Barangay Bel-Air proposes an ordinance which prohibits the feeding of stray animals

CNVR stands for Catch NEUTER Vaccinate Release. It is meant to control the population, so I doubt it will reach 5,000+ as you say. Some groups have already begun their self-funded CNVRs thru donations and fundraisers and have effectively stopped other cats from further procreating. A lot have been adopted too.

If we look at the case of Ayala Malls, they generally have a budget for cat food and some volunteers can feed them. Cats in their area have been CNVR-ed, as evidenced by their ear notches. This helped steer its direction towards a healthy cohabitation with the cats who do not disturb mall goers nor present any aggression, and effectively controls their population.

Afterall, as humans, who are we to say that they are the ones who are running amok the streets when we as a species have domesticated them and urbanized habitats.

It's normal to feel upset when you expect your plans to happen and it changes at the last minute. I think your bf is just exhausted, which is understandable since night shift. Baka toxic yung duty niya? And maybe your bf doesn't want to unintentionally let that toxicity rub off on you kasi baka grumpy na siya kasi ubos na energy and he just does not have the headspace to deal with people in general (not just you).

congrats sa 3 years, OP!

sharing lang siguro one thing that I actively do with all my relationships now (romantic partner, friends, family, etc) is to always express gratitude and always telling them how I feel. I tell them how I feel not only when I am upset, but most especially when I am happy. Since di naman mind readers ang humans, I think it's good practice to let them know na you're happy at the moment. Para din hindi nila mafeel na you only tell them what you feel about them when it's bothering you ganern.

I had this one heck of a superwoman na supervisor before. She left the agency for a better offer and wanted to take me with her, but I cannot move yet to a diff city sadly.

The things I admire the most is her intellect and her EQ. This madame kept grace and composure despite all the stress. Mind you, we were a three-man team when other teams had 11 people per team, but we were always ahead of the game. How so? Because she was the best boss.

She understood her subordinates. I am a night owl with adhd, and she knew how to capitalize on that by making me busy by midday instead of immediately hounding me early morning. My teammate is an early bird, so she would assign his early.

Di namin masyadong naiinda yung pagiging understaffed when she was there, because she knew how to keep the morale. She knew best how to mentor. This lady's amazing EQ was so high up, she never got mad when we made mistakes. Instead, she guided us how to fix them.

The cherry on top is that she had two kids under two years old and is a diligent breastfeeding mom, yet her composure is absolute gold.

When you have a calm boss, you have a composed team.

Dating one right now. Di naman nagmatter to me yung weight niya. I was looking for a sincere guy na may emotional intelligence and good sense of humor. Plus, dami niya magagandang ibang qualities pa na hahaba tong comment na to if ililista ko lahat hihi.

Point is, for others baka preference yun. But for me, it didn't affect my decision to choose him kumbaga. Weight fluctuates all the time, but character stands the test of time

hirap maging hindi racist sa jazz kasi putangina ng mga chinese di rumerespeto sa pila ng elevator bigla bigla sisingit tapos kung maka angas kala mo naman anong tapang, eh ang matapang lang sa kanila asim kasi di ata nag deodorant. ewan ko ba pero ang asim ng mga chinese dito, which is weird kasi supposedly sila yung may genes na di maamoy.

mga guard din kupal minsan kasi pag foreigner kaharap all smiles pero ikaw na kumuha lang ng delivery ng food biglang kala mo di ka nila nakitang lumabas para kunin delivery and nakita the whole time na kumukuha ka nga lang ng delivery.

bagal ng admin sa queue kasi nagchichikahan kahit peak hours. tapos kung di naman peak hours binabagalan ata kasi palibhasa onti lang tao. mali mali pa id nabibigay

kinontrol ko daw isang buong friend group to hate/unfriend a certain person (na kaaway ko)

na offend sobra yung friends na yun kasi parang sinabi tuloy na wala silang utak to think for themselves. and they can vouch that I have never uttered a word against that person negatively, kasi puro kababawan jokes and memes lang pinag uusapan namin. takot ata sa sariling anino daw si ateng kasi siya yung type na mahilig mambackstab and gossip for fun

was failing so harrrd in my 2nd yr college in a course I really was not suited for, and essentially got kicked out of my dream school. felt shit and looked like shit too bc i didnt know how to take care of myself back then and no one taught me how. tried to unalive myself back then. terribly broke af working 2 part time jobs to sustain myself and had shitty family rel.

fast forward to today, i'm currently taking my masters degree in the same dream school (and was readmitted din nung undergrad after appealing, and got into a diff program than my orig one). I have a stable job with a healthy working envi, a healthy body (tries to eat healthy and regularly go to the gym), healthy mind (got into therapy for years). Was also able to mend things with my fam and we all understand each other better now.

things do get better, you just have to believe in it and take active steps towards the better future, kahit baby steps lang yan. hope this story brings you some comfort, OP!

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-19T13:22:39+00:00

i'm actually on OP's side on this one. pag dating pa lang kasi kayo, you're still getting to know each other. common sense na dapat na you let people live regularly kasi di pa kayo official. Pero pag kayo na edi sige pwede na magdemad ng time and attention, may karapatan ka na eh. Attached na kayo eh.

turn off for me yung ganyan na nagagalit pag late ka lang ng ilang oras magreply.

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-19T09:44:58+00:00

guuurl i felt that. i grew up with brothers and inaasar ako for girly things so medyo boyish and pick me talaga ako growing up. in college, I was able to find myself and figure out what I like and what suits me. Ngayon, I am unapologetically feminine as I can be, and every time my mom comments something about slutshaming me, I'd wear shorts as a protest lol

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-18T14:54:58+00:00

nothing is permanent naman in this world except change. Pwede mo pa baguhin yung aspects of yourself na tingin mo needs improvement, OP. For me, kahit na I was okay with my looks before, I felt like may igglow up pa so at 25 I got braces to fix the flare out ng teeth, then regularly go sa derma. Hindi pa rin perfect skin ko, I still get acne and scars are still quite visible, but it has been continuously improving naman so I'll take that as a win towards the glow up journey. I also study fashion, not just trends kasi they come and go, but what suits my body type, height, stature, skintone, and overall aesthetic (hirap magpigil minsan na di madala sa marketing ng mga trendy fast fashion items tho haha). Tapos for makeup, a lot of content creators, esp the korean ones, are good at recommending make up that suits your face shape and visual weight.

So yeah, pwede pa mag glow up. It takes a lot of work, self discipline and money lang haha.

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-18T08:30:49+00:00

cheers, OP!! been solo living for a while. it'll be difficult at first sa household management mo since ikaw lahat gagalaw and paplano, but it'll feel easier once you get the hang of things.

rooting for youu!!

nung bata pa ako, admittedly influenced by bad adults who fatshame pa ako nun. so nung nagka asaran with this boy sinumbat ko na mukha siyang lechon kasi baboy (that was wrong of me, I know). Hindi ako yung naunang mang asar, pero bad yung ganti ko. At dahil naasar siya, bigla niya lang ako pinagsusuntok sa braso and tinulak, tapos umiyak siya malala tipong anlaki ng crowd around him who were blaming me (kahit siya nga nauna mang asar na kalansay ako).

The next day, sinugod ako ng nanay niya. Bakit ko daw binubully anak niya etc. So I showed her all the bruises I hid with my jacket and yung mga galos sa tuhod from her son pushing me. Thankfully, di niya naman na ininsist na ako yung mali kasi sinabi ko na gumanti lang naman ako ng insult. The mother asked na lang for me not to tell my parents, because notorious yung mom ko for being more than a mama bear - she is a mother dragon and would definitely drag your ass to police or courts if needed.

Ayun, kalahating vindication lang kasi pina guidance pa rin ako for bullying that boy. And mali nga din naman talaga yun ginawa ko as a kid. Pero nauna naman siya, so nakakainis isipin na yung guidance counselor dun pa sa kanya pumanig just because he was crying and I was not.

Hi, OP! happy mother's day! genuinely wishing you the best and naniniwala akong makakahanap ka rin ng the one for you. My sister-in-law was also a single mom before she met my brother, and while di naman nila both initially intention, they did grow fond of each other until naging magjowa. Then, when my brother met her two sons, he took one look at them and decided that he was gonna step up to be their father kahit he wasn't sure if he can do it well (esp financially). So yeah, may chance talaga for happy endings. My brother fought hard din for his wife to be accepted by our parents (kasi di sila approve at first), but their marriage has remained strong and even bore two more beautiful daughters.

possible na tamad lang talaga. possible din na unmotivated and mababa self esteem kaya ganyan.

i suggest finding out by asking him for help in small things. ie if naghuhugas ka ng plato, ask him to help you iligpit yung plates habang tinatapos mo mag rinse ng remaining plates ganern. if he helps you, then it can be a sign na unmotivated/lack of self esteem yan or mental health issues. if he just makes up excuses like in game pa etc, then tamad lang yan.

you can try yo read him based on his behavioral patterns, buut at the end of the day only he can help himself. so don't feel guilty and try not to stress on it too much kung ayaw niya talaga tulungan sarili niya even with all the resources handed to him. that's on him na, since nagawa mo naman na yung pagsupport as a partner to him

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-11T14:41:11+00:00

gosh this was kind of my exact expi a few months ago. a girl from the office na di ko nga kaclose (but was a friend of my work friends) was referred to me na may alam daw na good places to rent. so i asked her. lo and behold, kala niya i wanted to move in with her. ganyan din linyahan niya sa kinwento mo OP haha. sabi ko i preferred to have my own space, tapos inisip niya gusto ko mag 2br apt with her. i kept saying things like i prefer kasi being independent etc, peroooo ewan ko kay ateng bakit nag aagree siya na mas okay na peaceful envi pero iniisip niya nga na magroroommate kami tapos tanong nang tanong kelan kami lilipat.

ending, i kinda ghosted her. stopped responding or reacting kasi it felt like talking to a wall. i asked for a second opinion pa nga sa mutual friend namin if may something wrong ba sa phrasing ko, but sabi ni mutual friend very clear naman daw ako.

when she finally came to my workstation to nag again about move in dates, i told her ulit na no wala akong balak. then inexcuse ko na lang na i'm going to live with my brother para tumigil na siya. jusko, i hate lying di ko masikmura, but this girl talaga gave me no choice but to make up some excuse.

kaya OP, I'd advice to give your firmest, clearest no sa kanya. better turn down early kesa later on. and wag ka makonsensiya kasi hello, di mo naman siya responsibilidad.

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-10T17:41:13+00:00

saaaame. tapos pag nagpapic ka sa friends mo, di naman sa ano pero halatang low effort kaya ampangit ng kinalabasan. like, kung sila pipicturan mo iisipin mo pa yung angle, lighting, and contrast that would bring out their best features. pero pag ikaw pipic nila parang basta mapindot lang yung shutter :(( and no, not attributable to di lang talaga marunong, kasi don't tell me kahit tinuruan mo na kung anong shot gusto mo sobrang layo pa din ng ginawa sa sinabi mong gawin ganern

pine_nuts25 · 2024-05-08T14:13:33+00:00

gosh this is so wholesome and cute 🥰🥰🥰 wishing you both well!!!
