I started hosting dinner parties about a year ago for my family and friends and I've come to enjoy it. I typically host anywhere from 6 to 8 people so not a big group, and it's really simple like no decors, just good food and some games. We recently moved to a bigger house with about 100 sqm yard. so I'm excited to finally up my game when hosting.

What are the things that I should buy so that I don't have to keep buying stuff when I host? Like things I can reuse, and decors as well so that there could be variety. Maybe string lights? But where do we hang it? I'm thinking of buying one of those arches that can be disassembled when you don't use it anymore? Will that work? Or is there a much simpler way?

The events I host are my birthday, my husband's birthday, we recently had a child as well so we will start to host for baby's birthday too, New Year's eve, occasional Christmas day lunch.

Aiming for elegant but not plain vibe when hosting.

I appreciate the help.

I'm thinking of facilitating a webinar para sa mga fresh grads or yung magjojoin pa lang sa workforce.

It will be like "Things nobody teaches you before you enter the workforce" ganun.

Ito yung mga naisip kong ituturo:

- common practices and tips sa paghahanap ng trabaho.

- common hiring practices. Para hindi ka na magtatanong na "ganito ba talaga to?"

- common job scams.

- paano magbasa ng job offer at employment contract.

- probationary vs. regular. Contractor vs. Regular

- remote work doesnt automatically mean VA ka na.

- govt mandated benefits

- red flags sa contract

- learn the game of work type. Like how to do a good job pag may work ka na, like performance is not enough, visibility and communication matters too. How to navigate the workplace ganyan.

May magiging interested ba dito? Yung totoong information lang na magagamit talaga. How much are you willing to pay? Ayaw ko sana sobrang mahal para accessible sa mga nagsisimula pa lang. 350 ang naisip kong price, accessible ba sa inyo itong price na to? Naisip ko maybe 2 hours na session with a 15 min break in between.

Ang magtuturo ay yung kaibigan ko who does this occasionally for small schools. With more than 10yrs experience, sanay na sya sa mga ganito kaya marami syang natuturo. I've seen one of her sessions and very helpful talaga for newbies. Para syang ate mo for adulting stuff. Hindi sya content creator. She's been an applicant and a hiring manager too, may business rin. Pag kasado na to, I will add her profile dun sa sign up form para mas credible.

Title. Naghahanap kami ng pedia na responsive. Okay sana si Dr. Melody Franco very responsive sa FB kaya lang maldita mga assistants nya, ang babastos sumagot. Medyo iffy lang rin ako dahil sinabi ni doc nung may jaundice si baby na ilagay sa DIRECT sunlight then nagresearch yung husband ko ang daming studies pala na dapat indirect sunlight.

Please recommend a good pedia. Thanks!

Anyone knows someone who can teach woodworking here? I saw Wood Academy sa metro manila pero malayo kasi. Tesda naman walang inooffer. PSU need mag enroll as a full time student, hindi pedeng yung woodworking classes lang nila ang itake.

Okay sana yung Wood Academy one day lang pero ang layo for me right now. May marerecommend ba kayo? Gusto ko sana yung tamang technique eh, hindi yung ibang karpintero na basta basta lang marami na kaming nakatrabaho na ganun unfortunately.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Naghahanap ako ng book na tungkol sa business journey. Hindi yung tips na tungkol sa business but yung story sana ay from the POV of the owner who built it. Just raw story with all the ups and downs.

Naghahanap rin ako ng book about someone who has climbed the career ladder. Not just advice but sana written from the POV of the person who actually did it.

Ireregalo ko sa isang friend ko na very driven sa business and career sana. :) Thank you sa mga makakapagrecommend.

We will take my 4-month-old niece outside. First outing ng family, 4 people kami including baby. Any recommendations na ma-eenjoy nya? Maybe more on sensory stuff? Complete na yung 3 rounds of PCV20 and 6in 1, and 2 rounds of rota. We can travel by car.

Maybe Ocean park sa subic?

Thank you!

Pupunta yung brother ko sa Michigan sa US. Sabi nya baka may gusto raw akong ipabili for my child. Anong baby products ang magandang ipabili sa US na hindi nakkita dito sa PH?

Thanks!

Please be sensitive naman. For pregnant moms na nag-ooverthink na tapos makakabasa pa ng mga posts na ganun, or even the moms na nagka miscarriage before but don't want to relieve the experience, it's just terrible.

You can post here about your miscarriage, just please put a trigger warning in the post's title.

Question is the title. Sana may makatulong. :) Di ko pa kasi nasusubmit in person yung documents ko. I don't need to claim any benefits naman.

Question is the title. Sana may makatulong. :)

Asking for a friend trying to OE. Matatapos ang maternity leave nya kay J1 sa first week of July. Naprocess na nya lahat ng need ni J1 para mareimburse ni SSS kay J1. Wala na rin syang need gawin, as in mag back to work na lang sya.

​

Mag sstart sya ng J2 roughly 2 weeks after nyang bumalik sa J1. Regular job ito with benefits and all. I read somewhere here na nahuli yung isang OE dahil nagnotify sa both companies yung SSS about maternity leave.

​

So my question is: after all the process ba, may notification pang isesend si SSS kay employer about MatBen? Possible ba na magkaproblem si friend ko?

​

Thanks

Question is in the title. Wala akong makitang online tutorial pano palitan ang diaper pants. Mas madali ba yun kesa taped? Mas maraming coverage ba kesa sa taped?

Edited: Actually asking on behalf of my SIL. 3 months old yung baby nya and liquidy pooper parang peanut butter kaya nagfoflow. Tapos 7 to 8 hours matulog sa gabi kaya minsan nagfoflow sa likod nya yung ihi nya. Naka one size bigger na taped diaper and secured ang pagkakalagay ng diaper kaya iniisip if mas okay diaper pants para di magflow patalikod yung ihi? Assuming diaper pants have more coverage than taped diapers?

Asking on behalf of my SIL. My brother and SIL have a daughter na 3.5 yo potty trained na. Di sila pala-labas talaga kasi sakitin yung bata. Ngayon na gusto na nila magstart lumabas labas, di naman all the time magkakasama sila lagi so may times na si brother ko lang at anak nya.

​

Yung mga may daughter dyan, anong ginagawa ng mga husbands nyo kapag sila lang kasama ng daughter nyo sa labas tapos need ni daughter mag cr? Dinadala ba sa men's room then to cubicle? Pumapasok sa ladies room si daddy? Di kasi lahat ng establishments may mga family CRs.

​

Thank you

May mga nakapagpa aral na ba ng college/university dito sa UK or EU from PH's elementart/high school?

​

Gusto ko sanang pag aralin yung anak ko sa UK or Europe. Mas prefer ko UK kasi andun yung lolo nya (dad ko) na naturalized british citizen na.

​

Hoping for stories from people na nakagawa na nito. I want to learn from you guys. How did you prepare for it? How much ang gastos nyo?

​

Thank you!

Edited to add: Sa mga nagdownvote sakin because I asked about student loans. Chill, we're rich and have multiple rental properties. Nabanggit ko lang to dahil my dad, who is a british citizen, kept on saying na students can get this and institutions there prioritize hiring people with student loans to pay back the govt. Gusto ko lang itanong kung totoo yun sa isang tao na nag aral talaga sa UK. Pangit ng community na to akala nyo mayayaman kayong lahat.

Baby na around 3 to 6 months old.

​

Naka frogsuit ba sya? Naka terno na hiwalay na top at pajamas + socks and mittens? Onesies?

​

Yung baby ay natutulog sa airconditioned room gabi gabi.

Thanks

Sa mga may 2 or more jobs na nagreremit ng tax govt mandated contributions, anong mangyayari pag nagfile ka ng maternity leave? Manonotify ba both? What if sa isa ka lang nag file ng maternity leave?

Thanks
