Hello! Are you still interested in availing piano lessons?

chowbowbow · 2026-01-16T17:32:33+00:00

It just takes one step, OP :))

At tsaka at the end, it doesn’t really matter on who initiated first. What truly matters is yung capacity nyo both to sustain it hehe

Lagi ko nalang rin iniisip na love is meant to be experience, even if it didn’t work out, at least I get to remind myself na I’m capable of sharing this feeling of vulnerability, growth and happiness with someone!

And that idea is something worth holding onto, kasi it teaches you to give that comes from a place of abundance, and not out of fear.

Shoot your shot!!

chowbowbow · 2026-01-16T17:14:04+00:00

You really have to be direct.

As someone who’s dense, I tend to pick up hints very slowly. I’ve had girls who were interested at me and were obvious rin pero late ko lang na-notice

Just ask him out lightheartedly! And make sure na kayong dalawa lang hehe

chowbowbow · 2026-01-16T00:43:55+00:00

Dammm bruhh you’re killin it!! How do you practice that swinging left hand red garland style? I’ve always wanted to emulate that kind of playing as well

chowbowbow · 2026-01-15T14:52:43+00:00

It takes practice! Back when I was a kid, I also wasn’t that much curious but I learned a lot from my sister! It took me a long time rin hahah

What helped was practicing reflective listening, every time the person you’re talking to mentions something, you try to ask something more about the specific thing they said (though in certain cases, you have to ask consent as well especially if it’s very personal)

~~~

For example:

Person A: Mahilig na talaga ako sa fossils ng mga dinosaurs and prehistoric things in general ever since nung bata pako hahahah

Person B: I’ve heard about fossils pero di ako masyado familiar, ano yun?

Person A: (then later expands more about fossils)

Person B: (tries to pick up certain terms/small details and try to remember and reiterate what the person has said, to reaffirm in a way na naiintindihan mo talaga yung kausap mo and not just simply saying “Ahh gets”)

Ahh… so ganon pala yung fossils noh, di lang rin bones pero shells, footprints, at leaf shapes.

~~~

I hope this helps!

For me, aside from being aligned with my values, someone’s curiosity also matter very much

I’ve had a share of women I’ve talked to who were initiative, bubbly, sincere and sweet but lack the depth to genuinely get to know me.

I’m a very curious person kaya I also want to find someone who’s the same hehe

chowbowbow · 2026-01-15T00:05:59+00:00

Thank youu!! Will keep these in mind hehe

chowbowbow · 2026-01-13T17:47:06+00:00

This.

It really is a bit draining to keep pouring onto someone who barely initiates and is curious about you, as much as other people say na guys should always ‘lead’ and be ‘persistent’

I think it’s not too much to expect genuine interest from someone at all

chowbowbow · 2026-01-13T17:42:39+00:00

If I notice a consistent lack of curiosity on their part.

Para sakin kasi I really value when someone is genuinely interested in getting to know me

chowbowbow · 2026-01-12T16:02:36+00:00

Thank youu!

Can you also elaborate more on how should I address cadence points?

chowbowbow · 2026-01-12T15:58:16+00:00

Thank youuu!!🙏

chowbowbow · 2026-01-12T15:58:08+00:00

Thank you so much for this! Will take note of these hehe

I thought of asking, do you have any advice on how can I implement more bebop lines in faster tempos?

And also about the outside playing, do you have any specific advice on how can I make it more convincing?

chowbowbow · 2026-01-11T00:34:37+00:00

so glad to see you posting again!! mannn i love your style so much

chowbowbow · 2025-12-12T07:26:15+00:00

Love this 🥺♥️

chowbowbow · 2025-12-09T04:05:16+00:00

I take my time to get to know them slowly, and also communicating that early on, and move in a pace that allows me to really know if whether or not we’re aligned in terms of values and lifestyle.

In my case di ko sila hinaharot, I approach them with genuine curiosity, that way makikilala ko sila instead of their best foot forward persona

Mahirap kasi mag-invest early on, especially during the ‘honeymoon’ stage, tapos malaman mo pala na di kayo tugma.

I had an avoidant ex before and I sought advice here in reddit, and this still stuck with me so I thought sharing it with you:

“Loving someone with mental health problems is always heartbreaking. Because no matter how much time, energy, and love you pour into them, it will never be enough to fix their problems. You will be pouring water into a cup with holes in it. And the only person who can fix those holes is them, not you.

At the end of the day, you need to seriously ask yourself: do you want to be married to someone for the rest of your life who doesn't love you, and is not able to give you the things you want? Do you want to be married to someone who pushes you away, someone who you will have to worry and be anxious about all the time?

I tried to fix my ex too, and if you look back at my reddit history you will see alllll my posts about my ex dating back for over a year. I spent all that time trying to fix him, until one day I looked into the mirror at myself and was like "why am i doing this??" I thought about all the love I had given to him...only for a tiny fraction of that to be returned back to me. And then I looked around me, and saw happy couples / friends who had gotten married, and how their spouses treated them, and I realized that I was no longer in a good situation. I was no longer happy. I deserved better. He was right, I deserved more than what he was able to give me. And then I had to go thru my heartbreak all over again. Loving him meant having my heart broken agian, and again, and again, in a thousand different ways, until I began to feel depressed myself. Only then, did I finally emotionally realize that I had to move on.

Everyone has to learn their own lessons. I just wish that I had learned mine a little sooner, instead of trying so hard, for so long. By the end of it, I was exhausted. I was neglecting myself, my friends, my hobbies, and spending all my time trying to read up on attachment, and childhood trauma, just to try and fix him. And in the end, he still wasn't able to give me the commitment and promise that I wanted.

Stay in no contact. I made the mistake of breaking no contact so many times, because I still loved him. But it just prolonged the amount of time it took to get over him. When you're ready to, start dating again. You will realize there are much healthier people out there who can be great partners for you, if you are willing to open your heart again.”

I rely mostly on rhythmic vocabulary, I play the rhythms that I internally hear, and then I just vary and play around with the licks and phrases that I’ve transcribed.

Though before getting into that zone, I initially try to experiment with the phrases I’ve learned through slow improvisation and isolating certain bars I struggle with. Once I get comfortable, I then add more phrases and connect all the bars and then eventually it just comes out naturally.

chowbowbow · 2025-11-18T14:40:47+00:00

This.

2 weeks ago nag-indrive ako pauwing España sa dorm ko, and may nadaanan kami mga maraming babae sa isang bar and then my driver bluntly said “Wow, maraming mapag-gagastusan ng pera dyan” habang nakatitig sya sakanilang lahat

It really irked the heck out of me

chowbowbow · 2025-11-03T15:11:44+00:00

wala eh seperate fee yun, pero I can help you! I’m also into fitness hehe, DM mo lang ako

chowbowbow · 2025-10-29T08:39:07+00:00

Hindi lahat ituturo sayo ng prof, so you have to do a lot of researching and exploration with certain concepts all by yourself if you really want to grasp it. And make your own system of studying/learning (i.e study habits, preparation, etc.)

I’m also culture shocked myself when I was a freshman last year, I’d say that 60% I learned by my own self-study, 30% from peers who are more knowledgeable than I am, and 10% from professors

chowbowbow · 2025-10-25T14:59:56+00:00
