…who now study in UPD.
where do you recommend i stay? prefer ko sana mag-isa because i work from home, and more importantly ‘yung malapit sa laundry shop at karinderya dahil minsan wala na akong oras maglaba’t magluto.
my budget is 15K-16K a month. hindi naman ako tatagal sa QC dahil itong first year ko lang ‘yung may on-site classes.
i’m 25, twink na bading, at mahilig mag-aral sa 24/7 na workspaces.
hello! just wondering if you know of scholarships that offer support based, but not necessarily, on the academic merits and background i have below.
currently in my first year MA, i (under)graduated in the top 3% of my batch, topped my board exam in psychometrician, and have industry experience in educational consultancy (e.g., we prepare students of various levels to ace their admissions interviews, do editorial reviews for their application materials, and many more) and in teaching college students. i also do comprehensive survey questionnaire validation (not rating) as my private practice.
i define external scholarships as those that are not linked to any educational institution but ones that fund students with or without return of service. more ofen than not, these are non-profits or corporate entities with mandated social responsibilities.
my tuition fee is manageable (500 per unit), but i’m hoping to use the scholarships to fund my personal mini research projects and small outreach programs in underserved communities.
i thought it was easy for me to fall out of love because i’m attractive and mlm, but when i trace myself back to the memories when my exes and i were together, i somehow realized that my falling out of love was just an objective outcome of the things i tried to ignore because i loved them. it’s not because i have many options in line; it’s because deep down, i didn’t want to be with them anymore.
i would kneel on the street to pet a cat that was playful, maybe hungry. “hurry up,” they’d tell me, in a tone that reeked of impatience, and i followed suit.
why did i rush? when i was single, i had all the time to feed the strays, with no one telling me to hurry up “because it’s too hot outside.”
i thought it was not big deal, but now…maybe it really is a quality that i shouldn’t *discuss* with them to posess because i find it fake to manufacture compassion toward animals, and maybe that absent desire to kneel with me for a few minutes and talk with the cat says a lot about our incompatibility, which i shoud listen to.
madami ba nakaka-grad on time sa program, or they are the minority? i’m asking because the answer can somehow hint on what i should expect of the rigor — maybe even lead me to more questions seeking the closest reason for either case, or at least clarify if i am really committed to the unspoken delays inherent to it.
the people i know are still in their first/second year, kaya i don’t have any idea yet.
i am not expecting this to be an easy route, but i don’t see myself doing this for more than 5 years, so…
🥲
hello! can anyone recommend specific MA programs that, upon completion, produce tangible impact on mental health, policies, et cetera.
i appreciate theory-driven programs, but i envision an MA/PhD journey beyond criticizing theories or finding synthesized gaps; i want something that improves lives cross-cultures.
i’d also appreciate recommendations on scholarships that find huge merit in topping the nationwide licensure (psychometrician), obtaining latin honors, and having ~2-year work experience in the education/training/test development field.
i have no legitimate undergraduate publications under my belt, only podium presentations college-wide.
please let me know if you have any lead in mind! thanks so much.
hi po,
just want to ask if i can commit to my new job in the government while having two IC jobs (U.S and PH).
‘yung current full time ko po sa PH ay nag-suggest na gawin na lang nila akong IC and reduce my working hours to 2 hours a day, or “whatever works” for me. on top of this, may IC din ako na U.S.-based. flexible naman din ito.
ayoko rin pong iwanan ‘yung jobs ko now dahil maayos naman sila at nagagamit ko mga natutunan ko sa university, pero i am also curious about working in the government, and i really like the role i got accepted in. they are also my safety nets na rin in case i eventually realize the government is not for me.
i’m wondering if may same sa ‘kin and is able to pull it off. may legal repercussions ba? nasa SG 13 lang naman po ito, hindi officer level, if that matters.
i’m a newly minted psychometrician (passed my licensure a few months ago), and i happen to have developed an interest in survey validation and survey method (i’m really excited to take this course in my MA this august).
in my current project on Microsoft Excel, i am exploring CVI computations, specifically I-CVI and UA for each item in my questionnaire, then i would simply compute for the S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA; i have no further concerns for as long as there is only one domain/construct with set of items trying to reflect that single domain/construct.
my concern arises when i think of a scenario where i have to validate a survey questionnaire with two or more domains measuring different constructs. do i simply compute the average of all the items and call it scale-level content validity or do i compute the CVI for each domain, or do i do both?
i think what i am really worried here is about the first part; if it’s psychometrically defensible and logical to compute for or average the CVI of all items in one go.
i’d really love to hear your thoughts on this!
hi! anyone who took this course? were you taught how to write and validate a survey from scratch? i’d love to hear any insights you might have on this.
i’m planning to take this as one of my electives to complement my work as a psychometrician in the research and test development field.
thanks so much!
buenas, pregunta era yo si donde ustedes ta esta si talya na quezon city.
ta busca por eso yo bueno lugar, 1 room lang para de mio cuerpo; also, tiene ba organization para de zamboangueños na UPD?
i’m starting my law school this august.

hello po. i’ve grown up from a very poor family. nasa laylayan. tatlo kaming magkakapatid, ako (25) ‘yung bunso. we still are poor kahit nakapagtapos na kaming lahat.
since their childhood, my parents (now in their 60s) have been cooking via “pugon.” kahoy lagi gamit namin sa pagluluto, minsan charcoal. ultimo pag-init ng tubig, ang tagal matapos. naalala ko lagi akong nale-late noong elementary at high school dahil wala pang mainit na tubig.
sa awa ng diyos, i graduated last 2024 and landed on an okay-paying job. on top of my fulltime, may dalawang part-time rin po akong nahanap at nagko-commission. currently, may savings po ako na ₱300K at balak ko na pong bumili ng cooking appliance na multi-purpose; siguro oven at airfryer or electric stove? alin po ba ang best?
‘wag po mag-aalala, hindi ako magtitipid para dito, kaya i would appreciate any recommendation. gusto ko lang maranasan din namin ‘yung best convenience na pwedeng maranasan sa pagluluto. 🥲 ilang dekada na kaming nagluluto sa usok at abo. gusto ko na rin ‘tong itigil.
ang gusto ko po sana ay airfryer o multi-purpose oven pero hindi ko alam kung maganda ba siya sa pagluluto. thank you in advance sa suggestions.
