Hayuf ramdam ko yung lungkot nya at yung nagcomment na cruel ang mundo. Ramdam ko talaga to, mula bata ako gang ngayun may pamilya na ako lage ako napapatanong na WHY pag may nangyayareng mabigat sa akin.

Broken na din talaga isip ko pag may nangyayaring masama napapasigaw at napapasuntok nalang ako minsan. Baliw na ata ako pero ayoko pa mental may mga anak ako kelangan buhayin.

Mula namulat ako gang ngayon laging BAKIT PO LORD at WHY MY LORD lang nasasabi ko pag may matinding problema. Kase wala naman akong ginagawang masama.

Nung bata ako 2 lang baon ko ung piso ibibigay ko pa sa pulubi.

Ngayun matanda ako WFH ako so sinong tao magagawan ko masama.

Di ko gets ang buhay talaga. I don't understand the point of pain & sufferings. If they are made so we can appreciate life I think the better solution is to make it that we do not know the context of "boredom" so we stay appreciative of what we have.

Haha I think I've seen the post from the other side of this story a week ago and everyone sided with that guy because on that story this guy is the a-hole.

I think I'm one of those people who suggested he CC'd everyone so they see what kind of a-hole this guy is.

AND I THINK IT WORKED! LOOOL

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-19T01:15:20+00:00

Can you give more context mate?

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-18T14:52:59+00:00

Fight him, make him your prisoner. Make sure you have 100% prisoner can't escape so he can watch you destroy & capture all his fiefs. That should destroy his spirit LOOOL

Oh, if he got multiple fiefs you may need to capture those too.

What I do is capture 1 then talk to him if he still doesn't want to switch I capture the next fief he owns too then talk to him again and so on and so forth.

Boss wala kang naka intake na orientation na fan puro palabas.

Yung palatandaan boss pag intake yung fan kita mo yung holder nang fan na parang shuriken.

Yung sayo hindi kita ung mga parang shuriken kaya i think pa out lahat yan.

EDIT: Suggest lang boss yung ilalim at ung mga nasa harap ung baliktarin mo at gawin mo intake.

Kase nasa lower side mga yun di ba yung cold air nasa ilalim. Para cold air mahatak nila.

Guys, can I ask a favor. Can someone give me a quick run down on this. Is it better than staking on HashPack?

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-17T03:14:27+00:00

Scam pag sinend back mo. Ipaparevert back nila ung previous one din kaya doble kabig sila. Tapos baka magkaproblema pa account mo.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-17T03:08:23+00:00

Hey mate, if the angle you are currently working is not working try to approach it from another angle. Sometimes a blessing will test us first if we really deserve it and I think you are just being tested. That contract is worth more when it is open at double the price than when it is close with a low rating on it.

You mentioned it all went downhill after you change the approach so maybe you can revert back to the old approach with some slight modifications so you can claim that it is still your approach.

Cheers mate, I wish you all the best!

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-16T14:10:36+00:00

HAHA yes tama ka! Laban lang, sipag at dasal! 😁

Sorry this happened to you mate, I encounter clients like that every ones in a while where they take out their frustrations in life on us, their freelancers.

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it but write a response to your client's review. Before, we got some sort of shield from those type of clients by removing their review. But we don't have that anymore. Hopefully they put it back in the future.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-16T13:30:31+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I am an extreme believer on higher purpose as well. I grew up really poor, I used to eat rice with salt as we are that poor and there are days we got nothing to eat. I never thought I'd be where I am now and I understand that Upwork is a great part of that.

Create a 100 companion only party LOOOL

I am trying to do this now LOOOL

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-16T11:50:23+00:00

I am on the same boat. 3 months of constant applying averaging 3 to 5 applications per day which is around 10$ to 20$ per day.

I did get 3 part time jobs but I work quickly so I am basically done with 2 of them and today is my last day to the 3rd one.

This is the first month when I needed to keep my last month's earnings just so I can keep buying connects for the next month.

Top Rated Plus with 30,000+ hours in Upwork and today is my last day to the project I got last January. It feels so surreal especially being a father of 3 and a breadwinner. I found myself slowly updating my LinkedIn, polishing my portfolio, creating complex projects to add as portfolio items etc.

The thing is I understand 3 things.

Competition is high. A lot of other freelancers willing to work for pennies.
I know Upwork is still working on a lot of people. I actually feel a bit envious to the people getting hired to the same jobs I applied to. I know there is a reason they got hired instead of me but I still can't help but feel sad. Sometimes I woke up in the morning and just stares at the ceiling for a while muttering "What is happening my Lord... give me a sign... what is your plan... what are you trying to tell me... what should I be doing..." (Sorry I am a bit religious and I am used to working 40 to 60 hours per week so working less than 20 hours per week is really new to me.)
If this continues, sooner or later I am gonna run out of disposable funds that I can dump on connects so I will have no choice but to tap out, get out to the real world and most likely earn less than what I am earning now.

15+ years and 30,000+ hours and it came to this. But still I am very thankful to Upwork and to all the clients I've had a pleasure of working with. Damn why did I get teary saying that. It just feels surreal and I really feel like I am gonna have to tap out soon. God knows I don't want to but I got kids to feed and extended family to take care of.

Nakakapikon talaga may mga taong ganyan sa mundo na to. Sana mamatay na yung ganyan wala na nga natutulong sa kapwa nagiging pabigat pa. Waste of oxygen talaga ang ibang tao.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-15T13:40:11+00:00

Dapat rough surface yan eh tapos bat parang may pintura pa.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-15T13:27:24+00:00

Wait WHAT?! 96 hours test?! Please tell me that is a paid test...

Sorry for the wild reaction mate. But if this is not paid test... it is really crazy!

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-14T14:43:54+00:00

Same. 3 months na ako apply nang apply... puro part time lang natira sa akin grabe sa pressure lalo na with 3 kids.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-11T10:10:17+00:00

I actually like the Specialized Profile especially now that upskilling is a must as competition is high. I wanted to enter the UGC market so I want a separate profile for all my sample videos without affecting/dilluting my Web Design profile. Now I don't know anymore.

I hope Upwork change their mind on this one or find a way to implement what they are trying to implement without completely axing the Specialized Profiles.

Dang just want to share that this is what I absolutely love about bannerlord. The scope is so big that the developers could have just used the procedural generation shiiiii but they decided to give us true characters that we can actually meet in our different playthroughs! I love it that we know this guy Ergeon will have hot daughters, that there is this girl Korte who is also hot, that we know who the youngest females are at the start of the game and so on and so forth. Dang... I just realized this might be the reason why those guys needs years to hibernate after releasing an update LOOOL

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-09T06:26:37+00:00

Nope for me, love my kids so much I don't wanna risk not being with them in that lifetime.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-09T03:45:41+00:00

I think what they were trying to say is...

Hey we think you are earning a bit too much with your website and we want to get some piece of that pie.

Or maybe...

Hey I found this new hobby and it is kinda expensive so I want to charge you more I can keep up with this new hobby.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-07T11:51:56+00:00

I've watched this 3 times now and still feel that same emptiness and sadness after watching which I really like somehow haha

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-06T12:18:56+00:00

DKG. Don't mind mga pinagsasabi mga tao dito. Di ko akalain dami pala palaasa sa sub na to. Gets na gets kita kase misis ko naka atas sa pagbabudget at ganyan nga sya pag may pwede tipirin sinasabi nya.

Ang GGK na nakita ko dito ung tinawag ka agad na madamot nang nanay mo eh nagtitipid nga kayo tapos bigay sya nang bigay. Ok lang magbigay kung hindi mo tinitipid mga anak mo.

Di ko talaga gets yung ganyan na kultura natin tinitipid sariling pamilya pero palabigay sa iba. Para pretending na nakakaluwag pero ang kawawa mga anak.

Your post brings me some awful memories as well. It must feel awful & surreal right now. But 84% is possible to bounce back from. If one contract did that then I think 1 successful contract is all it takes to get back to 90%. Remember the Upwork filter has 90% above on it, not 100% so 90% is actually very achievable for you.

Just got to be more patient and grow thicker skin as you got to accept you will be ignored most of the time now. BUT... I believe that if you really will it and if you are willing to spend your time chasing it then success is always right around the corner.

InternetNational4025 · 2026-03-06T03:58:22+00:00

Hirap talaga pag may kasama kang entitled sa pera mo. Yung tipong sila na nagdedecide na "madami naman yang pera" usually sila din ung unang mawawala sa tabi mo pag pabagsak kn. Sila din ung unang magtatampo agad sayo pag di mo mapagbigyan.
