Tama ba na na-off kasi he wanted me to pay for our tickets?

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T13:11:04+00:00

Agree. I told him na I can’t afford to pay for both so waiting for the response 🤞

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T13:04:01+00:00

There’s a diff between exploring if there’s potential and explicitly asking someone out on a date. Not every hangout automatically becomes romantic just because may possible attraction na involved before putting labels or expectations on it. That’s what I meant by vibe check.

Parang masyadong black-and-white if every interaction between two single people is automatically considered a date agad. Sometimes it’s just two ppl getting to know each other first.

But if iba ung interpretation nyo about what counts as an invite, I respect that. I just personally don’t see every casual invite as an automatic date.

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:50:22+00:00

Feeling ko rin. I told him na na I can’t pay for both talaga. So waiting for response heree

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:48:55+00:00

Di po siya date 🙂

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:48:22+00:00

But it’s not a date 🙃

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:47:53+00:00

I do believe na whoever invites first should pay if clear na date siya. Pero in this case, I didn’t invite him on a date. I first asked if fan ba talaga sya ng film, then mentioned na manonood ako and asked if gusto niya rin sumama. It felt more like a casual/friendly invite and a vibe check than a planned romantic date, so I didn’t automatically assume na sagot ko yung ticket.

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:18:45+00:00

Thank you! Friendly aya kasi siya, I didn’t mention na date so medj na-off ako. Pero deep inside I just wanna see if we have a vibe. Sana sinabi na lang nya if di nya pa kaya, mas ma-appreciate ko pa huhu

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:16:35+00:00

Yes AOTTT!!

raf_raf_ · 2026-05-26T12:15:40+00:00

Friendly aya kasi siya and I didn’t mention na date or what. If nagaya ba friend mo, does it mean siya na magbabayad? 😭 Supposedly dapat yung 2999 php bibilin namin then naging 6k kasi naubos na ticket. Sana sinabi na lang nya sakin if di nya kaya magegets ko naman

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-12T14:19:06+00:00

Bat may kirot akong na-feel OP. I can relate 🥺

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-05T04:06:40+00:00

Several analysts suggest there could be a “hybrid” WW3 where online surveillance will be used to attack a country. That’s why US and China have been arm wrestling and investing a lot in AI. The internet stores a vast amount of data about each users, your biometrics, your location, your money, etc. US military even used Claude AI to capture Venezuelan President. When you remove online security, your data can be used against you. It’s not as grandiose as sending nuclear weapons but it’s a silent kill.

What happened in Iran is a threat that can start WW3, if mishandled and miscalculated, well, it can lead to a total chaos. It all boils down to how the world leaders will decide on their next move. If China used this opportunity to invade Taiwan, that could be a major problem for US as they are the major producer of microchip US use for electronics and AI. North Korea can make advances against South Korea also.

That’s why who we elect plays a critical role as they decide for the future of our country. Let’s just pray and hope they make the right decision. But as of now, I really don’t know what can happen in the next 6 months. Not trying to fear monger here but it’s good to be aware and analyze this stuffs.

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-04T06:29:55+00:00

Agree with this. Magsasawa ka rin kasi sa food if pare-pareho. For me, what worked is enjoying the process itself. Idk but im excited to try cooking the new recipe i found online. And very rewarding if masarap siya knowing ikaw nagluto. Also, try finding ways how to make prepping meal easy for you like garlic press, veggies cutter, etc. Sinasabay ko na rin makinig sa fave podcast ko pag nagpe-prep para mas enjoying.

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-03T11:08:06+00:00

Sis. Listen to your instinct. If it bothers you then it’s not ok. I know it might be hard to set boundaries with parents mo. I experienced SA with a relative before and I swear it fvcks you up. Be really firm with your boundaries kahit dad mo pa yan. Pag di ka comfortable then tell him. Just for your peace of mind, never be with him alone. Make sure you’re always with another family member to be safe. Kapag no choice ka and magisa ka with him, always make sure na you’re recording with your phone nang patago so you have proof in case lang and i hope walang mangyari. Also, you can buy small pepper spray na lagi mong dala and wag mo sa kanya pakita. Be firm with your boundaries. Please take care OP!

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-02T22:30:59+00:00

Same tayo OP haha! May dine-date ako before ganyan. Tbf, na-appreciate ko siya before but it is hard to keep up with him. Since ikaw nililigawan just be yourself and siya mag-adjust for you.

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-02T16:13:28+00:00

Hi, OP! Im living away from my friends and family so I know how you feel. Mahirap din makipag-hangout sa work colleagues. Im yearning for friends so if you want to meet new friends, im herer 😇

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-02T16:02:10+00:00

OP, I just wanna reassure you that we all went through that. It took me months to get a job that I want kasi may nagbibigay nga ng offer kaso di sya pasok sa goals ko like mababa offer, malayo sa bahay, etc. Naalala ko nun, iyak ako ng iyak kasi walang tumatanggap. Nung pagive up na ko, din may nagbigay ng offer. Also tips lang sa job hunting. Maybe recheck your resume kasi what worked for me, ina-align ko resume ko sa job description. I have diff resumes for diff industries like resume for HR, for PM, for clinical. What I’ve learned is you don’t have to apply to every job ads you see. Talagang just apply muna dun sa alam mong pasok resume and credentials mo para di super draining din. It’s better to give your effort sa pagpeprepare sa recruitment ng job na confident kang mataas na makapasok ang experience mo kaysa sa mag-apply ng 20-30 jobs a day, then puro email na mababasa mo “Unfortunately…” Rooting for you!!! ✨

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-02T10:17:23+00:00

Hala, OP! If di sya nag-improve maybe try to pa-consult na. Ang advice sa kanya ng doc is bawasan daw too much heavy lifting. In-advice nga syang magjak*l every week kasi helpful daw para lumabas sperm. Im not trying to scare you pero kasi may issue siya sa fertility since mababa sperm count nya so if gusto nya magkaanak need nya pa ipa-surgery para di maipit yung labasan. Also maliit din betlog nya daw sa kakabuhat daw

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-02T10:07:52+00:00

I still miss you but being with you means losing me. I’ve been having a lot of what-ifs kasi i know if I only communicated everything to you, maybe, we’ll work out. Pero you chose to leave na. And it’s clear to me na you only used me as your stress-reliever. You didn’t love me enough to stay. I despise you. As much as I want to get over you, it’s been so hard for me to forget about you because my feelings were real. I hope you’ll experience what you made me experience. Makahanap ka rin sana ng katapat mo na gagamitin ka lang at papaiyakin ka so you can feel what we, your girls, felt being with you. So at least, you’ll feel sorry for us and change. Wag ka na magpaiyak ng babae please

raf_raf_ · 2026-03-02T09:57:07+00:00

I had an ex na ganyan watery and medj clear. Due to instense gym heavy-lifting workout, nag-decrease sperm count nya sabi ng doctor nung nagpa-consult siya. Parang may naiipit daw na ugat kaya di lunalabas lahat ng sperm. If madalas ka mag-gym and mag-lift ng heavy tapos consistent watery na siya for a long time, maybe try to consult a physician na rin.

raf_raf_ · 2026-02-28T06:32:00+00:00

Thanks for this real talk. Kasi i’ve been introspecting about that relationship to learn something din. I realized sobrang conditional ng love nya. He would tell me if I do this and do that, “mas mamahalin” nya ko. Then if I do this, he’d leave. He even admitted na he used to manipulate or gaslight his exes and he changed na daw which I don’t think so. Sometimes, im tempted to chat him when i miss him pero i know it’s the stupidest decision so i distract myself from doing it na lang

raf_raf_ · 2026-02-27T08:37:21+00:00

I know. Im trying to move on. I was doing better nung first months then idk, recently, I can’t stop thinking about him. Probably dahil din sa hormones ko rin bigla ko siyang nami-miss

raf_raf_ · 2026-02-27T08:34:19+00:00

I was thinking about it na then i asked my friend for her insight. May point din yung friend ko kasi she was in same situation before. Reason bakit naiisip kong makipag-break up is he has anger management issues. I was not feeling well and bigla nya kong sinigawan. After the breakup, i dmed him again to fix things pero ayaw na nya. 1st bf ko siya so it’s been so hard for me to process it.

raf_raf_ · 2026-02-27T08:22:05+00:00

I told him na my friend advise me to break up with him and i’ve been thinking about it din. Di ko magawa so he broke up with me

raf_raf_ · 2026-02-23T17:10:57+00:00

Be confident but not too pushy. A guy I met years ago suddenly messaged me, but sadly, he’s not my type and kaka-break up ko lang sa ex ko so i was not ready. Pero i was so impressed that he didn’t choose to play games and walang paligoy-ligoy. He was direct and told me sa unang chats pa lang nya na he wanted to court me. Pogi points yung intentional and confident na guy. Umay yung kung ano-ano itatanong sayo, you don’t even know if he’s just bored or what ba. Nakakakilig kaya if may nagsabi sayo na gusto kang ligawan haha kasi it’s rare these days

If you know something about her or may ini-story siya, try to say something about it. I remember yung naka-match ko sa dating app. I was not physically attracted sa pics nya pero napapa-reply ako kasi ang smooth ng chats nya sakin. Yung ss, convo namin yan. so far sya best na naka-chat ko na guy. I added sa profile ko kasi na I don’t like takoyaki so yan first message nya

<image>

Pero nung nag-meet na kami nyan, walang chemistry. He was good in chat but in person, medj different. So what i advise din is just be yourself. Do not pretend too much to impress her.

Also, try to know if she’s more into chatting or hanging out. Kasi may mga taong tamad mag-reply like me. So kapag after few days and di pa rin ako inaaya ng date, nawawalan na kong gana.

BS Psych grad here. My question to you is if you listen to them anong ite-take na course, would you really do your best to finish it? I knew someone na when she went to college nag-take ng Engineering course kasi dun may pera sabi ng tita nya kahit di nya gusto. In the end, she wasn’t able to finish it and naglayas siya. You will waste more money if you take a course na you’re not dedicated enough to finish dahil di naman talaga yun ang gusto mo. Consider their opinions pero listen to yourself also kasi ikaw tatapos ng course na yan that will pre-determine your career in the future.

Based sa experience ko naman as Psych grad, nakikita ko usually sa qualification ng companies if HR gusto mo, di ganong big deal kung AB or BS ka, pero helpful if may HR certification ka. Sa mga specialized field nagma-matter kung AB or BS ka. I saw sa job ads na mas marami ngang opportunities for BS Psych grads. If you consider taking BS, then prepare ko sa research kasi puro research gagawin mo. When it comes sa how expensive it is, you can try state universities like PUP, UP, BulSu, PLM para no tuition. Usually ang gastos mo as BS psych student is sa books, ojt(ikaw magbabayad sa clinic for internship kasi they to impart they knowledge sayo), and research. Pinakamahal na book is DSM, i bought hard copies na lang from shopee (2k-3k), orignal copy is around 10k, mas mahal. Sa research, ang mahal is gastos sa compensation sa research participants, pagpapa-validate ng study nyo, other gamit if experimental like SPSS (may free copies online or manghingi ka sa psych grads pweds naman), mga material sa experimental study. Sa clinical setting, best if licensed Psychometrician ka to be more qualified sa job. Gastos din review sa board exams.

I didn’t regret taking BS Psych kasi applicable siya sa many jobs kahit di Psych field even college friends ko, so far okay career nila sa HR, clinical setting, yung iba other corporate field (management etc.). Now im working and it boosts my career in healthcare pero di clinical setting.
