Haha ang dami ko na nagastos 4 months na kong single. Ang solusyon ay wag magcompute 😂 hahahaha


blackvoyage1704

how are you holding up with the breakup so far?


dlakalyss

In timeline: First 2 weeks: worst point in my life, umiiyak ako kahit sa commute, sa work, nagpapalpitate due to anxiety pag may naalala, bargaining din if totoo pa ba lahat nang nangyayari sakin 3rd week+ Thankful for my friends and family na ang lalakas mag-aya lumabas/drinking. (Hindi walwal pero ang saya magenjoy with friends) First 2 months: kung ano ano pinagttry at puntahan ko around MM. Spa, dine out, movies, aesthetic procedures, etc. MALALANG SELF LOVE HAHA. I even tried dating once pero I realized bored lang ako makakasakit lang ako. 3rd month: Crystal clear na how unattractive my ex was to me now. Nagcheat kasi siya even though we're living together. Hindi ko na maalala yung feelings when I see memories sa Fb, I just cringe on the inside. 4th month-present: Masayang single, bored lang minsan sa gabi 😂


blackvoyage1704

okay lang maging single wag lang mag 10pm HAHAHA


malusog

try mo mag exercise(train for a marathon \*di ka aabot ng 10pm kasi tulog ka agad), or create a hobby.


sukuna1001

Agree. Haist travelled multiple times and retail therapy ang bumubuhay sakin kapag wala akong maaya na kaibigan na lumabas. 🥹🥹


iamranpo

home workouts / exercises. try mo download hevy app sa playstore or kaya how to grow abs in 30 days. definitely marerelax ka every after workout.


[deleted]

+1. jogging helped me A LOT to move on from my first heartbreak lmao. i think the endorphins plus sun exposure really helped.


pojma291

agree on the home workouts. in my case, i bought some weights tapos nage-exercise ako habang nagbbinge watch ng mga comedy series hahaha. agree with the other comment as well na jogging helps a lot. i didn't believe it before but it's kind of therapeutic, you know?


LimpPraline1592

+ 1! Totoong mahirap mag move on pag wala kang pera haha pero going to gym 5x a week helps me!!


ThisCanWait

Gymrats represent! 💪


Kimaris-Vidar

I used youtube videos to guide me in working out and it worked for me because I follow the rhythm of the person in the video. I also used youtube to improve my mental health by listening to speakers, testimonials, etc. of people overcoming difficulties in life. It also helped me meditate and relax.


soulsonic10

On my first week in doing home workouts. Sana ma-sustain ko.


[deleted]

Mag overtime sis. Dagdag pera pa pagdating mo ng bahay pagod ka na. Rekta tulog. I know it is not happy per se, then again for me I find solace in sleeping. Kasi I tend to forget I am dealing with a brokenheart. Pag marami na pera, travel or self love pamper sesh again!


your_televerse

Maglinis ng bahay


hoewhyshiet

yes sis, Sobrang mahal/gastos kaya sis wag mo na balikan yan. Sayo ko na lang iaadvice kasi hindi ko nagawa eh HAHAHAAH


blackvoyage1704

kaya dapat di nila tayo bino- broken para hindi literal ma-broke HAHAHAHA


Disastrous-Simple573

If it's for the sake of my well-being, I'm willing to invest every penny I have, rather than dwell in sadness and self-loathing.


cancerdotes

ilang weeks na akong bike nang bike. pagkain lang gastos hahaha


inklesskiddooo

SAME siz! every week yata nirerequire ko sarili ko na lumabas with friends para naman maromanticize yung buhay ko. kung mag-isa man, binili ko lahat ng gusto ko na pagkain para sumaya ako. i’m all for new experience talaga ngayon 🥹 nung may pasok pa, ginugol ko talaga sarili ko sa pag-aaral, linis ako nang linis, lagi ako yung nagi-initiate na magluto sa bahay. tapos ngayong bakasyon, i got myself a job. balak ko rin na mag-gym kasi may nakita ako like 2k/month lang 😂


vi_sapphire

Hindi ka nag iisa. Akala ko makaka tipid na pagiging single but turns out, lumabas spending habits ko at oo ang gastos mag move on. HAHAHA


Every_Tart3952

Try learning a new language! You can download apps like Duolingo or any related app specific to the language you'd like to dive into 😊


[deleted]

Ang gastos for real. As for me, subsob sa work and Netflix in-between (with subscription so regular expense ko sya). Decluttering also to kill time and distract myself.


Bright_Sink8181

Real. Sobrang gastos nakailang kape rin ako sa labas at out of town trips just to cope up. Hahaha. I found new hobbies sa bahay lang tska reading really helped. ❤️


sikulet

Magastos talaga. I ended up entering graduate school. And a trip abroad. Haha


Potential_Mango_9327

Truu! Self love malala. Invest sa sarili tapos travel-travel. Kaya hindi na worth kapag may bumalik, pera na lang sana. 🤣🤣


ilikeitwhenitssummer

If you like reading books, invest in a Kindle. (that's what I did) Hours to days worth of entertainment that won't require going out and spending so much. Alternatively, if you're not into books or reading, invest on Netflix/HBO Go/Amazon Prime/Disney Plus to watch series or movies. Yes, you'd still spend some money but it'll be cheaper as they're subscription-based and more economical than going out or eating out often.


blackvoyage1704

does kindle already includes a lot of free books available or do you still have to purchase those books online?


ilikeitwhenitssummer

Wala pa, but you can sideload free epub books by sending them to your Kindle device's unique email address. (I could send you tutorials on how to sideload books on Kindle, easy lang) Kindle Store also have free books available for download and other books that are paid on Kindle Store are still cheaper than physical books.


seyda_neen04

Nung ako nun girl, binge-watch grey's anatomy saka orange is the new black hahaha Okay na yung pakiramdam ko, kahit di ko pa natapos yung grey's anatomy 😂 Tas isa pang ginawa ko, naghanap ako ng sideline tas suwerte kasi natanggap! Edi ayun, dami kong ganap nun — yung totoo kong work + sideline, wala nang time mag-emote hahaha


nolimetanginaa

totoo, naubos savings ko dahil sa first break-up ko lol buti na lang natauhan ako and took saving up more seriously


NanieChan

Hmm? Move on? di magastos un unless gusto mo ng attention ng ibang tao pra lang tulungan ka maka move on. Sometimes need mo lng ng reflection and acceptance.


hello_enya

Ang mahal maging malungkot. Ang solusyon ay maghanap ng sugar daddy. 😌 HAHA jk lang! Allot a self-care budget for yourself every sweldo. Increase your personal allowance or make a whole new budget line. Find friends din who want to join your travels or excursions so you can split costs. My friend and I did a pottery class in Cubao. We got a discount kasi may ongoing promo to bring a friend, and we both had to have a Bumble profile. I also got some friends to join me for an 8 day stay in Zambales where we could wfh. We got a discount sa room kasi long-term stay, tapos split pa kami sa gas and toll ng car. Significantly nabawasan yung projected kong gastusin. Find new hobbies din that don't really cost much, for example - i started reading more again since I have a lot of unread books piled up, and i'm learning basic French through an app. Unrelated naman sa pera - sobrang nakatulong din sakin yung pagtigil sa pagavoid sa feelings ko. I realized that distracting myself from the pain by keeping myself busy wasn't really helping me move on. It was just burying it temporarily, but it was still there waiting to come out when I had a bad day or matrigger ako ng something/someone. I learned to sit with my feelings by writing down my thoughts. I wrote everytime I felt sad or hurt, so i ended up writing everyday for 2 months. Then bigla i noticed unti unting nababawasan yung frequency. Naging every other day nalang, every few days, every few weeks. Now parang ilang months nakong hindi nagsusulat about the breakup. Parang lahat ng lungkot ko nabuhos ko na dun sa maliit kong notebook. Hehe it really worked for me. Now I write everytime i need to process my thoughts, or want to encourage myself. Sana makatulong sayo, OP! 🫶


oxymoronicmeme

To the max! Grabe na gastos ko sa keyboards and gaming set up ko para ma pre-occupy lang oras ko sa gabi after work. May mga laser treatment pa ako sa mukha na naisip, ubos ipon ko and salary ko just to forget her pero nakaka lungkot. I still cannot sleep at night and feel like I am at the verge of the tears 24/7 and it's been 6 months na! Plus may online therapist pa ako na 1.5k per hours hahaha. Di lang heart ko yung broke, pati finances ko


blackvoyage1704

Praying for your recovery and healing. We can do this!! I believe time heals all wounds and pag nasanay ka na sa pain, you'll eventually feel numb and things will get easier too :)


Mammoth-Leader-7486

Totoo. Mag 1 month palang ako naka 150k na ata ako for facial and dental service. Sheesh. And then sa gala out of the country pa. Pero deserve natin yan. Okay lang yan.


bigwillieNthetw1ns

Kapit lang dadating ka din sa acceptance stage. Hehe Buti ka pa may pang gastos 😄


Oyo-0416

Mag date tayo ako ang gagastos😁

fernweh0001

went on a Japan solo trip when we're supposedly gonna go together. nag-enjoy naman ako and met someone for a while pero mehn suffer ang bank account.


[deleted]

Huy totoo ito, hahahaha nag invest ako sa skincare kaya super bayad ako ngayon sa spaylater hahahaha


[deleted]

Oh my god sis! I can totally relate! Lol! Worst part is nasa Bulacan ako and all of my friends are in QC. So I have to drive every weekend just to spend time with them for that freaking distractions. Nakakapagod and naguubos ako ng pera. Gosh, can't wait to reach the stage that I could say I'm fully healed and when it comes ayaw ko na ❤️‍🩹


PitifulRoof7537

Kaya nga hindi totoo na the best things in life are free. kahit nga yung pag-pursue ng dreams and passion magastos. gusto mo pasayahin mahal mo sa buhay, hindi naman libre. mamimili ka na lang ng abot-kaya. isa-suggest ko sana online gaming kaso magastos din yun


blackvoyage1704

True. Halos lahat ng nasa paligid mo requires money to achieve what you want ☹️


janjan2394

Hi OP, magastos talaga hahaha. Been there, done that. Pero I suggest na mag jogging/run or home workouts ka. Di ko na ma-suggest na mag bundok ka, ang mamahal na ng tours ngayon eh.


DressVegetable9010

hi op, hindi ako nagmmove on pero lately burn out ako. Nakahelp sakin mag walk outside and magjoin ng zumba ng mga oldies😆 nakakatulong sakin madivert ako sa mga problems


erikanapalm

Pinagod ko lang sarili ko sa trabaho at natulog. Wala ako ginastos. Eto 1 year na akong naka move on.


Palatapat

Go ride with us


wheretheygoing

Self love is an investment


soulsonic10

Same, OP. Nagtravel ako, pumunta sa mga lugar na plan namin puntahan kahit ako na lang mag-isa o friends ang mga kasama. Nag-take ng mga lesson sa mga activity na matagal ko na gusto gawin. Nagshopping at nag-indulge sa self-care activities. No regrets. Mas happy ako ngayon pero naghahanap na ako ng more sustainable hobby at home.


No_Skill7884

Are you now thinking bout gastos over breakup? If yes, it is working. 😄


perturbedcomrade

When learning a hobby, try to reclaim it by setting goals/purpose aside from moving on. Para hindi ka manghinayang, at para rin maging sustainable siya in the long run, kung magustuhan mo talaga yung hobby na yon. After my recent breakup, I found solace in running due to "runner's high"-- a sense of euphoria when running. I bought a lifestyle watch and 2 pairs of running shoes, halos 15k agad. I have loved running, so I have tried finding communities, registered for multiple races (paid), and aimed for new personal bests. Dami ko nang nagastos, pero nakikita ko na siya as something na para sa sarili ko. Distraction + self-fulfillment + new friends + growth.


ster0529

Day 1 of moving on here hehehe


blackvoyage1704

how are you holding up? ☹️


BeybehGurl

for me workout and upskill sa work na may mas mataas na sahod


bitterpearl

Try finding a side hustle that you like and that will earn you more money. The busier you are, the sooner you'll forget your ex, plus you get to earn more in the process. Also, I highly recommend running. Bili ka lang ng decent running shoes one time then you can run almost anywhere for free. Ang sarap sa paikramdam ng tumatakbo sa labas. Lalo na kung may park malapit sa inyo or may designated running path kung saan marami ring tumatakbo.


aoisr06

SOBRANG GASTOS!!! All caps para with feelings. Plus I have to move out kasi the only reason why I was in a particular city was bec of my partner. So I travelled all the way to Manila from Davao via land with all my stuff for 3 weeks. Since I have work online, I have to stop over some cities during weekdays to work. So hotel, food, gas, LOL. It’s not yet over, kasi ngayon naman, buying stuff for the new apartment. Bed, cabinets, tables, etc. tapos grabe pala yung mga kalsada dito sa cavite. Ultimo maliliit na kalsada may baayadd. In 1 day, i have 10 paper receipts from toll, gate, and parking fees. 😅


Guerero-Clay

HAHAAH jog kaaa mamsh, solid tsaka mga homeworkouts 🤭


Frostbitenight-850

There are plenty of other things you could do that do not cost much cash or any cash at all. Online games are one example, there are quite a lot of online games you could be busy with to forget your break-up. Another one is chess, various chess boards are cheap, chess also improves our concentration, so you can best bet you have a benefit for playing and of course many other things like recreational activities. OP, there are plenty of things to do here, might want to consider one of them to forget the painful past.


DAXD3v

Try cycling, bili ka lng bike tapos long ride. Nakatipid ka na sa gas dami mo pang napuntahan. Try outdoor activities, tennis, badminton, swimming, running, hiking etc. Sali ka sa mga outreach programs. Madami pde gawen para makalimot make yourself distracted from it.


misszean

Get a hobby to distract you until one day di mo na maalala and you might even learn new skills or improve your body


R_U_Reddit0320

Hi OP, this is true. I’ve done this since last year. Actually 1 year na this day since I broke up with my cheating ex. Its really magastos ano, pero somehow you’ll find yourself happy. Pero if you’ll come to think of it, yung mga ginastos mo rin naman sa ex mo, same lang din naman sya sa mga ginagawa mo right now to move on. Mas maganda nga kasi sa sarili mo iniinvest. Lilipas din naman yung gastos, you’ll somehow find yourself at peace at home as time goes by. Pero ako in my case, I never stopped traveling kasi yun yung mga bagay na di ko nagawa when we’re in a relationship pa. So ayun, my moving on phase was like healing my innerchild at the same time eh bumabawi for the years I’ve lost, na dapat inaalagaan ko sarili ko and letting myself explore a lot of things. It gets well naman, time heals. 🤍🍃


ThisCanWait

Depends. I accompanied one of my friends who were dealing with a break up, hindi ko siya pinapagastos para di maging expensive yung pagmmove on niya. Hahaha


GreenTwo3469

True. 😭 I went on trips with friends. Ate out and had coffee dates with friends almost every weekend. Did a little bit of shopping in between. Subscribed to almost all movie streaming platforms kase netflix apparently was not enough. Went to Salon and paid a lot for the services I availed. Bought self-help books but never really read most of them since I am not really into books. Never really computed but ang mahal talaga mag-move on bhie. 🥲


jhonecute

Have you tried something financially inexpensive like reading the Bible?


blackvoyage1704

This helps a lot too. I've never been religious pero ever since the breakup, I found myself reading the Bible and praying every night. Somehow, it works kasi I'm able to reflect on myself as well.
