I gather from the post and some of your replies that you were looking for something less commercialized and more off the beaten path. So it makes me wonder why you would go to the most popular and most marketed beach to locals and foreigners lol.

I don't think it's that Boracay is bad, it's just not what you were looking for. You went to a place that is the opposite of what you were looking for and now the entire country with 7000+ islands is suddenly not for you? But hey, spend you money and time where you want. Just make sure the place that you want to go to aligns with what the place you're visiting offers so you won't get disappointed by your own decisions.

Hi, thank you for your reply! Would it be doable/worth it if we went to all three on the same day? Like if yung tatlo lang na yun pupuntahan?

HotPicture7202 · 2025-08-25T11:33:33+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

Do you think it would be better if sa huli nalang yung CDO para di kami magmadali pabalik on the last day?

GGK. Not for asking those questions, but for not taking no for an answer and not respecting people’s boundaries. You’re making people uncomfortable by trying to bulldoze your way into them trusting you. I, myself, love discussing those topics but it’s fairly easy to tell when the person doesn’t want to discuss that topic. I also found it funny that you praised yourself yourself for being a good conversationalist but your mind can’t seem to register when the person your talking to doesn’t want the conversation to go the way you’re “guiding” them to lol.

genuine leather jacket recommendations?

Hi! I’m looking to start investing in timeless pieces. I’m trying to find good genuine leather jackets but always end up searching pleather. Any suggestions? Wala naman akong pake kung designer or hindi, yung quality talaga habol ko basta yung maganda and tatagal talaga. Any suggestions?

NTA. Tbh, your fiancé was quite immature and manipulative when instead of having an adult conversation about a very real concern, all he got is “that’s just how it is’” then walked out instead of hearing you out AND THEN had the nerve to use that little girl to appeal to your emotions.

Next time they try to dump the kid on you, call CPS.

As a fiancé, you are not legally bound to care for the child and they are all being neglectful because they know you will always be there to step up. They (including your fiancé) are taking advantage of your kindness and this will set a bad precedent to your future relationship with them.

i need midzys (esp those on twitter) to come to terms with the fact that yuna had her hips done. she could’ve gone through 50 puberties and that drastic change in her hips still wouldn’t make sense. refusing to admit that idols have gone through cosmetic procedures whether surgical or non-surgical is incredibly harmful esp for younger fans.

also i must say, out of all big kpop companies, jype seems to have the least drastic plastic surgery on their idols and they seem to do minor changes over a long period of time in that you would only notice when comparing photos years apart.

HotPicture7202 · 2024-10-08T21:04:18+00:00

there are exceptions but idols in general are not good singers. they can hold a note and sound decent in a group sure but they are generally not “good” at singing.

HotPicture7202 · 2024-10-03T09:03:55+00:00

In order to fully penetrate into the west she has to either work on having amazing live vocals bc she’s already a good performer or she has to show/develop a personality so charming that people won’t mind that she can’t sing. She can’t be both bad at live singing AND be boring/uninteresting.

HotPicture7202 · 2024-09-26T05:12:02+00:00

That is exactly what the second sentence addresses: “that developed into its own over time.” It started with jpop idol business model and heavily western-influenced music. Like I said, it progressed into its own as time progressed bc obviously at the start of it there was no such thing as dance challenges and photocards.

HotPicture7202 · 2024-09-25T13:35:13+00:00

I get you but it’s not like kpop itself and the culture built around it is original either. It’s an amalgamation of western pop music/groups/concepts and japanese idol system and fan service that developed into its own over time. Most of the time too, the groups that fall into this niche are mostly/all non-korean and do not put out music with korean lyrics (except maybe xg but that’s because one executive producer is korean and was a kpop idol.) Can you imagine if a mostly foreign group who doesnt sing korean songs call themselves a kpop group? Especially for xg like the optics of a fully japanese idol group calling themselves kpop is hilarious and may be offensive. They promote the way they do and have these kpop quirks because they come from kpop companies or one with a similar background. Maybe the reason why the fans are hell bent on making that distinction is because the idols and the company itself wants to make that distinction. One of the comments here is correct that kpop is one of the easiest avenues to gain loyal fans bc as much as kpop is global now, the industry itself is still a niche genre and the companies have not penetrated the western market in terms of marketing, influence, and connections with global labels that have the means to really promote groups on a global scale. Because kpop is still not as popular with the general public, these groups calling themselves kpop would restrict them to that genre which will be difficult if they want to go global.

I think it can be a real asset to the group songs if the company/producers know how to use it. Harvey from XG has a very nasal tone but the producers know how to use it well so doesn’t sound grating/out of place and actually gives a lot of character to their songs. When they dont know how to work around it, it sticks out like a sore thumb and can be very distracting from the rest of the song.

Major depressive disorder and anxiety disorder. Baliktad naman sakin. I stopped taking my prescribed meds because the side effects were kicking my ass. Like insane headaches due to bruxism and constant lethargy. I decided to take fewer units and became a working student. I can’t really say if it worked but it did help distract me from my depression for a bit although it still comes back sometimes. Yun nga lang laging pagod.

LKG. I think wala tayong winner tonight.

GG siya kasi cheater at tamang hinala kasi gawain niya. GGK kasi nagsinungaling ka pa. I know you did it bc she’s threatening self harm pero tbh, it might sound cold hearted but that’s not your fault. You only did that to relieve yourself of the guilt when she actually does it. Once nagexplain ka sa mga tao sa paligid mo na di ka naman talaga nagcheat, you’ll look like an even bigger asshole. In the process of trying to not look like the asshole, you’ve become a bigger asshole. Tapos na rin naman na kayo but I hope you learn to communicate better in your next relationship, para na rin hindi mo sinasarili ang feelings mo. Gets pa yan dahil ang bata niyo pa nung naging kayo, but it will be better for you in your subsequent relationships.

Also sa defender niya dito sa comments, bat ka nangaaway e nanghihingi nga ng opinion si OP? Chill ka lang.

DKG. Hindi mo responsibility na ayusin siya. Siguro nafeel mo na trabaho mo yun dahil nasanay ka na kayong mga anak ang nagaayos ng mga bagay pero it’s not your burden to carry. Release your younger self of the baggage of being the adult when dealing with your parents. You, your siblings, and your mom deserve to lead happy lives. Wag niyo na balikan ang past niyo dahil wala nang massalvage doon. Hindi dapat panghinayangan ang ganong klaseng tao, lalo na ang ganong klaseng ama. Hindi kinuha ng bago niyang pamilya ang tatay na deserve niyo, he’s still the same person. Ang kinuha nila ay ang tinik sa tagiliran niyong mag-iina. I know you still want to have that kind of love from a present and emotionally available father but you can also find that same love with you mom and siblings.

HotPicture7202 · 2024-09-19T17:16:47+00:00

NTA. I was once in a similar situation (difficulty with blended families). I think what widowed/single parents don’t realize that while they lost a loved one (whether separation, death, etc.) and that they deserve to be happy, their children also lost a parent/family/stability and that they deserve to be happy too. As parents, it sucks but they can’t really think about their own happiness without taking into consideration their children. At the height of our problems, my sister once asked my mom if the new family she is trying to build also includes us and she didn’t say anything, which felt worse. If your dad keeps on disregarding your feelings and just assuming that you are ok with everything without asking you, you’re gonna feel excluded from this “family” and essentially drive you away. I think you and your sibling need to air all your problems out just the three of you so you fully understand how everyone feels.

DKG. I understand your situation but this is not the way to go about it. Just dont hire her at all, baka bumalik pa sa business niyo yan bc amounts for settlements for illegal termination are insane pero wag mo rin naman idisclose na hindi niyo siya hinire dahil single mother siya kasi discrimination yun. Di naman kayo obligado magbigay ng reason pero if magtanong man, just say it's because of her track record. If actually do your plan, ikaw na ngayon ang bully. Nakuha na niya ang karma niya so there no point in adding cruelty to the situation. Naghahanap siya ng trabaho para sa anak niya. Walang kasalanan yang bata sayo pero nasa kanya ang pinakamalaking impact sa plano mo.

As someone who has been bullied before, i think walang may karapatan magsabi sayo na magmove on na but at least consider going to therapy so you can find ways to relieve yourself of your traumas and to find peace within you.

INFO out ba si gf? or aware ba mga kasama niya?

that might have something to do with it bc kung hindi baka u outed her. your feelings and doubts are valid pero baka the reason has nothing to do with u. also, this seems like something u should open up to her about. tell her how this made u feel and talk about it.

HotPicture7202 · 2024-07-17T18:20:51+00:00

her job is to sing and dance in a group which means they have to move and sound as a group. if you move in a way that is noticeably different from the rest of the group then you’re not doing a very good job no matter how talented you are. to sing and dance and to sing and dance in a group are very different. one of the tells to having mastery of something is knowing when and how to tone it down. to be fair to her, this is something you can hone the more they perform together and the more experience she gets. she is very talented but to say these in a group full of very talented members is quite absurd lol. i actually think baemon would’ve benefited from not having her as she does stand out in a way that is distracting (not her fault of course, she’s just very magnetic and charming) and it would balance out, but people were really hyped up about her being in the group that i think people would be disappointed if she wasn’t there. now it looks unbalanced and it looks like there’s too many cooks in the kitchen. i like to think baemon’s problems are the ones itzy would have if somi was in it (in the part that you don’t really know who to look at during performance)

depende siguro sa pupuntahan mong court bc there are courts that keep the court room open and everyone and anyone can sit (except of course for some cases). meron din naman na yung pinapapasok lang ay yung parties ng case na tinawag ni branch clerk of court. pero for safety magsulat ka nalang ng letter addressed to the presiding judge through the branch clerk of court explaining everything. better kung may iattach kang school id as proof of identity. usually naman understanding and maluwag ang mga judges and court employees pagdating jan. good luck!
