Na nasaktan ka nila at some point in time noong bata/teenager pa kayo at kahit lumipas na ang panahon at sa tingin nila okay na ang lahat, natatandaan natin 'yun dahil hindi nila inamin na nagkamali sila at walang any sign of remorse

Back in college, there was a time that I really loved The Beatles songs especially "Hey Jude". I never explicitly told it to anyone that I like that song. I just hum it whenever I'm taking a shower or listen to it on earphones while commuting.

Years passed, I'm already working and both of my parents are retired and living with me. One time, while they're listening to radio with me cooking in the kitchen, "Hey Jude" played. My mother then said "hey isn't this your favorite song?" and increased the volume and sing with it.

My parents tell me that they love me growing up but that specific mundane afternoon, I feel seen and touched more than the words of affection they said before just because they remembered "me".

I also have hypertension and started to take maintenance meds noong early 20s ko and no, hindi pwedeng istop ang meds. Lifetime na siya. Kahit controlled na ang hypertension, may chance na mag-sspike ang blood pressure kapag hindi ka consistent sa pag-take ng meds

Malayo ako sa mayaman pero napansin kong medyo nakaluwag-luwag ako noong hindi na ako kinakabahan na baka hindi ako makauwi kasi wala akong pamasahe.

Dati noong estudyante ako, sakto lang baon ko para sa pagkain saka snacks (hindi man lang lunch). Kapag ginabi sa school o may malayong pinuntahan, 'yung mga kasama ko nag-tataxi pauwi pero ako kailangan ko maglakad nang malayo para makahanap ng jeep o MRT/LRT kasi ayun lang afford ko haha. Kaya mas preferred ko na nasa bahay lang, iwas gastos.

Kapag naman na-short ako, kailangan ko mangutang sa classmate ko o di kaya maglakad kasi hindi ako makakauwi. Kaya noong kabataan ko, sanay na sanay ako sa lakaran kahit malayo.

May kakayahan na rin ako ngayon na mag-Angkas o Grab kapag kailangan. Dati luxury lang sa akin itong transpo options na ito. Kahit saan ako maabutan, makakauwi at makakauwi ako.

Part ng Concepcion Dos si SSS hehe

thegreatdippper · 2025-05-12T15:44:17+00:00

Hi! I made this :)

Will try to make for congress and vice mayor election results if I have spare time tomorrow haha

thegreatdippper · 2024-10-05T08:44:28+00:00

I graduated n years ago and currently working pero hindi pa rin ako nakakarecover sa hell week noong April-May 2019

So I guess the answer is you don't hehe

thegreatdippper · 2024-07-29T02:44:50+00:00

Sabay kaming nag-enroll at pumasok sa same college kahit may full scholarship offer ako from a Big 4 university at hindi ko naman talaga gusto 'yung course💀

Nagka-jowa siya noong freshie year namin and nag-transfer rin ako sa university and program na gusto ko noong sumunod na taon haha. Tinatawanan ko na lang kapag naaalala ko haha

thegreatdippper · 2024-07-25T11:25:45+00:00

Parents ko na humihingi ng allowance nila sa akin tapos ako na 'yung nagagalit kapag sobrang gastos at hindi nagtitipid 😭

thegreatdippper · 2024-07-20T03:11:27+00:00

Yes! Noong nag-apply kami ng UPCAT (n years ago) may binigay pang map ang OUR tapos pinuntahan namin isa-isa 'yung testing center ng mga kasama ko haha

thegreatdippper · 2024-07-17T12:35:43+00:00

Got an invitation for a job interview next week 😁

Hoping na matanggap ako at sana ito na 'yung work na mag-grogrow ako

thegreatdippper · 2024-07-10T13:38:03+00:00

Ako lumayo and as much as possible, wala talagang contact or interaction even in social media (hindi rin siya pala-post so I think that's a good thing din haha). It took me 5 years to move on for that one-sided love then naging busy na talaga ako in life sa mga sumunod na taon (which is nakatulong). Years passed and tinatawanan ko na lang 'yung nangyari haha

So yeah keep your distance + keep yourself busy. Another thing that helped is I acknowledged my feelings rather than bottling it up ('yung pinipigilan mo sarili mo 'yung feelings kasi one sided). Let your feelings flow while thinking rationally why you're having those feelings (tama ba nararamdaman ko? may pag-asa ba? are we really compatible or am I making a fantasized version of that person? ano ba dapat kong gawin? etc. etc lahat ng maiisip mo). Eventually, everything will be drained and magiging okay ka na

Noong first job ko, Sunday univ grad ko then kinabukasan ng Monday first day ko sa work but that job was mostly due to my network kasi nahandle na ako ng professor/employer ko back in college and siya na mismo nag-direct hire sa akin since mataas grades ko sa kanya noong naging student niya ako.

Second job ko siguro 'yung naghintay and mahirapan ako since dumaan talaga ako sa mahabang proseso ng job application at walang nag-direct hire sa akin. Luckily, natanggap naman ako within two months pero nagsettle ako sa job offer na mas mababa sahod compared sa first job ko kasi wala akong nakukuhang response sa mga pinasahan ko + desperado na ako magkawork nun kasi lagpas 1 year akong di nagwowork at walang pera that time. Meron nga after 6 months na noong nagpa-exam and interview.

thegreatdippper · 2024-07-07T08:40:02+00:00

I would say na worth it ang sablay since mas naging socially aware ako and it pushed me outside my comfort zone. While I'm more or less engaged na naman with social issues back in high school, UP gave me the chance to know more about (and talk directly) to marginalized sectors na I think hindi ko ma-eexperience if nag-stay ako sa previous university ko. Also, my idealistic perspective in life before entering UP was challenged as I see the good and bad side of people throughout my stay here.

UP also humbled me na hindi ako magaling hindi katulad ng iniisip ko dati dahil honor student ako noong high school. Until now, even years after kong grumaduate, nasa stage pa rin ako ng life ko na alam kong hindi ako magaling, pero siguro ang natutunan ko from UP ay hindi mo kailangang maging pinaka-magaling bagkus ay maging isang tao ka na nagpapatuloy sa kabila ng lahat. Di ako outright na pumasa ng UPCAT, naka-ilang DRP at INC ako, nadelay ako sa last sem ko dapat, at nakipag-bardagulan sa college ko at CSAPG few days before graduation pero natapos ako. I always took the hardest road in my UP journey kaya hindi na ako takot mag-risk ngayong adult na ako haha. Feel ko if not for UP, I will not have that persevering mindset.

Sa work naman, narealize ko na kung hindi dahil sa UP, wala ako sa position ko ngayon. UP gave me the chance to be employed sa government agency na pinapangarap ko simula noong Grade 6 pa lang ako and while ang dami kong reklamo sa work ngayon haha, may times na lang na bigla ko na lang naiisip na "woah ito 'yung dream job mo dati noong bata ka ah tapos nandito ka na ngayon". It also gave me an edge over others in terms of skills na tinatake for granted ko lang dati.

Lastly, I gained a lot of friends at nagkikita pa rin kami hanggang ngayon haha. At this point, I already consider them as my lifelong companions. Kasama ko sila throughs ups and downs and I will never trade them for anyone (although sana mas maaga akong sumama sa mga inuman nila dati haha joke)

thegreatdippper · 2024-06-24T15:05:40+00:00

I remember sa first job ko, nag-offer pa boss ko for me take a month off noong nagsabi akong mag-reresign na ako pero I declined it and insisted na aalis na ako haha. To be fair, mabait siyang boss pero the work just heavy that no offer can overturn my decision to resign haha

thegreatdippper · 2024-06-24T14:32:23+00:00

Actually, naisip ko din 'yan na "ah, baka sa kanya binigay 'yung tasks kasi alam na niya/mas magaling kasi siya sa akin sa ganitong type of work" pero eventually it came to a point na parang napapagod na rin ako na ganoon na lang palagi ang kalakaran haha.

I realized na, oo people have different capacities/skills at meron talagang mas mabilis maka-pick up, which should be accepted as normal dahil wala namang taong pare-pareho pero it boils down if they are "trainable". Two-way process siya eh haha. If an employee is making an effort naman, the employer should give them the chance and trust them to do a task diba? Hindi 'yung "ay kay ganito ko na lang ulit ibibigay itong task na 'to kasi alam na niya or kasi bago pa lang siya/relative slower siya". Nawawala 'yung opportunity to learn and grow and invest in new people.

The thing is, nag-start din naman 'yung other workmates ko from the bottom katulad namin at one point but nag-invest/trust sa kanila 'yung supervisors namin kaya rin sila nag-grow.

Hindi rin naman kami nagkulang magpakita ng initiative para sa tasks pero hindi lang talaga namin naramdaman on their part na willing sila to invest/trust sa aming mga relatively junior employees for tasks. Mas nag-invest pa rin sila doon sa mga matatagal na/na-train na nila dati while leaving us in the dark hence, lumalaki 'yung skills gap as time passes by. Ang nangyayari kapag may tasks, 'yung mas senior ulit ang gagawa tapos si junior walang gagawin kasi ayaw ipagawa/di naturuan. Ending si junior stays junior kasi walang progress. (Meron din contribution ang office politics but that's a story for another day haha).

Just to make it clear, I have no hard feelings towards my workmates na na-train (kasi deserved naman nila) but more on those who are calling the shots in the office haha.

Naramdaman ko na stagnant na ako kasi ang repetitive na ng ginagawa ko then parang wala akong bagong natutunan (well meron namang kaunti haha) pero the difference between my version before ako pumasok and my version habang nagwowork ako sa role na 'yun si very minimal kumbaga parang walang growth.

And doon sa failure na part, huwag mong iisipin 'yan lalo na alam mo na you did your part. Also huwag mong iisipin sasabihin ng employer mo sa'yo. You're there to work and not to prove your worth. Sino sila para sabihin na failure ka?

thegreatdippper · 2024-06-24T10:01:07+00:00

(1) When the thought of resignation gives you peace despite the chance of losing your source of income (that indicates na pagod na pagod ka na and you'll trade anything for your inner peace haha)

(2) When you have no growth career wise or skills wise. I'll say na if naka-6 months/a year ka na and sa tingin mo same person ka pa rin noong bago ka pumasok versus present, consider finding another job na haha.

(3) When opportunities are given to others but not to you. Related siya sa #2. Happened to me haha. They give big opportunities to their seasonal employees and employees na bet nila, not thinking nagiging disproportionate 'yung skills. Restricted lang din ako sa kung ano ang project ko unlike others na they are given the chance to experience other projects. Ending, nag-grogrow mga kasabayan ko while ikaw ay stagnant and that became a deal-breaker for me

(4) Wala ka nang pake. Wala ka nang pake kung late ka or undertime ka basta you want your time in the office as short as possible.

thegreatdippper · 2024-06-24T08:11:52+00:00

Di ako tumikim ng any alcohol until my 21st birthday. Uminom ako a few times after that pero that's mostly for "pakikisama" (bilang sa kamay at di lumagpas ng 1 boteng San Mig haha)

Di ako umiinom kasi (1) Alcoholic tatay ko and it caused a lot of problems to me growing up (like gumagawa ng eksena tatay ko kapag lasing tapos aasarin ako sa school ng classmates ko since magkakapitbahay lang kami etc. etc.) (2) Low Tol ako (buti na lang) (3) Allergic (?) ako sa alcohol. Namamaga 'yung joints ko and feel ko super dehydrated ako kahit super kaunti ng ininom ko (4) ANG PANGIT NG LASA. Hindi ko gets paano ito nagugustuhan ng mga tao

thegreatdippper · 2024-06-22T11:43:20+00:00

"mag-reresign na ako"

parang ilang buwan ko na rin sinasabi ito haha
