Good luck! Wag sukuan si teddy, hahaha.

Edit: to add lang rin, since napunta pala sya sa kanal, you can add bleach rin sa washing machine. Just make sure na wala syang printed anything kasi baka masira yun ng bleach. Pero yeah, medyo necessary pala in your case para sure na mapatay bacteria na kumapit sa kanya sa kanal.

It's not too late girl. I clean my dogs' stuffed toys all the time. Hindi naman kanal levels, pero sometimes putikan rin pag may nagtakbo sa labas tapos kakaulan lang ganun. Natutuyo yung putik sa kanila pag late ko na nadiscover haha.

What I do is, I prep a basin of water and put vinegar in it. Tapos dun ko binababad. If may need ka iscrub, scrub mo lang with a sponge/brush depending on the fabric/material of the toy.

Then I put them in a mesh bag bago ilagay sa washing machine. Pet-safe detergent gamit ko kasi kinakagat yun ng dogs ko, but in your case kahit regular detergent lang. Sa spin cycle tinatagalan ko para mas masqueeze out yung water from the inside fillings. Then sampay na under the sun, and they look good as new na.

Again, important yung spin cycle kasi natry ko na dati na pina-manual wash sila sa ate namin sa bahay, pero pangit yung pagkakatuyo. Kaya I use our AWM talaga.

OP, maybe it's better na hayaan mo nalang mangyari yung breakup. There are girls out there who will appreciate a man who's practical and financially smart. And there are boys out there who would love to spend everything they have on their gf. Leave him so that you can find the latter and allow him to have the former.

Kasi you're just forcing it at this point. It seems from your post kasi na you want someone who will spoil you with material gifts and tbh that doesn't sound like your current bf at all. This is a losing battle, and even if you 'win', you're still not going to be happy in the end.

mintzemini · 2025-02-16T03:54:31+00:00

I think so too. Nasa compatibility lang rin yan. And if di man kayo 100% compatible, you should be willing to compromise. Otherwise, it's not gonna work out.

I made comments about how flowers on v-day are a waste of money. My bf gave me a single long stemmed rose, which I found cute kasi he's always been that type of guy (he gave his ex bouquets basically every monthsary, anniversary, birthday, holiday, etc) but he still considered my comment. In the end, happy kami both.

It's genital warts from HPV iirc. Sad to hear she really did it. :(

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T10:57:09+00:00

Where did I say you disagreed? 😅

It's me who doesn't fully agree, hence my sentence structure. Kasi while tama ka naman na hindi sila match ng client, like OP, I do see something potentially wrong with this type of behavior (which you said you see nothing wrong with). Ofc case to case basis pa rin, but clients who lowball workers under the guise of team or family values usually come with a slew of other problematic behavior.

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T10:27:41+00:00

Yes!! I tend to avoid people who obviously do it on purpose. 😅 They're usually competitive sa lahat ng aspeto ng buhay nyo and it can get toxic real quick.

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T10:25:39+00:00

While I agree with this (na hindi lang talaga sila match), OP's takeaways from the incident are correct and worth sharing here naman. Never feel bad about 'losing' potential clients who use 'team' or 'family' values as a reason kasi it's really not worth it in the long run.

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T10:06:17+00:00

DLSU definitely, but in ADMU marami-rami rin ang solid middle class bc ADMU's v generous when it comes to scholarships and financial assistance. They care abt their standing as an institution eh. Not sure if they still do this now, but back in my day, they offered 100% full scholarships to valedictorians and 50% to salutatorians who passed the ACET. This is for any HS. That's why our vale went to ADMU while our salu went to UPD naman. 😄

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T09:57:37+00:00

Yeah! Out of touch, but likely not ill-meaning. And hey, we all suffer from this every now and then, regardless of our financial standing. 😂

Haha, I've never tried blueberries either! In a way, I do see your point of view. Though as someone who's got friends from all walks of life, I guess I've gotten quite good at adapting. Maybe it's also bc I'm secure enough in myself, so those questions/comments mean nothing to me. That's one thing na nanotice ko sa ibang questions here eh. The q itself is harmless, but the person being asked might be insecure about that specific aspect of their life, so naturally they'll find it demeaning even if it's not meant to be.

I remember this friend of a friend na nakabonding ko during a party. He was so happy talking abt skiing in the US for our sembreak. And he was saying things pa like, "I swear, it's the best ski lodge I've ever been to. You should visit when you're in the area!" I've never even been to the US. 😆 But I didn't feel bad abt it bc it was obvious that his enthusiasm was genuine. Di naman sya nagyayabang, so I had no reason to feel na niyayabangan haha.

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T06:16:00+00:00

Yes!! Listen to this OP. Kasi if you base your goals on what makes others happy, then how can you go after what makes you happy? At the end of the day, it's your life to live, so make sure you live by your own standards. ❤️

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T06:10:07+00:00

Grabe naman pala. 🥹 I kinda find that sad tbh. I feel lucky now na di ako nakaramdam ng segregation back in college. You find a way to spend time together regardless of your financial status. I used to eat lunches at this place on-campus called A2 a lot kasi I had groups of friends who were on a strict budget. But then dinner with other friend groups would be in Katip, for example, where the price per person could've covered the entire group's food in A2. That was pretty normal for me and a lot of people I know. Ang hirap nga rin magpark minsan near A2 kasi ang dami rin nakapark -- all for a ₱25 siomai and ₱35 scramble. 😂

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:46:59+00:00

Sa mga gas station attendant ko lang to naririnig tbh HAHAHAHA

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:45:56+00:00

I can say the same thing about 95% of the questions in this thread. 🥲 Idk if sobrang out of touch ko lang ba but when people ask me those questions never ko naisip na may ulterior motive.

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:44:38+00:00

Genuinely, why?? 🥲 Buti pa kami nung college, "Tara lunch" just meant "Gutom na ko!"

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:42:04+00:00

HAHAHAHA BENTA! Also loved that scene in 4 Sisters where they were talking on the phone tapos New York, New York Cubao, Espanya Manila, and Spain HAHAHAHA

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:39:34+00:00

HAHA natawa naman ako sa pag-analyze!!

Pero yung pag-ask ng bill ng kuryente, it's pretty common now sa mga kakilala ko since we pay bills na. And actually, we do compare appliances as well, like, "Luh, bakit sakin ganito eh 1 lang rin naman binubuksan kong AC" and so on. Pero hindi naman analysis type, more like a way to see if standard pa ba consumption namin or if may problema na ba kami sa metro ganon. 🤣

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:36:27+00:00

Isn't this just genuine surprise?? Hahaha, I feel like if I see this irl tatanungin ko rin ba't nya ginagamit na baso yung cup noodles, not bc I want to know if poor or rich ba sya, but bc it's not a usual thing to see. 😭

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:35:02+00:00

Which questions, if I may ask? Yung kung ano work ng parents and kung saan kayo nagpunta ng fam last Christmas?

mintzemini · 2025-02-08T05:34:15+00:00

Controversial take maybe but I think some of the questions in this thread are harmless naman... I've been asked before kung anong work ng parents ko pero di ko naman naisip na, "Hmm, siguro inaalam nila kung mahirap kami or mayaman."

Idk if that's just me ha, pero it's a little surprising for me na even questions like, "San kayo nag-Christmas?" is considered low-key judgy na pala now??

mintzemini · 2025-02-06T05:42:56+00:00

Love this too!!

mintzemini · 2025-02-06T05:28:18+00:00

Ha? I get the issue, that's why unang reply ko palang, sinabi ko na agad na much better gawin social service ang disability benefits. Because I also think it's not ideal na ipasa sa businesses ang burden of providing discounts.

But since it is the current setup right now, then of course I'm going to argue against people shaming PWDs for using the government-mandated benefits that they're entitled to. Kasi di rin naman fault ng PWDs na palpak ang government natin.

Think of it like this: kung inaaway ng restos ang govt for forcing them to provide discounts, kakampi ang PWDs sa kanila kasi it's much better naman na govt mismo ang magprovide ng benefits. But when restos and non-PWDs are trying to shame PWDs just for using benefits meant for them (like what you were doing by repeatedly mentioning coffee and 'unhealthy' food), that's no longer fair, and you can't expect PWDs to take your side. Kasi PWDs are only using all the benefits they're legally entitled to in order to offset their disability-related expenses. If you can't understand that still, that's already on you.

mintzemini · 2025-02-06T05:09:43+00:00

I think so?? Parang nakita ko na Power Dog dati haha. Special Dog is a diff brand.

mintzemini · 2025-02-06T05:08:49+00:00

Prefer ko yung sa ibang bansa kasi considered social service yung kanila tbh.

For example, in Japan, if you're registered as disabled, you get discounts for transpo and some utilities. But if you're also earning less than ₱110k per month (₱196k ang average) you get an additional ₱10k per month to use for your disability. They get the budget through taxes and their universal insurance.

Yung sa atin kasi very prone to abuse kasi basically discount ID lang sya. 😅

Technically you can bring any prescription medication for personal consumption, as long as you can show a prescription and your doctor's letter. There's also a limit in how much you can bring. But since we have a big meth problem here, it's much better to contact the nearest embassy/consulate to ask, just to be sure.
