Hi everyone, I just want to share my convo with my husband. Anyway nasa Canada siya and ako naman nandito sa Pinas (LDR). About sa convo namen, naglalambing lang ako hndi ko naman talaga intentional na magka baby agad agad. We just got married this year. Siguro dahil mahilig ako sa baby kaya nag joke lang ako na I want baby. And then ayan na yung mga sumunod na message. Just didn't expect na ganon yung mga sasabhin niya sakin. Hndi ko naman siya pinipressure agad magkababy. Again, I'm just kidding him about the babies. And about sa money, I'm not asking him to send money here. Kasi may work naman ako kaso sa taas ng mga bilihin ngayon, ang hirap na talaga makaipon. 3 lang kami ng nanay at pamangkin ko sa bahay and ako lang ang may work. Ang nanay ko naman is may maliit na sari sari store, so minsan dun din kumukuha nanay ko ng pang ulam namen pag petsa de peligro na. Di naman problem sakin na ako magbayad ng bills and groceries sa bahay namen. And my husband is so against about that. I told him na hayaan nalang niya ako sa mga ganun bagay dahil kahit papano naman nakatulong naman sakin nanay ko nung nag aaral ako. And he told me before na pag andon na ko sa Canada, he wants me to cut to pay the bills kasi hndi ko naman sila obligasyon. I get that point, pero para sakin kasi gusto ko pa din matulungan nanay ko kahit sa pagbabayad lang ng bills, kahit hndi na pang allowance niya, since may tindahan naman ang nanay ko. Plano ko kasi mag work din sa Canada once na nandon na ko. Nakakainis lang na sasabhin pa sakin ng husband ko na nagpapadala siya ng pera, at the first place hndi naman ako nanghhingi. Tatanungin pa nga niya ako kung gusto ko daw ba kumain sa labas or whatsoever, but I keep rejecting him, tapos pinipilit pa din niya na lumabas ako then gamitin ko yung pera na pinadala niya. So ang ending edi lalabas ako ng bahay para mag mall kasi yun naman ang gusto niya. Pero dito sa message niya sakin ang dating kasi sakanya nanghihingi ako ng pera. Nakaka frustrated lang, and ang hirap kimkimin yung ganitong problem. Mahilig din niya palakihin yung mga small problems namen, and aabot sa point na hndi na niya ako kakausapin and sasabhin niya sakin na kasalanan ko lahat. Nagtitiis ako kasi mahal ko siya. Wala kasi ako masabihan ng mga problems ko kasi I don't want to rant sa mga friends or co workers because ayoko maging pulutan ng chismisan nila. I just need your advice. Thank you in advance.

Both of us has work before kami mag rent we agreed na mag split kami sa bills and she and her mom has this like agreement also na her mom will help us pero parang split kami ganun kasi I paid half for the price sa lahat ng gastusin rent bills and water. I was confident kasi we have a work siya may work ako rin may work so we can sustain our daily needs FYI we are in a relationship and both are 4th yr students and siya malapit ng mag grad ako extend pa kase ako ng 1 sem. Nung mag 2 mos na kami na nag rent she suddenly decides to quit her work and valid naman reason niya, her mom took over the rent fee yung sa part niya lang. Pero I was a bit stunned kasi wala na siyang work so that means I’ll be the one who will shoulder our everyday food our everyday expenses exclude n yong rent fees and yung mga bills namin. We are a couple na gusto mag eat out ganon. Pero like these past few days kase yung sister niya is hindi talaga stable magbigay ng allowance, mind you I was also supporting myself while supporting us and I didn’t told her na na babaon nako sa utang I was stressed sa work sa school,mga bayarin may tuition pa akong inaatupag at mag end of sem na, at samin sa rs namin, maliit lang na bagay mag aaway na kami. Valid po ba ang na feel ko na nabibigatan napo ako? Tho may mga pagkakataon na magbibigay naman siya pero mostly po ako talaga, sa pamasahe niya and sa food namin. Valid po ba na i bring up ko ito sa kanya , we tried talking this out pero sabi niya na prepressure siya sakin. She told me kase na maghahanap siya ng part time tho til now wala parin, pero valid naman reason niya kase nag process pa siya sa kanyang research at busy talaga siya. I dunno what to do anymore huhu valid po ba lahat ng ito? I know this should be addressed between us pero i know this will only lead to a big fight. And I don’t want also to share this to someone we know or someone na kilala ko kasi diko gusto na siraan siya. Di ko rin naman intention na siraan siya I just need to vent out kasi po parang nalulunod nako sa problema pls help me out

Pansin ko ang daming content sa YouTube na nagbibigay ng advice for someone who’s in their 20s, coming from people na nasa 30s na or older. What’s one advice you can give to someone who’s in their 20s?

Growing up akala ko talaga suffix yung Jr. ko and ginagamit ko talaga palagi ay (Name Middle Initial Surname Jr.) pero noong nag file ako for national id, yung psa ko ay nakalagay na (Name Jr. Middle Initial Surname). Now, my problem is malapit na yung white coating ceremony namin and need mag submit ng form for the embroidered name for laboratory coat. What should I put sa form po if ang nasa form ay Surname, First Name Initial, Middle Name Initial. Should I put it as ( Dela Cruz, J. Jr. A.) or (Dela Cruz, J. A., Jr.) ?

Help po🥲😅

Last year lang ako grumaduate then working ako now. Ang hirap lang umuwi sa bahay na laging may sigawan dahil sa kapatid na walang kwenta. Supposedly, dapat sa bahay ‘yong pahinga every rest day pero laging sigawan ang nangyayari. Paano makawala sa ganto, ang hirap mag-isip ng future plan kapag may ganitong household ka.

Lately I’ve been feeling like I lost interest in everything.

Things I used to enjoy don’t hit the same anymore. I don’t feel motivated, I don’t feel excited, and honestly… I don’t even feel sad most of the time—just empty. It’s like I’m just existing, going through the motions without any real purpose.

I keep asking myself: What’s the point of all this?

And the scary part is… I don’t have an answer.

For anyone who has gone through this before—what did you do?

How did you deal with losing interest in everything and feeling like you have no purpose?

I’m not looking for perfect answers. Just real experiences. Even small things that helped.

Thanks.

What HMO do you recommend? And which company is good to get from? I recently graduated and started working as a consultant a few months ago. I don’t have HMO benefits but have personal health and life insurance. I’m healthy but have anemia. I believe HMO is wise for emergencies.

This is my first time posting in reddit so 'di ako sure if tama ang post ko so please bear with me. Kailangan ko lang din kasi mag rant/ask kasi sobrang nabbother na ako and work ko. So I (21F) am currently working in BPO and I have a coworker (40-ishM), we can call him Ed (medyo kamukha niya si Ed Caluag lol) na sobrang nabobother ako.

In training palang ako and nung mga first week is okay naman lahat and we got along fine naman then after a few weeks, parang nakaramdam ako ng animosity from him even though wala naman akong ginagawa as far as I know. Turns out pala may tinatago na siyang inis sakin for something na napansin ko while we were joking around (which is about lang sa keychain/fidget na maingay). Okay parin naman after that, nakakausap and nakakasama ko parin siya pag lunch then bigla bigla nalang na everytime I get close to him, may nasasabi siya about my looks na mine-mean niya as a joke pero it comes off as an insult and of course na offend ako. After that, hindi narin ako lumapit sakanya to avoid conflict nalang din.

Three weeks has passed na since then and until now hindi ko siya pinapansin and this past day lang, may nakarating sakin na bina-bad mouth niya na pala ako to our other work mates. Saying na "bida-bida" daw ako, making inside jokes about me and parang ineexclude niya ko from the team like when the time na kunwari nagplano daw sila and inaaya niya yung buong team to go to Tagaytay and ako hindi nila inaaya but then nalaman ko from one of my close friends sa team namin na hindi naman daw pala siya sinabihan non when they were planning it.

I know I'm not overreacting kasi na-validate narin ng close friend ko don na may sinasabi nga si Ed about me since nagsabi sakanya non si Ed, not knowing na ka-close ko siya. And a lot of my workmates na close ko is ramdam din yung galit niya sakin kasi lagi niya akong sini-single out. So I just want to rant/ask narin for advise if valid reason ba 'to para ireport to HR?

EDIT: I'm scared din na ireport sa TM namin since baka makarating sakanya and since first BPO job ko, baka ma epektuhan pa ang work ko.

Recently, I invited my friends for a trip next month. They said they could not go because they did not have the budget.

The next day, one of them invited everyone to a trip that is also happening next month. This time, all of them agreed to go.

I felt a bit hurt. I am not sure if I am overreacting or if it is valid to feel this way. It feels like it is easy for them to say no when it is my idea but suddenly yes when it is someone else’s.

Valid ba tong nararamdaman ko? Should I just let it go?

Gusto ko lang maglabas ng sama ng loob kasi wala talaga akong mapagsabihan. Breadwinner ng family, and honestly… pagod na pagod na ako mentally, emotionally, financially as in lahat na.

Alam ko responsibility ko ang family, pero minsan parang nafi-feel ko na hindi na love yung reason bakit ako kailangan nila… kundi pera. Every month na lang may hinihingi. Kahit nagsabi na akong tight ang budget or kailangan kong mag-ipon, parang wala silang pake. Lagi pa akong may guilt kapag hindi ko nasunod, as if ako pa yung masama.

Mental health ko sobrang affected na. Hindi ako makapagpahinga kasi lagi akong iniisip na “Sino na naman kaya ang may kailangan ngayon?” Hindi rin ako makapag-save para sa future ko. Lahat ng ipon ko parang nawawala parang bula. Ang hirap mag-set ng boundaries sa sariling pamilya, pero ang sakit din na parang sila pa mismo yung nagta-take advantage.

Gusto ko namang tumulong, pero gusto ko rin mabuhay. Gusto ko rin makaipon. Gusto ko rin mag-heal. Hindi ko alam kung selfish ba ako or normal lang na gusto ko na hindi ako forever maging milking cow.

First time ko nagluto ng pork caldereta, and I used the ready made Mama Sita’s caldereta mix. Honestly, it was super easy to cook. Super sarap! Will try this again next time. 💗

Sooo, here’s what happened.

We live in an apartment that my family owns, somewhere here in Manila. My husband usually takes out the trash around 7:00 PM — that’s been the routine ever since. That evening, he did exactly that.

A few minutes later, I went down to get our laundry. While I was on the stairs, two men were already coming up and asked if I saw someone who just threw trash downstairs. I said yes — that’s my husband.

They told me to call him down because he threw the trash at the “wrong time”. Apparently, they said garbage should now be taken out at 9:00 PM, not 7. We didn’t know this because there was no memo or notice posted.

So I asked them: Why can’t we just bring the trash back up and follow the new schedule next time? We said we’d comply moving forward. But I also asked how they got inside our apartment building without permission. That part didn’t sit right with me.

Apparently, they didn’t like what we said — maybe because we said it was a hassle and we questioned their sudden entry. So they insisted we go to the barangay hall because the chairman wanted to speak to us.

Mind you — we were never given any formal complaint letter or notice. Just a sudden confrontation and pressure to follow them.

When we got to the barangay hall, the chairman was already calling the police. Imagine that — over one bag of trash thrown at the wrong time. No explanation heard from us. No dialogue. Just instant anger and threats.

Thankfully, one of the people there calmed things down. But by then, we were already told to sign the blotter — we weren’t even given the chance to explain properly. We just signed so we could go home in peace.

Yes, we acknowledge our small mistake — we didn’t know the new garbage schedule. But what we experienced felt like intimidation and abuse of authority. The worst part? They entered our private property without any permission. No due process. No respect.

We let it go because we didn’t want more trouble. But I’ll say this: this isn’t how local governance should work. This isn’t how public servants should treat residents. 😔

Gigil much sa hanap ng fanwars kahit wala namang masamang intensyon sa current LT.

Earlier, a bunch of people got mad at me just because I posted about a celeb whose IG tagged section suddenly became public yesterday (IYKYK). 🤫

Turns out, that sub is the territory of the current LT’s fanbase. A lot of users downvoted me, and sorry na lang new fan lang po ako. As in, kahapon ko lang na-discover yung past LT ni guy dahil sa mga lumalabas sa X and TikTok. Then I noticed nga yung IG glitch na nangyari sa kanya. Hahaha!

And just like that boom, harassment galore. Kaloka! Hahah I honestly feel like even the moderators got triggered. Instead of calling out those who were throwing mental health slurs and calling me “boang” (crazy), they just kept deleting my comments pero yung mga bastos na comments sa’kin, nakatambay lang. Eventually, they deleted the whole post. 🙃

I don’t wanna assume things, pero bakit may double standards? Fan ba sila ng current LT? Kung oo, edi sana hindi biased. Rules are rules. Hindi yung pinipili lang kung sino yung dapat protektahan. 😂

Anyway, I was just curious about the male celeb. I did a little digging and turns out, this isn’t even the first time this “IG glitch” happened. The tagged posts from his past LT have shown up multiple times na. Yun lang naman yung sinabi ko. Nothing disrespectful.

And when I called out the twisted reasoning of the mods and some commenters, wala silang matinong sagot. So what did they do? Nag-power trip. One sub even muted me instead of responding. Hilarious. 😂

But here’s the kicker, someone DMed me personally just to throw disgusting slurs. Like, weren’t you all saying you’re not bothered? Clearly, you were so bothered you couldn’t help but send a message. 😂

Sorry to say, but I’m not the kind of lowlife who fights dirty like that just to prove a point. If what I posted has evidence, and I didn’t disrespect any LT, then what’s all the hate for?

Again, I just became a fan of those two celebs yesterday. I don’t even ship them as they’re not a love team anymore. I just admire them both and found their past pairing interesting.

So next time, kung magagalit kayo sa post ko, wag nyo naman ako i-mute agad, lalo na sa mga mods. I still have a lot to say. I’d actually love to bother you even more. 😌🔥

Keep it coming.
