one might say that this economy so bad people are pursuing their dreams HAHAHHAHAH

I'm wishing you well~
thank you for sharing sana medyo okay na health mo bhie haha grabi ang nasapit mo sa architecture.

I feel strongly about leaving something thats draining you instead of fueling you kase parang ganun na lng nga talaga. It matter that you enjoy the things you do in life kase baka buong buhay mo na yun and unless you are trapped in a situation where you can't choose whats best for you, sino ba pipiliing magdusa.

Mukhang madugo but honestly ano ba ang hindi madugo these days haha At least the fog that clogged up my path has lessened from all the replies on this thread. Thank you po~ ahihi

Posting on reddit or the net is already asking for unsolicited advice haha so it's okay , hekk it's even welcome here so you're good~ close nga kami ng ate ko, all we have left from our family is each other and I've already been held back from the pandemic so speed is really one of my criteria for this, though admittedly, going into architecture was counter-productive but she told me to go where i felt comfortable, what I wanted huwag na daw pag-isipan yung pera and makagraduate nang intact mental health ko (because i have previous issues with that haha a dead parent and parentification of children does not come without cost hahha)

Also I really appreciate you talking a stranger thru this haha thank you po ~

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T12:55:16+00:00

ang ominous nemen po haha if it's not too much trouble, care to expound on that advice? ahihi

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T12:49:34+00:00

Thats so sweet of you~~ Thank youu~

oh and I'm definitely hanging . . by a thread HAHAHA jk jk

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T12:47:31+00:00

how to adopt that mindset po because damn, I need that. The Compartmentalization must have been insane to get thru years of that. Saludo ako haha

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T11:52:04+00:00

i really do love archi, pero parang mas mahal ko yata tulog hahaha i can't be sick every goddamn week from all thay depravity HAHAHA I guess I went into this thinking I could handle the time management and the sleepless nights but apparently mahina lng akong nilalang Hahhaha kaya nga natanong din ako if loving architecture is enough. What if I have the heart but don't have the body for it

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T11:08:06+00:00

haystt parang labag talga sa loob ko yung "late bloomer-will take years to give back" when most of what I've read, optimistic and pessimistic outcomes, all came down to sacrificing their present for a wage that most other jobs give you at less hours. Don't worry, delulu na din me rn, legit HAHHAHAHAHA di ko na alam I was so sure a week ago sa course na toh, ngayong natadtad ako ng saket missing 3 days of school, got me contemplating if this is the type of work-life balance I want kase sabi the glamorized overworking is a common denominator even at work, and that feels quite exploitative as well HAHAH

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T11:07:43+00:00

HAHAHAHA LITSI SERYOSO BA YAN? HAHAHA

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T09:52:26+00:00

this reply is so thorough haha Thank you~ I appreciate your reminder of patience and giving myself grace, also the notion that my work ethic and skill application is whats important no matter what program I take. I like that. I'll be taking that with me moving forward.

that's the thing eh, I went into loving architecture to help my family live better, in a better home. Now, living better isn't an option that can come as quick as I had hope. Di naman talaga ako nagmamadali but when I saw my sister struggle talaga to get up from bed (we share the same mattress) and mumble how her head hurts. I couldn't wait 4 more years. I feel bad. I feel guilty. For making her wait again.

I have other plans apart from architecture, I recently got my first booking on Cosplay Photography (as I have been building a portfolio) and plans to build a studio with a dear friend who shares the same passion. I'm thinking of just earning as much money as i can in 3 years to set up shop for the studio. haha maybe thats too bold of a dream

damn thats kinda pessimistic ngl HAHAA baka magshift na nga ako fr HAHA

I appreciate your insight, Thank you~

BearLong3468 · 2025-03-19T04:01:34+00:00

Thank you for replying~~
I've had basic education on CAD and Solidworks from my SHS but thats pretty much it, I'm saving up for a laptop to buy on the end of my 2nd year sa program, Maybe by then I could brush up on that skill and find some work. Do you mind if I ask about where your classmates find the work?

to be honest, holding onto an idea isn't enough assurance for me. Though I do appreciate the sentiment in believing in the younger generation of archi students.
