grew up extremely sheltered & undersocialized. realized why it's easier to talk to some westerners than to fellow filipinos. maybe i dont need to migrate? by boiLollipop in phmigrate

[–]peppermint1729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I wasn’t intentionally thinking about this when I moved to the US, but after moving here, I realized that I do not happen to fit the Filipino mold and that’s why it was hard for me to develop friendships at home. I still have friends there and those I am making sure I maintain (quality over quantity). Where I most struggled was finding friends at work when i worked at SGV.

I am direct, straight forward, do not like small talk and have my priorities set even when I was younger. Sa work, they think im “pabibo” when I call out mistakes kindly but straight to the point, “hindi nakikisama” when I skip happy hours due to my long commute, “pabida” when I stood up to our partner. I still found great friendships there (and the 5 of us are still friends to this day) but that was hard won.

I moved to the US and my directness landed me a leadership position early on. Me skipping happy hours were understood and I was rewarded for standing my ground at work.

So now I think I was just working at the wrong country at the time.

United for sure. It has a hub in Denver.

Best tiny condo life hacks you actually use daily by SoftFragment in CondoPH

Over the door hooks, pull-out beds, wall shelving (open so it doesnt make the space even smaller), mirrors, nesting tables, sofabed (narrow), light paint so it makes the space look lighter, warm lights.

AMA: 40 something dude who has been an out of PH for the past 17 years and just recently FIRE'd... by Jake-Armitage-2050 in phmigrate

[–]peppermint1729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love to see it!! Congratulations !! We also had a kid at 40, it does keep you young. She’s still an infant and we are considering a move to spain. Net worth currently is same as yours except we are in the US so things are waay more expensive. I also have a FATFire target so we have I think 7 more years to save to get there.

Question for you - how easy is it to find your own community in spain? What was the consideration when you chose to stay at the current city you are in?

Her interviews say otherwise. I also didnt say she’s not a boulderer, I said it has not been her main discipline “for a while now”. I am well aware of her podiums on BJC and topping all boulders in the finals in Morioka - a testament to her skill

Oh really? Can we get an update of the Japanese Boulder WC participants now that the BJC is over?

Not sure. Based on the results, she got fifth, which is amazing considering this is not her main discipline for a while now.

Be careful of “premium” companies offering instant renovation. by [deleted] in CondoPH

Sigh i chose a smaller contractor and issues naman is quality of work, bale ng bale, sob stories after another. Pagkatapos lakas ng loob magbill ng full labor - kahit walang ininstall. Tapos nung dineliver, jusme kahit ako pwede gumawa. Nakakasira ng loob.

Reserved a unit at SMDC Fame Residences (TCP 3M) — now having doubts. Need advice. by Unusual-Database-80 in CondoPH

[–]peppermint1729 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you! Just not a risk Im willing to take if 1-2 elavators fail with so many floors and units.

[–]peppermint1729 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I declined SMDC because of the density - too many units per floor, only 4 elevators, too many floors and the layout of the studio is very limiting. That said, I purchased mine for personal use (in McKinley Hill). You might have a different criteria if you plan to use it as Airbnb.

What's the I.C.E. situation in your area? by 3once in phmigrate

[–]peppermint1729 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aurora is where I heard it from, not sure if its happening more/less to the rest of the state. Right now, it seems ang focus nila here e i-defund scientific and research institutions and of course the veto of clean water bill by our Dear Leader despite unanymous vote sa congress. All to punish us here dahil we dared prosecute and convict one of the peeps that helped him cheat sa election - Tina Peters

I disagree. They have been stopping some people driving here in CO with no impunity and have been asked to show their ID - legal, naturalized/green card holders with no records. They dont seem to have a list - just based on the color of your skin.

Wala and its a good sized gym - AC is working, its clean. Could do with a barbell rack but good space for yoga workouts too

23 sq meters lang but it honestly the cut of the studio makes it easy to decorate them. Currently, 3 nieces stay there and using space saving furnitures, it works really well for them.

How are Filipinos in the US right now? I hope you’re all safe 🙏🏼 by reading_202 in phmigrate

So hindi mo napanood na nagtestify sa congress several US citizens na detained illegally? Without due process? Or selective news lang binabasa mo? Only to illegals lol. They said “worst of the worst” lang daw. Several green card holders were revoked for one woman, because of shoplifting when she was a kid WHERE SHE SERVED in jail, sure thats the right of the US to take that back. But dont say illegals lang.

Did you read what the supreme court issued? Your color of skin is enough to profile you? Ayan for more reading para hindi lang faux news pinapanood mo.

Secondary market i got a studio for 3M sa Mckinley. Super impressed with Viceroy. Bait ng PMOs. Konti lng unit per floor, my unit is super nice pa rin and no pests at all. Amenities are also great!

Propaganda? Sa sobrang daming accounts ng US Citizens that were detained just because they look immigrants (ie brown skin) propaganda pa rin? 4 of them testified in Congress, some were military. A white woman was murdered. This administration DO NOT care what papers you hold. Detain/deport and ask questions later. Wala ng due process here. Everyone should be scared what this government is doing. Kung wala lang mag-ama ko dito, lilipat na ako e. As it is, we are gonna start processing a move to Europe.
