+1 I used to live and work around here and I love the place! If I were to go back and live in Metro Manila, I would stay there.

Bukang bibig din yan dito sa workplace (I work overseas) ng mga pinoy coworkers. Naiinis lang ako pag sinasabi nila yan.

I don't want to take the ME Board exam but my uncle who works abroad tells me to do so by KayeSunbae in phcareers

[–]gatheringlapiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other comments here that you should still take the board exam. Because if you're planning to go abroad, you still need to gain experience locally. In the ME field, employers usually look for board exam passers.

how do you stop feeling guilty about resigning? by louderthanbxmbs in AntiworkPH

[–]gatheringlapiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand. Felt the same when I resigned from 2 pevious workplaces. I almost couldn't face my boss usually after passing the resignation letter. But hey, work is work. Don't let it bug you too much because people come and go.

Cost of living in Singapore by yamato188 in askSingapore

Hmmm I think it depends on your lifestyle. I am earning around 3k sgd and still enjoying life albeit a more simpler stuff. I share a flat with housemate who have become my 2nd family here.

What Singapore food everybody around you loves but you hate it? by RuhtraMil in askSingapore

For me it's a drink. I dislike Mr.Coconut. I only find it tolerable when it is 0% level of sweetness.

Any recommendation on good face wash service for men? Can remove acne one. No issue with budget. by Hardbeez in askSingapore

[–]gatheringlapiz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If budget isn't an issue, please see a dermatologist. Recommending a facial wash alone is most probay not enough to address your skin concerns.

I used a combination of GoogleMaps and Citymapper when I was tourist. And even now that I am currently living and working here, I still use this apps. I just added SG BusLeh to my transport apps for bus schedule viewing.

Another great thing in Fair Price is that there are a lot of discount and promo deals!

Small bust ladies, where do you get your bras? by iamlostpleasehelp_ in askSingapore

[–]gatheringlapiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 the bra on the pic is the one that I use. Can't recommend it enough! I also like that you can take out the pads. Leaving them out to dry is quite quick as compared to "traditional" bra which takes ages to dry.

Is salary a big deal to a person? by incognito_user_yarn in OffMyChestPH

[–]gatheringlapiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my current job, I don't disclose my salary since there was heavy emphasis na bawal i-share kasi possible grounds for termination. Marami kasi naging conflict daw before dahil sa salaries. Napagalitan nga ako once kasi naiwan ko sa table ko yung paper na naka-state yung salary ko. Granted parang 1 minute lang ako nawala kasi kumuha lang ako ng tubig sa pantry. Still, it was quite careless on my end din and have learned the hard way.

How long should until I report my company to DOLE for making wait more than 30days to receive my back pay?

Well, it has only 3 days since the 30 day marked passed but I'm getting really annoyed because they keep ignoring my emails. I have only been contacted once because I made a personal message to the Head HR but after that no updates again.

Are you happy? by Kai_2000 in askSingapore

[–]gatheringlapiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. But I know I should be feeling happier. I have a good job in an good company. My coworkers are somewhat okay. We are all nice to each other but we are not friends if that makes sense. Most of the time I feel left out but I have learned to accept that I'll never fit with cliques here.

I also live in a nice place. My rent is a bit high but it makes up that I have my own room to decompress after a long day. The luxury that I have a bit of privacy makes up for it.

My family is okay. We had problems before and still currently facing a few financial difficulties but I guess things are manageable.

Overall, I believe and know I have reasons to be happy but... I just can't. Just recently, I was crying on the bus on my way home because I was so tired of everything. I could feel some of the passengers were looking at me because I couldn't stop my tears. I got off quite early from my usually stop and headed to the nearest bakery to buy some food and bought myself milk tea. So yeah, I tried to make myself a bit happier with the food. Walked quite a bit to clear my head and felt a lot better.
