may nabasa ako on twitter, namali yung send sa kaniya multiple times from a BANK ACCOUNT. pag bank account kasi hindi mo machecheck kung magkalapit lang yung gcash numbers niyo kaya sila nawrowrong send. tapos multiple times sa magkalayong occassions pa.

if ibabalik niyo yung pera, don’t send it to another bank account. ask for a gcash number and check kung magkalapit ba talaga yung number niyo, or best way is to escalate it kay gcash to do a reversal. marereverse yan as long as ikaw din as the account owner ay mag reach out kay gcash and magreport na may nareceive kang funds.

yun lang, tumatalino na kasi mga scammer ngayon na gumagamit ng midman.

i’ve been to several “parties” and clubs with people from dlsu through a mutual friend (best friend ko since shs), and every time i talk to any of them, both girlies and guys, i come to the same conclusion. walang substance kausap.

i eventually met a guy through one of these events, and he’s super attractive. we ended up talking and going out for meals since our dorms are kind of close pero wala talaga, most of the time i’m bored to death. maybe because there’s a mismatch of realities, pero all he talks about having different cars for different occasions, i mean who would be interested in that? 🫥

though my biggest concern is my mutual. before dlsu ang saya niya pa kasama, nabibiro pa sya. nowadays, naging bato na si atecco. and honestly, our conversations have become superficial. like, bring back my friend please?

haha di naman to rant, a fun, light story lang about my experiences. dlsu vloggers don’t come for me ✋🏼

ewan ko ba ba’t laging may napapadaan sa feed ko na rants about gcash being a “scam” tapos yung story pala is nag auto deduct dahil sa appstore. yung isang post proud pa siya na vinerbally abuse niya yung nakausap niyang CS ng gcash because scam daw sila and they charged her account. yun pala nakalink sa roblox ng anak niya, haha dasurv.

why would people even give their children access to their digital banks? reeks irresponsibility and stupidity atp.

tangina, kung sa US ang dahilan ng perpetrators sa mga ganitong situations ay totoong behavioral crisis, dito sa pilipinas ang sakit ng kabataan ay magpaka “cool” at umepal para “magsuspend”. recently lang may school sh**ting threat sa school ng younger sister ko. ito na ba yung uso ngayon? ginawang trend eh? kinacool niyo yan? man these kids make me fucking sick.

saw an old tiktok featuring movie stars from the early 90s — 2000s, and damn these celebrities were so uniquely stunning. now, it’s like everyone has a blueprint face and looks the same, it’s a little uncanny. still attractive but also so common?

ofw po ang papa ko, and ayun na nga dahil medyo malaki yung sweldo niya as an engineer lapitin siya ng mga babae, at eventually nakaanak siya sa labas. this really broke my mother’s heart, to the point na umalis siya sa work niya sa government kasi sinusugod siya ng babae doon at nag eeskandalo. lumipat din kami ng bahay dahil sa kahihiyan. both professionals kasi yung parents ko kaya it was really shameful nung kumalat yung news sa lugar namin.

sobrang lala kasi nung babae. tahimik lang naman si mommy, pero nagmakaawa siya noon na wag sana sirain yung pamilya namin as babae to babae. pero hindi talaga, pinagpatuloy hanggat nagbunga.

naghiwalay yung parents ko and it broke our family and their marriage, mga seven years din silang naghiwalay, pero my mom never found a new partner and just focused on her career. yung dad ko naman, present pa din kahit wala na sila. spoiled pa din ako sa kaniya, nag invest pa din siya sa future ko at pinag aaral ako sa prestihiyosong unibersidad but his affair broke our family. it’s very conflicting kasi he was always good to me. he gave me everything i needed except for a happy family. kaya yung galit ko sa kaniya hindi din nagtagal at napatawad ko siya.

my parents are back together, pero not really romantically. parang as business partners nalang. hindi siya napatawad ng mom ko fully, pero they agreed nalang to retire together since both naman sila hindi nakahanap ng partner to stay with.

here comes the catch, biglang nag reach out yung kapatid ko sa labas. parang nabuksan ang gates ng trauma ko. i know hindi niya kasalanan, pero hindi ko talaga siya kayang tanggapin no matter how much i try to convince myself. sobra kasi yung dinanas namin sa nanay niya. hindi lang kabit, pero ang sasakit ng sinasabi niya kay mommy noon.

a few months ago, i had someone send me around 6k accidentally. may mga nabasa kasi ako dito na wag i-entertain due to the possibility of scam, pero what i did was i replied to the sender giving them authority to file for a reversal. i also told them na they can use our messages (with me stating that i give them authority for a reversal) as proof/attachments for the gcash cs. i also reassured them that i’ll keep the money intact sa account ko para smooth ang reversal ng funds pag nagrespond na si gcash.

a few days later? nagmessage si sender, nareverse na yung transaction with gcash’s help.

why i did this instead of sending it myself? kasi ayoko maging responsible if scammer yung sender in the first place. by letting gcash handle it, and reversing it themselves, documented na kung ano yung nangyari sa pera at labas na ako doon.

why i’m sharing this? kasi uso na ngayon ang money mule scams. i have a friend who handled a case like this (jewellery/gold scam) tapos dineny ni scammer na sa kaniya daw yung gcash na pinasukan ng pera. turns out sa tindahan pala siya nagpapa cash out. kung sino kasi ang recipient ng pera, sila talaga ang hahabulin pag may scam na naganap. kaya beware post nalang din sa mahilig magpacash in and cash out business diyan.

andami kasing mangmang ang di nakakaintindi sa scope at content ng batas. kumbaga malnourished sa brain cells pero ang lalaki ng bunganga. kaya ngayon lagi yun ginagamit against him to spread propaganda, as seen with the recent school shooting incident.

or big 3, haha. anyways i’m aware that experiences vary, to each their own, but this post is based on my own observations only, and i’m not generalizing since this can be a total opposite for others.

worked for several companies na, and napansin ko lang na there’s a difference in professionalism amongst these graduates. not particularly in skills, but attitude, which is still a big deal in the workplace tbh.

the non-big 4 grads that i know often feel too comfortable. for example, i have a colleague na one week ko pa lang siya kilala and i already know her salary (yes, exact amount kasi she constantly complains about it), which employees she doesn’t get along with, and her criticisms (with profanities) towards our workplace. not because i asked, but because she spilled it unwarranted over lunch. this is just one experience of the many which i consider unprofessional and honestly? unethical.

big 3 grads naman, aircon humor, sure. arrogant? every now and then. but not really unprofessional. they’ll engage and blend in with group conversations but also keep the nitty gritty details to themselves. more of listeners than talkers. there’s also a difference in work ethic, but that’s a story for another day.

anyways, that’s just my perspective so far. i’m sure it varies, and in the future, i might even encounter a situation that’ll completely change my mind.

starting this off with the fact that i call for justice and accountability for the two lives lost in baler that day.

HOWEVER, these headlines from several news outlets such as “ateneo drowning not an accident from the CIDG” non-verbatim, purposefully frames it in a way that these two guys were murdered by their team mates and coaches in a hazing. yes, you read that right, because upon reading the comments on these articles ang daming nagsasabi na “sinabi ko na nga ba, they were murdered or hazed during initiation rights”.

based on the current facts this is NOT the case at all. “not an accident” doesn’t mean there was foul play involved. kawawa yung mga players, especially the other two survivors that are catching the heat and hate online dahil sa mga maliciously framed articles na to. yes, panagutin ang admu and their admins as an institution, but it’s unfair to extend this anger and frustration towards the other athletes who were also victims of this case.

tangina talaga ng reading comprehension ng mga pilipino, di naman ibig sabihin na “not an accident” equivalent to foul play na agad. lahat nalang eh no, just to fit their narrative. peste. kawawa yung mga athletes na nagtiwala lang din naman sa coaches nila, ngayon imbis na makareceive sila ng support from the community after such a horrible, traumatic tragedy, sila pa ang nakakareceive ng online hate. kasalanan to ng admu admins for their inaction, news outlets, at lahat ng vloggers or content creator na nagfraframe nito as “poor vs rich” and “luzon vs vismin”. leche kayo at salot sa lipunan, alam niyo na ngang ang daming mangmang dito na assuming agad, ang hilig niyo pa mag insinuate and promote ng fake news!

don’t get me wrong, i know the potential of our film industry which is why it’s disappointing na most of the shows out there have only been written to accommodate ads, and be milked to the max by these networks. 100-200 episodes? lawd. minsan yung mga plot twist wala na talagang sense and all for the sake of shock value and extending the show pag pumatok. pati yung mga kdrama na ginagawan natin ng philippine version, yung orig 16 episodes pero yung adaptation natin 65 eps. ngek. of course may mga quality talaga out there like pulang araw and maria clara at ibarra, but even those could’ve been done by 16-24 episodes max.

i think this is why our tv shows and dramas aren’t globally recognized too, i mean sa episode number count pa lang tatamarin ka na simulan haha. tapos recycled pa lagi puro kabit kabit and secret children. may mamatay na character tapos yun pala sikretong naresurrect and nabuhay potcha hahaha.

maybe i’m projecting but as a woman trying to get pregnant myself— and struggling— it must be frustrating to deal with pregnancy rumors while obviously trying for a baby. i know most of these people mean well and manifest for it to happen, but personally, it rubs salt to the wound, and is just insensitive in general. nakakapressure and dagdag anxiety ang mga false assumptions regarding fertility and reproductive heath.

Dahil maraming news ng sunog ngayon, napagkwentuhan siya dito sa bahay. Sabi ng ibang fam members ko na ang mga squatters area daw minsan sinasadyang sunugin or inaarson para mapaalis yung mga illegal na informal settlers. Tapos yung brother ko naawa sa mga nasunugan, di daw tama yun. Eto namang pinsan namin kwinento niya yung “kalakaran”, na minsan daw nag ooffer yung government ng free housing for informal settlers pero binebenta or pinaparentahan lang din nila tapos bumabalik din sila sa lugar kung saan sila nags-squat? Is this true? And bakit kaya?

Hahaha naalala ko lang yung ka-work mate ko na nagpanggap na buntis para maka avail ng paid maternity leave galing sa boss namin. For context, logistics start up kami, and yung boss namin fil-am. Born and raised in the US pero dito na nag aral from HS to college kaya fluent din siya and familiar sa culture natin. Pero yun nga lang this made him and his girlfriend vulnerable to scams and budol.

So si ate nagstart siya samin na di niya pinapaalam na buntis siya last November. Nung nalaman ni ssob nabigla siya pero after talking to his partner (gf) nakonsensya and sabi niya okay lang, and even offered maternity leave benefits kahit wala pang 2 weeks sa work nung umamin si ate scammer na preggy pala cya.

After niya umamin, mga 3 days pa lang nag ask na siya agad for a few days off, hanggat nabigla na lang kami lahat sa office na nagfile na siya ng maternity leave niya sa HR officer namin. Syempre inintindi (kahit understaffed kami) lalo na commute daw cya everyday and maselan daw pagbubuntis niya. Sa sobrang tiwala ng boss namin di na cya nagrequest ng mga documentation or medical records at pumayag na mag paid maternity leave si ate through text message lang (Tangina maling mali talaga to at negligent si boss sa part na to pero mabait lang talaga siya kaya natake advantage). Botchog din kasi si ate scammer kaya maniniwala ka talaga na buntis hahaha.

So for the next 2 months kahit unstable at hikaos pa ang kumpanya, pinipilit ng boss namin na masweldohan siya. Mind you, sa puntong to nasa kangkungan na talaga ang company at malapit na mabankrupt pero dahil sa awa ng boss namin sa kanya kahit wala pa siyang 3 weeks noong nag maternity leave siya (And lied about her medical during job application, kasi di niya dineclare na “pregnant” siya), talagang nilalaban ng boss namin na masweldohan cya.

Tapos medyo malaki ang sweldo niya btw for a fresh grad, ranging from 35-40k with allowances (oo na, kachika ko kasi yung HR officer namin after maganap lahat ng to’ kaya ko alam).

Then one afternoon, inapproach ako ni boss and tinatanong kung friends daw ba kami sa socmed ni ate scammer, which is hindi. Tapos doon niya na nakwento na he found out di daw talaga buntis at nagdo-double work pala sa ibang company habang “naka paid maternity leave”. Nag post kasi siya sa story niya ng pics of her partying tapos sa bago niyang office, and although na-hide niya kay boss, tanga si ate at nakalimutan i-hide from the gf.

Ebarg sobrang kupal talaga ng mga ganitong tao, nakakapanira ng image sa lahat actually. Lumaban ka ng patas huy! Kapal ng mukha nitong scammer na to ininvite pa ako maging ninang sa anak niya at hiningian ng balato para daw sa binyag kahit di ako makaka-attend okay lang basta may angpao or gcash para sa future inaanak ko. Hahaha e wala pa ngang isang buwan ko siya kilala at that time, kaya matic reject.
