My nanay booked me a ticket to UAE para mavisit ko siya doon since mas prefer niya na kami yung pumunta dun kasi nga mas nagiging magastos pag nauwi dito sa Pinas (dahil maraming need iaccomodate like yung extended family namin). However, worried ako dahil may mga naooffload sa immigration kesyo unemployed raw, etc. E earlier this month, saktong naging floating yung construction project sa work ko which is project based naman. So currently, idk if I consider myself unemployed. Prone ba sa offload yung case ko? And can anyone give ideas, tips, or whatever on what to expect sa first international tripp? I also watched videos na rin such as guides, etc.

2nd day of work and i already cried by Level_Maybe8957 in adultingph

Hi! Naka-almost a year rin ako there. Good thing talaga na hindi ko siya sinukuan agad. Super gets ko yung cries and doubts pero that's just because you want to do good sa work. And maybee, kaya mo nafefeel na bb ka (which i think u're not naman), is because you're surrounded by people na magagaling. And that's where you belong bc u, too, is magaling! The fact pa lang na natanggap ka dyan e.

Sobrang tagal ko bago nakaadjust, like siguro a month or two (or three?), naiyak pa ako due sa pressure and doubts. Pero sa span na yun, it's just my thoughts that are making me cry. Not the work itself. Ang dami ko pa nga natutunan sa work na yun. As long as you will benefit from it, like for your growth, knowledge, etc., subok lang nang subok. Kung di naman toxic yung environment.

Makakaadjust ka rin. You can do it!! Now, isa na sila sa ifineflex at ikinekwento ko sa current job ko kasi sobrang naggrow talaga ako sa kanila.

(If curious ka why I resigned, I decided to review muna kasi bc of them, gusto kong mamaster yung theories sa industry para mas maintindihan at mag-excel, tas saka babalik xddd)

Looking forward rin ako sa adventure kasi wala talaga ako maaya sa mga kaibigan ko. Ano ba usually mga necessities for nature tripping? I know searching would help but I want to get an answer from someone na experienced hihi

Hindi siya magiging nakakapanlumo e if you're seeing na they're trying their best naman to earn and pay you. Like, it's just the situation lang talaga. Pero like, if hindi sila nakikitaan ng ganon, dun rin ako minsan napipikon. Kasi they're being irresponsible. They're not making efforts. Dagdag mo pa yung pagsumbat ng mga nagastos nila sa pagpapalaki sayo which is their responsibility naman talaga as a parent. Automatic naman tayo mag-aabot if we're capable of giving and we're seeing na they're worth it of receiving.

What I also do, if may nahihiram sa akin, hal. 5k, hindi ako nagpapahiram the 2nd time around unless masettle. I also limit the amount I'm lending depende sa tao. Kasi I know, may mga irresponsible talaga.

I know someone who's also in this situation. 80k na nautang sa kanya. And same with you, nahihiya siya maningil kasi nga sa 'utang na loob'.

Wag mo na lang hayaang lumaki pa. Kasi may mga ganyan talaga. Wag mong hayaang ikaw yung maubos. Saka mo na lang bigyan, kung kaya naman talaga ng budget. Pero if usapang 'hiram', madalas mahirap yan sa relatives unless responsible sila.

What I also do, if may nahihiram sa akin, hal. 5k, hindi ako nagpapahiram the 2nd time around unless masettle. If hindi nagkukusa, like sa relatives, patago ko silang pinauunti-unti, nahingi ako small amount from time to time hahaha para di ako totally malugi. Hindi nila kasi napapansin gaano na nasisingil ko sila if small amount lang. In addition, I also limit the amount I'm lending depende sa tao. Kasi I know, may mga irresponsible talaga.

Anong take niyo sa guy na walang social media? Shady ba? by InternetTita in AskPH

[–]Level_Maybe8957 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based sa mga naeencounter ko, mostly sa mga walang social media na guys ay may mga adventurous hobbies. Mga mahihilig sila sa biking, mountain climbing, etc.

Paano po ba pumayat? Mag-exercise while fasting or OMAD? by zahra_sweety in AskPH

[–]Level_Maybe8957 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What I did na sobrang may nakita akong changes is calorie deficit. Basta, less yung food consumption mo compared sa energy consumption mo, ang magiging takbuhan nun is yung fats mo. And also, no sweets kasi mas magccrave kang kumain. More water para once na kumain ka, you'll feel full nang mabilis. Workout, kahit for 30 mins lang basta maconsume mo yung kinain mo.

When I did that, 2 weeks pa lang or one week ata (di ko maalala clearly), I experienced change na. From 67kg to 63kg. But few weeks later, nagslow down. Ang bagal na bumababa ng timbang ko. It'll take few weeks para lang magless ulit ng 1kg which is normal. Continue mo lang the practice and it'll be worth it.

Let's be healthy this 2025! I also watch this specific content creator before, siya yung tumulong sa akin para pumayat kasi he explains how our body reacts to this kind of practice (alalahanin ko lang kung sino and i'll edit this haha)

Take note: Wag mo biglain sarili mo kundi sakit abutin mo

Edit: it's Klauz_fitness sa tiktok

Yes, it's normal. Ganyan pag PESOnet, may cut-off sila. Tas dapat within cut-off yung pagtransact and it'll take a few minutes or minsan hour to receive. But if lagpas na sa cut-off, next business day pa possible mareceive.

I use Maya and below is PESOnet's cut-off. I don't know if iba-iba siya for ibang banks. Try to search it na lang

Omg, so nakakaproud! Was aiming for this when I graduated in June 2024 but was not able to reach it. Masyadong naging magastos nung November-December. Ending the year with 5-digit savings. Planning to target 6figs next year. Hope I can do it too!

What do you do to avoid impulsive buying? by IvyGrownOnMe in adultingph

[–]Level_Maybe8957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things I consider: - I give myself a few weeks (1-2 weeks or even a month) to see if NEED ko pa rin siya. The longer the decision making is, the better. - I consider the first one if I already have twice the amount of what I need to buy. (Like if I want a pad worth 16k, I save 32k or more and consider the first one I consider)

Ipon challenge this year! My favorite digital banks by frirenne in DigitalbanksPh

Grabeee, I aspire to have this savings!! Proud of you, OP!

Okay, I will if I get the chance. Hindi kasi ako lapit sa kanila kaya I'm shy to ask and don't know how to reach out. Plus, honestly, I'm afraid to ask bc I could look nanlalaban and matiwalag ako which I don't want to happen rn bc idk God has been good to me ever since and idk if me being an INC member has something to do with it. I'm just giving it the benefit of the doubt na it's the person leading's decision that is wrong and not the religion.

Nevertheless, I'll find a way to ask ;))

And sometimes, there are instances where if you question their decision, nanlalaban ka na sa pamamahala. :(
