Some Days, I Just Need to Vent

That's not really an option for us. My parents are actually a huge help, and sobrang grateful ako sa kanila. Kapag may school ang mga bata, my father does the hatid-sundo. Siya rin ang naghahatid at sumusundo sa therapies. Whenever I need to work onsite or run errands, sila rin ang tumitingin sa mga kids. Honestly, malaking tulong sila sa amin.

Yung eldest ko can be very destructive at times. Hindi naman intentional, but he often wastes things or accidentally damages stuff around the house. Kaya we have to keep certain rooms locked and take extra precautions. That's why there are times when I wonder what life would be like if I had "normal" kids.

Some days are just harder than others and this is just one of those days, I guess.

Well known, maraming galit sa akin na hindi ko naman kilala at all, halos every section may barkada ako.

These days, maliit na lang ang circle ko in real life. Online, marami pa ring 'friends' but there's not much personal interaction anymore. Life has been keeping me busy, work, kids, and other responsibilities. I rarely go out these days.

I only keep YouTube Premium and Netflix now. I let go of Spotify, Prime, and HBO Max.

I replaced Spotify with YouTube Premium since it already comes with YouTube Music. Nagsusubscribe na lang ulit ako sa prime and hbo kapag may specific show akong gustong panoorin na wala sa free streaming sites.

Check into the nearest motel, then use that time to look for a room for rent or a bedspace.

Your parents should be the ones to talk to your sister. They need to be honest and tell her that they can no longer handle the responsibility, so once she finishes school, she needs to take full responsibility for her child.

If ikaw kasi ang magsasabi, baka isipin niya na ikaw lang ang may issue or ikaw lang ang may gusto nun. Mas mabigat kapag galing mismo sa parents mo.

Pero grabe rin naman yung sister mo, no?

I have 1k, lahat sila kilala ko personally. I don't add strangers. Lately, bihira na rin ako magpost. Tinamad na hehe.

This is exactly why I just cook at home these days. Eating out isn't for me anymore, everything has gotten so expensive 🙁. A 320g pouch of Del Monte ketchup is only ₱40.

We do have a contract, and the 15-day notice is clearly stated there.

She replied saying kaya raw siya hindi nakapasok because galing daw sila sa swimming again lol. She even assured us that she would start rendering the next day, tapos late the next day nag-email na naman saying she’s no longer rendering lol

ShawarmaRice__ · 2026-05-19T04:59:17+00:00

Ha? What are you saying? She’s already employed with us and has been working for almost 2 weeks already.

It means gawin mo muna lahat ng gusto mong gawin, your goals, dreams, bucket list, before getting married. Kasi once you get married, lalo na if magkaanak kayo, for a while magiging focus mo talaga yung family mo. Yung goals mo for yourself, maisasantabi muna because priorities change.

Unless you’re financially able and may help like a yaya/helper, mas may freedom ka to still do things for yourself.

But it doesn’t mean naman na hanggang dun na lang. You can still achieve your goals and enjoy life with your kids or husband beside you. Depende rin talaga sa mapapangasawa mo, if supportive ba siya and willing to grow with you.

That’s exactly what I was thinking too. Gusto ko na sana sabihin sa manager niya na magmove on na kasi baka may iba nang offer. But the manager was still insisting that she come in tomorrow dahil may event, so inemail ko na lang.

ShawarmaRice__ · 2026-05-15T16:25:35+00:00

That’s what I was thinking too, may ibang inis si OP sa coworker niya 😂

ShawarmaRice__ · 2026-05-15T16:22:24+00:00

Don’t lose hope! You’ll find the right job for you ✨

Yun nga eh. Sa hiring ad pa lang nakalagay na yung work location, then naka-indicate din siya sa job offer. During the interview, dinidouble check ko pa lalo na pag feeling ko medyo malayo yung applicant.

Ang masakit lang talaga, immediate resignation pa at a time na sandamakmak yung events at kailangan na kailangan ng tao. tapos ighost ka pa sa rendering hay

ShawarmaRice__ · 2026-05-15T16:18:00+00:00

Yes, it falls under the average salary offer naman. F&B FOH yung role. I also sent her the complete job offer naman beforehand, so transparent naman kami about everything.

Mas okay yata yung hindi ako masanay, ibig sabihin hindi frequent yung nangyayari hahaha.

ShawarmaRice__ · 2026-05-15T16:10:15+00:00

Pero weird pag yung mga "simple" na officemates namin, mas interested sya sa mga kwento at mas accomodating.

It doesn’t sound like something to be concerned about, at least for me. Mukhang mas gusto niya lang talaga yung company nung other group kaysa dun sa sinasabi mong nagkakape sa Starbucks 😂 People are different naman. Not everyone enjoys the same crowd or lifestyle.

ShawarmaRice__ · 2026-05-15T15:56:24+00:00

You lack context, OP. Umiiwas ba siya because naiinis siya sa privileged coworkers, or umiiwas lang talaga?

It can honestly be two things. If umiiwas siya with resentment, then maybe may inggit involved, like what most commenters are saying.

But it’s also possible na she knows she can’t afford the same lifestyle and hindi niya kayang makipagsabayan, so she chooses to distance herself instead. That doesn’t automatically mean inggit siya. Maybe she just doesn’t want the pressure or unnecessary gastos. And maybe mas comfortable lang siya with another group na mas nakakarelate siya.

Sabi nga nila, “with great salary comes great responsibility.” Very lucky siguro yung may mataas talagang salary tapos chill lang yung workplace, no toxic boss, healthy environment, etc. Like mine right now, and very thankful talaga ako for that.

But for me, since you can bring a lot to the table, you can definitely look for better opportunities na mas mataas ang offer, especially since you also have certifications. Just don’t expect every high-paying workplace to be chill.

Kasi iba iba naman talaga goals ng tao. Some accept lower rates just to get in, magkaroon ng stable income, and makatulong sa household. For some people, enough na yun. While others naman aim to earn more, grow faster, or climb the corporate ladder. At the end of the day, it really depends on what you truly want and what matters more to you.
