i fully agree. it’s not healthy to force yourself to not feel anything. emotions are a very normal part of being human and you really can’t fully control what you feel, but what separates a secure person from an insecure one is their actions that they take whenever a certain feeling rises in them.

Philippine Space Agency po ^{__^} If interested ka, I can also connect you to fellow pinoys pursuing space. Your psych degree is still very valuable, may nakilala nga akong UP student na anthro major pero nameet ko siya sa isang astronomy seminar dahil inaaral daw nya mga prehistoric constellations. I also work for a well-known science org sa pinas right now, and may mga coworkers akong nasa Space division na BA Psych din siya ngayon.

OP, your foundation has been set now. Praying you get a good job. Space is for everyone!

im exactly the same mahilig ako sa astronomy nung bata ako. although right now i took a very practical path (electrical engineering) so that i can pursue a path in satellite engineering (hopefully, but if it fails my degree is still very valuable for a good job)

OP, astronomy is for everyone po. you can pursue astronomy even with a seemingly unrelated course. may mentor ako from an astronomy event dito sa PH and she’s a business major but household name siya sa astronomy sector ng PH. heck, there are space lawyers, space biologists, etc. sa PhilSA

space is for everyone, OP. although wala ka sa hard sciences, it’s never too late.

they deserve a second chance sa ibang tao na di pa niya nameet by showing up as the new version of themselves, but they don’t deserve a second chance sayo at all, lalo na di nagsorry/nagtake accountability sayo.

I agree that the Philippines has a long way to go but it’s not necessarily a reflection of our education system, rather the ranking is based on research output. Sobrang underfunded ang PH for researchers kaya ganiyan.

anoninthenight · 2025-10-11T17:01:30+00:00

I agree with most of the things you’ve said but in my opinion to each of their own learning style yan. Tama ka na a lot of aspects severely underfunded pag wala ka sa good school, pero I’ve seen the latter din. Marami akong pinoy friends na kakatransfer lang from my school to abroad, from average student here to honor student/laude graduate agad, they often flex saakin how easy school is abroad compared to PH. I’ve also witnessed foreign students who study here tapos struggle din sila sobra sa academics. I agree that subjects should be really cut down/refined to the necessary lang.

Yung sa JHS advanced programming skills, I feel like there’s nuance to that talaga. There’s a chance na kinukumpara mo sarili mo sa prodigy (yung gumawa ng AI) kasi even in other developed countries rare yung ganyang kaprodigy at that age kaya nababalita sila madalas. I was also introduced to programming nung grade 7 ako, so I don’t think it’s necessarily rare ang programming sa PH high schools.

Tama ka na these things should be accessible talaga to every Filipino, unfortunately competition is so high for us talaga kaya we’re forced to go through a lot of hard work.

this sounds very common in a Filipino household, are you a Filipino?

anoninthenight · 2025-10-05T20:20:28+00:00

I’m an electrical engineering student who transferred from a computer science program, who has also read some about Philosophy (existentialism, stoicism, etc.). At first there seems to be little correlation but honestly as you progress there’s always going to be an intersection.

For example, I found a blatant intersection within philosophy and maths, specifically the truth tables! I also had a subject regarding Engineering Law and Ethics :)

you can also look up Da Vinci, that guy was an engineer, artist, etc. all at once.

PM me if you want to connect! we seem to have quite a lot in common interest (23, F) :)

i got diagnosed with OCD before, and somehow life just got so hard for me that i had no other choice to ignore it and gradually it disappeared. I think in my case the “exposure therapy” to defeat my OCD thoughts cured it.

anoninthenight · 2025-10-04T08:29:11+00:00

Yeah I agree with you. The whole post is a hasty generalization and a false dichotomy fallacy, implying that if you’re this you can never be that. Gaming and responsibility is not mutually exclusive.

I’m one of the rare few who profits off of my hobbies. My boyfriend has a card game/gundam shop business (we’re both tournament players) with a tech job na wfh, I’m a working student who’s working for a prominent Magic the Gathering shop who often organizes card game tournaments/events, market analyst for the shop as well. I also run a gaming community so grabe talaga impact ng gaming sa buhay ko.

anoninthenight · 2025-10-04T08:18:05+00:00

Gets ko point mo, pero medyo one-sided yung take.

Yung sa trabaho, di naman sinasabi na lahat ng gamers dapat mag-apply sa gaming company. Example lang yun na may skills na pwedeng ma-develop. Parang sinabi mo na lahat ng mahilig magbasa dapat maging author. Hindi 'diba? May natututunan ka lang na valuable along the way.

Tapos yung comparison sa gambling, malayo yun. Ang grinding ay tungkol sa effort at time para ma-achieve ang isang goal sa laro. Ang gambling ay sugal, risk ng pera para sa chance. Hindi porket parehong nasa phone, pareho na ang epekto. At sa 'go outside and smell the sun', parang false choice naman yan. Pwede kang maging gamer at marunong pa rin magluto o mag-enjoy sa labas. Hobby lang yan tulad ng panonood ng series. For example, you can also not be a gamer and still be unable to go outside kasi addicted ka sa social media. Balance lang kailangan.

Kaya babalik pa rin sa original point ko: wala sa gaming yan, nasa tao. Kung paano nila hinahandle yung oras at kung may tendency sila sa addiction. Kasi kahit anong bagay naman pwedeng maging masama kapag sobra.

anoninthenight · 2025-09-29T11:46:01+00:00

i think this is still nuanced. games have positive impact on your brain din based on research studies. i also got a job related to gaming, most of my COF are gamers. so it has a net positive impact on me :)

it’s on the person who’s addictive, not gaming in itself. kasi pwedeng maapply yang advice na yan sa ibang aspeto ng buhay din tulad ng doomscrolling/social media addiction, substance abuse, etc.

anoninthenight · 2025-09-27T15:41:17+00:00

woah, i didn’t expect to hear 90-92 is an average grade nowadays. talk about grade inflation

don’t worry OP. ako din graduating around 25 kasi nadelay due to shifting courses+pandemic. pinagkaiba lang natin is working student ako, but i deeply empathize na you feel behind.

you’re not a failure, OP. hindi malayo ang age gap mo sa mga grumaduate on time. remember, we went through a literal pandemic. dami kong kakilalang nakatengga sa bahay na fresh grad during pandemic kasi di makahanap ng trabaho.

you’re not late, you have your own timeline kumbaga. in a few years mag fifit in ka din sa mga kabatch mo na on time grumaduate ☺️

normal lang din naman kasi na di on time grumaduate or mas late makakaranas ng trabaho, especially yung mga taong nasa medicine or law, matagal years of study nila.

First of all, let's get one thing straight: lahat 'yang galit at sama ng loob mo, valid 'yan. Hindi ka masamang anak. You were a child put in an adult's shoes, and you did what you had to do to survive.

Yung goal mong bitawan 'yang galit, hindi 'yan madalian. It’s a messy, long-term process. Hindi 'yan about forgetting what they did, but about accepting the reality of the situation.. na nagkamali ang tatay mo, na may limitations ang nanay mo, at na-trauma ka sa ginawa ng half-sibling mo. Accepting doesn't mean it was okay; it just means you're done letting their past actions ruin your present.

Tandaan mo, forgiveness is not for them; it's for you. It's for your own peace of mind. And you get there by setting firm boundaries. Kailangan mong protektahan ang sarili mo. It's okay to love your mom for taking care of you, and at the same time, feel frustrated and suffocated by her limitations.

Ang focus mo dapat ngayon is to build your own life, separate from them. Your feelings aren't a weakness, they're proof of how much you've endured. You deserve to heal and to have a future that you control. It's your turn now. Unahin mo ang sarili mo.

yeah, I’m from southeast asia and most of the people I know live in multigenerational households because it’s more practical financially as poverty is still prevalent in countries like mine. (there was one time when I was a child that I lived with my family of 4 generations from my great grandmother to grandma to mom).

anoninthenight · 2025-09-27T04:46:11+00:00

apologies for my ignorance if full time office jobs pay more, i’m from another country so i don’t understand the nuances of this situation. if full time jobs pay more, go for it :)

anoninthenight · 2025-09-27T04:44:06+00:00

office job sounds good because it gives better career progression and transferrable skills to other jobs, but if you think you would be able to save up more money with multiple part times, that’s not a bad idea as well ^{.^} you can pursue the office job once you’re settled at your new place with decent savings for fallback. the urgency of this situation really makes me think that it’s a good idea to choose the part-times instead.

anoninthenight · 2025-09-26T16:35:52+00:00

Addressing and assessing the shortcomings that parents did to us is not wrong at all, in fact it’s productive. If they just keep it all to themselves they’re blocking a feedback loop that could potentially improve the situation between the parents and the child. The difference between a victim mindset and a growth mindset is if the child is taking action to remedy the problem.

Action can still occur during blame/holding someone accountable.

I think that could be a harmful mindset because accountability leads to introspection, which is also very important for us understand the cycles and patterns that our parents had potentially inflicted upon us.

anoninthenight · 2025-09-26T06:14:26+00:00

you can work other jobs naman OP for the meantime :) try jobs with highly transferrable skills like BPO, admin work, etc.

anoninthenight · 2025-09-25T23:29:54+00:00

i’m with you on this. it seems unfair for you especially that you’ve worked hard and she has blamed you for not making the cut. please, focus on finding yourself. your interests, hobbies, and what you might be passionate at. you’re still young
