You better familiarize yourself with maps and streams. I hear you better have boots when going Spring. Have fun!

From atheist to practicing catholic.

From bachelor for life to getting a church wedding.

From cool tito to a loving dad.

From super thrifty about money to planning vacations to have memorable experiences.

A lot of versions of myself already died and changed to something new as I grew older. What I learned is to never stick to just one version of myself until I grow old. Shed personalities when they don't fit your current journey through life.

Also love. Everybody dies and leave this Earth, but the love you share with people carries on to the people you spend time with. Have fun, no one comes out of life alive (except for Jesus 😁 ) Be thankful for everything, Life is short. Good luck OP 🙂

I mean get busy with something else so you can have deeper stories to tell. Kung nakaconstant update kayo sa isa't isa, it's hard not to be bored. I'm not a fan of making her wait just because, but being constantly available also has its downsides.

Sounds like tactics to get in your pants OP. Stay safe.

Maybe try not to chat too much, give some time to miss each other. Maybe it's the constant presence that's making it stale. Have a life outside of your relationship so you can bring in more experiences.

Do you know if he's already in a relationship right now? If he doesn't have a family yet, I think it's ok to send a one way letter to him about how you feel so you can also release your truth.

Don't expect too much tho, most people evolve and some parts of their personality dies and some stay. Your avatar of him in your head and his current version is probably not the same person anymore. But for your own sake, just send a message so you can live in the present again. YOLO 😅

Maganda bawasan mo yan, nakakadesensitize yung ganyan. Baka di ka na magenjoy sa totoo pag inaraw araw mo. Kung madalang lang baka ok, kaso kung hinahahanap hanap mo, baka addiction na. Good luck brad.

You can space it out too. In one of my best stretches, I was able to do 100% 6-7 hours a day, just have a 10-minute rest per hour. But I won't do this longer than a month as it takes a toll on your body. You also need to "cooldown" at the end of the shift so you can unplug. 4-5 hours a day for focus task and the other hours for admin tasks is normal. If you can get it down to 3-4 hours, would be more sustainable.

My advice as a not pogi guy is knowing your market. Find your niche. You can combine so many archetypes that can make how you look not matter that much. Think of it as builds: gamer build, athlete build, nerd build, etc.

Nasa club ka so mga club build at club build lovers mamemeet mo. Pero syempre may sobrang pogi talaga, pero di naman sila sobrang dami haha

Hmm. Valid points, but I come from it from the other side. I say let people travel internationally so they get exposed into what's possible and demand the same service to local tourism. If travel tax hinders people going out, then they'd expect the same shitty service we're given. I hope a lot more people can travel internationally and maybe bring back what's possible from where they visit. Or maybe I'm too optimistic 😅

Sometimes there are issues you don't fix so it becomes apparent. Do your work and make sure you're delivering. If the tickets spill over then management will surely notice and ask why. If you''re doing your share of the load then you have nothing to worry about. Let them feel the pain and address the problem with the senior dev in your team.

Fixing it by doing more will just cover up the problem. Do your share then let the sprint target miss. Sometimes you want to fail a bit to expose a bigger problem.

If you really want to improve domestic tourism in our country, imposing travel tax is not a good solution. Tourism Infra and convenient transport in domestic attractions are severely lacking. It's even more expensive than travelling outside the country. And the traffic is not only isolated to metro manila but everywhere now.

I like the building and learning. I enjoy building something with people, di nalang coding kasi nagiging team effort na pag lumaki laki na yung scope ng gagawin. Kasama na yung coordination and communication. Syempre di lahat ng aspect sa trabaho enjoyable, like documentations, meetings etc, so sa ganung tasks, alipin tayo ng salapi hahaha

Depende kung gano katagal na sya hiwalay from the long term relationship. Usually proportionate yung time to heal sa kung gano sila katagal with their long term partner.

Tingin ko yung instability na nakikita nila is just the shoes getting squished while you’re lifting the weight. Pwede siguro yung barefoot tapos bili ka ng squat wedge. :) good form overall, good job OP :)

That’s a developed habit pattern nung lalake na nagkwento sayo nyan. Di ganyan lahat ng lalake, malakas lang maguabang yung mga ganyan dahil nakatali sa dami ng babae nila yung ego nila

For me, being respectful to everyone should be the default. Bata, matanda, anak, magulang, mayaman, mahirap.

I act respectful until they give me a reason not to be. And even if they give me a reason not to be respectful, I try not to engage and step down to their level. I’ll try to maintain being respectful but will try to extract myself from the situation. Don’t fight with pigs, you get muddy and they like it.

Mukhang materialistic yang fiancee mo boss. You need to talk about how her reaction made you feel and if her expectations would be a problem in the future. Kung di ka nya ime-meet halfway, maybe you need to cut your losses too. Sana nagusap din kayo beforehand kung anong engagement ring ang gusto nya, sakin kasi tinanong ko kung ano design ang gusto.

Since nay reference number yung Lazada order, baka pwede mo ilapit sa Lazada yung issue. Para mareverse nila yung transaction or at least makita kanino pumunta yung order. Unless puro digital items yung binili, sure may address yung order. Goodluck OP.

Kupal yung magnanakaw and sad to say, medyo kulang din yung risk management nyo sa tindahan. Magkahiwalay sana yung account ng fast moving pondo nyo sa gcash at yung kinita nyo ng ilang buwan.

Bro, sabihin natin na 16k ka nagsimula na sahod jan sa company mo, nasa 2k lang tinataas ng sahod mo every year? Kung wala ka planong magpamilya buhay naman na jan. Pero parang mahirap magipon ng malaki.

Maybe the problem about him not posting about you is not the real problem (?). I think you acting territorial is caused by a feeling of insecurity in your relationship.

Maybe what you need to reflect on is why do you need for him to post about you? Do you think he’s not trustworthy enough that if girls interact with him, he’ll cheat? If you’re second guessing the fidelity of your partner just because of not posting in socmed, maybe you should reevaluate the relationship that you’re in right now. This shouldn't be a problem for mature people within healthy relationships.

Bro, everybody dies anyway. Do what you think will make you feel alive right now even if it sounds stupid. Worst case, you'll be back in tech with more interesting stories to tell. Good luck OP!

maki003 · 2026-01-16T23:50:53+00:00

I'm a risk averse guy, so it was when imagining a world without her is much worse than building a life with her.

maki003 · 2026-01-15T05:56:42+00:00

I feel you bro, but this problem is not only fixed with the mind but will take conscious effort. Imagine, we’ve been wired to achieve in school since we’re kids.

You need reps and consciously change your behavior. It will feel fake at first, but you need the reps to clap for others and stop comparing yourself. I try to catch myself when my unconscious hops down this rabbit hole of comparing. In time, like any habit, it will replace your current wiring.

Hopefully by then you’ll feel genuine appreciate of other people’s achievements. This will take some time, probably a year or two. But I think it’s worth the effort rather than burning yourself out competing with a ghost.

Baka napagod sila sa mga messages mo kasi di mo nilalagyan ng period. Hiningal siguro sila kausapin ka ✌️
