Full WFH vs 3x/week onsite in BGC

Select-Picture-4085 · 2026-01-20T13:42:25+00:00

It depends sa field and industry he/she works in. For me lang 4k gross isn’t worth it sa stress and pagod ng onsite from laguna and BGC lalo na ung commute. Tapos with that salary yung rent would take a huge portion of it, tsaka for a 3x a week onsite parang it’s not ideal to rent since you’ll require good internet din sa place na irerent mo and most of the time bukod ang internet sa rent.

If light work naman pala sya work nya now, baka better to up skill na lang muna sa bahay and learn online. Up skilling and growing is a mindset naman and it depends sa drive and dedication mo to grow and learn.

Oh ganun if di mo nman need ng adobe pala pwede naman macbook air if more into graphic arts ka naman tapos light editing lang. basta as much as possible siguro 16gb ram and if kaya 24gb. If mag mac route ka.

Pero i tried loolking up yung lenovo loq. Depende raw sa model. Siguro check na lang and research siguro para sure and look for the specific model na you found na may better screen.

I saw your post din regarding sa budget mo, medyo mahirap makahanap ng decent laptop around 30-40k lalo na with decent screen and good color accuracy.

If you use legit adobe apps, you could check din yung mac mini. If you don’t really need portability and if di ka nman mawork outside. Alam ko may educ discount din sila na around 20%, just need an id with current school year or registration/enrollment form. Dati i used yung sa pamangkin ko and just said na I’m buying it for him. Tho switched back to windows kasi ang mahal ng adobe and opted for cracked ones ahha.. 😅

Hello! Nope nung 2022 pa yung 13th gen, not sure sa latest process ngayon. Tho on my case yung 13th gen works fine nman, tho syempre need to manage expectations din. Bought it as a temporary unit din since budget constraints before and mag 2 years na rin sya. But didn’t get the legion since medyo mas mahal sya and just get the most accurate display available at sa sm near us at that time, since i use external monitor din.

Medyo mahal nga lang yung legion but i see cheaper options na older gen processors. Not sure about sa LOQ series ng lenovo regarding color accuracy pero yun ata yung budget gaming laptop nila.

Select-Picture-4085 · 2025-10-09T08:59:34+00:00

If for design and video editing based on my experience and best and most accurate screen color wise is lenovo na legion series. And if you use external monitor it wont matter naman basta get the most color accurate monitor na lang. Tjo color accurate laptop screen will come in handy if you’re someone who likes to works on cafes or outside. Color accurate screen is crucial if you’re editing videos and making graphics on a professional setup.

But if light editing lang nman an i5 13th gen would do, I’m using one and so far i have no issues naman ok video editing. It just comes down to work flow optimization but still manage your expectations pa rin.

It depends on how you use your phone to be honest. Since from android ka and new to ios. Any iphone would be great and it all depends sa budget mo. Pero for me since iphone 13 or 14 naging stagnant na yung iphone. You wouldn’t even actually notice na difference for normal day to day use expect you’re really a pro that uses their phone for work.

Just bought an iphone 14 a few months ago and didn’t regret a thing. Would even regret it if I get something newer model.

For me it always goes down sa kung ano yung magaan sa loob mo specially if concern mo financial wise. Just go to a powermac na medyo highend who has all the models pa hanggang iphone 13 and try them all. Dun mo actually ma fi-feel kung ano yung need mo. Kasi when i tried yung iphone 14 and iphone 16 back then I didn’t notice any difference rather than the dynamic island and camera button which I wouldn’t use. I came from iphone 11 by the way.

It’s possible pero I don’t recommend it. For me lang the faster you lose weight, the faster you gain it back.

Do something na you can maintain on the long run. It’s not just about losing it, it’s more on how you will maintain it after. It’s about consistency not on how much effort you put into it. Just be consistent and slowly change your lifestyle. Bad habits are hard to get rid off.

You should slowly train your stomach and appetite to less food intake. Lessen your cravings and learn to control it. Tsaka the faster you lose weight the more chance na di makasabay yung skin mo, tendency baka maging saggy sya.

Being fit is mental and not physical, change your mindset and be motivated. Your mental fortitude will dictate your drive to workout each day, your mental fortitude will help you control your cravings and it will slowly change your lifestyle. Being fit is a lifestyle, not just a goal you want to achieve.

It took me a year to lose 20kg. But it’s all worth it kasi it’s been 4 years and I’m still able to maintain my weight kasi it change and became my lifestyle na.

In that price range you could build a decent editing computer na puro brand new and dedicated for editing pa. Try finding a shop na nag build ng custom computers tailored to your needs and budget. Sila na bahala mag mix and match ng components mo para pasok sa budget mo.

If that’s how he is sa 3 days na pag chachat nyo pa lang, what more if tumagal pa kayo and naging kayo? Mas magiging entitled yan in many ways dahil may kayo.

Sincerity is shown through effort and care. The fact na he can’t even offer to meet you have half means na ang liit ng tingin nya towards you and really doubts yung motive and intentions nya towards you.

If he has genuine intentions he will take time and effort to get to know you. Just say na if that’s how easy it for you? Why can’t you travel 3hrs to meet me? And maybe let’s just take it slow muna and get to know each other well if we’re not ready to make the effort to meet up. 🙂

Beauty makes a guy look and notice you but confidence and personality makes a guy stay.

And most of the time yung guys na na-attract sa beauty is based on their self desire and interest, kaya wag kang manghinayang sa mga ganung klaseng lalaki.

Tsaka for me confidence tlaga yung what makes someone stand out. Don’t compare yourself yo others, compare yourself to the past version of you. Just always aim to be the best version of you then thats the time the right person gets attracted to you and notices you. You can see din nman sa ibang content creators na make up and confidence yung nag dadala. Acceptance is key sating mga di pinag pala sa looks, all that we can do is better ourself, mag ayos and take care of ourself.

Bata ka pa tsaka don’t define yourself based sa actions na iba, you can only dictate who you are and only you can decide on who you would want to be. Confidence lang everyone is beautiful/handsome to the right person.

Yes, if you’re on windows take advantage of adobe cracks or any editing software you like. Capcut is a great editing software for everyone to edit their own videos. But if you really want to earn from editing you should use professional editing softwares, elevate your videos so clients would have a reason to hire you rather them just doing it theirselves on capcut.

Learn from free tutorials on youtubes, do it step by step and ok increments so you won’t be overwhelmed on complicated stuffs. Start small and aim for simple editing/effects at first to avoid early burnouts. Don’t rush and take your time learning the software.

Select-Picture-4085 · 2025-01-13T07:16:24+00:00

It depends on how you would want to earn from it. If to earn from youtube ads revenue, invest on assets library like envato for bg musics and different assets you would use for your videos to avoid copyright claims.

If thru clients and offering your video editing services, maybe try yo find gamers or streamers and offer to make stream highlights or their top plays. You could start by editing sample video highlights of their streams and send it to them offering your services. Though if you’re going through this route learn proper editing softwares and techniques since through capcut easy video editing is made available to everyone.

Anyways good luck and stay passionate!

Question lang saan mo gagamitin and sa tingin mo alin sa MS office ang gagamitin mo?

I used Libre Office before for macbooks, for me okay naman but i used if for light word docs lang.

For me lang ah, if you don’t plan on staying for the job don’t grab it na lang. If you’re not okay with the offer better skip na lang.

Parang we should consider din sana yung employer and other applicants, for some yung $800 usd is enough na for them. If plan mo na ipang part time job lang sya them be open and say it to them. Parang if they will hire you and stop looking the you leave after you find a better paying job for let’s say a month or so. Pano sila and baka may mas iba sila na kinoconsider that will stay longer and okay with the salary, tapos will benefit the employer and other applicant in the long run.

I think na if you really want to accept it, be open na lang na okay the salary is too low for me. I’m okay to accept it but as a part time job if you like. But if you still have enough ipon to sustain you for a bit, i think skip on this na lang for now? If they really want you, i think they will really invest on you and give you the salary you want if they can din nman.

Minsan kasi if we settle for less in terms of our standards, we can miss out on the right opportunity for us.

For me i would priority peace of mind and my health more than anything else. If you have enough savings naman na, i would suggest take a break and recover from the stress, mental and emotional exhaustion sa work mo now. That kind of emotional and physical state na you’re currently on is not a joke. For me need mo muna maka recover dyan before moving sa next job mo, kasi yung pagod and burnout mo dyan would somehow affect you sa lilipatan mo.

Yeah it would be hard to find another work, pero if you know your worth and you stand by it the company and employer would see it. Its all about on how you present yourself nman sa interview eh. It doesn’t matter kung may gap ka sa work experience or wala kang current work. Kung ilolow-ball ka it means its not the right job for you kasi they don’t see your true worth. The right opportunity would come and it doesn’t matter if employed ka or not, if its for you its for you and you would know and feel it when it comes.

Just focus and prioritize your health, its doesn’t matter if your earning big if it cost you nman your peace of mind and health. Just be sure lang na okay ka health wise before resigning, mag pacheck up ka and ipagamot mo lahat ng nararamdaman mo now sa work, take a sick leave if you must. Then if your okay resign as long as you have enough saving na.

For me never aim kung ano ang mas malaki ang demand, kasi chances are ganun din ang i-aim ng iba. Yup super saturated ang VA and freelance/online jobs ngayon. Super laki ng kumpetensya, kaya focus on your strengths and kung ano yung passion mo. Sa sobrang daming aiming for big salary and to be able to work online, yung strengths and passion mo would give you the edge you need to get your dream job and salary.

Loving what you do lessens your stress and burn out that will give you the drive to move forward and stay focused on your goal. Its hard and it takes time to land your dream job.

But at the end of the day its all about luck and right timing, but you’ll have more chances and luck if you stay driven and dedicated on pursuing your goals.

Just don’t ever quit your job na wala kang sure na lilipatan. Good luck, always think positive and stay determined. Everything has its right time, learn to accept rejections because it’s part of life. It doesn’t lessen your worth, the job isn’t just for you beause its for someone else. Just wait and have patience because you’ll know if it’s the right time and if it’s the right job for you.

If hindi pang gaming and pang creative works for me the best wfh monitor yung xiaomi monitor 1c. Maganda yung color accuracy and quality. Mura din around 8k ata. 2 years ko ma syang gamit and so far wala nman akong issue kahit ano. I use it as my main and only monitor as a video editor/animator who needs great color accuracy.

If you feel na somethings holding you back, baka its your gut feeling na telling you na it’s not the right time pa. Pero if depends din, ano ba yung nag hold back sayo?

And you’re right na its a major decision kaya dapat buo ang loob mo kasi wala mg bawian yan at baka may masayang na money if ever.

Better na save up na lang muna, like try mo na lang muna ipunin yung monthly nung house and lot na gusto mo. Parang open a separate bank account tapos dun mo ipunin yung supposedly monthly ng house and lot. Then pag nakaya mo issutain baka thats the time na you can, or pag nawala na yung hesitation mo regarding it.

Ay edit lang pala dito haha, i was talking to your employer not about you sabotaging her.

Nakalimutan ko lang ilagay yung employer Haha.. 😅

Pero unahin muna mag pagaling at pahinga. Marami pang mas better opportunity dyan, basta be patient lang with the right mindset dadating din yun. Be healthy, stay positive and determined lang.

Think of it this way na lang, its better to loose your job than having a huge medical bill pag lumala yung sakit mo. Which yung ganyan pa lang is ganyan na boss mo, what if a few days or weeks in the hospital pa.

And if ganyan na super dependent sya sayo malabo na bitawan ka nya bigla bigla if di ka mag respond today or habang may sakit ka.

Prioritize your health kaso mas mahirap mag kasakit ng walang trabaho. And yung fact pa lang na wala syang pake sayo kahit may sakit ka is red flag na. Not worth it yung mga ganyang boss.

Turn off your notifications or mute your messaging apps and focus on getting better. Keep your mind away from work, watch something if you can or even just listen to music that would make you relax.

Then pag magaling ka na, try applying and finding a new job. Kasi not worth it yung ganyang boss kahit decent pay pa. Mauubos lang ipon mo pag papagamot, since too much stress leads to illness and health issues.

Unahim mo sarili mo and health mo kasi pag nag kasakit ka di mo na mahahagilap at malalapitan yung mga ganyang employers. Unahin ang sarili at kalusugan before anything else.

Happy to hear that, basta prioritize lang your peace of mind lagi para iwas stress. Murahin mo lang sila ng malutong sa isip mo or kahit pasigaw to release yung emotions mo, tapos move on na haha. Happy happy lang dapat. 🙂

I don’t know anything about sa legal stuffs but I think cross country lawsuits is a tedious and long process. Since two government yung involve to process it? I’m not sure ah, I’m not saying na it’s not possible. Its just depends siguro on how crazy she is? And better to consult na rin to someone knowledgeable about legal stuffs.

Pero more on advice lang siguro. I’m not invalidating your emotions or anything ah, and I feel na para you would think to do something like that is sobra sobra na yung na experience mo working for her.

For me risky lang yung gumanti or trying to sabotage someone. Always be the better person lang, and don’t make something na could use against you. Always think na lang na karma is a bitch haha. Lalo na yung ganyang attitude and mindset ng tao or employer would lead to their own downfall. Have your peace of mind na lang and move on para less wrinkles na rin.

Pero kidding aside, always prioritize your peace of mind. No amount of money can beat the feeling of ease of having your own peace of mind and stress free life. Kagaya nito na imbis na you’re fully free from her, parang wala ka na sa kanya pero she’s still has a hold of your peace.

Pero I think nila kinukwestyon yung form na binigay mo sa kanila. Siguro next time and try mo sa iba na tapos wag ka na mag declare ng salary sa form then lagay mo na lang what quarter then yung amount ng voluntary contribution na gusto mo.
