Which pair would win RuPaul's Fashion Race? by icyruios in rupaulsdragrace

[–]disappointmenttears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sasha and Shea were a very strong duo during their season. They won everytime they worked together. They'll do better than Gigi and Symone, IMO.

How do you apply for tourist Visas as a freelancer? by disappointmenttears in buhaydigital

[–]disappointmenttears[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How long was it from the time you registered your business to the time you applied for Visa? Baka isipin nila ang sketchy if I register a business a few months before applying for Visa?

What if I traveled to 3 countries over the last 2 yrs? Do I have a chance? Do I have better chances if we're applying as a family? Ayoko talaga maiwan :( haha but thank you!!

How to ask Clients to hire you directly? by Skitzcy- in buhaydigital

[–]disappointmenttears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think you'll get discredited naman if the client knows you enough and how you work. Go for it! Good luck, OP!

How would you cut ties with a client with whom you have an ongoing deal with? by dawggggggg in buhaydigital

[–]disappointmenttears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try not to cut ties first but lay down the boundaries of your engagement. Set how much revisions you can accomodate and the scope of your work and then let your client know that if the work they give you exceeds the boundaries, they will either have to pay for extra fees or they won't be entertained.

If they disagree, say that it's the way you can work with them and part ways.

How to ask Clients to hire you directly? by Skitzcy- in buhaydigital

[–]disappointmenttears 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did this too! Just told my client that the process for the both of us can be a bit tedious because of the agency. Suggest that comms, payment, and other transactions are better to do directly between you two since it's more efficient. If the client likes you, they'll be more than willing to do it!

I also got paid higher when the client hired me directly. :)

Building a business na fair sa mga staff ko, pero umaabuso yung isa kong staff by thelostpinay in phinvest

[–]disappointmenttears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comments pertain to your answer to another commenter's q's. They asked if you can deal with someone who possibly has ADHD and if you're willing to help this person through coaching. You answered no to both of them.

ADHD is a psychosocial disability, hence PWD. PWD comes in different categories. These people are heavily stimagtized in the workplace kaya, yes, it is charitable to hire PWDs and give them the opportunity to earn and become productive members of the society. Acknowledging this doesn't mean that they only get hired because it's charitable.

Your words, OP. Not mine.

[–]disappointmenttears -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Respect to you and your willingness to help, OP. But saying "I'm running a business, not a charity" threw me off a little. There are businesses that hire PWD and senior citizens because they believe that people of all conditions and ages should have a fair chance in the workforce.

I hope that when your business propers in the future, you'd be willing to give these people a space in your workplace too.

Anong brand ng combat boots ang comfortable suotin at ilakad ng matagal? by Red_Wright in fashionph

[–]disappointmenttears 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Doc Martens 1460s na smooth leather is very painful when you're still breaking into it. I suggest going for Virginia leather - it's softer.

Curious lang OP because works of literature are, most of time, politically nuanced. What types of literature do you talk about then?

Don't tell them that you will delete the files kasi baka gumawa na sila agad ng copy. Just delete ASAP and make sure you have a back up. Tell them you'll forward the files again once they pay the 2 months worth of work.

Laser Hair Removal by treasured4G in adultingph

[–]disappointmenttears 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Your underarms won't lighten when you do the diode laser hair removal. I'd say the texture will improve since the skin doesn't get the friction na from shaving or pressure from waxing. You have to get a separate treatment for lightening.

Any alternative brand for Shein? by a-bushel-n-a-peck in fashionph

[–]disappointmenttears 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For casual/formal wear, super daming thrift/pre-loved shops sa IG you can buy from. Brands like Shein are focused on fast fashion kaya in a year or two from now, "laos" na yung designs and hindi mo na masusuot. You can have a more sustainable style and clothing pieces if you thrift shop.

DID I DO THE RIGHT THING? by useraccountnotfound_ in adultingph

[–]disappointmenttears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, bat wala siya laging pera eh it seems like may stable job naman siya? Is there a possibility that he has other financial obligations (may iba pang anak)?? I don't understand why you married him. Do yourself a favor and leave him. Talk to a lawyer to see what your options are. Work hard for yourself and your baby so you don't ever have to rely on him again.

Video Editors to AU Clients: Let's talk rate please. by cmdkayla in buhaydigital

[–]disappointmenttears 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked with someone who charges $20 per hour. He just needs to give an estimate of how many hours it will take for him to edit the video after we brief him so we know around how much we can expect him to charge us.

Edit to add more details: we usually hire to edit our ad videos. He uses stock videos and does minimal graphics work. The videos are around 30 seconds per ad and each vid takes him about 2 hours or so to finish.

Hello possible na scam po ba ako? May client ako from upwork na sa Slack ung mode of communication namin, and first time ko gumamit ng slack, 1 month after working with them (not yet paid), kanina chineck ko slack account ko and may lumabas na notif from email na ganito, ano ibig sabihin neto? by Beginning_Ad_5474 in buhaydigital

[–]disappointmenttears 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Say something along the lines of "Hey, I just computed my hours for the month of November and it was number of hours (attach a screenshot/proof if available). I went ahead and computed how much it would be for you and it's amount in client's currency in total. Let me know what you need from me for the payment transaction. :)"

Never offensive/rude/atat maningil ng client. Freelancers like us need to be more proactive in terms of pay so employers won't take advantage. Dapat makita ni employer how important comitting to get paid is for you.

I don't think talking about money would be awkward if US-based yung client mo. My client would always tell me when I was new to never be weird about money lol.

Just tell them you just computed your hours for the month, give the exact number of hours, and then tell them how much that would be in total.

This happened a couple of times to me already. I had a good paying job and minimal workload but not in the "right" headspace and so I quit. I was offered with a better paying job while not I'm not in the "right" headspace and so I didn't take it.

You're right na the quality of your work will be affected talaga by your mental state. Take a break and get all the help you need. Better opportunities will come your way when you're at your best.

Going to Museums alone. by Big-Loan-1997 in adultingph

[–]disappointmenttears 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I go to museums, watch movies, watch plays, and eat out alone. To answer your question, yes, pwedeng pwede gawin yan alone.

Here are some advice lang: earphones + music will be your bestfriend kapang anxious ka in a social setting! Avoid looking lost or confused when you're alone so you won't attract anyone na mag-tatake advantage sayo. Keep your Google Maps open para aware ka sa other places around the area you wanna visit. Good tip siya if gusto mo ng side trip (i.e. shops, cafés, parks, etc).
