Hi, gusto ko lang magrant. I'd love to hear your insights about this din but please no rude comments.

We opened a printing business and lotto last August 14, 2025. It has been more than a year now. The sales are really low but enough naman to pay for rent, electricity, and employees. Take home pay siguro around 7-8k.

We hired our first employee, "R" and lagi ko siya sinasamahan kapag wala akong pasok sa work. She asks me questions about my tumbler, skincare and anything about what I use. Parang ang sales namin nung una 100 pesos to 200 pesos per day. Kaya siya finire is because wala na nga ginagawa, cellphone lang nang cellphone imbis magbilang for inventory, pero di pa rin talaga. Everyday.

Now, let me tell you about "C". This girl owns a chocolate shop. I was so happy na meron sa palengke so mga twice a week ako bumibili. I also did resell yung chocolates at work and she never.. never gave me any discount as a reseller kahit 5 pesos or isang piso haha. But I didn't mind. Nasa isip ko lang kahit 200 pesos lang kinita ko sa bente kataong nabentahan ko, okay lang because I helped.

Then R met C. Chinika ni R lahat ng nasa business namin, mga moments na napagalitan siya dahil di ginagawa trabaho. Tapos nagkumpulan yung mga babae na may ibang stalls. They talked about us a lot. I knew everything because our employee for 5 years talks to R.

Everytime may bago kami, si C laging pupunta daw sa pwesto para kumuha daw ng information about samin. Sinabi mismo ng employees namin.

Bumili nga lang kami bigas sa alfamart habang bumibili rin siya, lumapit the next day sa mom ko telling her sakanila na lang daw bumili dahil nakita niya sa alfamart kami bumibili.

God, if only I can kwento everything. We've had a lot of good employees, lahat umalis to study. We also had sooo bad employees to the point that we had to visit the barangay about what she did. Madami pa.

Itong current employee namin, "S", magaling naman at first. Mabilis matuto. After a week, ayan na haha naglalaro nalang. Di na tumatayo kapag may customer, nakaupo nalang tapos nakataas pa paa. My dad tried to correct yung pagtaas ng paa tapos bare foot pa talaga. Di rin nakinig. Hinayaan nalang.

But this one particular thing, nagalit ako. Di ako nagagalit na tao pero sobrang abusado. Yung wifi namin for our personal use and for the PC. Mommy got shocked bakit naubos agad load, wala pang one month. Very unusual for us. So I checked, and guess what? Nakaconnect siya. Binantayan ko ng dalawang linggo. Nakikita ko naglalaro siya, parang ML pa during her duty. We don't mind naman if they use their phones basta walang customer. Iphone una. I blocked it and removed her personal access. The next day, nagdala ng ipad. Nakaconnect na naman. They have this randomized MAC filter address something so I can't block her kahit naglagay na rin ako whitelist.

Alam kong alam na niya na alam namin because of how many times she reconnected sa pagalis ko ng access.

Today, sumulpot ako bigla sa another pwesto namin kung nasaan siya for the meantime because we went out. Pagkita niya, dali dali niya tinago ipad niya sa trash can (clean) na binebenta namin. Mommy came, when she looked away, kukunin na dapat ipad tapos lumingon si mommy sinara ulit. She used the command prompt to get the password.

When I opened the site, nakaconnect both iphone and ipad niya. Dun na ko nagburst out pero calm pa rin. I told the gc, umamin ka na. Buti pa yung iba marunong magpaalam. Ikaw, ginamit mo pa talaga for personal use. Lalaro? Tama ba yun?

Our employee for 5 years said di niya alam sino. I trust her naman, never siya cumonnect not even once. But this girl, we know her. Di siya aamin. Nakita ni mommy sa cctv tinatanggal wifi both device. I then checked the site, wala na.

I don't have trust, I'm sorry, but I'll check this every now and then. Sana makahanap na kapalit. Ang dami daming problema ni S. Sa buong isang taon, sakaniya lang laging sira lahat.

Is she worth keeping? Nakakapagod pala mga tao sa palengke. Meron mga maayos. Meron mga pakielamera. Meron inggetera. Meron mga bastos. Meron mga magugulo. Meron nananakit ng hayop (I hate them so much!) Mas napapagod pa ko dito kesa sa office. Ganito ba talaga?

It's hard for me to go to my dentist from Mandaluyong 😔

I'm looking for a nice dentist in Bacoor, huhu I hope there is one.

Hello, please be nice with your comments. Naaaning na ko, dalawang linggo na. (If it matters, I have bad mental health problems - I'm on mood stabilizers and antipsychotics)

I own cats and dogs tapos madalas sila sa dirty kitchen namin kasi mas malamig ata yung sahig dun. Yung dirty kitchen namin, may area sa dulo na puno puno ng gamit from our previous resto. Naayos (pero di pa rin ganun) nung January ata. Anyway, 2nd week of June around gabi biglang may kumalabog sa roof ng dirty kitchen namin. Mga around 6pm to 7pm.

Tapos around 8pm to 9pm, may narinig na sound si mommy sa likod. Hindi namin sure kung sa dirty kitchen OR kabilang bahay since magkadikit yung likod ng two houses. She told me, "Parang tunog ng ahas o palaka."

A few days later, we were eating lunch biglang tumunog. It was so weird. Sabi ni daddy "parang ahas". Tapos that week din, ako kasi naglilinis sa likod ng pinagkainan ng dogs and everything.. tapos may mabilis na ahas papunta sakin. Sobrang takot ko grabe. Tapos after some time, narealize ko it's all in my mind. Segway ko lang, I've been seeing flies and insects kahit wala sila recently haha.

So far from 2nd week to now, mga nasa 4x lang tumunog but it doesn't stop me from being so scared. Tatakot ako sa thought na baka makain cats and dogs ko. I even posted sa SNAKE PHILIPPINES ID something, asked the admins if there's a snake sound.. sabi nila hissing lang. When I talked to a snake rescuer, they told me there is.

Please, ayoko na. Ang mahal ng sinisingil nung snake rescuer to check the area (which is valid naman haha risky situation eh). I'm unemployed and naaaning na talaga ako.

Sorry, please be nice. Baka meron may alam sa snakes dyan. Please share huhu

I got downvoted sa rantandvent 😔 feel ko this is the sub who will understand me

Hello! Saan po may dog cake sa bacoor area? Preferably sa panapaan or molino area. Masayado na po kasing malayo yung iba. Pero can consider naman po, please comment.

Hello. Bago lang ako sa reddit, nasa 7 months pa lang ata ako and hindi pa ganun ka-active since may days na nagdedelete ako.

Question lang po (genuine question), please avoid harsh comments kasi gusto ko lang maintindihan.

Bakit po madaming galit dito? 😅

Gets ko kasi kapag mali talaga sinabi nung tao eh. Pero minsan, sinasagot mo lang ng experience mo, downvoted ka na. Minsan, cinocomfort mo lang yung OP kasi nagooverthink na sa sinasabi ng mga taga reddit sakaniya kahit wala naman mali sa post niya, downvoted ka na rin.

Sorry, di ko lang po magets. And yes, nasa mid 20s pa lang po ako if it matters.

I just woke up and mommy broke the news to me. The cats, the cats I've been feeding for a year, are nowhere to be found.

Pagpunta nila mommy sa palengke, kumalat na yung chismis galing mismo sa mga employees namin. Sila ang nagkalat. Na kesyo kinagat daw si ganto, ganyan kahit hindi naman.

Nakagat siya dahil sinipa/inapakan niya. Nadulas yung isang employee namin. Ilang beses tinanong ng nanay ko kung ano ginawa niya sa pusa at nakagat siya, at sabi niya wala daw. Napakasinungaling. Nanggigil kami. Kung madali lang maghanap ng bagong employee, pinaalis ko na sila kahapon pa.

Sa lahat ng nakatingin samin habang pinapakain yung mga pusa sa palengke na sinabihan pa kami "hala pinapakain yung mga pusa". Hindi ko tinigil pagpapakain sakanila.

My heart breaks. Nagalit pa sakin sa isang subreddit dahil pinapapasok ko daw ang mga pusa at pinapakain pa.

People will never understand us.

Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan tong dalawang employee ko, at lahat ng nakisali sa chismis para mawala mga pusang napalapit na sa puso ko.

Sa loob ng isang taon, never nakagat yung mga employee namin na kasama namin since magopen. At itong dalawang bagong chismosa na walang malasakit? Bago lang sila pero nakagat na agad yung isa.

If you'll ask me, bakit hindi mo kinuha? Gustong gusto ko man, ang dami ko na pong alaga sa bahay. Nagpapakain din ako sa mga dumadating na pusa dito.

How can I move on from this? I don't know what do to. Galit na galit ako.

Hello po! Ask lang po saan may free anti-rabies sa Bacoor area?

Nasearch ko po kasi need ng philhealth ata para maging free?

Problem/Goal: I want to give him a gift but I don't know what item I should buy.

Context: Today is his birthday. Hirap na hirap ako magbigay ng regalo kasi sakto lang naman kami and mayaman sila. He can buy anything naman basta sasabihin niya sa mom niya. We had a celebration today kasama buong family. My dad gave him money to reserve ata something about GTA.

We're not that close too pero may alam naman ako tungkol sa kanya pero vague lang haha. He's like my favorite cousin sa mom side kasi yung kapatid niya medyo matapobre 😅 siya, humble and sweet. Mas sumasama siya samin minsan kesa sa kapatid niya haha

He likes coffee and loves to play video games. I think since unemployed ako, more on coffee sana na recommendations. Araw araw kasi siya nagkakape. Meron sila espresso machine. Complete yung items niya sa house nila.

Baka may marerecommend kayo? Yung nice for an 18 year old boy. 🥹

Yung sakto lang po haha yung affordable

Hi! I asked my dentist about this. Sabi niya, though kailangan, hindi na raw siya nagdidiscount since low price naman daw yung binabayaran ko.

To dentists: nagbabawas po ba kayo? Kasi alam ko po, isa yun sa mga perks pag PWD?

I was 50kg last time. It was a healthy weight. I had clear skin. This was all last August 2025.

After the attempt and the meds were changed, the diagnosis is now different. My mental illness did progress.

I became overweight. From 50 kg to 65 kg until now. Why? I developed hypothyroidism because of Lithium. I also became fat because of my antipsychotics. I now have very bad acne because of again, Lithium. My seborrheic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis flares up every now and then.

Imagine having all those while struggling with bipolar 1. Impulsiveness, getting mad all the time, depression, sudden burst of being hyper.. All of that while being unemployed since September 2025.

All my savings went down the drain from being admitted to a psych ward facility twice. I didn't want to be a burden, so I offered to help somehow.

Nakakapagod na rin.. Ang hirap nung sunod sunod na problema tapos wala ka pang pera. Hindi ko na rin alam paano babangon ulit at makabawi sa lahat ng sakripisyo ng mga magulang ko.

Disclaimer: I'm not allowed to work. I asked my psychiatrist baka pwede na since ilang buwan na, ubos na savings and ang dami ko responsibilities (2 insurance, cats, dogs, etc.) But she asked me, kaya ko daw ba? Sabi ko I'm trying pero minsan wala ako sa mood and I won't do the task at all. Gustong gusto ko na, I swear. I'm trying to fight it but sometimes it's stronger than my will to change it.

If you have any bad things to say, just scroll up.

Please be nice. If you have any bad things to say, just keep it for yourself. Scroll nalang.

Hi. I've had mental illnesses since 2020, but it worsened last September 2025 to the point that I'm not allowed to talk to friends or anyone else. I'm only allowed to be with family members. I wasn't allowed to work as well (yes, until now).

Since then, I haven't been taking care of myself. My meds were the reason why I gained weight so fast. From 50kg last August 2025 to 65 kg this month. I've never had any acne problems since then, but when one of my meds was increased, it worsened.

I just want to ask lang po, baka you have any tips para hindi magamoy o magmukhang maasim. I'm willing na kasi labanan katamaran ko sa pagaayos kahit may episodes ako.

Hi!

I am under my sister's canva educ. Today, she received an email that the account will be closed for good.

My dilemma is.. how am I going to switch to Canva Pro if all my designs are under Canva Educ? Is there a way to transfer all designs to my Canva Pro while using the same account/email address?

Hello. It's my first time to get a credit card sa BPI. Well, I didn't want it naman pero I felt like I can use it if emergency arises. It's the Free+ one, yung NAFFL. Of course, mababa pa po yung credit limit. Okay lang sakin.

The question po is (please bear with me, first time ko lang po huhu) should I use it po even once? Sa grocery? Or pwede if meron nalang emergency? I don't go out that much po kasi.

Hello. Huhu. I'm so scared. Two days ago, may nalaglag na galing sa taas ng bahay namin. Narinig ko kasi kumalabog sa dirty kitchen area. Tapos that night din, mga after an hour, may narinig si mommy na sound. Hindi niya alam saan nanggagaling.

The sound daw is parang sa ahas OR sa palaka. Then today, while we were eating.. meron ulit huhu tatlong beses pa. And feeling namin nasa dirty kitchen siya.

Yung dirty kitchen kasi namin puno nung mga gamit na galing sa dating resto business namin. And may part na lutuan na namin.

Pumapasok naman yung dogs namin sa dirty kitchen and nagtatago pa nga minsan sa mga ilalim ng racks. I'm just scared na baka ahas.

What should we do sa ganitong situation?

Hi po sa lahat dito.

2024 kami unang nagmeet ng dentist ko. I was kind of "fat" back then. Lagi niya sinasabi magpapayat daw ako, tumataba taba na ako. The reason why I was fat that time is because I'm taking antipsychotics, specifically olanzapine.

I laughed it off lang kahit every meeting niya yan sinasabi.

2025, I became fit kasi I worked my way nung 2024 para pumayat ako. I didn't like kasi what I looked like year 2024. I never heard comments from him at this time.

Came September 2025, I had an attempt. I got admitted twice in a psych ward facility and my meds were changed. From 50kg to 65kg by 2026.

Guess what? I hear his comments EVERYTIME we meet kasi nga ang laki na ulit ng tinaba ko because of my new meds. His comments were "Magdiet ka ha." "Tama na sugar, lumalaki laki ka na." "Yogurt at salad nalang kainin mo para healthy."

Napagod nalang ako. Thankful to God I have my retainers now. Baka sa ibang dentista nalang ako bumalik. Kahit may PWD ID ako, never ako nabigyan discount.

Salamat nalang, doc.
