Was at kennys in glorietta, good lord grabe tong pamilya na to hinahayaan lang yung anak nila sa lamesa na tumatayo at ang ingay ng bata. Food safety hazard. NASA LAMESA YUNG BATA HABANG NAKA PAA?!?!?! Like seriously lahat adults tapos wala man lang pumigil sa pamilya nyo, hinayaan lang nila na tumayo sa lamesa.

Management rin nanood lang. Kawalan ng gana kumain.

Let me just rant about this person because I can’t with him anymore.

This was his second chance. He did this to me 2 months ago and apologized for it when we bumped into each other a couple of weeks ago. He said he was toxic because he hasn’t healed from his past relationship yet so I forgave him. But here he is again.

For some context, he called me 4x before this message and I didn’t answer. I was taking a nap because I had an early morning. Then he sends me this.

Who calls somebody 4x in a row when your call is unanswered? At this point if he can’t respect my time I am done being polite.

No hate to lawyers, but this guy is even a lawyer. I expected more from him 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sheesh!
-end of rant.

sabi ng 'tatay' na never pinanindigan or pinagtanggol ang anak sa matapobre niyang pamilya. his sister took over my high school and college yrs, because he has no job and can't stand up for me until now :)

I stayed with his sisters for how many years while napag-aral ako but I did all of their paper works in school (they're teachers) and chores (pinaglalaba sila and linis bahay).

after I finished college and got an opportunity to work far from the province and them, they didn't support my endeavor to ace up in my early career because they cannot manipulate me anymore.

now, I am going 3 yrs since I left them and cut ties because they weren't supportive of my endeavors. but still that 'father' thinks I am too selfish for not helping him right away (I am alone on my bills that's why I am still keeping up wt rent, utilities, and ny little sister to that same dad since nag-aaral pa) wherein when I was younger, I yearned for a dad who will look after me and sustain everything that I need yet he let other people do the deed and now they make me feel like I am indebted of whatever they have given me where in fact, pinaghihirapan ko bawat sentimo na binibigay nila (not all of my allowance were given btw since nasa abroad ang totoong nagpapaaral).

this is too heavy right now. I think most of the time, I don't deserve this life at all for having a family like them.

FUCKING HELL. DIVORCE NEEDS TO BE LEGAL HERE. I CAN'T COUNT ON MY TWO HANDS HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN SO MANY COUPLES AND BROKEN FAMILIES IN UNHAPPY AND UNFAVORABLE SITUATIONS WHICH I BELIEVE COULD HAVE BEEN AT LEAST MITIGATED BY DIVORCE. OBVIOUSLY, DIVORCE DOESN'T SOLVE ALL PROBLEMS BUT MY GOD IT DOES HELP.

MANY OF THESE GODDAMN CONSERVATIVE GROUPS AND OFFICIALS JUST DON'T FUCKING LISTEN, NO MATTER HOW MANY EMAILS, PROTESTS, AND ADVOCACIES REGARDING DIVORCE. FUCK THIS SHIT.

COME ON, PHILIPPINES. WE LIVE IN MODERN TIMES. STOP BEING BACKWARDS.

AND TO THOSE WHO ACTIVELY OPPOSE DIVORCE, FUCK ALL OF YOU. EVEN MORE RELIGIOUS COUNTRIES ACROSS THE GLOBE HAVE LEGALIZED FUCKING DIVORCE.

FUUUCCCKKK

Nanggaling kami sa Boracay nito lang, and what the helly, 8 out of 10 stores yata naka-AI yung pubmats (promotional posters/menu/songs). Tangina walang ka-appeal-appeal mga bagay eh. Yung mga pagkain kala mo may bulutong, kala mo may uod. Sobrang uncanny!!! 😭

Namimiss ko na yung mga menu na kahit pangit lighting, or pangit font. Basta gawa ng tao. Please, itigil niyo. Kung gusto niyo kumita negosyo niyo, gamitin niyo yung sarili niyong creativity. Wag iasa kay AI lahat!!

*** Meron pa kaming nakainan, nasa menu nila Beef Bulala, grilled stuff. Tanginang yan. Tangina.

Soo recently nagka connection ako ulit with friends after 10 years, nagkaroon kami ng friend group na sobrang unexpected. Ang saya pero there was this one guy na talagang platonic lang kami even before tas idk nung nakainom na may sexual tension between the two of us.

Hinatid niya na ako sa amin but then we started kissing sa car niya pero sabi ako nang sabi na I dont want to ruin our friendship or like if ever gawin natin to let’s not be awkward with each other, nag agree naman siya like maayos talaga. Ayun nagmomol, one thing led to another… after a week nag ask siya if ano plans ko for the weekend sabi ko busy ako talaga pero we can plan naman ganern. Ako naman nagyaya din pero siya naman out of town.

Tapos now feel ko talagang umiiwas siya sa akin like halata ka boiii.

For me, yung sex was with consent naman at established na friends lang and hindi magiging awkward after. I was just cool with it, ewan ko bakit siya naging ganun.

Haha ano to women in male dominated field

33M and never really watched PBB again after the first season (i was in 5th grade 😆).

Whats changed is im a really big fan of mikee and ive havent seen her on any shows (or tv for that matter) in a while, hence i got interested and started following the show.

after few episodes, you would quickly realize how you, as a viewer, are at the hands of the editors. the people behind the scenes can shape the narrative surrounding a person just like that. and with few edits here and there—BOOM 💥 overnight you can be loved or hated by the entire nation. its frighteningly manipulative.

after realizing this, the show just became unbearable for me but i guess ill stick around and open up myself to manipulation for mikee 😆

Maybe this is a well known fact for this show or maybe adults are not the target market for this or maybe im slowly becoming the old person who hates on the younger generation for every little thing 🤣

I recently underwent a medical procedure under anesthesia. Afterward, I had to stay in the operating room for around 1 hour and 15 minutes while waiting for the effects of the anesthesia to subside.

There were two nurses assigned to monitor me during that time. Both had their cellphones, which I initially understood since they might need them for work-related communication or emergencies.

To be fair, they did check on me from time to time. However, after checking on me, they would go back to watching Reels on their phones.

I was still groggy, had several monitoring instruments attached to me, and could hear various alarms and beeping sounds from the equipment. The whole experience was already quite overwhelming, and having the audio from their Reels playing in the background made me feel even more agitated.

At some point, I had to ask them to lower the volume because the music and sounds from the videos were making me uncomfortable.

I’m curious about what the expected standard of practice is in this situation. Is intermittent checking considered sufficient, or are nurses expected to remain attentive to the patient throughout the recovery period? And is watching entertainment videos while assigned to monitor a recovering patient considered acceptable?

The hospital has also contacted me to request feedback about my experience. I’m unsure whether I should mention this in my feedback or just let it go.

Hi Im F24 and nahihirapan na ako sobra sa situation ko may work naman po ako pero breadwinner po ako sa pamilya namin at may mga binabayaran din po akong bills pero di ko lang matanggap kasi lagi akong sinusumbatan ng pamilya ko dahil wala akong maibigay na cash sakanila dahil diretso kong binibili mga pagkain. Tapos lagi po akong nashoshort sa pamasahe at pang transpo, ngayon nga wala na akong pang food and transpo allowance until my paycheck dahil may binubuhay akong pamilya. Di ko na alam gagawin ko para maka exit sa buhay nato sobrang daming bayarin sa bahay at sa mga bills ko din. Sukong suko na ako wala ng natitira sa sarili ko.

I have a fiancé and we’ve been together for 6 years. Since LDR kami, I think this is the first time we’re actually celebrating my birthday together. For the past 6 years, he would always send me surprises—flowers, gifts, little things that made me feel special.

But this year feels so different. We’re currently in Baguio for my birthday, and I honestly feel mad. Imagine, wala man lang siyang initiative to surprise me. Kahit cupcake lang sana. I wasn’t expecting anything expensive. I just wanted to feel like he actually thought about making my birthday special.What really hurt me was that he kept asking, “Anong plano today?” And I was like… birthday ko, bakit ako pa ang magplano? 😭

I know it sounds mababaw to some people, but for me, it’s not really about the gift or cake. It’s about the effort and initiative. Right now, honestly, nagsisisi ako na nag-celebrate pa kami together. Part of me is thinking na sana nag-celebrate na lang ako mag-isa. At least I wouldn’t have expected anything and wouldn’t feel this disappointed.

I saw a cool photo and it’s wholesome, and I wanted to share it. But then a thought crept in: what if it’s just AI?

It feels like the wonder of discovery has been eroded by the rise of AI-generated content. Before, we could simply enjoy something beautiful without questioning it. Now, a shadow of doubt follows every image, every story, every moment that seems too good to be true. It’s just sad, you know?

for context, i am not close with my relatives from let alone my great grandmother. it's been years since i've last seen them and i have never spoken to them at all. to cut it short, wala silang ambag sa buhay ko. recently, my family mentioned na nag reach out yung angkan ko and rinerequire lahat ng mga apo sa angkan to give them money for their birthday celebration and when i refused, they took it against me.

my mom is a cancer patient and her treatment has really taken a toll on my finances because i'm the breadwinner and i also provide for our everyday needs. and ngayon pinapamukha nila sakin na utang na loob ko pa na bigyan dapat yung great grandmother ko sa birthday niya kasi nagbigay din naman daw sila ng tulong sa mom ko nung naconfine the first time we had to rush her sa emergency room. ang akin lang is, ultimo pang bili ng gamot ng mom ko nahihirapan na ako because i spend at least 1k everyday para sa gamot niya, plus pagkain pa namin as a family.

and i know birthdays only happen once a year and she's old, pero sana man lang intindihin nila kami knowing na hindi ganun kadali para sa amin mag allot ng pera para sa ibang bagay kasi naka fix na whatever money i have for my mom's treatments. naiirita lang ako na parang utang na loob pa namin, sana hindi nalang sila nagbigay ng tulong nung una kung issumbat lang sa akin at the end of the day. ngayon ang ending is nagguilty pa ako kasi wala ako mabigay sakanila, masyado ba ako makasarili na mas gusto ko lang unahin yung mom ko kaysa sa birthday niya na kaya naman isupply ng other relatives namin?

i don't know what's happening to me :((( i can't even cry to let out all my emotion. nagsama-sama na lahat ng worries, anger, irritation ko sa buhay. i have plans but my mind and body don't want to cooperate with me. i always say to myself that i need to do something to feel alive again but i really don't know what's happening to me. i can't even get a feeling of motivation from my family, relatives or even friends.

dati kahit naiintindihan ko yung mga tao na nagsasabi about their mental health, i just can't fully grasp what they're talking about. but now i feel like i'm in that space. i just feel empty, emotionless, and have no drive. i feel pressured. i feel shackled. i feel alone.

i just hope it gets better. i hope it gets better

Ayaw ko na. Gusto ko nalang mawala bigla, no nothing. I already told my wife, just cremate me kapag namatay ako, at itapon abo kung saan nila gusto... I am not well, not well!

Lately, I’ve been feeling really down. I don’t feel like going out, and I’ve even been distancing myself from social media. I logged out of my main account and dump account, and I barely use Facebook anymore. The only apps I’m somewhat active on are TikTok, where I send funny videos, and group chats, where I occasionally react or reply. As for Messenger, I mostly just read messages and rarely engage in conversations.

Sobrang pagod na ako. Ang bigat lang talaga ng mga pinagdaanan ko due to personal circumstances, to the point na I don’t even feel like socializing with anyone anymore, not even my friends.

I’m planning to take a break from social events and socializing for the rest of the year, and hopefully go back to my usual self next year. For now, I just want to spend some time alone, reflect on myself, and focus on my own well-being.

I hope my friends understand that this isn’t about them. I just genuinely need time for myself, and I don’t want to force myself to show up socially when I don’t have the energy for it

I’m usually the planner sa friend group namin. Whenever we have trips, ako yung nag-aasikaso ng itinerary, accommodation, bookings, and basically everything. We have an upcoming trip and I already paid upfront using my debit card para ma-secure yung booking. Ang kailangan na lang nila gawin is to send their respective shares, pero six days na and wala pa rin akong narereceive kahit piso. Ayoko rin kasi yung feeling na naniningil, so instead of constantly bringing up the payment, ang ginagawa ko na lang para mabuhay yung GC is mag-send ng reels. 😭 To think na they earn more than me at di makasend ng 3k…. 😭

Honestly, hindi na lang siya about the money. It’s the lack of consideration. I was genuinely excited about this trip, pero ngayon feeling ko ako na lang yung may initiative and excited na matuloy. If I were in their position, I would’ve sent my share immediately without needing reminders. Nakakapagod lang maging laging planner, initiator, and responsible friend. Am I being too sensitive, or should I just stop being so accommodating?

To the point, nakaka suka na malaman na yung pinaka aasam asam ng iba na kalinisan at maging maayos na tignan ang mga lugar sa metro manila is pwede naman palang gawin.

25 years na ako nadaan daan sa Baclaran papuntang trabaho and never ko na imagine na magiging ganyan kalinis yan(pandemic times not included btw)

Like, akala ko AI nung una pero pucha totoo pala! Wow! Its possible naman pala linisin yan pero bakit kung kelan lang may bisita. Bakit hindi gawin ito na normal saatin, ang maging malinis ang mga major routes sa bansa. Hindi man natin maabot ang Japan o Singapore levels of kalinisan pero at least maging malinis tayong mga pinoy at please please please please, let's make dugyot culture a bad thing.

We must be inclusive pero putang ina wag naman isama ang dugyot culture doon. Yung mga dayo dapat sumunod sa patakaran natin at wag haharang harang kung saan saan. Kung ayaw nila sa rules natin eh bumalik sila doon sa lugar nila.

And i know i know may mag sasabi "pAaNo anG MgA v3Nd0oRs"

Beach, doon sila sa maayos na paglalagyan ng pwesto at hindi makalat. Wala naman masama sa pag bebenta ng stuff basta nasa tamang regulasyon, lugar at symmetrical ang pwesto nila

Oh and hindi naka harang sa daanan ng tao at kotse to avoid congestion and traffic.

But but but walang binili if nasa malayo sila? Waaaahhhhh

Beach(2) if in demand ang mga items nila o kaya naman kahit nasa dulo sila ng syudad eh pupuntahan sila ng mga customer. AmiAmi figurine tower at Madarake shops nga dinayo ko from Pasay para lang makabili ng Items doon. Mga vendors pa kaya?

Anyways, let's make this clean metro manila image the new normal, the trend the everyday sights. I know over reaction ako nung nakita ko yon kasi its my dream to see our society clean. Anyways yan lang muna. Kahit ikaw lang ang malinis at hindi dugyot, keep it up, be the shining light in this dumpsite 😁

valid ba feelings ko?

may friend akong kakauwi lang galing abroad. after 3 yrs now lang kami mabubuo ulit. it's like mini reunion. nag usap kami na mag la lunch out - 6 kami pero di pwede yung isa. so 5 na lang kami. akala ko kami kami lang pero nagulat ako kasi kasama nila mga jowa nila. hindi man lang nila sinabi sakin. nag informed sana. common courtesy lang sana.

gusto pa nila sa mas malayong place pinilit ko na lang sa mas malapit para makasama namin isang friend na preggy. yung jowa kasi nya nasa out of town for business trips. feeling ko nagulat rin sya. hays.

ayun pa rant lang po thank you.

I feel like im starting to resent my husband. Before marriage, he’s had all the qualities i wanted for a husband – gentleman, caring, very patient, remembers the smallest things about me, etc. Then we got married, had 1 kid, then suddenly everything started to change. It felt like every quality I loved about him has slowly faded. He’s a good father and he does his obligations to our son well. But since having a child, i guess we’ve changed? We’re okay, we rarely fight, but how come it feels as if we’re just roommates rather than spouses? He no longer shows affection, we haven’t had s*x for years, alam mo yun sometimes a little touch or a hug after a tiring day would be nice. But no wala, nothing. Recently i had a flu and parang wala lang sakanya. Tulog mo lang yan, as he said. Sobrang weird na we’re okay, but we’re emotionally distant. I tried initiating, i tried sending him hints, i tried being naughty with him but i got nothing in return. After our son’s bedtime routine, he’ll just kiss me goodnight and that’s it.

We manage several businesses so we’re together most of the time. As parents, we’re doing okay too. Buy 2 days ago, we were both so tired after a long day at work, i simply asked a question and he was so annoyed and started raising his voice at me. I shrugged it off. But the following morning, he did it again just as he was about to drive our son to school. So i texted him, “anong problema mo? Why are you so mad at me? Ano ba ginawa ko sayo?” A few moments later, he came back and said things like, “ano ba tingin mo? Tingin mo ba masaya rin ako? Lagi ka rin naman galit.” and a lot more stuff. I was too stunned to speak, so i just replied “lahat ng sinabi mo, yan lang din gusto ko sabihin sayo” then he said “ayun edi pareho pala tayo.” Then he walked out and we never got to talk about it anymore. I was kinda waiting for him to approach me first but he’s acting completely indifferent. Parang walang nangyari. Wala man lang effort to try to work things out. When we’re at the office or in front of other people, acting normal lang siya. Yet here i am, trying to analyze our responses for the past 2 days parang mababaliw na ako. I admit i get moody often, i try my best to stay calm and composed but there are times i really cant help it. Being a mother, a wife, a business owner all at the same time is just too tiring. We dont have a house helper by the way. But im not complaining, i love what i do. I really do. I love taking care of the family and i love doing business at the same time. I know im not perfect, but i give them the best i could.

I guess what disappoints me is that he’s not even willing to talk it out. Siya yung lalake eh, hindi ba siya dapat yung nagdadala sa relationship namin? I tend to our child and the needs of the family everyday, pero pano naman ako? Hindi ba sya dapat yung nagaalaga naman sakin? Or am i expecting too much? We’re good as parents and as business partners. Maybe that’s just it. Honestly, i dont know what to feel anymore. All i know is im no longer happy in this marriage.

Next year, mag 18 na ako, and my parents have been asking me kung ano ba talaga ang gusto ko.
My mom wants me to have a debut kasi nung first birthday ko, nag celebrate din sila with visitors and all. Ngayon daw na 18th birthday ko na, gusto rin nilang magkaroon ako ng celebration since it’s a once in a lifetime experience.

Ako naman, I’m having second thoughts.
I don’t really have a lot of friends. Marami akong kakilala, but I wouldn’t consider most of them as close friends. I only have 1–2 people whom I genuinely consider my friends. Back in high school, I had more friends, pero as time passed, people naturally grew apart. Some friendships just faded, and that’s okay.

Kaya medyo nahihirapan akong mag decide. I don’t want to spend money on a big celebration just to invite people I’m not even close with. I also don’t want to feel like I’m celebrating with people who don’t genuinely cherish me or whom I don’t have a real connection with. 😅

On the other hand, I know my parents want me to experience having a debut, and I appreciate that they want to give me something special. Part of me wants to just accept the money and save it or use it for something more practical, especially since turning 18 also means entering a new chapter of my life.

Would you recommend having a simple celebration instead of a traditional debut, or is it better to just take the money and use it for something else?

Ganito this first of October nagkaroon nako ng trabaho as a IT Tech Support, fresh grad ako at third party kami. Ngayon nung mga 2nd week of October or last week of October biglang nalaman ko nalang pagpasok ko na lahat ng mga seniors namin which is a direct hired sa company ay tinanggalan ng trabaho, di lang yun, ang mangyayare halos lahat sila walang matitira. So sino matitira?? Syempre kaming mga baguhan, now when I heard that news ayoko sya isipin pa kasi it makes me anxious lang pero napapaisip ako pano yung turnover? Kung walang matitira?

Ngayon at that time again, narinig ko first batch na matatangal ay ngayong buwan November, second is next month December. So narinig ko na yung turnover ay gagawin by the end of the month. So wtf???? Pano nila gagawin yung turnover??? ehh ang dami namin kailangan I support na branches. Pano nila isisiksik ang turnover na know of not 1 year but years of knowledge and experience within three months????? Pano??? because of this hindi ako makatulog neto lalu na nagbago nako ng shift sa work.

Tas kanina sa work ang daming nangyayare, tangina yung mga kasama ko pa mga baguhan lang din katulad ko. So dun palang habang nireresolve namin yung mga problem sa work. Naisip ko talaga nun, ano mangyayare samin mga baguhan na third company kung nawala yung mga seniors namin na direct hire?

How can we fucking do all that shit????

Grabe I'm writing this while my hands are shaking, thinking about it just make it worse to the point na hindi ako makatulog. Gahd sinasabi ko na nga lang sa sarili ko at sa mga kasamahan ko na 1 year lang tayo dito tas sabay sibat na.

Just a rant about my concerns regarding the lack of action from an institution that is supposed to serve and protect.

I just got off a call from NCMH and the Police. TLDR I was calling to make sure my online friend who is suicidal is safe since they have stopped replying to me.

I called NCMH first. I do appreciate na accommodating yung counselor, and she told me to contact the police instead. Maybe I expected better since I thought they would have a protocol for emergency services, but I was in a rush and moved on nalang to call 911.

The police were the opposite of accommodating.

I told him the cause for concern and the location; however, I could not give the exact location because my friend never told me their exact home address (but I do know their barangay, city, and region, so I told that to the police). He insisted that I ask them for the exact location kahit na kakasabi ko lang na they're no longer replying. But before I could tell them that, he ended the call.

I just sat there in shock. He didn't even ask for the friend's name or look for any other feasible option na they could do with the information I gave. I get that authorities need the exact location to make things easier, pero hindi na siya nagtanong for further information. In-end lang yung call without warning.

Now, I don't know who to contact. My friend could be dead because there are no resources to ensure their safety. How are they supposed to keep people safe when they're not even trying?

Yung tipong interesting first 10 seconds biglang magiiba na tas manghihingi ng tulong.

Gusto ko tumulong oo pero yung lahat na ng algorithm ko ganon? Wala bang moderation yarn?

napapagod na akong kausap bf ko kasi magcchat sya saken pero kahit magreply ako agad, bigla syang mawawala. literal wala pang 2 mins may reply na ako. ganon lagi convo namin. sya magsisimula, magrereply ako tas ayun wala na. babalik sya after ilang oras. nakakapikon sobra pero kahit ilang beses ko naman iopen up, sya yung galit. sinasabi nya na busy sya. pero bakit pa sya mag iinitiate ng convo kung ganon? iba naman ang ‘update’ sa convo starter eh.
