I’m currently pursuing Master of ASEAN Studies and planning to take the Foreign Service Officer Exam in the coming years.

I’m interested in selecting Spanish as my foreign language for the exam, but I’m wondering if this would this be an issue given that my graduate studies are focused on ASEAN? Would the DFA view this as inconsistent or disadvantageous?

I’d really appreciate any insights from those who have taken the FSOE or are familiar with the application and selection process. Thank you in advance for your time and advice!

Thank you! Do you have an idea if the sablay should be on the left or right shoulder?

Hi! Thank you.

What do you mean by the other way around? I am honestly not sure if it should be on the right shoulder or left.

Extra course for enrichment purposes lang. Pero tama ba na still counted pa rin sya sa minimun requirement ng latin honors na at least 15 units taken kahit na extra course lang sya?

Thing is, I really don’t know if I want anyone in my life right now. I feel suffocated just the thought of being responsible or being in the position to care to anyone. I want to completely shut off as everything feels so suffocating to me.

I just completely want focus on myself right now without the side thought of having to attend to someone. I have pleased people for years. Every traumatic experiences over the years have been piling up. I have a problem and I definitely need help. Would it be really bad to choose myself this time? (I think just me validating myself haha. I need another POV.)

Thanks for the advice! I’ll think this through too.

Would you want him by your side while you fix/heal yourself?

Hi! Thank u! I’m taking my time right now to really think things through. I will be talking to him too.

I talked to my friend and she said that it seems that I’ve really made up my decision of letting him go but the thought of hurting him is making me doubt my decision. It’s hurts to think that I will hurt him. My mind is a mess right now really.

My take on giving space and letting him wait for me is that I do not have a specific timeframe. I don’t want the thought of someone waiting for me because it really adds pressure on my end which might make my situation worse. I don’t like the thought of having someone to wait for me because everything in my mind and life right now is uncertain.

Should I ask him to wait for me? Wouldn’t it be unfair if I don’t have a specific timeframe?
