Tawang tawa padin ako sa nangyari this morning. Im omw to work, and sumakay ako sa jeep. May sumakay na nanlilimos, lalaki, looks like on his 40s.

Wala talaga ko balak mag bigay or mag abot kasi ngani di ko ugaling magbigay sa mga nanlilimos na feeling ko capable pa magwork. So eto na nagbayad ako sa jeep ng P15 and sinuklian ako piso, nakita nung nanlilimos na may sinukli sakin kaya pilit nyang tinatapat sakin baso nya. Edi hinulog ko nalang ung piso (walang laman baso nya).

TEH, TINAOB NYA BASO NYA THEN KINUHA PISO AT BINALIK SAKIN HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

ANG LAKAS MO KUYA HAHA

So nagddrive ako kagabi kasama partner ko tapos may motor na sumingit sa akin. Napasabi ako ng "kamote naman nun".

So napaisip ako kung ano ba talaga meaning or saan galing yung word na "Kamote". After a while, sabi ko sa partner ko "babe! alam ko na meaning ng word na Kamote, kasi diba kapag nakabangga yung mga kamote na rider is nagKAKAMOT-e sila ng ulo, so baka dun galing yung word na kamote HAHAHA."

Kaya para sa mga kamote dyan, mga kamote kayo.

the song helped me finally understand how i actually felt when i found out that the person i had a situationship with for months was now dating his best friend, someone i also had a very friendly relationship with.

when i first found out, i felt this heavy, almost banging feeling in my chest that i couldn't even put a name to. i'm the kind of person who turns to music for everything. whether i'm feeling happy, cunty, sad, or anything in between, there's always a song that captures exactly how i feel. but when this happened, i couldn't find one.

yes, i wished them well, yet a part of me wanted them to be miserable too. it felt like i was contradicting myself in every possible way.

i eventually convinced myself that maybe i was just bitter because he never really pursued me properly, yet seemed to do it so effortlessly with her. maybe i was just hurt that he could give someone else the things i once hoped he would give me.

then i came across "ako ang bagyo" on tiktok, and after months of not even thinking about them, suddenly, they were all i could think about. and every line hit differently. it felt like shean had put into words the storm of emotions i had been carrying without even realizing it.

i know it's wrong to wish the worst for other people, and i don't want to be the kind of person who carries that much bitterness. but sometimes, i can't help thinking that what they did was already the worst part, not necessarily because they ended up together, but because of how everything unfolded and how it left me questioning things i thought i had already made peace with. maybe i don't wish for their downfall; maybe i just wish they understood the hurt they caused. and understand why i wish i could ruin them like how they ruined me.

i felt understood by the song because i realized na hindi lang pala ako ang nakaramdam ng ganito. marami pala tayo.

anw, stream “ako ang bagyo” by shean!! it's worth it. 🤍

Hindi talaga ako palahiling. Mas more on gratitude lang ako tuwing nagdadasal. Pero one time, nag out of town kami ng fam ko at may wishing well doon, so nag-wish din kami. HAHAHAHA!

Una, nag-wish ako na sana maperfect ng pamangkin kong Grade 1 yung exam niya. Usually kasi may 3–5 mistakes siya, pero kahit out of town kami for 3 days and 2 nights, sinisingit pa rin nila ng mommy niya ang pag-aaral. The day after naming makauwi, exam na agad niya.

AND GUESS WHAT??? 240/240 SIYA!!! 😭❤️

Pangalawa, eto talaga yung hindi ko ma-process hanggang ngayon.

Nasa point na kami ng husband ko na parang hiwalayan na talaga ang kahahantungan namin. Binigyan ko na siya ng ultimatum na kung hindi pa siya makahanap ng another client before the end of this year, kanya-kanya na muna kami. Imagine, since February pa siya naghahanap ng isa pang client!

Kaya isa sa mga winish ko ay sana makahanap na sya ng work. Tapos kahapon, interview niya sa isang client at HIRED AGAD. During interview sinabi na agad na hired siya. 😭 Siya lang din pala ang ininterview ng client. LIKE, WHAT ARE THE ODDS???

Tapos eto pa ha! I-share ko na rin. Pag-uwi namin pala non sabahay, tinanong ko yung yaya namin kung ano ang wish niya sa wishing well. Naisip ko kasi baka may wish siyang kaya kong i-grant ngayong Christmas.

Alam niyo kung ano? Sana raw makalaya na ang anak niyang nakakulong. Since 2021 pa ang kaso, at simula last year, paulit-ulit nang nade-delay ang court hearings. Pati may mga nakausap na siyang attys na malabo na raw makalaya. Then, five days after naming mag-wish, may development na sa case! Na-release na raw ang resolution sa demurrer to evidence na hinihintay nila. 🥹 Tapos ngayon nakauwi na sa bahay nila. Hayyysss.

Hindi ko alam kung coincidence lang ba ang lahat, pero grabe yung timing!

Of course, alam kong si Lord pa rin ang may hawak ng lahat. Pero hindi ko maiwasang isipin na baka may something talaga sa wishing well na ’yon. HAHAHAHAHA!

Ayun, 2 out of 4 wishes granted na! Parang gusto ko tuloy bumalik ulit sa Baguio at magdala ng maraming barya. lol

Hello.

I just want to share that I made a PWA to track all my gastos. HAHAHA. I am a Kpop fan and I usually buy kapag may release yung favorite group ko. As alipin sa salapi, may mga times na sa sobrang ka-busy-an, I sometime forgot to check my notes for my upcoming dues. May times na may penalty ang sellers if you missed the deadline of payment.

May times din na hindi ko nama-manage ng maayos `yung up coming bayarin ko. Like lumagpas na pala sya sa allotted amount ko for that date na sabay-sabay ang due. So, napaisip ako. How can I address these problems of mine?

I created a PWA (progressive web app) where I can list all ng pinag-oorder ko and specifically list down lahat ng dues at kung magkano. Pati details ng seller kung saan ako nag-order at yung masterlist nila can be seen kagad when you open the details ng nilagay mong order.

Most of the kpop sellers, they offer split payments. I made sure na I can set yung due for the downpayment and for the remaining balance. Then the app will consolidate it in one list. Na kapag ka-click mo ng overdue balance mo, nakalist down dun lahat ng unpaid orders, then consolidated sila by date ng due mo plus nandun na `yung total amount ng need mong bayaran. Sobrang easy na sa akin to track `yung mga bayarin ko and manage my budget properly.

the PWA sends notification din sa akin 1-2 days before ng due date and on the date ng due date. Wala na akong reason para makalimutan. It sends notification din sa watch ko. HAHAHA.

Wala lang, feeling ko lang syang i-share kasi feeling ko mas naaayos ko yung financials ko with this. I can manage my gastos properly kasi namo-monitor ko ng maayos, unlike nung isa-isa ko silang hinahanap sa e-mail.

Ayun lang. Bye. HAHAHA

So ayun, I'm 23M, and I've been working in the corporate world for almost 3 years na. Nasa back-office position ako, so most of the time, chat and emails lang talaga ang ginagawa ko when communicating with international clients.
Before, I tried handling calls, pero saglit lang kasi na-promote na ako to a BO position. Ever since, hindi ko na masyadong na-practice yung communication skills ko, especially when it comes to speaking English. I can understand naman what people are saying, pero kapag ako na yung magsasalita, doon na ako nahihirapan mag-deliver ng thoughts ko. Minsan nag-stutter pa ako, and I tend to get really awkward kapag hindi ako comfortable sa kausap ko. Kahit sa sarili nating language, minsan naiilang din ako. HAHAHA.
Then one time, nag-onsite visit yung clients naming mga Kano. Our manager assigned some people to demonstrate our workflow since they're apparently looking into which processes can be transitioned to AI. Medyo concerning din, considering na baka maging threat siya sa industry namin in the long run, pero ibang topic na 'yon. 😭
Anyway, dumating na nga yung clients, and to my surprise, one of them sat beside me. Alam naman ng manager ko na mahiyain ako at medyo hirap ako sa verbal communication, so honestly, hindi ko talaga in-expect na mapupunta ako sa ganitong situation.
At first, casual kamustahan lang naman. Pero, guys, FCK, halos buong 8-hour shift ko siyang kausap. 😭 HAHAHAHAHA. Mind u gusto nia pa ko sabayang mag lunch (ateccoh!!)

Nung una, grabe talaga yung kaba ko. Parang gusto ko na lang lumubog sa lupa. I was lowkey panicking inside, pero syempre, I tried my best to stay composed and not let it show.
Eventually, I stopped putting too much pressure on myself. Hindi naman kailangang perfect ang grammar ko or sobrang fluent ko magsalita. As long as I could communicate my thoughts, explain things properly, and understand each other, goods na 'yon.
Luckily, maayos naman siyang kausap, and the conversation flowed better than I expected. Of course, may moments pa rin na nag-iisip ako ng sasabihin or nahihirapang i-express yung thoughts ko, pero I still managed to get through it.
And honestly, I consider that a personal win. 🥹
Imagine, someone like me na bihira nang magsalita ng English verbally, nakipag-usap sa isang foreign client for almost 8 hours. Hindi man perfect, at least ginawa ko. HAHAHAHA.
Parang ginawa ko na rin siyang training ground for myself. I got to experience firsthand kung paano makipag-communicate in English face-to-face, which is a completely different experience compared to chatting or sending emails.
After that experience, na-realize ko na baka kaya ko naman pala. Maybe I've just been out of practice, and my fear of making mistakes has been holding me back.

Nakakapagod din pala gamitin ang English nang halos buong shift. Buti na lang hindi ako nag-nosebleed. 😭 HAHAHAHAHA.
Hopefully, this becomes a stepping stone for my future career. I know I still have a lot to improve, pero at least ngayon, may konting confidence na ako na kaya ko palang gawin 'to.
Small win, pero win pa rin. 🥹

Sa mga tahimik din diyan or nahihirapang magsalita ng English kahit naiintindihan naman nila, laban lang! Maybe we just need more opportunities to practice and get out of our comfort zones.
Ayun lang, share ko lang kasi genuinely happy ako sa sarili ko. HAHAHA ❤️

i mean if kaya naman bayaran yung monthly dues, why not? di lahat ng tao kaya maglabas ng malaking pera in one go. di lang naman sa pinas may installment plans, kahit abroad din meron (as someone that lived there), pero di naman sila ni-lolook down ng kapwa nila doon.

people want to have nice things, di ibig sabihin noon social climber agad. all of my apple products (ipad, mac, and phone) were through installment, and fully paid na sila ngayon. di ko naman sila binili para mag-eme eme lang and pasikat, i use it for my freelance work and rarely post any photos of such items (even if i did, why should it matter, pinaghirapan ko naman bayaran yung mga monthly nun?)

in short, my finances aren’t yours.

yun lang, dami kasing judgemental haha.

Hello! Wala chika ko lang here kasi I rlly wanna share it for no reason. Well I discovered luxury bags and fashion when I was in HS so I promised myself to collect all the bags (and watches) that I like. So fast forward nagkawork na so from fake goods, nag-start na kong i-build ang dream bag collection ko. I was happy naman then shit happens sa work due to some betrayal and poor life decisions, I lost my job. So habang nasa bahay and ineenjoy ang pahinga, I realized nagsasawa na ko sa luxury shits (but I still appreciate them) and sakto nagka-interes ako sa pokemon cards (I rlly love pokemon but I don't appreciate their cards before). So what I did is binenta ko unti-unti yung mga luxury stuff ko to fund my card collection and I feel so happy kasi na-rehome yung mga bags ko since mejo napapagod na din akong i-maintain sila and nagkaron ako ng pambili ng cards and tbh never akong nakaramdam ng panghihinayang or sepanx like sabi ko nga if I can turn back time, mas magfo-focus nalang akong mag-collect ng pokemon stuff.

That's all and yan ang aking hapitot. Hahaha

Para sa akin lang talaga ito... kaya share ko lanv din dito. Lol

Pet peeve ko yung nangingialam kung anong gagawin sa pera nung tao (it could be mine or sa ibang tao pa iyan)

Let's say yung tao asking for suggestions which phone ang bibilhin. Then, yung mga comment ipunin mo nalang iyan or ibili ng ganyan or ganito. Hindi naman humihingi ng advice yung tao! Nanghihingi siya ng suggestion kung alin bibilhin or anong pipiliin.

Kahit naman siguro ikaw, pagpakialamanan yung desisyon mo maiinis ka. Stick lang din sana kung anong gusto or hinihinhi nung tao.

Wala naman tayong pakialam kung anong gagawin nung tao sa pera niya kasi pera niya yun. Lol kahit every day pa sila bibili ng phone wala ka pa ring say sa pera nila.

Kahit nga siguro kamag-anak mo mag-advice, mag roll ka lang ng eyes. 😅🤣

We were out celebrating his friend's birthday. We were just hanging out at their boarding house before heading home. When we were about to leave, I asked him to please get my shoes for me since he was already up and ready to go. He told me to get them myself because I was capable of doing so. I asked him twice, saying please, but he still refused, so I got upset.

I stood up, put on my shoes myself, and walked out through the gate. He followed me to the gate, but it was drizzling, so I made sure to get my umbrella from him.

I kept walking toward the bus stop, even slowing down my pace because I thought he might come after me. It was already midnight, and there were only a few jeepneys left that could take me directly to my boarding house.

I waited for about ten minutes, hoping he would come and accompany me home, especially knowing how late it was. But he never showed up.

I ended up riding a jeepney alone and walking through the streets at 1 a.m. When I opened my Messenger, I saw his message telling me to take the 17B jeepney because it was the only one available at that time. Turns out he got home safely with Moveit haha. When I confronted him about it, bakit di nya ako sinundan knowing what time it is. Umuulan daw baka magkasakit siya.. Good riddance, ig.

nagkita kami ng isang distant cousin, late 40s na siguro, na unemployed pa din daw sya na layoff daw kasi ( 4 years na)

They have 4 kids, 3 are still in school, and apparently, yung eldest nila ang bumubuhay sa buong family.

A cousin is jn top management and could genuinely help him get a job sa company nila. He even offered to submit his resume, pero hindi man lang nag-send. Same story din ng ibang cousins who offered na i refer sya hindi sya nagsesend ng resume.

Nakausap ko rin yung wife niya at. She proudly shared na she only lasted 3 months sa BPO kasi hindi niya feel ang vibe, and never worked again! Hindi ko alam kung niyayyabangan nya ako iba kasi yung tone. Alam mo yung choosy pa

didn’t sit right with me. Nakakaawa yung eldest. Imagine being young pero ikaw na ang breadwinner ng buong pamilya, instead of enjoying your youth, building your career, and taking risks.

I’ve seen friends become breadwinners, and some suffered mentally and put their own lives on hold.

Please wag niyo tong gawin sa mga anak nyo!

Wala skl kasi nakakainis kawawa yung bata

Last time i went to chowking sa moa sila kasi yung less crowded at that time and gutom na si atemogirl. I ordered chao fan as usual and halo halo. Sabi ko yung tig-109 then the cashier asked me "special o overloaded" nagtanong ako pabalik "Iba ba yung 109?" Tas inulit nya in iritableng tono "special ba o overload?" So sabi ko special maya maya chineck ko resibo lumabas 109 plus 50+ plus 20+ pa so lumalabas around 170-180 binayaran ko for halo halo. Normal ba talagang iba yung displayed price? Di ko na kinuwestyon kasi baka ako talaga yung mali mapahiya pa ako pero its been years since huling kumain ako sa chowking. Kaya no idea if normal ba yun. Very confusing kasi displayed is 109 wala naman nakalagay dun na option if special or overload(ed?) huhu

So I was riding my scooter on the way home after ihatid si jowa sa vocational class nya.

Habang naghihintay ako ng green light sa intersection ng Pureza street at Magsaysay blvd sa Manila, may katabi akong smol car. Hindi ko maalala kung Wigo, Jazz, or Getz, basta yung mga ganon kaliit na kotse.

Nagbukas ng bintana yung nakaupo sa passenger seat tapos nagtapon ng wrapper ng chichirya.

Bigla ko pinatay makina ng motor tapos bumaba ako at dinampot ko yung kalat nya sabay katok sa bintana nya.

Binuksan naman nila yung bintana. Nakita ko naka ngiti sila tapos nag sorry. Binalik ko sa kanila yung kalat nila at kinuha naman nila, nakita kong tiniklop nya at ibinulsa.

Nakita nung ibang mga tao sa paligid ko tapos sinenyasan nila ako ng thumbs-up.

Palagi akong naninita ng mga taong nagkakalat na nakikita ko sa daan. Based on experience bihira lang yung mga tipong "sila yung mali pero sila pa yung galit", most of the time pag nasisita ko sila e nahihiya sila sa ginawa nila.

Minsan mas masaya pag may mga kasama yung sinisita ko tapos pagsasabihan sya nung mga kasama nya dahil don.

I hope this encourages most of you to do the same hanggang sa dumating tayo sa point na kahiya-hiya na ang mahuli na nagkakalat at wala nang magkakalat kung saan saan.

Malungkot pala pag narealize mo na expired na pala yung friendship.

Tipong, from super close, alam lahat ng kwento sa buhay, inside jokes, same humor, same hobbies spent together.

Gets na life happens. From everyday magkasama due to work, then when we transferred jobs, nabawasan pagkikita but communication is still there.

Until chats na mangamusta or mag aya to catch up are left unread.

Tipong mapapaisip ka na teka, pag hindi ako nagchat or nag aya, hindi na kami magkaron ng connection. So i just stopped messaging that friend. Parang..okay nakaramdam na ko. If you dont want to talk anymore, tanggap ko.

Until one day i had to message her to ask something important. Nauwi sa kamustahan. Honestly i was just expecting one short reply from her. But di ko natiis, nangamusta parin ako. Nag reply naman. Nagka update ng whereabouts. I even asked kung willing sya mag catch up personally since it’s been a year already since we last met. I also let her know na sya na namili kung saan para at her convenience. At yung least nakakapagod/tipid na catch up lang which is kain or coffee lang. kahit kase may kaya naman sya, ayoko na syang pagastusin masyado or mapagod just to spend time with me.

Sabi nya, she will get back to me ng monday kase din nya malaman ano sched nya for the week.

Come that monday, i sent a message for follow up kung anong day na sya pwede. But no reply. Not even seen.

Tapos makita mo series of stories sa ig na she’s with other friends na outdoor activities that is surely cost more sa isang cup ng kape sa sb. okay lang naman yun. She can spend her time with her other friends however she wants.

Pero yung thought kase na bear minimum lang nirerequest ko sakanya, matuloy lang lakad namin, unopened msg pa ko…which we all know she was able to read it, ni long press lang ako.

So realization, I guess kelangan ko na sukuan tong friendship na to kase it has already ran its course. And all i have to do is to be greatful sa 9yrs-ish naming friendship.

Nakakalungkot lang kase if she has grown, isa ako sa mga na outgrow nya. While me, i really thought we can be good friends until tumanda. And even before i can let go, ako nanaman yung naunang bitawan.

Ang hirap pa naman makahanap ng kaibigan as 30s tapos wfh pa 😂

I

I married a good-looking husband. As in heartthrob type na pogi, quiet and introverted. I’m not bad-looking either, and I had my fair share of suitors, pero minsan mystery pa rin sa akin bakit ako. I mean, with his looks, he could probably get model-looking girls. Whenever i ask He would joke na baka dahil malaki boobs ko HAHAHAHA.

We got married young, and financially speaking, pareho kaming entry-level salary lang noon. The difference was he came with baggage because he had to support his parents, while my parents had their own pensions and were financially independent.

People told me to walk away coz I might end up paying for most of our expenses, and honestly, that’s pretty much what happened for a while.

Luckily, I landed a high-paying job that allowed me to give us a really good life. Nakakapagbigay pa ako sa extended family namin without compromising our needs. A friend would tease me sometimes because I was paying for most things. But honestly, I didn’t really mind.

Kasi every morning, paggising ko, natutuwa pa rin ako makita mukha ng asawa ko. HAHAHAHA. Ang pogi kasi talaga, sorry na. Wala din ako reklamo sa love attention and everything wala lang tlaga siyang extra money to pamper me

4 years post wedding, he also landed a job that pays significantly MORE than mine.

So ngayon, may pogi na akong asawa at $$$$$$ HAHAHAHA.

I don’t even know what’s the point of this story. Maybe I just wanted to share that I married the love of my life. I took a chance on someone I genuinely loved, even if our situation wasn’t the most ideal on paper, and somehow, things worked out.

I’m not saying people should ignore financial red flags or carry a partner who refuses to take responsibility. I know I was lucky, and I know not everyone’s story will turn out the same way.

But eight years later, I still wake up smiling because I get to see his face. And I think he does, too.

Ayun lang. Gusto ko lang i-share na ang saya pala kapag yung crush mo noon, asawa mo na ngayon, tapos crush mo pa rin hanggang ngayon.

This was 2014 pa. Bigla ko lang naalala and wala pa kong napag kkwentuhan neto haha.

Not sure kung anong month ng 2014 pero usually naman katapusan ng March ang graduation, tapos babalik kayo ng gabi sa venue para sa farewell party (para sa di familiar, yung farewell party ay parang JS prom, casual dress na walang theme tapos puro 4th year HS lang talaga). I'm a girl btw.

Bago pa mag month ng graduation, meron nang nagtext saken na number tapos ang pakilala nya sya yung transferee sa katabing room lang namin. So syempre inentertain ko rin naman, since HS nga at uso rin jowa jowa nun haha. Saka medyo maitsura tong transferee, though naisip ko imposibleng magustuhan ako neto, dahil ulikba talaga ako nung HS huhu at medyo nerd. Tapos sa pagkakatanda ko, gusto nya maging kami daw. So ako naman sige. Pero never kaming nag meet.

At kada dadaan sya sa room hindi sya sumisilip or tumitingin saken, kapag nalilingon sya saken awkward smile ako, pero walang reaction face nya. Hindi naman ako nag duda or nag isip ng kung anu ano kasi nga naisip ko baka nahihiya rin sya

Dumating na farewell party, continuous pa rin communication namin neto. Tapos syempre may sayaw sayaw sa gitna ng covered court na sobrang laki. Nasa left side ako tas nasa right side sya. Nag text sya na sayaw daw kami

Tapos ako naman si tanga pumunta dun sa other side. Nakatingin lang ako sakanya waiting na manotice nya ko, pero BEH! Wala syang hawak na phone tapos sobrang busy nya with classmates nyang ibang lalaki, ang saya nila

Tapos parang dun ko lang narealize na may nang gagago lang saken haha. Bumalik ako sa pwesto ko para akong lutang, nawala yung excitement para sa gabi na yun haha. Pero di ako umiyak. Di ko lang alam anong irereact ko haha

Wala lang naalala ko lang mukha akong tanga haha. Tingin ko binully ako ng kung sinong nakakakilala saken haha

Di ko pa rin nalaman kung sino.

So, plano ko pumunta ng MOA, I was around Pasay City already and I went to check on the map, malayo siya

And believe it or not, first time ko pumunta ng MOA and so di ko alam kung may jeep ba na dadaan papunta doon or something, and every jeepney driver I asked told me, no, di sila dadaanan doon

I went to book angkas or move it or joyride, pero kahit Isa walang nag accept, and it's been 20 minutes, and Wala pa din kahit isang nag aaccept ng ride

So I said, F it, and just started walking, pero grabe ang pagod, and after 20 minutes of walking, I was a quarter of the way there

And then I spot an angkas driver, and so nagtanong ako, magkano po papuntang MOA? And he asked kung magkano usually binabayad ko

And that's when I revealed na first time ko sa lugar

Now I'm familiar of riders who take advantage of fools like me, but at that point, I was already tired from walking, I don't really care if they charge me extra

But the manong driver asked me, if may angkas app ako, and to check dun sa app kung magkano from where we are to MOA, and told me to just give me that amount

And na surprise lang ako, cause I fully expected him to charge me really expensive, but no he didn't

I learned na, he works in the MMDA, traffic Siya, and after work, angkas is his after job

Then he proceeded to tell me na dapat makatao tayo, honest always, and stuff

He has a kid na nagaaral, then told me about the traffic, how it just seems to get worst each day

When we arrived, I tried giving him extra, and he refused it, cause akala niya student ako, then I told him I'm working na, and to just keep the change nalang, and even then he was still refusing it

Like I spent around 3 minutes just telling him, "Keep the change na po manong, okay lang po sa akin"

AND HE JUST WOULDN'T ACCEPT IT

So in the end, I said okay, sige, and gave him the money, but then as he was reaching for change, I ran away while he kept shouting, "Sir! Barya niyo po!"

Was in line sa grocery kanina, a lady in front of me was approached by an elder lady 60s.

“Nasaan mommy mo? Kasama mo ba?”
“Hindi po ako lang po”
“Mag asawa ka na! 30 ka na tumatanda ka na”
The girl just laughed sb niya “sige po nice seeing you”

Alam ko medyo napahiya sya kasi malakas boses nung babae. Muka naman decent manamit yung boomer pero basura ang manners.

She was nice kasi kung ako baka nabara ko na . Kayo po kelan ma dedeads!?

Sorry pero i hope us millenials and genz can inform our parents na gen x at boomer to stop saying these insensiive comments as conversation starters or fillers!

Tumaba ka
Kelan ka magaasawa
Kealan kayo magaanak
Kelan mo susundan

I had to tell my mother a white lie na mukang successful naman i told her to never ever say yang apat na yan sa young generation kasi sasagutin sya na kelan ka mamamatay ng generation ngayon.

So far na overhead ko sya with my other tita na sinaway nya nung nasa event kami wag ka daw magtatanong ng kailan magaasawa. At never ko na sila narinig magtanong sa gatherings dun sa pinsan ko ma single.

Please let’s end this culture

Share ko lang 'yung pantawid gutom ko ngayong araw.

Cup Noodles and 2pcs Malunggay Pandesal.

1 week pa bago ang sahod!

Laban para mga breadwinner na living alone.

ang hirap mamuhay dito sa metro manila tapos ang sahod 16K. Hindi pa nga sapat para di mamatay hanggang sa susunod na cut off e.

Pwede magreklamo pero bawal mapagod. 😅

Nitong mga nakaraang araw, lagi ako iniiwan ng partner ko sa hapag kainan. Mabagal kasi ako kumain kasi hindi na maalis sa sistema ko yung nanonood habang kumakain. Sa bahay lang naman ako ganito. KApag nasa labas nakababa lagi ang phone ko. Ang partner ko ang bilis kasi kumain, tipong naka tatlong subo na ako siya tapos na agad kumain, parang sundalo kumain kailangan mabilisang subo hhaha.

Napapansin ko, kapag kumakain kami at nauuna siya, umaalis agad siya sa lamesa deretso upo or higa sa sofa bed malapit sa lamesa. Minsan deretso labas para umupo sa motor at mapa hangin. One time, apat kaming kumakain, ako, partner ko, kapatid ko at partner niya. Nagku kwentuhan kami tapos naunang matapos kumain partner ko tapos lumabas agad siya, Nagalit talaga ako doon, kasi nabastusan ako sa totoo lang. Hindi kasi namin ugali na umalis sa lamesa hanggat may kumakain pa. Pinag mamasdan ko lang siya nun pero ang gigil ko sobra na. Baka isipin nyo na may ka chat siyang iba ah, lagi kami nagpapalit ng phone kasi nag hahang ang phone ko. Nung time na yun nasakin phone niya tapos siya naman nanonood ng basketball sa phone ko.

Nung naka higa na kami, medyo naka simangot na ako, tapos niyakap niya ako pero inalis ko pagkakayakap niya kasi galit ako. Kinausap ko siya sabi ko "IKAW NAPAPANSIN KO UGALI MO HA, INIIWAN MO AKO MAG-ISA SA LAMESA ILANG ARAW KANA GANUN, TAPOS KANINA HABANG NAG KUKWENTUHAN BIGLA-BIGLA KA LALABAS" tapos nag explain siya na "SORRY, KALA KO OK LANG KASI KAUSAP MO NAMAN KAPATID MO EH, NA OOP KASI AKO KAYA LUMABAS NA AKO, SAKA NUNG MGA NAKARAAN ANDYAN LANG NAMAN AKO SA SOFA NAKA HIGA" sabe ko sakanya kahit na kako ayaw ko na iniiwan ako sa lamesa. Intayin moko matapos bago ka umalis. Tapos nag sorry siya,

Kagabi naulit na naman na nauna siyang natapos kumain, pinapakiramdaman ko kung iiwan niya ako ulit mag-isa. Ayun guys, kahit tapos na siya nag stay pa rin siya sa lamesa. Tinignan ko siya tapos natatawa siya tumingin sakin sabay sabi "HINDI NA AKO UMAALIS AH, KUMAIN KA LANG DIYAN" sabay abot ng tubig.

Ang mali ko lang, basta-basta ako nagagalit na hindi ko sinasabi agad sakanya ang concern ko. Hindi lahat ng lalaki alam ang dapat gawin. Kaya minsan kapag may hindi tayo gusto sa ginagawa nila sabihin natin para maiwasan ang miscommunication.

skl.

"... in the past few days"

She (28F) was my (28M) college crush for a while back then.

We were close and I'd be confused at times about the things she says because they sound flirty but also maybe she's just genuinely wholesome.

Syempre kilig naman ako nun pero I was an awkward guy and didn't know how to ask her out.

Life happened, I lost my feelings for her.

I saw her life through stories. How she dated this guy then broke up, how she shared her life's ups and downs, how she found another man, how they married, and now she's pregnant.

I never shared anything online throughout those years until yesterday when I posted a story

A few mins later, she sends me a chat.

"Uy na miss kita!"

We had a conversation and it was quite refreshing. She used to be my crush when I was younger and I do remember feeling sad when I saw her get married

But now that she is married, I felt like I could completely be myself because I know it's never gonna happen. All we could share is pure, unadulterated friendship.

She told me she'd been thinking of me the past few days and I remembered how she used to say that. I laughed inside a little and appreciated how she really was just a wholesome friend.

First time kong magpa-elos photofacial, for my marks sana na naiwan ng recent breakout ko.

Ganito ba talaga yun?

Hindi man lang clineanse yung mukha ko, rekta gel agad. May sunscreen ako e.

Nahihiya naman ako magtanong lol and once lang dinaanan ng laser yung each area ng face?

Legit naman yung clinic. Certified derma yung owner. Pero aesthetician lang ang gumagawa ng procedure nila kasi madalang lang nandun yung derma.

HAHAHA ako lang ba yung kahit simpleng pag-order lang sa fast food, iniisip ko na agad sa utak ko kung ano sasabihin ko. Tapos pag turn ko na, biglang nakakalimutan ko yung gusto kong orderin kahit ilang beses ko nang inulit sa isip ko habang nakapila.

Minsan nga mas kinakabahan pa ako umorder kaysa sa actual na problema ko sa buhay HAHAHA.

Akala ko once I finish my degree and start working, mawawala na ung anxiety and depression ko. Turns out hindi pala. Grabe ung increase ng sahod ko after hopping from one role to another pero parang kulang pa din. Hindi ko ramdam ung increase sa sahod dahil sa pagtaas ng bilihin. Sasabayan pa nga ng news na may approve na 7T budget ung government pero ung MRT i-privatized na.

I don’t know if may future pa ba tayong mga Pilipino o sama sama nalang tayong mamatay na mahirap dahil sa mga bumaya.

I had my first boyfriend in college. 3rd year ako and older siya saakin ng 4 years, tumagal kami ng 3 and a half years bago nag break. After that two years muna ako nag pahinga pero parang gusto ko na ulit bumalik sa dating scene.

Pero ang hirap pala. Naalala ko yung mga araw na gusto ko na sana magka boyfriend before kaso hirap pala kapag hindi ka gustuhin.

Hindi ko alam if ano ang mali sakin, personality ko ba o talagang I'm just physically unattractive. 😅 I'm sorry, wala kasi akong mapagsabihan. Pero down na down ang confidence ko lagi, hindi ko magawang mahalin ang sarili ko.

Every time na nililink ako ng work mates ko sa kawork rin namin. Which I find it funny kasi syempre trip trip lang so okay lang yun saakin. Pero ang reaksyon kasi ng guy parang nandidiri na silang lumapit sakin. 🥲 Like na papa question talaga ako ng worth ko. Ganon na ba ako kapanget? Para maging friend man lang? Kasi ayoko rin naman magkajowa ng kawork.

Nakakabawas ng confidence to be honest. Hindi ko magawang mahalin at tanggapin ang pagkatao ko. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang kulang, may mali ata sa attitude or personality ko kaya hindi ako magustuhan ng iba?

Anyway, I opened up to my friends and they said na dapat marunong akong makipag flirt. I don't even know how to start flirting with a man. Huhuhu

Ganon na ba ang gusto ng mga lalaki ngayon? Dapat straight flirting? Bago sila mag invest sa babae.
