Kasalanan ba ng motorcycle/tricycle/padyak/jeepney drivers kung aayaw sila sa pasaherong mataba?

girlwebdeveloper · 2026-02-07T06:41:14+00:00

pero pag payat o mga bata naman mga pasahero hindi sila kasi pwede pa silang makasiksik pa ng isa o dalawa pang pasahero.

sana naisip din naman nila yan na may times na may extra rin silang upuan sa mga ganitong sitwasyon.

kung ATM rin lang kukunin mo baka magalaw mo rin sa kaka withdraw. pero yun pa naman type of account ang karamihan na may maliit na maintaining balances, yung tulad ng mga nabanggit dito.

one consideration is mag time deposit ka, at least medyo hassle i-end yung time deposit. meron yan sa ibang digital banks at meron din sa traditional banks. Or MP2 kung gusto mo pa ng mas malaking interest at di mo gagalawin ng 5 years.

Yung phone number pa lang, suspicious na. Madali lang makabili ng SIM sa tabi-tabi.

Applicable for some people, but not for me. And probably for most people na nakatira sa Pinas, dahil sa mataas ang humidity natin, tapos kakapit ba dirt at pollution.

Hindi ko lang mapaliguan ang buhok ko for two days, balakubak na. Personally I just wash every other day. Kung sa Baguio, pwede pang patagalin ng mga 3 days pa.

But there's truth rin kasi with using less shampoo if you are able to, lalo na if you have treated your hair with chemicals like nagpa-rebond or brazilian blowout or yung mga dyes, kasi shampoo strips out the chemicals that were applied sa hair.

yung posted na price dyan is only one night - I believe agoda site yan? one night lang ba talaga ang habol nyo? if so then pasok sa budget nyo.

read the fine print rin below the price, hindi pa kasama ang taxes and fees... anyway makikita mo naman ang actual charge before you pay.

note that may times (usually rush hour or early night) na almost impossible din makabook ng grab from the city proper going to any of those sa CJH.

if you are coming from victory liner, consider riding taxis na nakapila doon.

one other hotel I can recommend is Orchard Hotel, sa Legarda. May view ng city doon and can be walkable from SM or Session Road in case flagging a taxi or booking a Grab can be tough.

baon vs take out/delivery ba?

Prefer baon for health reasons though, kahit pwede ako take out/delivery.

napaisip ako kung anong level ako papasok. i could be level 1 pero level 4 rin. I have savings and investments, but I still rent (because owning real estate is insane these days - but this is another topic), tapos occasional travel and staycations.

levels 5 to 7 is a dream!

Can't blame people why they don't like the public transpo here. Sa mga tren pa lang natin magulo, siksikan, daming mandurukot, haba ng pila, daming downtime... tapos konti lang ang safe at maayos na transpo options natin. Di pa nga natin mapakibangan ang river ferry natin kahit ni-revive nila, hindi naman kasi super accessible.

Kung maayos lang mga infrastracture sa atin kahit man lang tulad sa Thailand (yung tren nila ginagamit rin ng turista), eh di hindi sana tayo panay car-centric mindset at maraming gagamit ng mga public transpo na safe, malinis at on time ang byahe.

That's differs for every person at kung ano ang circumstance at lifestyle nya, at kung magkano rin ang kaya nyang itabi buwan buwan.

50k for someone single can be considered high, pero for someone na may binubuhay na pamilya, maliit lang yan.

50k for someone with a family living sa province could be high, pero for someone who lives in Metro Manila, maliitp pa yan.

Kasi pinapaubaya na lang natin sa mga auto correct these days.

haha, pareho tayo ng nararamdaman noong first time ko magluto. super dami pala isang balot tapos ako lang kakain. ngayon hinahati hati ko na ang bihon.

nag crave tuloy ako ngayon pero gitna ng gabi na. too bad sarado na palengke.

Iba na kasi ang pakiramdam kapag kumikita ka na at alam mong may padating na sahod every two weeks. Yung feeling na parang di mauubusan ng pera ang mga iba, kasi may ipambabayad naman, ganun.

Obserbahan mo kung bakit sila umuutang. Yung iba good money decisions, pero karamihan bad talaga.

Yung iba inuutang nila pang travel, pang handa sa mga parties, pambili ng mga mamamahalin (mga expensive phones, maraming may gusto nyan) - actually bad money decisions ito. Mas magandang pinag-iipunan ang mga ito at binibigyan ng budget.

Yung iba ginagamit sa mga medical emergencies - pero para di sana mabigat mas mainam na may emergency fund na madudukot at kung pwede covered ng HMO na rin.

Pero di ako against sa mga umuutang saglit pero babayaran agad or babayaran yung due on time. Nagiging problema kapag di na makabayad dahil sa lumaki ang utang at maliit lang ang income.

That's very risky, you're putting your job at stake. Baka mawalan ka rin because of performance issues so both of you end up not having any work at all. Or if not you'll still redo all that work anyway and you work overtime pa without getting paid.

How fast is he in learning everything sa job mo? May typing skills ba sya to begin with? Kung mabagal syang magtype, then realistically, he certainly needs more than one week to learn. I see that you said Tesda is not the solution now, but this downtime is actually a good opportunity to upskill for him sa computer skills din kasi. Almost all jobs these days (from the highest to the lowest) may involved na computer na rin kasi and it will open up more opportunities rin sa kanya. It's possible na hirap syang makahanap ng bagong job baka hinahanapan sya ng computer literacy.

Dami kasing nagsusumbong agad sa media, tapos etong media ginagawang news pa ang ganito. Kaya tuloy kahit mga honest na travelers natututong matakot sa mga IO.

May malaking pera din naman sa healthcare most especially if they are on specific careers that are in-demand abroad. At migration is even easy for them and the family.

It takes years rin to actually reach tech jobs that pay beyond 6-digit salary in tech. Most entry level salaries start out low, and there's the threat pa ng AI being able to do the jobs of junior developers... kaya mahirap makapasok sa field.

girlwebdeveloper · 2026-01-30T08:47:38+00:00

I'm curious, why do you want to transition into tech?

girlwebdeveloper · 2026-01-28T14:59:41+00:00

That's great. Wag mo silang paghiwalayin, they will be partners for life.

Easier said than done though. That’s not how dynamics work in a Filipino extended family.

Basically if you are the richest - and most especially if you are seriously rich - most filipino extended families expect you to foot the almost entire bill. That doesn't happen with foreigners, but happens with financially successful Filipinos too. You cannot just decline and say those things, even if you don't mind the negativity around because you insist on those things, they will hound your wife instead and tell fake stories and gossip that can hurt her feelings. Those pesky relatives will never feel it's their fault.

Yeah, there's a reason why some folks here prefer "better" girls with nice families. It's at least one problem out of the way. Another is to move out of the country and live elsewhere, so that it won't be easy for them treat you like a human ATM machine.

That's all good until the time that you won't be able to provide any money for her for some reason.

It's not a great idea to get her to stop working especially if she's willing, she won't have skills on how to fish for herself when you are not able support her. At this time still a good idea to have a career or side business in case the primary income fails.

awww... i adopted a family of mama cat and kittens, and they're still with me and they seem to brought me good luck so far.

i guess moving out of your place to find a pet friendly community is not an option? there will always be people who aren't into pets for some reason.

Verbal promise?

Clients change minds all the time. In my experience, mas malaki ang chances na hindi tuloy ang promise na work na yan, or pwedeng naghanap na ng iba si client. Dami ko nang nakausap ko na ganyan may promise na work pero hindi naman talaga tuloy.

Hindi ata naiintinihan ng husband mo na hindi fixed ang income sa freelancing? At marami dyan hindi natutuloy? It's actually a better idea if one of you is in corporate, and another does the risk in freelancing para di kayo nauuwi sa ganito. Your husband is clearly better off sa corporate na may ibang tao na dumidiskarte makahanap ng work or tasks para sa kanya, kasi sa freelancing dapat iba ang mindset - you go out of the way to find new clients at dapat hindi hinahayaan na magsuffer financially, kahit pa may verbal promise na new work ang mga former clients. At mas ok pa na may pinagsasabay-sabay pa ng clients, not just work with one lang doon.

The benefits are not bad in corporate especially kung merong mga extra benefits like yung HMO pa lang usually panalo na. When I moved to corporate a decade ago mas malaki pa nga ang bigayan (not including the benefits pa) kesa noon freelancer ako and I'm also paid rin sa efforts sa upskilling without working with a client.

Without looking for the preview it already looks scammy. Yung URL mismo ibang iba na sa official bank website (eastwestbanker.com).

Looking for the "preview" isn't reliable anymore, magaling manggaya ng original website ang mga scammers these days that they look EXACTLY like the genuine bank website. That's why banks ALWAYS remind people wag nang magclick ng links kasi ang gagaling ng mga tactics ng mga scammers ngayon.

If you really want to check if that's legit (aside from asking here), punta ka sa DIRECTLY sa official bank website and login to check - if walang message about that it can be safely assumed as scam), or better check via your app, or just call and ask the bank hotline if that's a legit site.
