So i can plan my commute na tomorrow hahahah

Magoopen pa kaya sila ng sections?

hold-ups, gangs, riding in tandems, bigla may mang babaril? god, sobrang nakakatakot. ano na nangyari makati? it wasn't like this before. ive been living in makati ever since i was a literal baby, and its such a first for me to hear news like this in my hometown. a kagawad got shot near my street and ive never been so scared. muntikan na rin ako manakawan ng phone sa prc jeep before, but thank god i was alert; ever since then my mom made me ride mc taxis nalang.

is there anything that we can do about this? im insanely disappointed with the mayor we have right now, its quite long na that these crimes are still on going and yet theres no action or proper statement from our own mayor. how can we feel safer? it also seems unfair that some higher class barangays got it easy because the privileged or the rich have better security. but what about the rest of us? makatizens rin po kami, we deserve to feel safe in our streets.

i feel scared to go out. i feel scared for my parents to go out. i feel scared for everyone that i love to go out because who knows what can happen knowing crimes are happening more often.

Might fail strema again for the 2nd time. Ang bigat sa pakiramdam knowing nag effort ka magaral, pero not enough parin.

Yan lang talaga yung course nababagsak ko. I am willing to push more, gustong gusto ko maging engineer eh. Paano kayo nagststay sane at optimistic knowing you're terms behind? :( I thought kakayanin ko maging regular.

Most especially, how do I explain this to my mom? Grabe, college really humbles you, from high honors in shs to becoming an irreg last term.

on a car ride back home my bf (21M) said "magbbouldering nga pala kami sa tuesday, kasama si girl at yung guy friend niya", i'm (21F) like "oh nice i want to sama rin, matagal ko na rin gusto magbouldering ulit diba?"; then he said "eh free ka ba sa tuesday? hindi ba may online class ka nun?"

for clarity sa people involved, the girl is one of his tropa since jhs days; she started bouldering recently and want to hang rin w my bf since diff unis na sila. maybe ure starting to duda them na rn, pero i can tell you, they're just friends; wala talaga ako winoworry sakanila and to my bf in general. they barely talk and hang out rin. plus kasama rin ni girl yung boy bestie niya (as my bf said before, puro lalaki talaga friends ni girl haha)

to continue the story, tinanong ko kung pwede ko tignan yung chat (they communicate in their barkada gc), and i read it. the girl even asked if im coming, to which my bf immediately said may online class ako that day. then i got upset na. bakit siya nagdecide para saakin? eh nabanggit ko nga rin sakanya na gusto ko rin magbouldering, iniintay ko lang siya maging available ulit. tapos kung kelan may opportunity na at partially iniinvite ako, bf declined naman.

i ended up being mad at him and tell him he should always ask me first kahit alam niya baka di ako available, cause who knows baka may changes sa sched ko that day. and guess what, tuesday na ngayon and i was right, my classes ended up being asynchronous. in his defense, he knows i wont be available kasi may online class nga ako. in the end nag away kami because he cant seem to comprehend that he SHOULDVE STILL ASKED ME. as our every once in a blue moon fuckass fight ends, we apologize to eachother naman.

today is tuesday, and pumunta na siya ngayon sa bouldering place. and im still bitter about it. im not talking to him ng maayos ngayon. a part of me is like "at talagang pumunta parin siya ah" pero im also like ang kapal rin ng mukha ko para sabihin yan.

the reason why i think na gago ba ako kasi nagalit ako sa bagay na yun at nagiging dry ako sakanya ngayon; kasi pumunta parin siya kahit nagaway na kami. icl bihira kami nagaaway ni bf. but in this instance, im trying to look all perspectives and open to know kung mali nga ba talaga ako at may need ayusin sa sarili ko. mali ba ako na nagalit ako? na ganto nararamdaman ko?

ako ba yung gago for getting mad at my bf kasi hindi niya ako sinama sa ganap niya?

me and my bf are going to have our anniv soon ! but we're both just college students who only save money from our allowances + side hustles, do you know any quality budget restos or bars that are under ₱1000?

we found one before sa poblacion, an 8 course meal for ₱800 and it was so sulit + ambience was so great. hoping to find something like that again.

thank you !!

Problem/Goal: minsan i feel embarassed that I have no close friends or a circle

Context: okay well may friends naman talaga ako, pero since diff unis na kami and focused sa studies, we barely bond and talk to eachother unless we're free; some are in diff countries na rin too huhu. in my current uni, i honestly have no immediate circle but a close friend and many acquaintances that i do small talks with ganon, or for academic purposes. but like, yung friends na tipong gagala kayo or group study or whatever—i dont have that eh. for more context, me and my bf are in the same uni pero diff departments, so we meet time to time. and he has a lot of friends, even has friends sa department ko. which is great honestly and no issue sakin kasi they're all amazing, nice, and masaya kasama. then parang narealize ko, my god im the complete opposite of my bf; though i find peace w my current social life (kasi im an only child and sanay w being alone), sometimes i long for that "funness" rin. icl, malaking bagay rin na i dont gala much na since my course is challenging; but masaya parin to chill for awhile and have fun with friends—even helping eachother sa acads. i dont know why i have a hard time finding my people rin sa campus, puro acquaintances meron ko but not a solid circle huhu. factor rin siguro na kada class iba iba set of classmates ko. me and my bf are both introverted, but i see him more as an ambivert. and parang dagdag pressure sakin na, i just turned 21 and mag tthird year college na, yet I still dont have a circle of friends? gosh parang ako nasasad sa sarili ko huhu. is it valid that i feel embarassed sometimes? how did you guys find your people in college?

Previous Attempts: accept the fact im at peace w my social life and that we're opposites; mag focus lang rin sa studies.

hi just turned 21 (F), and im going to be a 3rd year student in a few months na. i recently failed a 5 unit course na strema haha :(, and it kinda gave me a bit more time w my sched and for the next terms since marami siyang pre-reqs. i initially thought maghanap ako ng part time jobs like being a va or in some fast food industry to help w my parents finances and all, but then i saw a tiktok talking about prioritizing college internships or voluntary interships is waaay better kasi it can build ur resume and dagdag experience pag magwwork na ako ++ more knowledge and wisdom siguro since im technically in an environment related to my field.

anyway, gusto ko lang iask if is internships really better to pursue na now so i can gain experience? if so, how? and may companies ba na tumatanggap na for students like me? sorry im very new to this.

thank you po, engineers!

Problem/Goal: rejected an opportunity of a lifetime at 21

Context: ive always wanted to join our university's cheering squad, first year palang ako nun pero i didnt try muna. now im turning 3rd year, and i got recruited out of nowhere, sila mismo nag approach sakin and i thought it was the biggest sign. dream ko talaga makasama sa cheering squad since ive had experience na before and have the skills for it, i even bought shorts na para sa training. then when i told my mom about it, ayaw niya. she doesn't want me to join at all, gusto niya makatapos agad ako sa college at makapagwork agad. she wants me to focus on my studies lang. nakailang kulit ako para lang maconvince siya na pumunta ako sa training, puro hindi ang sinasabi niya at bahala na daw ako sa buhay ko. pero if i made the choice naman na pupunta, igguilt trip niya ako ng sobra. i ended up denying the offer. i asked my friends advice, they were helpful naman, until one of my aussie friend said na im old enough to make MY OWN decisions na since i am 21; she was surprised i still ask permission to my mom for decisions like those, but i mean we habe different cultures so things really are different. it made me question na, maybe time ko nga to stop asking their opinions on decisions like those? totoo naman na i am old enough, but in our culture, isn't it given that we should respect and follow our parents especially that we live under the same roof and still studying? im conflicted on when is the right time to not consider ur parents opinions vs when you'll consider them. kasi ive regretted so much on rejecting that opportunity and been crying since. na sana pala, pumunta nalang ako sa training kahit ayaw ng nanay ko. if it helps why theyre like this to me, its because im an only child/daughter rin.

Previous Attempts: tried not following her before, she would either yell at me or threaten me
