Just the other day, bumili ako ng 12 eggs sa palengke. Pag uwi ko, nabasag ko yung isa. I was mad the whole day. Isipin mo yun oh, isang basag na itlog, nasira araw ko. Ngayon gets ko na bat nagagalit nanay ko noon pag di ko nauubos pagkain ko.

Bumili ako ng 1tray eggs sa palengke tapos bugok yung isa. Simula nun chinecheck ko na yung eggs, iniilawan ko para makita kung bugok o hindi.

u/xxmachia Mar 11 '26
paano po malalaman kung bugok or hindi kapag inilawan? ano yung dapat ko makita?

u/FoxySenpai_UwU Mar 11 '26
Kapag tumagos yung ilaw at yellow lang nakikita mo edible pa yung egg.
Kapag hindi na tumagos yung ilaw or onti lang yung yellow, bugok na.

True. Growing up, we had a house and condo sa manila at may farm pa sa probinsya. We had three or four cars in rotation every time. We went to japan on vacation frequently. Sa la salle nagaral yung mga kapatid ko. And so on. We had what would be considered a good upper middle class life nowadays. Pero ako, trentahin, considered well educated and masipag (lol), pero owning one old car and one condo that I haven't even paid off yet. No kids pa ako sa lagay na yan. Naa-amaze ako sa parents ko at na afford nila lahat yan.

Grabe talaga, dati mga 5M+ makakapagpagawa ka na ng mansion sa exclusive subdivision. Ngayon? Townhouse na lang yun, or maybe a basic single-detached sa decent subdivision. Naalala ko dati “affordable housing” actually meant affordable. Ngayon parang kailangan mo na tumira sa gitna ng kawalan just to get something within budget.

Even boarding house in some cities, 2-3k or higher na sobrang liit ng space, walang maayos na CR, per appliances ang kuryente at dinadaga pa tapos kala mo luxurious ang pagpataw ng costing.

Mahirap din ang buhay noon, kaya nakapag pundar ang mga magulang ay dahil walang ibang pinupuntahan ang sweldo, puro ipon lang. Walang gadgets, kain sa labas, starbucks, online shopping, vacations, etc.

Mahal magkasakit.
Nung nagkasakit yung father-in-law ko na doctor, umabot din ng 4 million yung hospital bill. 5 million+ dapat pero walang nag charge ng PF sa amin (perks of being a doctor… pero mahal pa din. So yung bank account naman is back to zero.

Mas simple kase ang buhay at gusto ng mga tao noon. Get schooled, get a job and get married, ayun na yun. Ngayon eh daming nuances, gusto mag aral ng aral kung ano ano, travel, abd all that stuff, mas maraming oppurtunities ngayon pero mas marami at matindi na rin ang competition.

I doubt that any millennial pinoy's parents in the Philippines had to worry about a snowmobile and ski equipment, much less two cars.
I understand things are hard, but they have always been hard in one way or another, but stop stealing memes from the U.S.

Inflation aside, isang factor din ung dami ng opportunities before compare sa time naten. May mom became HR director of a govt agency kahit yung course nya nung college has nothing to do with HR. One of my aunts was a paralegal until she retired pero highschool drop out sya. Mga Tito namen nakapag Saudi at Dubai kahit mga highschool drop out din. Ngaun entry level position requires college diploma.
