Hello! I'm male po and in my 20's. Ask nga ako ng advice from you all. Graduate and currently doing further studies na pero kahit ganon, wala pa akong naka organic encounter. Meron akong mga natitipuhan pero dahil takot ako mareject at torpe ako, madalas hindi ko naaamin ang gusto kong sabihin. Isa pa, ayoko masira ang friendship or ayokong mapag usapan kung sakali.

Napansin ko naman, kapag nagkaka crush ako, mostly inaasar or bardagul ko sila and to the point na minsan, naiinis na sila. Tapos kapag aamin, parang pa joke din. Honestly, I want to change that style and feeling ko kaya hindi ako nagugustuhan e dahil din sa ganun ang style ko, even if i-try ko naman na maging mabait. Gusto ko sanang mas maging mabait sa pagtrato, tama bang maging mabait and gentle na agad? Baka maging friend lang din tingin sa akin since mabait lang naman.

Also, I don't know ah pero I feel like I'm still unaware sa style ng panliligaw. Anyway, I'd like to ask lang, any tips how I can fix it and also, ano ba gusto niyong style girls kapag magpapapansin kami sa inyo? I always start din kase na kilalanin muna bago sana manligaw, hindi ako bigla bigla na nagsasabing gusto ko agad agad tas gustong ligawan na hindi pa gaano kakilala ang tao, pero nag eend up na friends lang kami. Kaya want ko rin makaalis sa ganun. How to do it ba? Thank you sa idea!

I was talking to friends kase na nagi-Ilokano from other provinces and narinig ko na aside from malalim ang Ilokano ng mga taga Ilocos ay may tendency na i-judge nila ang ibang Iloko speakers/dialects like kung may maling pagka-Ilokano or hindi term is tatawanan ka nila and sasabihin na mali ang Ilokano mo. Is this true ba? In my experience na nagsasalita rin, they always ask kung taga saan ako dahil halatado sa accent ko and when they talk to me they always associate me sa place na instead of my name sasabihin nilang, "Ay si Ma'am/Sir taga-_".

Adda ba marecommend yo nga barber shop, salon, wenno private individual around Vigan or Bantay nga mayat style ti pukis da?

Hello! Mayroon ba dito na may Ibaloy blood na hindi na nagsasalita ng Ibaloy language or someone who wants to learn the language? Let's make a study group to practice the language sana para may kasamang mag aral and may kausap din. Nahihiya kase ako kung sa mismong native speakers tapos mali-mali Ibaloy ko

Hi everyone! I know this is probably not the usual topic here but I really hope someone can share their thoughts.

I'm a physician about to enter residency. Even though I have a medical degree, I have a deep love for indigenous studies and language preservation, particularly for one of the lesser documented indigenous groups. My long-term plan is to permanently settle in their community as a rural physician while pursuing an MA in Ethnohistory and eventually a PhD in Indigenous Studies at UP, both part-time.

I am leaning towards culture study specifically language preservation and language studies for these indigenous group.

Just three questions:

1. Is there actual demand in the Philippines for someone doing physician-level indigenous ethnohistory research? Or will the academic community see this combination as too scattered?

2. Are there realistic opportunities like grants, NCIP advisory roles, or NGO consultancy that could support someone doing this part-time while also practicing rural medicine?

3. Do you know of any Filipino physician-scholars or physician-anthropologists who have taken a similar path?

Honest and critical feedback is very much appreciated. Thank you!

I must say na torpe ako at takot ako na mareject, pero ayokong magstay as that lang. Can anyone give tips para hindi matakot na mareject and how do you handle them?
