apartment or condo: which is better and what would you choose?

i’ve lived in both my whole college life, but mostly nakacondo talaga ako. for context, i’m living in ubelt, españa area and my contract is ending next month. i’m looking for places and i want sana na magcondo ulit but there are cheap apartments na decent tignan around here.

rent around this area is actually pretty high 😭 but sometimes, there are apartments na very nice pero kasing price na ng condo.

for me, ang ayoko sa mga condo ay mahigpit sila masiyado sa security (for obv reasons) eh i like inviting friends over. sa apartments naman, usually walang mapagiiwanan ng parcels and whatnot. hindi rin ako nakakapagpadeliver ng water sa unit ko mismo kasi walang nagaakyat.

mahilig rin ako magluto, so iniisip ko rin alin yung mas less yung restriction sa mga gagamitin ko.

isa pang consideration ko is yung gym, siyempre walang amenities and gym sa apartment, pero since it’s cheaper, i could probably just use the money i’ll save para sa gym subscription. but then again pag nasa condo, andon na lahat.

for everyone who’s living in an apartment or condo, what would you say is the pros and cons of living in one? please help me decide!

must’ve thanked my lucky stars too much…

…they left me sitting in too much dust.
you know all my dreams, you were one, so it seemed.
i love you, but with you it’s heartache i breathe.
you gave it your all just with everything you took from me.

what an exceptionally hard day. top it all off with a NIKI soundtrack, who wouldn’t end tearing up? 🤣

all dramas aside, this has to be one of my faves from the Nicole album! i’ve listened to this in and out of a relationship lol just cause her songwriting is impeccable!

hope yallz have a good day! 💫

23 [F4M] medj ayoko na magbasa, gusto ko na dumaldal

hello human beings! i’m out having coffee rn + reading my book fixation for this month (if you’re wondering, it’s the bell jar by sylvia plath!!) i kinda am bored na with just reading and i wanna stay here sa cafe until their closing time!!

i’m a big fan of reading, and when i read i usually annotate. i didn’t get to annotate much with this book kasi i’m reading a pdf lang LOL (i’m sorry di ko naman intention magpirate 🙂‍↕️) and really as a woman of the 21st century, ang dami kong insights about this book!! so we can yap about anything and i can probably yap about what i’m reading too if you’ll hear it HAHA i’m into calls ha!! kasi nakakatamad rin magchat lol

my interests include: cooking, cars, FASHIEWNNN, make ups, books, and we can talk about political topics/ideologies too! had my day 1 (again) sa gym and will run na (ulit 🤣) so if you’re inching your way through fitness then that would be cool!

huge plus if you’re 23 up, in healthcare too, loves reading, and can handle a real conversation! let’s stimulate each other’s brain yes?

see yallz lets b friends <33

how do i improve my tightline?

hello people of beautytalk! i’d like to ask you all for input and advice as to how i’ll improve my tightline and tightlining skills.

i am slightly chinita but would say na on the rounder eyes category, if that makes sense haha. but i haven’t an idea on how to make my tightline better. i liked it when i tried it once and could go on my day without mascara but not a tightline, but i also feel like sometimes i look like a panda pag ginagawa ko.

i used vice co. liner and issy gel liner before, but ang hirap magwork with them for me as a beginner kasi ang dali masmudge ng vice co tas issy naman is parang too creamy for me. for this photo, i used sisley and brown shade siya.

any advice or tip will be greatly appreciated, thank you guys and girlies alike!! 🤍

apparently, it does get better!

i haven’t been crying as much,
in fact i haven’t cried since you said goodbye.
the thought of you hadn’t cross my mind in a good while,
i did not check your instagram profile today,
i did not check if i’m unblocked on facebook already.

i had a slip up, i messaged you again.
i was so afraid that it will erase all the progress i’ve made.
it’s going 2 months now, i think i’m ready to not try to catch up.

i’ve always felt like love shouldn’t be something that we let go especially if things are workable.
but now i know that love isn’t something we have to hold on to so hard just to make it stay.

thank you, thank you so much.
it was a beautiful year and i wouldn’t have it any other way.
but now i know what i want and what i don’t want.
and i’m not crippled by the fear of being alone anymore.

the real loss in this relationship is me losing myself in loving you.
i know i’m not up there, i know i’m not perfect.
but i loved you the best way i know how.

i let this go. i let you go.

23 [F4M] kwento w me while i finish my boards and mtap transes!

hello people! ur local medtech girlie is finally graduating and is set to take my boards next yr.

i’ll also be retaking my nmat this coming oct (kasi naman nilaro ko lang first take ko LOLZZZZ) so what i’ll be doing today is aayusin ko transes ko and reviewer for all the important exams i’ll soon be taking!

i’m talkative YET a sleepyhead and when i feel like inaantok na ako, nawawala na motivation ko to study. so what i need from you is to daldal w me para matapos ko lahat ng need ko ayusin.

this will be online (thru discord or ig) as i am in bulacan today. pero tomsie babalik ako sa unit ko sa españa so if ever you’re in the area, we can have coffee outside.

i would appreciate it if you’re in healthcare too. pref an RMT/medtech reviewee or better yet, a med student! we understand the hustle and bustle so ig our starting off point would be great.

about me:
- 5’1, weighs 53 kg. slim build na ulit cuz i lost a lot of weight this month lawllll (if it matters idk why it should but putting it here nalang din)
- hindi chinita constantly, i would say almond eyes but i get chinita when i smile or laugh.
- into cars, movies and series, cooking, books, make up, and fashion
- a medtech intern at a public hospital
- goal-driven!! nothing i want more than topping the boards and getting into UST-FMS, UERM, or NRMF!

about u:
- i hope you’re around my age, in the healthcare field
- will listen while i actualize my yapper of yappington self 😭
- would be down to meet sometime in the future when i need someone to go out with!

this is strictly sfw and i wanna meet new friends so just hmu! <33

edit: if you’ve read this far, pls put in d effort to introduce urself and your hobbies, or anything about u. 😭

23[F4M] anyone wanna tambay in expo tmr?

hiya there! i’ll be getting off my duty ng 6 pm and would probably arrive ng 7:30 sa sm north (care of a co-intern na nagbbring ng car niya lol). since nasa qc naman na, i thought of going to expo as i haven’t been there for like months na. pagod na pagod na ako sa internship AS IN and dami rin nangyayari personally so going out would be nice.

facts about me:
- in healthcare, an MTI in a public hospital so napakaraming kwento. (TW: just last week we had a patient come in with his hand inside a meat grinder), will go to med next yr.
- looooves cars. they’re thinking of getting me one so if car guy ka i would prolly need ur opinion!!
- madaldal, maingay honestly, and mahilig bumangka kaya sure may mapaguusapan tayo. i get shy at first but i warm up to people really nicely!!
- interests include: make ups, cooking, tv series, singing, and bands/gigs!!

i hope u are:
- in healthcare too! or in med.
- around my age.
- sana marami rin kwento sa buhay and may sense kausap LOLLLL

come as u are!! maybe we could study tgt too or go to bands/gigs in the future hehe

La Union was supposed to be my happy place.

even before we broke up, i actually planned na on going on another nature trip. it’s either maghike ako or magbeach.

i wanted to celebrate a lot of things, first off my internship going smoothly, and of course, all the other things in my life esp our relationship. also the fact na my mom and i are starting to see each other eye to eye na more often.

eh shit happened. we broke up before i was able to do all that.

now, i’m ugly crying at 9 am sa katirikan ng araw, habang pinapanood mga kaibigan kong magsurf dahil di ako sanay lumangoy… na inside joke natin kasi between the two of us ikaw yung sanay.

as fate would have it, we’re the receiving end of a cruel joke kasi what do you know nasa elyu rin pala kayo. tangina naimagine ko to. last yr kasi nagtagaytay tayo. last time na nag elyu ako nasabi mo rin na gusto mo magtrip ng ganto kalayo. eh tangina. ano nangyari. wala.

so eto ako ngayon, umiiyak pa rin isang oras na nakararaan. kelan ba ako titigil umiyak? napapagod na ako.

sabi mo i should just get over it. totoo naman. pero ang sakit eh. ang sakit sakit pa rin talaga eh. ewan, makakayanan ko rin naman to pero shet haha kelan nga ba?

la union was supposed to be my happy place. you were supposed to be the love of my life and i was supposed to be yours.

haha welp shoot me in the face ig 🥲🥲🥲

23[F4A] going through the worst heartbreak and it’s a perfectly fine day for him; i need your insights.

i've built my dreams right at the roots of this relationship. you wanted so badly to be a doctor, so did i. every decision that i did in terms of my education, it was to bring us closer in medicine. you could say na i pushed it farther than i should've and now it has bit me back. you can say your
"sabi ko na sayo eh" and all. but it was a setback na didn't falter my heart kasi i know i'll also be a med student like you someday. i wanted to make you proud just as much as i want to make my mom proud. i want you to have a girlfriend na you can show off to everyone. ang shallow non oo pero gusto kong maipagmalaki mo ako, kaya nga sobrang desidido kong magtop ng boards right? it was all not for my dreams alone, but for you as well.

the perfect couple in med like i always tell you, right? that was the dream. i had a dream. we had a dream.

a year and a half of us now gone, reduced to nothing with you thinking of the main cause of my jealousy before. my heart is shattered into pieces and it seems as tho nothing ever really happened for you. all because of that one mistake of a night.

i don’t think i’m struggling to understand why the relationship is over; what i do not understand is why someone who said he loved me would let go like that?

——
can you relate to this? are you going through something too? can i share to you my story and in return, you give me your insight? i need someone who can talk to me no holds barred and talk the realest shit to me because i’ve been racking my brain the past week about this and it still hurts like yesterday while he’s living his best life.

come as you are, whole or with pieces left behind somewhere. this will be a safe space (because i will most likely incriminate myself lol).
