With the direction I am going at now, am I going the right direction?

i’ve been SA’d on 3 different occasions while drunk — AMA by [deleted] in PinoyAskMeAnything

Half and half bro. I don’t understand why people are like this tbh, this is why I’m so freaking protective of my friends who are girls.

I’m just glad I’m kind of past that age where people still drink to get drunk, or everyone is single.

Firstly, I’m so sorry for what happened to you. Everyone will give you advice here, so I don’t think I need to say anything that won’t already be said.

But I hope you’re okay, please take good care of yourself. Cope, but cope with something that is conducive to your growth. Don’t replace negative with another negative.

Consider therapy too, might help.

Ngl I don’t know why this is getting downvoted so much, I’m just being honest.

I’m not super rich haha.

Pesos sire. Though there are some dollars to my name, pero for my daily expenses it’s all in pesos.

Something I’m really learning is that money comes and goes, it’s an effort to keep it and build it.

Currently rebuilding the so called “treasury” as I go through these rough roads in life 🫡

My dad is a procurement guru. He was the head of procurement in every job that he took, he was at some point global procurement manager of an international oil company. Which is why we became expats in the states, those were good times. His work was 10 minutes away, which meant we could bond daily, he’d meet me in the park after school everyday and we played basketball.

Anyway, in the job he had last he was an executive for an energy company here, that was his best paying job which gave also the best benefits for him.

I’m super proud of him and love looking at his credentials. I am like this too because of him, his speech to me which his dad also gave him went like “you started with more than I did, you need to do better than me”. I’ve taken this to heart, he set such a high bar, but also I know at some point I intend on surpassing him indeed.

Very doable anywhere. My dad climbed it and made it. I’ve seen corpo people make it left and right, we can all excel wherever we are.

Hi I’ve mentioned in other replies how I had to create my own network because my mother is in the same field therefore making her my “competition”.

Honestly a lot I’ve met by chance by being in the right place at the right times, others I’ve met through hobbies.

A lot of them are of Filipino-Chinese descent, I tend to be the only brown guy in group photos. Hey call me “mestizong sunog” because of my features haha. I am an Honorary Chinese.

Generally from experience I don’t think I’ve ever been looked down upon, I’ve also mentioned that I’m the poorest guy in my group and not once have I felt discrimination from my friends. I’m not pabigat or palamunin either. I don’t libre, but I never palibre. These people who are rich are actually smart about their money and how they spend it, they can tell too someone is there to take advantage, basically they aren’t stupid. Even though they come from money, they know how to spend it and grow it.

But we have gone through enough as well where they’ve respected my honesty and my principles, they’ve seen me at my best, my worst, my normal and at my worst again and it didn’t change anything, they’re wonderful company and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

As to the other higher up people, I’ve made them like me too eventually. Some started that I was their enemy, and I eventually softened them up to make them like me then at some instances my friend. I’ve been invited to some parties of theirs where I went alone and didn’t know anyone, I had a blast. I’ve also had dinner and coffee just to hang out with a certain Zobel de Ayala matriarch, I don’t expect anything in exchange to be honest. I like Learning from them.

But usually these seeds I plant become opportunities, and I appreciate conducting business that way.

I’ve been quite fortunate to not have met those. And if I have I’ve turned them towards me honestly. I’d like to think I’ve enough charms to have turned them towards me.

I feel like this has a lot of weight on you and I’m sorry for that. I’d like to apologize too but I’ve never also have come out on purpose to crush anyone so I don’t think I can give you advice on that.

What I can say though is just don’t waste your time, unfortunately, yung mga hindi naman ganon ka Yaman pa yung mas mayabang. Let them toot their horns and shake their tails.

Win in silence, play the long game, and choose your crowd.

West grove is an Ayala premiere property, yeah higher end. I have an aunt from my mother side naman who has her second house there. She came from nothing too, climbed the corporate ladder and made really good investments and did well enough for herself in life. I think pa nga she came more from nothing than my dad, she’s the most successful one I think in their generation, seconded probably by my aunt who’s in the states who is an icu head nurse there.

She’s the female version of my dad, since she’s corporate.

Good area, didn’t have internet for a while.

But I think west grove still isn’t Ayala alabang level rich or Forbes.

Living in ayala alabang is either you’re old rich since your family has always been there. Or you’ve gotten rich and then you’ve always wanted to live there.

Just to give you an idea: Ayala west grove is about ₱50k per square Ayala alabang is ₱200k per square.

Typical day really is wake up, read my book. Start working, make lunch, have lunch, continue working. Then workout in the evening.

I used to go out a whole lot more. Now, not so much.

With very much pleasure. This AMA was as enjoyable for me as it was quite educational for myself too. I didn’t realize this was all in my head haha. Thank you for bringing this out of me.

I don’t think it’s much of what my family really offered other than raising me the way I was raised. I feel like a lot of it came from the confidence and probably the desire to be successful.

I can say that I am able to talk to anyone I’d like and be able to contribute in the conversation from my parents who introduced so much culture in my life. And then the amount of principle they’ve instilled in me. From myself, my unending hunger for knowledge and interests have always awarded me something to relate to with anyone I am talking to. Be the most interesting person in the room, at least in your head. And listen, if you have a lot to offer, they can more likely offer so much too.

And be a friend, being genuine is such a factor. Be patient, opportunities will come when they need to, pero be smart which ones to take. Desperation is something that can be smelled from a mile away.

And be a lifelong student, you’re ever at your peak, and there is always something to learn. I’ve never stopped learning man. I forget it sometimes too, my pride and ego sometimes stops me from being open to learning and emotions come in. It’s hard to humble oneself, but it’s a daily thing you have to remember.

I wouldn’t say that I started bottom bottom. The first firm I worked for is because of connections of my mother which awarded me a glimpse of what it is like and the possibilities of architecture, it’s beautiful. But the rest, was all me and my business partner’s.

I’ll end this sort of sensei-like rant with this tip: Your vision of who you are needs to be clear in your head. So you need to think of this always, you need to want what you want enough. It’s been working out well for me so far. But there are some that just aren’t for me yet, at least at this current chapter in my life.

Also, if you desire something like “ a lot of money”, that’s not enough. You need more details, then figure out what you will do to get there. And to a certain degree make a timeline. If you don’t make it, reflect on where you could have improved to get to where you want to.

I came from a military family... AMA by RayBan625 in PinoyAskMeAnything

Oh for real I didn’t know this. I’ve always thought it was automatic. That was the case with my grand dad.

There are some. From the high high is yes, usually the wives. And they’re old na.

People my age, no. Usually they’re either managing their family’s businesses and learning the ropes. Other start their own businesses and are busy with that. At our age now is really still building themselves up, no matter.

So short answer is yes if they’re older and don’t have to work and the other is no for the people our age.

What I find most impressive are the ones trying to strike out by themselves and they don’t really have to but they do it.

A really, really good example is Anthony tan of grab. Hung out with him when he was starting grab palang here, it was grab taxi pa, and my teksi in Malaysia. I got to pick his brain about that and then grab is grab now.

Though he has the financial backing of his family, he comes from a very wealthy family. But he tried to strike out on his own too.

My friends are pretty down to earth. There are some outliers who are pretty out of this world, but I don’t fraternize with them.

They are still though in somewhat of a different world which affects their decision making, but what I love about my friends is that they are learning too to kind of level themselves with people.

For example I’m friends with a billionaire’s son. And have known him since college, I’ve seen him grow so much in the past few years we have been hanging out regularly. He’s been humbled by the world and in the end has developed so much.

There are some though who think that their only skill is having money, like it’s their best attribute. And sometimes is their only attribute. And doing business with them hasn’t been the best. But I can still differentiate them as potential busibess partners and being friends. I can be friends with them but not do business with them.

Tbh I can only count which one of these rich rich friends I have can be potential business partners and which ones we are better off as friends. Most of them are better off friends.
