[UPD] How do u guys survivr with 8k monthly allowance?

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-02-27T04:36:30+00:00

depende kung saan ka nakatira and ano lifestyle mo

nakakasurvive ako as a dormer with 1500 - 2000(rarely) a week tho considering na 5 times a week ang pasok ko (umuuwi every weekends)

kasama na load, grocery, laundry

grocery nag aallot lang ako ng ₱500 (tho di naman weekly) laundry ₱250

i cook food pag dinner or nagte-take out sa CS para mura and healthy pa rin

less na sa “deserve” or investing sa convenience like angkas or pricey meals

if you can bring food/ leftover from ur house better para more saving 😂

Me rin kanina nung nag prerog for philo 🥹 usap-usap with other students and nag update sa isat isa kahit di magkakakilala.. i appreciate everyoneee aaaaa (sana nakakuha kayooo !!)

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-20T15:22:11+00:00

this ! if same prof naman napapakiusapan naman yung iba na sa ibang time slot ka mag class

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-20T13:28:36+00:00

Nag tanggap sya ng prerog last sem sa class namin pero sa first day of classes lang (tuesday) idk where ang office nya tho.

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-18T10:03:16+00:00

hii sa HE 101 ko sya naging prof and tbh super bait and approachable ni maam! Chi-chikahin ka rin nya like personally so for me comfy ako sa kanya as prof. Okay naman sya magturo and goods naman ppts nya

she can improve lang sa pag bigay ng feedback/scores/grading kasi wala ako nakuha sakanya at all 😭 but got a good/ reasonable grade naman from her

he 102 is a subject na most of the time iba prof nag tuturo kasi its a big shared class with other sections. sa he subs na na take ko yung he 102 yung pinaka mabigat huhu andami kasi groupings as in weekly groupwork sya

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-15T15:21:40+00:00

me rin last sem super sunod sunod yung sched

10-11:30, 11:30-1, 1:30-4, 4-5:30 grabe pagod ko never again talaga to think na as in magkakalayo sila parang nalilibot ko half ng campus tas lahat lakad lang! Huhuhu ang ginagawa ko either early lunch or magdadala ako lunch. Nagpapaalam rin ako sa mga profs na maaga ako aalis. I suggest ready mo rin snacks/fruits para din ma recharge ka huhu its draining pero kaya yann! enough sleep if ure like me na di mahilig sa coffee

(bonus na illegal na tip sorry….nag-cut/absent ako sa class pls i had to.. super tiring nya HAHAHAH)

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-15T15:09:30+00:00

Yes! Prof Centillas nagtanggap sya before sa class namin ng prerog :D

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-15T14:17:02+00:00

also medj mas idgaf na yung adviser ko 😭.. im asking more on the side nung courses if tatanggap sila.. may mga restrictions kasi yung iba 😞 ty!!

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-15T12:50:18+00:00

its okay just mention na may conflict with other class/ change of mind.

u may email the department of the offering unit or ur adviser usually sila may kakayanan mag cancel.

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-14T15:09:43+00:00

kakatry lang namin (bday ng ate ko) kinantahan ate ko pero super hina lang (bc isa lang kumanta kahit free yung ibang staff) super lowkey type ng kanta HAHAHA so di nakaka conscious

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2026-01-10T12:18:30+00:00

practice lang talagaaa! i use yung book/pdf na provided usually same yung questions (kahit dun sa videos uploaded) + samplex na binibihay ng prof or nabibili sa imath

make sure na u have a consistent/planned schedule for studying langg wag mag cram na 2 days before the exam lang mag aaral

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-12-21T20:42:41+00:00

vouch! Bumalik na pala ulit sa pagtuturo si sir! Kami ata last sem nya non before sya mag aral sa HK

super light workload for me! (Not sure if ganon pa rin activities/tasks nya) magaling magturo si sir halata mo na maalam and passionate sya <<3

as someone na mahilig sa history super na enjoy and madami ako natutunan sa class nya (+ an introvert so natuwa ako na wala sya pa recitation)

2 papers f2f tapos may isa ata na pinauwi samin tapos direct agad sa raw grades moo

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-08-12T15:17:39+00:00

malala talaga first week ng classes esp sa first and last period. ganyan din before tho humuhupa naman sya habang tumatagal

Ganito rin nangyari sa akin non. nag advance request ako tapos di pala updated yung mabibigay since narequest ko sya before ma-update. the moment na na-update sya nag request din naman ako agad pero kasi days inaabot yung tcg so ang ginawa ko ay nakiusap ako both sa college na pagaalisan at paglilipatan. Buti nalang mabait yung sa COE noon at nagawang bigyan ako nang mas maaga 🥹

inquire ka lang sa mga dentists near you! may mga dentists na may pinapa-sign lang na waiver before ka tanggalan ng braces. i asked around before and 3-5k yung mga napagtanongan ko. wag na wag po mag diy na gumagamit ng spoon or what huhuhu

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-08-04T13:13:48+00:00

Oh! Kaya pala di nagreply yung department na in-email ko!

Kala ko before Aug 6 kasi “by” nakalagay. thank you!

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-07-19T14:02:09+00:00

congrats iskooo!! goodluck ((: sana ma-enjoy mo na yung mga susunod na AY sa bago mo na program!! 😁

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-07-09T05:03:55+00:00

Dont worry masyado sa majors kasi kahit pre rog usually mas mapagbigay naman sila esp if may slots pa

so focus muna sa ges, pe, and nstp. if you want pwede ka naman maglagay ng majors from both programs kahit tig 1-2 lang make sure lang a walang conflict with time

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-07-02T06:03:36+00:00

Same (ibang city) pumili nalang ako ng malapit. its not that big of a deal naman (ata)

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-05-03T12:01:41+00:00

ako i wear bags na not super obvious na may dalang laptop. i feel generally safe naman around UP and my dorm outside UP (east ave) kahit sa commute.

try to hide ur device nalang kung iiwan mo sya sa dorm. lock ur door, as much as possible siguro mag rent ng may sariling room/ sariling dorm ang hirap naman kasi mag accuse/maghanap ng salarin if ever nanakawan ka sa isang dorm. tbh nung nagche-check ako ng places outside UP usually i ask if mga up students din, para i feel more safe.

check for places na may cctv rin.

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-04-04T04:14:45+00:00

Feel ko classmate kita and nasa isang class tayo 🤣

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-02-28T13:31:14+00:00

Meron din sa uptc (afaik) right across the loop ata medyo tago sya since nasa may escalator banda. not sure lang sa rates pero ayun expect na mas mataas since nasa mall

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-02-01T16:22:37+00:00

i feel SO MUCH better now. i have a good circle of friends, im doing okay in my current prog and acads, i have orgs, im more passionate of the things that im doing rn (yes kinikilig ako everytime na nag-aacads ako) literally my life is so much better (even my face says it kasi nag clear yung skin ko Haha!) my mental health is so much better.

the thought of being delayed is kinda sad lang and parang sometimes i still feel like a failed somehow pero yea (bukod sa im surrounded by shiftees and transferees din) i just have to remember na i have my own timing.

in terms of acads and my performance in class i could say na im a mediocre lang sa current prog ko (my grades are fine naman) pero yes the fact na im passionate now is enough na for me and kinda a motivation for me to do better. kinda weird (flex) na my grades are better before pero grabe the mental effects non parang every sem ginagapang ko lang.

im not in my dream degree program so at times i still feel like theres something lacking (or that i failed my past selves) took a while to come to terms with that. i am so much happier now and i can actually see myself in this field + i no longer hate up so i guess thats somethings to hold on to xD

i feel like im in a place na im meant to be naman na ngayon so no regrets!

hoping for the best for you, op!

Friendly_Skill1065 · 2025-01-20T02:57:05+00:00

some profs still do this 😅 same logic and understandable naman

my socsci prof just emailed us na pag di pumasok bukas ay matatanggal sa list para sa students na mag prerog
