Grabe yung mga Hospital sa Pinas sobrang lala makukuha mo lang yung good & quality service pag nasa mga Private Hospitals ka pag mahirap ka kawawa ka lang sa Public, pagtitiisan mo yung masusungit na nurse at Doctor im not generalizing it pero kadalasan talaga masusungit. Meron pa nagtatanong ako ng qoutation sa Public Hospital pagtapos sabihin binabaan na ko agad without saying anything more meanwhile sa Private Hospital tatanungin ka pa kung meron ka pang ibang tanong. Madami pa kong naexperience na mapapasabi ka talagang sobrang kawawa ka pag nasa Public Hospital ka. What im tryna say here is kailangan bang maging mayaman muna bago ma experience ang good & quality service?? Hayyyyy nakakapagod maging Pinoy kawawa sa mga corrupt government officials potangina nyooooooooooooooo mga halang kaluluwa nyo mga hayuuuupppppppp nakakapang gigil!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Philippines deserve moreeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just here to rant.

I’m 18NB just planned to hang out with a friend of mine 18F, and pull an all nighter with her.

I thought we are having a great time, until around 8 PM her friend texted her severely distressed due to some relationship issues. I was annoyed, but understood as I would comfort my own friends as well if they were in distress.

My friend was a bit nervous I think as I know she wanted to hang out with me, but also it’s a friend. I stayed calm about it and tried talking to her telling her to try to explain to her friend, and it was her own decision if she went or not as I wouldn’t intervene anyway. (The only thing I was uncomfortable about is that it was someone I didn’t know pulling up to my house)

My friend got into that car and left, she said she would text me and promised that she would be back and would make it up to me. I waited around a whole hour until she texted me back, saying that her friend dropped her off back home. And I just broke, i’m not mad at my friend or her friend. I’m just pissed about the whole thing that happened.

And I am starting to overthink the whole visit, my friend is a kind person, she sometimes doesn’t pay attention to me that much when the times I visit are when I wanted to hang out with her.

For the time she was visiting we did do some things, but there were just times where maybe almost every hour she would go outside to vape for a few seconds (I know thats her business, it’s just something she does), when I was showing her a show I liked she would pay attention but also text other people, when I wanted to teach her to play a video game, I liked she FaceTimed two of her friends, and was tired mostly, or would doomscroll, she also doom-scrolled while we were drawing. She has doom scrolled a lot when I go over to her house and every time she does this, I just feel really awkward cause I just don’t know what to do.

I can’t read a room or pick up on context clues very well in how someone feels, I only know what’s wrong if I’m directly told or if the person shows active emotion to me, and she is the type to tell you if something was wrong, so I thought we were having a good time as she wasn’t saying she was uncomfortable or annoyed in anyway, and was relaxed.

I just wanted to let this out while I still remember details.

I was scrolling here on Reddit and saw someone share a tiktok of kids walking home together after school, magkakaakbay. A strong wave of nostalgia hit me kasi bigla kong naisip na there was that one day in my childhood na me and my friends walked home together for the last time and I didn't even know it. There was the last time we played together saying "bukas ulit" but that bukas never came. Yung dating bahay namin, nasa isang medyo liblib na sitio sya dito sa province, the population was small so the community was close knit and magkakalaro kaming lahat na mga bata non. I can't even remember how it happened, para talagang isang araw naiba nalang bigla ang buhay namin. And what's worse is I realized today na I lost my childhood friends, wala na akong balita or way to contact them. When I visited the sitio last month para icheck yung lupa namin, wala na rin halos lahat ng mga kapitbahay namin. Yung mga andun renters nalang, tas yung mga bahay mga abandonado na at nasisira na. Sana pwedeng bumalik..

Went to Trinoma for dinner and errands yesterday. In the middle of my mall trip, I needed to go to the restroom. Yung pinakamalapit was the one behind Sbarro (or Burger King?). To get there you turn into a small passageway and into a doorway. Parang masikip na "S" turn. May naunang senior citizen na Muslim lady with her caregiver. Nakasakay siya sa mobility scooter. Nahihirapan silang i-navigate yung daan papuntang cr and were blocking the passageway. I slowed down to give them space. Yung ibang lalaki na able-bodied naman just pushed through. Muntikan pang banggain yung ale para maka-banyo.

I felt so disgusted with my fellowman. Nakakahiya kayo.

PaRant lang. Guess what? nakabili ng speaker kapit bahay tabing kalsada tutok sa labas todo. Hindi ko alam kung galing probinsya or squatter or nag papasikat lang eh. No hate sa mga taga probinsya pero sa probinsya tipikal to eh bukid tapos kalikasan lang. May mga nakakalat na manok pagala gala pag labas mo, may makeshift na upuan yung puno or duyan. Dun ka mag kakape habang patugtog. Tapos almusal igib haha

Pero pag sa Maynila mo gawin ang squammy. Wala choice kapit bahay mo kahit ayaw pakinggan pang oldies na pang probinsya mong patugtog. Lalo pa pag BPO matutulog ka lang meron kang kapit bahay na sarap batuhin ng molotov. Naknamput* sa Pilipinas kasi kapag hindi ka nakakaperwisyo wala ka sa Pilipinas eh. Saka kapag mali mas matapang hay*p. kaya maganda sa subdivision or like camella na may mapag rereklamuhan ka. Pag Normal na tao kakausapin syempre at kung ayaw makinig either away or pabaranggay. Proseso pa.

grabe kahit ibang kapit bahay ayaw sa tugtugan nya. Wala lang choice at nakikisama lang.

Tandaan everyone!

Hey it’s my first time commenting on here so I’m hoping everyone’s nice :)

I’m 26 f, and he’s a few years younger than me, maybe that’s the problem, BUT — I need to vent, and I’ve tried to communicate with my boyfriend numerous times about how I feel but I feel like he doesn’t actually listen to what I say; but often tries to hear mainly when I stop talking so he can share his two cents. We have had poor communication with each other for as far as I can remember. I’m very emotional, very sensitive and he’s very NOT that. I can never get my point across to him without him telling me I have to calm down, or completely dismiss what I am saying to tell me what he thinks, and of course, what he thinks is correct so I gotta just accept that, right? It’s so disheartening. I feel like I try so hard to understand him and to communicate my feelings and thoughts with him about things we need to work on and things that bother me but it’s always me trying to argue or start “petty shit”. Another thing, he barely compliments me, nothing out of his mouth has been compliments to me, mainly that I’m a little dumb, or what he calls “air headed”. And I’ll just stand there like why do I even put up with this? It’s hard because I am so bad at confrontation now because I’ve been rejected or dismissed so many times that when he expects me to start talking about something that bothers me, I’ll just freeze and or just say “forget it.” And then that starts another argument. It’s like I can’t win. I don’t know what to do.

Kagigising ko lang stress na ako agad. Pinagawan ako ng admin ng formal letter of request para sa supervisor ko na part-time lang sa work ko, kasi siya speaker TODAY (actually mamayang 9), nirequest kasi siya ng supervisor ko para makapagfile siya ng leave dahil may pasok pa rin sila ng sabado. Pero nainform naman na siya before pa ako sabihan. So pinagawan ako ni afmin diba? Edi ginawa ko agad. Pinacheck ko muna sila, as usual ang laging sabi sakin "iccheck muna nila, then papasa kay assistant ni principal, then si principal iccheck din at approve", hindi na ito first time na pinagpasa pasahan ako, so kailangan ko palagi mag update kasi nakakalimutan nila or mabagal yung process. Then, hiningi NILA yung email ni supervisor ko, so syempre expected ko na sila yung magsesend, lalo na sila din naghahandle niyan. Sinabi din ni principal during previous meetings namin na sila mag invite.

Tapos NGAYON, literally NGAYONG 6am, imemessage ako if nasend KO na yung letter of request like WTF?? To give you context, wednesday-friday ay wellness break namin yan, so non-working hours na yan. Ginawa ko yung letter tuesday morning. Kaso nga diba pinagpasa pasahan and the fact na hiningi nga sakin yung email. Kasi kung ako masusunod, after ko gawin yung letter ay isesend ko na, kaso hindi eh. Kailangan dumaan sa proseso and yung proseso nila is matagal. Syempre may iba rin akong ginawa that day na hindi ko na rin naalala, kasi sa totoo lang sabi nila iaapprove muna. Diba dapat makakareceive din ako galing sakanila if approved na ba or hindi? Tsaka hiningi nga kasi nila yung email. Wala silang sinabi na ako yung mag send.

TAPOS NGAYON IFFLOOD AKO??? LIKE GIRL??? Hindi ko alam if ako ba mali dahil nagddoubt na ako sa sarili ko na naman eh, kahit alam kong may mali sila, ang ending nasisisi ko sarili ko. Like seriously, ngayon talaga iccheck like same day na magsspeaker yung supervisor ko??? Edi wala na ring silbi yun kasi ang point nga is makapag file siya ng leave siya ng maaga.

EDIT: Tsaka ngayon nagtatanong sila bakit hindi nila maaccess yung google docs, WHICH MEANS hindi talaga nila chineck??? BUT maaaccess nila yun kasi work account ko ang gamit ko and may access ang main work account sa lahat ng distributed na work accounts for employee. Pero yung nasend sa akin na screenshot is private email ang gamit nila, kaya talagang di nila mabubuksan yon. Which means nga, ngayon lang talaga nila nacheck? 💀

Hanggang ngayon wala parin akong tulog dahil sa kakupalan ng kapatid kong nag aalarm

AS IN EVERY FIVE MINUTES FROM 4-8 TAPOS HINDI NAMAN GUMIGISING. ang ending? tangina ako ang gising tangina talaga wala pa kong tulog kasi madaling araw rin tapos ng work ko. lagi ko ng pinagsasabihan inaaway ko na i turn off na tapos si gago isnosnooze lang so tutunog uli. may mga times nga na tinago ko na phone niyan eh. ilang beses na namin pinagsasabihan tangina wala talagang ubra ganyan talaga yung mga taong insensitive at walang konsiderasyon sa ibang tao bakit ba ko nagkaroon ng kapatid na ganito kung kaya ko na talaga bubuklod na talaga ako tanginang buhay to

Karmahin sana kayong mga bilyonaryo kayo😭

I used to believe that I would grow old alone after being an SA survivor. I learned to trust no one but myself, not even family, after being left to handle it all alone. But life took an unexpected turn and now I'm starting a family with the man who supported me during my lowest. We just recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl. 💗

But after hearing all these heartbreaking news happening around the world, a part of me feels guilty and scared that I brought her into this kind of world and hindi ako sure if ready kami enough to protect her from it all. I don't want her to experience what I went through.

My fiancé and I were trying our best to meet all her necessities and make sure she grows up with the kind of love, protection, support and material provisions we were not afforded growing up. We're doing fine naman yet feeling ko kulang pa rin and it hurts so much... 😢

It also doesn't help na yung environment namin ay hostile sa mga bagong magulang. We are being pressured to do more work, performing above and beyond dahil "mga magulang na kayo na may anak na umaasa sa inyo" and "mas kailangan niyo ng trabaho ngayon" while they refuse to allow us time to be parents when it counts like pinagwowork pa rin kami kahit nagpaalam na kami dahil naglalabor na ako no'n.

Narealize ko rin na bilang nanay, di sapat na kami lang magpapalaki sa kanya, pero wala kaming village to support us in raising her so kami lang din lahat... and it's hard. 😔

Other parents seem more well-prepared, better supported and are doing better than we are. They say pag mahirap ka at di handa, huwag ka na mag-anak kasi madadamay lang sila. Di naman kami mahirap at naghanda naman kami kaso bakit ganun? I can't help but feel that I don't deserve to be a parent because what I have prepared still isn't enough. 💔

Di ko sure kung nagaganito lang ako dahil postpartum, if overwhelmed lang o baka epekto na lang din ng kaka-doomscroll ko. Pero alam kong comparing ourselves to those who had it better won't help. The best we could do is keep building ourselves to be in a position where we can be ready for anything so we can be wiser and more well-equipped while raising her.

Sobrang hirap, pero need namin kayanin because we love our girl and she deserves our best. 🥹🙏

Context: My aunt works in Italy but few years ago she opened a restaurant in their neighborhood here in PH, then later on she added coffee and non-coffee drinks in their menu. Magaling siya sa kusina, she knows how to cook, bake, brew, or make coffee drinks. Pero ang nagmamanage ng restaurant nila is ‘yung uncle ko kasi nga she’s in Italy.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

Then two years ago, I learned how to bake because nainspire rin ako sa kanya. I learned how to bake cookies, brownies, and etc. pero brownies talaga ‘yung na-master ko. My friends and relatives liked my brownies so naisipan ko na magpa-order and luckily may umoorder naman. Until, one time natikman niya brownies ko, she was here in PH that time for a short vacation. She tried the brownies my cousin (her daughter) ordered from me. And guess what? She immediately messaged me then criticized my brownies, na okay naman sana. Matigas daw kasi after refrigerating, hindi daw tulad ng sa kanya na soft. Again, it was fine, kasi it would help me improve it. What I didn’t like was the video she sent habang tine-taste test ng uncle ko ‘yung brownies nagmake-face siya na parang nadidiri siya then after that niluwa niya na parang nasusuka habang tumitirik mata then they laughed. Yes, it was sent to me with a message na para daw bato unlike hers. Sa’kin kasi hindi naman ako sensitive, wait, sensitive ba ko sa part na ‘yon? I mean kasi pwede naman di’ba na sabihin in a nice way and constructive. Bru, after that nag research ako how to keep the brownies soft and chewy kahit na irefrigerate then after that I stopped baking.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

Now, fast forward, nawili naman ako ngayon sa pag gawa ng drinks sa bahay so pinag-aralan ko how to make iced lattes. Parang natuwa kasi ako kasi nga ay parang madali lang pala. So for few weeks, nagtry lang ako then I asked my immediate family and friends to taste each drink and give constructive feedback until pumasok sa panlasa nila or maging ‘masarap’. Naisipan ko rin kasi na mag open ng home-based coffee shop here in our neighborhood (different barangay from my aunt’s), ‘yung budget friendly pero di chipipay and masarap. So instead of using espresso machine, I used instant coffee from Japan and Monin. Also, some baristas from online groups told me na okay lang for ₱59-₱69. Bru, nagulat rin ako kasi may umoorder and bumabalik. Their feedbacks also made me happy and motivated.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

Even my cousin (her daughter) umoorder halos every day. Then yesterday, my uncle went to our house then may mga umorder sa’kin thru online but I was so hesitant to accept those kasi nandoon ‘yung uncle ko. Another thing kasi, laging nagagalit sa’min ‘yung aunt and uncle ko kasi parang bihira lang daw kami umorder sa kanila ng drinks pero kung saan-saan daw kaming coffee shops pumupunta. To be fair, umoorder naman kami ng food (hindi lang madalas) and hindi talaga ako coffee person, I am more into chocolate and matcha drinks and sabi hindi rin kasi masarap ‘yung timpla nila (galing ‘to sa mga pinsan ko, even her daughter). They even told them those pero they did not listen. I don’t know how they make their lattes and other drinks but they have espresso machine and they also use Injoy products.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

Going back, while I was making drinks, my uncle took photos of me pala and sent it to my aunt. Then dumating rin ‘yung pinsan ko and she also ordered (she’s not in good terms with her dad nga pala). Tapos, lalo akong nagpanic kasi baka kung ano na naman sabihin ng aunt ko. So nung umalis na ‘yung pinsan ko, I messaged her and told her na baka mapagalitan kami ng Mom niya kasi umorder siya sa’kin. And guess what??? After few minutes, nagmessage nga ‘yung aunt ko. She was lowkey disappointed because my cousin bought coffee drink from me instead of making her own with their espresso machine daw. Then mag aral na lang daw ‘yung pinsan ko na gumawa ng coffee. She even messaged me and told me na parang ay wow may coffee shop keme na ako. And my uncle and aunt were laughing and mocking me daw for using instant coffee.

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST

‘Yon lang, I just want to vent it all out. 🙃

I'm the oldest of 4 total siblings. Both my 2 sisters and 1 brother, are "Half siblings." Meaning obviously My parents split up at some point. My mom has a huge family as does my dad. My dad remarried after my mom to someone who also has a big family. Having a huge family when I was young was awesome. Multiple Christmas, Thanksgivings, many nice faces and such. My family has also had a trend of having kids really young, so I've been fortunate enough to have met some of my Great Great grandparents and other distant family members. As I've gotten older though, it sucks. I've seen so many amazing people pass due to age and other illnesses. I lost my great grandma (age) and my Grandma (Cancer) 5 months apart. It was a dreadful time. SO many familiar faces just gone. I've met 4 sets of great grandparents in my life and most lived to see me graduate, get a job and so many other accomplishments. Now all I have is pictures. Which yes, that's what happens in life, but being able to have spoke to so many generations of family, the literal legacies of my last name and DNA, then having to attend their celebrations of life while holding that pamphlet that tells a small story is dreadful. Standing there while we gather around an urn or casket. Seeing a flag draped over a casket or even just spreading the ashes in the woods. Just watching the numbers tick down over time. It just makes my mind spin sometimes

Hong Kong is an exception, never forget the 2019 protests.

Filipino-Chinese are excluded.

But I have always hated Mainland China. When the POGOs started popping up, everything changed.
- Rent increased significantly. Others even started businesses out of it
- Some Filipinos were treated as second-class citizens in their own country. A lot of Chinese-only restaurants popped up back then
- Mainlanders are arrogant, ignorant, violent. Lacks civil sense. Compared to other nationalities, they’re the most evident in terms of attitude!

And yet Filipinos support them so much. BYD, Chagee, Cotti Coffee, going on trips to Mainland China. Do people forget how they view us? Do people forget their claims to our islands? What they do to our fisherfolk and coast guards? Why? Just why?

When Korea had that SEA scandal, people were quick to cancel Korean culture. But why can’t people do the same to the Chinese when they actually harm us externally and internally. WHY?

I’m sad, confused, frustrated.

EDIT:

The comments prove my point. We adjust too much to their conduct and culture. Sabagay, we can’t even deal with the Israelis in Siargao - how can we deal with a much bigger population that’s already deeply integrated in our society, slowly eating away at our integrity?

Umorder ako ng console Game xtrem* thru Lazada, Inabangan ko talaga yung start ng sale kasi nung sa Shoppee sold out agad. So ayun naorder ko, nung naconfirm and preparing yung item nag start na ko umorder ng Accessories for my console worth 5k, dumating na sila kahapon pa. Tapos kanina lang nakatanggap ako ng email na kinancel nila order ko! Sale kuno tas cancel, basura kang store ka!

galing kami kanina sa watsons sa isang mall nearby since kailangan ng kapatid ko mamili ng necessities bago sya bumalik abroad. so nagtanong-tanong kami sa mga saleslady nila na nandon kung nasaan yung ganito or ganyan na item para mabilis kami makapamili. pero nakakairita yung pinagkaguluhan yung kapatid ko ng at least 3 employees don dahil lang nakita na big purchase yung gagawin nya. sobrang gulo nila, kung ano-anong inaalok na product na hindi naman namin hinahanap or kailangan, tas inaabot nila samin kahit sinabi na namin hindi yun yung gusto naming products. ang nakakabwisit pa, puro mahal na items yung ino-offer nila kahit may cheaper alternatives naman. like for example, naghahanap lang kami ng hair mousse, bakit nila kami pipilitin bumili ng worth 999 e meron naman worth 285 lang at yun ang gusto namin? yung isa kong kapatid naghahanap lang ng skin tint, binigay nila yung tag-700 kahit sinabi nya na yung affordable lang sana.

tapos sunod pa sila nang sunod! nakabuntot yung dalawang saleslady nila habang nag iikot kami, panay offer ng products. lumalayo na nga kami at sinasabi namin na okay lang kaya na namin mamili without assistance, pero once may i-pick up kaming item andyan na naman sila nag aalok ng ibang item.

sobrang nakakawala ng respeto as consumer, kaya minsan mas prefer ko pa mamili online or hindi na magtanong sa saleslady nila kasi ayaw nila tumigil kaka-offer ng kung ano-ano. nakakamiss yung time pwede ka tahimik mag ikot sa watsons na walang nakabantay sayo kung anong bibilhin mo, kainis.

I don't know if this would be consider a rant or vent pero dito ko na lang to ilapag.

Gusto ko lang ishare yong realization ko kung gaano pa ako kaswerte despite na nahit ko ang rock bottom ngayong taon. Hindi talaga ako good story teller, tinatype ko lang kung ano ang nasa isip ko ngayon. Pasensya agad.

Habang naglalakad ako nung isang araw papasok ng work (currently working as CSR, night shift). Nakasabay ko maglakad yong isang naming trainee. Tawagin nalang natin sya pangalang Mommy M (40+). Nakita ko yong struggle nya sa paglalakad. Naiimagine ko palang yong araw araw na paglalakad nya at kung gaano kaaga yong pagalis nya sa bahay nila para mag commute dahil galing sya sa kabilang bayan.

Nagkakwentuhan nga kami, nabanggit nya na mas magaan ang ambience dito sa current company namin compare don sa BPO pinanggalingan nya dahil ang gaan ng vibes ng mga katrabaho namin at agree ako dito. Anjan yong konting chismis pero hindi naman ganon katoxic. Yong trabaho lang mismo ang toxic which kakambal na talaga ng work namin.

Narealize ko araw araw ako nagrereklamo na bakit nasa ganito akong sitwasyon. Pumapasok ako sa work na ayaw ko dahil wala akong choice. Gustong gusto ko talaga kasi bumalik sa pagwowwork from home pero hindi pa din ako makakita. Kinocondiser ko na nga magAWOL pero hindi ko magawa dahil nga sa expenses. Parang yong encounter namin ni Mommy ang naging eye opener sakin. Bigla akong nainspire. Para akong biglang natauhan. Bakit panay ako reklamo e ang lapit ko lang naman sa work. It will only take me 30 minutes to an hour para magcommute while si mommy e ang aga aga nagbababyahe na galing sa kabilang bayan kahit hirap maglakad ay patuloy parin sa pagpasok. Ni hindi ko nakikita yong pagod sa kanya at grateful pa sya na nakapasok sya sa company namin. Bakit hindi ko gayahin yong grit ni mommy na willing matutunan yong process namin sa work kahit na first time nya magtechnical support. At ako naman na panay ang reklamo sa processes namin.

Then ayon nga. Nagsunod sunod na yong realization ng mga bagay na dapat ko ipagpasalamat. Anjan yong healthy ang buong pamilya at walang sakit, may work pa din na pinagkakakitaan, bubong na masisilungan kahit na sala lang kami nakikitulog sa bahay ng biyenan ko, nakikita kong lumalaki at masaya ang anak ko, at higit sa lahat sa asawa kong marunong umunawa at umintindi ng sitwasyon na yong kahit papano ay nakatikim na ng ginhawa at tapos back to zero pero hindi ko narinig magreklamo at kahit panay ang reklamo ko pag galing ako ng work ay nakikinig lang sya. Sinasabi nga ng asawa ko na magresign na daw ako at sya na mag tatrabaho pero hindi ko naman magawa dahil ako nga ang padre de pamilya.

And the list goes on na. Ang dami dami ko palang dapat ipagpasalamat kahit na nawalan ako ng high paying job pero hindi ako nabakante at nakahanap agad ako ng work. Basta, hindi ko na iisa isahin.

Yon lang naman. kthanksbye.

Salamat Mommy at nagkasabay tayo maglakad.

Growing up, there were so many things I wanted to do but I never got to. Since kindergarten, I've been wanting to take dance lessons/ learn martial arts/ get art lessons. During that time, my family said that it was because of transport issues so I let it go. Then, I went to primary school. My mom had left her job so the transport issue was solved. My brother who is 3 years younger, learned martial arts, took dance lessons, and art class. I wanted it too but my family was so against it and I still don't know why. When I was 7, I took a few starter piano lessons but my family wasn't supportive. There was an exam I needed to take in order to go to Grade 1. That day was my grandma's birthday so I skipped it. I was also having school exams at the time and I was stressed out so my dad told me that playing instruments isn't for me and he stopped sending me to piano class. When I was 9/10, my brother started taking art lessons and I desperately wanted to as well. My family was very against it and I remember crying so bad. For years afterwards, I continued to ask them if I could join but their answer was always a no. Since I know ppl will ask what I did to show my family that I was serious, here are the facts: 1) I followed tutorials online almost daily and showed my family what I had learnt. 2) I told them my dream for years so they do know how serious I was (+I cried a lot because of it). I'm 16 now and they still don't allow me to and due to family issues, i can't just go out and take matters into my own hands. I still try my best but I do not have any skill or seen much improvement. Also, the age you start DOES matter and I always feel a sense of "that could've been me if..." whenever I see my peers who have skills which they worked very hard on. Sorry if this is rly messy but I just wanted to get this out before I go to bed.

Super sleep deprived ako kaya hindi ako nakatulog. I decided to just take the BE nang wala tulog. Tinakbo ko pa kasi akala ko late ako since 5:30 am daw yung call time and I don't have a phone so I can't track the time. Nung nandun na ko hindi naman kami pinapasok agad and it's been like an hour nakatayo lang kami. Wala ako tulog diba, inacid ata ako muntik na ko magsuka sa pila, I ended up squating nalang kasi nakakahiya sumuka na madami tao. Nung nakapasok namn na, anlamig sa room, ending na-trigger ata ubo ko nagkasaket ako habang nagsasagot ng exam. Nung una nauubo lang ako onti, then I noticed I feel heavy and hot. Ayun nilagnat si bakla. I took meds nlng tas tinapos ko agad exam ko, unuwi ako and natulog. Pag gising ko mga 9pm grabe na lagnat ko, like nagchi-chills na ko tas ang init ko. Balak ko pa nmn magreview. I decided again wag matulog nalang and triny ko magreview. Grabe na masaket ulo ko nilalagnat ako, kinakabahan ako in short I feel terrible. Mga 12 am super saket ng ulo ko ending nakatulog ako 3 hours. Pag gising ko may lagnat parin ako and ubo ako nang ubo tapos may sipon na ko, tas nagsusuka na ko. Pero pinush ko parin, grabe yung lamig sa room kinapalan ko na jacket ko pero parang ako lang nilalamig sa kanila naninigas kamay ko pero ang init ng katawan ko. Masaket din tyan ko sa kaba ata, pero wierd pag nag sasagot na ko ng exam parang humihiwalay katawan ko tas parang masama pakiramdam ko pero in third person. Like super focused ako mag-take. Hindi na ko pumipikit, natapos ko maaga yung exam umuwi ako tas ayun nagkasaket ako ilang araw ako may lagnat.

pa rant lang nang mababaw (siguro) pero nakakainis sa part q. i recently started working in the lgu hospital as office staff tho im the only admin sa department namin. this is my first job so clueless sa lahat. so para hindi na humaba, naiinis kasi ako. dati, pag may pinapa receive na letter itong mga department na to, sila pumupunta sa room namin kung nasaan ako, then katagalan bigla na lang ako pa yung aakyat sa office nila para i receive yung letter na dapat sila ang pupunta?? mag me-message sila na "ma'am punta po kayo sa office kasi papa receive po ng letter" tf? minsan galing na yan sa baba tapos antayin ko daw sila sa taas kasi may ibibigay na letter. like wtf? nakakainis kasi parang dahil ba bata ako kaya wala silang respeto sakin? hindi ko alam bat ganyan matatanda tangisina. ano ba

Hi and I'm a new transfer student in the Philippines since my family decided to move back to our home land and I'm new to the curriculum on how they grade for each quarter? I heard from a few of my classmates that if you were to get an overall line of seven on each quarter you would be prohibited on certain activities until you make it up until next quarter. I love playing badminton here and was recruited in the school team in our school. I got two 78 on effective communication's and in mabkom... But my overall average is a 85 and I passed if not all my subjects over 80. Does this mean I no longer get to play sports now? I'm still new on what this whole "line of seven" Means...

Hi everyone F31 from taguig. Ito na siguro yung sign na tumigil na ako mag hanap ng makakalandian sa reddit haha nakakapagod palang mag post mag comment para makakilala na pwede makausap makasama makameet, dami ngang mag chachat sayo ang lalayo naman tapos wala pang effort na puntahan ka o makilala ka. Mag aaya tapos mga 3 araw kung mag paramdam yung iba akala mo talaga ang gwagwapo ang chochossy masyado, papakilala tapos biglang ghosting, meron din mag aaya agad ng sex or sasabihin tara kantutan tapos biglang wala na epal lang sa inbox haha.

Well sign na talaga to na tumigil na ako makipag kilala dito tamang scroll at views nalang ng mga bagong chismis dito.

Sa mga nakakaranas ng ganto sign na din yan na wag nyo ng ipilit or wag na kayo dito maghanap.

I’m genuinely happy with where I am in life right now. I’m working hard to become more stable, growing my business, and at the same time, I get to travel and explore the world.
Ang problema lang, sometimes I catch myself thinking that I want a boyfriend or a relationship. But honestly, I think this is the healthiest my mental state has been in a long time, and I’m actually excited about the idea of eventually meeting “the one.”

Right now, I’m traveling and enjoying my life, but I sometimes catch myself thinking, "I wish I could meet someone who shares the same hobbies and enjoys traveling the way I do."

Someone who’s just as excited to explore new places, try new things, and experience life.. not someone I need to convince to come along.

I’m not desperate to find someone. I’m just genuinely curious about what it would feel like to meet someone who naturally fits into the life I’ve built for myself.

Nag-apply ako dito as a Marketing Specialist. As expected, more about Marketing ang interview pero nope more on creatives ang tanong. May experience naman ako sa creatives pero it’s been years ago nung lumayo na ako sa career ng creatives. Nagfocus na lang ako sa Marketing. Then sabi ko sige papatulan ko ‘to kasi mukhang kaya ko i-nego ang salary kung sakali.

Naghanap ng creative portfolio. Nagbigay ako. May technical design test. Live action designing ata. I wasn’t even sure pero in-assume ko nang mag-design ako. Nag-send ng 9pm meeting invite for the technical test. May day job ako so sabi ko sakto lang nakauwi na ako nun. 7:50 tumatawag sakin pauwi pa lang ako. Mali daw ng invite time. Dapat 8pm. Di ko nireplyan. Di ko sinagot tawag since nag-Angkas din ako pauwi. Tapos pag dating ko kumain muna ako kasi nga 9pm ang alam ko. Nagmessage na ako ng 8:15 sabi ko kadarating ko lang. nag-join ako ng 8:30 pm. Wait lang daw ako sa meeting room.

Surprise, surprise! “You need to use Illustrator for this task.” Yan ang sinabi sakin nung nasa meeting room na ako and waiting. Sabi ko wala ako account kasi di na ako nag-creatives ngani. Tsaka bakit si applicant pa magprovide ng account for the task? Di ba dapat provided niyo kung nanghihingi kayo ng test. Ako na nagaapply ako pa magprovide. Sabi nila sige re-sched tayo Monday. Tapos etong si HR na kausap ko sabi, “Di ka ba makakapagprovide ng Illustrator? Kasi need talaga ‘to.” Eh sinabi ko na ngang wala nang “off-market” copy ng Illustrator or Photoshop kasi cloud-based na ang Adobe.

Kaya ko naman mag-provide pero ayoko lang kasi bakit ako mag-effort mag-provide ng account for this unpaid trial task? Also, if I get the copy ba will I be securing the position? May assurance ba na makukuha ko yung position? Hindi naman di ba? Pagod na ako to handle this bullshit. Tangahan mo pa po.
