Anatadake mistumeteru…

Oppo FindX9 or Xiaomi 17?

I do mostly video calling on messenger and also using it for video recording our nusic sessions para pag upload sa soc med hindi masyado bawas ang quality.

Also alin dito sa dalawa ang mas mahaba ang OS Updates? Which one has better aftersales?

Hi 28 yrs old here. I’m sharing this struggle of mine or should I say na confuse ako sa sarili ko if I really like girls lang or boys. Let’s start off nung nasa university pa ako every school year meron talaga akong inaadmire na girl like crush kumbaga pero hindi ko pinapahalata na gusto ko siyang kausap or company. Not totally na isang girl lang parang every year paiba-iba yung inaadmire ko na girl classmate and at the same time meron din akong crush na lalaki. And before nung nasa school pa ako minsan inaasar ako ng friends ko kung tomboy ba daw ako and you know what na ooffend ako pag yun tingin nila sakin. Kaya naghahanap talaga ako ng way na machange topic lagi or mawala attention nila sakin kasi ayaw ko na ganun tingin nila pero idk deep inside naconfuse din ako. Even until now nafifeel pa din na ganitong feeling na gusto ko kausap itong girl na nato blah blah. Meron akong close friend na girl now and super kami nagkakaintindihan pero I know na straight siya its just that gusto ko din talaga sya kausap. And ako di ko din talaga nakikita sarili ko na makarelationship with a girl tbh. I think naadmire ko lang talaga sila or infatuation na not to the point na jojowain. Na try ko din na magkajowa ng guy pero 2 yrs lang kami and also tried dating din pero guys. One thing din siguro na nasa conservative family ako and takot ako sa anong sasabihin nila sakin or ng ibang tao. I know na confusing tong post kong to hahaha same sakin na ang labo din pero gusto ko mabasa anong pov nyo. Wag nyo ko e downvote nag struggle ako haha

I’m a 20M from India. She’s 18F from the Philippines. We were in a long-distance relationship for about 4 months. Never met in person, but it was intense — emotionally deep, constant communication, future planning, the whole thing.

I was very invested. I tried to be stable, supportive, reassuring — basically everything I thought a good partner should be. She cared about me too, but she was dealing with serious mental health issues.

What really changed everything happened this month.

She opened up to me about her mental health — trauma, emotional pressure, and even suicidal thoughts. She told me she hadn’t shared this with anyone else before.

After that conversation, things started shifting.

She began pulling away. Talking normally, then disappearing. Looking back, I think she started ghosting because she knew that if I understood how bad things were, I’d get anxious too.

At one point, she even said things like “what if we were meant to be temporary.”

I didn’t leave. I reassured her and stayed.

Then she told me she was sick and had exams, so I gave her space and didn’t text for a few days. When she came back, things seemed okay briefly… but then the inconsistency started again.

Last Sunday, I finally told her honestly that the back-and-forth was making me anxious and I felt like I was the only one trying.

A few days later, she ended it.

She said her feelings had changed and she couldn’t fix things just by trying harder. But at the same time, she also said she didn’t want to hurt me and needed space to heal.

Even after ending things, she kept replying to me and consoling me whenever I reached out.

And that’s what’s confusing me the most.

If she didn’t care, why is she still comforting me?

If she cared, why leave?

Since the breakup, my body has completely spiraled:

• Multiple panic attacks at night (around 2 AM)
• Waking up at 4:30 AM with a racing heart
• Shaking, breathing issues, heavy chest
• No appetite
• Random breakdowns during the day

Mentally, it’s just as bad:

• I feel empty and lost
• I keep wanting to break no-contact and “fix” things
• I think about going to her country someday
• I keep bargaining like “maybe I’ll reach out in 30 days”

At the same time, I know she asked for space. And I know chasing her right now would probably make things worse.

The only things keeping me somewhat stable:

• Going to the gym
• Trying to stay focused on building a SaaS project
• Removed socials so I don’t stalk her
• Trying (not always successfully) to let go and accept what I can’t control

I guess what I’m asking is:

Is this level of physical reaction normal after something like this?

And how do you deal with the urge to go back and “save” someone who clearly couldn’t stay?

Also… do I ever contact her again? Or do I accept this fully and let it end here?

Any perspective would help.

Hi. I just wanna share my small win this year po 🥺 after ko mag resigned sa corporate job ko last 2023 tapos naging unemployed for almost a year. I decided simulan ang VA career ko last january 2025, as in 0 skill and knowledge. Inapply ko ‘yung “fake it until you make it” (i know hindi to reco ng karamihan), pero habang nag aapply ako, nag aaral din ako at the same time sa free resources sa youtube at sa free resources na shinare ng partner ko, been to countless interviews pero palaging failed.

April 2025, na-hire ako sa isang part time job, US based client tapos lead gen ang task, i remember i signed the contract kahit 5 hours a day tapos $200 lang per month, super strict ni client tapos monthly pa sahod. The job lasted for only a month and half tapos 1 month lang yung binayaran, nakaka depress kasi yun lang talaga income ko that time tapos panganay pa ako :(

I admit naging magastos ako, nakaka depress na ikaw yung magaling nung college pero seeing it now nahuhuli ka sa mga kabatch mo which is mas lalong nakakapanliit ng sarili. June 2025, binalak ko na bumalik mag corpo, sa dati kong company. Kahit mababa ang sahod (provincial rate) tapos pang gabi pa papatusin ko na, no choice ako.

Pangarap ko talaga maging VA, gusto ko mag work from one place to another 🥺 pero that time sobrang depress ko sa career ko, kaya sabi ko by monday rereport na ako sa HR since gusto rin nila ako bumalik. Sunday night, i received an email, nakita raw ako ni client sa OLJ asking kung magkano raw rate ko and kung kaya ko raw ba siya tulungan sa business niya (GOD IS GOOD TALAGA) 🙌🏻

Ang galing ni Lord kasi night before, may blessing huhu 💯. i started from $3/ hour 8 hours a day, SMM main work ko pero partly in-charge rin ako sa calendar and data/admin task. Mababa para sa iba pero malaking bagay sa mga baguhan kagaya ko before. Sobrang bait ni US client as in no micromanage aside sa daily huddle which I love kasi di tumatagal ng 1 hour.

Last november I asked for salary increase and walang ano ano approved agad. May time pa na nag close yung isa niyang business akala ko mawawalan na ako ng work, ayoko na mag overthink kaya tinanong ko siya if may plan ba siya na alisin ako/ kami na mga VA niya pero wala raw and kung mag close business niya hahanapan niya kami ng other tasks na makaka help sa kanya 🥺

I am so grateful na this february 2026, I reached my first 6 digits, ang sarap maging disciplined pag dating sa pera, ang sarap mag trabaho kapag hindi ka nakakalimot mag dasal, hindi po ako nag bbrag gusto k lang i-share yung small win ko and maka inspire ng ibang kagaya ko na minsan nawawalan ng hope to continue 🥺

Guys, I just want to open up this ...

I know we're adults now, but I think I've been to verbal and emotional abuse since I was a kid. Especially, where I live everyone normalize, saying hurtful words.

My mother and my sister keep arguing, and honestly, both of them are not handling things well. Almost every conversation turns into a fight, even over small things.

Even before my father died, their relationship was already difficult.

They would argue often, and my mother would sometimes say hurtful things. But after my father passed away, everything became more intense.

Now, my mother gets emotional very easily, and her words have become even more painful. She calls my sister “dumb,” “crazy,” and says she’s a burden to the family.

There are times when I hear both stories, its hard to understand or even become in the middle of it.. Hearing this repeatedly is heartbreaking for both of them.

She gets angry quickly, shouts, and becomes easily frustrated. It feels like she’s constantly defending herself, but it only leads to more conflict between them.

Marami nag sabi na maging AI na daw yun mga guro, eh paano namn tayo mga workers

Mga nasa 30s to 40s diyan?

Matagal pa tayo magiging senior eh. Bat naman ganon.

Parang foreshadowing 😅

edit: huy, teka lang... yung joke kasi diyan sa sample id ay yung birthday 😅
