As the title says, I hated spin when I started it. I hated how fast it was, the choreography, how intense it is and a lot more but fast forward to today, I'll be auditioning as an instructor to the gym I go to!

I'm in the middle of being an introvert and an extrovert and would really love advices on how to gather up all the courage in the world to give positive energy to every single one in the class. This is outside of my comfort zone and to tell you guys honestly, I'm still having doubts but I'm kicking that door and I'm just gonna do it.

Any tips? <3

Problem/Goal: I was given the opportunity to transfer and work sa Canada para dun magwork sa current company ko. Hirap na hirap ako magdecide ngayon kung kukunin ko yung offer.

Context: Hi! Ilang weeks na ko bothered na bothered since wine-weigh ko nang mabuti yung decisions ko in the next months. As the problem states, may opportunity kaming magmigrate to Canada ng wife ko now (all expenses paid sa processing, may aid sa paghanap ng titirhan, etc). Nahihirapan ako magdecide since dito sa pinas, I'm earning 6 digits na. Triny ko magresearch and sa taas din ng cost of living sa canada, baka same lang yung take home ko. Although different story kapag nagwork na yung wife ko dun since dalawa na kaming mag-eearn pero it'll take time since she'll start from scratch sa career niya.

I know, canada na yun. It should be a no brainer decision but ang hirap pala talaga when you're in front of the opportunity na. Maganda healthcare, government, surroundings, halos lahat dun. Sa hirap pa ng buhay dito sa pilipinas at kung gaano tayo ginagago ng gobyerno natin araw-araw, wala na dapat question whether magmigrate or hindi.

--------------------------

Nahihirapan akong iwan yung buhay namin dito. Parents ko matanda na. Kapatid ko may pamilya na din so ako yung parang laging kasama ng mga magulang ko. Maganda na din yung buhay namin dito. Simple lang, pero masaya kami. Nahihirapan akong iwan yung friends ko, yung routine na nakasanayan na namin. Even yung communities na we belong to, hirap kami iwan. To make matters worse, yung anak naming aso na baka maiwan (but isusunod namin to definitely hahaha pero the thought of it makes us sad)

Nakakatakot yung thought na baka may mangyari sa pamilya ko, tapos nasa malayong lugar kami. Buti sana kung asia lang at anytime pwede makauwi kaso nasa kabilang mundo yung pupuntahan namin. Ang hirap isipin na magst-start kami from scratch. Bagong friends, bagong environment, bagong routine, at andami pang iba.

Sabi nila, now's the best time to do it but right now ang hirap talaga magdecide. Both have its pros and cons.

Hey! I'm looking to pick up a few freelance projects.

My main work is building automations and internal business apps using Microsoft's Power Platform. I currently work as a Senior Power Platform Developer for a Canadian company, and I've also worked with businesses in healthcare, HR, retail, and other industries.

Some things I can help with:

• Power Apps
• Power Automate
• SharePoint
• Microsoft 365

• Presentation design (PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides)
• Document formatting & editing
• Virtual assistance
• Research & data entry
• Social media management

I'm Upwork Top Rated and pretty easy to work with. If I say I can do something, I'll make sure it gets done properly. If I don't think I'm the right person for the job, I'll tell you upfront instead of wasting your time.

I usually reply pretty quickly, and if it's something urgent, I can often start the same day.

If you're not sure whether your project is something I handle, just send me a DM. Worst case, I'll point you in the right direction.

Payment through PayPal.

Thanks!

Problem/Goal: My partner and I will be migrating to Canada soon, and my employer requires our marriage certificate. We’re considering getting legally married first through a PSA-accredited reverend because it’s much faster and we’re both very busy with work.
Context: We fully intend to have a Catholic church wedding before we leave for Canada. The reason we’re considering getting married legally first is because we urgently need the marriage certificate for employment and immigration requirements.
The officiant is legally authorized to solemnize marriages and process the paperwork. We’ll still be submitting the required documents and signing everything ourselves.
My concern is the church wedding afterward. I’ve heard different answers from different people. Some say couples who get married civilly first can still have a Catholic church wedding later, while others say it would only be considered a renewal of vows since they’re already legally married.
We’re both Catholic, and we really don’t want to lose the opportunity to have a proper Catholic church wedding. The civil marriage is only being considered because of the timeline and document requirements.
Previous Attempts: I tried researching online and asking people who had civil weddings first, but I’ve been getting conflicting answers.
Question: For Catholics who got married civilly first, were you still able to have a Catholic church wedding afterward? Was it treated as a wedding, convalidation, or simply a renewal of vows?
Thank you! 🙏
