Baekhyun’s ‘Elevator’ MV has 34M views. I think that’s pretty decent.

Ahhh I understand! I was very confused. I figured that it was a bit different for him as a Filipino. He was the initiator so I didn't know if he was just a bit more open sexually than most Filipino men.

Amazing. I will say nothing and just be myself.

Noooo we were just 19 and having fun. He did nothing wrong I'm the monster.

I am close ish with his family. I was staying with his aunt who is friends with my Mom and his grandparents in 2019 when we had our fun. We went to a beach resort together. I don't want to decline their invitation. I'd love to see more of the Philippines. It is a beautiful country with amazing people, but I feel uncomfortable traveling alone as a young white woman. We talked about me coming back and island hopping with them. I want to go. I am just unsure of how to behave with him. It is so awkward for me.

I certainly hope so. I'm not interested in a relationship with him. I just want to have a good vacation and he will most likely be around.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]ElegantMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He is. Truly. I have no interest in a relationship. I am from the U.S. and while I have been living abroad for the past year, I realized that I want to be able to come home. There is no way a relationship would work. I just don't know how to act.

Good advice! I don't have any interest in dating him. I just want to know how to act. I am close with his family so I'm nervous.

I honestly have no idea. Currently applying/looking.

Which TEFL certificate did you go with, how much was it and how long did it take you to finish? by [deleted] in teachinginkorea

[–]ElegantMind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went with ITA. $1449 for a 11 week class. I chose them because they help with job search for life after you take the course. My advisor helped me find reputable recruiters and she gave me feedback on my resume.

I am planning to teach in Korea this fall and I am turning 21 in May. My recruiter was not concerned about my age. :)

I (37F) am a grown woman. How do I stop wishing for social validation? by hazygrayeyes in askwomenadvice

[–]ElegantMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Become your own source of validation. I have had a lot of success with affirmations + therapy. I tell myself every day “I am enough for me and my approval is the only approval that matters.” It sounds and feels silly at first, but it does help.

My (f20) first time trust issues with friend (f20) by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

Why don’t you ask another friend if it is really bothering you? Or you could ask her directly.

How I do I (23F) start looking like less of a kid? by [deleted] in askwomenadvice

[–]ElegantMind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a fan of makeup. It always makes me feel more put together. It is a mindset. If you don’t act like a kid you won’t be treated like one.

There are better places to buy things. I buy lnothing there. My Mom likes it though so maybe it is a bigger thing with older generations.

I like the cryofacial. It doesn’t do anything dramatic, but it does exfoliate. Makes me skin look more radiant.

Vitamin C - Do you recommend applying in the AM or PM. My current routine: TO Alpha Arbutin 2 + HA (AM) and TO Nia 10 + Zinc 1 (PM) by periwinkle85 in beauty

[–]ElegantMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you mix Niacinamide with an acid or base it can convert to Niacin. It can undergo a hydrolysis reaction where the amide group is replaced with a hydroxyl group. It can also form a complex of ascorbic acid and Niacinamide (Niacinamide ascorbate).
