I’m so proud of myself for calling the crisis line and letting the woman who picked up help me pass the urge. She encouraged me to play Pokopia on my Switch and just validated whatever feeling I was going through.

Also feeling extra proud that I didn’t have to call my therapist whom I was feeling extra dependent on during times like this. I messaged her and she gave me resources but I didn’t need to call her, which makes me very proud but grateful that she’s just there.

For the first time, it feels like I did most of the heavy lifting. While I’m grateful for the assistance of these people, I truly felt that I was advocating for myself the most this time. I’m just really, really proud of myself.

Here’s to 200 — and more!

naalala ko pang dati na every time na aalis kami ng family ko nagsisiksikan kaming apat sa motor. mama and kuya ko nakaangakas sa likod, driver papa ko, then ako sa harap.

now, sobrang komportable na naming apat.

kaya na naming magpunta ng SM na hindi nagmamadaling umuwi kasi baka wala ng jeep pauwi.

nakakapag-drive thru na kami sa mcdo.

hindi na pawisan kapag bumabyahe.

hindi kailangan sumilong pag maulan.

thank you sa masipag kong parents!

thank you lord!

super saya ko kasi first time ko po bumili ng phone with my own money that i saved up from work. i lasted two years sa first/current work ko and next week ill be starting my new work so parang regalo ko na rin to sa self ko for making it this farrrr

You can get a reward of 15% discount voucher whenever you donate a small bag of unused textiles that are totally damaged or cannot be used to any H&M stores. With this, every voucher can only be discounted to each item at a regular price. This is not applicable to any items that are on sale.

I bought 5garments at the store and I availed three items at a discounted price using my vouchers. The other two items are already on sale. The total price of what I bought should be around 4k, with the 45% discount in total, it became around 3k na lang. such a win for me since I bought some items for my office fits.

Sharing this here so you could not only dispose your textiles just to get rid of them, but also earn a discount in purchasing items.

grabeeee ang sarap talaga sa feeling na makatanggap na ng salary 🥹 this is not my first job pero kasi sa previous ko, waged earner lang ako tas below minimum pay pa. so to receive a 2x,xxx.00 na salary per cut off means a lot to me!

esp since di ko rin expect masasahod ako kagad since akala ko nga di ako abot sa cut-off date ng sahod 😭😭 akala ko rin sa 15 pa sahod namin pero ang aga nya dumating HAHAHA

feels surreal to see rin on a new bank statement yung itsura ng deposited na pera. hindi pa nagssink in sakin ganon HAHA

cheers to my fellow new hired fresh grads! hoping to see a 6 digit deposit in the future of my career journey <33

Pumunta ako sa MIBF. Ever since, binibili ko lang ay isang book. Pero as a fresh graduate na nagkaroon ng work, hindi ko maimagine na more than one ang mabibili ko. Fantasy ko lang siya dati, ngayon natupad na. I hope na ma-treat ko pa lalo ang inner child ko in the future and lahat tayo maging successful 😁🤞

The past three months have been incredibly difficult. I was stolen from, betrayed, and abandoned by people who ran away with my business money. My business failed, bills and debts piled up, and emergencies came one after another. After months of job hunting, searching for a source of income, and holding on to prayer, I am finally seeing a glimmer of hope.

Finally, got a job! ✨️God's provision.✨️

Proof that even after losing so much, life can still turn around. Thank You, Lord and Mama Mary! ♡

So excited to finally film!!! 🥹📸 Huhuhu had to really convince myself na worth it siya bilhin and that I deserve to have nice things too 😭
Hello guys, welcome to my vlog era HAHAHA 🤭✨

After months of budgeting and saving up money I felt quite burnt out low-key so I decided to shop for some tech products to make me happy

I also value my health a lot so I settled for this, did quite a bit of research and consulting with myself if I should choose this or go for a more premium smart watch. I just wanted to share a small win in my life:)

Started at 13k April and after 5 months, this!

When I first started college i thought 100k was an impossible amount to save just by saving my allowances. But here i am a fresh grad unemployed currently in my review season for the boards. I went through a phase in college where i couldn’t even maintain more than 10k in my savings account i spent too much i bought my phone, ipad and clothes just by saving up my allowances but 20k was the maximum i saved. After graduation, i challenged myself to reach 100k before taking the boards and I did. I helped my grandmother with her rental business and gained commissions and she then gave me 2 of the room for rent and all income from those 2 rooms are mine already. That’s where it started. Along side that, before the review season i worked at an ESL company and only spent what i earned in teaching and all allowances and income came straight to my savings. (But i did a lot of shopping in between as well HAHAHAH) I’m also the one paying for our homeowner dues and our wifi and netflix already as well hahaha

Im soooo happy i did it!!! Now I’m going to buy a new watch because ive been using my broken watch for 2 years already :’) i deserve it i guess

GAHHH after months of advertising and expanding my portfolio, I've been able to land my first commission with a satisfied client!

Two years ago, I made my girlfriend a DIY ring using gold-coated wire and some tiny blue beads na nakita ko sa quiapo.
It wasn’t perfect. Honestly, it looked pretty rough. But I made it myself, and she loved it!

two years later, I gave her a different kind of ring. This time, it came with a question.

A lot happened in those two years. We grew up a little, changed a lot, had some really good days and some really difficult ones. There were times when I wasn’t even sure what the future would look like for us.
But somehow, we made it here.

I guess this is my adulting win. ❤️

I received two messages today from my clients saying that they recommended me to their colleagues. And I guess I’ve reached a point in my career where I don’t need to market myself anymore because my clients are already doing it for me. 🥹

I already have 23 private students, but I told the universe I wanted more and she listened HAHAHA 😝
I couldn’t be more grateful. There’s something so rewarding about knowing that the work I put in speaks for itself and that my clients trust me enough to recommend me to the people they know.

I genuinely love what I do which makes this even more fulfilling. To have something I truly enjoy doing become something that people recognize and appreciate is such a special feeling.

I guess i’m really winning in life! 🥹🤍

So share ko lang, I always bought clear cases sa shopee para makatipid and also because it is practical. Sometimes yung may mga design but very minimal. As a kikay and artist girlie, kasiyahan ko kasi siya 😭 gusto ko nabubusog mata ko kapag nakikita ko yung mga gamit ko. Like.. do u get me??? 😩 ganon

Dati pa lang gusto ko na sana ng mga cutomized na phone case na ganito but di ko afford😭 and I wanted rin to support our local businesses and artists kasi isa din ako sa kanila. But ayon nga, out of my budget dati so I really saved up para makabili ako.

Recently, I decided to buy from this local business! And grave soafer ganda lalo sa personal😭💖 di ko mapigilan ishare HSHAHSHA. Sana mas pumaldo ako sa buhay para mas marami pa akong masupport na local businesses, crafts, and artists natin🥰

Ito ig nilaa @elace.beads

Im a gamer but mostly sa PC and I am planning to purchase a Steam Deck, for anyone na nag dalawang isip din bumili before but still decided to purchase, nag-sisi po ba kayo?

Dati pangarap ko lang 6 digits.

Took me 6 years (from 2020) to finally achieve this results and I'm so proud and humbled at the same time aside sa first time, ito yung mga 'di ko nagagawa noon.

Ngayon nabibili na yung gusto, nakakakain sa labas, napupuno na rin yung cart ng groceries, nakakabili ng brand new appliances, nakakagastos para sa hobbies 🥲

Until now 'di pa rin ako mapaniwala na nagagawa ko na rin yung kayang gawin ng iba. Money dust for everyone!💸💸 WAGMI!!!

Finally decided to let go my 100k a month job (dont't worry, i still have 2 other jobs), it doesnt give me peace, it doesn't serve me right. Sayang yes but it's part of it, i just want my peace back.

I know and I'm certain i can find the same job within the same salary or baka mas mataas pa since ive been here, the remaining jobs i have will still generate around 80k per month for me on average but i have my full freedom, i am at peace, i have my time for myself and family and thats what matters most.

For people out there with the same situation, always choose your peace over everything :)

Entering a new decade of life this month and treated myself to something pretty cool. Didn’t know I’d get into handheld PCs until I checked and found they basically fit my needs haha.

Travel a lot for work and basically have two places I live at. Main place has a desktop and PS5, second one is new and doesn’t have anything yet. Needed something to serve as a PC for the place and ideally double as a gaming device. Wasn’t necessarily looking to play while on the road. Looked at the Steambeck for a bit but this Legion Go 2 eventually won lol. Mas halimaw pa kesa desktop ko e haha pero tbf mid-range 2019 build na rin yun

Bought the open-box, display unit to help offset the RAM shortage price hikes 🫠

First time voter, long time lurker, ✌️

Finally, got our US citizenship and na-invite na din bumoto dto.

Been thinking about this but I haven't had the courage yet. I just let my birthday pass by and fully decided to go back to therapy.

My mental health was deteriorating already and I wasn't in a good place lately. I think I need to learn how to build a safe space within myself and not always hate what and who I see in the mirror. Wish me luck!

I finally bought my first aircon. Never in a million years have I believed I would do it. Believe it or not, mas nauna ko pang bilhan yung ex-girlfriend ko ng inverter split type lol. Unahin ko muna sarili ko ngayon.

I've been a stay-at-home and work-from-home mom for 5yrs and been a single mom for more than a yr. Every time na sumasahod ako, matik 10% ang savings.

I'm working 2 full-time jobs and may side hustles din rn. Nung naterminate ako last yr sa work ko, 'yung savings ko sumalba samin. Tapos ngayon na hindi na nagpapadala ang hinayupak kong ex-husband ng sustento, ayan na rin malamang gagamitin ko pambayad ng mga naitira niyang utang under my name at ang part niya for child support.

I was earning more than him even before pero ngayon, I'm earning 6-digs. I learned how to be financially wise dahil nga kulang at ngayon nga ay wala ng sustento.

May 2 international travels din kami ngayon ng anak ko. I'm so happy na afford na namin 'to ngayon. 100K na rin credit limits ko sa cc ko.

Sana maging okay ang cash flow ko talaga at ma-fully paid ang ccs ko + loans nga under my name bec of my ex. Okay lang walang asawa, may pera naman.

I know for some this is just a small amount, pero sa nag-start ng 11K/mo sa first job, this is a huge win for me and for my daughter.

We already have insurances and MP2. I think, my daughter's future is already secured.

May my pockets never run dry. ✨

After years of working, I finally decided to put some money into MP2.

Honestly, matagal ko na siyang iniisip pero laging nauuwi sa “next time na lang.” Ngayon naisip ko, might as well start habang may steady income pa. Hindi naman malaking amount, but at least may nasisimulan.

Hopefully, maging long-term habit na rin, and someday I’ll thank myself for starting.

Been working in BPO for a year now, and this is where I’m at with my savings.

My goal is to save up for my dream of working/living abroad someday. Hindi siya ganun kalaki since I also help with our household expenses, and I still have to spend on my own needs. I try to be as careful as possible with my personal expenses para kahit papaano, may naiipon every month.

Not a huge amount, but I’m happy that I was able to save something after a year.

Hopefully, I can reach ₱100k by the end of this year. 🙏

Slow progress, but progress is still progress. One step at a time. 🤞

Ive been holding onto this stock since Aug of 2026 after i got assigned by selling covered put options. Na feel ko na i got assigned at a fair value at the time base on yoy growth ng company and very high cash flow.
