You will always be missed my baby Cookies along with your sister and children (context: lost my 10 babies way back in April due to parvo). I hope that you guys are now happy and no longer feel pain.
I've been unemployed since Feb pa, nag-resign ako ng walang back-up plan, may konting ipon pero naubos din. Reason bakit ako nag-resign is lagi akong nagkakasakit every month, sobrang lagas ng buhok ko at grabe ang epekto ng trabaho ko sa mental health ko to the point na minsan gusto ko tumalon sa jeep kapag papasok ako sa work. Btw, I am a call center agent dati, akala ko puyat lang kalaban ko, dami palang risk. Isama mo pa yung toxic na environment at mga bastos mo na katrabaho. Kaya kahit na di naman talaga tama na mag resign nang walang back up plan, napilitan ako kase baka ako ang maubos. Balak ko magpahinga that time ng 1-2 months saka ako sasabak ulit sa laban. Sa two months ko na pahinga, nag a-upskill na rin ako, inaaral ko ang dapat aralin para maging VA rin ako, bago ako mag resign, bumili rin ako ng laptop at ibang necessities para trabaho at to show up na lang ang problema ko.
Pero nung last week ng April, grabe dumaan na problema sa amin. I am a furmom of 12 cats pero dahil sa parvo, namatay yung 10 pusa ko. With a span of 10 days, kinuha sila sa amin. They are my babies at masasabi kong isa sila sa mga support system ko. Grabe, ang laki ng nawalang parte sa buhay ko. I have so many plans for them, I dream of building a catio and giving them a better life pero dahil sa parvo, lahat ng yon, nawala lahat. I am lost and still lost pa rin ngayon. I am still grieving, but I need to continue kase wala akong choice. Because of their medication, nagkautang ako. And dahil sa wala pa akong work, umuutang ako para may pambayad sa utang hanggang sa lumobo yung utang ko.
Sa 200+ job application ko, masasabi ko naman na napapansin ng recruiter yung application ko. Naiinvite ako sa interviews pero dahil sa sobrang stress, lungkot ko, minsan di na ako nag sho-show up. Wini-withdraw ko yung interview invites, napapangunahan ako ng self-sabotage, anxiety ko. Grabe ang regrets ko, ang dami kong sinayang na opportunities. I also reminded myself na it's better for me to show up, it's not about perfection naman pero minsan di ko malabanan yung utak ko. Grabe, ang hirap pala kapag sarili mo ang kalaban mo. Self VS. Self.
Pero yun nga, ang hiling ko is sana makahanap na rin ako ng work. Sana di na ako pangunahan ng anxiety at self-sabotage ko. Sana magka client na ako para may pagkabusyhan na ako at para di ko na masyado naiisip yung sakit ng pagkawala nila.
Pa-rant lang po. Long post ahead, so sorry po agad. Gusto ko lang ilabas baka maging okay rin ako. Hehe :)

Magbibigay pa ng advice yun pa yung mapapasama pa yung ibang tao. Kaka "Fake it till you make it" niyo na yan, 'di ko na lang alam kung saan kayo pupulutin.
Sa mga beginners sa VA, mas okay na maging honest tayo sa skills at experience natin. Oo, gusto natin ng wfh at malaking kita pero di pindot-pindot lang ang gagawin mo. Ipapahiya mo lang sarili mo at baka masira pa credibility mo in the long run.
Hello to my fellow job applicants. What are your thoughts on companies conducting video introductions or AI interviews before moving candidates to an initial or human interview?
I’ve been applying for jobs for the past three months, and most of the invitations I’ve received are from companies using AI or requiring video interviews. I’m honestly not very comfortable with it for several reasons.
First, it feels somewhat impersonal and, at times, disrespectful to go through an automated process before speaking with an actual person. Second, as a hijabi, I sometimes worry that even if I’m fully qualified for the role, employers or hiring managers may unconsciously screen me out because I’m Muslim. Third, I’m concerned about privacy and how my facial data or video recordings might be stored or potentially used in AI systems.
I’m curious if others feel the same way or have had similar experiences.

It hasn’t been a week nang mawala sa akin ang baby Galaxy ko because of kidney failure. Sa ngayon sinundan naman siya ng iba ko pang mga anak na sina baby Natnat, Snowball and Cassie because of parvo naman. Sobrang sakit mawala sila, knowing na ang sigla lang nila nitong mga nakaraang araw. Di ko alam, paano pa ako magpapatuloy nito.
