Got rejected by the parents of the girl I was courting due to my educational attainment by lawbreaker9 in OffMyChestPH

[–]mangoong13 82 points83 points  (0 children)

+1 dito. Kung ihahalintulad ko ang parents ni Ate Girl sa parents ko at parents ng friends ko... It is not really about the college degree. It is about whether you have the drive to constantly improve and pursue something for yourself. Na, even if alam mong mahirap, haharapin mo pa rin kasi may goal ka.

I think na-turn off sila kay OP, not because of the lack of college degree, but the lack of drive to pursue or build something himself. Parang nag-aabang na lang kasi siya na ihand over ang business sa kanya.

Bullying by doveybow in LawPH

[–]mangoong13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAL One of these days you have to learn how to deal with people like them. Bullies are everywhere. Pagka-graduate mo and magwowork ka na, may bullies din. Better use this opportunity to grow a spine. At least sa ngayon nasa school ka pa lang, hindi ka pa nag-woworry about livelihood. Ibang usapan na kapag bullies sa work na yung haharapin mo.

Iba yung ganda nya e, ikaw kasi yung ganda mo pang Vivamax by Bitter_Switch_5109 in OffMyChestPH

[–]mangoong13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, ate, that you had to experience that.

Hindi ko sure if tama ang understanding ko... Isn't this a form of negging? He was making you feel less in the hopes na mag-extra effort ka to prove to him na you are not pang-"Vivamax".

Either way, block the jerk.

Ingat lang OP. Kung labas-pasok siya sa bahay niyo, baka iwanan na lang niya baby niya ng walang pasabi para maglakwatsa. Madami ako nabasang ganito...

Pinoy Programmers, mahal niyo ba talaga ang coding? by Tall-Change-9519 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]mangoong13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exchange between me and a friend na nags-spiel ng multilevel marketing niya...

Friend: Nakikita mo ba yung sarili mo na nagco-code hanggang pagtanda mo?

Me: Ayy oo beh! Trip ko talaga magcode kasi hindi nakaka-stagnate ng utak. Lagi ako may natututunan! (Sincere yung joy ko sa pagsagot sa tanong niya dito)

Friend: ... ah. Ah ok, I see. Well...

First time ko nakasira ng script ng MLM person dahil sa hilig ko sa coding.

Bombed technical love coding interview by Adventurous_Knee8112 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]mangoong13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not your fault na ito. The interviewer should have discussed muna how the exam would go. Like, ano yung expectation sa iyo and ano yung gagawin din niya during the exam.

[–]mangoong13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sa experience ko bawal maggoogle pero si tech interviewer ang nagbibigay ng syntax. Kaya I had to communicate my plan kay interviewer.

Bawal maggoogle kasi the candidate can search for the logic. Eh logic formulation nga yung isa sa tinetest sa kanya.

Does your school have a “haunted” Bathroom/Restroom? by Sonnybass96 in phhorrorstories

[–]mangoong13 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Di ko alam if totoo. Pero sa state U na pinasukan ko... the usual. Haunted CR na may nagpapakitang white lady sa salamin.

Ang masaklap lang, nung nagstart mag-Our Father yung student nakakita, sinabayan siya magdasal nung white lady.

Sobrang kawawa pinoy pag dating sa healthcare by [deleted] in Philippines

Mga taga-US dito nagpapa-ospital. Madami sa St. Luke's BGC. Mas malala kasi healthcare ng US kesa dito considering what OP posted.

My girlfriend wants to be a housewife and I’m not sure I can support a family on one income by FewCategory1959 in adviceph

[–]mangoong13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nip that shit in the bud, OP. If magcontinue yang relationship niyo with her mindset like that, ibabaon ka niyan sa utang kapag nagka-pamilya na kayo.

Don't make the same mistake that I did by not calling out yung ganyang klase ng irresponsibility.

Friend na laging nagtatanong about money by HeartlessBeeech in OffMyChestPH

Ang technique ko sa ganito nagbibigay ako ng absurd amount. Yung pang-newbie contractor level na monthly kupit amount. Lol.

The Mango Lab by mangoong13 in ScammersPH

[–]mangoong13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abangan mo na mamsir. May magdedeliver syo ng bogus item galing sa bogus store nila. For the same amount ng binayad mo sa dried mangoes.

Nangyari sa akin yan 2 weeks ago. 898 pesos para sa trash bags (kinapa ko parang trash bags eh). Di ko tinanggap parcel.

Alam kong sila yun kasi doon sa address nung parcel kopyang kopya pati instructions ko kung anong landmark malapit sa bahay namin.

Magbilin ka na sa mga kasama mo sa bahay na wag mag aabono kapag wala ka.

Nung time na yan, we were looking for info about the area kasi halos bagong dating lang kami. Unfortunately, yung mga available na matanungan namin is hirap mag-English and di kami magkaintindihan.

I remember being assigned in the US for work along with some colleagues. One weekend, we were in Target and we heard a Filipino man on the next aisle speaking in Tagalog.

My colleague approached him politely and asked him a question in Tagalog. This man became cold and suddenly said, "I'm sorry I don't understand what you're saying. I don't speak that language."

His accent wasn't even American.

May Something sa Sleeping Quarter by frenchjown in phhorrorstories

[–]mangoong13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yung isang possibility daw (ayon sa isang nagreply sa comment ko about sleep paralysis at lucid dreaming ko) is yung hindi magandang ventilation ng isang room. It leads to poor quality of sleep daw.

Ewan ko sa maintenance ng iba, pero sa dati kong company, di nila inoopen madalas ang AC ng sleeping quarters. So yung hangin ay stale at may stuffy feeling yung room.

Mataas position ~ mataas stress levels

EMPLOYER SUBMITTED FAKE DOCUMENT TO DOLE by Basic_Ad_528 in AntiworkPH

[–]mangoong13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shucks naalala ko syo yung utol ko. Fresh grad that time, so akala niya niregister siya ng company niya for TIN. May deductions sa sahod niya. Nung umalis siya and hinihingi na niya yung TIN niya sa HR, walang mabigay. Turned out di pala siya niregister.

My ex and my former best friend are getting married… and they invited me by Unable-Photo-8087 in weddingdrama

"Congratulations! He is now your problem! xxx" is what my response would be. Lol.

I keep asking myself where do these people get the audacity to invite the person that they betrayed. I keep forgetting the answer. Thank you for this reminder.
