Guys, help me decide what I can give my boyfriend as a graduation gift. My budget is only ₱800, and gusto ko sana siyang bigyan ng something meaningful kahit limited lang budget ko. Graduation na namin this Saturday, and I really want to surprise him with a gift. Preferably something I can order online or through Shopee para mas mabilis dumating. Honestly, wala pa talaga akong maisip HAHAHAHA. 😭

Any gift suggestions under ₱800? Something useful, thoughtful, or memorable sana. 🥹💗

Hello guys! I hope you can help me. I'm looking for a graduation dress, but I'm so tired of looking online because they don't fit me properly. So now I'm going to look for one at SM North EDSA. Can you please recommend a good store in SM North that usually has dresses that fit midsize girls?

Pagod na pagod na ako maghanap huhu. Help me please. 🥹

Hello everyone, can you give me some advice on how I can improve my English in just two weeks? I'm looking for the most effective ways to improve in a short period of time so I can speak English more fluently.

I'm a fresh college graduate and I'm currently looking for a job. I really want to apply to a US-based company, such as a BPO or a VA company, because I need a stable income as soon as possible.

My biggest concern right now is that I'm not very confident in speaking English. During interviews, I often experience mental blocks. I become so nervous that I start shaking, and I suddenly don't know what to say, even though I know the answer.

I'm under a lot of pressure because I really need to find a job as soon as possible. I want to help my family, but lately I've been so stressed that I can barely sleep because I'm constantly thinking about what will happen the next day. My father is currently fighting chronic kidney disease (CKD) and undergoes dialysis three times a week. That's why I'm doing everything I can to get a job and help with our family's expenses, especially my father's treatment.

Because of this, I really want to work in the BPO or VA industry because I believe it offers better earning potential than the career path related to my degree. However, my biggest challenge is my spoken English. Deep down, I know I'm capable and that I have the skills. The problem is that as soon as the interview starts, I get extremely nervous, and my mind goes completely blank.

I want to start applying now, but I feel like I'm still not ready. I'm worried that I'll just waste my time, money, and opportunities if I fail because of my English communication skills.

For now, I'm willing to focus on improving my English. I'll continue practicing and preparing throughout July, and by the first week of August, no matter what happens, I'll start applying.

I think most of my difficulties with speaking English come from my limited vocabulary, storytelling skills, and my understanding of proper English grammar. I know exactly what I want to say in my first language, but I struggle to express the same thoughts in English because I don't always know the right words or how to structure my sentences.

So far, I've been watching English videos and practicing speaking by myself, but I still struggle to speak spontaneously. I would really appreciate hearing what worked for you. What was the most effective way you improved your English communication and storytelling skills, especially for BPO or VA interviews?

Any advice or personal experiences would mean a lot to me.

Thank you so much!

PS. I'm from Philippines

I think one of the reason why I'm struggling to speak in english because I lack of knowledge in different English words can someone tell me how I can improve my vocabulary in english?

Fresh graduate ako and currently looking for a job. Gusto ko sana mag-apply sa BPO or VA because I need a stable income as soon as possible. Ang concern ko lang is di talaga ako magaling verbally mag English and madalas akong ma-mental block like literal na wala nalang masasabi bigla.

Sobrang pressured na ako ngayon kasi gusto ko na talagang makahanap ng trabaho. I really want to help my family talaga kaya super pressure and stress talaga ako to the point na dina ako nakakatulog sa gabi kakaisip anong next mangyayari sakin, yung father ko kasi nagda-dialysis, kaya ang dami naming gastusin sa gamot at treatment nya kaya want na want ko na talaga sana makahelp sakanila. Sa ngayon kasi ate ko lang ang may work now pero maliit lang din ang sahod niya.

So dahil nga dun gusto ko talagang mag-apply sa BPO or maging Virtual Assistant dahil mas okay ang potential salary. Ang problema ko lang talaga is hindi ako confident sa pagsasalita ko ng English like literal. Kapag interview na o kailangan magsalita, sobrang kinakabahan ako at parang nabablangko talaga ako.

Gustong-gusto ko nang mag-apply, pero pakiramdam ko hindi pa talaga ako ready and baka magsayang lang ako ng pamasahe, oras, at opportunity kung babagsak lang din ako dahil sa English communication ko. I really and willing to learn english muna talagaa and mag reready lang muna din ako kahit this july and by 1st week of August kahit anong mangyari mag aapply na talaga ako.

Previous attempts:

Nanonood ako ng English videos at nagpa-practice mag-isa, pero nahihirapan pa rin akong magsalita nang spontaneous. Gusto ko sanang malaman kung ano ang pinaka-effective na ginawa ninyo para mabilis ma-improve ang English communication at storytelling skills, especially for BPO or VA interviews.

Any advice or personal experiences would really help. Thank you so much!

Guys, ano bang ginagawa niyo sa Kabataan Trabaho Konek? Sobrang mahiyain kasi ako, and I really have social anxiety, especially kapag may activities na kailangang gawin with other people. Pero kailangan ko na talaga ng pera ngayon, kaya gusto kong i-push tong Kabataan Trabaho Konek. 😭

Sa mga naunang batch, ano-ano po ba ang ginagawa ninyo doon? Kumusta po yung experience? Thank you po! 🥹

Good day po. I live near Punturin Elementary School Main, and I'm really interested in studying at TESDA through St. Thomas Aquinas Institute of Caloocan Inc. I have already inquired about the program. Based on Google Maps, around 13 minutes drive lang po ang layo ng school from our place. However, my problem is that I don't know how to commute going there.

​

Their address is:

B10 L2 Upper Peach Palm St., Whispering Palm Subd., Llano Rd., Brgy. 167, Caloocan City.

​

May I ask what public transportation I should take from Punturin to get there?I would really appreciate it if you could guide me on the easiest route and the vehicles I need to ride. Thank you so much! 😊

Hello po. I'm from PLV. Ask ko lang po sa mga previous students dito sa PLV. Medyo down down po kasi ako ngayon dahil umaasa akong maging Cum Laude this graduation. Kaso nitong 4th year, may isa akong professor na nagbigay sa akin ng grade na 2.25 which is requirement ng plv na dapat di baba ng 2 yung grade mo.

Gusto ko lang itanong if ano ang process ng pag-aappeal ng grade at kung may posibilidad pa bang makapasok sa Cum Laude honors. Sana po may makapagbahagi ng kanilang karanasan o maipayo kung ano ang dapat kong gawin. Maraming salamat po.

Problem/Goal:

Valid ba na gusto ko nang makipaghiwalay dahil sa paulit-ulit naming away, pagkawala ng confidence ko, at sa way niya ng pag-handle ng conflict through silence at pag-iwas sa communication?

Context:

Before pa naman sinasabihan ko na sya na big deal talaga sakin kapag kaya niya akong tiisin at hindi kausapin kapag magkaaway kami. In fast weeks kasi may ginawa syang katarantaduhan and simula noon parang lagi na kaming nag-aaway.

Feeling ko kasi most of our fights already come from situations na unti-unting nakakapagpababa ng confidence ko. Parang habang tumatagal, mas nagiging insecure ako because of the things he did, and instead na maayos agad, naiipon lang yung hurt at overthinking kaya madali na kaming mag-clash kahit sa maliliit na bagay. Like twice ko na kasi syang nahulihang nonood sa Instagram and Tiktok ng mga pa sexy girls (like mga kita dede and di sya mga artista hah, random girls talaga na makikita nya lang sa friend suggestions nya and iistalk na agad parang pag nanasaan).

So bali nung Tuesday night, nag-away kami. Ako yung last chat nung gabi na yun kasi tinulogan nya ako, and aminado naman ako na medyo pagalit yung tone at mga sinabi ko that time. Nakakainis kasi wala syang paliwanag that night basta tinulogan nya lang ako after ko mag chat.

Kinabukasan, pagkagising ko, chineck ko agad kung nag-reply na ba siya. Pero wala. Kahit simpleng “good morning” man lang, wala akong natanggap. Kaya ako rin, hindi na rin ako nag-chat sa kanya.

Pero honestly, deep inside umaasa pa rin ako na magme-message siya. Ilang beses kong chine-check yung Messenger ko just to see if nag-reply na ba siya. And guess what? Wala talaga. Buong araw lumipas without even a single chat from him.

Ang mas masakit lang isipin is buong araw naman siyang nasa bahay nila that time kasi holiday naman nung Wednesday pero ni isang message wala talaga. So hanggang ngayon Thursday na 2 days na kaming walang communication. And habang tumatagal yung silence, mas nafifeel ko yung pagod at sakit na parang kaya niya akong tiisin nang ganun lang.

Alam ko rin naman na may mali ako kasi hindi ko rin siya chinachat. Pero siguro ang gusto ko lang talaga malaman is kung may pake pa ba talaga siya sa’kin enough to reach out first.

After this balak ko na sana syang hiwalayan valid ba lahat? Kasi i promise to myself if wala syang gagawin, wala na din akong gagawin para lang kausapin sya. Hayaan ko nalang na mag hiwalay kami ng walang pag uusap.

First boyfriend ko siya, almost 5 years na kami together. Normal ba talaga na kapag walang condom, parang 1 minute pa lang, nilalabasan na siya? Madalang lang naman kami mag-unprotected s6x, pero kapag ganun, sobrang bilis niya talaga labasan.

Kapag may condom naman, minsan kapag sobrang in the heat of the moment kami, mga 5 minutes pa lang, lalabasan na siya. Pero minsan tumatagal naman sya kasi cinocontrol nya daw hahahah

Pero ang maganda naman sakanya after mga ilang mins kaya nya na uli makipag ano. Pero minsan nakakabitin lang talaga kasi ang bilis nya labasan hahaha.
