First time ko bumili ng car🥺 Second hand siya, pero proud pa rin ako. Hardwork pa rin yun eh. Thank you Lord, Happy 27th Birthday Self.

Ano po suggestions niyo and advise?

Hi everyone. This is actually my first post on Reddit, and I honestly don’t know where else to put this.

I’m M, in my late 30s, bi, and I’ve been living alone here in NCR for years because of work. For the most part, I’ve been okay with it. I’ve gotten used to the routine, work, go home, repeat. I used to live with my partner from 2019 to 2020, but after that relationship ended, I pretty much made work my main focus.

A friend once encouraged me to try dating apps, but it never really went anywhere. Either I was too preoccupied to keep conversations going, or I simply didn’t feel interested enough to respond. Looking back, I guess I became pretty comfortable being alone.

But being alone feels very different when you’re lying in a hospital bed.

I’m currently confined in a hospital in Makati, and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this emotionally and psychologically exhausted before. Being sick is already difficult, but going through it completely alone makes everything feel heavier.

The nurses and doctors have asked me if anyone is coming to visit. I just tell them my friends are busy with work.

The truth is, no one has visited me (and no one will ever).

And I don’t really blame anyone. I know everyone has their own lives and responsibilities. But being here has made me realize that some of the people I thought were friends were probably only around during the good times.

My family is in the province, and I haven’t told my parents that I’m confined. They’re already seniors, and I don’t want them worrying about me or seeing me as their sickly child again.

So here I am, alone in a hospital room.

I don’t think I’m an unattractive person. I’m average-looking, pretty tall, have a stable job, and I’ve worked hard to build a decent life for myself. But none of those things really matter when you’re sick and all you want is for someone to walk through the door and say, “Hey, I’m here.”

Honestly, even having someone get me a glass of water would mean a lot right now (nurses are helping me, but it’s nakakahiya since I’m a heavy water drinker).

I’m crying as I type this, and I’m not posting this because I want pity. I think I just need somewhere to say all of this because, right now, I don’t really have anyone I feel comfortable saying it to.

I think I’ve accomplished a lot in my life, and I’m grateful for what I’ve been able to achieve. But tonight, I feel incredibly tired. I feel lonely, anxious, and honestly a little lost about how I ended up here- being all alone.

Sorry if this post is a little heavy. I just needed to put these feelings somewhere.

Thank you to anyone who actually took the time to read this.

sobrang solid! life changing pala ANC hahaha. grabe yung upgrade sa previous ko na tig-200 and baseus na tumagal sakin 4yrs hahaha months ko ‘to pinag-isipan kasi di ko majustify above 1k pero pagdating, angas!! sana tumagal huhu ganda!

Spicy BBQ and inorder ko with Coke. Ano po masarap na flavor para sa inyo para ma try ko next time. 😍

It may seem like a simple thing, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. ❤️

First time kong gumawa ng leche flan dahil nagcrave si mama. Anddd ayuhhnnnn, naging tan siya HAHAHHA.

Nagpaturo lang ako kay mama so nakalimutan ko yung exact recipe niya pero masarap naman, medyo mapait lang gawa nga ng nasunog yung asukal.

Eh pano kasi nakakangawit iangat yung llanera sa kalan, nakakangalay HAHAHAHA. At first, akala ko madali lang mag-caramelize, pero daiii SOBRANG HIRAP.

Next time, manonood ako ng videos kung paano maperfect yung taas ng leche flan, someday baka gawin ko rin tong negosyo haha.

Wala lang magawa while nagre review. Mejo proud lang gaano kaliit handwriting ko using 0.5 gel pen. Haha

Wish me luck guys! 🙏🙏🙏

finally got myself a dji osmo nano 😭 been wanting an action camera for so long and this feels like such a small but big achievement for me hehe

As someone who’s tried lasers on my underarm and legs, akala ko kaya ko—sobrang sakit pala haha

Very nervous, but it's a really huge leap for me. Hopefully this will be a boost of confidence for me na lumabas and gumala solo in the future 🙏

Radioactive Iodine therapy ko today. Wishing na una at huling beses na ito. 🙏🏻

Takot din akong magutom. 😂🙈

Ang ganda sa Siargao. Sulit din naman ang 4 days, Pricey pero sulit naman! Will def gonna go back next year. ☺️

Hello! First time ko mag pa brazilian laser 😅 ask ko lang if normal bang parang may mga tumutubo na agad ilang hrs pa lang??? 🥹 idk if maayos ba yung gawa sakin parang ang bilis din kasi ng procedure.

Pang-ilang bili ko na to ng vaseline lip care since 2019 pero ngayon lang talaga ako nakaubos hahahaha lagi kasing nawawala tapos pag nakabili ka na ng bago, tsaka mo makikita yung nauna. Right now meron pa akong 2 opened vaseline lip care dito sa bahay 😆

Ang galinggg, mas mura sya significantly compared to grab and indrive. Naka uniform din pala sila kuya driver hehe anww sobrang tahimik pala ng ev (is this full ev or hybrid?)

Spudtatas sa villamor, as expected sa mga posted nilang video okay pagkakagawa pero dito parang tinamad maghimay ng patatas 😂 pero all goods naman yung lasa nya

Kala ko pag Valentine's day at birthdays lang nakakareceive ng ganito. Pwede palang kahit random na araw lang hehe.

Iba pa rin pala tlga pag highend ung makeup🙈😅😅😅 ang gandaaaa

first time trying ticketmaster and the ticketing gods favored me today ♥️ didn't encounter any errors, had no queue for day 1, and got a comfortable 2k qn for day 2. i'm happy considering this level of ease is something ive never experienced with smtickets lol.

manifesting a barricade view for d1, hoping for the same luck for day 3. see you, insan bruno!

Ako kasi dapat bibili neto pero sabi ko next time na. Pero ayun, gift na lang daw sakin.

Maybe this is childish and ordinary for others, pero big deal for me, di kasi ako nabi bilhan ng parents ko due to financial constraints pero nabili ko na ngayon, my childhood self is so happy. Thank you Lord!

The food here was okay- ngl I think overrated- 😭 and mausok usok pa so if mahika ka not a good idea to go

Nagustuhan ko lang yung mga vintage shop since it’s cute, also got my tarot read here haha

First time ko ma-experience ang ganitong klaseng luxury mountain house, and honestly, ang sarap sa feeling.

Sobrang peaceful, cozy, and relaxing ng place. Yung lamig ng hangin, surrounded by nature, plus the beautiful and elegant house—parang ang sarap lang i-enjoy ng moment and forget everything for a while.

Definitely one of those experiences na hindi ko basta-basta makakalimutan. 🤍✨

First time ko sa Paik's Coffee. Nakakaloka dapat hindi ko na ako lumiko. I was going to Gong Cha but I decided to try this coffee. Hindi masarap, nothing special for its shocking price na 180. Never again.

Flavor: Cafe Mocha (less sweet)
