So I have this account for over a year now, but I haven't had the chance to use it. I've been using PayPal kasi, and since di ko alam paano iverify yung WISE dati, so I didn't bother to explore.

Ngayon, I have a client na di rin ma open PayPal niya so she suggested we do our transaction through WISE. Aligaga pa ako mag login kasi di ko na maalala lahat since di ko naman gamit tong WISE.

Luckily, I was able to get the account verified, so she sent me this small amount muna para ma try if goods na ba. And eto na nga!! ❤️😍

So happy kasi alam niyo naman ang baba ng conversion sa PayPal. At ngayon, may WISE na ako finally!

Kaka send lang niya sakin niyan, and she's gonna send me another payment kahit di ko pa naman nagawa ang work ko. ☺️

So, me and my cousins wanted to go to SM and play some arcade games not until we found this one game that can actually generate a lot of tickets.

We then tried it out and we were actually shocked na marami nga magbigay tickets kaya napalaro kami dyan para sa remaining tokens namin and decided to exchange it for some snacks and drinks tho it would've been cheaper to get snacks and drinks than hvaing to buy tokens but it doesn't matter coz we had fun tho.

As a first time OFW, first time ko mag celebrate ng birthday away from my family, 29 years with them, and now on my 30th Birthday, I am celebrating life as if its a normal day, dahil mas importante yung sahod kaysa mag absent huhuhu. Anyway, still so grateful and blessed for celebrating another milestone in my life.

Edit: kanya kanya nalang po kuha ng slice ng cake 🤣

P.S. the cake was from Pinterest po, just put it to relate sa post. Since I have no time also to buy cake for myself. 😩.

Thank you so much for the warm greetings. Kakaiba yung feeling na mag celebrate mag isa and to get greetings from strangers.

Sobrang lala ng traffic. Umalis ng Cubao Aug 31, 7pm. Nasa NLEx na by 8pm, nakalabas ng NLEx San Simon, Pampanga Sept 1, 8:20am nakarating ng Tarlac by 8:36am

Medyo humuhupa na baha sa may San Simon. Keep safe sa lahat.

currently in my 4th year as a college student, and this is my payroll account for my required internship. iba pala talaga feeling kapag alam mong bayad yung work na ginagawa mo haha super thankful and swerte na nakahanap ng paid internship kahit around 2 months lang need ko

wishing the best of luck din sa mga estudyanteng naghahanap ng internship! wag lang mawalan ng pag-asa sa rejections :)))

First time kong mag celebrate nang birthday alone. Nagising ako kanina mga bandang alas 3 nang madaling araw at di na nakatulog ulit. Andaming pumapasok sa isip ko lalo na sa career na at the age of 36 years old yung pakiramdam na napag iwanan na. I grow up i celebrating my birthday as normal day lang talaga. Then nagsulat lang ako sa journal ko to write those blessing to be grateful for most specially na malakas pa ang mga parents ko and doing my best i can provide for them. Just like nang mga batang 90's diyan wala pa din akong anak😅😆. Wag muna.

By the way, I'm living alone kasi nakipag sapalaran ako pumunta nang Davao City para mag apply as a call center agent. Manifesting maka kuha nang job offer this week.

I also read other sender's here na birthday niya rin. Just like you OP umiyak din ako and i think it's okay. Laban lang alam kong magiging maayos din ang lahat. Have a good health po sa ating kahat.

4 months palang ako sa work ko pero nagresign nako. Few weeks mula nung magwork ako dito naging sakitin ako. Walang benefits like hmo so mahirap magkasakit talaga. I worked as a clinic nurse with 13-14hrs shift everyday, no fixed day off. Pinaka matagal kong work siguro 20days straight duty 14hrs shift yun.

Matagal ko na gusto magresign dahil sa health related reasons na rin, ang hirap lang kasi no work, no pay kami. Kailangan pa hanapan ng araw na aligned sa sched ng ibang staff para di magclose yung clinic para makapag day off. Nagpasa ako ng resignation letter ko kahapon (8-31-26) kasi mukhang bibigay na rin yung katawan ko dahil sa work. Naisip ko lang din na hindi naman din sila ang sasagot sa pang hospital ko kapag may nangyari sakin kaya Im looking na ngayon ng work may benefits like health insurance. And tbh, nakakapagod na rin talaga maging nurse dito sa pilipinas. Overworked kana tapos underpaid pa. Samahan pa ng mga coworkers na bully. Im shifting career na rin kasi di ko na nakikita sarili ko sa field na to. It’s just sad na yung pangarap ko pala ang sisira sakin ngayon, physically and mentally.

4th work anniversary ko today... 🥰

Ang saya lang sa puso kasi hindi ko in-expect na aabot ako nang ganito katagal. Yung mga previous job ko kasi, kung hindi nagsara, nagbawas ng tao. Haha

I still remember the time that I'm questioning the Lord kung tama ba naging desicions ko sa life. Especially nung first 6 months ko kasi hirap na hirap ako mag-adjust sa lahat. 😭

Tas grabe, ngayon, apat na taon na pala yon lahat??? Sobrang dami nang nangyari; ups and downs, yet I'm still here.

I'm beyond grateful for His sustenance and favor, hindi lang sa work, pero sa maraming bagay... Sa contentment, sa blessing, sa lahat!

More years to come if loloobin pa ni Lord na mag-stay ako dito. 🥹

Hii! I'm currently sharing my experience my family isn't really an emotional one, not really strict or anything but they don't tolerate crying. But I am a cry baby.. when it comes to academics related I always cried infront of them as I couldn't hold back my tears.

It was my first time when I cried infromt of my dad because of my bullying/academic related problems. My mom called me a special child because of how ridiculous my mind is and she doesn't even support my dream college which is going to abroad and studying there.

I remember the reason I cried I couldn't hold back the pain so I hugged my dad because aside from bullying problems my mom called me things. Ever since then I always cry when it comes to academics like that time my uncle called me something tanga because my preference of college courses.

Also I cried yesterday kasi about a family problem which my sibling spent my tuition money without saying anything...

For months now kolang nalaman and I got pressured and I cried because why is everyone so interested in my tuition? Is it because it came from someone else and that is free. Isn't it enough? Shouldn't they ne thankful.

I'm sad kasi pinagkaka interesan nila ang tuition ko now that is gone I just cried. My dad talked to me and he said that if I kept crying while stuff like this happens I can't be suitable for a psychologist.

It was half my dream course and I was really hoping to purse it now i'm having second thoughts. Anyways I was really sad because I can't control my emotions I cried easily when it comes to my academic problems. :((

No experience in this sort of thing until yesterday. I had a brazillian wax and pain scale was like 7/10. Got me sweating at some parts that were really hurting. Sabi ni ate mataas daw pain tolerance ko. might do it again some time in the coming months.

I saw the price drop sa Beyond the Box and decided to buy an iPhone 17 Pro after 2 months of thinking from a second hand iPhone 13.

This is my first big adult purchase this year. More to come!

First time ko matulog sa parking lot. NLEX announced temp closure of San Fernando Pampanga Southbound entry. We decided to stay sa SM Pampanga and monitor the news.

So nagbook ako ng Angkas otw to work at late na. Wla syang binigay na hairnet pero okay lng kso pagkasuot ko nung helmet mabaho yung amoy so hineads upan ko kay kuya after ng trip. Pagkacheck ko sa phone ult eh nagleave sya ng gnyang message. 😒

​

first time I acted this way yes. as someone who loves the spirit of Christmas, every birthday I'm so happy because it’s my birthday + it's also the ber months (it's Christmas in the Philippines lewl)

but here I am now crying LITERALLY because I thought I wouldn’t make it to 25. I’ve been depressed since I was 13, I still feel the pain till now. I thought I wouldn't reach 25 because I was going to take my own life out of sadness.

WHAT THE HELL HERE I AM NOW. I WON. I'm so awesome. 🤞

happy birthday to me and merry Christmas!

edit: september is suicide prevention month. i really appreciate your kind words. we have to stay alive and get the happiness we deserve. whatever it is and whenever it is.

Pasintabi po sa mga kumakain dyan. Di ko na rin babanggitin yung branch pero ni-report ko na.

Na-stuck ako sa bahay, this weekend so nagcrave ako ng madaming iba ibang putahe. Napaisip ako kung pwede kaya solo dining sa buffet. 🤔

Na satisfy naman yung craving ko ng iba ibang putahe. 😂 Struggle lang nung umalis ako sa table para kumuha ng second serving, akala nung server umuwi na ako, nililigpit na yung table ko​​. Iniwan ko na lang yung payong ko sa table as a sign na andun pa ako nung kumuha ako ng dessert.

My first proper projector setup. Screen hides away and drops over the window when needed. Keeps the room looking like a normal living room until movie time. Picture is massive and I’m really happy with it so far.

First time kong mastuck grabeng traffic sa NLEX. Start ako travel 4 pm from Cubao papuntang Dau hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin nakakarating.

Tangina ng corrupt officials sana malunod kayo sa baha habang lumulutang luxury bags niyo. Tuyong tuyo na lalamunan ko, hindi ako umiinom ng tubig para di maihi kasi walang fucking CR. May regla ako - napkin ko 12 hrs ko na suot hindi ako makapagpalit. Wala pang internet and signal dito sa tulay. Mga pasahero dito gutom na. May mabubuting loob lang na naglalakad sa malayo at nagsasabay bumili ng biscuit.

Ina niyo talagang mga kurakot. May pasok pa ko bukas mga hayop para lang pantustos sa luho niyo.

EDIT: 4:30 am nakalagpas na kami baha then nakarating na ko sa dau 5 am, 13 hrs biyahe damnn 🫠. Meron din traffic southbound pero mas mahaba pa rin yung pila north bound. Thank u so much sa comments and support. Also hindi po ako nagmasturbate 😭 - off niyo auto translate. Ingat po kayo lahat

Sobrang tagal na rin sakin nung 2060 and laging medium to very low pag nag lalaro ng story games, Ngayon pwede na uli high at ready na for GTA 6 (Pag dumating sa PC 😅)

Side note: grabe na ung downgrade nung packaging nila, di as satisfying ung unboxing sa 4070 compared dun sa 2060

Since last day of the long weekend and hindi na umuulan. I decided to go out and watch a random movie.

I just picked this random movie within my desired time and ako lang mag-isa ang naka book. Ang saya with a slight of nakakatakot. Nakakatakot nung ang dilim na nga then nung lumingon ako may taong puti. Jusko guard lang pala 😭.

Nagugulat pa rin ako kapag gumagastos ako nang malaki para sa sarili ko.

Minsan, kahit kaya ko naman, may boses pa rin sa isip ko na nagsasabing, “Kailangan mo ba talaga ’yan?” “Tama pa ba ’to?” “Hindi ba mas okay kung i-save ko na lang?”

Siguro dahil ganito ako pinalaki.

Lumaki ako sa pamilyang kailangang magtipid. Hindi kami mayaman, pero hindi rin naman sobrang salat. Nakakaraos, pero may mga panahong kinakapos din.

Kaya bata pa lang ako, natuto na akong dumiskarte.

Noong elementary ako, kapag may project na stitching, ako na ang bahala sa buong klase. Ako na ang bibili ng materials, basta may dagdag na ₱5.00.

Noong high school, sinadya kong dalhin ang maja na gawa ng nanay ko para mapatikim at maibenta. Ayun, nakabenta ako ng 30 pieces.
Noong SHS, natuto akong mag-online selling hanggang sa pandemic.

Noong college, nahirapan kami dahil kailangan kong mag-dorm. Kaya nagtrabaho ako bilang assistant teacher sa Kumon habang nag-aaral.
Hindi ko alam noon, pero lahat pala ng maliliit na bagay na ’yon ang nagturo sa akin kung paano maging madiskarte, matatag, at higit sa lahat, kung gaano kahirap kumita ng pera.

Kaya siguro hanggang ngayon, may part sa akin na nahihirapang gumastos para sa sarili ko.
Kaya sobrang weird sa feeling na ngayon, kaya ko nang kumain sa Jollibee. Kaya ko nang pumunta sa restaurant na ₱400 pataas ang pagkain. Kaya ko nang bumili ng mga bagay na dati, tinitingnan ko lang.

Kasi dati, ₱20 lang ang baon ko.

At minsan, may natitira pang ₱10.

Kaya nitong nagpaayos ako ng buhok at gumastos ng ₱4,500, hindi ko ma-explain kung bakit naluluha ako.

Masaya ako.

Pero may guilt pa rin.

Siguro hindi dahil sayang ang ₱4,500.

Siguro dahil naaalala ko ’yung batang ako na kailangang isipin kung saan mapupunta ang bawat piso.

At ngayon, ako na ’yung taong kayang sabihin sa sarili niya na, “Okay lang. Pinaghirapan mo naman ’to.”

Habang sinusulat ko ’to, narealize ko…

Hindi pala ako nasa starting point pa.

Malayo pa ako sa mga pangarap ko, oo.
Pero malayo na ako sa kung saan ako nagsimula.

At maybe, deserve din ng batang ako na makitang hindi nasayang lahat ng pagod niya.

Na ’yung batang natutong dumiskarte para may dagdag na ₱5.00…

Siya rin pala ’yung magiging dahilan kung bakit isang araw, kaya ko nang gumastos ng ₱4,500 para sa sarili ko nang hindi kailangang humingi ng kahit kanino.

May guilt pa rin.

Pero this time, may saya na rin.

And I think that’s progress.

Sa 2027, goal ko makapag-start nang mag-ipon at makahanap ng trabaho na doble ng sahod ko ngayon.

Hindi ko pa alam kung gaano katagal bago ko marating lahat ng gusto ko.

Pero isang bagay ang sigurado ako:

Malayo pa. Pero malayo na. 🤍

I was thinking about it nung sumakay ako ng P2P last week like "gusto ko umupo dun sa unahan sa tabi ng driver" and voilà, wish granted! Ako kasi yung last na sumakay sa P2P so wala na akong choice. Medyo scary lang pero okay naman yung experience. 🥹

P.S. aagahan ko na next time 😭

dito ko nlang i post na ban kasi isa kong acc, convo namin yan ni mama nasa picture, sabi nya intindihin ko nalang daw kapatid nya na nasa abroad kasi walang anak di makaka relate, lagi kasi ako sinasabihan ng kapatid nya na wala silang maaasahan sakin, pabigat, at walang kwenta, i have screenshots ng convo nila sa mga sinabi nya sakin, and all because nanghingi ako ng 100 pesos para kumain sa karenderya last week, mind you that was only the second time nanghingi ako sa kaniya, ang una is nung may lagnat ako. anyways, bilog ang mundo, sana sumakses ako sa buhay, fourth year college na rin sana palarin at ipamukha sa kaniya ang sinabihan nyang walang mararating sa buhay

Lagi lang akong sale dati. Pinakamura. Medyo nakaluwag ngayon. At special edition pa, on the day of the release.

Eto daw 'yung isa sa food na you should never miss when you visit Naga City, Bicol Region
