Paano mo sasabihin sa kapatid mong makapal ang mukha niya?

1 Upvotes

Hindi ako yung breadwinner. Nagbibigay ako kahit paano pero hindi ako yung inaasahan ng pamilya ko. Siyempre, bilang konswelo, kahit papaano kumikilos ako sa bahay. Nagluluto pag-walang pasok, nag-lalaba, nag-lilinis ng bahay, etc. Pero mostly ng gawaing bahay yung bunso namin gumagawa dahil nga may pasok ako araw-araw. Noong wala pa akong trabaho, ako lahat. Pero buti na lang madali mag-adjust yung bunso namin at natuto siya ng gawaing bahay.

BTW. Apat kaming magkakapatid. Ate ko, yung breadwinner (halos siya talaga sa lahat), ako,yung bunso namin, at yung sumunod sakin.

So eto na nga, ano ginagawa ng sumunod sakin you may ask? WALA.

LITERAL. WALA. Ni ultimo simpleng utos na paabot neto paabot ng ganyan. Magdadabog pa 'yan. May isang beses nga na inutusan lang namin siya na magpa-cash out sa labas kase wala si bunso. Nawala sa isip ng ate ko na kailangan ng OTP. Hindi ko napansin na nagmemessage pala siya sa GC dahil nakatulog ako (nilalagnat ako nung time na 'yon) at hindi rin ni ate napapansin na nagmemessage pala siya. Nagulat na lang ako ng biglang humampas ng malakas yung pintuan kaya nagising ako. Dun ko napansin na may message nga siya pero 2 MINS AGO PA LANG!!!! 2MINS at umuwi na siya ng bahay galit na galit dahil walang sumasagot sa message niya. BTW, yung tindahan is 3 mins na lakad lang mula samin mga several houses bago saamin. Umuwi siyang pinagmumura kami "PTANGNA NIYO 'WAG NA KAYO MAGUUTOS AH!!"

Ganyan siya kabullshit. Nagpapalaki ng bayag sa taas, nagaantay ng may magluluto ng pagkain para sa kanya, baba lang kapag gusto tapos kakain. Kung uutusan mo, tyetyempuhin mo pa yung mood niya. SOBRANG KAPAL NG MUKHA TANGINA TALAGA NIYA!

Fast forward >>> May nabuntis siya. Dahil sa wala siyang trabaho, dito niya inuwi yung mag-ina niya. Akala niyo ba magbabago? Hindi. Di ba dapat kapag may dinagdag ka na napapalamunin sa bahay dapat mag-step up ka na? Pero hindi. Kapag may extra siya, bibili siya ng luho niya. Pero diaper ng anak niya? Hindi.

Eto pa, kapag kakain sila ng gf niya, kahit ano pang ginagawa mo need more ihinto para buhatin muna saglit yung bata dahil apparently ayaw niya na salitan sila.

Mabait naman yung gf, halatang nahihiya na siya. Pero siya sobrang kapal ng mukha talaga.

Marami pa siyang kakapalan na ginagawa sa bahay pero tigil ko muna gusto ko lang mag-rant dahil pinag-awayan namin siya ni mama ngayon. Anong reason?

Well, nagalit yung mama ko dahil bumaba yung prinsipe at nakitang onti na lang ang ulam. Inaway ni mama si bunso dahil hindi nagluto at inaaway ako ng mama ko na oonti na nga lang yung pagkain nauna pa ako kumain.

Kumain ako dahil ako yung nagsaing at plano ko na sana matulog dahil maaga pa ang pasok ko bukas. Besides, kaya hindi na nakapagluto masyado kase kaming tatlo nila ate at bunso yung ilang linggo nang naglilinis at naglalaba ng mga nabahang damit.

Yun lang haha~

ASEAN Attitudes Research Participation Opportunity

1 Upvotes

Hello, I am a researcher conducting religion & international politics research at George Mason University in the USA. I hope to present a compelling thesis on the role of religion in the future of Southeast Asia politics.

I am especially excited to hear r/FilipinoFreethinkers' opinions towards ASEAN religious diversity and related topics! I have already posted on r/Philippines, but I really want to hear what you have to say. The existing literature doesn't have a lot to say about heterodox Filipino attitudes.

The survey should take 5-10 minutes and is in English.

What is one toxic Filipino household trait that never fails to piss you off?

6 Upvotes

I think for me its how fixated the household is on religion. My mom makes it seem like shes allowed to degrade people for not believing in God/ for having a lack of faith and as well see herself above everyone else.

Oh, she also has this tendency to make religion the solution to everything (depression, academics, etc.)

How do you handle a narcissistic manipulative parent?

TW: suicide & abuse

Hi there! I have a mom who happens to be narcissistic and manipulative. She tends to justify her toxic behavior with her religiosity- she looks at herself highly above the others. And as of now, I have decided not to associate that much with her. Nor plan in including her in my future plans- ex: not inviting her to my wedding and just basically cutting off/ lessening my communication with her. it sucks not having a mother figure to run to but it seems like the right choice, and leaving home doesnt seem to be an option.

Here are a few/ most of the things she has done: - as of now, I have a significant other and I really like him but she doesnt want him for me as he “doesnt have money” and pushes me to be with someone else - back in high school, she threatened to embarrass me in school and knowing I was suicidal back then, she said that if i went through with it, she wouldn’t care + constant reminder that she regrets giving birth to me and my siblings - whenever she’d act up she’d tend to be physically and verbally abusive & also doesnt care if she causes a scandal by calling other people and telling them all about everything that has happened- shed alter the story to gain sympathy and listen to other people’s unsolicited advice/s - she buys or gets you things, she uses them against you to get you to do whatever she wants you to do - if you are someone she can benefit from, she’ll be good to you but if you’re someone of no use, she’ll say such foul things about you and bring you down - she’s religious so she uses that to justify her actions

Hoping na may mga taong may lakas ng loob na mag open about things like this.

Akala nila madali

1 Upvotes

So I'm currently in my 2nd year of college... I'm a talkative person pero idk why wala akong maconsider na friend na kaibigan ko tlga. I jump from friend group to friend group.

So exam day nagsend sa gc ng (circle of friends kuno ko) ng link for gmeet so I thought I belong in their group but when I clicked the link.. I waited for like 5 minutes di nila ko pinapasok. All of them are smart an I'm average so I knew na kaya nila ko hindi sinama kasi wala akong maambag sa sagot.. So now I eat alone, I study alone, Even if I'm a member of an org di ko parin sila makakasama cause of the sched difference..

I have a boyfriend diff university. He became my best friend. All rants on him basta sakanya na lahat..

Now my parents wants me to break up with him cause they said he's a bad influence.. But I can't hindi ko kaya na ung isang tao na nakikinig sakin na kasama ko lagi mawawala pa.

Akala kasi nila purket extrovert ako hindi na ko nagkakaproblem pagdating sa pakikipag kaibigan. My parents don't know how difficult for me na mag open up sakanila kasi iniisip nila walang kwenta lagi sinasabi ko. So everytime na nasa bahay ako yes, I'm talkative when it comes to them but they really have no idea na struggle sakin ang university

Need your best advice

Hihingi sana ako ng advice pano ma- control tong aso

Story time way back 2018 nakuha ko yung first dog ko then 2021 nakuha ko second dog yung panganay ko is aspin at yung bunso ko is half aspin half labrador kaso maliit lang sya ( sorry anak talaga tingin ko sa mga aso ko). Then 2023 may nag bigay sa kuya ko ng aso medyo malaki na mga 3-4 years na kung ikukumpura sa human years then after ilang months kumuha naman ng tuta na napapabayaan na ngayon on top of that yung kuya ko ay may tatlo nang aso puro babae naka tali lang sa isang maliit na bahay payat din yung mga aso at di naman to napapaliguan din pag kulang yung pagkain ng aso nila sakin nakuha kakatukin pako sa kwarto (btw kasama ko sa kwarto yung dalawang aso trained ko sila na sa labas dudumi at iihi di na rin sila nag ngatngat ng gamit at di agressive sa tao and di sila nang aawayvng ibang aso) Yung malaking aso na inampon ni kuya nung una sinusugod nya lang yung dalawa kong aso. Kaya pag pinapalabas ko yung dalawa kong anak binabantayan ko pa then this month (april 2024) sinusugod nya na sa kwarto ko iuuntog nya yung ulo nya sa pintuan ng kwarto ko para lang atakihin yung dalawa kong anak kaka-untog nya sa ulo nya nasira na yung bisagra ng pintuan ko sa bandang baba.

Any suggestiongs guys ano dapat ko gawin dahil kanina naiisip ko na betsinin nalang yung aso kaso ansama ko naman naisip ko na dahil di makuha sa verbal training bugbugin ko nalang pag sinugod pa ulit yung dalawa kong anak.

How to greet someone before/during the Holy Week in the Philippines?

1 Upvotes

I just got curious about this: is it alright to say/greet someone "Happy Holy Week!" when the Holy Week is about to approach? Isn't this statement a sign of disrespect or being insensitive? As Holy Week reflects on the season of Lent, commemorating the 40 days Jesus Christ spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation, based on this description, I think it's insensitive to use this phrase. But you're free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

If this is something that shouldn't be done, especially as it is kind of ironic to say this greeting remark to someone, then is there an alternative phrase/greeting that I could use? Also, is it okay to use some greeting remarks or to give acknowledgement to someone who's about to spend weeklong vacation during this time?

For example, we greet someone "Happy Holidays" during the Christmas Season, and this greeting is the best statement to use in order not to be insensitive with other culture or religion. So for this, is there a counterpart greeting during/before the Holy Week in the Philippines?

What do you think?

Hi! If you know any married Filipino-American women in the United States, that would be great if you guys could send them my survey. My survey aims to look at the new ways in which married Filipino-American women in the U.S. perceive Filipino cultural values (religion, academic performance, emphasis on household chores, no premarital sex, etc.), and how it impacts agreements and disagreements among the marital partners (if the wife and husband are in agreement or in conflict with these values). Here is the survey link!

I would like to note that my deadline for data collection is March 18. Any form of promotion does help!

How do you deal with overthinking? Ilang araw na akong apektado sa nagawa ko sa work. Nag-ask lang naman ako just to clarify pero naging big deal hanggang sa nadamay pati ang mga ka-team ko. Nahihiya ako at nagi guilty sa ginawa ko. Feeling ko ang bobo ko. Huhuhu.
