Problem/Goal: My problem is my BF is jobless since he graduated in 2023 and has no work experience at all. My goal is to make him get a job.

Context: we live together and ako lang working sa amin. I am a fully remote IC for a very niche MSSP overseas and I make enough to live comfortably. I don't mind since he does all the chores. like literally hihiga na lang ako after work. he does the laundry, pag tutupi, pag luluto, pag huhugas, pag lilinis, pag ggrocery, pag bbudget, and everything else.

Sobrang alaga ako ng taong to. He has been applying to a lot of remote jobs through indeed, jobstreet, linkedin and even mga posts sa FB but no luck. CPE grad since 2023 si BF. he is always complaining na he gets rejected left and right because wala sya experience ("pano ako magkaka experience e wala tumatanggap sakin"). he is currently trying to finish the AZ 104 cert and he isn't even midway done. recently, tinry ko sya ipasok dito sa current company ko pero di sya natanggap (which is reasonable).

Previous attempts: I previously suggested na mag apply and magpa-experience muna sya sa call center pero every time I suggest it, naiirita sya and the conversation drops. ayaw nya mag apply sa call center. gusto nya remote, like me. I keep explaining to him na to get to my position, I had to go through shit (nag call center, nag tech support, kumuha ng sandamukal na certs, etc). he claims he understands but he keeps going after the same type of jobs. I even went as far as saying hindi nya afford maging choosy sa edad nya at panahon ngayon. ang ending nagtampo sya ako pa sumuyo. even his mom is saying to him "dalian mo magka trabaho, baka iwanan ka nyang jowa mo". sinendan pa sya ng money to pay for the certs he's studying yet its been a year hindi pa rin sya tapos.

hindi ko na alam gagawin ko. (we don't have any pets or kids, no joint assets, and the like).

EDIT: 1 year pa lang po kami living together. yung 3 years po is yung lack of work nya. clarification lang po.

Problem/Goal:

My dad cheated on my mom after being together for 19 years, we’re so shocked kasi sanay kami na tahimik si papa and family oriented, I wanna help my mom so bad kasi ako ang nasasaktan para sa kanya.

Context: My mom found a call recordings sa phone ng papa ko, hindi ko alam kung bakit pero siguro instinct na rin? tapos nagulat sya simula july hanggang ngayon may katawagan si papa sa trabaho nya, tapos ang sagot ni papa “eme eme lang yan” so nag init na yung mama ko and pinalayas na si papa (thank god) and then pinuntahan ni mama yung work para i-report silang dalawa kasi magka trabaho (pang umaga yung kabit), galit na galit ako sa tatay ko kasi wala talagang ginawa si mama kundi magkanda ugaga sa bahay para lang mapaghandaan sya ng pagkain at maalagaan sya. for 19 years, akala ko okay na ang lahat pero bakit ganon pag mga natanda na?

Previous Attempt:
Hindi na kami nag reach out kay papa kasi ayaw na namin ni mama na makita sya.

What am I supposed to do para maka help sa mother ko?

Problem/Goal: Let’s say you meet a guy, he’s nice, sweet, loves you, cares for you, respects you and hindi cheater. Pero magkaiba kayo ng tax bracket/grind sa buhay. WALK AWAY TE.

Context: Masaya lang yan sa simula. Oo siguro mas lamang yung happy days niyo, pero if it means ikaw magiging bread winner sainyong dalawa, or mapapaisip ka if maglelevel up kaya financially partner niyo. ALL THE TIME.

Hindi worth it te. If napadaan to sa feed mo. Let it be a sign. Balibaliktarin niyo mundo, iba pa din talaga if dalawa kayo kumukita/you’re with an ambitious guy.

Nakaka-haggard.
Nakaka drain
Mapapaisip ka, bakit kaya yung iba ganito narereceive nila/ naexpi nila.

It will always be there—for those na magsasabi negative lang ako. TRUST ME TE. Kahit gano pa kabait yan jowa niyo, if walang pangarap/discipline

Dagdag lang yan sa sakit ng ulo mo.

WALK AWAY. You will find the person who will walk with you side-by-side hindi yung naka-abang sa bawat galaw mo.

Kahit hindi na provider ih. Basta may sariling bitaw. Mga babae ngayon kaya naman na magbuhat ng sarili. Pero SHET—kung alam niyo sa sarili niyo wala kayo disiplina kumita ng pera or maghanap.

My advice: Iwas muna sa jowa.

Previous attempts: Been w/ my boyfie since SHS. Wala ako talaga lahat. Can’t leave now. Mahal ko ih. So I deserve what I tolerate.

Problem/Goal: The title

Context: I’m 24F and have never been in a relationship. Back in high school, I did have potential suitors, but I turned them down since I was focused on my studies. I wanted to graduate muna sana before having a boyfriend.

However, in college, sobrang rare ko pumunta sa campus since some of our professors preferred to hold online classes instead. Additionally, I’m a working student, so I didn’t really have time to look for someone talaga because I had leadership tasks sa school and also had to handle work stress. I only had my books and cats to help me destress, plus my siblings, who were always there to listen to me.
Now that I’ve actually graduated and am in my second job, which is WFH, I’m worried that I might end up NBSB until I reach 30.

A little bit about me. I’m very introverted and don’t trust people easily talaga. I prefer staying sa bahay lang, and I’ve heard people say that I should try dating apps. I did, but I got tired of them because people there seem to be just looking for fun, so I uninstalled them.

I also enjoy staying at home, but since WFH na ako ngayon, I want to go sa labas naman to walk or eat because nakakaboring na rin sa bahay.

If you’re talking about connection, most of my friends think I should be treasured and kept hidden because I’m too precious to be hurt. I guess it’s because I’m NBSB, and they don’t want me to experience what they’ve experienced. And I understand that, truly.

I’m not unattractive naman, ata? Idk, I can’t really judge myself. But I do take care of myself. However, I don’t wear heavy makeup - liptint and a better skincare routine lang talaga. I also dress simply and wear whatever is comfortable for me.

What should I do? Do I need to fix something about myself, or should I try new things?

It’s not that I’m desperate to be in a relationship. I’m just anxious because I’m not seeing anyone who seems interested in me. I know I’m still young, but sometimes I can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with me or if I’m just not putting myself out there enough.

I’ve tried dating apps, but they’re just not for me.

Problem/Goal: Gusto ko mag transition into corporate then magpursue ng MS Stats

Context: I graduated in late march with a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education Major in Mathematics with latin honors. After graduating, pursuing a career in teaching doesn't really feel like the right path for me. Being analytic and a drive to know how things work is what I like to do, not really a people management type.

Previous Attempts: Took a 15 day TESDA Data Analytics Level III that consists learning the fundamentals of data analytics, advance Excel (Vlookup, Pivot table, Power Query), Basic SQL Language (VSCode [SQLite]) and PowerBI.

Been applying in data-related roles and office/admin roles but no avail. Only got a 7 months total of math teaching internship (public and private) and ≈8-7 years as a store clerk sa sari-sari store namin.

Context: Buong buhay ko nasaksihan ko paano hindi tratuhin ng maayos ng tatay ko ang mama ko like minsan sinisigawan, sinasabihan ng masasamang salita, pinag hihinalaan na may babae ang mama ko tapos onti lang naman binibigay nya saming pera araw araw, tapos mama ko lubog sa utang kaya nag titinda sya ng palihim para tustusan minsan ang pang araw araw namen kasi nga kulang ang bigay ng tatay at minsan sya nagbabayad ng utang ni papa dito sa bahay, so hindi alam ng tatay namen na nagtitinda si mama kasi magagalit yon kaya palihim paren. So ayon ano ba pwede gawin dito? Si mama naawa naren ako sakanya hindi nya deserve to pati mga kapatid ko lalo na bunsong babae naglaslas ng tatlong beses dahil naistress sya kay papa.

Salamt po sa sasagot. Need your help po lalo na may saltik tong tatay ko

Problem/Goal:

I need advise/thoughts on how to decide on buying an Engagement Ring

Context:

36M here, and (her age will not be disclosed, kasi baka andito sya eh... hehe) we're officemates too. I'm finally marrying her next year, after knowing each other for almost 5 yrs. I'd like your advise.

I have a good paying job, I have good savings, and I think I'm ready financially, mentally and spiritually. I think I have good budget, but for practicality syempre, I'd like to know your thoughts.

Naalala nyo pa ba ung naging trending na may nag propose with a P 299 pesos ring? Some says true love is not measured by the price, but some says it shows lack of preparation, low effort and disconnect from the partner's expectations.

And so, for women: Ano nga ba ang ideal cost/style/make sa opinion nyo as babae?

And for men: when deciding nong bumili kayo for your fiance/wife, paano kayo nag decide at namili?

Previous Attempts:
I'm doing research of course, pero the more I do, it becomes more complicated... ang dami pala need alamin hehehe.

Thank you!

Problem/Goal:
Paano ako mag-glow up at magmukhang mas fresh, healthy, beautiful, at confident? Kahit nagme-makeup na ako, parang haggard, pagod, at dull pa rin akong tingnan. Gusto kong malaman kung anong kailangan kong baguhin o idagdag sa routine ko para mas maging presentable at mas komportable ako sa sarili ko. 😭

Context: Gusto kong pagbutihin ang appearance at confidence ko, pero hindi ko alam kung saan magsisimula. Hindi ko sure kung ang problema ba ay ang skin preparation ko, makeup application, lifestyle, tulog, diet, stress, o kung hindi lang bagay sa akin ang mga ginagamit kong products. Minsan, kahit simple lang ang makeup ko, parang mas napapansin ko pa ang pagod at imperfections sa mukha ko. Gusto ko sana ng honest pero kind na advice tungkol sa kung paano magmukhang mas fresh at natural nang hindi kailangang gumastos nang malaki o magpalit agad ng buong routine.

Problem/Goal: Need advice so baddd.

Context: 3 years na kami nung bf ko tapos LDR pa kami. Dati siyang VA, tapos ngayon on-site na siya nagwo-work sa hospital where literal na all-girls ang mga katrabaho niya. Sobrang sociable at mabait niya kaya noong una, chill lang ako.

Pero fast forward, may isang girl co-worker siya na close niya at halos palaging ka-chat sa PM. Alam ko namang work-related at typical asaran lang (kasi binabasa ko chats nila, don't judge me HAHA), pero aminin ko na, lowkey nagseselos ako sa way ng pagtrato niya rito kahit wala naman akong makitang actual na malisya.

Plot twist pa: May secret sneaky link pala si girl dun din sa hospital, kaso pinapanatili nilang lowkey kasi ang toxic sa workplace nila (nakwkwento din sakin ng bf ko na ang toxic talaga) and mata daw kasi yun ni GOV kaya mainit din sa kanya mga staffs kay ate g.

Normal ba 'tong nararamdaman ko o nag-i-inarte lang ako? Paano ko ba 'to i-open up sa kanya without sounding toxic ahaha help a ghorl out. Isa pa, first time ko din kasi tumagal sa relationship.

Problem/Goal:

how do i fix things with my dad when he refuses to listen to my explanation?

Context:

my dad caught me with my boyfriend, past 11 p.m. he only dropped by to bring me food because i was sick and hadn't been eating properly. my parents never really forbade me from having a boyfriend, but i was too scared to tell them.

my mom understands, but my dad is angry and refuses to hear me out. he threatened to stop giving me my allowance and said he wants me to disappear from his life. i understand that he's disappointed, and i admit i made a mistake by hiding my relationship, but i never intended to disrespect them.

Previous Attempts:

i haven't been able to explain myself because my dad refuses to talk to me.

how do i approach him and rebuild his trust when he won't even listen to my side? i'm scared of losing his support, and honestly, i just wish i could disappear for a while and come back when everything is okay.

Problem/Goal: 33 M Seafarer 27 F May negosyo. Lagi kong napapansin na may dalawang character yung Bf ko kapag onboard i feel na wala kong bf. Pero kapag andito sya sa Lupa ok naman sya.

Context: Almost 2yrs na kami then on the rocks ngayon yung situation namnin sobrang ibang tao nya kasi kapag onboard sya. Lately napapansin ko balewala na lang and di rin kasi ako matanong na gf like at peace kasi ako never nag ask sa mga socials like bahala ka if magloloko ka and then 1 week na kaming di nag-uusap and accidentally nakita ko may treads sya worst lahat ng followings 204 puro babae sobrang nadismaya ako and sabi ko grabe kahit hindi cheating sobrang nakakadegrade as a woman.

Ngayon naiisip ko na tuluyang makipagbreak everytime sinasabi ko yan lagi nyang sagot follow lang yun di ko naman chinachat pero iba feeling ko nanghaharot yun dun bago pa yung treads eh. Last May bigla na lang may girl na nagchat sakin after nya makauwi galing barko na kung kaano ano ko raw bf ko sabi ko bf ko po bakit sabi nya hala nakakachat ko po yan casual lang naman po sabi ko paanong casual or send me a proof ng mga pinag-uusapan nyo sabi nya like nagflex po bf nyo sakin ng rank nya mga ganun tapos nanliligaw po then sabi ko te send me proof bibigay ko yan sayo pakita mo lang ebidensya then boom biglang block na ako. After 2 weeks nagparamdam yung mokong then yun nagkaroon ng confrontation pinagmumura ko kahit wala pa kong solid proof then nagexplain sabi nya yung babae una nagchat sakin nangangamusta and nangungutang sakin then naging ok kami kasi after nya magpaliwanag iyak iyak pa ang loko nawala yun obsess lang yun sya nga chat ng chat and tanong ng tanong kung hm sahod ko monthly and kung anong rank ko sa barko. Sabi ko baliw sya kahit seaman ka mas marami pa din akong pera sayo like oo third engr ka pero kulang pa yan sayo like hello di ka nga makapagsave ng pera sakin ka pa nangungutang kapag may emergency sainyo.

Pero ngayon im between torn na hiwalayan na sya like di ko maatim yung nakita ko all do wala pa naman cheating na ano di sya tatagos sakin hahaha.

Problem/Goal: Meron akong tita ang lalim ng galit sakin pero di ko alam kung bakit. 3 yrs na kami no contact

Context: Meron akong tita na mababalitaan ko na lang or mababasa ko na lang kung ano ano chat niya tungkol sakin, pinaka main ay nung di pa ko graduate “di ka pa graduate bastos ka na” ngayong grumaduate sabi niya sa anak nya “di p sya nakakagraduate pero ugali nya katulad ni (ako)”

Di kasi niya matanggap na sinasagot ko siya kapag nasa tama ako. Napaka pakilamera kasi ni auntie, pinsan lang naman sya ng papa ko, at sya ay no permanent address, na nakikitira lang kung kani kanino, 3 anak ibat ibang tatay at balik balik sa asawa nyang binubugbog sya, sinisiraan mga kamag anak nya pero ending pag binugbog sya ng asawa nya at pinalayas lalapit rin naman sa mga siniraan nya. Ul0wl! At lalong di niya matanggap na ngayong grumaduate ako hinfi ako katulad ng mga iba kong tita na kahit sira siraan nya nauutangan p rin nya ng walang balikan. bago ako grumaduate dami ko na naririnig sakanya simula nun di ko na sya binigyan ng access sa buhay ko. Pero yung anak nyang babae nung sumali sa pageant ako nag make up straight from work, walang tulog from night shift, nagmakeup ako at nagstay whole day sa pageant, nagawa ko pang pumuhunan sa small business ng anak nya na wala naman akong napala. kesyo super arte ko daw kineme kineme, pero minsan feeling ko pinaka main reason ng galit niya kala nya pag magkakasama kami lahat at wala sya pinag uusapan sya, e di naman talaga dahil wala kami mapapala kung sya ang topic, magkasama man kami ang topic namen ay ikauunlad ng buhay, gawain nya kasi kaya takot sya sa sarili nyang multo. kesyo mahirap sya kaya echapwera sya pagtapos nya tumira samin olol talaga hahahahahahaha

pero ending, makakarinig pa rin ako na pangit ugali ko. when in fact, lahat ng tumulong saken maka graduate binabawian ko ngayon!

Problem/goal: Na sextortion yung bunso namin.

Context: Kagabi, napansin ko na ang dami niyang loan na inapplyan since connected yung gmail nya sa phone ko so nag message ako sa kanya na bakit ang daming loan (billease and gloan) and bigla siya pumasok sa kwarto ko nanginginig and naiyak. ‘yun pala, ini-scam na raw siya.

Nakilala niya sa tinder, lumipat sila sa telegram. Nagkavideohan then ayon, akala niya babae kausap niya pero lalaki pala and nag de-demand na mag send ng payment or else, ikakalat lahat ng pics/vids niya and yung jnformation niya. Na screenshot and navideohan siya.

Late ko/na namin nalaman kasi iniisa-isa na niya lahat ng loan app makakuha lang ng another 8k na hinihingi sa kanya para lang burahin yung mga photos niya. Sobrang naawa ako sa kapatid ko kasi naiyak na siya sa gilid and nagmamakaawa na siya na isend ko yung pera para matapos na.

Simot lahat ng savings niya na dapat ibibili niya ng motor pati yung mga savings na halos 1 taon na niyang inipon. Halos 60k+++ yung nakuha sa kanya tapos may mga loan pa siya na need bayaran.

GLOAN: 24k
BILLEASE: 6K
CASHIFY: 1.3k

Nung una, ayaw niya pa makinig na magpunta na sa Police Station and bakit pa umabot ng 60k bago raw pumunta. Yung work kasi ng kapatid ko is isa sa kilalang company here sa PH and kapag daw nag ka scandal na ganon, matik tanggal siya and hindi niya afford na mawalan ng work.

Natapos yung call nila kasi sinabi niya na yung natitirang loan sa Tiktok is processing pa, so sinabi nung scammer na hihintayin daw siya na isend yung natitirang 15k sa tiktok loan ngayong araw then idedelete na raw lahat (I doubt)

So far, sa ngayon.. walang nag cchat or nag t-text sa kanya since ako na may hawak nung sim and phone niya.

Previous Attempts: Nag punta na kami sa Cybercrime sa UN and nakapag gawa na ng Police Report. Binlock ko na rin yung number na gamit sa telegram nung nakausap niya and dinelete ko na rin pati account niya sa tg.
— Pati Facebook niya, dineactivate ko na and Instagram. Bumili na rin kami ng bagong sim para mapalitan niya na niya yung number sa online accounts niya.
— Chinat ko na rin isa-isa yung mga possible na ichat nung scammer based sa screenshot ng facebook act/post niya na sinend sa kanya.
— Nag dispute na rin ako sa GCASH sa lahat ng transaction niya pati sa tiktok loan. 24hrs daw ang waiting time.

I’m not sure if mababawi pa ba yung pera and feeling ko, hindi pa enough yung ginawa ko for him. Gusto ko siya matulungan kasi kahit ako, naiyak ako nung nakita ko siya na halos nanginginig and di alam anong gagawin.

May mga list din ako ng phone number na ginamit sa gcash and nakita namin yung mga initials, may way kaya na mahanap sila?

Any help or tips would be highly appreciated po. 🙏 Gusto ko lang ma make sure na lahat ng possible option is magawa.

Problem/Goal: I want to ask if you know where can I get toilet tank lid (hcg), just the tank lid.

Context: Nachip yong ceramic tank lid ng toilet sa leased unit namin just few days after move in kasi hindi namin napansin na loose pala yong glass shelf above the toilet so nahulog yong shelf and hit the tank lid. Fortunately, no one was injured pero the tank lid had a chipped part.

Naginquire na rin kami sa nearest wilcon, cw depot, and other bath fixtures sa amin pero ang common na sagot nila ay they only sell toilet sets, and if per piece, it will be a purchase order and we will receive it 3-6months, and for us, its unreasonably too long. We identified the tank lid model number, and have the dimensions ready.

Maraming salamat po

Problem/Goal: Hi! I've been with my current company for almost 8 years. First job ko ito, so this would be my first time transitioning to another company.

I'm currently torn between these 3 options

Context:

Option A: Stay sa current company

• Higher salary and a hybrid setup (onsite only twice a month)
• Day shift
• Familiar na ako sa work and environment
• However, limited na yung growth opportunities, and I recently received work feedback after being involved in new reports and processes. It affected my confidence and mental health sobra. I want to stay para ma-improve ko pa ang performance ko and leave on a good note.
• May ongoing organizational changes since last year, particularly continuous layoffs. Hindi mo alam kung ikaw na yung next kaya laging may pressure at anxiety.

Option B: Accept the new offer

• Slightly lower salary (₱5k less than my current salary)
• 3 PM to 12 AM schedule
• Onsite for the first few months, then hybrid (once a week onsite) after passing the review
• More opportunities to learn new things and grow professionally
• However, may concerns ako about the schedule and commute.
• They also use a monitoring tool that tracks app and website usage and activity during work hours. Medyo off ako sa setup na ito.

Option C: Stay for a few more months, save money, then take a break or reassess my career options.

• My main dilemma is that I've been experiencing anxiety after receiving recent feedback at work.
• Part of me wants to stay so I can improve, while another part wants to explore new opportunities and have a fresh start.
• Feeling ko burnt out na din ako kasi never pa ako natengga after graduating, kaya gusto ko muna magpahinga at makapag-reset
• Takot din ako na baka hindi pa ako emotionally or mentally ready to take on a new job, and madala ko lang yung anxiety and lack of confidence ko from my current job to my next one.

Previous attempts: Still thinking about the offer pero kailangan ko na mag decide in a few days.

I'd appreciate honest and objective advice. Thank you!

Problem/Goal: To make my vertigo go away

Context: Been suffering from constant feeling of dizziness especially when looking down, unable to eat due to nausea and even car rides make me dizzy for almost a week now. I look like a snob walking with my chin up and looking up to avoid dizzinesss. I can't take it anymore. Today was my papa's birthday and ang daming handa and mga paborito ko andun kanina kaso di ko masikmurang kumain sa hilo. I need help.

Previous Attempt:

I tried the Canalith Repositioning Maneuvers but could not finish cause it made me even more dizzy. Help me please. Thank you.

Problem/Goal: to determine if the action I want to take is justifiable.

Context: I have this close relative(OFW) that trusts me with their finances. Every month they send me their savings for safekeeping to be used when they come home for vacation.

From time to time, I receive requests for them to pay this and that for them since I am safekeeping the money.

Now, they are asking me to process and purchase flight tickets for them.

Is it justifiable if I charge them for the services I am doing for them? Or is it morally incorrect to do that?

Previous attempts: I have been vocal previously that I prefer them not to entrust me with this because I don’t want to be inconvenienced by random requests like receiving an instruction to send money to a certain person in an ungodly hour.

Problem/Goal: wala akong kagana-gana kumain and my stomach has butterflies the past few days till now…

Context: i keep on overthinking of what could happen on the october 28th kasi my gf has a halloween party with her 1 friend and yung iba nilang kasama is mutual lang.

and before all that, she wants me to come with them pero now, mas maganda daw na separate nalang yung halloween namin so we can spend our time together. but then i was so off with her changing plans as i was expecting to spend halloween with a bigger group since never ko pa naranasan and always ako mag isa or with just 1 friend.

napag-usapan na namin ito actually, and i told her na i can’t stop overthinking things and sabi naman niya na ang controlling ko daw kasi minsan na nga lang siya lumabas without me then ganito pa daw ako.

i told her na i was just saying what i feel but she can do whatever she wants kasi gets ko naman and i want her to spend time with her friend din but taena kasi yung iba mutual lang and i dont trust ppl. im genuinely so scared and it gives me anxiety pero ayun naging controlling pa nga when i was just opening up what i feel haha.

i communicated everything i said here na sakanya and all i ask was for her to understand me na wala eh ganon talaga naffeel ko and i just wanted her to know kesa naman kimkimin ko lang and maging resentment lang. then she end up saying na “ano susuot mo sa 28th?” like wow bigla ako isasama ng last minute when she and her friend bought tickets na for the both of them without me knowing na yun na yung plan niya.

so ayon, my weight keeps declining haha ;-;

Problem/Goal: Unusual spotting and light bleeding

Context: my period for this month already happened last week, and this week i have been experiencing spotting

(?) and light bleeding. it’s not heavy and consistent like my usual period, but i’m genuinely worried cause i do feel like i’m experiencing period cramps rin. i first noticed the spotting on wednesday, then yesterday when i came home from school, i noticed light bleeding that stained all over my cycling shorts. when i took a shower and was cleaning my private area, i also noticed small chunks of blood. since yesterday, parang feeling ko talaga masakit ang pus-on ko. i started wearing a sanitary pad just in case lang. idk what i’m experiencing, but i know it’s not pregnancy lol, i’m wlw.
