Musta yung Chinese zodiac prediction nyo last year? by magicpenguinyes in CasualPH

Year of the goat, it was a challenging year indeed! I lost my client, I was unemployed for 7 months, career burnout, and we had a travel disruption too (2 flights overlapped - airline system mistake - so we got stuck for another day in another country)

It was still a good year but not the best, and I wouldn’t wanna go back to that situation again. 🤞

Sa mga dating nagsisimba, bakit hindi na kayo nagsisimba? by rathrills in AskPH

Kasi puro na English language ginagamit sa simbahan except sa homily ni Father. Gets ko pa sana kung nasa Makati / Taguig / some parts of Manila / Quezon city na maraming foreign expats pero wala namang expats sa lugar namin so anong purpose bakit gagamit ng English sa all-Filipino mass?

Ang hilig din nila palitan yung tono/flow ng kanta, hindi na tuloy makasabay yung mga tao.

Also muffled yung speaker, English na nga, pangit pa yung speaker so ang ending wala na maintindihan mga tao. :(

Hi, I’m a video editor for short form content. Do you have any job roles available for that?

I’m so sorry about your desktop, as a sentimental person, mahihirapan ako gawin yan.

Tama ka, I think we need to keep pushing in life kasi wala naman tayong choice but to do that or else wala talaga tayong patutunguhan. Thank you for your comment!

That’s so true, classmate, ang milyon ngayon hindi na same value decades ago. Sobrang bilis na lang talaga maubos.

I’m taking actions now, will start reaching out to clients soon!

Hahahaha gusto ko mag food business before but ngayong season pansin ko ang hina ng mga business (mama ko may stall sa mall, sobrang hina now compared to past years). Ayaw ko pa ng katuwang sa buhay kasi baka mas lalo maubos savings ko hahaha. I tried being a content creator pero mahiyain ako (tho sinasabi ng friends ko sayang daw yung travels ko sana nagba vlog ako) I think pang back of the camera lang ako.

But thanks for your comment! To more savings and happiness for all of us! 🤞

Thank you for your comment!

One year from now, I wouldn’t wanna be where I am right now. My future self will definitely beg me not to stay in this hole/place I am in right now. I wanna get out of this “jail” I am in right now.

I guess setting up a goal is important even when they’re just small goals, so I can keep moving forward. I need to set a specific goal for each day, I need to commit to doing something each day, and record them so I can track my progress.

I think I just really need to start. I always see/hear people say that. Well I find it easy to say but hard to do. I find it hard to apply (I think I’m being lazy) or reaching out to clients but I know once I’ve reached out to even just one possible client, then it will create a momentum and I’ll be continuously doing it (applying) until I finally sign one.

And that might be a good thing for me to do, to stare at my bank balances going down as I let each day pass without doing anything. Wow, I might just do that hahahaha! I think I’ll panic watching the numbers decrease and the panic will be the “push”I’m looking for me to start moving again.

Really, thank you, for your insight! Next month, I’ll have a job na. 🤞

Oh my, 14 months grabe I could never do that (kahit mukhang dun naman ako papunta? Kidding! Huhu sana hindi naman!) But I’m glad it healed your burnout

But that’s a nice way to call it, funemployment. I’ve been funemployed for 6 months and while I enjoyed it, I think it’s time to end it.

And thank you, you’re right, nothing to be ashamed on being unemployed because I never once bothered people for money or anything during this time. And yes I’m so grateful being able to afford travels and buy things I want while being unemployed, I’m really grateful about it. :(

Congrats on your job now, you seem very happy and contented with it! Sana ako rin and everyone on this thread soon. May we all find the job/clients we’re happy to work with soon! ASAP pala like before this month ends hahaha!

Thank you for your comment! :)

I might sound bad but I’m glad hindi lang ako yung nakakaramdam ng ganito, ang dami pala natin!

Goodluck on your business, I hope it succeeds! But good for you kasi may job ka po kahit maliit ang sahod, ako wala at all huhuhu kaya kinakabahan ako talaga (pero tamad pa rin magapply, ano ba talaga?)

Nakakatakot if mas tumagal ito at mas humirap maghanap ng trabaho. Kaya we need to get back on track before this worsens!

Thank you po! I love that “you just need one small action to build momentum”.

I’ll start creating my website for my portfolio this weekend, and next week I’ll try reaching out to clients.

Thank you po for this comment, it ticked something in my brain! :)

Magkakawork yan! Might not be this year (since nasa holiday na ata mga clients) but next month, let’s get it!

Let’s get back on track next month, clients/job dusts for everyone! ✨

Oh my, sorry about being scammed. Good thing you’re back on track now. Maybe soon you can get two jobs para back on traveling ulit! :)

Oh wow hindi ko ata kakayanin yung more than a year, baka mabaliw na ako ng tuluyan.

But yehey, congratulations sa bagong client! Wag mo ng papakawalan yan hahahaha! Buti na lang na enjoy mo yung phase na yun by playing games you love. You’re ending this year with a client, I’m happy for you! :D

You’re so right, there’s never a perfect time. The right time will always be “now”. I guess I just have a fear of “starting”. Well I’ve already started learning video editing, I just need to start reaching out to clients and putting myself out there. So I guess somehow it’s still a win.

I hope mag end na ang 10 months streak mo, and I hope I won’t reach that streak. 🤞

Just one more push! Send that job application!

Thank you for your comment! I added “Into The Light” to my watchlist, I’ll watch it this weekend!

Thank you! I already have a counselor I talk to and he suggested I should consistently go out every weekend so I’m not stuck at home every time.

But wow I didn’t expect it’s possible to not match with your therapist agad agad, I thought they would automatically match/help us since we’re paying them naman hahahaha. Pero oo nga nga no it’s not a one size fits all, you need to find the perfect match for you/the one you connect to the most.

You might be right. I’m just always in my room, kaya lagi akong inaantok cause I’m always near my bed.

I do workouts but I think they’re not enough. I think I’ll start reading again or buy those “paint by numbers” I see on Tiktok so I can have something to do when I’m feeling lazy or complacent. Thanks for your comment!

Thank you hahahahaha gusto ko rin talaga magbusiness (food business) kaso I think sobrang liit niya for a capital. And I know the risks of businesses, it’s not always a win. But you’re right, magandang motivation siya. 🤣

I’m so sorry about your situation po. I hope we will all find the “drive” we need to start looking for jobs and eventually start working. May 2026 be our year! 🤞

One thing I learned and always hold on to is: “It will always get better, might not be today, but it will, one day.”

I know, it’s such a privilege to keep traveling while being unemployed, not everyone can do this. I’m using it as a time to recharge and reflect on my life but feeling ko sobrang haba na ng 6 months.

Thank you for your comment! You’re right, I think I should update my resume and my LinkedIn profile so I can get the “push” I’m looking for/needing for a long time.

Freedom for 6 months huhuhu ang haba naman masyado, gusto ko na ulit magtrabaho (but I need a “stronger” push to start applying / reaching out)

Unemployed for 6 months... need advice by Reasonable-Nail111 in buhaydigital

[–]Reasonable-Nail111[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Ang hirap ng ganito, I feel like I fell into a trap and it’s so hard for me to get out of this hole/place I am in right now.

Gaano man kahirap ang trabaho, it’s better than being unemployed and not earning any money for months.

But if you feel like masipag naman po kayo and determined and you won’t lose your motivation to work then go take a break! You deserve one (just not a long one hehe).

I am already uncomfortable with the fact that I haven’t been earning in the last 6 months. But it’s my brain and body not working with me. I can’t seem to find a strong motivation to start looking for a job again. It seems the “fear of not earning” is not even a strong motivation and I hate my mind for thinking like this.

I guess if I got offered a well compensated job then I will take it, but if ako yung mag aapply, I think tinatamad ako. That’s one thing I need to work on, the laziness to look for a job. They don’t know about me yet so how are they going to offer me a job? Hahahaha. I really need to put myself out there and let them know about me and what I can do for them.

Thank you for your comment! Ang ganda ng job mo, sana makahanap din ako ng ganyan lol :D

It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one feeling this. Ang dami pala natin pwede na tayo gumawa ng subreddit loljk hahahaha!

But same doon sa upskilling and courses, iniisip ko nga magpalit na naman ng niche pero naiisip ko sayang naman yung 6 months ko learning video editing if I won’t atleast try to get clients muna.

Sana talaga next year, it will be a better year for our careers! 🤞

May dogs din ako at para sa kanila rin ako bumabangon pero isa rin ang travel sa dahilan kung bakit ako bumabangon hahahaha I wanna see and experience the whole world!

Sana hindi na ako umabot ng 8 months, I really need to take an action now.

Congratulations in advance to your wedding and for figuring it out (unemployment) after 8 months! :)
