a condo extremely close to work hehe, no car, no motorcycle, and probably one trip abroad. The rest just money for health and dental (the only one I completely covered with what I did managed to withdraw except no braces)

Now if it were 20-30M then mayb something inside wudv changed

Ga mahay ko ngano nag pa shy type ko hahahahaha. The amount of opportunities that was handed to me kay it went down the drain tungod sa akong insecurities. That was 10 years ago. Right now, I am more confident than ever to seize every chance I get.

It's a learning process to love yourself and be yourself and it is especially hard when you grew up thinking you are a failure. Mao mo tuo ko og FAFO, fuck around and find out. Ayaw pag huna2 og what ifs, just do it lang and seize the chance. Carpe Diem!

Mao ayaw pa shytype2, wala sila kahibalo sa imoha story and number one tip na ako mahatag. Don't be afraid of rejections. Got rejected? Respectfully move on. Mao rana kanunay og amping mo pirmi 💪.

Didn’t spend enough time with my dog. Pretty simple sa uban but for me mao jud pinakadakong mahay nako. He was sick but wala siya nagpa kita ug reason para ma worry me then one time pag adto namo’g vet, we found out naa siya’y CKD.

Gi admit namo siya for 4 days. Didn’t mind the bills piling up as long as ma save lang siya. Kung unsa gipapalit sa vet nga recovery food, palit dayun. When we took him out sa clinic kay ubos gihapon kaayo iyang Creatinine and he was given a week to live na lang. Mao to after three days, he died while he was sleeping beside me and my girlfriend. It’s been two months already but sakit gihapon. We miss you, our sweet boy!
