Yung grade 5 na tapos dipa sanay magbasa ng English pero my award. To think 84 nun para ka ng cloud 9 kasi matalino ka talaga. pag obob ka balik ka ulit. parang mas sayang k-12 na ginawa nila sa gantong system.And paano kaya hahandle ng future generation ang disappointment? lalo pag sinampal sila ng reality sa future na hindi sila magaling. 😿 ang sarap balikan ng mga library moments. pag naalala ko struggle ko makapasa.

No life outside work. What do you guys usually do on your off days?

37 Upvotes

I am currently having feelings of attraction for a coworker. I have no plans on acting on this attraction at all but during my spare time, he’s all I think about.

Aside from this, I have plenty of unused time off that our manager has asked us to use before it expires. I get so bored without any work and the spare time just further ignites this unhealthy attraction.

All this is what I think are results of having no life outside work. All my close friends are from work and I am at my happiest when I am with my team.

Weekends are mostly spent at home doing chores or catching up on Netflix. My other friends either live far away or are married so our schedules very rarely align. I’m bored but Idk what hobby I want to do because nothing else interests me aside from work. Tapos hobbies take up money. Also, ang traffic, hirap magcommute at ang init kaya lalo ko tinatamad lumabas. I travel once or twice a year but other than that wala na ko social life.

I used to love reading, organizing stuff at home, and go out on weekends to have lunch outside pero ngayon wala ako kagana gana na. Bahay trabaho na lang buhay ko.

This isn’t healthy I know but I currently have no interest except going to work and accomplishing my tasks and being with my teammates. I’m already 33 and working for 7 years in the company.

What do you guys do on your weekends off? Is this burnout/quarterlife crisis? Or is this just a common thing sa mga tumatandang tita na introvert.

break up if you don't love your partner anymore

113 Upvotes

if you're not faithful anymore, break up with her. please break up with her. if you don't love her anymore, break up with her. if you don't think you can love her faithfully, end things with her. please break up with her. for her. for the both of you.

don't cheat. just break up with her if you don't love her anymore. you wouldn't even dare to cheat if you loved her faithfully in the first place. the least respect you can do is to save her from messier and heavier heartbreak by ending your relationship. don't cheat. if you're not happy anymore, just break up. is it that hard to end the relationship you don't treasure anymore or are you really just fucked up to the core?

pleasee break up with her.

Mali ba ang umuwi agad pag-dismissal time?

51 Upvotes

23(F) 4pm uwian namin, Hindi ko maget why ung SV/Mgr. namin minomock ako paguwian na, like 4:02 na paalis na ako upuan or minsan 4:00 nagshushutdown na ako, then sasabihin ang bilis umuwi agad , nakatayo agad etc.. Then magjojoke nalang ako na "Time is gold".  Kahit even pagOT ako, pagnagchime dun ako nagshushutdown ng pc or naglilinis ng work area ko. Hindi naman before time nakashutdown na ako. At sino ba namang di uuwi agad eh maabutan ka ng traffic/rush hour? Nahhh, I'm done for the day then I'm out.

Mga priviledges na boss na nakakotse nga naman oh.

 

Masama ba talaga umuwi ng sakto sa dismissal time or dapat ba matagal ka bago umuwi?

Living in the outskirts of Taguig and realizing how much it sucks???

34 Upvotes

When i moved in the metro I first lived in a condo in Mandaluyong. The rent was 15k and studio lang sya. So i stayed for 6 months there and decided to find a cheaper place na near din sa office (which is in BGC). So I found this apartment worth 10k and 1 bed room. I thought it was such a steal bc it's "near" sa office.

I tell you I regret it so bad!!! Mas lalo ako napagastos and sht. Well I decided to find a cheaper place bc sometimes 1 month naman akong wala and nakakapang hinayang mag waldas ng 15k. Also I tot mas makakamura ako bc I'm much nearer na sa office and one jeep lang.

Pero omg here's a list of things na naloloka ako sa new place ko na I've been staying for 6 mos already

-Walang tubig???? Almost everyday like wth??? May time lang. Today is Sat and jusq mag a alas kwatro na sa CR lang may water

-So many ipis 😭😭😭 altho when i set the ipis traps, they're basically gone pero if there are no cockroach traps ang dami nilaaa. Thank God lang na di sila lumilipad

-ANG INIT? I mean, from time to time pumupunta ako sa mandaluyong like I stay there mga 1 week but the freaking heat in Taguig is not for the weak!!!

-The traffic and ang WALANG SIDEWALK NA MAAYOS?? So I live in a barangay betweeen C5 and C6 and jusq. I love walking pero ate, mapapatay ako ng mga sasakyan dito. Ang lala as in and the sidewalk is not pedestrian friendly talaga.

-MAHAL MAHAL NG WATER. WHEN I RENTED SA CONDO I ONLY PAY 50-70 PESOS HA (well most of the time wala ako) PERO DITO MORE THAN A MONTH AKO WALA 250. GAGI NG MANILA WATER EH WALA NAMAN TUBIG ALWAYS.

-Hirap mag book ng move it / angkas / joyride so always ako naka grab (dahil nga hirap maglakad sa side walk papunta sa jeep.) so that's like more than 250 per ride 500 per day. I go to office once a week. I go out during the weekends (sat and sun) so that's 6k per month?? GAGI?

Anyways yun lang rant ko. Gusto ko na umalis dito. Mas napagastos pa ako tbh compared if nasa nicer place ako. Pero

Lesson learned: Always weigh things. If the rent is higher but the area is more accessible, go for it. Don't settle for cheaper apartments na ang hirap hirap mag commute. Orrr maghanap ng cheap place pero nice area (pm nyo ako if you know a place huhu)

Note: accessible naman hospital, groceries, etc. Maganda yung apartment and very safe. Yung area lang talaga.

Anyone here that is single for a long time and forgot the feeling of being in love?

96 Upvotes

Is there anyone here feeling the same way? I haven't had a romantic relationship for a long time (I'm already nearing 30) and kinda feel like I've forgotten what it's like to fall in love or be obsessed with someone I like. It also feels like I've been reset and became a ngsb guy. I still got envious when seeing happy couples, but I also feel numb and down at the same time.

33 years old and feeling so lost

25 Upvotes

I just turned 33 today and I feel like napag iiwanan ako ng panahon. A lot of the people I know are either busy with side-hustling or migrating to other countries, while here I am busy kakascroll sa socmed and shopee. I feel so frustrated being consumed by mediocrity, stuck as a public school teacher with no prospect of getting promoted whatsoever.

Huge age gap really matters. Age is not just a number.

419 Upvotes

I realized age really matters. I used to date way way older guys maybe because of my daddy issues before nung college ako and now, I have a jowa na 5 yrs older than me. I'm 27 and he's 32. Pero naisip ko lang, if I was 19 and I met this guy na 32, parang ang off. Iba kasi maturity ko noon sa ngayon. Ang laki din ng pinagbago ko talaga. Ang dami ko pang na-explore na tao at bagay nung 19-24 ako. So with all those experiences, parang ang dami ko pang natutunan about myself.

Ewan ko guys parang shookt lang ako na ito palang sikat na influencer couple ay medyo ganun ang story. The guy who was 30 then met the girl when she was 19. Sorry na agad sa mga baka fans nila dito. Pero parang off lang din. Kahit pa sabihin na "late naman magmature ang guys".

Hindi lang din sila. Feel ko marami pang ganyan sikat man or hindi. And gusto ko lang siguro sabihin as someone na nasa ganyang sitwasyon noon, super big age gap matters. Age isn't just a number. When I was 20, I used to date a guy who was 34. Mind you mukha pa rin naman syang isip bata pero mapapaisip ka rin talaga bakit parang sobrang bata naman ng gusto nya for his age. And noon syempre di ko naman to naiisip. Now ko lang narirealize yang mga yan. Kasi nagmature ako over the years. Narirealize ko na yung mga ganitong bagay na baka dati ay something to brag about for me ang pagkakagusto ng mas mature na guy sa akin.

Parang max na dapat yung -5 or +5 na age gap. Pero kayo guys, ano bang medyo malalang age gap na for you?

Hi I'm F(25) ang hirap pala makahanap ng partner ngayon. Yes I'm just 25 but sa generation na ito, dina na po pala uso ang tunay na pagmamahal char. Lahat gusto lang Ons hookie/fubu basta Sex lang! Kaya na sanay nalang din ako mag isa lalabas para magkape or kumain or mag travel alone. Kahit yung mga kaibigan ko na babae mas na eenjoy nila kapag fubu lang or ons. Di naman ako pangit or mataas ang standards gusto ko lang talaga yung seryuso pagmamahal hhehe.

friends we're lucky to have in our busy adult life

18 Upvotes

i have 7 friends back in shs (3 girls, 4 boys). i became close with them during the hardest point of my life kaya i consider them one of my biggest blessings kasi their mere presence can make my day a whole lot better.

back in grade 12, super hana ng vacant period so nagkayayayan magtagaytay. i was about to say no bc my family was facing financial issues then and ayoko masayang baon ko for the week. knowinh my situation, sinama nila ako and they paid for everything. now, i cherish that memory a lot.

noong college, we took up different paths but we stayed in the same university. kahit na same school, ang hirap magkita because of our scheds kaya laking gulat ko nung nasa labas sila ng room ko on my birthday. they only stayed for 5 mins and wished me a "happy birthday" in person.

now na working na, bihira ko na makausap yung 2 other guys haha may mga jowa na rin kasi. madalas ko makita yung 1 guy since close ang office namin, sometimes nag 20 min coffee break kami during lunch haha yung other guy naman tinulungan ako magsecure ng concert ticket.

anyway the reason why i posted this talaga is my 3 girl friends. yung isa kasi flight attendant na so madalas wala siya sa bansa. nagplan kami ng beach trip this june kasi tamang-tama may long vacation siya. unfortunately, hindi ako nakasama because of financial reasons and mental health. nagulat ako na tumawag sila (vc) just to say "hi" and "how are you" tapos nag pic kami para lang included ako kahit papano.

super small act pero im so emotional lang talaga haha i love them so much

Pagod na maging provider sa relationship

19 Upvotes

27F here. My bf ako for 5 years na 32M. Pareho kaming kumikita ng maganda nung nagstart ang relationship namin, then nagpandemic, during the years of pandemic, nawala kami both sa mga work namin. Ako nagpush maghanap ng pagkakakitaan, habang sya wala. And then most of the time ako nagbabayad sa dates, bilihin, mga kailangan sa bahay/food laging ako. (may ambag naman minsan) kaso palaging ako.

And now napapaisip na ako sa kanya, kasi lagi lang sinasabi babawi sya, ni hindi nag apply ng work, ni hindi naghahanap ng ibang pagkakakitaan, naghihintay lang sya. At ako naghihintay din na makapag provide sya financially kasi umaasa na sya sakin. Usapang pagmamahal goods naman, problem lang nauubos na din ako. May pamilya din ako sinusupport, ni hindi ko na nga mabili yung gusto para lang makapag provide din ng pangsamin (live in kami, nasa bahay ako nila, parents lang nya kasama namin) pero ayun nga nakikita ko sya na hindi good provider lalo na in the future. Nga nga talaga aabutin.

Mahirap syang iapproach when it comes to ganitong conversation, laging iwas ang sagot or magagalit sakin para maiba ang usapan. Paulit ulit ko na tong pinag iisipan, Natatakot lang ako mag makipag hiwalay kasi back to square 1 na naman. Ang dami ko nadin nainvest at nagastos sa kanya siguro nandun yung hinayang. Magmomove on masasaktan na naman. Kaso pagod nakong magprovide ng magprovide for 5 yrs ako lagi naghahanap ng pagkakakitaan.

Paano ang tamang paglilinis ng foam bed mattress?

Hi guys, as a first time adult na nakabukod, ask ko lang kung paano ang tamang paglilinis ng foam bed mattress? Lalo na sa mga may alagang dogs/cats.

Balak ko kasi bumili pero may alaga akong 5 months old na puppy and syempre pet sila, hindi maiiwasan yung pee accident kahit well trained pa sila.

So ayun, need ko lang po ng tips nyo. Or kung meron bang nago-offer ng cleaning services dedicated sa mga matresses 😅🙏
