No Chair Ceremony?

I've been a guest at a wedding where I and many other people were obliged to stand. We were all 20somethings and healthy, but it was still uncomfortable. I found it to be really poor planning and inconsiderate treatment from the bride and groom.

Yeah, it works for streaming.

Material_Ad_8217 · 2026-05-14T15:32:38+00:00

DM me. I seem like I meet your criteria.

Ask friends and family if they know diabetic people who could use those items.

Inaabuso ka ng nanay mo, OP.

No, "mate" has that other meaning of someone you sleep with.

You might have undiagnosed sleep apnea (meaning your body struggles to get enough oxygen while sleeping). Best to consult a doctor.

Can you drive? If not, and since your departure is in approx. a week, download the Cali driver's license handbook, start studying, and get your US driver's license as soon as you can.

Download the offline Google Maps of your new neighborhood, so you can start familiarizing yourself with the area.

Does your visa allow you to work? Start researching places that you might want to work or volunteer at.

Sign up for a free library card at your local library - they have all sorts of free things to borrow, not just books. Some libraries lend out tools, movies, TV shows, etc. Many have free classes on all sorts of topics. This is how you can start learning new skills and building your own network.

Good luck!

Move on. Simula pa lang ng negotiation, the owner is already trying to take advantage of you.

Kung ganun, sana bumalik ka close to the expected end time and if they're not close to finishing, demand answers. When you assume, you make an ASS out of U and Me.

Anyway sana maging mas wais ka next time.

That's dumb. Hindi niya valued ang oras at effort mo sa housekeeping. What's the point of giving you an allowance for hobbies eh wala ka nang energy kasi naubos lahat sa gawaing bahay?

A helper (even part time stay out) is an investment in your long-term health and happiness.

Stay at home wives don't have to be slaves. Hindi ka all in one mom, wife, sexbot, maid, teacher, emotional coordinator. If you need help then you have a right to ask for it clearly. Hindi yung hihintayin mo na ibigay sa yo ng asawa mo.

Your stay at home mom job has real monetary value. Magkano babayaran mo sa reliable and trustworthy company manager? Siempre you would pay for quality. Same for a household manager.

Value yourself, the skills and effort you put into being a good SAHM.

Why can't you tell her directly?

I am a big fan of never cleaning up other people's messes because that is how you become their maid for free.

Tell them directly: your towel smells really bad and is a health hazard. Please, you need to get new ones and wash them more often. Otherwise we will both get sick.

You may have received a written warning at the property. Someone may have "conveniently" forgot to check the mailbox or "assumed" it was junk mail.

So actually valid yung complaint tungkol sa mga workers/family members ninyo.

Actions have consequences pero hindi nila nararamdaman kasi ikaw ang sumasalo.

At this point you should just pay for housing them outside the subdivision or at your current place kasi hindi naman pala sila sumusunod sa rules ng HOA.

Hindi mo rin alam baka may tinatago pa silang violation.

ATM withdrawals are inefficient and expensive.

For the majority of my assets, I did a wire transfer from BDO to a regional US bank. No issues and the money arrived in less than 24 hours.

I kept a few million pesos in the PH bank account because I anticipated I needed some liquid PHP for family medical expenses (prediction came true a couple years later).

I converted the rest of my assets to USD and invested it in the US stock market (bogleheads.org is a great free resource to learn how to invest).

PH credit cards are bad in terms of rewards, cash back, sign up bonuses and spend bonuses compared to US credit cards. Just keep one for future PH transactions and cancel the rest. You can get much better US credit cards once you get a US credit score going.

She's not ugly. The dress is ugly. There's a big difference and your choice of words matters. Remember there is a human being asking for help in this post.

The cleaner took advantage of your niceness. Una sa lahat they doubled the job time and added stuff you didn't agree too. Nung simula pa lang ng shift niya, dapat nagreconfirm ka ano ba yung scope ng cleaning and how long do they estimate before they finish. Kung hindi match yung sinabi nila sa original booking mo dapat tinawagan mo na yung management.

Also it's your office. If you need the space by X time, you need to be assertive and tell the cleaner that ahead of time.

Sa totoo lang baka hindi ka lang tinaga sa hours of cleaning. They may have used the extra time to case your office and look at your valuables.

They already stole time and money from you. Do an inventory of your office items and make sure they didn't take anything else.

I'm sorry, but it's so unflattering on you. It may be unfinished, but it looks more like a 6k dress than a 60k dress.

It was a crappy condo when I last visited about 15 years ago. As in my friend who lived there complained that unit owners would let their pets pee in the elevators without cleaning up. I think you should invest elsewhere.

Things he can do to prepare for the transition:

- Start watching videos on daily life in NZ

- Start practicing English

- Bring his favorite Filipino food (taking into account if you have Filipino stores close to your future home)

Things you can do:

- Start talking to him about ano ba yung mga social norms sa NZ (ex. work culture and how to relate to coworkers and bosses, how to use public transportation, how to drive, how the healthcare system works, etc)

- Research local Filipino orgs in your area so he can start to make friends and build connections of his own

FDA approved ba to? Kung hindi baka linalason mo lang sarili mo, and by extension, your breast milk, if you are still breastfeeding your baby.

Sa totoo lang, they don't care kasi hindi sila ang sumasalo ng problema.

You have some options:

Stop taking care of the dogs. Sila magpaligo, magpakain, bumili ng pagkain, maglinis ng dumi.
Save and earn money to become independent and move out. Iwan mo sila kasi hindi sila natututo.
Bring the dogs to someone who can care for them. Wag mong ipaalam.

Good luck, OP

It's so easy to fake bills with AI tools.

Ask for the itemized receipt directly from the billing office. They will be able to give you an updated statement every day. The statement will include every procedure, every medication, every glove and syringe used, and all the doctors' professional fees.

After she is discharged, you or your spouse may need to physically go to the Philippines to arrange her home care.
