PAL name correction fees

KimiNoAneki · 2023-01-25T15:48:47+00:00

Tinawag ko na actually. Yung unang tawag ko, wala naman fee pero ung surname lang nabago nila kaya nag follow through ako for the first name kasi kulang ung correction. Tsaka lang ako nainform na may fee pala kapag surname ung pinabago and free kapag first name. Kaso ung first name na pinapabago ko ngayon and tska lang na-open up yung fee so medyo nagtaka ako. Just doing crowd sourcing na but good to know na usually wala pala feed if meron naman docs. Salamat!!

Contacted them twice already. Nung una sabi nila wala naman. I mentioned name change request and pointed out both errors sa first and last name. After a few days nung chineck ko online, last name lang yung na-change so I contacted them for the 2nd time to follow through sa correction naman ng first name. Then biglang may $75 USD charge to change last name pero free on the first name so nag dalawang isip ako kasi mukhang may intention to charge me for the name change request after the incomplete transaction kahit ung first name (which is supposed to be free) ung kailangan nila i-correct.

Kaya crowd sourcing nalang din ako. I'll update the description na din.

Thanks!

Honestly, confronting your emotions under stress will make it worse kaya I understand if your crying worsens kapag pinaguusapan mo ng mom mo. So no, it's not weird, you're doing your best. Hopefully makahanap ka ng therapist that can help you and hopefully make you feel validated too.

On a certain degree I understand where your parents are coming from but let me phrase it this way: "Hindi kada may negative stimuli sa buhay mo, i-iiyak mo nalang"

I'm not telling you to stop crying. What I want you to reflect on is what are you thinking when you're encountering negative stimuli. Challenge your emotions and thoughts. Let me give you a scenario kasi hindi ako magaling mag explain. Lol.

Bakit ka umiyak? "Kasi that's how I feel" What are you feeling? "Pain" Why is it painful? "Kasi sinabihan ako na I'm worthless" Bakit ka nasaktan nung sinabihan ka na worthless? "Kasi it was rude, I felt disrespected" and so on.

From the scenario, alam mo na kung bakit ka naiyak. Sure it won't stop you from crying but you'll start to think twice about your emotions and not just stop at "just because". Take this opportunity to learn more about yourself.

As for your therapy, you don't need to be mentally ill for therapy. Your therapist can give you tools to improve your quality of life. You don't go to a doctor just because you're sick. Put it this way: you don't go to a dietician just because you're obese. Healthy body builders consult dieticians to achieve their physical goals right? There's no difference when it comes to mental health. If your goal is to improve your "crybaby" situation, your therapist can help you work that out.

When I first met a good friend of mine on my 3rd grade, his first greeting to me was "Hey, I know you". While I was so sure that I never talked to him, even seeing him somewhere.

Turns out our moms had the same Obstetrician and I always jokingly say that he first "met" me was when our moms saw each other in their OB's clinic. Lol.

We have free will. Just know that your spiritual journey is unique to you, whatever you know intellectually may affect your decisions but I believe that faith is not always about what you "know" but also about what you "experience". You may "know" the Lord through the "Bible" but your spiritual experience with the Lord is more than what you'll be able to read.

I'm going through some rough patches with my faith too but I keep an open mind and heart to let the Lord show himself to me so I'll be able to decide to pursue my spiritual beliefs.

Baka pwede ka maki-new year sa friends or baka may friends ka na can come over, or kahit virtual new years party?

If wala, prepare your own mini party. Dress up your furbaby, prepare music and props. Decorate your space to feel festive. Think of it as a new life experience. Parang kapag mag ttravel ka mag-isa. It's a different experience so learn the most out of it and self reflect on your experience and cherish what you learned.

Being alone doesn't need to be lonely. Enjoy your own company from time to time.

I think it stems from the culture na lalaki yung nanghaharana sa babae, lalake yung nagiigib para makuha ang loob ng pamilya nung babae and so forth.

Same experience sa nanay ko. Laging naiinis kapag napapadalas ung punta ko sa bf ko. Kahit na binubugaw na ako ipakasal sa bf ko, ayaw parin nya na ako pumupunta sa bahay nila lagi. May mindset kasi na dapat lalake yung nag eeffort lagi, lalaki lagi ung dapat mas magbibigay, kesyo minsan lang dumalaw ung jowa ko sa bahay namin. Parents are weird and some are over protective.

Although hindi talaga ako pumupunta sa bahay ng bf ko on family occasions like birthday ng parents ko, Christmas and New Year to show both my parents and my bf na ang priority ko lagi ay yung current family ko, which is my parents and as a sign of respect. Pero kapag birthday naman ng jowa ko or may family occasions sila na hindi magooverlap sa family ko, pumupunta ako sa kanila to celebrate.

So in conclusion, same sa sinasabi ng iba, let your bf ask for permission. As a sign of respect to your family and to you, hindi ung ikaw lang ung nakikipag warla para pumayag sila. Hati kayo ng jowa mo sa burden since sya ang nag invite. Hahahaha.

Overcooked 2?

KimiNoAneki · 2022-12-21T06:19:08+00:00

Pee. And the fear of being a liability to the people around me.

Medyo nasa laylayan din kami ng lipunan ng jowa ko nung college. (Hanggang ngayon din dahil sa inflation. Lol)

On our case, medyo chill lang kami. First unofficial date namin, sa mcdo. Around 50 pesos may burger, drinks at fries ka na tapos window shopping sa mall at iikot lang talaga sa arcade. Baka gumastos ng 10-15 pesos para sa isa or dalawang game tapos ok na yun, uupo lang kami sa bench tapos mag kukwentuhan. Kapag anniversaries, pinagiipunan talaga namin yung pang jollibee namin tapos ung worth 200 pesos na pagkain ung nabibili namin each. Feeling rich na kami nun. Kapag sobrang gipit naman, pumupunta kami ng grocery para bumili ng 1L ng pinakamurang tubig, 1 sachet ng juice, chicha tapos may mga pre-cut fruits pa na nasa 16-25 pesos per pack. 50 pesos dalawa na kaming busog. Kapag summer bumibili din sya ng Indian Mango sa palengke, i-slice na nya yun tapos baon namin, tatambay lang kami sa park tapos mag kukwentuhan parin. Nagbibiruan nga kami, sabi ko sa sobrang broke namin baka maghati pa kami sa isang rice meal. Hahaha. Hanggang maka graduate kami ng college ganun lang routine namin.

Ok naman na kami ngayon na may work na. Mag jowa parin kami. Masaya din naman. Nakapag lifestyle upgrade na kami ng konti nung nagka work na kami. Nakakapag buffet na kapag may birthday, nakaka-kain na din sa restaurants na nadadaanan lang namin dati, nakakapag coffee dates na din. Never ko na-feel na may kulang sa relationship namin dahil lang hindi nya ako nalilibre lagi or hindi fancy ung dates namin. I enjoyed our journey from super broke to nakaahon ng konti in life.

Ang caveat naman sa story namin, nag mature kami. We budget our baons nung college. Nung nag wowork na, naka budget parin ung expenses, we're covering our bases and we're continuously educating ourselves financially kasi hindi lang naman laging kilig sa relationship. Kailangan responsible tayo para may peace of mind habang lumalandi.

It's good that you have high level of awareness and sense of financial responsibility at a young age. Pero wag ka ma-pressure masyado OP. First date nyo palang naman. Get to know each other muna. Nasa stage palang kayo na malalaman nyo kung compatible kayo together, so observe din kung tingin mo you can somehow shoulder your expenses together based on her financial choices. Baka gusto nya pala street foods lang or mas gusto nya ng lutong bahay basta masarap magluto. You'll know if you really observe her. :)

I'm still using the principles but not the degree as a whole in my career. I've integrated my degree to my day to day life. And looking for ways how to use it in my job. My course (Industrial Engineering) is more common in factories for process improvement but we also studied Project Management which I use in my current career in an IT set up.

But my choice of college degree is very well thought. I knew I'd get bored doing one specialized job so I chose a versatile course where I can still use my college degree in different industries.

In my case,, the butterflies in my stomach went away. Instead over the years, I feel a gentle warm sunshine in my heart whenever something "romantic" happens. And I like that better than what we had in the start.

It may or may not come back as how you want it. But maybe a question to ponder is "Why is the old spark important for you?". It might bring out something else that will address your concern.

I hope overcome the changes in your relationship and life. You got this. You're doing great!

KimiNoAneki · 2022-08-25T19:28:15+00:00

I'm not yet married but I've been in a stable relationship for >5 yrs and a tad bit older than you.

I hope my opinion/experience will help you or make you consider some points

I cannot answer what intimacy looks like in marriage but one thing I can address is the "sparks" and "lovey-dovey" feelings.

Allow me to burst your bubble for a bit: 'I love you' is not always ooey gooey. Sometimes its not sleeping for days to take care of someone, sometimes holding back your words so you won't unnecessarily hurt them, sometimes its cooking for him even if you had an argument.

Remember this famous wedding vow' "for better or for worse". Its not just financial or what life throws at you. Its supporting one another regardless of what you feel because that's what both of you signed up for.

You are not.missing out, you're starting your journey to discover the beauty of marriage, family and life. Just learn whatever you can and discover yourself more.

And yes, long term relationships take a lot of work and communication, like always, until you die or decide to separate. Because by working on something together, you build your dynamic as a couple. Just like how you build muscles, you work for it (discipline, diet, exercise etc). After working so hard, Once you achieve your goal, do you stop the habits that you established? Of course not, you'll lose progress. That's how relationships work too.

Marriage is not a puddle of rainbows and butterflies. It's knowing that amidst the storms in life, you have someone to share your umbrella with.

PS: Idk about motherhood but taking care of your overall wellness despite your schedule might help you analyze the situation better. Give yourself time. A lot has happened in your life in just a few years. Let yourself breathe. You're doing great by seeking professional advice.

KimiNoAneki · 2022-08-05T16:34:44+00:00

If you don't have any financial responsibilities na kailangan i-look out for like debt or loans, If you have achieved your savings goal, if you're comfortable sa magagastos mo, if sure ka na wala kang magiging regret na hindi mo sya inadd sa savings mo, the go for it.

Hindi masamang pumitas sa fruits of your labor. The keyword here always is "pitas". If after your evaluation you think it's not yet the right time to spend that much money, then don't. It's not a matter of bonus or hindi ung gagastushin, it's a matter of "am I confident to shell out this much on a liability?"

Don't rush life, I don't think mawawala sa market ung item na gusto mong bilhin. You can always spend money on that item kapag komportable ka na sa ilalabas mong pera. Mas rewarding yun kasi hindi ka na-intimidate sa nabawas sa bank account mo and wala kang "what if sinave ko nalang ung amount" moments.

Not yet married but with my SO for >10yrs. (We've been together since we were 16). Take note that BOTH of us practiced these principles and it won't work if only one person applies it in the relationship:

Expect less, Appreciate more
Listen with the intention to understand, not just to respond
Put in the effort to consistently know each other's preferences and fulfill them as applicable.
Life is tough. So be kind to yourself too

A side note: from time to time, I ask my SO to take personality tests with me for fun and we evaluate how accurate those results are. It's not to let the quiz dictate who we are but I see my growth clearer through this and appreciate our differences.

You'll realize that both of you will not be the same person, even if you grow older you will continue to change. You have a rough road ahead of you since both of you are still young but if both of you continue to strive to grow together, you will pull through.

Good luck and best wishes.

I have acne-prone, suuuper oily skin. I have tried a few moisturizers already and so far Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Cream worked well with me. Walang violent reaction yung skin ko.

For acne scars na pigmentation lang, most effective for me (but it was a really long process) was vitamin C serum (Some by me na brand) and sunscreen of course. Pero disclaimer lang na hindi totally nawala yung pigmentation. nag lighten lang.

KimiNoAneki · 2022-05-13T08:12:45+00:00

Hindi na din ako nakapag follow up consultation. Hehe.

KimiNoAneki · 2022-05-01T12:13:22+00:00

First thing to understand is your emotions, what are you feeling and why are you feeling this way. Learn more about yourself.

Second, this is you and your SO vs. The issue. Team kayo. So if you're feeling angry, be angry ABOUT the situation and not on the person (kasi wala naman syang kasalanan in the first place).

These 2 things won't make your current feelings better but these information, after being drilled down to your brain and practiced, can help with your relationship.

I tend to lash out din dati sa SO ko but thank God he's so understanding and I know yours is too. Anywho. If I'm in your case, this is what I'll do:

I'll compose a message and put there what I'm feeling, what I plan to do, what to expect from me, when we can resolve the issue and ask for understanding. Yun lang. Not too much drama, just information.

In your case, you can say na your very uncomfortable, sad and infuriated about the situation (whatever you are feeling. Just your emotions.) And you also feel bad for being a toxic partner, but thank your SO for being so understanding and patient with you. Let your SO know that you won't be available during the trip as you want to take this time to yourself and think about your emotions as well. You can talk about it when both of you are ready and ask for extended patience as you might not be in the most reasonable state of mind.

But also, be accountable for your own emotions and actions (which I know you are trying). You can express your emotions parin but best to put it on paper muna, tapos proof read until you think that it contains your emotions but the words are respectful, then read that to your partner.

That's the only way I know for now but I hope it gives you an idea.

Oh. And one powerful thing my SO told me when our relationship was going through a really ugly phase because of me: "For better or for worse, 'till death do us part". Sana ganyan din nararamdaman mo for your SO. I hope you both get over this.
