I needed a little break from work, so I booked myself a lovely hotel stay last weekend.

I ate a lot of good food! I’ve been in a calorie deficit for two months and have lost 7 kilos, so I figured I deserved a weekend where I could just enjoy all the food I wanted without overthinking it. I also made cinnamon rolls and mozzarella slime because my inner child deserves some fun. Hahaha! 😂

Ended the weekend by buying myself flowers. 💅 Spoiling myself is so much fun, and I’ll keep doing it over and over again. 🖤

10 days ago I was blind on both eyes

Today, I celebrate my birthday and my vision is 20/20 on the right

I've had a very difficult several years after 2020. Chronic disease has destroyed my eyes and 10 days ago it got too much that I don't want to even open my eyes anymore. 

Today, I can see how blue the sky is, I can feel the love of the people around me, and I have a really tasty cake 😊🎂🎉🥳

Masarap mabuhay pa!!!

Nahahalata ko na mga modus nila. Twice today na lumampas sila sa dapat na eexitan sa QC Circle. Kumpleto pa yan sila ng tanong confirming saan ka bababa (and yes familiar sila), may Google Maps, tapos lalampas lang pala. I mean, sa tagal kong sumasakay ng Grab, Indrive at GreenGSM, halata ko na pag modus eh.

Kaninang umaga, naging 228 ung bayad ko pero around 181 lang dapat. Isama mo pa ung trapik dahil iikot pa ulit kaya na-late ako. Tapos ngayong gabi, nag-screenshot na talaga ako. Dapat 125 lang pero naging 178.

Nakaka-walang gana ung halatang pangloloko. Lagi ko pa naman binibida GreenGSM, pero walang kwenta din pag ganitong mga "diskarte" ginagawa nila.

Went to Bicol kasi ilalagay yung urn ng dad ko sa memorial then gumala and grabe tlga namiss ko ang ganda ng Mayon 🥺🥺🥺

We recently celebrated 3 occasions in our extended family. It's a huge, tight-knit family, so naturally all the cousins and the cousins' kids are present.

Two of my nephews are roughly the same age. Two boys at 4yo, you'd expect them to be turning the place upside down. Nung kami yung bata, tuwing nagkikita-kita magpipinsan, pag nagsama-sama mga boys, ang saya tapos ang gulo grabe. But now that we're adults na, their kids naman are the complete opposite.

Their bonding? They exchanged iPads, played individually, and quietly sat in the corner. For the entire day. BRO WTF

Napaisip lang ako, dati mapipilitan ka talaga magkipag-socialize eh. Pag masama ugali mo = wala kang kalarong bata = boring = loser ka. So matututo na dapat pala, respectful, friendly. Pag 'di ka nagmano sa mga tito/tita mo, wala silang iaabot na 500 = dapat matuto mag sing and dance and converse with the adults.

We realised as kids that we NEED social skills to survive. Ngayon, optional na lang. I worry for the new generation of humans that will grow to be adults thinking interactions are unnecessary. I wouldn't wanna live in that kind of world

and it was nice. we attended 2 workshops and i bullied his work not knowing mine is worst hahahah... thanks f9r treating me nice

pinagtatawanan nila yung mga tao nagkakamali habang nagaaral sila or ano man gusto nila matutunan/pag aralan? like ganto nagsabi ka sa kanila na gusto mo pumasok sa call center spanish, sinabi mo gusto mo din mag aral ng espanyol para lang sa call center. tapos sasabihin nila sayo "mahina ka nga sa english tapos mag call center ka pa na spanish" sabay tawa sila.

Mahilig ako mag explore sa sarili ko, hindi ko alam bakit ang hilig nila maliitin ako. alam ko naman mahina talaga ako e. alam ko naman sa sarili ko na wala naman masama mag aral/sumubok. nakakawalan ng confidence.

Tried putting all the ice in one mug. Perfect na perfect for this hot season. I suggest you guys should try it!! Stay hydrated everyone!!

A very quick Komiket visit lang dahil may errands near Megamall pero ang saya pala! There were so many talented local artists and creators and ang hirap magpigil bumili. 😭 My wallet definitely felt it, but I'm happy to support their work! Try ko magbudget sa mga ganitong event next time hihi 🫶🫶

Ayoko namang gawing household chores ang 5-9 after my 9-5. Pag laundry day kasi parang buong gabi agad nakakain. Sorting, loading (maingat ako sa damit kaya maraming nilalagay sa mesh laundry bags), washing machine (tapos linis or luto at the same time), sampay...

Anyone with an efficient system? Teach me your ways!

Nawala yung paper sa first 2 doses ko. Nakalagay doon yung date and yung i guess brand ng gamot. I was scheduled to have my 3rd dose last October 3 kaso now ko lang naalala and nawala na yung paper. Papayagan ba ako to get the 3rd shot?

Wanna do something or go somewhere kahit mag-isa this Halloween, yung di need ng group of people to do it or to go there.

Something na good for introvert sana and more on the low budget na around Metro Manila lang.

I wanna go outside for halloween kasi last time na may ganap ako ng halloween, bata pa kong nagti-trick or treat.

Mabubulok na ko sa bahay kaka-wfh.

Baka may alam din pala kayong halloween promo/ discount pls do share haha.

Thank you so much!

Hi im not used to this and di rin ganun ka palakwento so baka all over the place yung pinagsasabi ko. No bf since birth ako and wala rin napakilala na crush nor any potential partner sa parents ko. We were ldr for 2yrs and ive been here in ncr for a month so we can catch up and hang out, i introduced him as "manligaw" via vidcall because ayoko na mabigla sila and then now that me and my parents get to talk alone na, they're berating him about how he's obese and "di mukhang tao", mom also added how he has "down syndrome features" (he doesn't nor any fam history of those)

Im just sad how can they be so mean talaga, he is the sweetest and patient guy that i know, even tho he lives in Cubao hinahatid pa ako sa amin (Cainta) every time we hang out😭 i jus hope he dont lose heart in this 😞

For me, Antukin by Rico Blanco is such a classic but the ringing snare always drives me insane, parang lata. You can especially hear it sa first few seconds of the song.

edit: poorly recorded/mixed

Your recommendations are much appreciated.

Okay po ba sa Acea? Okay po ba sa Camaya Coast?

Okay po ba pa rin sa Whiterock? Nung unang punta ko is 2000s pa.

anyone experienced this? hahaha nakakaloka pilit kong inaalala yung number pero hindi talaga kaya be hahahah alam kong ang panaginip is caused by our waking thoughts pero syempre deep inside wishing na sana its a sign 😂😂

kakasagot ko lang sa isang subreddit dito na nag tatanong anong gagawin mo kapag nanalo ka sa lotto eh

Natawa lang ako nila doggie nung ininterview ang dalawa, wala akong doubt na yung babae platonic lang talaga pero di sure sa lalaki haha. Tas sila lang dalawa sa condo haha.

Ang cozy and aesthetic ng cafe nila. Ang cute kasi bawat cup of coffee, may quotes.

Guy here, planning to get a haircut plus perm soon and MOA is the closest mall from my location. Any salon suggestions po and tips to know para mas okay experience?

Almost 1.5 years ago I posted in the R4R subs looking for a friend. Nothing romantic, just wanted someone to talk to and share my woes and joys.

I was very (still am) depressed and got a LOT of pings, however only less than 5 kept in communication over the following weeks. Doesn't help since Im of Tita age I got more weird requests than genuine friendships.

Enter TravelDude - not his Redditor name, he has been a good constant pen pal. He listens to my drama and I his.

He hit me up yesterday saying he is in my city. Mind you na nasa Pinas sya when we originally chatted. So what are the chances of all the US cities he got to visit was my actual hometown.

Fate talaga the hotel he & his fam was staying at is close to my work. I took him to the best Italian spots sa amin and we caught up.

He is happily with his GF and ako naman told him of my current life updates.

It nice talaga to have a in person ka chikahan. He leaves bukas and though its gonna be months before uwi ko sa pinas, he made a promise to return a favor of him and his GF (hopefully wifey na) to take me on a foodie trip sa Manila.

Pics of our food and our animated selves. Mine is Carbonara and his is Pesto Gnocchi.

I pray to find more authentic friendships moving forward. Sana all :)

We went our second trip to Boracay a few weeks ago. Met the love of my life on one of the r4r subs here almost 3 years na. She's my best friend and and the reason I work harder every day and constantly reminds me that I deserve to be loved. Minsan talaga sa unexpected places mo na me meet ang one and only mo.

Sharing some of my artworks na nakatambay lang sa gallery.

Never had a consistent artstyle. Basta alam ko, hindi para sa akin ang realism kung digital. Nakakadrain, nakakapagod.

Stylized art feels better and easier to do :)

Sinagot ko na yung nakilala ko rito sa reddit. I've never been happier. I'm so happy kaya naisip ko rin ishare rito HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Nagpost ako sa [r/](r/R4friendsPH)[PHR4Friends](r/R4friendsPH), nagchat siya. Out of more than 10 na nagchat, buti na lang napansin ko chat niya at nireplyan ko. Hindi ko akalain na magiging boyfriend ko pala 😭😆

Thanks reddit, nakakilala rin ng matino! 💜💜
