I live near Cash and Carry Makati, the same place where I lived during my OJT days and my first few months at my first job (circa 2016–2017).

Same area where I met him through Grindr, let’s call him Joe. Matangkad, moreno, malaki titi na maugat, corporate professional too, mukhang gentle yung mukha pero apakabastosss hahaha yie.

We used to be fuck buddies during my OJT days until the first few months at my first job — almost a year din yon. He fucked me at any places I can imagine — sa dorm noon ko kahit bawal, sa bahay nila, I gave him a blowjob sa loob ng pedicab na nakaparada sa tapat ng Blessah Salon and Spa at midnight lool.

Siya rin nag-introduce sa akin sa Gayle’s bakeshop na madaming branch sa Makati haha. In short, we had good memories together. But those didn’t last kasi I had to relocate sa Taguig para mas malapit sa workplace ko, that meant, leaving him behind. Aaminin ko, na-fall ako sa kanya, but again, fubu lang naman kami, and I think, one-sided lang yon haha.

Then last week, while ordering a hazelnut waffle sa food court ng Cash and Carry (and yes —- dito na ulit ako nakatira haha) nakita ko siya, same face but matured and daddy na, buhat-buhat yung daughter niya😭. We looked at each other for few secs until he flashed that familiar smile at me.

He pulled me sa may gilid and we talked for few minutes. And yes, he’s married na to co-worker and they have a child together. Sa area pa rin siya nakatira — tubong Cash and Carry raw siya lol. He’s so happy and shocked to see me raw and I said the same — kumustahan ba ganon.

I asked him, if his wife knows about his past..about us..about me— he just said ”Oo naman, she has to. She’s my wife.” — Nong narinig ko yon, I felt nothing but happiness for him. Kasi he mentioned noon na, what if one day ma-in-love siya sa babae, tatanggapin ba raw siya ng buo despite his past? And now, here he is, happily married with a child.

And ako? I had my hazelnut waffle with extra cream cheese that day. In all fairness, hindi kuripot si kuya sa hazelnut syrup ah!

I had an interview few weeks ago for a project management role. I arrived at The Globe Tower 30 mins early only to be told na, online interview na lang daw and cancelled na ang F2F. Told them na I was already there —- after 10 mins, pumayag na sila for an F2F interview as planned.

Sinabi ko na andun na ako, so after around 10 minutes, pumayag din sila to proceed with the F2F interview as planned. Here’s the exciting part —- 30 minutes late yung hiring manager… na naging 1 hour HAHAHA. So na-delay ng 1 hour yung interview, then in the end, ibang person na lang yung nag-interview sa’kin. Tapos sobrang rushed pa. HAHAHA

Ewan ko ba, the vibes were….off.

T Consulting – Australia Regional Projects)?

Maulang Sunday mga corpo friends!

I’m currently exploring an opportunity with KPMG Philippines under the IT Consulting practice, specifically supporting regional projects for Australia, and I’d love to hear from those who have firsthand experience.

I’m currently working as a IT Project Delivery Lead at an MNC, but it primarily support the Philippine operations. I never knew rin na KPMG has now an IT side kasi I thought accounting lang talaga sila hahaha.

For those currently working (or who previously worked) in KPMG Philippines’ IT Consulting team:

\- How’s the overall working environment and culture?
\- How’s the workload and work-life balance?
\- What’s it like working with Australian stakeholders and regional teams?
\- Are there good opportunities for learning and career growth?
\- Would you recommend it for someone looking to grow into Delivery Lead or Technical Project Manager roles?

I’d really appreciate any honest insights — the good, the bad, and everything in between. I know it depends on the project talaga but I’d love to hear your overall insights.

Thank you everyone!!!

I’m 29M and currently in a 5-year relationship with my boyfriend, but for the past few years/months, we’ve been slowly drifting apart.

Deep inside, I know I’m bisexual. Before I met my current boyfriend, I had several relationships and experiences with women. Pero dahil sa differences namin in personalities, unti-unti na talaga akong nawalan ng gana sa relationship namin. Honestly, matagal ko nang naiisip makipaghiwalay—hinihintay ko na lang talaga yung tamang timing.

About a year ago—at a time na alam kong unti-unti na rin akong nafo-fall out of love sa boyfriend ko, I met someone at work. Babae siya, same age as me. The first time we locked eyes, I immediately knew I liked her. Pero wala naman akong ginawa. I kept everything professional. We only talked about work, nothing more.

I did everything I could to suppress my feelings for her, pero habang tumatagal, mas lalo lang lumalala. And note na, hindi pa kami niyan madalas magkita due to differences in schedule and office floors. The more my relationship with my boyfriend deteriorated, the more my feelings for her intensified. It’s been a year now, and nothing has changed. I still like her. I always look forward to seeing her, and part of me wants to spend more time with her. But at the same time, I keep holding myself back because I know my situation. Ang hirap i-process.

The only thing I’m certain about is that I like her, and I want to end my relationship with my boyfriend. To be clear, breaking up has been my plan even before I met her. She wasn’t the reason I wanted to leave. Pero right now? I don’t know anymore.

I honestly don’t know how to process everything I’m feeling right now. Sobrang mixed emotions. Part of me feels like it’s unfair, part of me feels like I’m betraying someone, and the other part doesn’t even know what to think anymore. Nalilito na talaga ako and I don’t know how to make sense of all of this.

5 years in and don’t see the point already. Your answers are appreciated. Thank you.

Hello!

I’m ( 30m) looking for badminton clubs around Makati—yung beginner-friendly sana and pwede maglaro after working hours, kahit anong oras pa yan haha! I’d love to reignite my love for badminton.

Thank you, everyone!

Hello!

So aside from badminton, I want to reignite my love for bowling haha! Plano ko pumunta sa Makati Square to play after working hours.

Madami bang tao at night, until 12 AM? And tara? Hahaha beginners lang din like me, just for fun!

Thanks everyone!

Majority aren’t good reviews and I’ve been thinking if itutuloy ko ba or what haha. Maiba tayo, any pros or positive experiences working at Globe? Would appreciate your insights.

Salamat everyone!

Hello!

I have an upcoming interview this week at Globe Telecom for an IT Lead role, primarily focused on project management.

I’m hoping to get some insights, especially from those who have experience working in similar roles or environments. Most of the reviews I’ve seen so far are a bit vague for the role I applied hehe. Thank you everyone!

My manager said I’m getting paid more than expected for my role. Anyone here in project delivery who can weigh in?

About me: 30M, currently working as an IT Project Delivery Lead in the banking/insurance industry, earning 85K monthly. Overall 4 years of experience in project delivery.

1 year na ako sa current employer ko, and recently nagkaroon ako ng touchpoint with my manager. One of the topics we discussed was my salary. She mentioned na I’m earning way more than expected for my role — overpaid daw ako. Hindi ko siya masyadong inisip at the time, pero ngayon napapaisip na rin ako…overpaid nga ba ako? Haha.

For context, I handle end-to-end delivery of projects — from requirements gathering hanggang stabilization period. I may not be doing the hands-on work, pero I make sure that everything and everyone is enabled and is aligned on what’s happening. I handle timeline forecasting and constant alignment with the business on anything related to the project. And hindi lang ito for a single initiative, but multiple ones.

What I don’t handle is budgeting and some other responsibilities typically owned by an IT Project Manager. More on day-to-day operations and on-the-ground execution ako — I’m responsible for delivery, while the Project Manager remains accountable.

Am I overpaid?

Kanina, I was with someone and kumain kami sa Ikinari Steak sa One Ayala. I was wearing my cap, then bigla niya sinabi na dapat daw tanggalin ko habang kumakain kasi it’s considered rude to wear a cap when dining in. Honestly, ngayon ko lang narinig yun, and sanay naman ako na nakacap kahit saan without anyone calling it out.

Medyo na-bother lang ako sa totoo lang, bothered sa the fact na I’ve been doing it my whole life hahaha.

Update: Thanks everyone!! To clarify, I do remove my cap when entering an establishment pero binabalik ko rin talaga hahaha nakasanayan lang talaga ever since. I remember my mom calling me out about it pero it came to a point na, she stopped. Tumataas na rin kasi hairline ko kaya I used my cap to avoid it being seen.

Usapang company culture naman tayo when it comes to sick leaves, emergency leaves, and vacation leaves. When you’re on sick leave, since it’s unpredictable, how do your manager, and teammates handle it?

My previous employers were mostly BPO and shared services, and kapag may nag-SL bigla, may feedback agad from leads and teammates. Tatawagan ka pa kahit alam na naka-SL or VL ka, just for an inquiry — which is disrespectful para sa akin haha. Especially sa first job ko as a service desk agent/call center, required agad ang med cert kahit 1 day lang, and ang daming reasoning na kailangan mong i-provide— parang utang na loob mo pa na nag-SL or even VL ka.

Ngayon, nasa in-house company ako and I handle PH projects. 3 days na rin akong naka-SL, and I haven’t heard from my manager or even my teammates (except sa mga tea, of course 🤣). I just told my manager that my SL would extend by one day, and he just said, ‘Okay, pagaling ka.’ — that’s it.

The weird thing is, I feel guilty na I’m on SL for 3 days in a row na. Kasi kaya ko naman mag-work — titiisin ko nga lang yung flu and body aches ko lol. Ewan ko ba, looks like I need to unlearn yung mga nakaugalian ko sa first job ko.

Kayo ba, kumusta sa inyo?

May marerecommend ba kayong insurance company(ies) to work for dito sa bansa? If you work at one, kumusta experience ninyo — salary progression, environment, and benefits?

I’m talking about being corporate employee ahh not an agent/FA.

I’m currently working at one, and so far it’s been good. The organization is flat and the environment is relaxed. There are busy periods at times, but not to the extent that it leads to burnout.

I also worked at ☀️ —- no comment lol.

Thank you!
