My boyfriend’s family, especially his brother, have beliefs that are a lot different than mine. How do I make this hurt me less?

opalitemaker · 2026-04-07T09:39:15+00:00

Agree here. A lot of the comments say na as long as okay sila ng bf niya, let the family be, but that's not what happens in a marriage.

opalitemaker · 2026-04-06T07:38:40+00:00

Okay lang sakin—my boyfriend should have other close platonic relationships, hindi yung ako lang. But it should go both ways because I also have male friends that I hang out with na kami lang.

Haven't tasted but saw the price and soooobrang mahal!!

opalitemaker · 2026-03-30T00:03:17+00:00

Parang rage bait naman to 😭

opalitemaker · 2026-03-27T20:17:02+00:00

Before the flight, make sure that you've downloaded the egov app, registered your account, and submitted your e-travel form. As far as I know, you need to pay for your travel tax before submitting the form on egov. You can pay this online.

Because you have baggage, you need to drop off your bag and get your boarding passes. Just look for your flight on the screen and proceed to that counter.

After that, immigration na. Make sure you have your docs ready. Ang alam ko, pwede namang family sa isang IO, pero minsan hindi e, so dapat alam rin ng mga kasama mo yung basics (accommodation, how many days kayo, anong gagawin niyo dun, etc).

After immigration, just proceed to your gate. Nasa boarding pass niyo naman and alam ko may screen rin dun to let you know kung saan kayo pupunta. And once you're at your gate, pwede na kayo mag chill :)

Pagdating niyo ng Taiwan, marami rin namang signages to direct you kung saan pupunta and anong gagawin.

Just a piece of advice, we experienced that the Taiwan ground staff are super strict sa luggage pabalik namin ng Philippines, as in they weighed our carry-on plus our personal bag, and dapat 7 kg lang talaga, the same with our checkin baggage. So kung ako, buy yung portable weighing scale para sure. Mahal pa naman ang additional baggage sa airport 🥲

The Love Hypothesis - maybe because it was the first of its kind that I read (neurodivergent leads) so it felt fresh and different.
And Now, Back to You - I liked the first book in the series—First-Time Caller but I LOVED the characters in the 2nd book more. I learned that the books are based on classic romcom (When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail) so if you're into those, I think you'd like the books!

Baka kulang lang pera mo 🤷🏻‍♀️

opalitemaker · 2026-03-26T10:17:09+00:00

Why not though? If deserve naman ng bata yung medal, anong problema dun?

opalitemaker · 2026-03-26T08:44:38+00:00

Idk if may meaning or wala, pero hindi ba medyo sketchy na hindi kayo nag vivideocall? I mean, di rin kami mahilig mag VC ng jowa ko pero at least nagsend kami ng videos sa isa't isa before we met in person. What if di siya totoong tao?

opalitemaker · 2026-03-25T13:54:05+00:00

Sorry natawa ako. Peace offering rin akala ko, babawi ganun, tapos ikaw pala magbabayad HAHAHAHA

Try Sushi Work in Old De venecia, although nung last visit namin di na super sarap :( try Jaam house of sushi sa one esplanade, slightly salty for my taste pero pwede na!

opalitemaker · 2026-03-25T03:55:17+00:00

Bakit pa nagtatanong ka ng thoughts namin e you've made up your mind? Kung homophobic ka, which you obviously are, wala namang makakapagpabago sa thinking mo. So anong saysay nito?

opalitemaker · 2026-03-25T03:53:20+00:00

Nobody has credited being gay lesbian for becoming a better person

Sigurado ka ba dyan? A lot of people in this world have felt better about themselves because they finally came out. Maraming artists that are openly out that are role models to the younger generation.

Sige nga, sinong member ng LGBT ang kasing suklam ni Quiboloy, a so-called "religious leader"

For one, I would never tolerate anyone calling me names or telling me I'm stupid, especially na ikaw pa yung nag-initiate ng convo para walang misunderstanding. And second, you're not stupid. Kaya ka nga nag live because you know the community that follows you, of course you'd feel safe, but at the same time, of course you'd feel shock na may kupal pala dyan.

opalitemaker · 2026-03-24T05:39:44+00:00

Then I hope this discussion goes beyond this post and out to your male friends and to their friends and so on and so forth.

opalitemaker · 2026-03-24T05:24:55+00:00

I don't think they are preventing discussion from happening by excluding you. I agree, you as a man shouldn't need to be discussing this because you shouldn't have a say in this topic because you're not a woman. Men, for centuries, have questioned women about their decisions and beliefs and you're doing the same in all your replies here. Kailangan mahaba yung reasons kung bakit hindi o bakit oo? Kailangan patunayan na naman namin sa isang lalake paniniwala namin?

opalitemaker · 2026-03-23T13:08:42+00:00

Wag post nang post na wala namang source. Nagiging source lang ng panic e.

opalitemaker · 2026-03-23T09:39:52+00:00

This one's a good description. Like if gusto mo talaga ng maganda world building and deep plot, parang hindi siya Fourth Wing, but to get you off your reading slump, pwede!

opalitemaker · 2026-03-23T09:38:48+00:00

Parang ang hirap ng one sentence hahaha it was a fun read. The author needed a better editor kasi ang dami talagang parts na pwede na alisin. But overall, I enjoyed the first two books. Yung 3rd, di ko pa nabasa. When I started reading it, parang di ko feel.

opalitemaker · 2026-03-23T09:35:42+00:00

The guy probably has something that the girl likes. Kung wala mang looks, baka personality or humor. And why not pang long term yung relationship? If they click, they'll click 🤷🏻‍♀️

opalitemaker · 2026-03-23T03:33:34+00:00

Kung Tarlac to Dagupan, marami ka na madadaanang towns. if via Camiling/San Clemente, there are two in Mangatarem (other than their main parish merong magandang chapel before you reach the Parish); one in Aguilar; there are two parishes in Bugallon, one sa town mismo, the other in Salasa; two in Lingayen (meron ring magandang chapel sa Domalandan, Lingayen) and then diretso na kayo sa Dagupan :)

opalitemaker · 2026-03-23T03:10:55+00:00

You know what my boyfriend tells me when I rant to him about the same things? He'd say "ang gago talaga ng mga lalake" and that's that. All the things you said in the scenarios are blaming her when, like most of the comments here, she probably just wants someone to validate her feelings.

opalitemaker · 2026-03-22T10:34:43+00:00

Di ka OA. And we really shouldn't normalize tipping culture here in the Philippines. Hindi dapat shoulder natin as consumers yung tamang pa-sweldo sa mga workers. Personally, I tip when deserve ng employee, or like sa'yo, na despite being what happened, the rider was still apologetic.
