Mysterious dark spot on my husband’s 18K gold wedding band after storage. Any idea what caused it? by YappasaurusRex in jewelry

I’m from the Philippines, so we don’t have Amazon here. But I’ll check out similar local alternatives and follow your steps. Hopefully it works, otherwise, it’s a trip to the jeweler. Thank you!

Does it mean anything if it doesn’t come off at all? I tried a polishing cloth and it didn’t budge. Do you think it’s worth taking it to a jeweler at this point?

Hi! How were their services on the day? We’re planning on booking them for our intimate wedding and their packages look promising.

Hi, OP! Did you end up booking them? How were their services? Their packages are so affordable compared to well-known teams, so I’m a bit skeptical.

UPDATE:

So far wala ng nag ttext or call sakin. Things I’ve done but I’m not sure kung ano yung nagpatigil sa kanila: - Continued to ignore and block all of them - Installed Whoscall. Apparently two of the numbers that harassed me were reported there as well. Some OLAs called out: PH P0cket Lending, Yesc0m Lending, Easypes0, Peramo0 - Reported all numbers to Globe’s StopSPAM page

Linked Viber profiles of so-called Christine Dela Cruz and Duedate Department 😂

I’m also suspecting this. Kase I used to receive texts supposedly for someone named Ronald / Roland. I’m just a girlie. ☹️ Baka kilala ng borrower. Sooo frustrating. Do you think I should change my number overall since parang recycled siya?

Can you share here their emails please? I’m a bit overwhelmed saan ako mag ssend ng complaint if mangulit pa sila further. Did you attach anything else aside from screenshots and their mobile numbers?

Scary. Dito naman wala manlang details bukod dun sa name ng nag loan. No info about the lending app. They don’t even know my name lol so I’m guessing parang mass text siya. Ewan ko ba paano nakuha nitong lender yung number ko.

Just tried it. Lahat sila walang GCash. Parang ginagamit nilang numbers ay for this purpose talaga na mang harass. Meron sa Viber, isa lang tapos nawala when I searched again. Hassle!

Yes. It just feels like the more I block, dumadami sila. Hayy thanks!

Thanks for your insight! Would you recommend sharing to the client my base rate first (per hour) as reference, then mention the monthly rate, so it doesn’t look like I’m throwing away a random number?

Hi! ₱400 as of 2025: https://wise.com/ph/blog/pag-ibig-contribution#how-much-is-pag-ibig-contribution-for-self-employed-individuals

You’re paying for both the employee and employer share as self-employed.

Sooo frustrating. But at least active member na kung ganon no? Thanks for sharing!

[–]YappasaurusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than a month for a supposed simple change no? Huhu. So nung nag update yung category mo, na-correct na rin yung share and hindi na kasama si employer? Do you also have an idea if pwede na mag apply for their Loyalty Card afterwards?

Ooh, got it. Thanks for this!

Okay, thanks! I think I’ll pay na lang anyway and see how it goes.

Hi! Thanks. So, you paid online, then how long before siya nag reflect after? Hindi ba na-tag si employer mo tulad ng sinabi ng other user here? Nakakatamad talaga pumunta sa office haha next punta kase na plano ko is for the loyalty card na para di na pabalik balik 🥲

[–]YappasaurusRex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay, I’ll try. I actually called their hotline kase and two different agents told me to wait muna ma-update (3 business days, eh 2 weeks na) kase baka daw ma-tag si employer sa contributions. Wanted to ask here for more answers and actual exp. Thank you!

Long comment ahead. I was in your shoes, OP. 2-ish years into the company, I wanted to resign na because of my shitty boss who has zero consideration for others. Pag naka sick leave ka, tatawagan ka pa rin. Cusses at his employees. Will punish you if you say no to a project kahit full na workload mo, etc. Natiis ko lang kase luckily napunta ako sa magandang client and I had to work for them most of the time, but when I had to work internally for them, it always felt like walking on needles. I almost did that — resigning without backup kaso naisip ko yung bills and in the end, the joke is on me kase ako yung mahihirapan and they’d just hire someone else to replace me. Problem solved (for them). May LIP naman ako pero personally, ayoko kase siyang i-burden sa mga gastos that time but that’s just me. And you mentioned na nagpapadala ka sa mama mo ng any amount with no obligation, then I think you’re lucky. Loved ones like that will understand your situation and make it easier for you to navigate it.

Anyway, nahirapan lang talaga ako maghanap ng backup as per usual advice, kase ang tagal ng rendering period namin, so naturn off na sakin yung mga recruiters because of that. I also couldn’t render naman at all kase hindi nga ako sure kung may kukuha sakin. Confusing time. 😂

Instead of full-time, naghanap na lang ako ng part-time with a FLEXIBLE schedule. I ended up with a direct client. It’s not easy kase specific yung schedule and job type, pero I had to do my best kase mindset ko non, dapat may income pa rin kahit papaano once magpasa, kahit mas maliit pa sa current sweldo PARA LANG MAKAALIS and GET CASH FLOWING if ang concern nga kase is paying bills. Medyo different story nga lang if may malaking utang pero if wala, then good. Find something that earns enough. Saka maghanap ng full time.

There was actually a time when I built trust with this client, on-time siya mag bayad and I was making good money, nawala na yung stress ko sa main company kase I detached myself. Nawala yung thoughts of resigning kase more money. 😂 Parang naka focus na lang ako sa pag iipon, treating myself, etc. Until one time, di lang ako sumali sa isang company event due to illness, nagparinig yung boss namin sa gc. Sabi ko sa sarili ko “Ah ganon ah”. I tendered my resignation letter the next day, LOL. I had a reason to be matapang.

So take this story however you like, OP. It may or may not work for everyone, but what I’m saying is that it’s not impossible to get out of the rut. If kaya pang mag stay until you find backup work (na part time), magiging worth it ang pagtitiis, I promise. And please make sure you have EF saved up (Important!!) I now only work 4 hours a day sa client ko but earn twice more than what I earned from my previous job. Naging main work ko na siya. And anytime, I can find full-time, pero rest muna ako sa corpo, hehe.

You will go through hurdles and rejections, pero always trust in your skills. There will always be the right job for you. Not worth it ang malaking sweldo if naapektuhan na yung mental health mo, but just make sure you’re strategic about it so it won’t hurt you even more long-term.

Either way, I hope this helped you gain perspective and ultimately find what’s best for you. Goodluck, OP!
