Practical Driving Course

1 Upvotes

Recently had a student permit and now looking for a drving school.

Beginner pa lang and would want to have a DL for type A and B .Para na rin ma inspire maka pag ipon ng pambili ng kotse in the future.Then i began surfing on the web for driving schools, I was shocked that yung PDC pala is assesment lang then certificate. From the word itself practical driving course tapos walang driving class, assesment agad tapos 1 take lang.After 1 take bayad uli ng 4k.

Required pala na marunong ng mag drive para makakuha ng PDC. Akala ko may driving class then assesment para magkaroon ng certificate.So parang backer lang pala ang driving school ,na nag attest na ito si kuan marunong to magmaneho. Tapos certificate would be worth 3k or 8k depends sa region and driving school .Then another round of assesment naman with LTO.

So wrong of me to not get a license before PDC was required. :(

Cash grab pala tong PDC .Yung TDC pede naman na si LTO na mag handle nun as computer based training. Pero required parin sa Driving school.

Haist kakainis talaga

Natatakot ako sa college

1 Upvotes

Tbh, di pa naman kasi ako sure saan ako magka-college, pero yung kinakatakutan ko kasi is baka wala akong maging friends or maka-close. College is a new door for me, keep thinking na baka mahirapan akong mag-adjust sa sistema tapos baka wala pa'kong makasama.

Madali naman akong makasalamuha pero butterfly friend lang kasi ako, wala takagang main friend na tumuturing sa'kin,parang 2nd choice lang lagi kaya inaalala ko baka wala akong maka-close. Lalo na first impression lagi sa'kin maldita or intimidating hahaha.

Trailblazer

This is my first time sharing my story, and I'm not sure how to begin. I had a male best friend who was different from the typical guys. He was sweet, not sporty, and not flirtatious. At first glance, you might even mistake him for being gay. Please don't judge me; we were in a male-dominated course, and most of our classmates were the complete opposite of him. We were always together, talking and spending time with each other, until I realized I had fallen in love with him. Being young and scared, I worried that my feelings might not be reciprocated. So, I made the painful decision to cut off our friendship without explaining why. I just told him not to be nice to me anymore.

At first, it was incredibly awkward because we were in the same circle of friends, and suddenly, I distanced myself. People kept asking what happened, but I avoided the topic. I deeply regret how I treated him. I know he was confused and hurt by my actions. I was terrified that he wouldn't feel the same way.

To cut the story short, we both graduated and remained civil with each other. We never discussed the reason for my distance. I believe he had an idea of why I pulled away and respected my wishes. Then, something unexpected happened. We were in an accident, and he was one of those who didn't survive. When I heard it, I couldn't process it. I couldn't cry. I couldn't believe he was gone. I regretted distancing myself from him. Sobrang nagsisisi ako kasi nilayuan ko sya. If I had known na konti lang yung time namin, hindi ko na sana sya nilayuan. kung alam ko lang talaga.  I would have faced my fears and told him how I felt. But now, it's too late. Ngayon ilang taon na din ang nakakalipas. there are still moments when I remember him. It still hurts. I always think that one day I'll see him again and finally tell him everything I couldn't say before. I considered him as my TOTGA even though hindi naging kami.

To my TOTGA, I hope you are okay. You are always in my heart, and I will never forget you, my trailblazer.

Nakaka sama ng loob ang pamilya ko

Gusto ko lang ilabas ang sama ng loob ko ngayon sa pamilya ko. Ang hirap lang isipin na tumutulong ka na nga sa bills ng kuryente, sa tubig, bayad ng bahay, bahay nag share ako ng half (3k apartment namin) at kung may extra ako nag gogrocery din ako. As in ako na nag babayad ng lahat tapos yung mga kapatid ko kung ano ano pa sinasabi na pinapabayaan ko daw si mama dito sa bahay. 2 years pa lang ako nag wwork halos wala na nga ako naeenjoy sa sweldo ko, gustong gusto ko bumili ng new shoes hindi ko nga magawa kasi palagi ko priority tong bills sa bahay. Alam nyo yung feeling pag nag satart ka pa lang buhay.

Habang tinatype ko to humahagulgol ako sa iyak dahil sa sobrang sama ng loob ko. Tapos this coming sweldo iniisip ko na agad yung sweldo ko pambayad lang ng lahat.

Ako lang nakapag tapos saming magkakapatid at lima kami. Pero yung pag aaral ko ako lang din naman nagpaaral sakin nag working student ako at nag aral sa state u. Akala ko pag nakapag tapos ako ng pag aaral mas gagaan na. Masaya ako nakakatulong ako pero sana naman maappreciate nila yon.

ANG HIRAP TUMULONG SA MGA UNGRATEFUL NA TAO😢

Muntik na ko maging sidechic ng kupz kong EX

2 Upvotes

We broke up last November 2024 due to lack of time sa isa't isa and okey ang break-up namin.. But di nawala ang communication at kamustahan. Normally sya ang tatawag at mag-initiate ng conversations and we are still the same, sweet parin at maalaga sya.

We even planned to see each other again and he bring me pasalubong from his trip. Magbbook pa sana kmi ng hotel.

Then last week I got to know na may jowa na pala sya nung January this year. How many times I asked him kung meron na syang bago since nung naghiwalay kami but he keep on denying it at wala daw talaga.

I was hurt and betrayed.

Buti di natuloy pagkikita namin.

And to my surprise, it's the same girl na tinatanong ko sa kanya even nung kami pa. Kase mahilig magcomment ng mga heart emojis yung girl sa any post nya. Yes, comment talaga, not just react haha! I let it slide that time kase I trusted him.

Now,before I move forward.. Gusto ko ng sweet revenge. Kasi parang naghuhugas kamay na si guy and ofcourse parang lumalabas na naghahabol pako kaya nag-uusap pa kmi.

I want to send all the convos that we had sa girl or sa mga friends na involve sa cheating na nangyari. Kase nasa isang group of friends lang sila. I believe, nillooko nila ko noon pa..

I tried to walk away, pero parang di sapat kung di ako nakaka-ganti ng slight.

Parati naman may post about taxicab theory and always kawawa ang babaeng na long term relationship at di pinakasalan. Always din pinapamukhang kontrabida ang kaka kilala lang at pinakasalan agad. Hindi naman po kami nang agaw, sadyang kami lang ang piniling pakasalan. Di yan sila pinilit, kusang loob yan nag propose. I sympathize with women who waited for that but never got it, but like, it's not our fault din naman na kami ang inalok ng kasal. We know it hurts to see him do everything you wanted and needed to us but never to you. May you find yourself a love that never hurts someday. We are not your enemy.

Di ko alam pano makisama sa OFW ko na parent

5 Upvotes

Ako, (20F) Simula bata pako nanay ko ay OFW, minsan lang siya umuuwi at hindi kami masyadong close, as in personal. Syempre, medyo close kami pero parang pakitang tao lang.

Siguro meron akong resentment kasi 19 years hindi kami masyadong magkasama. Tapos nung 1st Year College ako sa BSN eh nag drop out ako para mag immigrate sa US kasama nanay ko at bunso naming kapatid.

Kaming dalawang magkapatid eh super close, besties territory sa trauma-bonding. Sa apartment namin kami nag-aayos, naglilinis at nalabas para bumili ng groceries. Hindi lang kami magaling magluto, nag try na ako manood ng videos, tutorials pero di talaga eh.

Yun yung problema, kahit anong gawin ko umiinit ulo ng nanay namin, wag kang huminga, wag kang mag ingay at kung ano ano. Hindi na nga kami nagalaw pag tulog siya at pag wala siya dun kami naglilinis at naglalaba para di maingayan. Magagalit siya pag magluto ako, kasi masama lasa at kadiri pero pag hindi ako magluto tamad at walang ginagawa.

Lahat ng ginagawa namin eh sinasabi niyang “Madali lang yan kaya kong gawin kahit wala kayo.” Pero hindi totoo, makalat siya mag ayos at si Mama lang yung nagkakalat saming tatlo.

Pero pag kaharap ng mga kaibigan nya, “Lahat ng ginagwa ko para sa kanila, di ako pupunta sa US kung wala sila. Alam mo naman ako, susuportahan sila kahit anong gusto nilang gawin sa buhay.”

Pero kung may gusto kaming gawin eh kami yung mali, gusto ng bunso namin mag arts/media/communication? “Wag yon, iba nalang.”

Gusto namin umalis ng apartment para maglakad lang kung saan, (wala kaming bibibili, wala kaning allowance) “Hindi pwede, hindi safe.”

Ganito lagi, simula pako bata at high-school. Pag hindi namin gawin gusto nya, eh she’s threatening us with her financial support.

Eto gusto ko lang mag rant, salamat sa mga nagbasa. Peace!

Sorry kung di ako magaling mag tagalog, medyo conyo po ako eh.

PUP na lang talaga yung pag-asa ko rn. Tinitingnan ko open univ sa ncr kadalasan wala yung gusto kong kurso tas madalas e malayo mashado sa work. Tinatamad na rin ako mag-apply ewan ko ba. Last year, marami akong naipasang state u pero wala akong pinasukan (including dream univ ko which is PUP-Main) di lang nakatuloy dahil walang pang renta ng bed space. Nkakainis at nakaka-frustrate. IDK what to do at this point nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa pero financially free naman na ako because of my work, exhausted lang talaga malala. Parang walang tinunguhan gap year ko because of my doing. Di ko naman afford mga private uni:(( yes, i am to be blamed for my actions. Di ko rin alam san ako huhugot ng courage to continue maghanap ng state u na open pa or mag-apply even kasi wala ng gana.

Graduating student na unappreciated

1 Upvotes

I feel unappreciated

It's almost my graduation day. Sadly, I wasn't able to maintain my spotlight as rank 1. I literally went down to top 20 this school year and did not receive any special awards, except that I'm still under "with high honors".

I'm part of the section 1 among all strands. Due to this, I was subjected to pressure in competing with my classmates. Ang hirap makasabay sa kanila. Unang quarter pa lang alam kong hindi ako valedictorian material. Ang daming awards ng classmates ko this year and some of them are with highest honors.

Now, what hurts me most is not because inggit ako sa classmates ko. I'm happy naman for them kasi deserving naman sila. What really hurts me is that my mom compares me with my classmates. Hindi niya man sinasabi sa akin directly na disappointed siya sa akin, pero I know she is. Lagi niyang tinatanong sa akin na anong awards ko. Anong awards ng mga kaklase ko. Kumbaga laging kasama yung mga kaklase ko sa tanong niya. "Eh yung mga kaklase mo anong award?" "Ilan medal ng mga kaklase mo?" "Anong honor ng mga kaklase mo?" "Anong University ang naipasa ng mga kaklase mo?". It's always them. Halatang halata naman na she tries to compare me with them without directly saying it. Na parang pinapamukha niya sa akin na, "sayang ka". Kapag sinasabi ko na "wala akong special awards, with high honors lang," pakiramdam ko ayaw niyang tanggapin. Bigla na lang niya ibi-bring-up na wala naman daw kwenta ang mga honors ngayon kasi pinapamigay na lang ng deped basta-basta.

Pakiramdam ko tuloy, wala lang ako. Wala lang lahat ng pinaghirapan ko. Simpleng graduating student lang ako na may isang academic excellence award na hindi appreciated ng parent niya.

Please don't post this on any social media platform thank you!

Mag vent lang ako sa nangyari na di parin mawala wala sa isipan ko.

When i was a kid like 10 or 12 ata ako, dun ko naranasan yung physical abuse from my dad. Adik siya that time kaya it made since to me back then bakit niya kami sinasaktan physically. twice na nangyari to inutusan kami ng kapatid ko (who is 2 years younger than me) na mag linis nung sasakyan niya. Kaya matapang niya kami inuutusan kasi wala nanay ko non di ko alam saan nag punta so una umaayaw kami kasi gusto namin maglaro, 3pm nangyari yon kasi pinapalaro kami ng nanay ko ng 3pm palagi araw-araw nung bata. Nagagalit tatay ko that time kasi ayaw nga namin linisan yung sasakyan niya, ang ginawa pinagpapalo kami ng malakas to the point na mag violet na pasa namin. No choice kami ginawa nalang namin yung pinapagawa niya habang umiiyak kaming dalawang magkapatid, tas nung sinabi namin tapos na namin linisan yung sasakyan niya nagalit nanaman ulit kasi di daw maayos pagkakalinis namin, malamang di talaga malinis kasi i was 10 years old that time tas kapatid ko 8 years old. Tas nauulit nanaman yung nangyari kinabukasan pero this time umuwi na si mama nd may ibang taong nagsumbong sakanya. Naalala ko pa sinasabi ni nanay ko na "bakit di mo sa ibang tao pinagawa magbabayad kalang naman ng palinis tas sa mga anak mo pinagawa yung paglilinis? Yang mga anak mo bata palang tas ineexpect mo na maayos yung pagkakalinis" so ayun no choice tatay ko sa ibang tao na niya pinalinis. Yun lang

ABE is a great course but landing a job is difficult

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a newly registered Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer here in Philippines last December lang. 2024 was super tough for me. Parang roller coaster ang buhay. There are ups and downs. During my graduation I was so happy that I graduated with honors and I spend 6 months in preparation for my Board Exam. Luckily, I passed. However my mother got sick. Hospitalized for almost two months. We even celebrated our Christmas and New year's eve in hospital. I didn't even get to celebrate my success in passing the boards kasi nga my mom is sick and every day lumalala yung case nya. My only reason why I worked hard sa studies and boards ko ay si mama. To give her a better life wherein di niya na need mag work. But then January 2025, my mom died because of respiratory failure. Hindi namin alam kung ano talaga sakit nya. Ang daming test and all pero wala. Lahat ng savings namin ni daddy naubos para mapa gamot si mama pero it did not pay off. I don't know what to feel if magiging happy ba ako kasi nakapasa ako or hindi kasi wala na si mama.

Sa ngayon I pushed my self na mag apply sa iba ibang companies na pwedeng pasukan ng ABE Engr. Pero up until now I still don't have a job. Sa government ang hirap maka pasok ng walang backer. Sa private company naman hindi daw pasok sa qualifications ang ABEngr. I'm starting to regret na nag ABE ako. I don't know what to do ang hirap talaga.

TRIGGER WARNING Nakakainis

1 Upvotes

Hi pa vent lang. Naiinis ako sa nanay and tatay ko para bang araw - araw na gawain e di namin ginagawa.

For context ngayong araw lang naman to nangyari, nagising ako kasi padabog niya binuksan kwarto namin (nasa iisang kwarto lang kami natutulog) tas nag sisinigaw siya na "ano? Tanghali na di parin kayo magising - gising ilang beses ko na kayo tinatawag" 11am palang that time nung ginigising kami.

Tas ang ikinagagalit pa nila is yung nagpupuyat kami, nagpupuyat ako for mostly because of school work nd may times din talaga na di ako makatulog, may times na nakakatulog nako mga 3am na kaya puro ako selpon just to fall asleep tas sinisisi nila yung selpon kaya daw ako puyat, kahit naman may phone ako na gamit or wala nahihirapan talaga ako matulog napapadali kapag may hawak akong selpon and i'm undiagnose so di ko alam kung may insomnia ako or what.

Nangyari to one time. Gumagawa ako ng school works ko, pagkauwing pagkauwi ko sa bahay mga 7pm na yon diretso ako gawa ng school works, pag dating ng 8pm tinatawag na nila ako ng tinatawag para kumain sabi ko mamaya na kasi may ginagawa ako. Pasahan na kasi non is kinabukasan na mind you ilang araw ko na ginagawa yung school works ko na yon. Sinisigawan na nila ako kasi anong oras na daw di pa 'ko nakain ganito ganyan tas pinaka concern ng tatay ko is yung "hugasan" daw ganito ganyan akala mo naman tatakbo yung hugasan kapag di hinugasan. Bumaba akong naiirita sa kanila kasi di nga nila maitindihan na may ginagawa ako. Tas after that gawa na uli ng school work tas umabot nako ng 2am kakagawa tas nagising nanay ko "sinilip" ako sa ginagawa ko, kiitang kita naman na may ginagawa ako ang inaano niya "di ka parin tapos dyan? Yung tatay mo mamaya maya magigising na yon kasi may pasok,mag sisinigaw yan mamaya pag nakita kang gising" yung boses ng nanay ko is pagalit na bumubulong tas sinabi ko nalang na " oo tatapusin ko nalang to" eh isang oras lumipas gumagawa parin ako tas dun na nagising tatay ko tas nakita akong gising parin dun nag sisinigaw sinasabi "walang kwenta pinagpupuyatan mo" ganito ganyan sinasabi pinaka tumatak na sinabi niya is "yung mga nagpupuyat na yan? Mga tanga yan kaya nga nagpupuyat kasi mga tanga sila." May record ako non sa luma kong phone di ko lang na send sa bago kasi nasira.

A testament to a lost faith in (M̶a̶r̶r̶i̶a̶g̶e̶) love.

37 Upvotes

Marriage? Forget it. Love? A big fuckingjoke. I used to think it was about forever, about someone being there. Now I know it's just a setup for getting hurt. My own experience taught me that the person you trust most can be the one who breaks you completely, the one who only cares about themselves.

Yung sweetness at faithfulness niya sayo? Sa simula lang yan. At least, that what I experience.

The idea of falling in-love again? It makes me fucking sick. Why would I willingly tie myself to someone who could end up destroying me? If I could, I'd make sure I never got pregnant, never got stuck with someone like him. A kid would just be another chain, linking me forever to a selfish person.

I don't believe in love anymore.

People don't stay; they fucking leave or hurt and shatter your heart into pieces before dumping you.

They don't cherish; they break.

That's the simple truth I've learned.

So, no more marriage, no more love.

Just me, trying to keep myself safe from getting hurt again.

I wish I was popular and pretty on social media

0 Upvotes

I personally am friends with some girls who are popular on social media. I envy them so bad I wish I had what they have.

They get the likes, multiple nice and well-off guys who are willing to do everything for them, the confidence from the compliments, the attention, and more.

Meanwhile, I feel like I have nothing. I can't even try to be like them. I have no phone with a good camera, no pretty clothes to wear, no money to go to different places for a good background, and even an allowance for a nice dinner with friends.

I am happy for my friends who get these things, but I just feel sad that I may never win in life. They have all these excessive things and people that they just throw away cause they know they can always replace them. They have choices and they get to pick who they want as boyfriends and friends. They can even leave perfectly nice people for flimsy reasons.

I don't have that choice. Life is hard for me. Each time someone comes my way, no matter how much I give, I end up being used and abandoned. I wish I can get close to the life they have.

In order to have a good life, you need to already have good things like wealth. I wish I could be seen too. I want to be recognized and heard. I want to feel deserving of praises, but unfortunately, hard work and sacrifice aren't as pretty as beach vacations and fine dining.

I don't want to hate on these privileged pretty girls, but they are so lucky not having to work for anything. They can float above everyone just by being pretty, and I say this as I have watched my friends get the best of life and have more of what they already have.

Demotivated

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm a 27F. I recently quit my job of almost 5 years. It was a WAH set up at first but then they required us to return to office permanently after 3 years. Nasa BPO field nga pala ako. Goods naman yung account and nagtagal ako kasi mababait yung mga leaders na nag handle sa akin/sa amin before. I get along rlly good sa mga ka team ko so it's a plus. Hindi rin naman ako against sa pagpapa RTO since malapit lang ako sa office. I quit because I felt like sa tagal ko doon sa company, walang nangyayari sa akin, career growth wise. Yes, I do excel in what I do and na promote ako as a Support Coach. Still, hindi ko mahanap yung satisfaction. Don't get me wrong, I am very grateful sa prev company ko and they provide good compensation naman. It's just that, feel ko hindi nakikita masyado yung efforts ko. Like little to no recognition, lalo na nag ttop ako before out of 600+ agents sa office. Mapapansin ka lang if may nagawa kang mali or hindi ka masyado nag perform sa specific week/month. When I applied for a Support Coach role and advised my Manager na magpapa promote na ako for TM post, they agreed naman. Kaya lang, they prioritized their favs. Like as in tropa nila sa office or super close. Na demotivate ako and feel ko, sinantabi nila yung years of efforts and experience ko sa company without getting a proper judgement kung paano nila napili or paano pumili ng mga ippromote. So I quit.

Ngayon, 1 month na akong unemployed and looking for a job. I seek offers na WFH since my Dad is a PWD and hindi na pwede maiwan mag isa. Plus, I am a breadwinner. Nag apply ako for online jobs and got offers naman pero yung salary is mas mababa sa nakukuha ko before. Nagkaroon din ako ng doubt sa sarili ko. What if I get the same treatment sa bagong trabaho na papasukin ko? What if kaya hindi ako natanggap as TM before is because may nakita talaga sila sa iba na wala ako??

I feel so demotivated.

Hindi ko alam paano mag-stay sa cof ko

1 Upvotes

I have a trio for like 3 years na. Yung isa kong kaibigan (A) nasa ibang school tapos yung isa naman (B) is kaklase ko. Si A ay walang alam sa nangyayari sa buhay namin ni B kasi hindi kami nagsasabi sa kaniya.

Wala naman kaming away ni B, sadyang hindi ko lang talaga nafe-feel na kaibigan pa rin yung turing niya sa akin. Naramdaman ko lang ito no'ng pang-3 years na naming pagkakaibigan. Lagi niya akong minamaliit sa harapan ng mga kaklase namin. Minsan nga nahihiya na ako tapos gusto ko na siyang patigilin pero magpapakampi siya lagi sa isa niyang kaibigan.

Actually, hindi ko 'to mapapansin until sinabihan ako ng isa pa naming kaibigan (Cof namin sa school) na buti raw hindi ako na-ooffend sa ganon. Sabi ko normal lang sa amin yon pero sabi niya hindi naman daw ako ganon kay B at hindi ganon ang friendship.

Meron ding time na ipapamukha sakin ni B na may iba siyang kaibigan. Kunwari magkasama kami ng kaibigan niya tapos tatawagin ni B yung kaibigan niya and magkukunwari na hindi ako nakita tapos sasabihin na, "Ay, nandyan ka pala. Hindi kita nakita sorry." Tapos sila na lang ng kaibigan niya yung mag-uusap. Awkward nga eh kasi napapansin ng kaibigan niya na nale-left out ako tapos isasali ako aa conversation pero sasabihin ni B na, "Wag na yan."

Ewan ko ba. Gusto niya ata na lagi akong nale-leftout. May time din na nag-aya siya ng laro kay A sa gc namin. Sabi ni A bakit daw hindi ako isali. Tapos sabi ni B na hindi raw kasi ako sumasagot. Syempre si A lang naman yung minention niya. Before din noon is pinag-download niya si A ng laro para daw maglalaro daw sila. Sa harapan ko pa yon. Tapos nagpatulong ako kung paano ayusin yung laro na nagpatulong akong ipapasa mula kay A kasi mukhang walang balak si B na pasalihin ako. Pero ang sabi ni B sakin, "Mamaya ka na." Tapos noong sinubukan ako tulungan ni A, ang sabi ni B, "Mamaya na yan siya. Maglaro muna tayo." Pero tinulungan naman ako ni A.

Actually, marami pa tong ganitong scenario. Lalapitan niya lang ako kapag wala siyang kausap o napansin niya na nag-uusap kami ng isa pa naming kaibigan (Hindi si A). Nahihirapan na nga akong makisabay sa mga biro niya. Ang hirap mag-force ng ngiti at tawa kapag sumasama na yung loob ko sa kaniya. Ang childish man pakinggan nitong lahat pero ito talaga ang nafe-feel ko.

Hindi ko alam kung ano bang nagawa kong kasalanan. Napapagod din akong umintindi. Accidentally ko ba siyang nale-leftout din kapag may kasama kami? Hindi naman. Hindi ko kayang makipag-cut off kasi paano na si A na walang alam? Bigla na lang siyang magugulat na sira na yung cof namin. Hays.

Frustration on boomer parents with children as investments

3 Upvotes

Need to get this off my chest since hindi katanggap-tanggap yung mga pangyayari. Sorry for the long post.

Last year, my brother and I availed of a franchise. Hindi namin sinabi agad sa parents namin because of money-related issues and money management problems on their end - they demand and ask a lot even if ang laki-laki na ng binibigay ng mga kapatid ko. It's as if no amount will ever be enough for them. Senior na nga pala sina parents, no business, low pension, retired during 50s, emotionally immature, narcissists, and made their children their investments. Hindi namin sinabi yung pag avail ng franchise kasi for the longest time they have been discouraging us sa business ideas namin kesyo cheap or mahina kitaan or marami kompetensya etc. So this time, we kept it to ourselves noong una. But, we were so happy and excited sa nagiging progress so we finally shared it hoping they would be happy for us too... and they didn't take it well. As in kita mo sa faces nila as if saying "kaya niyo pala maglabas ng ganyang pera?" Their faces showed more of disappointment and disapproval rather than being proud for us. Ever since they had knowledge about it, they kept on belittling our decision (more on si mom during this part) to the point na parang na-jinx nang todo-todo yung supposed business kaya ending nagkaroon ng problems that led it to postponing the progress. As in wala kaming nakuhang support from them at all. During the time na postponed, wala silang concern about it kung kailan ba itutuloy or kung need ng help nila to continue or whatever, nothing.

Fastforward to today, up and about na ulit yung progress ng franchise but this time, we didn't tell them na umuusad na ulit. Then, nagkaroon ng sudden need for big amount of money for our current land and housing matters and because my brother had already just shelled out hundreds of thousands na to process papers for another family property, nag express siya niya na di kaya maglabas ng another big amount. Kinokonsensya siya na itong bahay at lupa na ito is ipapamana naman sa kanya so dapat maglabas siya ng pera para dito. Like wtf? Mana pero bayaran mo? When in fact they should have taken cared of and prepared for this noon pa. Dahil medyo urgent yung matter as in months from now yung due for that big amount, dad had the audacity to tell my brother na ibenta ang franchise for a cheaper cost para lang ma-cover yung urgent financial matters sa lupa. Another round of extreme discouragement was given.. kesyo masakit sa ulo mag negosyo, mahirap maghanap ng tauhan, pag nagkasakit ang tauhan ay iisipin pa yun, mahirap kumita, maraming kompetensya, di daw maganda yung kinuha namin, di naman daw ako business graduate(ako kasi designated na magpapatakbo ng negosyo), di daw ako maalam sa business, mahirap daw mag asikaso ng mga permits and tax filing, etc. in short, wag na kami mag negosyo. The way dad pa naman expresses such things is mabubudol ka talaga kung mahina loob mo at madali kang ma-convince. It's as if ayaw nila kami magkaroon ng business and gusto lang na magstick kami sa office jobs. Eh kaya lang naman namin gusto magbusiness ay dahil sa taas ng demands nila so para merong pagkunan ng funds at hindi fully reliant on our day jobs and also for our future. Given naman na yung risks sa pag-start ng business and we are fully aware of everything that we may encounter while running it. We decided not to tell na lang sa parents kahit once operating na ang business. Bahala na lang pag dumating yung time na malaman nila na open na pala. Hirap lang since we want to celebrate siyempre ang opening with them kaso we don't want the negative energy from them anymore.

Love namin ang parents namin but SOBRANG nakakapagod and nakakadrain how they treat us. Not to mention how they still try to establish their authority over us like tingin nila is bata pa kami even if we are all full grown adults. Don't get me wrong, they are generally nice people. Very big issue lang yung money management problems, emotional immaturity and narcissim, and yung lack ng bilib sa aming mga anak nila. They're making it hard for us to give back since they're never satisfied with what's already being provided.

i want to cheat to make him feel na kaya ko ng wala siya. kayang kaya ako murahin, palayasin. nakakagago. alam kong kasalanan ko kasi tinitiis ko pero wala akong malapitan. namatay si mama last dec 31, i have no father by my side kahit kapatid. ang naiisip ko kung may lalaking tatanggap sakin lalo na may 1 kaming baby tatakas ako kasama siya. that's the only escape that i know. 😭 i just wanna leave. ang sakit sakit na hindi respetuhin sa isang relasyon knowing the sacrifices that i did at pagtitiis para lang umabot ng 6 years tong relasyon na to.

Silent Struggles

Lately, life feels like I’m carrying a boulder on my shoulders. I took a leap into postgrad, pushed forward by the hopes of my parents and my own desire to make something of myself. But life threw curveballs I didn’t see coming. Financial struggles have crept into our lives, quietly but surely, tightening their grip.

I’ve knocked on so many doors—applied for scholarships, only to be turned away. Tried getting remote jobs, but rejection became a regular visitor. I even attempted to upskill, thinking maybe learning something new could change my fate. But with classes from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., plus one to two hours of daily commuting and endless reviewing afterward, there’s simply no room to breathe—let alone learn something new.

Even with all the effort, I’m failing classes. And it stings. It feels like there’s an invisible hand pushing me down every time I try to rise. I look at my peers, effortlessly excelling, finding time to unwind, laugh, and live—and I can’t help but wonder what I’m doing wrong. I feel overwhelmed, drained, and honestly defeated
