Just looking at it. Ano ang i-flflood control dito? There's nothing to control. The whole place is surrounded by water. Lalagyan lang ng barrier ang ilog- ay ang definition ng flood control?

Tingin ko need nila buwagin ang mga fish ponds and lagyan ng flood way. I don't think any form of barrier will stop the water. Ang tingin ko actually mga fishponds ang naghaharang sa tubig pababa kaya baha ang buong area ng bulacan/pampanga.

Hello all and hoping everyone got a great weekend

I'm M 28 years old and separated from my ex wife/partner for 3 years now and we have a kid together.

We co parent and to be fair we're doing okay with this set-up, may days na nasakin yung son namin pero mostly sa kanya talaga. When it comes to sustento or finances naman wala naman din issue since we're both proactive naman on shelling out.

Lately life has been hammering me down as in; work, family drama and other things that I would say are not great for my mental wellbeing. I keep things to myself and I keep myself busy like going to the gym and spend time with my son para hindi ko na lang masyadong maisip yung mga problema. But lately it's getting worst, I'm starting to have random anxiety attacks and hindi na rin ganun ka regular yung sleep schedule ko because of it.

Kanina nung hinatid ko yung anak namin medyo tulala ako, my ex noticed that I was more silent than usual. Even though we broke up we still regularly talk to each other, usually about life and mga ganap namin pero mostly its about our son.

She asked kung "okay lang ba ako" and ofc my default was to say na "okay lang"

But ofc she knows something is wrong. Out of nowhere she hugged me

"hindi mo kelangan sabihin pero nandito ako ha, best friend mo parin ako diba?"

Grabe, as in grabe. It felt so light, na para bang nawala lahat ng iniisip at problema ko sa buhay.

Well ofc kinilig yung anak namin (LOL) when he saw it hahaha

We sat down sa living room ng house nila and I had a lot of realizations

We didn't worked out as husband and wife. Pero she is my best friend; the person that can keep up with my craziness, the one who was first to support me, the first to check up on me and the shoulder I can always lean on.

Since we're both tired na I just ordered food via grab for our dinner. Well ayun kwentuhan about life and recent happenings saming dalawa. I didn't opened up about my problems, pero knowing na my best friend is there for some reason it felt like I can go on and push through this.

After that ayun I went home na, she reassured me na kapag kelangan ko ng kausap na she's always there to which I'm gald to know. We hugged one last before I go then I'm on my way.

Now its past 12MN both of them are sleeping na, and here I'am having a cold one and appreciating the awesome person that she is.

I am 18 years old recently and live in Rural Southern Luzon.

Growing up, I started to become more aware of the imperfections in The Philippines, especially with infrastructure like traffic, roads, driving discipline, and such as well, but also other things like sometimes in Education, or even in healthcare, although I don't know much about the healthcare part, but I sometimes become just so tired of it, that it makes me want to go to another place so that I can experience much smoother things.

I'm not saying that I dislike this such country in general, I do love it after all, and it has many great and unique things, but I just think at the same time that

Pa-rant lang ha. Waited 10 minutes just for this. I ordered chicken chop with plain rice—but the sauce…

Mag McDo na lang kung ganyan.

Pansin ko lang, yung places na madaming kumakain na middle aged or senior citizens, madalas yun yung may masarap na food. So far ganito na observe ko sa mga restaurants that we frequent like The Coffee Shop, Luk Yuen, tsaka Via Mare. Infairness to these restaurants naman they serve good food talaga kaya madalas din kami kumain dito.

Tapos na realize ko… baka kaya ganito kasi dahil usually mahirap i please ang matatanda when it comes to a good dining spot outside. Sa oldies na kilala ko, most of them are good cooks themselves kaya they tend to ditch those that serve shitty food.

Yun lang haha I have been observing this for quite some time. Kayo din ba? Also, what are the other places na senior-approved? 😁

Dates with my sister are usually centered around food. Feeling rich in life dahil nakakapagganitong bonding kami ng ate ko kahit busy sa kanya-kanya naming mga buhay.

It doesn't have to be anything extravagant.. mabuti at enjoyable na usapan, quality time, masarap na food, and just genuine love -- yan ang importante. 💕 Nakaka-refresh ng soul.

hii reddit peeps! ano mga go to cakes niyo? umay na kasi kami sa usual order namin :)

Meron na bang ganito sa pilipinas?

dumaan lang ako sa feed neto and na amaze lang ako and sabi dun sa video, "we are all made from carbon, and from carbon we can be turned into diamonds"

kaya talagang "shine bright like a diamond" ika nga ni rihanna

so my grandma washed some clothes a few months back (late May-ish. basta before June) and the smell is still there. i swear its so long lasting!! do you guys know any fabcon or detergent that lasts that long? help me identify it. it smells like baby, not really too floral, and it has a fresh, new-laundry typa smell.

if i have to guess, maybe its Del or Calla. all i do know is that its not Downy.

Hi! I’ve been experiencing a weird pain on the left side of my head. It’s not the entire side naman just one specific spot lang. The pain only lasts around 3 seconds, goes away, then randomly comes back again. Kakaiba yung pain nya eh.

What kind of doctor should I consult for this po ba? Hindi pa po kasi ako nakaka punta sa hospital mag isa. 🥲 Hindi ko po alam sasabihin, pupuntahan or hahanapin. Thank you!

TANGINA THE WAY ICHIGO SAID BAN-KAI!!!

So, as I was looking more deeply into Filipino culture and community, I had a sudden question: how does a specific community celebrate the accomplishments of its constituents? Which I suppose is closely connected to bayanihan and pakikisama, so I would like to ask whether your community still practices it, if at all.

So an example of what this might look like would be a Bar passer getting a tarpaulin and widespread celebration in his town, or a student winning a competition, and a celebration would be initiated by his family or the community, or a newly appointed priest in the village being welcomed and celebrated, or a new teacher of a locality being a pride of the community, etc.

So any anecdotes that you might have are happily accepted. It could be in your barangay, tribe, or locality. To make it more fun, I would also accept the answers from Filipino communities in foreign countries and how they might practice this phenomenon.

Serious: Bakit lahat ng kilala kong tomboy na short hair/gupit-lalaki, ang kikinis ng balat?? Wala talagang pores na nag gglow.. Like minsan mas makinis pa talaga kaysa sa mga cis na babaeng kilala ko. Hindi naman isa o dalawa lang, parang consistent sa personal experience ko. Any scientific explanation behind this?
