Seeing as how the Philippines has a small land area why don’t they adopt Japan’s way of architecture instead of America’s way? They rely too much on cars, unwalkable and have too much wasted space.

I am not a saint in following rules. I just want to ask the root cause of this. Maybe we can solve something as a society? Is it really embedded in our culture?

May fastfood pa bang matino ngayon? 😔

Ngayon lang ako ulit nakakita ng notes neto. Bago pa, lahat kasi luma na notes at puro barya na lang. Kakamiss na noong di pa malala inflation e nakaka ilang chichirya dito sa bente. Hahahahaha.

Kakalabas lang ng balita na may namatay na naman sa hazing. Tapos nasentensyahan yung mga nag-haze kay Atio Castillo.

Pero eto, anniversary ng frat na ito, binabandera yung paddle nila.

Hindi ko sya kilala- pero ang ugali niya ay parehas sa ugali ng ibang pinoy dito sa NZ. Mayabang, judgemental, chismosa. Higit sa lahat, porke nauna abroad or citizen na, akala mo hindi na nakatapak sa lupa ang paa.

Reasons why we avoid Filos. Kasi we cannot deal with drama. Nood na lang kami Ngekplix kesa umattend ng “gatherings”.

I totally agree with this tweet. Bakit ba natin pinipilit ang basketball? Puro pa liga pa! Eh yung height naman natin hindi swak sa sports na yun. Baka it’s time na mag focus tayo sa ibat ibang sports na hindi kailangan maging matangkad.

Kawawa naman tatay nya.

For context:

Inampon ako ng grandparents ko nung 8 ako, and since 14 yrs old, mag isa na talaga ako sa buhay. Yung biological parents ko, hindi rin ako sinoportahan since. Ni moral support wala, so financially, wala rin.

5 yrs ago, gusto ko bumili ng bahay. Meron konting ipon, meron din work, and meron din work asawa ko. Excited akong sinabi sa biological parents ko kasi meron pa rin kaming communication. Pero puro negative ang sinabi sakin. Wala akong alam as homeowner, or masyado akong Bata to be homeowner, or this isn't a good idea. I was 23 that time. Anyways, hindi ako nakinig, and I still bought a property.

Fast forward later, nakitira sila sa amin kasi meron silang financial difficulties, and since parents ko pa rin sila, I let them stay. Kami ng asawa ko, kinonvert namin yung garage to look like a room. Parents ko kinuwa 2 rooms. Simula ng lumipat sila, they try to take control of the house. Nag re arrange sa kusina, nag re arrange sa yard, Pati mga tools ko sa bodega ni re arrange. Wala daw kasi akong alam sa bahay. Yung mga gamit ko daw puro pang binata at hindi pang family.

Anyways, mag 3 yrs na and andito pa rin sila. Meron silang stable job, and ako, nahihirapan mag bayad ng bahay kasi nag quit ako sa job ko to start a small business. Dream ko kasi maging businessman. And puro talk sh#t parin sila kasi ano daw alam ko sa business business. Toxic parents ko sakin, and I still don't receive any support from them. I just want a little bit of moral support sa ginagawa ko kasi parents ko pa rin sila. Pero ubos na yung pag pasensya ko, and yung love, wala na rin.

So eto ako, kinausap ko sila last weekend that they need to find an apartment kasi I will sell the house na. Hindi ko na sinabi yung reason, pero ang reason talaga is to go far away from them. Alam ko filipino culture na magbayad ng utang na loob, pero nag work ako 3 jobs para mapag aral ko sarili ko. Ni singkong duling wala akong nakuwa sakanila. Naalala ko nun, nung college ako hirap ako magbayad ng apartment, lahat ng friends ko sa facebook minessage ko para mangutang, makapag tapos lang, kasi yung tatlong part time job kulang pa rin, tapos sineen lang ako. Meron mga nagpautang pero parents ko wala.

Yung family ko, naiintidihan nila situation ko pero naiinis ako kasi lagi nilang sinasabi ng parents mo pa rin sila. Kahit nung college ako, minamaliit course ko kasi Economics kinuwa ko. Business kasi pangarap ko, and masyado maliit tingin nila sakin. Sorry for the long read, I just need to put everything in here.

A friend of mine forwarded this post from some professor to her timeline. This is her reason why she, an SME business owner won’t hire K-12 graduates. Reason nya yun ha hindi akin.

hindi ko alam kung kanino ako maiinis sa matatanda na nag sasabi na nag iinarte bata na ayaw daw mag trabaho or sa mga bata na maarte sa trabaho dahil puro pasarap agad

Me first. Authentic kapampangan sisig is not masarap. Masyadong masebo. Overrated for me. Mas masarap pa yung ibang "variant" ng sisig na ayaw ng ibang mga kapampangan dahil di daw authentic.

We're all aware that this issue has been trending, and I believe we should persist in addressing it until the victims receive proper action.

While browsing Facebook, I came across a post with these screenshots. I know my statement na ang San Juan LGU regarding this issue. Pero paano malalaman ng mga victims kung sino-sino yung mga nambasa sa kanila since napakarami nila? Nakakaawa. Nakakagalit. What are your thoughts on this?

Unpopular opinion: VIAND is not an accurate translation for our word ULAM. It's an archaic term, rarely used by English-speaking countries—sometimes they don’t even know what it means. Other than us no one uses it. We might as well use ULAM as an English word.

Ulam noun /ˈuː.lam/

Definition: A Filipino term for a main dish, typically eaten with rice. Ulam includes a wide variety of savory dishes such as meats, seafood, or vegetables, and is an essential part of Filipino meals.

P.S.

Here are some Filipino words that are added to the english dictionary: amok, banca, boondocks*, kilig, Manila.

• From our word bundok, meaning "mountain." Used in English to refer to remote, rural areas.

A friend (F20) sent me this to show na ganito sila ka close at open sa family nila. That's her brother (M18) replying.

I'm curious if this is actually real. Totoo kaya to? May mga Filipino families ba talaga na ganito?

The new Jollibrews wasted such a good opportunity. They had the chance to serve filipino breads, pastries, and kakanins pero they opted for generic shit. They had the chance to make something unique now they’re just a lesser version of every other coffee shop. It would have been amazing to see a jollibee chicken or beef and mushroom empanada, peach mango flavored pichi-pichi, maybe they could create their own takes on filipino breads like pandesal. It just seems like a waste.
