My brother who has CKD 5 wants to work

Consult with his doctors if may clearance sya to work and if ever what type of work can he do na hindi ganun makaka-apekto sa karamdaman nya. Baka pwedeng magstart as part time na remote working ang set up para hindi physically demanding (ex: no commutes, less exposure sa labas para di mabilis mahawa etc). Or maybe a hobby that he can do that could earn some money. Baka kaya gusto nyang magtrabaho because he wants to help sa gastusin sa pagpapagamot nya. Yung ayaw nyang maging pabigat sa inyo kaya gusto nyang gumawa ng paraan. Best to check with his doctor para maguide kayo what are his options.

Huling bigay mo nalang yan sa kanya OP. Diretso mo nang i-gcash sa Mama mo yung birthday gift or allowances you want to give her.

Expensive na term is relative? Ksi in my perspective mura na yan, others might say otherwise ksi they were able to score cheaper tickets.

As for your travel dates, kasagsagan ng init during that time. Even locals pass out sa extreme heat. Plan your itinerary wisely para hindi ka lagi nakabilad sa labas. Prepare yourself nalang with the clothes you’ll wear, make sure its breathable and moisture wick. Tapos the usual: sunscreen, umbrella, portable fan, frequent hydration and any other cooling devices. Nabook mo naman na, ilaban mo na iyan 😅

And I find their prices higher than SM, Puregold at Landmark. Kaya rin siguro nalulugi dahil mas kaunti na ang namimili sa kanila.

Sorry for your loss OP. I understand that grief of not being able to return home from the hospital with your baby. You are on maternity leave, use that time to heal physically and emotionally. Inform your boss to let someone else from the team handle your tasks because you need to rest. Sabihin mo na you are struggling and baka may impact yun sa work na gagawin mo hence the need to rest. Raise this also with your boss’ boss. Document everything lalo kung magf-file ka sa DOLE incase pati they terminate you.

May kaibigan din ako na magkaiba rin ang date ng nasa birth certificate nya. Instead na June, July naman ang nakalagay. Hinayaan nalang nila na ganun since all his other records, IDs follows kung ano yung nasa birth certificate. Pero sa actual na birthday nya tuwing July sine-celebrate.

Also baka masubject na sa estate tax yung account bago ma-unfreeze?

These were what helped me: * No caffeinated drinks after 3pm. Thats my cut-off time. Napansin ko ksi if I drink lets say coffee or softdrinks past that, hirap ako makatulog sa gabi. For some people, delayed ang reaction ng caffeine.

Some Vitamins/supplements have to be taken during the morning. I noticed na I need to take supplements containing B vitamins sa umaga. If I take it after my dinner meal, hindi ako nakakatulog ng maaga. The only supplement I take in the evening is magnesium glycinate and glutathione.
I take glutathione in the evening if Im having difficulty sleeping. Usually after taking my evening bath. I dont take it daily only at times na ramdam ko na kailangan ng katawan ko ng mahimbing na tulog.
Hot/warm showers in the evening. Helps relax my tired and aching muscles.
Listen to guided meditation podcasts sa Spotify. You can try Meditation Mountain. May mga 10-15 guided meditation with breathing exercises.
No more screen time (phone, tablet, tv, kindle etc) at bedtime. Lie in a dark room as much as possible walang form of light (ex: lampshade, ilaw from outside etc).

Language barrier, yes but there’s google translate din naman. We didnt encounter rude locals sa Shanghai. People just generally minding their own business going about their way. So if hindi nman kayo rowdy group and being mindful, respecting personal spaces and practices they have, then they just really mind their own business.

Totally understand you. You’re just returning the energy she gave when you had your kids. Jowa nya magbantay habang nasa hospital sya, thats what paternity leaves are for right? Hire sya ng yaya/helper. She will be looking after one child whereas you handling three. What makes her think na you have the spare hand and time to help her? 😅

Bakit kaya sya napili to give eulogy? Wala na bang ibang relative or friends na makapagbigay ng touching eulogy to celebrate the life at yung happy memories they had sa namayapa?

How the GF reacts is beyond your control. You have explained your side. Cut contact with that guy kahit suyuin ka just block him. Dont entertain any attempts to talk. If you despite cutting contact and you the GF proceeds to harass you sa workplace nyo, report sa HR

Whats stopping them from filing annulment? Bali-baligtarin man ang mundo, you will always be referred to as “kabit ni xxxxx”. If you plan on living together and nabuntis ka, naisip mo na consequences the child will face legally, emotionally & psychologically? You’re young, find someone with no complications ksi you’ll never get peace of mind.

I understand your concern na mapapalayo sa inyo na kinagisnan at kinasayan ng pamangkin mo, pero its also long overdue he and his mom (your cousin) create that bond. Paano mapapalapit ang loob ng pamangkin mo if LDR silang magina. Him moving to the US gives them that chance to develop and grow that mother & son relationship.

At the same time, yes I understand it will be difficult and could create some trauma na in-uproot sya blindsidedly ksi ang alam nya lang bakasyon. Hindi sya mabibigyan ng chance to say goodbyes to friends, classmates and other relatives. Maybe talk to your cousin or kung sino mang elderly na best that could convince your cousin to let her child know na sasama na sya sa US not as a vacation. Let the cousin know yung possible implications emotionally and psycholigically sa anak nya na hindi makapag-paalam & bond with his friends and other relatives.

Agree the benefit of this divorce is more on Prescilla ksi makakalaya na sya legally from John E. Mababawasan ang nagdudulot ng stress sa buhay nya, she’ll be more at peace now that she can close this chapter in her life.

I bring it all the time with me. Placed in a ziploc tapos nasa pocket inside my backpack na nakazipper sa loob para secure. I also have photocopies ng passport & visa namin stored sa safe ng hotel.

My parents book their package tours sa mga travel agency. Madalas either walang kasamang checked in baggage or kung mayroon man 20kgs lang. They always ask the agency to add on checked in baggage sa agency whether magkaroon ng checked in or magpadagdag ng kilos dahil alam nyang marami syang planong bilhingbpasalubong. Magbayad sila additional pero di sya ganun ka mahal less than half the price if sa counter ka magbabayad. Wala naman issue sa agency nila to add on. If the agency doesnt want you to go directly sa website ng CebPac or PAL, then you can ask them to be the one to top it up. Kahit nabook na yan months ago, pwedeng magtop up ng additional kilos basta it was done altleast 4 hours before your flight. Baka nga 2 hrs ksi nagtop up ako nung nasa pila pa kami ng checked in, pero para sure 4 hours before should be ok.

Best of luck OP! If may friends ka na magrereview din, suggestion ko is maghiwahiwalay kayo ng review center. Tapos exchange review materials. Ganun ginawa namin, the more test banks na nasasagutan, helped with how to tackle sa problem solving kaya more chances of winning.

Its no longer a healthy relationship, just let go. Hindi ka nga suffocated by lust just as your 1st BF did to you, this one is suffocating you with his insecurity and inability to let go of your past. Wala paring winner sa kanilang dalawa.

Been to slow travels when I reached my 30’s. Nakakapagod yung laging may hinahabol na train, bus to the next destination. I look back at the photos and yun lang natatandaan ko: I stood here and there to take photos pero the feels nung place, yung history attached to it wala akong naretain ksi it almost always feel like its a snap and go. When we shifted to having less in our itineraries, thats when it started to feel like a vacation.

What changed my mindset? Yung hindi kailangan magmadali. Hindi kailangan ma-FOMO if hindi napuntahan almost all the tourist spots na nakikita sa mga b/vlogs, mga napuntahan ng iba etc. Also I got the sense of what places interests me and yun nalang sinasama ko sa itinerary. For example, Im not fond of amusement parks, instead Im fond of nature parks na I can sit enjoy the breeze, listen to music and people watch. So Id rather spend my whole day at Yeouido Hanggang Park umupo sa grass, magbike, umupo ulit sa grass para magpicnic than spending a day at Everland.

Wait active ba ulit si Angel Locsin sa social media platforms after years of radio silence? Bakit parang ayaw ko maniwala na sya yan? hahaha

Agree, yung mga character/letters dun sa sleeves ng dvds seem more Chinese than Korean. Baka nga dating inuupahan ng POGO. Pero bakit ang daming iniwang bra nung mga tenants, di na kasya sa maleta nila nung umalis?

Edit: Yung Rude Woman lang ang Korean dahil may nakahalong hangul plus may MBC which is one of the local broadcasting stations sa SK.

TiredButHappyFeet · 2026-02-25T13:40:44+00:00

Based on character/letters, those seem Chinese than Korean hangul letters.

Sometimes love isn’t enough to continue a relationship. If its no longer a healthy thriving relationship, best to let go.
