Meanwhile Baguio cancels cosplay & horror events while openly normalizing graphic depictions of torture, death, & eternal damnation in public spaces. 😒
Like many other pinoys I grew up in a dysfunctional family dynamics.
As a background, 8 kami mag kakapatid from a boomer parents. Growing up pinalaki kami in an authoritarian and religious style household (wording pa ng Tatay ko, obey before complain 🙃) sobrang dami na issue noon na na realize ko lang ngayon as adult na traumatizing pala kaya sira pagkatao ko ngayon. Out of those mamy problems isa dito ang favoratism.
Growing up bi-nox nila kami sa ideal image at role na in-assign samen at as usual, heavily favored and mga lalaking kapatid compared sa babae, mga babae expected na mag serve (household chores dapat matic na) magbigay, magpakumbaba, at hangga ngayon kami expected maging caretaker at breadwinner. Ngayon adult na, mas nagiging aware na ako (and some of my Ate) na may mali sa family systems namen. And nag ttry kami i-call out ang mga problematic behaviors at i-communicate sana mga issues para di lumalala mga resentmens, and guess what? Kami ang branded as "disrespectful", "mapagmalaki", "masyadong magaling" ...
Fast forward sa 1 issue about sa kapatid kong bunsong lalaki (i.e. ang golden child nila at prodigal son 🙄), sa lahat ng kapatid ko, ito ang sobrang spoiled sa parents ko especially sa nanay ko, na parang wala syang ginawang mali pero sya talaga ang totoong troublemaker, parang pinalaking sadya na maging narcissist. As a background sa issue #1 4yrs ago or so, nalaman naming gumagamit ng "🌿" ang kapatid kong to, at sobrang nagalit kaming magkakapatid dahil di namin lubos maisip bakit nya ginawa ito, ilang besis namin syang pinag sabihan na illegal ito at masama, pero di parin tumigil, ilang beses namin tinry i resolve ito nang hindi nalalaman ng parents ko, pero end up nung nalaman nila, kami pa ang sinisi bakit daw nagkaganun at di namin sinabi. Sa paningin nila sobrang kawawa ng kapatid ko , at deserve pa ng 2nd chance (ni hindi kami kinomusta naging epekto ng mental trauma nang issue ito ne tiniis namen for many years) . Ang gago no? Sya na nga ang may ginawa, kami pa non-favorites ang minasama sa mata ng parents ko
Fast forward again to present, same kapatid na bunsong lalaki (golden child) naka bukod na sya sa bahay (punyeta, finally dba?) at may asawa na, so kaming 3 daughters naiwan sa parents tumataguyod sa living expenses nila (🙄🙃) kami na not-favorite children ha, si golden child walang contribution zero. Believe me gustong gusto na namin lumayas dito. Ang hirap lang ng economy ngayon and all.
Yung golden child ngayon, may 3 na aso, tapos nag decide kumuha ulit na 2 additional puppies, so in total 5 na aso na nya. Turns out, Hindi nya pala kaya alagaan ang 5 na aso, and guess what? Solution nya, ibigay yung isang puppy sa parents ko (and by default sa household na kami ang tumataguyod) ng hindi kami kinokunsulta kung ok lang ba. Ang dami namin problems past and existing na tina try pa namin mag recover mentally and financially and now gusto nya nanaman kami bigyan ng problema 😤.
So now, sinabihan ko sya in a nice way na konting consideration naman samen dito - lifelong commitment and pag aaso kasi for us, hindi lang yan libangan, living creature yan na may needs (alam namin kasi 3 senior dogs ang tinaguyod namin from covid to 2025 na namatay), di namin kaya i shoulder na yun lalo nat nagmahal medicines pa ng parents at overall household expense. In the end, di sya nakinig or wala syang pake at tinuloy parin nyang ibigay sa nanay ko.
And now, nanay ko kinulong yung months old puppy sa labas ng bahay, 1wk na sya ganyan - ang liit at ang payat, payat, binibigyan ng pagkain pero dun lang sya sobrang kawawa. So ako ngayon tinanong ko nanay ko, kelan kukunin ni Golden child yung aso nya. Naging sobrang hostile at aggresive ng reaction ng nanay ko, sinabi nya na hayaan lang daw syang nakakulong jan, bakit naiistorbo kaba sa kwarto? Tapos kesyo ang dami naman daw naka kulong jan. As in ang argument namin is "kawawa yung aso kung balak nyong forever naka kulong" ang argument nya "kawawa daw si golden child kasi di nya kaya alagaan"...
Para saken animal abuse ang ganun, napaka performative and fake pag nakakakita silang videos ng dogs na kawawa e ganun din pala balak nilang gawin dun sa tuta. Sa totoo lang naaawa yung nanay ko sa golden child (kasi daw boohoo di nya kaya pala ang 5 na aso) kesa sa naawa sa tuta na kinuha.
And now, ako nanaman ang masama at kalaban dito sa bahay dahil sinabihan ko sila at cinoconvince na ibalik ang aso, hindi nila kami kinakausap ngayon. Parang endless cycle na laging ganito, tina try ko makiusap ng maayos, pero sadyang by default minamasama nila agad. Nakakapagod
Paano akong di mamabaliw sa ganitong sitwasyon, parang never ending nalang ang problema (mostly dahil sa perwisyo ng kapatid ko at sa napaka narcissist na parents ko) ... Dahil nito, di ko maasikaso mga sarili kong problema, sobrang depressed at anxious ako minsan naiisip ko gusto ko nalang mamatay.
Tulong, paano. 😭😖
I love love Joocyee products ever since I discovered this brand. It's a Cbeauty brand that has a shop in Shopee (but oddly they rarely update because they're newer lines since last year are not sold there)
Among all the lip products I have, I could say Joocyee is the only one that made true of the promise - nalipcare na rin sya after wearing. Iba kasi sasabihin may hyaluronic, may vitamin something and butter etc but still so drying after wear
Especially for the Lasting Glossy Rouge one (first pic) when they say your lips will be hydrated after using, totoong hydrated after! parang pede na sya semi-daytime lip mask.
For reference I have :
Lasting Glossy Rouge (clickpen) in the shade:
- Flat White
- Naked Tea
- Crushed Chestnut
- Vintage Brown 1990
*does not leave a stain or tint - i highly recommend this one, it's my favorite among all the products I have of Joocyee. Para syang lip mask but not heavy on the lips. After using and wiping it off, parang super healthy ng lips.
Velvet Rouge in the shade:
- Vintage Brown 1990
*Can also be used as blush!
Glazed Lipgloss - Spring Oolong (light gloss, light tint
Fluffy Matte Lipgloss - Milk Salt Peanut (not really a gloss, matte sya, vey silicone like texture)
Glazed Rouge Upgraded - Caramel Wish
Lucent Glazed Rouge ultra light - Apricot
Glazed Rouge Water Gloss - Blooming to the Brim
Glazed Rouge 3D Effect - Oat Milk (this one is heavier and thicker, ok to so overly dry lips, para syang daytime lip mask din)
I know their names can be confusing really, but the products are all so so good!
I also have the multipurpose cream in the shade Gray Pink and Spring Rose - haven't taken a picture yet. But they also work well for lips, cheeks and eyelids
I also have the Lookbook palette - Cozy Sunday, it's also good but I find the colors more suited for fair and light skin, not so much for morena skintones, though I like the sheer blush with subtle shimmer. And medjo mahal, so you van maybe skip this one kasi we have more affordable ones na local brands.
Overall, I love my local brands EB, Vice, Issy, BLK but I realized this one Cbeauty brand checks the list for fulfilling it's promise na hydrating on the lips! And it's my favorite one for lip products.
On a side note, I find some Kbrands kinda overrated, like Romand, their lip products di ganun ka long lasting, quite drying and nasisira agad! Even if I'm careful using the products. So I stick with local brands and Joocyee (if I want to treat myself)
Oh! And I forgot, Joocyee has a sister company, Judydoll which I also love love some of their items. Maybe I'll post on another time, this one are more affordable thant Joocyee.
I used to be a no-makeup person, because before sa busy and no budget, but now late bloomer and trying to catch up, I love arts and I love swatching them on my arms even if I don't use them all that often, I'm enjoying comparing different colors, with different textures of products especially for blushes and lip products.
Edit: as a background, I used to have very dry and cracked lips, I started taking care of my lips, Luxe Organix Lip Mask every night, walang mintis, wash off the next day. So nag improve lips ko greatly, may days na ok lips ko may days din na may drying dn kasi dehydrated. Pero yun I tend to reach for my Joocyee lip products if I want to wear something na I know will not atleast worsen the condition also looks good. I noticed most of their products walang stain or tint, baka yun yung isang factor na nakaka dry. For products na may stain I recommend yung Judydoll dual flash watery lippie na Gen2, but for some reason nawala sa shopee store nila.
Hi everyone! I'm kindly asking for recommendations for movies, I absolutely love natural disaster films like The Impossible, Deep Impact, Dante's Peak, Contagion, The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Day After Tomorrow
I have on my list to watch The Wave, The Quake, Unthinkable, Greenland
But I feel like I've watched almost all the popular mainstream ones from Hollywood,
I recently watched:
- Arrival (alien?)
- Oxygen (French film)
- Quiet Place Day One or was it zero?
- Don't Look Up
Do you guys have any other suggestions, movies perfect for moody gloomy weather that is usually a natural calamity, apocalyptic, or mystery thriller. I would love international ones too (except Korean films - I recently watched The Great Flood, gosh it's such a scam movie - i was waiting for a disaster film but got an AI shit movie lol) , I'm just having a hard time sorting through them.
Thank you so much!
I love the previous season adaptations and when I read the manga it's like it was almost adapted identically but with dumpster battle I noticed a lot of missing scenes including the flashback story of Grandpa Ukai and Coach Neko
I so so wish they would remake the upcoming Karasuno vs Kamomedai to full season series, it's not fair that Kamomedai will have little screen time, not much time to get to know them. Unlike with Nekoma they were introduced early on since they are their friendly rival from the start.
But Kamomedai I wish they simmer the story more so we can root for characters (of course I always root for Karasuno) but I just love that Furudate wrote wonderful and compelling characters in Haikyuu
I can say the only character I dislike is the snake captain in that Snake team Nohebi haha
Other than that i love all the characters!
Our country is about to have data center and it doesn't help that the government is corrupt to the bones. We have rich natural resources yet remain one of the neverending developing or 3rd world country
It sucks that only a few individual benefit from all this. It's exhausting living in this world, and even other species are affected because of humans ughh
