Lowkey fantasy ko talaga yung mag-disappear once in a while. Not in a bad way ha. More like pumunta sa ibang city, use a different name (kapag hindi naman kailangan ng ID 😅), tapos live a completely different life for a bit. Meet new people, make new friends, then go home like nothing happened. Hahaha.

Actually, ginawa ko na siya last year. Nag-off lang ako ng phone for 2 days, then nagpunta sa North. Ang ending? Nag-report na pala sa barangay at police station kasi may best friend yung kuya ko na pulis.

Ang original plan ko sana was to disappear for a year, pero naging one-week vacation na lang. Hahaha. Medyo na-realize ko rin na senior na parents ko, so syempre mag-aalala talaga sila.

Next time, if ever gawin ko ulit yung fantasy ko, magpapaalam na lang ako. At least with consent na.

For context lang: Wala po akong pinagdadaanan. Ganito lang talaga ako. Minsan may urge akong subukan yung isang bagay. Once nagawa ko na, okay na ako. Tapos hanap ulit ng panibagong adventure. 😅

Hi, gusto ko lang po sana mag ask like mga school recommendations. Gusto ko talaga mag law school pero parang lagging may hindrance. Planning na sana this July but naudlot nanaman. So I'm taking my time to prepare, may recommended ba kayo na school na they accept even on second semester? Kahit di related background ko sa law balak ko talaga mag enroll. Hoping for any tips and recommendation po. 😅

Yesterday, we went out for dinner to celebrate my older brother's birthday. Pagpasok namin sa restaurant, halos wala pang tao kahit past 5 PM na. Sabi namin, baka maaga pa lang talaga.

Pero after a few minutes, bigla na lang dumami ang customers. Hindi pa paisa-isa or by pair—talagang groups din ang nagsipasukan, halos same size pa ng family namin (we're 10). Ang bilis mapuno ng place.

Then dumating na yung food, kwentuhan, tawanan, at ang ingay namin sa table. Biglang nahulog yung tinidor ko. Tinry pulutin ng ate ko, pero nahulog ulit. Tapos pabiro niyang sinabi, "Ay, may darating na dalawang lalaki."

Tawang-tawa kaming lahat kasi alam niyo yung mga pamahiin na ganun. Pero eto yung plot twist... after a few minutes, may pumasok ngang dalawang lalaki sa restaurant.

Nagkatinginan na lang kami at nagbulungan, "Hoy, bakit nagkatotoo?" HAHAHA. Ang random pero sobrang funny ng timing. Wala lang, gusto ko lang i-share. 😂

Hi! I would like to ask for some tips since medyo new pa lang ako sa remote work. I started working remotely last September 2025, and I was recently hired again as an Administrative Assistant under an independent contractor setup. I’ll be starting next week.

1. Do you pay your taxes as an independent contractor? Sa last two remote jobs ko kasi, hindi ko pa siya naasikaso due to financial constraints and I had to prioritize other things.

2. First time ko ring gagamit ng Clockify and Slack. I’m currently researching about them, but do you have any tips on what they’re mainly used for and ano yung mga dos and don’ts when using these tools?

Also, do you have any advice on how to build a good and long-term working relationship with a client? Australian company po pala ito.

After two months of job hunting, finally tapos na ang waiting season ko. Sobrang saya ng puso ko kasi yung pinag-pray kong compensation, benefits, at WFH setup, nakuha ko in just one job offer.

Ang mas nakakatuwa, ito pa yung company na least expected kong mahire ako. Last application ko sa kanila was June 3. After the interview, wala na akong na-receive na feedback, so akala ko talo na naman.

Buong June, I applied to seven companies. Halos lahat umaabot ako sa final interview, pero laging may mas fit daw sa role. Nakakapagod at nakaka-question minsan ng sarili, pero tuloy lang.

Then yesterday, nag-reach out yung recruiter. Kaya pala walang offer before kasi naka-leave siya at naka-hold yung position. Last Monday, tinanong niya kung interested pa rin ako sa role. Sabi ko yes, kasi actively looking pa rin naman ako. Sinabi rin niya na kailangan ko ulit dumaan sa interview, and okay lang sa akin kasi part naman ng process.

Dapat may interview ulit ako this Friday, pero guess what? Tinawagan niya ako during lunch to share the good news—cancelled na yung interview because I was selected for the position. Urgent na rin kasi yung role. 😭

Nakakatuwa lang kasi last Monday, akala ko may offer na ako from another company. Nag-usap kami na tatawag sila for the final interview, pero buong araw akong naghintay at wala akong natanggap na call. Medyo nalungkot pa ako.

Tapos eto, may kapalit palang blessing.

This morning, medyo sad pa ako kasi I had two final interviews scheduled this afternoon and pagod na pagod na talaga ako. Pero sabi ko sa sarili ko, "Keep showing up. Darating din yung tamang opportunity."

At dumating nga.

Totoo talaga what's meant for you will find its way to you, and God's timing is always better than our timeline. 🤍

Sa mga job hunters diyan, keep showing up kahit sobrang nakakapagod na. Keep applying, keep attending interviews, and keep believing in yourself. We only need one "yes" to change everything.

Hi for context, I have a friend who was terminated from her previous job, tho she didn't tell me the whole story.. it's more on mental state nya and napabayaan talaga ang duties and responsibilities. She asked me advice if Pano daw ba nya iinform sa inapplayan nya na terminated sya. Should she be honest ba? Any advice that you can share with her is much appreciated.

SKL, going 8 months na akong hindi kumakain or nagke-crave ng fast food. Since I started working from home last year, mas na-appreciate ko yung mga lutong-bahay. I'm actually proud of myself. 😊

Ngayon kapag lumalabas ako, hindi na ako natetempt mag-fast food. Dati kasi parang umiikot yung buhay ko sa fast food at restaurants. Nakatulong din talaga yung WFH dahil na-realize ko kung gaano kalaki yung nagagastos ko sa kaka-crave at kakabili ng pagkain sa labas.

Even coffee, namamahalan na ako ngayon. 😂 Dati halos araw-araw akong nasa coffee shop, at parang gusto kong ikutin lahat ng cafe na nakikita ko sa IG at TikTok.

Wala lang, gusto ko lang i-share kasi small win siya for me. But of course, if treating yourself with good food or coffee makes you happy, wala namang masama doon. We all deserve to enjoy the things that make us happy. 😊

I've been starting to doubt myself lately.

I know I'm capable, but I don't think I'm exceptionally good at anything. I'm not the favorite either. Sometimes it feels like I'm only appreciated when people need something from me.

People often say I'm shy, but I'm really not. I'm just not the type who always needs to be around people or constantly join in on everything. There are simply things I genuinely enjoy doing on my own.

Sometimes I wonder if I need to be more outgoing, more social, or more like everyone else just to be liked or noticed.

But then again, who cares?

I have so many things I want to do in life, so many dreams I want to pursue, but sometimes it feels like opportunities never come my way. Even so, I'm not someone who gives up easily.

It's just that there are days when you feel discouraged.

Lately, I've been isolating myself. I love the solitude, and I enjoy my own company. But if I'm being honest, there are moments when I wish someone would find me, care for me, and love me without me having to ask.

Just getting this off my chest.

Hoping better days will come. 🤍

Two months ago, I received an initial offer of ₱50k basic + ₱5k allowance for an Operations Manager position. Everything went well and I was just waiting for the contract. Then they asked for my 2316.

I was hesitant to submit it because I was worried they might reconsider the offer once they saw my previous salary. In my last job, I was only earning around ₱30k inclusive of allowances, and my position was a senior-level role, not a manager.

During the interviews, I was completely honest that I didn't have direct Operations Manager experience, although most of the job responsibilities ay parehas They were aware of that from the start. After submitting the requirements, my concern turned out to be valid. The offer was revised down to ₱37k. I understand that companies can reassess compensation, but I was still disappointed because my qualifications and expectations had already been discussed during the interview process.

In the end, I declined the offer. I've been unemployed for two months now, but at least I have peace of mind. Part of me felt that if they could significantly change the offer after everything had already been agreed upon, it might indicate management issues down the line. 😅

Any advice Dyan if Pano kayo mag respond sa gantong situation.
