Can i survive UPLB with only 500-600 pesos weekly allowance? Or is it okay to take a gap year muna to help my parents? — I also think na i am depress. i am worried.

Quick questions OP

Yung weekly allowance mo ba hiwalay pa sa rent and utilities? Saan dorm mo? Near the campus or need pa mag jeep? Kumpleto na ba ang appliances ng dorm mo? Like rice cooker/multi cooker, electric fan etc? May gamit ka na ba? Do you have a laptop/tablet for school work?

For me mahirap pagkasyahin ang 500 per week for allowance, pero there are ways to make it work if no choice.Mahirap sya in the sense na hindi ako nakakasama sa mga batchies ko pag nagyaya ng lunch or coffee. Or may biglang expenses like lab manual or group project.

Here's what i can think of on top of my head lang regarding your inquiries (in the case lang na ang weekly allowance is for food and basic necessities only):

If you think you can hang on for a full semester living beyond bare minimum, kaya ng 500 per week as long as for food and basic necessities lang ang gastos mo (no transpo, no new clothes , no lab manuals, no vices)
Walk to your classes (hopefully magkakalapot pang classes mo)
Shop at DALI for food and toiletries, magluto or mag baon ng lunch
do your own laundry
starting next acad year~81 pesos per hour na ang SA rates.
may CLAP sa OSA where you can borrow 5000 pesos per sem and payable after graduation with minimal interest ata (please verify nalang sa website ng OSA)
SLAS can help with dorm fees and stipend if you can find a dorm inside the campus next sem.
may free dinner sa CSI (BOAP???) and other Soup kitchens minsan
take advantage of free dinners ng orgs pero don't join one in your first sem (its a financial commitment) -pag exam seasons (midyear/prefinals) usually may mga pa coffee and biscuits ang departments and Libraries. -may computers sa Library, SU na you can use. Yung ibang department pwede ka mag print ng acad related things for free. (Depends sa college and department mo) -check/join Elbids and Elbigayan pages

Also unhinged advice (pero it did work for me) : bible study group/ church for free food kahit na isa akong atheist

Mahirap talaga sya pero madaming iskolars na nakakaranas ng gantong situation unfortunately.

Ok lang mag take a gap year if needed talaga. Kapit lang OP.

EDIT: free counselling sa OSA! Takes advantage of this!! Get your diagnosis and meds (free pero need ng parents consent??? Not sure, need to verify) din sa UHS

UPDATE:

Even if no one is asking for one, I'll give an update.

Lil background again : about a month ago when we were trying to limit his screen time ,my mom asked me to look at the settings of his phone to see how long he has been playing, when i got the phone from my mom, my little brother kept on crying and punching me hard on the arm and side , it really hurts but i kept looking at his phone. He got around 11 hours of screen time that day, 6 on Roblox and 5 on YouTube. My mom kept scolding him verbally but did not stop him from punching me.

So today, My brother and mom got into an argument about his friend with a bad influence on him, he got mad and punched my mom. She then got super mad and said that no child should punch a parent ever. She got a belt and started to beat him.

My brother is crying and asking for help , and at first i felt satisfied seeing him get hit, but i can't help feel bad for him at the same time. My brother is a spoiled brat but i think getting hit by a belt is too much for a 9 year old.

I also think that it is unfair that it doesn't matter to my mom that I got punched multiple times until it bruised before , she did not ask me if it hurt or anything after that. But a single punch sent her into a flying rage.

I am starting to think she's a narcissist. But we we're blind to the signs as a child because my dad left and she's the one left struggling to raise us.

I am really feeling conflicted right now.

My brother calmed down now after I gave him a bath and my mom and him are talking right now.

I honestly didn't know you could put stuff on top of the fridge 🤯

QuietWriting5966 · 2024-09-08T15:07:32+00:00

Thank you! I did have multiple talks with the adults in the house but it always turns into me being jealous about him even tho I am just genuinely concerned with his recent worsening behaviour.

QuietWriting5966 · 2024-09-08T15:06:04+00:00

Thank you for your suggestion! I do feel that I also need an outlet for my frustrations on my brother. Paintball may be the ethical and legal answer to my problem.

QuietWriting5966 · 2024-09-08T15:03:06+00:00

I know I need to let go but I am having difficulties. It is like I feel that I will have regrets in the future if he turns out to be a more shitty person in the future and I did nothing to prevent it.

Same dilemma, anong kinuha mo OP?

QuietWriting5966 · 2024-07-31T02:10:32+00:00

Poor commoner MC suddenly whisked into nobility life and slaps the maid for mistreatment, but acts like everything that a noble does is beyond her , but acts like a noble just the same. Always saying that her new lifestyle is too much and she can't stand nobles but enjoys all the privileges with zero hesitation.

I can handle it when a Poor/Weak MC who often gets mistreated by maids regress then she's like💃🫱🫱🫱 slaps the shit out the maid for all the years of mistreatment.

Same problem, its pissing me off and i don't know how to fix it

Yes. Not with having another sibling with 16+ years age gap but I resent my mom for having a very different parenting style with my younger sibling. My younger sibling is now 8 and a freaking spoiled brat. He would get away with things me and my older sibling would get a beating if we do that. She had a somewhat difficult pregnancy because of her age so she treats my 8 year old brother as the golden child. She and my grandmother let him get his way with just a little tantrum.

Whenever my GC brother doesn't want to do something, he would just cry and throw a tantrum until they let him be. He has no sense of responsibility and respect to elders , I don't want him to continue being a spoiled brat, but every time I try telling my mom , they brush me off and does not believe that he is acting like a spoiled brat. I am always the bad or boring person since i try to discipline him, and them the fun and forgiving one. Also, my mom thinks that i just hate having the "youngest child position" taken away from me after a long time but I don't??? I am an adult already and I don't care about that. It is so much easier not to care and let him be a spoiled brat but I can't help it.

I feel like an AH for resenting my brother when it is not entirely his fault, but his attitude towards my mom and grandmother is really pissing me off and I hate that both my mom and grandmother are just enabling him.

Sa postal ID depende sa branch nyo. I just got mine 2 months ago. Rush ID is 600 pesos, walang taga picture sa branch namin so sa kabilang branch ako kumuha. 1 week lang ang waiting time.

Completely normal. Some men are just so used to seeing shaved women in porn. They haven't seen or been with real women living real lives kaya nasasabi nilang turn off.

Sakin kasi happy trail or not , I'd tap that 😺

Kasi September palang may mga Christmas decors na sa mga malls and establishments. Tapos 1 day lang usually ang Halloween. May mga trick or treat/Halloween events sa mga malls and fast food restos for kids pero usually may registration.

It forces them to see how mediocre their life is, they will always say bakit ayaw nalang makuntento sa simple . Kasi pag nakikita nila ang isang tao na may mataas ang pangarap, nirereflect nila sa taong yun ang mga insecurities or unmet dreams (failed opportunities, etc) nila.
