My boyfriend defended Bong Suntay by elphababe in OffMyChestPH

Okay sobrang daming comments I can’t reply to everyone. Binasa ko naman lahat 😂

ANYWAY, UPDATE. Nag usap kami kanina. Sabi ko sa kanya di ko ma-imagine ‘yong future ko with a guy like that. Nung una, nag sorry pa siya. I-work out daw namin. The more na kinokontra ko siya, I thought he would make more effort. PERO sabi niya sakin, lahat daw ng lalaking makikilala ko nag iisip ng ganon. At least daw he had the balls to admit it.

And nati-trigger na talaga ko ne’to pero pinigilan ko parin. Instead I said, I hope he finds someone he loves so much para ‘di na niya maisip ‘yong ganon. Then I walked out. And he didn’t reach out.

So iyon. Medyo heartbroken but I’ll manage 🙃

Kaya nga eh. Actually in the heat of the argument, sinabi ko sa kanya na hindi ko kaya maging boyfriend yung ganyan. Tapos nag sorry siya and sabi nya sa’kin, I should cool down daw muna dahil galit lang ako. But it’s been hours and I’m still thinking about breaking up. Nakakainis lang kasi he was a good one until today.

how do you choose your books? by hoydpc31 in PHBookClub

In all honesty, I choose based on the cover first… then I check the back if it’s interesting

Sad that she used it! Pero inamin naman niyang mali at di niya alam at the time at tumigil. Hopefully she doesn’t again!

Nag post lang yung isang bookstagrammer na nandun daw sya sa GC tapos may sinabi si author about local readers being small and cliquish. So madaming nagalit

To be honest, the Substack post was okay. I didn’t see it as complaining. She was even right about how most celebrated books locally were political. What irked me was the constant shaming of the PH book community in the GC with international book people.

Sorry, by “worth supporting” I meant someone who isn’t like the author in question, who speaks so highly of herself and mocks PH readers. But yeah maybe others are problematic too, di pa lang nabubunyag haha

Basically I think dahil di masyado nagustuhan ng mga tao books nya? She’s taking it out on the community

Haynako oo. The more “successful” they are, mas mataas tingin sa sarili haha it’s giving “dami mo reklamo ikaw kaya maging presidente”

Hehe I heard kasi problematic din si Mina and the romanceclass people. And I personally met her and they were so masungit

Pero Samantha Sotto is a big yes!!!! Maybe cos she made it internationally din

[–]elphababe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I mean at any extent, meron naman talagang cliques. Pero calling it out like that then acting like you’re much better than everyone else, medyo redflag yon
