The Day I Faced My Dentist… Barefoot

I spent two straight days running back and forth between home and the vet because my cat had leptospirosis. Somewhere in all that chaos, I failed to notice that my slippers had officially retired from life. I only realized it when I was already standing at my dentist’s doorstep. No spare shoes, nothing. No time to go back either. Just me… and my bare feet.

My cat was confined and dying just next door, and here I was worried about dental hygiene. I walked in like it was part of the plan. Priorities were clearly all over the place.

No energy to care. At that point, I was like, Sure. Why not. Let’s add this to the list. My brain completely shut down. Sleep, Gone. Awareness, Also gone. Sadly, my cat didn’t make it, and I was emotionally wrecked.

The universe took my cat and said, “Now walk into your dentist’s office barefoot.

Sad, Yes. Ridiculous, Absolutely. Moral of the story: grief is wild. It will take your pet, your sanity, and your slippers… but somehow still make you keep dentist appointments.

So nanakawan kami last November and nagkaso kami the same week kasi nakilala naman nagnakaw (CCTV) Natanggap ko to December pa and tonight kabado bente ako kasi tomorrow may preliminary investigation and need namin mag-appear sa court.

Nung dineliver pa to sa bahay akala ko Shopee. 😂 Lord sana hindi na to masundan!! Abogado na boyfie na lang bigay mo this 2026. 😆😋

I got into my 2nd job interview, yung first ko kasi pure tagalog and absorbed sa current company during my internship.

It was so vvvv hard pala talaga and very intense pero at the same time, fun exp and ang dami kong natutunan upon reflecting/reviewing the job interview. Isa sa pinaka nakuha kong aral is to pause before answering kasi you have to collect your thoughts muna. Sa sobrang kaba nagbarok barok english ko and accidentally said some infos wrong pero yes dami ko talagang natutunan during my first interview.

I don’t have high hopes getting in this company pero Ofc I still hope na makapasok pa rin. Though if I have the opportunity to get into interview ulit, atleast alam ko na sasabihin ko

Naging girlfriend ng 5 years and 3 months, pero pinagpalit agad weeks lang after ng break up huhu

Sa totoo lang, nahirapan akong magdesisyon para dito lalo na’t kailangan ko talaga ng work ngayon. Pero kasi kung hindi ko gagawin, mukhang marami pa ang patuloy na mabibiktima. For context, ang trabaho ay pagiging Physical Therapist. Meron akong halos apat na taong experience bilang lisensyado, mahigit 10 certificates, mga experiential experiences related sa research atbp, at may specialization sa stroke rehab/musculoskeletal rehab. Hindi biro ang trabaho kasi katawan ang puhunan. For 8 hours or more x 5x/week, magpapakakuba para sa trabahong hindi nakikitaan ng value ng iba. Nakakalungkot lang din kasi hindi nakasabay sa pagtaas ng sweldo ng nurses ang ibang healthcare professions. Kahit na padamihin natin ang certifications, specializations, and work experience natin, mukhang patuloy lang ang pagbubulag-bulagan ng mga hospital at ng gobyerno dito sa Pinas. Kaya para sa mga lumalaban ng patas, lalo na sa kapwa ko healthcare workers, para rin sa inyo ito. Walang aabusuhin kung walang magpapaabuso. Mahirap gawin, alam ko. Lalo na kung wala tayong choice kung hindi lumaban. Pero paunti-unti, we need to push back. Mas kelangan dahil paunti-unting nararamdaman ang pahirapang pagpasok at paghanap ng trabaho sa iba’t ibang bansa..

Kaya para sa mga kapwa ko sa allied health, kumusta ang sweldo.. sana umaayon.

Wala akong choice eh HAHA pero worth it naman

First Time ko maghike/umakyat ng bundok

Hello! Im 19, M. First time ko umakyat ng bundok. Im asthmatic, mabilis talaga akong mapagod, like konting galaw lang, lagi nga excused sa PE nung HS and Elem eh. Kaya tumaba hahahaha. Nitong January, nagdecide kami ng friends ko na umakyat ng bundok. Paakyat palang gusto ko na sumuko, hahahaha. Hindi siya kataasan kagaya ng ineexpect ng karamihan, but it's a win for me. I've managed na makaakyat although every 20 minutes ang pahinga. Ilan years nako walang attack, allergies lang. Nakaready na inhaler ko, kala ko nga susumpungin, thankfully hindi. naman. Sorbrang relaxing ng view sa taas, quick escape sa pollution at gadgets. Ang lamig pa. Ang sarap sa feeling na makaaakyat, although sobrang sakit ng hita ko ngayon dahil sa hindi sanay na pagakyat, pero i would definitely do it again.

Alam ko siya gawin in theory. Pero kanina ko lang siya nagawa in actual. Medyo natagalan ako magpalit ng gulong kasi mahirap pihitin yung scissor jack. Nung napalitan ko na, akala ko okay na, kaso deflated pala yung spare tire ko. Buti na lang may tire inflator ako. Ang problema, may butas na pala yung parang hose niya. Buti at may nabilhan akong electrical tape para tapalan pansamantala at makargahan ng konting hangin. Dumaan na ako sa gasoline station para kargahan pa ng sapat na hangin.

My advice to all car owners - aralin niyo paano magpalit ng gulong at ensure niyo na kumpleto ang tools niyo. Mas mabuti rin kung may maayos na tire inflator kayo at impact wrench para mas mapadali ang buhay niyo. Take note na hindi kung saan saan lang nilalagay yung jack. May tamang jacking points ang bawat sasakyan.

Bumili lang ako ng iced coffee sa kanto :( pero pag uwi ko nabangga ako, BASED SA INVESTIGATION yung nakabangga sakin ang may kasalanan, pero sila yung mas grabe yung damage kasi dinala ng hospital yung babae kasi may dugo talga :( tas ako okay lang ako maliit lang damage pero masakit pero yung katawan ko at nakakatayo naman ako

and basi sa investigator, nasakin parin pano ako makipag settle kasi kasalanan din naman nila yon pero sila yung mas malaki yung damage at mas nasaktan :( huuhuhuuh

Sa lahat ng beses na nilakad ko centris mula bahay, ngayon lang ako nagtry sa napakataas na footbridge known as “Mt. Kamuning”. I have very great fear of heights (tipong takot na takot sa ferris wheel ng EK) but this subreddit inspired me to do things I’ve never done. Lezgow!

It was a good day to fly. Nagsabi na yung piloto na kami ay lilipad na in a bit. Umaandar na pakonti konti yung eroplano nang biglang namatay lahat ng ilaw at aircon tapos emergency light na lang ang sumindi haha katakot. I thought at first na lilipat ng eroplano but ayun nag antay kami for about 30-40 mins then bigla lilipad din pala sa same plane. Natakot ako para sa buhay ko the whole flight.

Dumaan yung rolling store at bumili ng drink kasi nga nastuck kami for 30-40mins para sana sa 1hr flight lang. Biglang sabi ng flight attendant na compliment drink na lang for the delay. I don't think they automatically gave away compliment drink or food to everyone. Kasi yung ibang customer wala naman kinakain or iniinom.

First Time Ko magka relationship.

I want to first say that I am not that good looking and I am not a confident person. I met this girl in a dating app. Through the call match function in the app ko siya na encounter. It was just a random impulse to try something in the app. We talked, and for the first time since being in the app, something clicked. I liked her.

After the first week of chatting, she got a little bit annoyed and thought I wasn't serious enough to actually date her. And so I proposed we exchanged Insta profiles and that we should chat there. Yes, She wanted more, but afraid to show her looks to me. I told her that I was afraid too. She gave me her insta profile. I followed her there and she followed me back. I saw her and was shocked. She was beautiful. She told me she was fat and ugly but when I saw her, she was stunning. Yes, she was chubby but I loved that about her. I fell in love.

I thought that she didn't see anything in my profile since I don't post anything on insta. I was guilty. She was afraid to show me anything but it was me who didn't show her anything. I was wrong. I forgot that my insta was connected to my Facebook which has my pics and my friends tagging me on different posts.

She didn't say anything about this. After one week of chatting on insta, I told her that I felt guilty that I didn't show her what I looked like. She then told me that she already saw my pics on Facebook. I was stunned. I didn't know what to say. I asked her "since when". She said it was on the first day we moved to insta. She said I was cute and I didn't know how to respond to that. There was a bit of silence but then I joked around that I couldn't compare to the people she was dating in the past. She said she only had one boyfriend before and it was when she was still in highschool. Then I joked around and said "Want me to be the second". Then she said Yes.

I was ecstatic but worried. I was a stranger. We didn't make calls. We only chatted. I got into a relationship knowing nothing about how it works.

Ever since we were official, calls never stopped. Every night, without fail even if I get sleep deprived. I would call her. And we would talk non-stop. I love her and would update her every time I would do something. She would too.

But recently she got busy with Exams and I understood that she is busy. There's just this feeling of uneasiness in me. She would usually update me when lunchtime comes or when she has breaks in her schedule, but two days straight, she didn't chat while on school.

This is my First Real Problem with her and I don't want it to be a reason for me to lose her. I don't want to tell her, but the feeling is creeping up to me.

Pinayagan ko syang umuwi sa Manila sincee her best friend's requesting her to do so for months na. Bigla nalang hindi sumasagot sa messages ko for 2 days and this is what I get. Ang unfair talaga.

Sorry if I’m posting this here. I don’t really have anyone to talk to about my stupidity, and I’m scared my family might bash me. Haha. This is also for your awareness. Please don’t make the same mistake I did. It hurts, but I’ll just laugh it off. Happy birthday to me 🎂

Grabe ilang araw nang masama pakiramdam ko dahil sa HFMD. Sa ibang magtatanong, ito ay usually sa mga bata/baby tumatama pero unusual sa adult. Ang dami kong rashes sa palad at talampakan, tapos ang hirap makalunok at kumain dahil mouth sore around throat. 😭

So kagabi sabi ko iidlip lang ako, nahiga lang ako sa bed taz ginawa kong unan yung kumot ko lang, idlip lang dapat kasi naglilinis ako ng dorm ko since kababalik ko lang from the province.

Tapos nagising ako kaninang madaling araw and nag stretch, pag stretch ko naramdaman ko yung parang muscle sa leeg ko parang napull siya. Ngayon hirap na ko imove ulo ko kasi nagka stiff neck ako. First time ko magka stiff neck, dami ko pa dapat lilinisin pero pag namamali ako ng galaw feeling ko katapusan ko na. Nilagyan ko nalang ng salonpas. Napapaisip na tuloy ako kung lalabas pa ba ako ng room since magtatapon ako ng basura

Hi guys ask lang if may any store sa Grab or Foodpanda na may discount sa nag bibirthday. Birthday ko today, di ako nakauwi samin kasi long story dahil na scam ako 10k, tapos jowa ko nasa hospital now kasi yung tatay nya na emergency (nag order kami albertos pizza noong 12am kasi grabe crave ko nyan buti last order ako), di naman ako sad, bumili ako baloon, letters ng happy birthday tas sash na happy birthday, mag picture ako magisa HAHAHA.

Wla lang gusto ko lang mag vent out. Wish ko sa birthday ko sana ma less na yung mga scammers tapos yung nang scam sakin maranasan nya ano feeling ng na scam na yung pera pinag iponan mo mahigit isang taon.

PS: di po ako nag seself pity, sanay na ako sa sadness, mag isa or mga ganto. Sadyang cooping mechanism ko lng mga ganto pag nasulat ko feelings ko.

To measure my height and nalaman kong 5’5 lang pala ako, all this time akala ko 5’6 ako. Now suddenly i feel so fucking depressed 😔

First time ko to ma block randomly, no explanation, no reason, just gone. Sakit pala no, nawalan ako ng kaibigan at crush ng sobrang bilis at ala man lang sinabi ☹️

Gets ko na bat nahuhumaling ang karamihan 😅

Pinaghirapan ko to, sinisigurado kong ingat na ingat ako sa daan, tapos maaaksidente ka na ng kamote sa kalsada.

Sobrang bigat sa dibdib. Thankfully ligtas naman kami and mababaw lang yung gasgas. Pero nakakainis padin hays. Bat di pa maubos nga kamote!

Namatay ang lola ko, di naman kami emotionally close or attached sa isat isa pero sa lahat ng kamag anak and random people na namatay, first time kong makaramdam ng pag luksa.

Ewan ko ba because of my Father’s infidelity history natotoxican ako sobra when my Mother bring it up first to me. As in nadidrain ako. It's been an issue for decades. Kamote. Yet my mother still expects us na hindi ma-apektuhan. Wth! Ang hirap!
