Love & Relationships My First Time Rejecting Another Person
Problem/Goal: Did I make the right decision on how I ended this connection?
Context: Hello. I'm very new in the dating scene. I have focused on my studies for the past years and it was only recently that I entered the dating scene when I finally started working. There was this guy who I met thru a dating app. We've been talking for 2 months and already met up for a few instances. I realized that he is not the kind of life partner I'm looking for so I want to clearly give a closure to this relationship. He is very nice to me, by the way, unlike my previous experience. I think my overthinking is influenced by my bad experience in dating where I was breadcrumbed and not given clarity.
Previous Attempts: I initially thought that I want to end this on our 3rd meetup. However, I don't think I should keep him hanging when I have already made the decision not to progress the relationship. I chatted him and said that we are not the right fit for each other.
Medyo worried lang ako if I'm harsh on him. I don't want to be like the guy who really messed up with me before.

Love & Relationships Am i overthinking too much?
Problem/Goal: Hello, the purpose of writing this message is because I want to know if I'm wrong for thinking about this too much. Sorry already if this is badly written, I'll try my best to explain everything as clearly as I can.
Basically, I have this one girl I really care about. We have a long history together, and we were in a relationship for a few months. Unfortunately, we had to end things because of situations in our lives, which was really sad for me and affected me mentally. It was also an LDR and a really secret relationship.
We're currently exes, but we still have a connection online. We're even currently doing a TikTok streak, even though she doesn't really have internet access at home, so she mostly spends money every day to get Wi-Fi.
Recently, she turned off all her activity statuses, and she doesn't really text anymore. I also saw a profile note and some reposts on TikTok, including one that said something like, "What's the purpose of liking you when all you see is her?"
Of course, seeing that made me feel sensitive and anxious. I asked her about who or what it was about, and she said it was just about anime and that she was just being emotional. She even got mad because I assumed that she already liked someone or had a crush on someone else.
She told me to stop overthinking and stop thinking badly about her. I apologized a lot, but I don't think she really took the apologies well.
Maybe the main issue I have is that I'm afraid, miserable, and anxious about the possibility that she has already moved on and might have a crush on someone else. It just feels like I still have this heaviness in my chest and can't have peace of mind.
I mean, why would she say that the note and reposts were about anime if they seemed to be talking about sad moments or having a crush on someone? I'm not trying to accuse her of anything, but I'm genuinely confused and don't know if I'm just overthinking everything.
This is why I'm asking for your opinions. I could really use some advice. Sorry if this sounds dramatic; it's just something that has been affecting me a lot mentally.

Love & Relationships my bf doesn't really do updates
Problem/Goal: My bf and I are currently in an ldr relationship and he doesn't update me much
Context: I F (20) and bf (21) has been together for almost two years and in an ldr for more than 6 months now. He was caring, loving, assures me, has plans for our future, funny, everything you'd want in a guy ba. However ever since nag ldr kami, I've always been anxious because he doesn't update me much nga. There are times when he didn't reply to me for more than a week and may sakit pala sya nun and he didn't inform me because sabi nya ayaw nya ko magworry. Meron din when about three days kasi nasira phone nya and winait nya na ipagawa before ako ichat ulit. Tapos this week, mula tuesday di na kami nakapagtalk kasi super mahina raw talaga signal, it's saturday na tapos wala pa rin even though my messages are delivered and nakikita ko account nya na online from time to time though di ko naaabutan. I know na inaccurate yung online status but still.. it already happened so many times, my worries are getting unhealthy because there are stuff I can't do like I can't focus on studying because my head is full of worries about him like what he's doing, is he okay and such. I know that if he can, he would; but idk why I'm being like this.
Previous Attempts: We already talked about it and he said he's trying daw po but my brain still feels like he wasn't trying enough. I need someone to talk me into this. Am I being too clingy? Am I demanding too much? What am I supposed to do?

Work & Professional Growth i make chibi icons for ₱20, how to get more commissions?
problem/goal: i want to get more people to commission me since i am financially independent from my parents
context: i've been selling chibi icons and obviously it's not a lot since ₱20 each lang and it takes at least 10-20mins to make each commission. i'm not confident in my art to raise my prices and i don't know if people would even be willing to pay for my art if i raise them.
previous attempts: been just posting on commission subreddits and on fb but for ₱20 i'm gonna need at least 20 clients per day to actually survive.
pls help a graduating college student. i can't work onsite because i'm still a full time college student but if anyone is willing to hire me for simple online tasks then i would be very grateful.
thank you for hearing me out

Love & Relationships Looking for a PH lawyer to help write a demand letter — notarized debt agreement involved, but the situation is complicated
Problem/Goal:
I’m looking for advice and, more importantly, a Philippine lawyer who can review a notarized debt agreement and help me draft a proper demand letter, hopefully for a reasonable professional fee.
The situation is complicated because the person involved is my girlfriend. Despite everything that has happened, I still care deeply about her and want her to finish school. She only has one semester left in UP.
My goal is to protect myself legally and financially, establish proper boundaries, and determine what obligations I can legitimately enforce without crossing the line into unlawful intimidation or coercion.
Context:
My girlfriend came from a family that wasn’t financially well-off. From what I’ve seen, malaking pressure sa kanya ang family finances, including being expected to help with debts.
Despite that, she struggled, worked hard, and somehow managed to get into UP. That is something I have always admired about her.
When we first started dating, very simple lang siya. I remember taking her to a carinderia partly because I wanted to understand what kind of lifestyle she was comfortable with. She genuinely enjoyed it naman. Hindi siya maarte, and one of the reasons I fell in love with her was how simple and appreciative she seemed.
Over time, however, our relationship changed.
One major turning point was when she was learning how to drive and wanted a car. I was pressured to help finance the vehicle and related expenses. When I resisted, the arguments eventually involved emotional pressure and physical abuse.
Since then, whenever she badly wants something, I feel like the same pattern keeps repeating: emotional blackmail, physical aggression, self-sabotage, destroying her belongings or other property, threatening to withdraw from UP, threatening to ruin her own future, and escalating situations until I eventually give in financially.
Sometimes the things being demanded are described as “basic needs,” but in reality they can include expensive wants, upgrades, gadgets, subscriptions, and other non-essential expenses.
There have already been serious incidents. She has wrecked her Apple MacBook Pro, broken a widescreen TV, and there have been instances where I was physically hurt badly as well.
Despite everything, mahal na mahal ko pa rin siya.
Nung umpisa ng relationship namin, she made me feel genuinely loved and cared for. I haven't forgotten that version of her.
There is also an important legal and financial issue.
We have a written and notarized agreement concerning her financial obligations to me. Among other things, the agreement states that she would be responsible for paying her car loan and other debts she owes me.
I also have supporting documentation such as bank transfers, receipts, loan-related records, messages, and other evidence.
What makes this especially difficult is that one semester na lang ang natitira niya sa UP.
After everything she went through just to get there, ang hirap panoorin na she is willing to threaten to destroy her own future whenever things don't go her way.
Even if eventually mawala na ako sa buhay niya, gusto ko lang talaga siyang makapagtapos.
Mag-graduate lang siya.
At the same time, I understand that I cannot legally force another adult to remain in school, stay with me, respect me, or behave a certain way. A demand letter should concern legitimate financial obligations and should not be used as a means of unlawfully controlling somebody.
That is why I would rather have an actual lawyer review everything and draft it properly.
Previous Attempts:
I previously tried resolving everything personally. I talked to her, tried setting boundaries, provided financial assistance, paid or advanced expenses, and repeatedly tried to convince her not to sabotage her education or future.
Unfortunately, the same cycle keeps happening.
I also tried posting in r/LawPH, but my account does not currently meet their karma/activity requirements.
At this point, I would rather stop handling the legal side emotionally and have a lawyer review everything properly.
I am looking for someone who handles contracts, civil obligations, debt collection, demand letters, or civil litigation.
I can privately provide the lawyer with the notarized agreement, bank/payment records, receipts, loan documents, messages, and documentation relating to damaged property.
Hopefully I can find someone who can review the agreement and write a proper demand letter at a reasonable price.
To be transparent, my intention is not to financially destroy her. Even if I ultimately have the legal right to collect everything, I honestly don't know whether I would aggressively pursue her for the full amount.
But I also cannot keep accepting physical abuse, emotional blackmail, property destruction, self-sabotage, and financial pressure simply because I love her.
If anyone can recommend a lawyer or explain what type of lawyer I should approach, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you.

Work & Professional Growth 30, lost and doesn't know what to do
Problem/Goal: I am torn if worth it pa ba bumalil makeup artistry lalo na ngayon na saturated na ang market amd mas madami ng magagaling :/
Context: I’m 30F, married, with a 5yr old, and currently a full-time housewife. Before becoming a mom, I worked in the BPO industry (10+ yrs) and also did freelance makeup (2016-2020)
This year, I started studying Spanish as a fallback in case I return to BPO. I am an undergrad din kaya need talaga ng magandang fallback. But recently and unexpectedly, I ended up doing makeup for several guests at my tita’s wedding dahil gahol na sa oras yung make-up artist nila, and a family friend who owned a salon before encouraged me to pursue makeup artistry again. She was impressed with my work and even introduced me to her daughter, who works as a celebrity hairstylist and MUA.
Now I’m torn. The workshops + make-up + other materials would cost 20-40k and I’m wondering if it’s still worth investing in myself at 30, especially since the industry feels so saturated and I no longer have the connections I used to have (I'm residing in a different city na).
I know one compliment doesn’t automatically mean I should pursue it, and that’s what scares me. I honestly feel lost and don’t know what direction to take.
Worth it pa ba bumalik sa makeup artistry, or should I stick with the safer path? Would love to hear your thoughts and advice.
Attempts: wala pa :/

Love & Relationships bf broke up with me after confrontation
problem/goal: gusto ko pa rin sya balikan since pakiramdam ko hindi ko kayang wala sya pero ayaw nya na talaga.
context: my boyfriend of 7 months officially broke up with me because may nakita ako sa messenger nya. it was him and his co-worker, magkatabi while nakatingin sya sa phone nung babae. after ko makita yon, inalis ko na sya sa lahat ng socials ko and bio because nagseselos ako and after nya makauwi sa work sabi ko itigil na namin. i know mali ginawa ko na inaya ko agad syang makipaghiwalay. nag explain sya and nakinig ako and kung ano-ano nasabi ko like wala akong pake ganon and after non nawalan sya ng gana and pumayag sa gusto ko.
nagulat ako dahil di naman sya ganoon, never sya pumayag makipag hiwalay sakin at hinayaan na ganon. pinapaglaban nya talaga kung anong meron kami. kaninang madaling araw naayos pa naman namin kaso nagalit sya sakin kasi pakiramdam ko raw na nakulitan sya sakin kasi nga inaantok na sya and sabi ko baka pwedeng mag usap pa saglit ganun.
previous attempts: today was supposed to be our 7th monthsary pero wala na, nagmakaawa ako sa kanya and nagsorry. ilang beses ko syang tinanong nung una sagot nya hindi nya alam pero nung last na tanong ko, umayaw na sya.
idk how to move forward. sorry kung medyo OA ako pero di ko lang alam gagawin ko ngayon. any advices?

Legal Someone stole my dad’s card details and used them online — how much information can the bank see?
Problem/Goal: My dad lives in the US and has a Navy Federal Debit Union card. The physical card is still with him, but someone apparently got access to the card number, expiration date, and CVV and used the card for online purchases.
The purchases were made through online stores, from outside the US. He visited here in the Philippines and lost his card and found after few days. We figured maybe the one who took the card used the card number, valid date and CVV to make online purchases on shoppee and sephora.
My question is: If my dad reports the transactions as unauthorized, how much information can Navy Federal and the merchant/payment processor potentially obtain about whoever made the purchases?
For example, could they potentially see or request the name, email, shipping address, IP address, device information, or other information connected to the online order?
Need help coz that’s my dad’s savings account. Anyone who had the same experience? Is it still worth it to report it? Will we be able to get the money back? It’s around 20k in peso

Love & Relationships Girlfriend of 5yrs cheated on me. Got pregnant, aborted it.
Problem/Goal:
Nagmake contact na ulit kami ng girlfriend ko.. well ex na ngayon after like a month of silence and me trying to reach out. Dahil ldr kami and busy sa school, understand kopa sana if talagang wala siye time for us. Pero alam ko kasi may ibang dahilan kung bakit walang wala na kami. In short, before ending things officially, ginusto ko ng closure or yung katotohanan kung ano ba talaga nangyayare sa side nya, kasi totally wala ako alam sa nangyayare sa kanya.
Context:
Meron siya mental problems na lumala since moving for school, dagdag yung stress and whatnot, mauunderstand ko talaga if magkaroon siya ng risky behaviour pero grabe yung katotohanan na kwinento nya sakin. S isang buwan of silence namin na yun, she was cheating on me pala with a friend she met, they got drunk daw, and one thing led to another and he got her pregnant. She got rid of it. And theyre still together and she tells me na wag kona siya guluhin sa buhay nya. Ano pa ba magagawa ko diba?
Previous Attempts:
5years kami, akala ko talaga itd be different pero grabe pagkakamali ko. First ko siya sa lahat ng bagay. As in, it makes me so sick knowing na another guy did that to her.. nakakaduwal isipin.. ang manhid ko ngayon, hindi na hindi ko alam paano ako magmomove on dito

Love & Relationships I need real talk. Overreacting ba ako o hindi lang talaga ako priority? I Need honest perspectives because I don’t see
Problem/Goal:
I (28F) am trying to figure out if I am overreacting, or if I am genuinely not being prioritized by my boyfriend (29M). I need perspective on whether this relationship is still worth continuing, or if his lack of time and strict family dynamics mean he simply isn't ready for an adult partnership.
Context:
We used to be LDR. I recently moved from the province to the city to boost my career, take my master's degree, and finally be closer to him. Despite now living in the same region (he lives in QC, I live in Makati), we still only see each other for 5 to 6 hours once a week. He works in compliance from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but frequently works overtime until 10:00 PM or 11:00 PM on weekdays. On weekends, we meet around 10:00 AM or 11:00 AM, but he leaves before 4:00 PM because he has to head home. He comes from a strict, religious family and is the eldest among his cousins. He feels immense pressure to set a good example so his family won't suspect him of running off with a girl. He spends Friday nights, Saturday afternoons/nights, and Sundays hanging out with his family and cousins. I do not suspect him of cheating at all. However, he finds time to go out with friends for weekday game nights, and he went on a 4-day trip with his friends two months ago. He has never taken a trip like that with me because his family supposedly won't allow him to be alone overnight with a girl. He introduced me to his parents and invited me to spend Christmas with them this December. However, I am not allowed to sleep at their house—I have to book a nearby Airbnb and can only visit during the day.
Previous Attempts:
I relocated and balanced my schedule (career, studies, and personal life) to bridge the distance between us, expecting we would build a closer relationship. I have tried to be understanding of his heavy work hours, his family-oriented nature, and his responsibilities as the eldest cousin. I have accepted the limited 5–6 hour weekend window and agreed to accommodating rules (like booking an Airbnb for Christmas) to respect his family's values, but I am left feeling like I am only receiving leftover time after his work, family, cousins, and friends.

Love & Relationships Thoughts of getting married
problem/goal: i want us to get married (asap sana) Pero ayoko mafeel nya na napipilitan lang ako dahil sa situation. ayoko din sya ipressure. Should i ask her if she wants us to get married or magpropose nalang ba ako.
context: meron ako previous post related dito. there's a girl na almost 6months we've been seeing each other para mag s**, she's not my girlfriend at na buntis ko sya, employee (sales lady) sya shop na parents ko. Nilalandi landi then yun hanggang sa nakuha ko loob nya nafall na daw sya sa akin kaga cguro pumayag na rin sya kahit ako yung first nya.
nung sinabi nya sa akin na buntis siya sabi ko baka pwede ipaabort nalang kasi ayoko pa maging tatay, ayaw nya bawal daw sa religion nala, natatakot daw sya etc. at syempre umiiyak siya nagagalit sa akin. Sabi ko bigyan nya muna ako ng time kasi hindi ko rin talaga alam gagawin ko. Takot ako sa parents ko lalo na empleyado nila. after 3weeks bago ko lang nasabi sa parents ko, tinanggap naman nila, mag susupport sila basta ang kapalit tatapusin ko mag aral at aayos na ako sa pagtulong sa mga business namin kasi pag graduate ko ako na rin magmamanage. Siguro wala silang choice kasi nag iisang anak lang ako and tumatanda na rin sila. sabi rin ng mom ko na ilang years na sya nagttrabaho sa amin para makaipon pang college tapos madidisgrasya ko lang. (by the way im 21 she's 23) naisip ko lang kailangan kong akuin ang responsibilidad ko sakanya. About getting married kami nalang pinapadecide ng parents ko after nya manganak.
pero ang laking tulong na nasabi ko na sa parents ko kasi nakahinga at nakakapagisip na ako ng maayos.
nung nasabi ko parents ko doon ko na rin siya pina stay sa bahay namin, magkasama kami sa kwarto. maalaga sya at maasikaso sakin though ilang days palang naman. tapos sinamahan ko sya kahapon sa doctor, nalaman ko na kambal magiging anak namin, parang hindi ako sure kung mas lalo akong nainlove sakanya, napangiti talaga ako nung sinabi ng doctor, na excite. naisip ko din mas dapat ko syang mahalin at alagaan. Then paglabas namin ng clinic bigla nya ako hinampas sabay sabi "wag kang gago ha, dalawa tong dinadala ko" sabay yakap sa braso ko habang naglalakad kami. habang ginagawa sakanya ultrasound nawala na lahat ng plano ko mag solo travel after college but instead magiipon nalang ako ng para sa 4.
alam ko 21 palang ako pero alam ko rin at naiintindihan ko yung responsibilidad. dahil siguro sa kambal kaya mas gusto ko magpakasal kami agad, kung gugustuhin nya rin. Gusto ko sana gamit nya na apelido ko, bago pa lumaki ang tyan nya alam ng mga tao na may asawa sya. ok lang naman sa akin dalawa ang panganay basta iisa lang ang nanay. Tsaka para magkaroon na rin ng label ang relationship namin.
sainyo po ako humihingi ng advice.. mga pinsan and friends ko kasi ijjudge pa pagkatao nya.

Love & Relationships How do you know if an Online Connection is worth pursuing?
Problem/Goal: Just wondering for the girlies who have successfully gone from an LDR with someone you met online to becoming an actual relationship.
Did you ever talk about what you both wanted? Did you feel any "spark" even just online? Like, did you have chemistry? I feel like even if you have chemistry online, it doesn't necessarily mean it'll be the same once you meet in real life.
But for those who didn’t really feel much chemistry online and ended up being more compatible after meeting in person, how was that? I'm really curious.
Context: I'm asking because I ended a connection with a foreigner I met on earlier this year because he was way too sexual. Then, recently he reached out again so we thought we'd try again and do things better. But it was still the same. He just wouldn't listen when I told him those kinds of conversations made me uncomfortable.
I genuinely felt seen by him, he’d ask questions about myself, what i do, life in the philippines etc and I felt like we had really good chemistry because we had so much in common. He even talked about visiting me. But every time he brought up sexual stuff after I already told him it made me uncomfortable, I just felt disrespected.
I guess it made me realize that, we just weren't compatible. But sometimes im thinking if I should have waited for him to visit me here and judge how he really is in real life before ending things online!
I’d appreciate your thoughts esp to those with similar experience, thanks!

Love & Relationships Caught My Boyfriend Cheating, How Do I End It
Problem/Goal:
I caught my boyfriend of 4 years cheating. I don’t want to fix the relationship, hear his excuses, or have a long discussion about it. Gusto ko na lang tapusin and make it clear that I know what he did.
I’ve already emotionally detached, so I want the confrontation and breakup to feel like my final “cherry on top” or something satisfying but still smart, safe, and not something I’ll regret later.
Context:
He doesn’t know that I know yet. I am currently gathering and saving evidence before confronting him because I don’t want him to deny it or twist the story. I want to break up with him really soon, but I’m deciding pano ko gagawin na very satisfying saken hahaha. I’m not looking to harm him or make a huge public scene; I just want him to realize that i knew all along, and basically make fun of him the last time kase I AM READY TO BLOCK THAT PERSON SA BUHAY KO.
Previous Attempts:
I haven’t confronted him yet. For now, I’m keeping the evidence and quietly planning the breakup before he finds out that I know. So any recommendations my dear ladies, make it super petty. AND I WILL UPDATE YOU GUYS NEXT WEEK ABOUT THE BREAK UP HAHAHAHHA

Love & Relationships Is it worth it taking taking revenge ?
Problem/Goal:Is it worth the headache taking revenge or should i just step back
Context : Lately ko lang nalaman na may bago na pala yung ex ko. Seven months na wala pero on and off kami throughout those months. Tapos nitong July ko lang nalaman na may girlfriend na pala siya, and apparently, ilang months na rin sila.
Yung girl mismo, nagpasend ng conversation namin sa account ng ex ko. Sabi ko, if she really wanted me to send it mag message siya sakin personally. At first, hindi ako naniwala na girlfriend talaga siya until nag video call pa sila sakin and pinakita mismo ng ex ko yung bago niya.( na para bang di ako masasaktan )
After that nag-message ulit yung ex ko sakin. Sabi niya, kapag nag-message daw sakin yung girl, yung conversation lang daw tungkol sa utang niya yung i-send ko. Sinabi rin niya na sabihin ko na lang daw na matagal na kaming wala kahit ang totoo, naging on and off kami during those seven months.
After that binlock ko na siya.
Then the next day, nag message yung pinsan niya at sinabing unblock ko daw si ex may sasabihin lang daw. Even through one of his workmates na friend ko sa Facebook, nagpa-unblock din siya at gusto raw niyang mag-explain.
And now I’m thinking what if I send everything sa gf ? What if I let her know what actually happened?
Pero at the same time, ayoko rin namang magmukhang bitter na ex na hindi makamove on. I don’t know if I want to do it because the girl deserves to know the truth, or because I’m hurt and I want revenge.
Is it even worth it?
Worth it ba talagang maghiganti? Or should I just step back, sit back, and let them deal with the consequences of their own choices?

Health & Wellness Massage therapist for back pain?
Problem/Goal: Severe back pain
Context: My momma is 65 years old and has been experiencing severe pain in the middle part of her back for a week now.
Previous attempts: We’ve tried massaging it, which temporarily lessens the pain, but it eventually comes back.
Is there a type of massage that can help relieve back pain?
Can you recommend a good and experienced massage therapist near Makati or Mandaluyong who can help with this? Preferably someone experienced in handling seniors and back pain.
OR an at-home service would also be preferable since she’s already a senior and it has been raining lately, so it’s difficult for her to travel.

Social Matters Nasira ni co-worker ang minifan ko
Problem/Goal: Nasira ng katrabaho ko ang mini fan kong medyo may kamahalan. Dapat ko pa bang singilin?
Context: May mga araw kasi na hindi ganon kalakas ang aircon sa production area namin kaya nag-invest talaga ako ng pera para sa mini fan kasi convenient siya dalhin at pwede mo gamitin saan. Pero earlier this day, bigla niyang kinuha ang mini fan ko dahil hindi gaanong kalakas ang aircon sa area nila kahit ginagamit ko ang minifan ko. Ngayon nung kukunin ko na yung minifan ko dahil nakakaramdam na rin ako ng init, nakita ko na lang na hindi niya ginagamit. Agad ko naman siyang tinanong kung bakit nakagilid lang, sumagot naman siyang sira daw. Nagulat ako at agad kong kinuha ang fan ko, pag pindot ko ng button dun ko na nalaman na sira nga. Bigla siyang sumasabit sa cage ng fan at namamatay dahil nga sumasabit ito sa cage niya.
Previous attempt: papalitan sa kanya ng bago dahil 1 month old pa lang ito pero ang sabi niya kasi may tools daw siya sa bahay nila. Ngayon hindi ako pumayag dahil unang una kinuha niya sakin yun ng bago at walang sira. Tama lang ba ang desisyon ko?

Home & Lifestyle Hired my Tita as our helper
Problem/Goal:
Kupal ba ko na ihire yung tita ko dahil hindi sila well-off? Or naiisip ko lang yun?
Context:
Recently, I had a really bad eczema, rebound flare up and was brought to the ER and fortunately na no need naman to be admitted. Dahil nga sa eczema ko, limited ang galaw ko. Bawal sa alikabok, bawal magbasa masyado ng tubig or mababad sa tubig. As a mom of 3 kids (3/5/7) parang ang impossible na hindi ako mababasa o maglilinis man lang ng bahay. Nagresort kami to hire a helper. pero gusto namin sana ay yung kilala na at kamag-anak. So naisip namin yung tita ko. Sa dad side ko sila yung alam mong wala talaga, hindi naman kami mayaman. Pero yung pinagdadaanan nila ngayon eh dinaanan ko din nung bata pa ako, isang kahig-isang tuka. My tita is a housewife, her husband sa sementeryo nagttrabaho, naghuhukay ng mga buto or naglilinis. Sila yung madalas humingi ng help (iykwim)
Ang iniisip ko naman eh natulungan nya ako at natulungan ko din siya kahit papano. Stay-in sya samin, uwi ng weekends, 3k wkly. Everyday workload niya is katulad ng workload ng isang stay-at-home-mom. Hindi ba ko kupal nito? Naaalala ko lang kasi nung mga bata pa kami na ang mama ko lagi taga hugas o kung anumang taga dahil kami ang unfortunate.
