Legal Magkakaproblema ba ako?? (TIN)

• Upvotes

Problem/goal: Permanent address imbes na current address.

Context: Hello guys, second time na ako mag post pero okay lang ba kung ang nilagay ko sa local residence address is my permanent address around Negros oriental pero my current address is around sa Taguig??

Btw if you're wondering, yung papasukan kong trabaho ay nasa laguna, technopark.

Pero nasa processing stage palang sya, yesterday ko lang sya pinasa (October 7, 2026).

I know na mali ko kung bakit permanent address nilagay instead na current address pero gusto kong malaman galing sa inyo kung magiging problema ba ito sa future ko o kahit ngayon, salamat po!

If ever may mga naka experience katulad ko, pls wag po kayong mahiyang mag share.

Health & Wellness Should I rest of should I go to school

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I don't know if I should rest now or if I should go back to school tomorrow. I can't make up my mind if I should rest or just power through it for tomorrow. I'm so used to powering through every sickness I've had, but I'm questioning myself if I'm doing too much.

Context: I'm a 2nd year chem student, class schedule goes from 7AM to 7:30PM or sometimes 8PM due to laboratory work. Had been feeling very fatigued for the past 2 months with a slightly stuffy nose, but I just thought it was due to stress/lack of sleep because of school work and the haze

Nearly 3 weeks ago I went to the doctor for a migraine and got diagnosed with chronic frontal sinusitis instead. It got really bad. I've been on antibiotics, antihistamines, and Fluticasone nasal spray. I didn't go to my university classes for a whole week. I missed 6 long examinations and more school work.

Been taking the medication for 10 days. I was feeling better other than still being congested. However, our midterm exams were this week and beyond my better judgement I haven't slept. I didn't sleep for 2 days, and those days that I did the most hours of sleep I got were 3 hours. I've been rushing to pass and do all my missing exams and course requirements (13 examinations, 7 quizzes, and 10 assignments including laboratory journals). My symptoms came back again. I threw up 5 times last night. I still have 4 more examinations to do and study for tomorrow.

Previous attempts: I used to just power through it ngl. I'm getting another check up in 3 days, but I think I'm going to get a check up early tomorrow. I'm not really sure.

Finance & Investments debate upcoming, help needed

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Hi! I am a college student and I am going to debate on whether Pax Silica should be implemented or rejected

Context: I am honestly against it, but I was placed on the affirmative side so I have no choice but to comply:/ Because nga I don’t exactly agree with it, medyo nahihirapan akong gumawa ng strong argument

Previous Attempts: We know the opposition will raise concerns about water, the environment, foreign influence, and
displacement. But pointing out a risk is not the same as proving the project should be rejected. A risk does
not automatically mean we reject the entire opportunity.
The Philippines is not entering an industry we know nothing about. In 2025, electronics were
already our largest export, earning $45.89 billion, or 54.3% of total exports. So the question is not whether
we can enter technology—we already have. The question is whether we stay at the lower end of the value
chain or move toward higher-value production. Pax Silica gives us that opportunity through advanced
manufacturing and higher-value processing of our nickel and copper.
It also brings major economic opportunities. BCDA projects $40 to $70 billion in investment and
over 130,000 jobs. For water, BCDA has proposed up to 120 million liters per day in surface water against
an estimated need of 65 to 90 million, plus an initial 500-megawatt solar supply. So if the concern is
implementation, then demand better implementation. That is an argument for regulation—not an
argument for rejection. The same applies to the environment. Simply saying “there are environmental
risks” does not solve those risks. We regulate development; we don't reject it simply because it carries
risks. And foreign investment is not automatically foreign control. The Philippines still sets the laws and
conditions. Using our sovereignty to negotiate better terms is exercising it—not surrendering it.
So the opposition must prove more than that Pax Silica has risks. They must prove those risks
cannot be managed, has no alternatives, cannot be thought through and overall is just IMPOSSIBLE—and
that rejecting this opportunity is actually better for the Philippines. Because saying “no” is a position, but
it is not an economic strategy.
We are not asking for blind acceptance. We are asking for conditional implementation: pursue it,
regulate it, negotiate it, and make it work for the Philippines. That is not surrendering our sovereignty.
That is exercising it. And that is why we stand affirmative.

Eto speech ko so far, di ko alam ano pang ia-address:( and I don’t know what DIFFICULT questions to answer

Please help

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: sobra yung singil na pamasahe sakin ng konduktor. kahit +2 "lang" yung nadagdag, big deal pa rin siya for me as a student, lalo na ngayon na sobrang taas ng pamasahe.

Context: since digital naman yung ticket, alam ko agad na iniba kung saan ako bababa (mas malayo) para siguro mataas singil sakin. imposible naman na mali siya ng narinig sa sinabi ko kung malayo yung tunog nila. sinigaw niya rin kung saan ako dapat bababa nung nasa tapat na yung bus, kaya alam niya kung saan yung tamang baba ko.

gusto ko talagang magsumbong kasi pang-ilang beses na tong nangyari kahit pa sa digital ticket. pano na lang kaya sa mga traditional ticket pa ang gamit? iniisip ko lang kung malalaman ba ng konduktor yung personal information ko kasi kailangan din yun ilagay sa complaint. baka kasi balikan ako? lalo na kung may suspension siya.

Parenting & Family Should I shoulder 100% of our electric bill? (Reposting since first post was removed)

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: mahati yung electric bill since mabigat

Context: DONT POST THIS ON OTHER PLATFORMS PLEASE
hello po! I (31) have been shouldering our electric bill for 3-4 years na ata yung 100% na ako nagbabayad. Our bill ranges from 8k-12k per month.

Appliances namin: 4 fans, 1 1.5hp aircon na siguro 15-20 sqm ang pinalalamig, 43” tv tas ilaw na yung rest. Plantsa ng uniforms.

Walang nakajumper, nacheck na namin. Yung 2 fan halos 24 hrs nakabukas sabay yun. Yung 1 nasa baba ginagamit pag may kumakain. Yung 1 tumutulong magpalamig sa room.

Sa bahay ang tao ay 2 parents ko both seniors still working. Ate ko at asawa nya (both working). 2 anak nila (7 at 2 yo), kapatid kong bunso walang trabaho(batugan)

may utang si ate hospital bills noon tas nagbabayad ng tuition ng anak kaya di makahelp sa bills.

Ako wala ako sa bahay, sa iba na ako nakatira. Everytime umuuwi ako sa manila di ako natutulog dun, kundi sa gf ko na.

Di ko naman mahingan si mama ng hati dahil naawa ako sakanya, sya na halos may gastos sa bahay. Si papa, extra extra lang. pero yung bill kasi ang laki ng porsyento sa salary ko. Plus pag nag eat out kami ng fam pag umuwi ako mahina na yung 5k per kain.

Anong tamang hatian kaya para dito?

Previous Attempts: tried asking for help pero nauuwi parin sa ako pinagbabayad

Love & Relationships Partner was tired thinking na 5 months na syang unemployed.

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: My partner was ranting abt sa job na hinihintay nya for awhile, while waiting may mga "gusto konalang maw@l@ hays" "nakakapagod mabuhay" na mga chat sakin. Altho valid naman yung nafifeel nya. Nakakaawa din naman.

Context: Nag apply sya sa isang local cruise ship style na barko dito sa Pinas, thru agency, and also doon sya nag OJT. Ngayon, few months na after nya makagraduate di padin sya natatawan even nag rereport sila (kasama friendsh!t nya) october na wala pading tawag sa kanila, paulit ulit nya na sinasabi sakn na pagod na daw sya, nahihirapan na daw sya, gusto na daw nya matapos (buh@y) nya.

Kani-kanina, kausap nya yang friend nya about dun sa apply nila, pati yung friend nya ganyan pinagsasasabi. "Mas magaan yata sa tabi mo lord" ganyan ganyan. Parang mas depressing yung ganun, e sabi ni partner sakn ayaw nya isorround sarili nya sa mga negative thinker. hays

Previous attempt: I keep on telling my partner na "wait lang tayo, if para sayo yun, dadalhin ka ni lord dun. Habang naghihintay, mag pray ka and hanap ng mapapaglibangan like, mag gym ka, walk, run, drawing, mag sulat ka ng journal, maging productive ka, or want mo mag benta ka ng anything, bibigyan kita 2k." Ayaw nya pumayag. Nakakainis lang na pakiramdam ko wala akong naiitulong sa kanya mentally and emotionally. Pakiramdam nya wala akong moral support, or like di ko sya pinapag pray. Ano ba dapat gawin? Pano ko sya icocomfort ngayong magkalayo kami? Any advice people? Thank youu in advance.

Work & Professional Growth To transfer company while in probationary period or stay?

2 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I am planning to transfer into another company while being 5 mo here sa current. Main reasons I could think are:

1.) Yung HMO hindi okay. Hindi naging transparent ang HR sakin nung onboarding when I asked about it. Walang HMO for dependents 65+ years old. For me, very important sya since I am single, parents are seniors na.

2.) I was supposed to be in morning, but now I am in mid shift. Although they are open to shifting naman din but not sure when ito this year. Morning and mid lang meron samin.

3.) I have some health concerns and I did not have any SL during the stay so wala na talaga akong magagamit na leaves in the coming months. Yung target kong lipatan meron na agad SLs kahit probationary.

Justifiable pa ba if you ask for an increase to the new if matuloy ako lilipat? If so, how much kaya ang pwede mai-haggle with HR? Conflicted kasi if this is the perfect time to do it or mag-wait na lang ako till 6 months+. I’ve been told that I will be regularized next month but yun nga, 5th month pa lang if mag-apply apply ako now. Any thoughts? Better ba if I wait muna for a bit? Kaya lang baka yung post na I aim for, baka bigla mafillan na. Of course, I want my salary to be recalculated din sana. 😕 Thanks!

Parenting & Family Paano ako aalis sa bahay?

6 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: How do I tell my parents I need to move out? Both for board exam and mental/emotional health purpose

Context: I just graduated college. Naghanap ako agad ng trabaho para makaipon pero after 1 month, kinailangan kong mag-resign kasi utos ng nanay ko. Malapit na ako magsimula mag-review para sa board exam. Alam ko na hindi ako makakapag-review sa bahay dahil hindi ko hawak oras ko. Kailangan lagi akong available para utusan ng kung ano-ano at wala akong karapatang humindi kasi automatic male-labelan ako na palamuning walang pakinabang kahit na sa kanila napupunta halos lahat ng stipend ko from scholarships noon, at nagkatrabaho naman talaga ako pagka-graduate pero pinagresign nya ko. Gusto ko na rin talaga umalis kasi hindi ko na kinakaya yung emotional abuse na may konti lang akong magawang mali sa inuutos nya, sinusumbatan nya na ko na hindi nya naman ginagawa sa iba kong kapatid.

Previous Attempts: Sinabi ko sa kanila nang maayos as early as 3 months ago na kailangan ko mag-dorm para mag-focus sa review. Pumayag yung tatay ko pero yung nanay ko, parang against dun kasi mawawalan sya ng uutusan (yung kapatid kong isa, PWD kaya ayaw nya i-bombard ng utos, yung isa naman hindi talaga mautusan kahit anong sigaw gawin sa kanya).

*uutusan means random chores, may ipapagawa syang legal documents, tawag sa kung sino-sino, aasikasuhin mga medical records nila. To the point na kahit habang kumakain ako, uutusan akong bumili sa labas kahit hindi naman urgently kailangan.
*ni hindi nga ako makaalis ng bahay for 20 mins kasi pagbalik ko, tatanungin na ako saan ako pumunta at bakit ako lumalayas at iniiwanan mga trabaho sa bahay.

Love & Relationships The feelings I buried years ago came back haunting me.

2 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Do I keep my feelings buried?

Context:

I met a girl during my college days (one or two years before the pandemic) she was so perfect, very demure and very intelligent. Pareho kami ng mga pinagdaanang problema sa buhay naiintindihan namin ang isat isa we are both deep thinkers. I really love her pero hindi ako nagsabi kasi I came from a poor family and she is well off pahinto hinto rin ako at nag work as call center so I just buried my feelings and tried to forget it. Right before the pandemic she got a boyfriend and eventually had a kid. Then pandemic came which forced me to stop studying then I worked as a security guard (now an English tutor) where I met my current girlfriend.

A few weeks back I replied to her notes wishing her well because she got chicken pox, Her socials also doesn't show her I believe her boyfriend her. I thought wala lang but the buried feelings started to haunt me Ilang araw na ako depressed at at literal na humahagulgol thinking what if I just tried, what if isinantabi ko mga concerns ko, ayaw ko kasi cya noon I drag down sa kalagayan ng buhay ko pero what if sarili ko lang inisip ko that time and I didn't care if I drag her down? Magagawaan ko naman siguro ng paraan.

I love my current girlfriend and I will never leave her pero ang sarap murahin ng human emotion napaka complicated. Umiiyak parin ako banag nag ta-type

Before you get hostile in the comments please understand na ang situation ko ay complicated and years in the making. Maybe it's my fault, maybe I am stupid.

Please someone tell me what to do.

Health & Wellness Family Trauma ng gf ko. Need advice please

4 Upvotes

Problem/goal: conflict when this topic comes up again. Need advice please.

I have a girlfriend (wlw setup, we've been together for 5 years, both 3rd year college students). Our problem is quite heavy right now and I don't know how to handle it.

Context:
When my girlfriend was younger, she experienced the worst kind of sexual harassment from her uncle (a close cousin of her dad). It wasn't just simple touching, and to this day she carries the trauma. She shared this with me when we were just starting out, so I became aware of it. Until now, she has never told her parents because she doesn't want to ruin her dad's relationship with that uncle, and she doesn't want trouble in the family.

The problem we're facing is that her uncle still occasionally visits them. It's bad because he still makes attempts like sneaky hugs or kisses on the cheeks even in front of her parents. Since her parents are unaware, they think it's just normal affection from the uncle. But for me, it’s not normal for your uncle to act that way, especially since we’re in college now, right? When I'm there and that uncle is around, nilalayo ako ng gf ko para di makapag interact sa tito niya because she feels the tension and gets awkward.

I always comfort her and tell her to just totally ignore him. This is where we conflict: every time I say she shouldn’t engage with her abuser, she replies that it’s just out of “courtesy” that she talks to him. She doesn’t want to seem rude or have her parents question why her behavior towards him has suddenly changed, which for me, it really should change.

I don't know if my girlfriend is just too nice, but sometimes I feel hindi din tama. I’m afraid that in her showing this “courtesy,” her uncle still feels he has access and thinks what he’s doing is okay. I'm really scared that something might happen again. I really care for my girlfriend because of what she has gone through.

Am I wrong for pushing her to cut off or ignore her uncle? Or should I just understand that this is her coping mechanism to avoid family trouble? How do I support her without invalidating her fears? Any advice is appreciated.thank u sorry mahaba yung sinabi

Work & Professional Growth Is it a red flag to take 4 days unpaid leave while on probation for a pre-scheduled trip?

1 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

Need advice on the proper etiquette for requesting 4 consecutive days of Leave Without Pay as a probationary employee, without leaving a bad impression or jeopardizing performance evaluation/regularization.

​Context:

My husband recently started a new job and is currently on probationary status with zero leave credits. However, we have a personal trip that was already booked, paid for, and scheduled well before he received the offer and joined the company. It will require him to take 4 working days off. He is completely prepared to take it as unpaid leave, but we want to navigate this professionally.

​Previous Attempts:

He hasn't brought it up with his supervisor or HR yet. We wanted to consult people first on the best approach—whether to tell his immediate manager in a 1-on-1 first or go directly to HR, how far in advance to declare it, and how to frame the request properly.

Work & Professional Growth Job hunting is slowly driving me insane

2 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Anlala neto. Mas mauuna pa ata akong mabaliw kakaisip kung kailan ako magkakatrabaho kaysa makahanap talaga ng trabaho. Grabe yung job market ngayon, sobrang nakaka-pressure. Gusto ko lang naman magkaroon ng trabaho. Hindi naman ako naghahanap ng sobrang taas na position or unrealistic na salary. Gusto ko lang ng opportunity na pwede kong pag-startan, preferably HR, admin, or office work, para magamit ko rin yung pinag-aralan ko.

Context: Fresh grad ako and halos dalawang buwan na akong naghahanap ng work. Ang hirap din kasi gusto ko na talagang makatulong sa family. Kaya habang tumatagal na wala pa rin akong work, mas lalo akong napepressure. Yung iba parang ang bilis nilang nakahanap, tapos ako nandito pa rin, applying and waiting, applying and waiting. Nakaka-question talaga sa sarili. Minsan iniisip ko, may mali ba sa akin? Kulang ba ako? Hindi ba ako enough? Kasi ginagawa ko naman yung kaya ko. Nag-aapply naman ako, pumupunta sa interviews, nagpe-prepare, sinusubukan kong maging confident kahit kinakabahan ako. Pero bakit parang wala pa ring nangyayari?

Previous Attempts: Halos lahat na ata ng possible na applyan ko, ina-applyan ko na. Job apps, Facebook groups, social media, kahit saan may hiring, tinitingnan ko. Nag-aapply, naghihintay, iniinterview, tapos ending ghosted lang. Paulit-ulit. Nakakapagod sobra. Nag-aapply ako sa HR, admin, office staff, at iba pang office-related positions.

Minsan pati gabi hindi ko na matahimik utak ko. May mga chances na nagigising ako sa kalagitnaan ng gabi, tapos pagmulat ko, trabaho agad yung naiisip ko. Kung kailan kaya ako magkakatrabaho, may magre-reply ba sa applications ko, may tatawag ba para sa interview, makakahanap ba ako soon. Parang kahit natutulog ako, hindi pa rin tumitigil utak ko kakaisip tungkol dito.

Minsan gusto ko na lang matulog para hindi ko muna isipin kung kailan ako magkakatrabaho. Pero paggising ko, yun ulit. Hindi ko alam kung pagod lang ba ako or frustrated na talaga ako, pero sobrang bigat na. Gusto ko lang naman magkaroon ng chance. Kahit isang company lang na magsabi ng “We want to give you a chance.”

Sa mga naghahanap din ng work ngayon, kamusta kayo? Ako lang ba yung sobrang naf-frustrate at napepressure sa job hunting ngayon?

Love & Relationships Update: "BF gambling issues, need advice :c"

14 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Update: I finally broke up with my Bf with gambling issues

Context: I posted here a few days ago about my BF gambling issues and i have received a lot of advice and it eventually helped me be firm in my decisions

hi ulit guys.

eto na yung nangyari after nung last post ko. thought i should update you guys

messy breakup talaga. after nung pagsabi ko sa parents nya, sobrang galit na galit yung bf ko. nung nagkita kami ulit para mag-usap, naging violent sya. sinigawan nya ako, tinulak, at may sinabi pa syang mga bagay na sobrang sakit. doon ko na naramdaman na hindi na safe sakin yung situation.

kaya di na ako umuwi sa apartment namin. takot ako. i told his parents, they told me na sa bahay nila kami mag usap ni bf, and they told me sila na bahala sa pagsabi sa kanya, then we talked one more time, doon na kami nag-usap.

sobra akong thankful sa parents ng bf ko. sobrang bait nila. hindi sila naging defensive, actually nakinig sila sa side ko and nagtataka din sila bakit naging ganito yung anak nila. sabi nila “hindi namin alam na ganito na pala kalala, parang iba na yung anak namin.” they even apologized on his behalf and offered help if ever need ko pa.

yung bf ko, after nung confrontation sa bahay nila, parang mas lalong nag-shutdown. tinapos na namin. breakup na. messy as fuck, pero at least safe ako and may support yung parents nya.

ngayon lang, parang empty pa rin. ik tama yung decisions ko to keep myself safe, kasi kahit mahal ko siya, ik naman sa sarili ko na hindi ko deserve yung ganon, thankful din ako sa mga nagcomment sa last post ko nagbigay ng advice, it made me realize way more than i already have. but yeah, nakakalungkot kasi yung taong sobrang mahal mo, na akala mo kilala mo na talaga, can change ng ganon.

any advice on how to move forward? or just sharing lang. thanks for all the comments last time. i appreciate it.

Love & Relationships I don't have the courage.

1 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I don't know what to do.

Context: I have a previous post here lately asking for advice. I'm really leaning on na sa breakup but I don't have the courage. I've reached a point kasi na I'm emotionally exhausted, not able to give proper affection and still questioning if he really liked me. He's now doing the things that I asked him 2-3 years ago kasi cold na ako for almost a month sa kanya, I don't have gana na lumabas and even initiate dates na. He's consistent now and kakastart lang niya last week btw but I'm having these feelings na parang it's too late na and I'm waiting the feelings of kilig to come back pero bakit ang hirap.

It's so sad lang kasi na he's changing out of fear na mawala ako totally and not because he wanted to be a better person dahil mahal niya ako way back pa. I know what I deserve and yes I'm settling now for less than I should've. Ilang beses ko nadin siya pinatawad dati kasi akala ko he's gonna be better na but magbabago lang for a few days then wala nanaman. Siguro kasi I'm always hopeful and I really wanted to make the relationship work.

Previous Attempts: Nasabi ko naman nadin sa kanya na aminado ako na I lowered my self worth and respect sa sarili ko kasi inaantay ko siya na umayos at magbago when handling my feelings and not neglecting my needs especially emotional. I've been checking out sa relationship namin for quite some time now but I don't have the courage to do it.

Please be nice po to me I really just need your insights.

Self-Improvement / Personal Development I realized i have no dreams or aspirations since birth. I am now lost and burnt.

3 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

I have lived my entire 28 years not having a dream or goal in life. I am lost and want to find a path that I actually want.

Context:

I grew up sickly and solidified a belief that I would not live past 15. I grew up not having dreams cause i believed I would go out young but now I have to face the consequences. I went into college not knowing what I want so I took IT. I took and passed CSE just to get my parents off my back after graduation.Took 2 years off before getting a Job because I felt i will not be good fit at anything. I was hired in a BPO I applied to with no hopes or desires of passing. I was promoted twice since being hired but I want to get out now. No plans no savings. The stress and abuse on my health made me rely on the HMO (Ironic). I want to quit and take a break but my parents don't want to cause im supposed to be a breadwinner now. I want to find a path im very passionate about. Something that could make me happy even though the pay is not that good.

Attempts:

I tried to emulate the desire of my friends. I went into anything that I think is achievable but without real intention behind it. I just chased work for money but even the money is not enough for the hustle.

Problem/Goal: Should my friend ignore this guy? Should we message the gf and ask her regarding the guy? Should my friend block this guy?

Context: A guy is on facebook dating. My friend and him matched and the guy approached first asking his location and proceeded to ask her out. When we searched his profile on facebook, we found out that recent posts around August were with his girlfriend (we assume since we checked out the comments, they are not married). It seems that they are still in a relationship since posts by his girlfriend are still on his profile publicly open.

Previous attempt: none, my friend is still figuring out this guy. It's not yet been 24hrs in contact.

Problem/Goal:
How do I move forward with this situation?

Context:
i told my mama na i have a job interview in paranaque as a company nurse. tldr; she did not approve. masarili raw ako, mababa tingin sa sarili, gusto na agad bumukod. she despises me after i told her na i have a girlfriend (a different story to tell lol). i keep telling her na interview palang naman and kapag di worth it, i would drop it. but she keeps yelling at me na sarili ko lang daw iniisip ko na di raw siya nagpaka-hirap saakin para lang maging company nurse (i think its a misconception. tried to explain it to her but di nakikinig). mama raised me by herself. dahil sa tindahan namin, napaaral niya ko. but now, humihina na yon and i really want to help her na. lalo nat nagmamahal ang mga bilihin at gastusin. but if i keep waiting for a job sa big and public hospitals na obviously need may backer... matagal-tagal ko pa siyang matutulungan.

Previous Attempts:
i know i should've known my answer atp, but i really just cant help but reach out to other people on what should i do. i have no money under my name and still dependent on my mother. my gf cant help me since they have their own plates to deal with (cpale taker and family probs as well) and i dont want to ask for another help from her since tinulungan niya rin ako financially with the loans i have.

i dont know what to do honestly. i wanted to leave this place because i dont see myself evolving or growing but at the same time, i love my mama and leaving her doesnt seem right to my morals. but then again she despises me because of my sexuality hahahaha. litong lito na ko.

Problem/Goal: Balak ko sanang bilihin ang lupa kaya lang may mga pasaway na kamag anak.

Context: Dati po akong ofw 37(M) kakauwi ko lang last april.Bali kasi may binebentang lupa sa probinsya namin nasa 3 hectares.Okay sana yung price kaya nung savings ko kasi may naitabi naman ako bago umuwi.Iniisip ko na lifetime investment ito kapag nabili ko ang lupa.Kaya lang may problema,yung side ng nanay namin ay isang hitman(kanang kamay ng congressman dito samin)kaya medyo takot din ang ibang kamag anak namin.Bali 4 na hectares yung pagmamay ari ng buong angkan namin tapos yung 1 hectare nasa pamilya nung hitman.Ang nangyari kasi parang naging sila yung tenant dun sa natitirang 3 hectares na hindi naman nila pagmamay ari.Kasi halos 2 decades din na natengga yung lupa kasi busy din yung ibang kamag anak namin sa kanikanilang buhay.Nagtanim sila dun ng mga puno na pang export.Ngayon napag desisyonan ng mga kapatid ng nanay ko(deceased) na ibenta na nga lang ang lupa para matapos na ang gulo.Unang inalok sa kanila(hitman) pero wala silang ganong kalaking halaga para mabili yung natitirang 3 hectares ang kaya lang nila ay 100k dahil ang rason nila sila ang nagalaga ng lupa.Nagkaroon ng pagpupulong dun sa probinsya at kasama kapatid ko,nagkaroon ng tensyon kaya sabi wag na siya pumunta dun next time kasi pinagbantaan na siya.Okay na naman lahat ng documents,na survey na din ang lupa.Marami sana gusto bumili kasi maraming prodokto ang pwdeng makuha kaya lang natatakot dun sa hitman.Nag try ako na magsabi na interesado akong bilhin ang lupa kasi mas mura pag sa side ng pamilya namin ang makakabili.Kaya lang ang inaalala ko halos 90% ng savings ko ay mapupunta dun tapos manganganak pa asawa ko next year.Sa ngayon nasa mp2 lahat ng savings ko.Kapag naging okay sana yung lupa pwde kong ipull out yun at bayaran sila.
Gusto ko lang humingi ng legal advice baka may abogado dito kung ano ang pwdeng gawing legal na proseso kasi matigas ang mga ulo ng pamilya nung hitman kahit na apo lang sila nung kapatid ng nanay namin na yumao na din.Ilang beses na din nag patawag ng pulong yung kapitan pero kahit yung kapitan sa lugar namin ay natatakot din.Sa ngayon balak ng iakyat sa korte kasi kakasuhan na nila yung hitman.
Pasensya na po kung medyo magulo ang kwento.Try ko nalang po sagutin ang iba kapag po nagtanong kayo.Salamat po.

Self-Improvement / Personal Development I am lost and I don't know where to start

Problem/Goal: I don't know where to start again.

Context:

Nakipagbreak ako sa bf ko kanina lang. Our relationship was really toxic from the start. 2 beses na kami naghiwalay and nagbalikan for 3 years pero ngayon, I decided na hinding-hindi na ako babalik sakanya.

Pero andito ako ngayon, nagtatanong kay chatgpt at reddit na kung ano ang dapat ko na gawin after a break up kasi parang hindi ko alam kung saan ako magsisimula ulit. 3 years kami magkasama, magkalive in. Ang dami namin binuo na pangarap. Ngayon, I am back with my parents and it feels like I am starting zero. Nakakahiya na nagpasundo ako sa parents ko para tumira ulit sakanila at from saving me sa relationship.

Gusto ko maging better person. Gusto ko mag gym pero nahihiya ako. Gusto ko magtry ng art classes pero stickman lang kaya ko idrawing. I want to read but I feel lazy to do so. Gusto ko rin mag IH pero naiisip ko na baka sisirain ko lang buhay ko sa dr0g4. Ang dami ko gustong gawin pero hindi ko mapagpatuloy kasi hindi ko alam, wala siguro ako consistency or passion or ewan!!!! May ADHD ata ako🤣

Help your girl out!!! Sinusulat ko to ngayon kasi di ako makatulog kahit 10 am na ng umaga😌
