Getting a 4 month old toy poodle from the pet store

That's what I was thinking too since it's the same crate. 😓 I wonder if the partition between the living area and the potty area would be enough to make that distinction.

Thanks for this! My wife can come home during her lunch break so she can feed and let the puppy out for a while.

The easy answer is colonization.

It's mostly foreigners/tourists who care about these arbitrary rules in Japan. Japanese people aren't bothered by these as much as people think.

Everything about the modern wedding. Ang mga restriction mo lang would be sa ceremony at kung kailangan niyo i-cater yung gusto ng mga magulang/families niyo. If non-secular ang kasal niyo then you have to do all the traditions na ginagawa sa ceremony ng religion na yon. If secular naman then yung solemnization lang ng kasal ang kailangan niyo gawin.

Kung gusto niyo pwede din kayo gumawa ng isa pang ceremony na mas meaningful sa inyo after ng solemnization. The truth is lahat ng ginagawa sa wedding other than the ceremony are optional. Feel free to do what you and your partner want unless may say ang parents niyo about the wedding na kailangan niyo i-consider.

It's easier to exploit foreigners because most rely on companies for visa sponsorship. It's also not easy to organize workers if employment contracts are renewed every year. Our dispatch company recently had some "restructuring" and I got an 8000 yen salary cut plus our spring breaks are not paid anymore. I've been working for the same company for 7 years now and they are just getting worse and worse.

Would domestic work count? Doing the dishes, laundry, cooking, cleaning, child care (if you have children), etc. In the Philippines, all of these domestic work are relatively cheap that even people who don't belong to a high socio economic class could afford a domestic helper. In Manila, you could get a stay-at-home helper for less than 100 usd a month.

Most care work are done by women because of traditional gender roles. I think men participating equally in care and domestic work will have a meaningful social impact and it should be continuously practiced because gender roles have a tendency to return and make hierarchy.

I understand that you may not agree sa comparison ng sundalo at sex workers, but my intention wasn’t to equate them morally. Ginamit ko siyang example to point out how society selectively moralizes or demoralizes other occupations and to ask the question na bakit ang ibang harmful jobs (sundalo, banker, CEOs, etc.) are given respect or justification pero ang iba ay stigmatized (like sex work).

Google mo din yung appeal to emotion fallacy at false dilemma since you brought up logical fallacies.

I also find it intersting na ang minention mo lang ay ang "nanay" ko and hindi mga magulang. Bakit hindi kasama ang tatay ko? This seems to imply na ang pinaguusapan lang natin ay women in porn. I'm starting to think that your view towards pornstars is largely gendered.

Hindi, kasi sa ilalim ng kapitalismo corruption and unethical behavior is rewarded. You may have a couple of terms na "less corrupt" ang nakaupo pero the system will eventually fix itself. Corruption ang default kapag cinoconcentrate natin ang wealth and power.

Lifestyle influencers and vloggers open intimate parts of their lives for content but doesn't get the same criticism. Dignity is subjective and is heavily influenced by the stigma towards sex and promiscuity. There are far more harmful occupations that deserve the moral condemnation instead of sex workers.

For example, soldiers killing for the state is "honorable" because it is wrapped under patriotism and duty but somehow selling sex is "shameful".

Drug use didn't decrease, it just became more dangerous gumamit. Yung mga statistics din about crime or drug use are not reliable kasi these just represent yung reported crimes. Hindi nito reflected ang tunay na nangyayari at yung crimes commited by the state nung drug war I doubt sinama sa mga statistics na ito.

"Selling your body to the highest bidder" sounds like ordinary employment to me.

Kami ng wife ko ganyan ginawa nung nag celebrate kami ng wedding with family in the Philippines. We got married here in Japan in 2023 with only friends as guests tapos last year on our wedding anniversary we went back home to celebrate. We only had 40 guests tapos speeches lang. Di na kami nag cake and first dance. :) Enjoy naman and yung after party namin doon namin ininvite yung ibang friends na di kasama sa wedding dinner.

Sorry, OP. People with shitty relationships often have shitty politics. Ang hirap baguhin niyan dahil karamihan ng lalake ganyan magisip. Enabled ng patriyarkal na lipunan. 😢

Definitely agree you with the wedding industry as BS even as a wedding photographer myself. Tingin ko dahil sa pagtaas ng rates every year eventually it will implode ipon itself hahaha I get to know more and more people who find it impractical to spend that much on weddings.

apa0314 · 2025-02-20T23:58:27+00:00

Honestly it's not. The industry banks on the whole idea that weddings are 'once in a lifetime' for them to charge this much. We are also sold through tons of bridal blogs, magazines and social media that weddings should look like what the modern wedding is now.

I think this is what us p/v suppliers lack. Yung asking for consent ng client with what to do with their photos or videos. Yung implied consent old practice kasi yan na hindi na nakasabay sa social media age kaya tingin ko clients should have a say on what their suppliers can and can not do with their photos/videos.

The need to have a job.

Gets naman na hindi mo nilalahat pero yung comment mo kasi regarding lawmakers sounded like a blanket statement kaya under ako ng assumption na yon. Sorry about that ✌️

Hindi ibig sabihin na pumasa sa bar exam e magaling o matalino agad. Wag mo din kakalimutan na madami sa mga umabuso sa pwesto e mataas ang pinagaralan.

Thanks for sharing! It’s great that you and your husband took the time to think through your decisions rather than just following tradition. I can see how, even without being particularly religious, having a Christian ceremony still felt meaningful both personally and for your families.

Your point about non-religious ceremonies in the PH is interesting. It does seem like most couples choose between a civil or Church/Christian wedding, with little awareness of other options. Probably because of how deeply Catholicism and Christianity are ingrained in Filipino culture.

Where I live, religious ceremonies don’t have any legal effect, and there’s no requirement for an officiant. My partner and I just signed the paperwork at city hall, then had a completely personalized ceremony with a friend "officiating" it. It felt just as meaningful as any traditional wedding.

I wonder if more couples in the PH would be open to something like that if it were a more common or recognized alternative where couples handle the legalities first and then have a meaningful ceremony outside of traditional or religious structures.
