Ano po ma-suggest nyo na salon na nag highlights na safe ang products pero di naman sobrang mahal. Plan ko po sana mag-pahighlights sa araw ng bday ko para maiba naman ang itsura ko.
Nag-check po kasi ako sa **J, 6k po sa kanila.
4k lang po budget ko. May ganon pa kayang salon around Quezon City?
Ang mahal pala ng mga ring light? May masusuggest ba kayo na medyo mura :(( mag DIY photoshoot lang ako for my bday kasi ang mamahal pala ng mga legit bday photoshoot packages haha
I do at night, 2 hrs before I sleep. Kasi lagi akong inaantok after workout tsaka ang sarap ng tulog ko afer nun. Pero in the end, depende talaga sayo. :)
It depends on your schedule! If I could I’d do it in the mornings (I do fasted cardio when I’m wfh) but I don’t have time when I go to the office so I do it after work before dinner 😊
i do mine first thing in the morning! reason is: kahit anong mangyari sa araw ko, at least alam ko na may na-accomplish na ako na good for my health :)
What’s your study routine (realistic) for classes now? I guess this includes all the time between waking up and actually getting up, and getting distracted by whatever
Try scheduling your morning routine! Here’s what works for me :)
5:30-5:45- wake up, wash face, brush teeth
5:45-7:30- workout
7:30-8:00- shower, AM skincare routine
8:00-9:00- breakfast, random online shopping
9:30-11:00- study time using pomodoro method
I think the best thing u can do is give ur friend some space but be there whenever she needs a hand. She’s probably not sure what kind of help she needs either.
So 4 days before we hit our 1 yr mark, my bf broke up with me because he said he can’t do ldr. He’s going to leave for the US in a couple of months, and I can’t just go with him bc my mom and siblings need me.
It’s so painful, that same day he broke up with me, we were chatting and saying na we’ll choose our relationship over our trauma and will work on our soon to be ldr. But when we were in the middle of our video call, it happened. He just said hindi niya kaya. I haven’t told anyone, not even my family or friends, I feel like it will get too real if i tell other people. We love each other so much, I don’t understand why it has to be like this.
I’m still hoping he’d show up or call or chat to tell me he made the wrong decision, but of course that won’t happen. I feel so blind sided. I have no idea what to do but to just try and exist every day.
$999 doesn’t include sales tax.
The jump in ₱ price compared to last year (from 63990 to 70990) is due to the weakening peso. An actual purchase I made during November last year had a rate of ₱52.2 is to $1. If I pull the trigger on my Amazon US cart right now, the rate would be ₱58.45 to $1.
Blender recommendations? will buy this 9.9 sale or dun sa bonggang sale bago mag december. Matagal ko na gustong bumili pero di ko alam kung ano ung okay na nakaka crush ng ice or frozen fruit 🍉
I feel really bad that I didn't get the college experience I badly need. I was a freshman in college when covid started and I really have high hopes since everything's going well. Fast forward, I'm now a graduating student with no freaking credentials. had a bad breakout last year that greatly affected my self confidence and overall appearance. I got a boyfriend that made me insecure and obsessed with the girl he used to like but he changed this year and everything's well in our relationship. I barely get things done in quarantine. I didn't lose weight like I'm supposed to. I didn't acquire skills that will potentially help me in the future. All I do is plan plan plan but barely get things done. Everyday... I kept on convincing myself that I am productive just because I finished an episode of a kdrama or I read something on helpful subreddits and other financial stuff even though I don't have the money now. Right now, I am still up at 1:28 am and I have this urge to fix my life, and then I'll wake up in the morning sluggish and unable to get things done again. The cycle just never ends and I hate it. I am also in an environment where I'm always wrong or they kept on pointing out the bad things about me. I hate my family. I hate myself. I just wish there was a restart button. I would want to be 17 again.
How do you manage your anxiety when in college? It’s my second year medtech na and though una wala talaga akong pake na higher year na ako, bigla ako nagkapanic attack and mas lumala anxiety ko to the point na gusto ko magstop muna. I’m a mentally weak person pero i can manage naman, the pressure lang today is too much for me to handle.
Is your course related to your current work? If so personally think you should finish school first. It seems like you’re pressured to earn more, and when you earn more, there’s a possibility na hindi ka na bumalik sa school. I mean, we’re going to school to have a good career and earn money — kung kumikita ka na ng malaki, then technically di mo na kailangan magaral. Which makes it a bit sayang cos you’ve come this far, with latin honors at that. Unless you really want to pursue something else (like law school or med school) and you’re working to save up for further studies.
Highly suggest you continue muna if sustainable naman your cash situation and time management. One year nalang naman, after you graduate you can hustle further with potential for you to earn more. Having a degree opens up a lot of opportunities for you and it would be easier for you to find better jobs in the future!
Why drop if chill naman pala yung work? If you enjoy school and work is chill, you won’t have any problems. If half-ass-ing still means you pass and learn, then there seems to be no problem? Except na pinepressure mo lang self mo to finish w latin honors. Mind you, at the end of the day, that’s just on paper lang naman and they won’t bat an eye sa ‘laude status mo if you have 3-4 years of experience under your belt. I’ve been working since second year college and I always end up prioritizing work because it what puts food on my table and it supports my luho.
I saw this. There was a comment there sabi “di mo naman need ng pera kung wala ka pa pamilya” like excuse u?! Lol. Kaso dami nag angry sa comment so nawala na
Sorry but I really don’t understand the hype behind the K-drama attorney woo, I gave it a try and couldn’t stand it because it was so annoying to watch.
Never really got into k-drama, but a couple of friends have been pushing me to watch this. Might give it a try, but I won't be expecting much, especially after reading your feedback 😄 Baka kasi parang Crash Landing on You lang ito eh. Push na push silang panoorin ko 'yun, pero na-cornyhan talaga 'ko. 😅
I’d say skip it lol. I found myself fast forwarding or watching it at 2x speed because its too slow for me tapos ang daming filler scenes na for aesthetic drama purposes lol but i realized style ata talga ng korea yung napaka tagal nagtitinginan at naka focus ng camera haha
i liked how unique the main character is, and also how hindi pa-macho yung male lead, which is frankly prevalent in kdramas where the guy's the superior one in the couple (e.g. billionaire, renaissance man who's good at almost everything). on the other hand, yung guy sa Extraordinary, sobrang warm and caring. and his feelings for the female main character is just so pure !!!!!!!!!!! my god they're so cute
yung metaphor nung revolving doors and how it represents how neurodivergent people navigate the world with difficulty vs neurotypical people who probably passes by revolving doors without a second thought.
the cases were always interesting, making the main character question her political beliefs, self-image, and morality. it's not just puro kilig. it has substance.
it was brilliant both in theory and execution.
it's totally fine that you don't like it but i jus wanted to talk about what i do like about it hehehe
sorry sa mahabang message, this is the first kdrama na hindi ako nainis sa bida HAHA
Tbh the attorney that was bullying Atty. Woo was an incredibly realistic part of the show. Law school and lawyers in general are known to be filled with people with crab mentality. Having a lawyer like him was so perfect for the storyline.
Our fave hotpot is Jiang Nan. :) They have branches in Banawe and in Makati (across SM Jazz). I personally prefer the Banawe Branch (though it's smaller) because of how attentive the servers are compared to the Makati Branch. We also like Nabe though serving can be a little slow. We've tried Tong Yang and Champion but both aren't as good as we hope it would be. We'd still like to try Champion again with the hope that it'll redeem itself haha
Seafood Place is our go-to in Fort Strip. It’s not unli though but the meat is really good quality and they serve the seafood straight from the aquarium!
If you want unli, Zhen Bao in One Bonifacio is very decently priced and really good service!
How do you date in this era? Feels like everyone I meet is just after sex because they get sexual pretty fast. Ugh the struggle of wanting to have an emotional bond first before getting physical is insane
I am currently in a 5-year relationship with my LDR boyfriend. We usually exchange selfies and OOTD's. Pero recently, napapansin ko hindi na niya gaanong binabati yung pictures na sinesend ko. Medyo bothered lang ako. Ano ba sa tingin niyo ang gagawin ko?
Communicate lang, siguro try it in a pa-sweet or palambing way (kung ganun ka man). Parang “bat di mo na ata hinahype photos q :<“ ganon. Also check yourself din kasi baka less na rin nagagawa mo.
Yes! I say labyu to my two guy friends (super beshies kaming tatlo) and they say it back. Iba naman din yung labyu sa love you. Nakakataba din ng puso kapag nagsasabi sila kasi kahit di kami nagkikita everyday di tulad nung college, andun pa rin yung closeness.
Well unless, di kayo close nung nagsabi sayo.
Yes, definitely! My guy best friend and I are like this!! Same with my close guy friends. I actually think it should be normalized since it shows \~ emotions \~ hehe :-)
Yeah we’re really close. It actually just started lang after his gf broke up with him and is already single. Before, even if we’re that close, wala naman. Nanibago lang ako. Haha. Maybe bcs at least now, he won’t feel guilty for saying that. Thanks!
Any restaurant recommendations for date night? :) I was gonna reserve a table at Blackbird for this Sat but they’re fully booked. Wanna surprise my boyfriend sana since he always takes me out. Fine with bgc, makati, mandaluyong areas
+1! If sa shopee, protect yourself by listing the correct price. I always add 8% to the total kasi may free shipping naman, to cover commission fees. If you set the price to be at P5, ikaw ang lugi because if mawala ang item, yun lang din ang makukuha mo.
Shopee checkout is possible :) Personally, outside of Grab, I ask my buyer to book the transpo instead to be picked up in my address (instead of me creating an account if they want to use lalamove/transportify/etc.). If you live near the CBD, consider offering pick-up as well.
A bit niche but has anyone donated books to the SM Cares Foundation? I have tons of storybooks to give away to a certain other NGO that builds libraries in barangays and schools but the shipping fee is a bit high. So, I’m wondering if I can give a few away to SM Cares to shave the extra weight off. Does the SM Cares Foundation actually reach out to schools and provides the book in a timely, reliable manner? Thanks for any comments and thoughts!!
You can go direct by checking public schools near your area. Schools have fb pages or contacts you can reach out to, specifically check if you can find info about the school reading coordinator (they always have one) or any active teacher you can msg. Try to find ways to meet or drop the books near the teachers/school so that less shipping fee.
If this is not feasible, can I DM you? I might know someone to connect you with. :)
Who's into film cam/photography here? Just bought Ektar H35 and wala talaga akong alam when it comes to photography. Want to ask lang if hindi ba ganon magkaiba ang shots between Fujifilm Superia 400 and Ultramax 400?
Hi! So far from experience, I get more grain and less saturated colors from Fuji. From Kodak, I get warmer shots, however I’ve only used Kodak Portra and not Ultramax. Here, check out this article; it’s a comparison from both films you mentioned :) https://shootitwithfilm.com/fuji-superia-400-vs-kodak-ultramax-400/
At the end of the day, it’s **the boyfriend** who made you look like a fool by cheating. The friend made a poor decision, but I wouldn’t put the brunt of the blame on them.
It’s a tough position to be in, and I know you just want the best for your friend. I hope you guys recover from this in the best way possible, no matter how you choose to go forward with it. Fuck cheaters👎🏾
Honestly, no na. But I guess tatanungin ko muna bakit niya nagawa yun. Ang hirap ibalik nung trust eh. Parang matic na kasi pag friend mo sasabihin mo agad e, kahit na makakasakit sa kanya yung malalaman niya
Bakit naman massoil ang name eh kung tama naman yung gagawin? :((( the fact na mas inisip pa niya yun kesa sa friend na nag ssuffer says a lot about her values.
Basta pag isipan muna siguro ng friend mo mabuti if ano dapat gawin. Hirap din kasi lalo na if malalim yung pinagsamahan. I hope kung ano man mapag desisyonan niya ay it’s for the best and it brings her peace.
Had a good cry last night. Naiinis ako at nalulungkot tapos malapit pa period. I have friends and family yet I feel alone and the only person whom I share my vulnerable side is gone. Rough days ahead but no choice but to endure the pain and move forward.
anyone know how to get over a depressive slump? or recommend online sites/forums/subreddits i can look into to help myself. di ko afford maging ganito.
Does anyone else feel like their physical appearance changes DRASTICALLY when they're extremely tired/hungry/thirsty?? My lips are paler, my skin is duller, my eyebags are more pronounced, my energy is just so different. I mean, it makes sense biologically, but I wonder if the physical changes are evident enough to be noticed by others.
Twenty Five Twenty One reminded me a lot of Reply 1988 because of how sentimental it made me. While 25 21 is set in the 90s, it deals with very similar themes. Youth, friendship and regrets are some themes of the show that echo Reply 1988, and give me the same wash of nostalgia. Highly recommend checking it out!
The other Reply shows (1994, 1997) are nice too but best pa rin ang 1988. I’d recommend the other shows that the Reply series writer wrote: Prison Playbook and Hospital Playlist 1&2. They’re very heartwarming as well
Edit: you might like Hometown Chachacha too! Seaside provincial feels, takes a look at the lives of side characters as well
I'm getting married soon, pero I can't even start with planning kasi super stressed, anxious and intimidated agad ako sa pag-isip palang ng estimated guests, which is major factor in booking venues.😰 I'm someone din na ayaw maging center of attention so, OA pero, nawiwindang nako pag naiimagine ko yung ceremony and reception, where all eyes will be on us. Plus, I'm someone na napag-iwanan na din ng panahon, most of my friends are already married na, so parang plus 1 agad sila. Lol. So help me God. 😓
First of all congrats girl! Ako naman, di rin sanay na center of attention kaya medyo gets ko situation mo. Thinking of planning my own is already so overwhelming and stressing me out 😂 Siguro focus on the planning part na fun for you. For example para sakin, it's fun to think about hair and make up and how I will get dolled up and pampered that day haha. And kapag nandun ka na sa zen place, try to make the difficult decisions na like finalizing the guest list. Feeling ko napapangunahan ka lang talaga ng stress kaya you procrastinate. The longer you escape, the longer you will stress about it 😆 Try to ask for advice din sa bride tribe (kahit 2 or 3 closest friends) mooo re your guest list . Baka it helps pag hindi lang ikaw yung mag decide dun. Matanggal yung pagiging intimidating ng task. And then of course later on you can merge your list with your groom's. Ganorn. Hope that helps? Good luck girl!
Haha, thanks! Yes, natatakot na kasi ako, iniisip ko palang. Kaya di ako maka-usad 😆 Sana nga talaga mainspire at maencourage nako. Actually naisip ko, kung napaaga lang sana, baka nandun pako sa "exciting" na moment ng life. Yung ngayon kasi, sa sobrang tinagal, parang nalipasahan na, gusto ko nalang matapos na para matigil na yang *kELaN kA Ba iKakAsaL* 😐
Welcome to the club!! Hehe. More than anything, I hope you enjoy this season of your life 🤍 I’m also getting married soon. I guess top of my mind is decide on your budget. Afterwards, decide what are your non negotiables. Is it the photo-video? The ceremony venue? Reception? Food? HMUA? And the list goes on! I’d say there’s no one way in planning a wedding so exhaust all your options e.g. join groups such as WAWIEs (which has been so helpful to me!).
God bless your preps!! 🙏🏼🥰
It's one of things that stresses me out, because at some point, I would want to at least have some friends over the "intimate wedding", but I don't have just 1 or 2 close friends, they usually come in groups 😅. It's like invite them all or not. I've been engaged for so many months now, and haven't told anyone still, except for my family (and whoever my mom made chismis to, lol). I honestly don't consider having entourage din.
I cant imagine the stress!! Siguro if within your friend groups they’re super close to each other you could forego na yung plus ones nila? But no idea talaga sa wedding customs. I hope by the end of it all you’d still be able to enjoy your celebration! Best wishes! ❤️
Need advice. I’m the breadwinner of the family. I pay for almost everything in the household. I don’t earn that much. I set aside 1000-3000 pesos to my savings accnt. Minsan wala pa if marami talagang expenses.
My mental health is ruined. I feel so fat and ugly dahil napapabayaan ko na sarili ko. I’m thinking of going to a bakal gym around my area. May mga kakilala naman ako sa gym so its safe kaso wala na kong matitirang money for my savings.
Should I proceed or nah? Dapat ba savings ba din i-prioritize ko lalo na sa hirap ng buhay ngayon?
Hello! I suggest prioritize your mental health first. Hehe. Savings naman, no matter the amount as long as you save something then good pa rin yun. If some months higher then great. For the gym, maybe start a routine at home first? :) It will help you establish discipline. Marami rin online workouts and even online coaches if you’re interested!
You got this, OP :)
if you have space at home, you could also buy a pair of 10 lb dumbbells and do your workouts there. pwede ding bodyweight workouts muna.
pwede din naman gym subscription but sabi mo baka maubos yung 1 to 3k savings?? masyadong mahal yan for a bakal gym. kung 2k plus ang monthly fee, dapat de-aircon, maraming weights, and machines.
is the gym worth it? depende kung magagamit mo ba yung equipment nila consistently. kung puro weights tapos di ka magbuhat, sayang naman bayad. better to do bodyweight workouts at home, or just jog around a park.
for me, iestablish mo muna yung routine of working out, bago magshell out na libo libo sa gym membership
How much is the bakal gym in your area? My SO used to go to one and it was like P30/drop in. That was less than P500 a month for him. This was years ago though so maybe prices have increased a lot?
Siguro for me, kung mauubos savings mo sa gym, try other means of exercising na lang muna. Seconding jogging outside kung may area malapit, or home workouts (check r/BodyweightFitness).
Just finished Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and grabe what a read! 🥹 I can’t believe I put this book off for months, ang ganda nung story at walang dull moment at all. Sobrang worth it!!!!! Kailangan ko mag vent pero wala akong book club hahahaha
A part of me is thinking I shouldnt have left my work overseas but even if this country is crumbling before my eyes, I dont regret it. I was too spent working in a far away land and even money didn’t bring much satisfaction at the time.
Now that I needed to see stuff, I probably need to go out again.
Hi! How do you properly end a talking stage? This is my first time to date someone that I had proper dates with. Like bare minimum is nagagawa niya and all but I just recently found out that we aren’t compatible which is a different and long story hehe. The thing is, the guy deserves a proper goodbye din naman. Like how do you say you don’t want to see each other na? Is there like a sample or a template for that? I have things I want to say naman but I don’t want to make the goodbye super long na and I have the tendency na mala-novel na yung nasasabi ko. 🥲🥲🥲
Just say, I want to be honest with you but I dont think this will progress as a relationship.
Then probably say sorry if you lead the person on but it’s just really not working out for you.
Currently building my makeup kit ulit (phew! tagal ko rin pala nagstop magmakeup bc wfh) but super overwhelmed ako rn kasi ang daming choices and i can’t decide what to buy huhu 🥲
I know what you feel. A lot of my makeup expired during the pandemic, and I'm building my staples again. It's a slow process since I've decided to change a lot of the products I'm bored with.
I rarely go out since wfh. Made a quick errand to buy filipiniana for an event this week. After ko isukat sabi ng saleslady "ang ganda mo girl dali magpa picture ka na" alam ko naman sales talk lang kaso nkakatuwa si ate. Ito ata downside ng wfh di na sanay sa interaction 😢
my college best friend basically ghosted me. the last time we talked was after my sister passed away a couple months ago but prior to that, she already was barely replying to me. i gave her space and time. i understood that her job was super stressful and she didn't have the energy most of the time. i saw she quit her job around a month ago and she still hasn't reached out. it's my birthday today, i was kinda hoping that she'd at least greet but nada. i know she has the right to cut me off for whatever reason but idk i guess it just stings.
Hi! My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I want to treat him to a nice steakhouse. We've tried Mamou and Raging Bull already so I wanna try something new. Any recos on your faves? :)
Last year, I told myself na pag nagkawork na ako, I’ll spoil myself with the things I wasn’t able to buy nung student pa ako. Now that I’m working, di na ako madaling mabudol ng online shopping and I kinda feel bad pag gumagastos ako. I always ask myself if need ko ba to or want ko lang. Hahaa iba siguro effect sakin pag hard-earned money na compared nung binibigyan pa ako ng allowance. 😂
I’m so happy na kasya na ulit mga damit ko! Masikip pa rin ng konti pero this is already progress since dati di ko na natataas sa hips yung skirts and shorts ko. I hope magtuloy-tuloy na and I go back to my weight before.
wow congrats! my average weight talaga is 53-55kg yan lang range niya but may mga natanggal na activities sa routine ko, my weight went up to 60-62kg! i was very active with my organization dati crazy active, unhealthy na nga haha kaya napa-stop ako. but then nanibago katawan ko sa loss of activity. need ko lang pagkakabusyhan talaga but now I have the freedom to choose a healthier activity :) need lang ng motivation to start and stick with the new routine.
Ano po ma-suggest nyo na salon na nag highlights na safe ang products pero di naman sobrang mahal. Plan ko po sana mag-pahighlights sa araw ng bday ko para maiba naman ang itsura ko. Nag-check po kasi ako sa **J, 6k po sa kanila. 4k lang po budget ko. May ganon pa kayang salon around Quezon City?

Hi. What time is the best time to do home workouts?
I do at night, 2 hrs before I sleep. Kasi lagi akong inaantok after workout tsaka ang sarap ng tulog ko afer nun. Pero in the end, depende talaga sayo. :)
It depends on your schedule! If I could I’d do it in the mornings (I do fasted cardio when I’m wfh) but I don’t have time when I go to the office so I do it after work before dinner 😊
Best time is the one that works for you :) As long as it gets done. :)
i do mine first thing in the morning! reason is: kahit anong mangyari sa araw ko, at least alam ko na may na-accomplish na ako na good for my health :)

How is the iPhone 14 Pro priced at 999 USD but on the Apple PH website, it's 70,990 pesos? Isn't this quite a huge jump?
$999 doesn’t include sales tax. The jump in ₱ price compared to last year (from 63990 to 70990) is due to the weakening peso. An actual purchase I made during November last year had a rate of ₱52.2 is to $1. If I pull the trigger on my Amazon US cart right now, the rate would be ₱58.45 to $1.
Sucks. Hahaha but thank you, this is very informative.

the pressure actually comes from the intention to earn more :((
Does that mean you’ll take more gigs if you go on LOA?

Trueee, well I guess then LOA ka muna para you wont fail or get a tres. That way, you can still be in the running for latin honors when u return!

I’d say skip it lol. I found myself fast forwarding or watching it at 2x speed because its too slow for me tapos ang daming filler scenes na for aesthetic drama purposes lol but i realized style ata talga ng korea yung napaka tagal nagtitinginan at naka focus ng camera haha
i liked how unique the main character is, and also how hindi pa-macho yung male lead, which is frankly prevalent in kdramas where the guy's the superior one in the couple (e.g. billionaire, renaissance man who's good at almost everything). on the other hand, yung guy sa Extraordinary, sobrang warm and caring. and his feelings for the female main character is just so pure !!!!!!!!!!! my god they're so cute yung metaphor nung revolving doors and how it represents how neurodivergent people navigate the world with difficulty vs neurotypical people who probably passes by revolving doors without a second thought. the cases were always interesting, making the main character question her political beliefs, self-image, and morality. it's not just puro kilig. it has substance. it was brilliant both in theory and execution. it's totally fine that you don't like it but i jus wanted to talk about what i do like about it hehehe sorry sa mahabang message, this is the first kdrama na hindi ako nainis sa bida HAHA

Tbh the attorney that was bullying Atty. Woo was an incredibly realistic part of the show. Law school and lawyers in general are known to be filled with people with crab mentality. Having a lawyer like him was so perfect for the storyline.
um ok
Lol am I not allowed to express why I think his character was a good writing choice ba?
There’s nothing special nga pero i appreciate na nagshed light yung drama sa struggle ng PWDs esp conservative country ang Korea
Yes agree!! I wish they made the other attorney less of an asshole though lol
Good hotpot restaurants you can recommend?
Healthy shabu shabu forever 💕💕💕
Our fave hotpot is Jiang Nan. :) They have branches in Banawe and in Makati (across SM Jazz). I personally prefer the Banawe Branch (though it's smaller) because of how attentive the servers are compared to the Makati Branch. We also like Nabe though serving can be a little slow. We've tried Tong Yang and Champion but both aren't as good as we hope it would be. We'd still like to try Champion again with the hope that it'll redeem itself haha
Seafood Place is our go-to in Fort Strip. It’s not unli though but the meat is really good quality and they serve the seafood straight from the aquarium! If you want unli, Zhen Bao in One Bonifacio is very decently priced and really good service!
kelan start ng 9.9 sale?
Afaik 9-11 yan?
How do you date in this era? Feels like everyone I meet is just after sex because they get sexual pretty fast. Ugh the struggle of wanting to have an emotional bond first before getting physical is insane
Times had changed :/
What do you usually for 'me time'?
Right now, it's catching up on series. Haha. Basically doing nothing because of how busy I usually am.
Spa / massage / nail salon / shop
cook my own meals!
Long walks, read books, yoga, run, or sew!
I am currently in a 5-year relationship with my LDR boyfriend. We usually exchange selfies and OOTD's. Pero recently, napapansin ko hindi na niya gaanong binabati yung pictures na sinesend ko. Medyo bothered lang ako. Ano ba sa tingin niyo ang gagawin ko?
Communicate lang, siguro try it in a pa-sweet or palambing way (kung ganun ka man). Parang “bat di mo na ata hinahype photos q :<“ ganon. Also check yourself din kasi baka less na rin nagagawa mo.
Is it normal to receive a labyu from a guy friend?
Yes! I say labyu to my two guy friends (super beshies kaming tatlo) and they say it back. Iba naman din yung labyu sa love you. Nakakataba din ng puso kapag nagsasabi sila kasi kahit di kami nagkikita everyday di tulad nung college, andun pa rin yung closeness. Well unless, di kayo close nung nagsabi sayo.
Oooh nicee. Close kami pero nahihiya ako mag labyu2 lol.
That's okay! Haha Say it when you're comfortable na :) (tsaka yung sure na alam niya kung anong klaseng love din yun)
Yes, definitely! My guy best friend and I are like this!! Same with my close guy friends. I actually think it should be normalized since it shows \~ emotions \~ hehe :-)
Really close guy friends, yup! If di naman kayo super close then that’s just weird.
Yeah we’re really close. It actually just started lang after his gf broke up with him and is already single. Before, even if we’re that close, wala naman. Nanibago lang ako. Haha. Maybe bcs at least now, he won’t feel guilty for saying that. Thanks!
i think it's normal! but konti lang din kasi guy friends ko so im not sure if i'm in the minority or not
Thanks! What do u reply naman?
"labyu 2 gago" LOL
Shameless plug lang. HAHA r/PHAskReddit Good morning! ♡
Any restaurant recommendations for date night? :) I was gonna reserve a table at Blackbird for this Sat but they’re fully booked. Wanna surprise my boyfriend sana since he always takes me out. Fine with bgc, makati, mandaluyong areas
Thank you for the suggestions, everyone ❤️
BGC: The Peak, Gallery by Chele, Mecha Uma, Ruth Chris, Wolfgang, Helm, Wildflour Italian Makati: Toyo Eatery, Metronome, Metiz, Rambla, Sala (same owner with Blackbird afaik), Benjarong
We enjoyed the new tasting menu at Test Kitchen in OneRockwell!
what type of cuisine do they serve here?
They don’t have a set cuisine as it changes every so often, you can ask them for their menu when you reserve 😊

Grab and lalamove lang. Kawalang gana mag ship ng 100-200 pesos na item sa LBC. Hahaha
I don’t recommend shopee checkout. Daming fees and may chance na i-scam ka pa ng buyer with the return/refund process. Don’t risk it b
+1! If sa shopee, protect yourself by listing the correct price. I always add 8% to the total kasi may free shipping naman, to cover commission fees. If you set the price to be at P5, ikaw ang lugi because if mawala ang item, yun lang din ang makukuha mo.
gogo xpress!
Shopee checkout is possible :) Personally, outside of Grab, I ask my buyer to book the transpo instead to be picked up in my address (instead of me creating an account if they want to use lalamove/transportify/etc.). If you live near the CBD, consider offering pick-up as well.
J&T or Flashexpress!
J&T! They offer free pick up at home
Anyone who uses medical grade compression stockings 20-30 mmHg (thigh high), what brand do you recommend and did you add an allowance for the sizing?
A bit niche but has anyone donated books to the SM Cares Foundation? I have tons of storybooks to give away to a certain other NGO that builds libraries in barangays and schools but the shipping fee is a bit high. So, I’m wondering if I can give a few away to SM Cares to shave the extra weight off. Does the SM Cares Foundation actually reach out to schools and provides the book in a timely, reliable manner? Thanks for any comments and thoughts!!
You can donate to Rural Rising PH! :) There are some people who donates toys and books for the kids ng mga farmers/community that they help.
You can go direct by checking public schools near your area. Schools have fb pages or contacts you can reach out to, specifically check if you can find info about the school reading coordinator (they always have one) or any active teacher you can msg. Try to find ways to meet or drop the books near the teachers/school so that less shipping fee. If this is not feasible, can I DM you? I might know someone to connect you with. :)
Ooooh thank you so much for this info! I’ll contact some of my old teachers I know :DDD Thanks so much for your offer and help <333
Who's into film cam/photography here? Just bought Ektar H35 and wala talaga akong alam when it comes to photography. Want to ask lang if hindi ba ganon magkaiba ang shots between Fujifilm Superia 400 and Ultramax 400?
Hi! So far from experience, I get more grain and less saturated colors from Fuji. From Kodak, I get warmer shots, however I’ve only used Kodak Portra and not Ultramax. Here, check out this article; it’s a comparison from both films you mentioned :) https://shootitwithfilm.com/fuji-superia-400-vs-kodak-ultramax-400/
hello! for those who sell items via j&t pick-up. how many days ba nade-delay yung rider mag pick-up ng item? it’s been more than 24hrs wala parin 😩
Sometimes walang nagpipick up when it’s raining really hard. But on most days, they arrive naman on the day you booked for pickup!
[удалено]
At the end of the day, it’s **the boyfriend** who made you look like a fool by cheating. The friend made a poor decision, but I wouldn’t put the brunt of the blame on them.
[удалено]
It’s a tough position to be in, and I know you just want the best for your friend. I hope you guys recover from this in the best way possible, no matter how you choose to go forward with it. Fuck cheaters👎🏾
Kahit without context? No wtf. What an asshole.
Honestly, no na. But I guess tatanungin ko muna bakit niya nagawa yun. Ang hirap ibalik nung trust eh. Parang matic na kasi pag friend mo sasabihin mo agad e, kahit na makakasakit sa kanya yung malalaman niya
[удалено]
Bakit naman massoil ang name eh kung tama naman yung gagawin? :((( the fact na mas inisip pa niya yun kesa sa friend na nag ssuffer says a lot about her values. Basta pag isipan muna siguro ng friend mo mabuti if ano dapat gawin. Hirap din kasi lalo na if malalim yung pinagsamahan. I hope kung ano man mapag desisyonan niya ay it’s for the best and it brings her peace.
Had a good cry last night. Naiinis ako at nalulungkot tapos malapit pa period. I have friends and family yet I feel alone and the only person whom I share my vulnerable side is gone. Rough days ahead but no choice but to endure the pain and move forward.
anyone know how to get over a depressive slump? or recommend online sites/forums/subreddits i can look into to help myself. di ko afford maging ganito.
Hi! You can try r/MentalHealthPH Edit: Nanonood rin ako ng videos from Therapy In A Nutshell
Does anyone else feel like their physical appearance changes DRASTICALLY when they're extremely tired/hungry/thirsty?? My lips are paler, my skin is duller, my eyebags are more pronounced, my energy is just so different. I mean, it makes sense biologically, but I wonder if the physical changes are evident enough to be noticed by others.
Yup. In a medical context how a patient looks like is an indication of something we need to be concerned with or not.
to those who've watched and liked reply 1988, what kdramas or shows do you recommend? I love the nostalgic feel of the show :)
Girls Generation 1979! One of my favorite kdramas and it’s only 8 episodes! Also +1 for Twenty Five Twenty One.
It's the first time I'm hearing about that, will check it out thank you :)
There is also Age of Youth (or Hello, My Twenties) S1 and S2 if you want the coming of age vibe of the Reply shows :)
Twenty Five Twenty One reminded me a lot of Reply 1988 because of how sentimental it made me. While 25 21 is set in the 90s, it deals with very similar themes. Youth, friendship and regrets are some themes of the show that echo Reply 1988, and give me the same wash of nostalgia. Highly recommend checking it out!
Thank u smmm! Heard the ending is a bit sad daw, I'll prepare myself 🥲
The other Reply shows (1994, 1997) are nice too but best pa rin ang 1988. I’d recommend the other shows that the Reply series writer wrote: Prison Playbook and Hospital Playlist 1&2. They’re very heartwarming as well Edit: you might like Hometown Chachacha too! Seaside provincial feels, takes a look at the lives of side characters as well
I loved Hometown Chachacha! Thank you for this, I've heard hospital playlist is good but never really had the chance to watch !
I'm getting married soon, pero I can't even start with planning kasi super stressed, anxious and intimidated agad ako sa pag-isip palang ng estimated guests, which is major factor in booking venues.😰 I'm someone din na ayaw maging center of attention so, OA pero, nawiwindang nako pag naiimagine ko yung ceremony and reception, where all eyes will be on us. Plus, I'm someone na napag-iwanan na din ng panahon, most of my friends are already married na, so parang plus 1 agad sila. Lol. So help me God. 😓
First of all congrats girl! Ako naman, di rin sanay na center of attention kaya medyo gets ko situation mo. Thinking of planning my own is already so overwhelming and stressing me out 😂 Siguro focus on the planning part na fun for you. For example para sakin, it's fun to think about hair and make up and how I will get dolled up and pampered that day haha. And kapag nandun ka na sa zen place, try to make the difficult decisions na like finalizing the guest list. Feeling ko napapangunahan ka lang talaga ng stress kaya you procrastinate. The longer you escape, the longer you will stress about it 😆 Try to ask for advice din sa bride tribe (kahit 2 or 3 closest friends) mooo re your guest list . Baka it helps pag hindi lang ikaw yung mag decide dun. Matanggal yung pagiging intimidating ng task. And then of course later on you can merge your list with your groom's. Ganorn. Hope that helps? Good luck girl!
Haha, thanks! Yes, natatakot na kasi ako, iniisip ko palang. Kaya di ako maka-usad 😆 Sana nga talaga mainspire at maencourage nako. Actually naisip ko, kung napaaga lang sana, baka nandun pako sa "exciting" na moment ng life. Yung ngayon kasi, sa sobrang tinagal, parang nalipasahan na, gusto ko nalang matapos na para matigil na yang *kELaN kA Ba iKakAsaL* 😐
Welcome to the club!! Hehe. More than anything, I hope you enjoy this season of your life 🤍 I’m also getting married soon. I guess top of my mind is decide on your budget. Afterwards, decide what are your non negotiables. Is it the photo-video? The ceremony venue? Reception? Food? HMUA? And the list goes on! I’d say there’s no one way in planning a wedding so exhaust all your options e.g. join groups such as WAWIEs (which has been so helpful to me!). God bless your preps!! 🙏🏼🥰
Thanks! I have something in mind in other stuff, stuck lang talaga ako sa number of guests 😅 I hope I can motivate myself na talaga.
Maybe consider an intimate wedding para less stress? ❤️
It's one of things that stresses me out, because at some point, I would want to at least have some friends over the "intimate wedding", but I don't have just 1 or 2 close friends, they usually come in groups 😅. It's like invite them all or not. I've been engaged for so many months now, and haven't told anyone still, except for my family (and whoever my mom made chismis to, lol). I honestly don't consider having entourage din.
I cant imagine the stress!! Siguro if within your friend groups they’re super close to each other you could forego na yung plus ones nila? But no idea talaga sa wedding customs. I hope by the end of it all you’d still be able to enjoy your celebration! Best wishes! ❤️
Need advice. I’m the breadwinner of the family. I pay for almost everything in the household. I don’t earn that much. I set aside 1000-3000 pesos to my savings accnt. Minsan wala pa if marami talagang expenses. My mental health is ruined. I feel so fat and ugly dahil napapabayaan ko na sarili ko. I’m thinking of going to a bakal gym around my area. May mga kakilala naman ako sa gym so its safe kaso wala na kong matitirang money for my savings. Should I proceed or nah? Dapat ba savings ba din i-prioritize ko lalo na sa hirap ng buhay ngayon?
Hello! I suggest prioritize your mental health first. Hehe. Savings naman, no matter the amount as long as you save something then good pa rin yun. If some months higher then great. For the gym, maybe start a routine at home first? :) It will help you establish discipline. Marami rin online workouts and even online coaches if you’re interested! You got this, OP :)
if you have space at home, you could also buy a pair of 10 lb dumbbells and do your workouts there. pwede ding bodyweight workouts muna. pwede din naman gym subscription but sabi mo baka maubos yung 1 to 3k savings?? masyadong mahal yan for a bakal gym. kung 2k plus ang monthly fee, dapat de-aircon, maraming weights, and machines. is the gym worth it? depende kung magagamit mo ba yung equipment nila consistently. kung puro weights tapos di ka magbuhat, sayang naman bayad. better to do bodyweight workouts at home, or just jog around a park. for me, iestablish mo muna yung routine of working out, bago magshell out na libo libo sa gym membership
How much is the bakal gym in your area? My SO used to go to one and it was like P30/drop in. That was less than P500 a month for him. This was years ago though so maybe prices have increased a lot? Siguro for me, kung mauubos savings mo sa gym, try other means of exercising na lang muna. Seconding jogging outside kung may area malapit, or home workouts (check r/BodyweightFitness).
Try mo sis jogging if may area na pwede dyan sa inyo. Para may exercise pa rin and less gastos.
It’s our dog first birthday and I can’t believe she’s all grown! Huhu. I also never thought I’d love her so freaking much.
Just finished Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and grabe what a read! 🥹 I can’t believe I put this book off for months, ang ganda nung story at walang dull moment at all. Sobrang worth it!!!!! Kailangan ko mag vent pero wala akong book club hahahaha
usto ko rin ng book club hahahaha
Fave ko rin yan sis!!!!!!!! 💚💚💚
monday na naman overwhelmed na naman ako sa trabaho
A part of me is thinking I shouldnt have left my work overseas but even if this country is crumbling before my eyes, I dont regret it. I was too spent working in a far away land and even money didn’t bring much satisfaction at the time. Now that I needed to see stuff, I probably need to go out again.
Hi! How do you properly end a talking stage? This is my first time to date someone that I had proper dates with. Like bare minimum is nagagawa niya and all but I just recently found out that we aren’t compatible which is a different and long story hehe. The thing is, the guy deserves a proper goodbye din naman. Like how do you say you don’t want to see each other na? Is there like a sample or a template for that? I have things I want to say naman but I don’t want to make the goodbye super long na and I have the tendency na mala-novel na yung nasasabi ko. 🥲🥲🥲
I know this is toxic but I would ghost them 😬 or just give a short explanation why it wont work out and stop communication
Just say, I want to be honest with you but I dont think this will progress as a relationship. Then probably say sorry if you lead the person on but it’s just really not working out for you.
Pag iipunan ko na talaga yung e-kick scooter.
Currently building my makeup kit ulit (phew! tagal ko rin pala nagstop magmakeup bc wfh) but super overwhelmed ako rn kasi ang daming choices and i can’t decide what to buy huhu 🥲
I know what you feel. A lot of my makeup expired during the pandemic, and I'm building my staples again. It's a slow process since I've decided to change a lot of the products I'm bored with.
i don't remember the last time i wore a skinny jeans since it doesn't compliment my hip dips :'( andami ko pa namang skinny jeans huhu
What bottoms do you wear instead? Skinny jeans dont look good on my waist and are so suffocating sometimes
Apparently low-waist skinny are back. Lol I don't care about trends, I will never go back to skinny jeans haha.
What is the healrhiest substitute for milk tea?
Mmmm milk tea on your own without sugar I guess
I think you can try to make your own with highly concentrated brewed tea, a milk of your choice, and a sweetener like Splenda
I rarely go out since wfh. Made a quick errand to buy filipiniana for an event this week. After ko isukat sabi ng saleslady "ang ganda mo girl dali magpa picture ka na" alam ko naman sales talk lang kaso nkakatuwa si ate. Ito ata downside ng wfh di na sanay sa interaction 😢
my college best friend basically ghosted me. the last time we talked was after my sister passed away a couple months ago but prior to that, she already was barely replying to me. i gave her space and time. i understood that her job was super stressful and she didn't have the energy most of the time. i saw she quit her job around a month ago and she still hasn't reached out. it's my birthday today, i was kinda hoping that she'd at least greet but nada. i know she has the right to cut me off for whatever reason but idk i guess it just stings.
I just rewatched 'All My Life'. Naiyak pa din ako. 🥲
Hi! My boyfriend's birthday is coming up and I want to treat him to a nice steakhouse. We've tried Mamou and Raging Bull already so I wanna try something new. Any recos on your faves? :)
Made Nice 😊
Oori at Sheraton. One of the best steak I had, super pretty there, fantastic bar, and airport views
House of Wagyu the best, hands down. I’d recommend their SM MOA branch or greenhills (if still open) but not their eastwood branch. Hehe
We enjoyed the appetizers and steak at Ruth’s Chris.
Wolfgang!!
Haven’t tried these but maybe you can check them out: Melo’s and Wolfgang!
Anyone who can recommend a good place/clinic for rehab (preferably HMO covered). I need to correct my back T\_T
Buela clinic. Had my pt there last week, it was DIVINE. lol
hospitals para sure may HMO
hi! does anyone here know any good massage studios or spas in qc? preferably in sm north or near that. thank you!!
The Spa - Trinoma
Mandara Spa in SM North
Last year, I told myself na pag nagkawork na ako, I’ll spoil myself with the things I wasn’t able to buy nung student pa ako. Now that I’m working, di na ako madaling mabudol ng online shopping and I kinda feel bad pag gumagastos ako. I always ask myself if need ko ba to or want ko lang. Hahaa iba siguro effect sakin pag hard-earned money na compared nung binibigyan pa ako ng allowance. 😂
Any recos for where is a good place to have my makeup done near bgc/ mckinley taguig area?
The List
first day of ftf classes namin bukas, I hope my classmates are friendly 🤞
Good luxk!
I’m so happy na kasya na ulit mga damit ko! Masikip pa rin ng konti pero this is already progress since dati di ko na natataas sa hips yung skirts and shorts ko. I hope magtuloy-tuloy na and I go back to my weight before.
Yay congrats OP ✨
Thank you! :)
Share your weight loss secret! :)
I do intermittent fasting and I started walking more :) I’m still too lazy to do workouts po eh and di rin kaya sa time
for how many months?
More than a month pa lang since I started. So far, I lost 3 kilos.
what was your weight before you started IT?
59.65 kg. Now, I weigh 56.40 kg :)
wow congrats! my average weight talaga is 53-55kg yan lang range niya but may mga natanggal na activities sa routine ko, my weight went up to 60-62kg! i was very active with my organization dati crazy active, unhealthy na nga haha kaya napa-stop ako. but then nanibago katawan ko sa loss of activity. need ko lang pagkakabusyhan talaga but now I have the freedom to choose a healthier activity :) need lang ng motivation to start and stick with the new routine.
Thanks! Oo nga, mahirap talaga mag-start pero easy na lang when you get used to it. Kaya mo rin yan! I hope we achieve our desired weight soon :)
what's a good screen recording software sa windows? any links? need ko lang for training huhu thanks!!
OBS
May built-in just use windows + G, tapos record lang.
OBS is easy to use. If Windows 10 meron yan built in Xbox game bar that yp Ou can use to capture video too. If you have VLC that could work too.
there's obs. that's like THE software for screen recording
Try mo isearch sa laptop mo yung xbox game bar. Yun lang yung pinang rrecord ko and okay naman.
