What is this? 🥲 Nakakainsecure 🥺

Skin Type: Normal
Age/Gender: 26
Current Skincare Routine: Kojic soap
Main Concern: (Read below)
Lifestyle Factors: Normal
Budget: 1,000 (Effective products please 🥲)
Additional Info:

Bata pa lang ako pansin ko na’to. Sa upper thighs ko sya sa may part ng singit. Maitim sya especially sa personal and both sides meron ako pero mas malaki yung size nya sa left side. Para syang balat or birthmark tbh. Mas itim sya sa personal. I’m hesitant kung balat nga ba sya kase hindi naman pantay yung kulay nan tapos both sides meron ako.

I already tried using whitening products like soap and lotion pero never yan nagwhiten. I’m thinking tuloy na baka may internal issue ako tapos ayan yung effect nya.

Alarplasty + Tiplasty or overhaul nose job?

Planning to have a nose job pero hindi ko alam kung anong procedure yung best for me.

I want kase yung procedure na bagay lang for my face at hindi OA yung gawa. Kumbaga yung sakto lang for the harmony of my face at natural lang.

As you can see, low bridge, bulbous, at mababa na medyo piggy yung alars ko.

I’m planning to have alarplasty and tiplasty procedures para sa no-implant nose job. Mas bet ko kase ang no implant since hindi nakakatakot madali o magalaw yung nose in the long run. But I’m not sure kung papayag ang future doctor ko and if it’s the best fit for me.

I’m aiming for doctor Anne Caoile kase parang natural lang sya gumawa. But I’m also open for other recommendation sa ibang doctor na pwede kong pagkatiwalaan.

First job interview FAILED.

Had my very first interview earlier. Accounting associate yung positon na inapplyan ko at jusq po nakakahiya. Kung ano-ano pinagsasabi ko 😭. Hindi talaga kase ako magaling sa English mapa-written or verbal man yan kaya kanina hirap na hirap ako ielaborate yung sinasabi ko. 😭 Supposedly 30 minutes interview pero 15 minutes lang tinagal kase parang nawalan na rin ng gana yung employer. Wala pa naman yung result pero alam ko ng FAILED ako. 😭

Any suggestion kung paano gumaling sa English especially sa communication? 🥹🥹

Real Estate agent job offer

Problem/Goal: I’m a fresh graduate and may nag-offer saken ng Sales Agent position ng real estate (house only) sa province. At first, hesitant ako kase hindi sya align sa degree ko. Duda din ako sa sarili ko kung kakayanin ko kase mahinhin ako makipag-usap. Pero nung diniscuss na saken yung roles and responsibilities ko and allowance medyo nagustuhan ko naman sya kase kahit papaano magkakaroon na ako ng trabaho. Mahigit 1 month na kase akong naghahanap.

Context: So yung role ko is SA pero more on digital marketing. May budget din silang ibibigay para sa socmeds marketing. Tapos hybrid DAW yung set-up. Pupunta lang daw ako sa office every time na may trippings and meetings. May monthly allowance na 12,000 but no fixed salary and benefits. And 2.5% yung commission. I forgot lang to ask kung paano yung commission structure. But I read somewhere na dun sa percentage ng commission bali kahati pa ata yung team mo don (I’m not sure).

I don’t really have the plans na maging long-term job ko to. Kase I really want to pursue yung career dream ko.

For those people out there, can you give me some insights about this job? Off kase talaga ako sa ganitong trabaho kase parang wala namang tumatagal dito 🥲
