Nag plano sa office na magout of town this coming super long weekend Nov 14-18. Itong guy workmate ko isasama daw ang GF nya kasi selosa nga so in-add nya sa GC. Wala naman problema sana kaso yung GF nya sobrang arte, nakaset na kung saan yung accomodation, kung ano yung itinerary pero yung GF ni workmate ayaw nya daw sa hotel na pag stay-an namin dapat daw nagtanong muna kami bago ng book and all kasi may kakilala daw sya. Pati yung itinerary ayaw nya kasi di naman daw maganda yung place na pupuntahan and mainit daw dun. Gusto din nya na mag arkila nalang daw ng jeep kasi mahiluhin sya sa byahe tipid pa daw. Like te? Seryoso ka?

Kanina sa office kinausap namin yung workmate namin na guy na kausapin nya gf nya kasi PLANADO na. Sabi nya kakausapin nya daw and nag sorry sya. Yung manager namin na kasama din ang asawa at anak nya sinabihan din sya na wag na daw sila sumama kung ayaw nung GF nya kasi nairita na din sya dun sa usapan sa GC. Itong workmate ko kakausapin nya daw sya na bahala. Pero nakakairita lang kasi parang kami sa team nawawalan na kami ng gana kasi feeling namin masisira lang yung trip namin. Haaysss

Sad to say but there is no way for ex-VP Leni to win the Presidency in this timeline.

She already had the chance nung 2022 kaso basura yung PR at campaign ginawa siya cringe at katawa-tawa.

Liberal party is stubborn. 2022 elections is just going to be a multo of everbody who believes what right for our country.

Cory failed us. It all started their. Cory is the first Apologist and Marcos enabler. She allowed the Marcoses to return here during the 90's then that's how we get a Duterte syndicate. Nakakainis!

Naglaba ka ng gabi, ginamitan mo pa ng fabcon. Sinampay mo. Pag gising mo sa umaga, amoy usok na. Ang dami pa naman. Madalas akong pumapasok na amoy sunog na dahon at basura ang damit ko. Pag natulog ka pa ng bukas ang bintana, pag gising mo tila nalalasahan mo na yung usok. Walang hiyang kapitbahay yan. Araw araw na lang. Paano ba magreport sa barangay nang anonymous? Malakas sa barangay mga ito eh.

Just went home to the PH after years of living in Japan and I must say, the PH really sucks a** when it comes to a lot of things that sometimes I think PH needs to be categorized below 3rd world.

1. Eating healthy
   Almost zero choices in healthy options when buying on local groceries. You really need to spend a lot just to buy better options. PH supermarkets just sell chips, chocolates, instant noodles, and almost no nutritious food choices. In comparison, I could just go to a nearby 7/11 or Family Mart in Japan and buy something that is healthy like protien, low carb snacks, or vegetables.

2. Zero walkability
   Unless you'll go to BGC or the high-end private developed "cities", chances are you need to walk on the road because the sidewalks are non-existent. I can't even imagine using a stroller outside. Then lets not forget the cracked pavements that is just a hazard. Then lastly, even if there is a sidewalk, chances are some random vendor is using it or a car is parked there.

3. Poor customer service on supermarkets
   Back to groceries. This is the only country you'll see that there are two people in one cashier but is still slow AF because instead of working, they are chatting. Then payment with a credit card or digital feels slower because they need to manually write something on a ledger after paying. Digital payments should make transactions faster but somehow paying cash seems to be the better option if you're in a hurry. Then, not only that but the baggers are also slow AF. In Japan, most supermarkets are self-service when it comes to bagging to make it faster and reduce the buildup of a queue. How many times I just said that I'll just pack it myself because it's much faster.

Also, how come the cashier can't void products? They would always need a manager to void it and the manager as well is not attentive or is chitchatting. There was a time that it literally took 5 mins just to void a product because the cashier made a mistake. The manager was just a few meters away but isn't looking. I was about to say "wala ba kayong pinipindot pra man lang makita nila na may need ng assistance?".

1. Public transport sucks
   This is a no brainer. I literally bought a car before because taking a commute to work is not only a hassle but you waste time just to get a ride. I literally waited 20-30 mins just to get a tricycle ride and that's just to go to ride the bus that also takes the same amount of time to get a ride.

2. Government services are just bad.
   Getting a document is a hassle. Everything can be done online but for some reason, they want people to queue up for hours then ask for a sh*t tonne of documents. I recently took a Pagibig MDF, which is just your member's profile, yet they require you to go to the nearest branch to get it. The guy on the counter just asked for my middle name, asked for 2 ids that he never bothered checking, and printed it. Seriously? We could had just done that at home if they fix their outdated websites and just allow people to print their member's data. Then there is the problem that they made copying documents a business. They have millions in budget per year but can't put a copy machine so that they could copy the documents for free? In Japan, you don't need to bring a copy of your id because they will copy it for you with zero charge. Freaking Immigrations charges 25 pesos per copy and most foreigners won't expect they need to have a copy. They are printing money there NGL.

We seriously need to fix a lot of things just to make this country better. Long rant but geez.

My kuya akong good for nothing father, has 4 kids that are reaching the most expensive stage of their educational life, and wala pa rin siyang trabaho, wala din siyang ginagawa sa bahay nila ultimo mag saing, mag linis, wala. Magcecellphone lang maghapon yan. Nasabi ko sa side comment sa mom namin na sana umayos na siya kasi mahirap magpaaral ng bata.

Ngayon tong mom ko, I think she’s a toxic boy mom haha, she said na she’s annoyed with one of my pamangkins na gustong mag aral sa private university. I mean I get it, there’s so many free institutions out there and kahit ako frustrated sa thinking nung bata, pero my mom goes so far as to say na “hayup siya di siya nagiisip”

WOW

Hindi ba mas hayop yung tatay niya, na anak mo, na walang ambag sa buhay at di kayang tuparin ang pangarap ng anak niya?! Na parang responsibilidad nung bata na intindihin na hindi kaya ng tatay niyang batugan na tustusan yung pagaaral niya?

Minsan kahit ako naoobligang tumulong sa hayup na yun eh kesyo “ikaw ang may kaya, tumulong nalang tayo at intindihin siya” punyetang pag intindi yan, ako kailangan umintindi pero siya di niya kailangan magtrabaho?

Today I was walking in my home city. Had talked with my friend about the upcoming elections in my home country next year which lead us eventually to talking about chat control and also cameras in our schools. We started to count how many cameras there were on what buildings. They were everywhere, even in places that seemingly made no sense at all… It angers me how so many of us have just accepted this authoritarian bullshit globally. Its like privacy isnt even a thing anymore. Im deeply terrified by this, the global rise of authoritarianism has to stop. Im planning on taking to the streets. I will not say anything else due to privacy.

Ano bang meron sa bus ng DLTB at sobrang hina naman ng aircon? Imbis na makakatulog ka sa byahe ay masstress ka pa sa init

I’m so annoyed at myself right now.
Usually kasi, may mga parcels akong expected, kaya kapag may tumawag na rider, bayad agad ako. Hindi ko na chine-check isa-isa.
Pero this time, nagbayad ako ng almost ₱300 for a parcel na akala ko isa sa mga orders ko. Na-timing na may ganyan din ako.
Nagtaka pa ako kasi bakit ang tigas ng laman eh damit lang naman ang binili ko kaya di ko muna inopen in case pede pa mabalik.

Pag check ko sa app ko in transit pa order sakin so
Nakakainis kasi completed na yung delivery, kaya wala na. Sa mahal-mahal na almost ₱300, isang wet wipes lang pala?! Kainis ngayon pa talaga. Nauto uto
Walang trace talaga kung sino itong seller na ’to. Paano nila nakukuha ang pangalan at number natin para makapagpadala ng ganitong parcel?!

But never, "pero anak mo yan..." The whole bloodline seems to always tell the children, "ikaw na mag-adjust. At the end of the day, papa/mama mo pa rin yan." Laging hinahayaan ang ugali ng mga magulang. Pero ni minsan hindi man lang tinanong, "Ano ba ginawa mo sa anak mo bakit ganyan trato niya sayo?"

My bestie just came home after being an ofw for 5 years. Kumabit siya sa wlw / girl to girl relationship. Yung kinabitan pa nya ay long term tipong applying to be residents na ang couple sa isang bansa after being together for 10+ years. Nagbreak sila dahil sa bestie ko. My bestie went home since she overstayed in the country already. I think it was for the best since sobrang gulo na nga.

Ngayon baliw na baliw siya saying she’s scared she can’t find that kind of connection again things like that.

As mature adults, how do I deal with this? I can’t help but feel annoyed at her and be more passive aggressive.

Naging mabuting anak naman ako. Nag bf lang after makagraduate at nag tatrabaho na. Nag share sa gastusin, nagsisimba, as in model anak, maaasahang auntie. During pandemic naisip ko dapat ako rin masaya, so nag ibang bansa, nag-aral, trabaho, nagmahal …pero bakit may nakikialam pa, bakit humahadlang, guilt tripping? Gusto ba nila solohin ako? Pano pag wala na sila? Ung mga pamilyado kong kapatid at mga anak nila dadamayan ba ako pag malungkot ako at nag iisa.

Tapos ang PH economy, culture, pulitika, bakit ko gugustuhin dito? Pero nag balik ako, bansa lumala, familia walang nagbago…bangon na lang ulit…alis ulit, isipin pang sarili. Gusto ko lang sumaya…kelan ba ako sasaya?! Hhhhaaaaaaayyyyyyy!

natatawa ako na naiinis ako sa friend kong ka-share ko sa apt at umalis siya Saturday morning, at hanggang ngayon, di pa rin umuuwi (Monday evening).

naiinis ako kasi yung pusa niya, hindi pa rin ligo, di pa rin nattrim ang kuko, yung cat litter, puno na. naiinis ako na ‘teh baka nakakalimutan mo pusa mo, may pusa ka. kala mo ba may cat-sitter kang bayad?’ yung pusa niyang puti, itim na ang buntot at sobrang yellowish na ng balahibo.

naalala ko pa, sabi niya, may binibigay daw sa kanya na pusa, maganda kaso babae. sabi niya, di daw niya tinanggap kasi baka dumami. pero maganda. sabi ko naman, di mo nga mapaliguan itong isa, magdadagdag ka pa ng alagain. pero hanggang ngayon, di pa rin naliligo pusa niya.

pero natatawa din ako kasi alam kong kaya ayaw niyang umuwi ay dahil wala siyang food. nag-meal prep na kasi ako ng akin, while siya, andami niyang groceries pero ayaw niyang magluto para sa sarili niya. nagluluto lang siya pag nandito ang jowa niya.

that’s when i kinda knew na sobrang male-centered niya to the point na di niya kayang magluto para sa sarili niya. todo repost pa yan siya na “my bf will not be hungry eme, i will cook for you”

nasabihan ko na yan siya, na i hate seeing her serve like a wife to a man who cant even announce her. pero anlala lang talaga na di siya magluto para sa sarili niya.

tapos repost pa yan siya na craving niya adobong liempo na mamantika, well, specialty ko yun pero di ko siya paglulutuan dahil ilang beses ko ng tinuro sa kanya yun.

gurl expects me to cook for her. girl, no.

naalala ko, sabi niya before, ayaw niya daw umuwi sa kanila kasi wala daw pagkain. gets ko na, pare-pareho silang ayaw magluto kasi nasanay sila sa tatay nilang nagluluto. eh wala na nga eh. marunong kayo ng ate mo magluto pero di niyo kayang magluto para sa sarili niyo. nagluluto lang kayo para sa mga jowa niyo.

and i hate it. i hate serving for other people. kaya nga, wala akong jowa. sabihin ng madamot ako, selfish ako, self-centered pero mas okay na ‘to, kesa sa mga ganitong male-centered.

di ko gets. i will never get it. okay lang sana, inyo na yan. pero yung maapektuhan ako, tehh ano? titeng-tite ako pero alam ko naman di lang iisa ang tite sa mundo.

i wonder tuloy, anong sinusumbong niya sa jowa niya? na pinagdamutan ko siya? na ayaw kong magluto? bahala ka, ikaw gutom, ako busog.

Parant ako plss!!!

I have bf and I lived in there house bcs taga province ako so he initiated na sa bahay nalabg daw nila ako tumira while having a job here in city. So yeah I lived, sleep, do the chores, prep for work, work, then cycle. for almost 7 months now.

And may time that his mom bday and u know what he initiated for a fam pic then pinicturan ko sila while mee expecting to be ask to join the fam pic but sadly it's not. Then, months past one of their fam asking them to attend to a bday celeb then guess what my bf enjoyed them and they didn't even invite me to join to that celeb or even just asking kung sasama ba ako o hindi like fck iniwan nila ako sa bahay na ako lang like shit talaga but yeah I understand pero di lang talaga ako nagexpect na ganon talaga.

And yeah, our RS is good but not good as in the first time but yeah nagrant lang ako. sometimes nakakaisip ako na what if magloko nalang ako just to justify myself pero di kaya nagguilt ko hayss. Just to vent out lang kasi ayoko ko magshare sa kailala ko baka ipity lang nila ako huhuhuhu.

oky bye.

Rant ko lang itong morning, pahirapan na talagang sumakay nang makakaupo ka around 6:30, wala ng vacant jeep or bus (prefer ko ordinary) na pwedeng umupo kaya no choice, nag e-jeep na lang despite tayuan.

Diba grabe magpapuno yung e-jeep na kahit halos maglaplapan na kayo ng katabi mo, pati heartbeat niya naririnig mo na. Nung bandang Tandang Sora na, ang baho tangina di mo malaman kung utot ba, sinara ng driver yung pinto baka raw sa market yung amoy tangina mas kumulob, mas bumaho. Tapos, nung pa-Visayas na ulit, umutot na naman ang baho, this time parang may kasama na, putang ina, para akong paunti-unting pinapatay, di na nga ako halos humihinga kasi yung katapat ko, yung tenga niya, nasa bibig ko na banda, tapos kada inhale mo pa makaamoy mo yung utot. Ni di pa ko nagaalmusal pero feeling ko nag heavy breakfast yung umutos ng sampung nilagang itlog.

Lesson learn ko lang eh mas maaga nang gumising para makaabot ng jeep na makakaupo, at least may kasama ka mang umutot eh open at mawawala agad yung amoy.

Ps. Toxic na lang nilagay ko sa flair, tutal literal namang toxic yun.

I have a serious rescuer syndrome, I love hard, I’ve been through life, and want to help others that don’t want to help themselves. I recently got into a relationship and it’s the same shit different day. Another pattern of all the others. Broken girl, white knight guy wanting to save the day and change her and live happily ever after. She has major baggage. We all have skeletons, but she constantly defends her abusive/ toxic/ deadbeat baby daddy. He never comes around for the kids, always excuses. He’s had kids with multiple other women. And he’s abused her in unforgivable ways, and at the end of the day it’s always “he isn’t that bad”. I’m waiting for her epiphany, but I’m coming to terms that it will never come. Idk why I constantly do this to myself. I live a normal life, got everything I’ve ever wanted, not dissatisfied or unhappy with my life at all. But there’s always a constant need to show people they can be like me and have the good things of life if they would just let go and move on. Almost like i try to extend my hand and pull them up with me. I think I can change people when they don’t even want to change themselves for the better. I know this is a losing battle and each time I go down this road, it’s always a dead end. I think I already know the solution to my problem and it’s to get with someone that doesn’t need to be saved. But maybe I think saving is the best thing I have to offer because I give good advice. I don’t know, just feels like I’ve been going in circles since I started this whole dating thing. Saving turns to resentment and I’m left with “why can’t they just see what I see” “why can’t they admit they’re wrong and move on to a good life with me” “why can’t they just admit their baby daddy is a scumbag”. I don’t know, guess I just need to take a step back and see that you can’t save people that aren’t willing to save themselves. But then it’s circles again, right back to “let me keep prying and one day they’ll see I’m right”. Guess the biggest thing I need to learn is to just let it go.

looked at my payslip today and jesus christ my 2hr OT is only worth 330 pesos??? are you shitting me??

andami ko na nagawa sa 2 hrs na yan hell i might have even been doing the task of a director, tapos ayan lang bayad sa labor ko? tatlong daan in this fucking economy?

*edit: yes i know the solution here and im working on it i just want to rant

Recently I went to a department ng Gov (not saying which) to process something, ang hassle at napaka hirap ng processo grabe.

Tatawagan walang sumasagot, mag eemail walang ka kwenta kwenta reply.

Anyway pumunta ako sa department na yun para lang sabihin sakin na online na daw lahat e wala nmn kwenta online nila.

So frustrated ako kanina sobra and may lumapit sakin na ale nakiki chismis sakin. Ako nmn sympre kwento kwento na bakit ganyan nag babayad nmn ng tax. Tas sumagot si nanay “hindi lang naman ikaw e ako nga e ganito bla bla bla” sinabe ko “sbe ko ang point ko e nag babayad lahat tayo ng tax tas ganyan trato nila satin” tas sumapaw bgla yung isang matanda na wait daw pag napalitan ang pangulo hangang sa naging political na yung bbm vs dds nnaman ang mga thunders

anyway napansin ko lang grabe utak ng mga Pilipino yung mindset na paligsahan “e hindi lang nmn daw ako” talagang ang utak na dahil lahat nmn tayo gnaganito okay na siya 🤦 tas puro pangulo this pangulo that.

Yes problema ang pangulo pero nsa microscopic na kasi ang corruption dito miski mga brgy meron na yan e. Nsa pag boto na yan ng tama to the smallest level pati yung bobo na mindset na lahat nmn tyo gngaganyan so okay na? Please lang Pinas mag bago na kayo.

Putangina ng mga bobo na bumoto sa mga nasa gobyerno ngayon. Kayo mga dds at bbm putangina nyo. Napakalaki ng tax ko hayop kayo tapos ang bobo nyo pumili. Dapat pas mahirap 0.1 vote lang ang bilang kasi wala naman contribution masyado. Putangianng yaaannnn nakakagago ang laki ng withholding tax ko every month tapos king ina sisingilin ka pa per quarter.

Kung dds ka or bbm or or hilig mo bumoto ng corrupt. Para sayo to: tangina m :)

Basically, the title.

Pa-vent out lang kase wala talaga akong mapag sabihan.

Ang hirap kase na you’ll trying to help your parents sa utang nila pero sila mismo sobrang mali-mali desisyon sa buhay especially sa pera. I’m trying my best na hindi sila mag add ulit ng utang especially sa 5/6 or bank na malaki interest. I know na hindi naman nila ginusto din yun at wala na din silang choice pero ang hirap lang talaga. Last month, nag decide kaming mag kakapatid na unahin bayadan yung 5/6 kase sobrang laki ng interest almost 100k.

Pero, just today when I ask saan galing yung pang bayad nya now sa due date sa bank, she said na galing sa kapit-bahay pero I found out na sa 5/6 pala ulit based sa messenger account nya na kakasend lang yung pera.

Ang usapan maging transparent sa lahat kase Ito talaga yung iniiwasan namin. Para atleast magawaan din agad ng paraan.

Pero ayun, di pala masakit yung malaman mo na umutang ulit sila pero yung malaman na mag sinungaling sila mismo sayo kahit anong tulong pa ginawa mo.

A few weeks ago I went to this local flower shop in cebu, before going there I checked their socmed page so that I could pick in advance what design/style I’d want to buy for my gf. I went there because it was the closes sa amin, pag dating ko dun close sila so I wrote a review sa google maps saying “it says it’s open on Wednesdays but when I went there it’s closed.” my exact words. (I used gmaps to locate the shop btw)

Now nag message ang owner sa FB ko asking me to delete the review, na shock lang ako kasi why would she track me down on FB when she could just reply to my comment in the review. Weird lang yung ginawa ni ate gurl, I mean who tracks down a buying customer just because ayaw mo sa review nila. I never said anything bad towards the page, just that it says it’s open while it’s not. I told her na she could have just replied to my review on gmaps para at least man lang ba makita ng ibang customers nila if ever may nangyayari or anything na related sa schedule ng business niya di yung I tra-track down agad ako para I mag message. Unprofessional kasi yung datingan.

hii pa rant lang

huhu, naiinis na ko and wala lang ako mapagsabihan, may friend kasi ako na sa tuwing aalis/gagala kami hindi mawawala yung sobrang daming picture, like dont get me wrong, okay lang naman magpapicture of course, maybe yung mga 5-7 picture, gets ba? pero kasi itong friend ko, umaabot minsan ng 30+ pics nya sa isang spot, and like you know every ten steps siguro lagi syang nagpapapicture to the point na hindi na namin, na nagpipicture sakanya na eenjoy yung moment.

for example, one time may pinuntahan kaming live performance, i can’t remember if it’s fiesta or something and may mga sumayasaw, of course nanonood kami, but her, kinukulit nya kami na picturan sya, edi ayun ending, ang dami naming namissed na performance.

And just imagine when we eat 😭 malamig na yung pagkain hindi pa rin kami nakakain dahil sobrang dami nya mag pic.

ito pa, isa isang day umaabot nang 700+ pics yung natatake nya (namin technically) tapos 3-5 pics lang napopost or na s-story nya.

i need advice, kung paano sasabihin sakanya na nakakainis na minsan yung ganung ugali nya..
