OA lang ba ako kung gusto ko na magno contact w my parents?

For context, my parents were one of the people who lost their jobs nung pandemic and never got their heads above the water after that, and I’m 23 this yr!

They’re still in their late 40s and very capable to look for work pero parang pinanghinaan na sila ng loob and parang pinasa saken ang baton haha.

I just graduated college and I started working 2 yrs ago, ever since they found out may work ako, I’ve giving them money whenever they need and I don’t mind naman kasi I wanted to help.

But lately it’s like my father feels entitled to ask me for money kasi anak niya ako.

Tito ko nagpaaral at bumubuhay sa akin and I don’t sampal that to my parents kasi lahat kami grateful, what they do though is whenever magaaway kami ng parents ko, ginagamit nila yung situation para iguilt trip ako, na sinasabi kaya ko sila sagot sagutin kasi tito ko nagpapaaral and kung di daw dahil sa kanila, nasa palayan parin ako sa probinsya.

Anyway, I try to avoid talking to my father kasi every time he calls nauuwi sa penge pera to the point na wala na hello how are u anak, diretso sa panghihingi. Hindi naman ako madamot no? Pero ganon man lang sana.

Ibabato pa saken kasi di ko sila kinakamusta rin, eh lahat ng convo namin buong college life ko ay:
“ano gagraduate ka pa ba”
“mabubuntis ka lang nang maaga”
“ano sabihin mo kung tuloy ka na sa pagaaral at tumulong ka nalang dito sa bahay at alagaan mo tong mga kapatid mo”
“magasawa ka na ng afam yung mayaman para matulungan ka”
“kamusta school? sus bakit ka nagpapastress kami nga stress na dito eh ikaw nagaaral ka lang naman”

like sige kayo ba? gusto niyo ba kumausap sa tao kung laging ganyan sinisingit sa usapan? nakakapagod diba? at nagwowonder sila bakit di ko na sila kinakamusta? tapos petty sila di na rin ako kakamustahin pero manghihingi ng pera hahahaha

Nakakainis kasi pag nagseset ako ng boundary, ako lumalabas na masama kasi pavictim yung tatay ko. Laging iniisip na inaapi ko siya whenever cinacall out ko behavior niya.

Mama ko naman na alam kong miserable buhay dahil sa tatay ko pero wala, tinitiis niya parin.

Fast forward, graduate nako, di ko sila chinachat. I’m moving out in a week tapos kasi di ko nirereplyan tatay ko ever since father’s day kasi out of nowhere ang sinabi saken: “ano na plano mo sa buhay mo”

like??? stressed out kasi I have to move out kasi may ibang titira kela tita in place of me, and sarili kong pera ilalabas ko sa lahat ng gastusin, walang help, wala.

so nagdelete ako ng messenger kasi masyadong nakakastress, tapos a few days ago naisipan kong magdownload kasi magseset na ako ng boundaries.

Pinagmumura ako ng tatay ko sa chat, makasarili daw ako, wag na daw ako magpapakita at magpaparamdam kundi sasampalin niya ako.

Tangina, ang ayos nung drinaft kong message para kahit papaano hindi kami magkalabuan ng tuluyan, tapos makikita ko yun? Aba tangina wag na.

Tapos nagchat mama ko sa ibang app, nagtatampo daw papa ko di ko kinakamusta, naglsm ako inexplain ko bakit hindi ko sila kinakausap at stressed ako.

Hindi niya daw alam, binuksan niya daw fb ng tatay ko dinelete daw yung chat.

Siya nagsosorry para daw sa tatay at kasi stress lang at may sakit rin. Tangina, ano ako? Tingin nila buhay prinsesa? Na ansarap ng buhay ko? Lahat nalang competition sa kanila, pag may low moment ako hindi papatalo, mas malala kanila.

Nakakapagod sa totoo lang, so di ko muna nireplyan mama ko.

Rereplyan ko na sana ngayon, deleted yung chat namin sa telegram hahaha. Tanginang yan, I’m tired of understanding parents like them.

Akala ko baby steps na kami ng mama ko to mend our rs, tapos ganon? I already expected she’ll side w my father, I was naive to think it was gonna be different.

I have two younger siblings, and I’m afraid na they’ll paint me as a villain sa kanila, yung ate na makasarili, walang respeto sa magulang, at bastos.

OA lang ba ako kung gusto ko na panindigan nila yang no contact na threat nila, kasi ako lang napapagod at laging kinakain ng anxiety everytime makikita ko messages nila sa phone ko??

Breaking up with my best friend - No contact exercise

My long-distance best friend, with whom I got into this limbo of being more than friends but not enough to commit to a label of being bf/gf, but we treat each other that way.

We've been together for over a year now, had multiple conversations about where this was going, but neither one of us wanted to end it, hence prolonging and delaying it as long as we could.

I couldn't do it anymore. I didn't wanna stay in this limbo of wondering if he's changed his mind about us. Do I ask him about it, or just stay silent and keep prolonging it until he does?

We finally had the talk last night. A part of me knew his answer remained, but a part of me was hoping that after being together for a week, his mind would somehow change. I told him I love him, and he said that he's known it for a while. I asked whether he ever felt the same way, he answered me with "What do you think?"

I'm struggling to accept that it's over. How can you move on from talking to someone every day, calling them every night, to just suddenly never hearing from them ever again? More than 2 years ago, I swore I wasn't gonna fall in love again and yet I've done the most cliche thing ever. Falling in love with my best friend.

It’s so hard to meet someone who you’re so in sync with. Someone whom I’m confident to say that I know like the back of my hand. How do you move on from that?

He loves me but not enough to pursue a romantic relationship with me. How do you do that to someone you've ingrained in your daily routine? He led to me God. How do I tell God that the person who introduced me to him is no longer part of my life? How do you move on from an almost? Almost makes it feel like I was not enough to be chosen. There's something wrong with me.

When I've finally gotten the courage to tell him how I really feel, it ends. Someone I've pictured a future with is gone.

We're currently doing no contact until Friday morning, and it's the first day and I'm struggling so badly. Why am I the only one hurting from this? I try to be logical but my brain tells me he never loved me coz if he did, he'd be here fighting for me.

It fucking sucks so bad. I'm always the girl who's hot enough to sleep with, but not pretty enough to be chosen. Is that what it was? He got what he wanted and he wants out.

I fucking flew twice to see him, flying was never an issue, I would've done anything to close the distance. Ugh this sucks.

Required ba talaga na bumili ng pasalubong kada magbakasyon?

I just came back from SG and suddenly felt guilty kasi people asked me for pasalubong, but I really only bought like a few cookies that my siblings liked and some cute keychains I saw. A friend of mine asked for pasalubong, but I didn't buy any for her kasi I wasn't planning to give people gifts lol. I said I have an extra ref magnet, and she jokingly said na "magnet lang?"

Is this a Filipino thing or what? Hindi porket mga tita ko nagshoshopping haul from abroad and kala mo OFW sa dami ng pasalubong na dala eh ganyan rin dapat ako.

I'm 23 for context, solo traveling.

I need PDCs to rent, so I need to get a checking account. Which bank should I register for?

Hello, I only have a debit account with SC and digital banks, but my landlord wants PDCs to let me rent. SC has a big maintaining balance which is 25k, BDO is 10k but their security isn't as great (from news before), Metrobank is 10k too.

I'm 23 and I've looked up a few banks pero I still want personal opinions :)

Please advise, thanks. :D

Edit: Thanks for the replies! I’ll try looking into RCBC and PSBank! Solely opening for the purpose of leasing kaya hesitant ako magopen sa matataas ang maintaining bal 😅 But thanks for the replies po.

▲ 7 r/taxPH

Freelancing since last year - Fresh Graduate - I want to start paying taxes, do I declare past income?

Hello, I work as a contractor for an overseas company. I get paid in USD, and I have been working since last year. I recently graduated a few weeks ago, and I am still working for the same company. I want to start paying taxes properly, but I'm worried that I'll incur penalties because I registered late.

I have a contractor agreement with them, so how do I approach this?

- Do I declare past income and incur penalties for registering late?

- Do I just register as a new clean slate?

Please advise, thank you.
