Eto nanaman ako, installed Bumble again since using it back in 2023.
Wala din naman ako nabingwit, mga 1st and 2nd dates lang.

I decided to try again kasi gusto ko na talaga magkapartner.
Pero I find myself irritated by how draining the process of swiping for potential matches.

Every profile, nothing excites me anymore.
It's all the same thing on their profile.
A picture of them traveling, a thirst trap, a picture of their hobby and the self proclaimed description of being "loyal".

It is so draining.
Iniisip ko, take away all these superficial stuff like your vanity for example, idk I feel like a vast majority of us (and that includes me) really don't offer as much in a relationship.

We always keep on saying...take it easy on your parents because it's their first time being adults.

But it's my first time too T-T

Now that I am an adult...my family expects me to have it all figured out.

Have the career, consistently send out money to them, be the breadwinner, take on responsibilities they failed to do as parents to my siblings, support them especially when they get sick.

All of this while making sure I don't go insane or pabayaan sarili ko.

What about me?

It's my first time too.

I feel like I am not good enough and I feel like the years I have spent on my previous role was just a waste of time. Grabe talaga tong unemployment stage. It really makes you question yourself.

I have been updating my resume and linkedin profile and I am currently upskilling to be more viable to a role I want to pursue, pero grabe and hirap matuto ulit when you have been burnt out.
It is also so expensive, nag iinvest ako ng courses with certifications para much more credible.

I know I am whining a bit, and many people do have it worse.
But I just find everything so frustrating.

Gusto ko lang naman mamuhay ng mapayapa.
Lord tabang.
I am running out of funds to continue as an indipendent person that's also helping his family out.

Nasa bio nila Bible Verse tapos "God First"

Yet they display excessive vanities of themselves.

Promote gambling and exploitative get rich quick schemes.

Doesn't voice out societal issues.

Look I get we must hustle

But really? Putting that thing on your bio? For what?

Genuinely looking for friends.

I am alone and been diagnosed with depression.
Please be kind.

Don't you guys have much more important things to do?
May mga trabaho ba kayo?

Ang hirap hirap na nga ng panahon ngayon mas priority nyo pa ipagtanggol mga idolo nyo na wala namang pake sa inyo.

I just need a friend right now :(

28M Architecture Graduate, done with the internship but didn't really took the licensure exams due to the pandemic.

Was lucky enough to land a remote job during the pandemic designing small houses, got the hang of it, enjoyed it for a while. It paid the bills.

I only planned this job to be a temporary one, as a stepping stone towards being licensed and I had planned to job hop to find my niche in the industry or even change careers.

But everytime I am trying to execute this plan something happens.
-Father dying during the pandemic
-Mom getting sick
-Fire burned our house
-Had to move to a new city

Fast forward to today and it has already been 7 years staying in this company.
It wasn't smooth sailing to say the least.
There were times that I almost got fired for underperforming but work still kept going.

I HATE IT NOW

I hate the job with all of my being, it's remote so I never really had built any real connections/networking and I may have overstayed and never really grew as a professional.

Cut to just last month, I got laid off due to the company being severly hit by the global crisis.

And I have no fricking idea what to do.
I don't want to continue my profession anymore. I tried upskilling on new softwares but it is as if my mind rejects learning. Burnt out is real!

Been sending out applications like crazy...over 80 now.
Rejection after rejection except for one...a role in customer service.

Being unemployed sucks and losing the sparks sucks even harder
Might as well take it to keep myself afloat.
5 years of Architecture school just to end up answering calls...f*ck it let's just do it.
Wish me luck.

Currently taking Revit certification from an ATC.

Also sent out applications din to different companies.

So far wala pang interview.

I just find it odd din kasi I have connections in LinkedIn and mga ka batch ko from college na nakasecure ka agad ng BIM specialist position especially sa MDC without revit experience.

Sana may makahelp.

I am a fast learner.

I just got layed off from work and have been job hunting for the past month.

I am so stressed about it but even more so I got stressed at the fact that I am seeing other candidates have all of these titles in their name and it left me feeling miserable.

I felt suddenly pressured in trying to keep up with the job market and be "marketable" by achieving all of these titles.

Ayoko ng ganito.

In my own perfect little world I only just want to find a job I can clock in and clock out.
I don't want to constantly chase after titles and job positions.
I just want a decent job that I can properly do and leave after to enjoy life while I am still living.
I don't want to go above and beyond and do overtimes that are only gonna be rewarded by pizzas and doughnuts.
I don't want to be constantly pressured in licking my managers ass just so they can approve my leaves and suck up to them to be treated nicely.
I don't want to engage in toxic workplace gossip.
May kabit yung ka team ko? Wala akong pake.
I don't want titles before or after my name.
I don't want to climb the ladder.

I just want a job that's just a job...Isn't that too much to ask for?
I just want a peaceful job.

Been trying to achieve my dream profession for over a decade now pero sadyang di sumasangayon buhay satin.

Tuwing may chance na makakahinga ng maluwag, tila may aksidenteng magaganap at magkakaproblema sa financial.

Pagod na ako.
Yan reality ko.
I began hating my profession.

Eto ako at mag shishift na ng career.
Di ko alam if ireregret ko to
Pero sadyang di ko pa kaya at kailangan maging practical sa panahon ngayon.
Di naman tayo pinanganak ng mayaman na may susuporta at sasalo satin.

Nakakaiyak isipin pero I must say goodbye muna to my dream profession.

Nagmamakaawa ako sa inyo. Isipin nyo mga anak nyo.
Please, pagisipan nyo kung gusto nyong magkaanak.

Hirap na hirap ako ngayon as a breadwinner.

Mama at papa ko wala silang trabaho for the longest time. Nanganak ng nanganak lang sila.
Wala silang health insurance or any plan for retirement.

Hirap na hirap ako ngayon maging breadwinner.
Umaasa magulang ko na ako magpapaaral sa kapatid ko.

Ngayon may sakit si mama at hirap na hirap ako.
Huhuhu di ko alam anong gagawin or pano ko itatawid mga gagastosin.

I am really just starting out my career. First time ko maging adult pero ang sobrang bigat.
Dami kong responsabilidad agad.

Lord, hanggang dito lang ba buhay ko?
Nakakaiyak.
Pagod na ako
Ayoko na

Ang stressful mag job hunt...nearing 30s na ako pero I can't seem to figure out what I want pa careerwise.

Though I have a clear idea but its just feels like I am running out of time.

All I know is I need a job right now to not starve and be homeless.

Payakap...gusto ko nalang ulit maging bata.
The pressure is overwhelming.
