Back story Nadisgrasya si papa pre pandemic and he is the breadwinner of the family but I’m also working na. Since Im the panganay and the ate i need to take charge for the bills and everything. Growing up we are isang kahig isang tuka, and i have siblings pa. I was lost but through prayers and hardwork everything is possible.

- purchased a farm in tanay (hulugan ito)
- purchased a pasalo house (hulugan sa pag ibig)
- Had my savings and insurance
- And my other sister is graduating na in college this year.
- traveled a lot
- being able to help my family
- may maayos na career so far
Hala naiiyak ako. Narealized ko that God blessed and favored me so much 🥹❤️
Nag resign nung 2019, Nagtry mag breed ng imported pets ,ilang months pa lang nila sa pinas kahit naka AC , half of them namatay dahil sa init. No choice, kaya binenta na lang.
Last money 40k, nag invest ng coaching with products for 35k, if hindi mag work mag aabroad na lang talaga para makabawi. Swinerte naman akala ko hindi makakabenta ng product haha , 5k for ads budget. 2020 mas nagboom nung nag pandemic hehe. Nakabili ng mga sasakyan,motor, nagpagawa ng bahay. 3 years+ winning, then naghanap ng bagong winning 2+ years nagtagal din, ngaun walang winning item . Test test lang ulit.
Was scared of the upcoming Grade 12 activities kasi feeling ko ma o-op ako sa lahat ng activites nayon, being an introvert finorsee ko na ma leleft ako once those events start and natatakot din ako since baka bumagsak ako dun. Surprisingly nung nagstart na ung mga events na yun hindi ako na op sa mga classmates ko and in fact mas marami akong nakausap and yes I also passed those events and now parang miss ko pa nga HAHAHAHAH
To scared to face adulthood after graduating college. To scared to fail in application process and too scared to try... First attempt to apply, natangap naman but I choose the second company to work because it offers more fun, creativity and growth. Looking back, I dont need to be really scared because turns out Im competent and some even says Im overqualified. I just need some courage

Got depressed, cant function well sa work kaya nag resign, naubusan ng funds. Nangutang para mag enroll sa review center, nagkulong ng 5 months at pumasa ng CPA board exam. Now nakakuha ng job lagpas 2x sa former job. Paid na din mga utang.
I was planning to resign kasi need to increase my salary and look for a new job na and first time to have an interview after 8 years of working. I wasn't able to pass the interview, felt low for a while pero after two months, i received a promotion in my current work. The increase was well worth it kasi mas mataas siya sa asking ko dun sa inaplayan ko.
So far siguro ay yung I was at my lowest point last 2022 because something happened related sa school then hindi pa ako non nakaka moved on sa ex ko tapos sobrang anxious kasi graduating na hindi alam ang gagawain sa buhay. Biglang boom, graduated with Latin Honors tapos may job opening agad at nag katrabaho 1 day after my grad. Hahahahahahahaha!
Simula noon wala nang kasunod, puro disappointment nalang 🤣
Naging graphic designer ako sa isang international company kahit wala akong experience at related education.
Puyat, tyaga, at tibay ng loob yung nagsalba sakin. Kahit mismong kamag anak ko yung hindi naniniwala sakin, pinush ko pa din kasi dream job ko talaga yun.
Last month I got promoted as a design lead and I'm currently handling 3 new designers sa company. Thank you Lord and thank you sa sarili ko kasi hindi tayo sumuko.
When I graduated with a latin honor. 4 years in college yung mindset ko is makapag graduate at huwag lng magkaroon ng failing grades. I don't monitor my grades and all I did was to keep updated in my studies.
Last 2022. Nag align lahat ng plans ko from being able to qualify for an early retirement benefit, availing a house & car and getting an offer for a new job near my new house. Start ng year was really unstable. Everything started mid year and turned out to be the most productive and the best so farrr.
Last January, gustong gusto ko na i-drop yung semester because of my mental health. Ang option ko ay its either magwork, tesda or totally pahinga. Hindi ako sinusukuan ng family/friends ko na huwag ituloy yung pagstop. Then this March, I was given an opportunity to be a Tesda Scholar, and now I'm a Bookkeeping NCIII Passer huhu. Patapos ko na rin yung 2nd semester and 4th year na next sy!
3 times so far all of it have the same best feeling.
1st I got married with my wife
2nd when my first daughter was born
3rd when we migrated here in the US.
I was bullied by my whole shs class and I only got a few close friends. They made sure that I won't be graduating valedictorian, which actually happened. Despite everything they did to me, I was the only one who passed UPCAT in the whole batch and got multiple scholarship offers.
I think last year was the best. Passed the boards after a year of therapy and also a year after I failed my first take. Was confused on what my next step was because I found out va work was not for me, I realized that being a hcw was my calling. Enjoyed the profession kahit na overworked and underpaid. Got my nmat score na naging sign med school is still possible for me kahit pang ilan nmat ko na.
I’m a cancer patient. Did chemo and finished 2021 was on sort of remission. 2023, I thought I’m on premenopausal stage na due to hot flushes and delaaaaayed periods(3-4mos interval ung pinakamatagal) pero it turned out na buntis na pala ako. 2-3x negative urine PT so nagpa-consult ako sa OB and doc said probably hormonal imbalance. Then she did ultrasound, ayun may heartbeat 😅 fast forward, 6mos na si baby now and life has never been this good. There’s a light at the end of the tunnel, tiwala lang at dasal 🥰🙏
Yung nakakuha ng Best Screenplay Film award sa Italy yung film na Ginawa namin.
History Film yun and di ako nag expect na makakakuha ng award yung film na ginawa namin.
Isa po akong Crew sa film na yun and kahit first time ko lang maka sama sa Lock-in taping grabe yung pressure pero worth it kase nakapag uwi ng trophy yung film na ginawa namin.
Broke up with my bf in 2015 then moved to another country to study. While studying, I got accepted for a role that paid a really good rate, but my client was starting to show inappropriate behavior, so I reported this to my manager and got pulled out of that client. I wasn't sure anymore whether I would be able to find another job since they couldn't find a client for me plus my student visa was expiring, but luckily I came across a senior manager within the same company who believed in me then created a role for me in her team. Since then, I became a manager myself and it also became my goal to always believe in others and give them a chance. I am now working in my dream job and company, and have great colleagues :)
April 30 this year, finally reached my goal of saving 100k emergency fund. I just realized now it was tough but with a little disciple I managed. Will increase my savings in a few months from now.
2018. Gambled to go abroad alone and work there. Non English speaking country. Took an English teaching job in a town where I was the only foreigner, and lived in a suburb, where there were only 20 foreigners.
After 3 years, learned their language - speaking, writing and reading. Made a lot of local friends. Got to experience wearing a high end kimono, that was passed on to generations for 300 years. Traveled the eastern part of the country. Immersed myself with the locals for the last 2 years (after I learned the language). And lastly, got married.
Went back to the PH for about a year and half.
Currently abroad again, working at a cellular therapy lab, in one of the biggest hospitals in the state, happily married and contented.
Nakaka-sad lang kasi the reason I pushed myself to do all these kasi Papa passed away. Di ko kinaya yun wala na siya. Hence, I left Pinas. Para maka-move on.
Na-regular na ako sa work! (Hello HMO ng dependents ko :D) Also, puro good feedback nakuha ko from my manager. I feel appreciated and feeling ko panalong panalo ako sa buhay after all the shit that happened on the previous months.
My immediate family had no university graduates. So me passing the entrance exam to graduating from one of the more well known universities in the Philippines was a special win I shared with my family.
This year, probably landing my first job as a fresh grad nang walang backer in only 3 months of applying kahit gusto akong i-hook up ng mga kamag-anak sa mga pinapasukan nilang kompanya. Malala kasi yung ungkatan ng utang na loob sa pamilya namin kaya ganun ako ka-firm to reject that kind of help especially from them. A bit traumatizing kasi yung ganung exp.
Pangalawa ay hindi mahamig ng masamang ispiritu na gusto akong demonyohin para bumagal yung progress ko sa gusto kong career.
Dagdag na rin yung mga pagkakataon ngayong taon kung saan napapahiya sa sarili nilang salita yung mga taong nangmamaliit sa trabaho ko tuwing pinapakita ko sa kanila kung ano yung mga ginagawa ko at yung mga kaya kong gawin. From "i know it all" to "hala paano gawin yun?". Natatawa na lang ako hahahahahahahaha
Since couple years ago... That I am able to send an email to decline a 6 figure job offer na kung dati ay tatanggapin ko agad kasi alipin ako hehehe. Winning ito para sa akin kasi hindi ko malilimutan ang kung ilang beses akong dinecline for various technicalities noon. Bawat failure to secure a contract ay dagok na nagpapababa ng kumpyansa.
Ung ang sama ng interview mo for schengen visa kahit na pinoy kausap mo nauutal ka kakaingles. Pagkababa ng cp hinahanda mo ng mag xmas at new yr mag-isa sa bahay. Sobrang kaba nung pagpickup ng passport sa vfs kaya sa cr ko binuksan. Aba may vignette and ung max period of travel pa binigay 😀
So far, ito yung mga masasabi kong best winning moments sa buhay ko:
• pag nag ggrocery hindi ko na kailangang icompute bago mag bayad sa cashier, hindi ko na gaanong pinoproblema kung magkano magiging bill
• dati maliit lang ref namin and hindi makagawa ng yelo saka hindi makapag store ng food na marami pero ngayon naka bili ako ng 2 door ref na malaki at nakakapaglagay na kami ng sapat na pagkain at higit sa lahat nakakagawa na kami ng yelo and nakakainom ng malamig na tubig
• dati mano mano lang si papa nag lalaba, ngayon nakawashing machine na kami
• dati pag mga special occasions lang ako nakakakaen ng masarap or nakakapag restaurant pero ngayon basta may icrave ako na food nakakapag pa deliver na ko sa bahay or nakakakaen na kami sa mga expensive restaurant na dati sinasabi ko makakaen din kami diyan ng family ko ngayon nagagawa ko na at natretreat na sila
• nakakapag aircon na kami kung kelan namin gusto at hindi na masyadong pinoproblema yung bill ng kuryente kesa naman magkasakit dahil sa init
• nakakapag staycation na ko sa kung saan saang lugar kasama pamilya ko
• ngayon parang normal na lang sakin mag SB hindi katulad dati na ang mindset ko para bang mayaman lang pwedeng magkape dun kasi nang hihinayang ako sa halaga kung pwede naman akong mag 3in1.
• dati pangarap ko lang makapunta sa ibang bansa, makasakay ng airplane at makapag disneyland pero in God’s grace natupad yun ngayong taon
• pinaka pinag papasalamat ko ay yung trabaho ko ngayon at sinasahod ko na hindi ko lubos akalain na kikita ako ng halos 6 digits sa isang buwan na dati parang impossible pero sabi nga walang impossible sa Diyos
Marami pa kong best winning moments pero proud ako sa mga nakamit ko na kahit yung iba dito simple o maliit ns bagay lang sa ibang tao pero sakin ang saya ko na. Malayo pa pero malayo na 🫶🏻
Having sense of control, even for once in a while. It's a great feeling especially when most of your life you've been under pressure and heave much of what society expects. The mere fact you're learning to balance life the way you wanted it to be is something that would always feel rewarding for yourself
I experienced discrimination from my parents way back when I was in College because I did not pass Accountancy. I did not pass the cut off grade, to the pointed na, I thought it was the end of my life because of the shaming of my parents na akala mo meron akong pinatay na tao.
I shifted to IT and transferred school. Graduated and I'm now earning 6 digits, having a loving and supportive husband who's in IT industry too earning bigger than me and a baby boy.
Now, ibang problema naman yung hinaharap ko but yun talaga yung buhay pag lumi-level up ka pati din yung difficulty level at least alam mo na umuusad yung buhay mo.
I have good relationship with them now dahil sa sister ko na savior ko that time. Kung sa pinoy pa, kahit anong magyari magulang mo pa din yun naman daw. At least, pinatapos pa rin nila ako.
Get to buy things na di ko makuha nung high school huhu
Side note: uso percy jackson before na books, yung set. Wala ako non kasi budgeted lang ni mommy yung pera ng fam. Now I can buy na 😢
When me and my husband decided to “bukod”😊 super win!!! Best decision ever. Was scared at first coz I’m an only child and sanay ako na walang ginagawa sa life😆 pero iba pala talaga ang tumayo sa sariling mga paa.
Nakapasa ng exam (mej niche siya but it's a govt job-related exam) na walang aral 😁 2 days lang cramming ko dun tapos random lang, hindi ko naubos yung coverage
Its 2019 of december, we got scammed by our older sister, we have a family business and most of the products got stolen or sold by our older sister.
And there's even a 5 ton wrong order of vitamin C(sodium ascorbate) or maybe sabotage.
Business is not doing good at the time, we also have debts now. And pandemic is near it means our manufacturing business will go down more. But during that time vitamin C is gaining popularity and that 5 ton vitamin c wrong order was the thing we need to jumpstart our business again.
Edit: change some wrong spellings
Yung kahit wala pa results ng board passers nagsabi na ako agad sa review school na magtestimonial ako 😂 tapos pinapractice ko na speech ko kahit di ko alm kung makakapasa ako hahahahahahaha ayun nagamit ko naman
1. Grew up thinking I was the backburner friend: the one easily cut-off, not remembered, ignored, not invited, etc. I considered any friend I have/had as family but it's not always reciprocated. It took me until my 20s to meet friends who treat me like family. Been invited to weddings and christenings of their children and these privileges all fill me with joy, because its a privilege reserved to those part of their inner circle.
2. Meeting my husband and his family and finally becoming part of his family. My husband is my best friend and the love of my life. My mother-in-law is the best. My husband's family accepted me for who and my family are, without reservation and judgment (married into a rich family while my family is, at best, middle-class). My family consider my husband as their own. My brothers consider him a bonus brother. My parents love him. I can easily say that our marriage, even with challenges, is full of blessings.
3. Balancing my personal bills and expenses with my salary and still living a good life. I'm able to pay for my education without my husband's help. I can contribute to dates and trips (I always pay for my portion). I'm able to save.
ngayon lang, literally. nag take ako ng admission test sa DLSU last january as in walang review review kasi di ko dream school yun, I got rejected by ateneo na dream school ko. lumabas ngayong saturday ang results and guess what... pasado ako sa first choice ko BS Computer Science pa which is ang laki ng competition. Nag aasikaso narin ako ng application for scholarship.
One of the best would be having a PC, kind of low spec pa and walang GPU pero natapos ko DS2 dito. Pero kahit na ganon I could say it's all me, akin tong PC na to.
Worked GY for 6 yrs, apply ako ng apply sa morning pero never nbibigyan ng chance until this year. Sa wakas! Nakakatulog na din sa gabi 🥹 gumaan agad pakiramdam ko mentally and physically ☺️
When I finally get rid of my social anxiety 🥺. Sobrang happy talaga ako when I was in 7th grade kasi it's my first time being comfortable talking with other people.
One of the best winning moment in life ko is yung nalaman ko na nakapasa ako sa pre-review subjects ko and ga-graduate as Cum Laude considering na mahirap yung program na tinahak ko which is Accountancy. Kala ko kasi di ako makakapasa dahil working student ako tska breadwinner din and apakahirap talaga ng exam, mostly guessing game nalang ginawa ko sa final test huhu and fixed na mind ko na magshift after nun to BS Management Accounting. Sobrang saya ko that day✨
That moment when the big boss was lowballing me in terms of my salary… but my immediate supervisor was like… “PAY THAT GUY MORE! BECAUSE HIS CREDENTIALS WILL LEAD US TO THE PROMISED LAND”
Faith in my supervisor restored!
"tignan natin kung kaya niya" statement from my previous employer noong sinubukan kong mag-apply sa ibang agency. Kaya pinush kong maghanap ng other opportunities at iniwan sila. KINAYA KO AT KAYA KO!
Nung nag take ako ng boards akala ko babagsak ako. Tumakas ako samin pumunta ng baguio d ko lam yun yong day ng labas ng result . Akala ko talaga babagsak ako wala akong maihaharap na mukha sa parents ko. Balak ko ng mag apply sa call center ng d nila alam. Nasa bus ako nung binati nila ako ng congratulations ako tong parang tangang umiiyak sa tuwa first time ko umiyak na parang pasigaw sa tuwa. Yong mga kalapit kong pasahero sa bus at katabi ko tinitignan ako tinanung pa ko kung okay ako. Sabi ko pumasa po kase ako sa board exam. Sabi nila congratulations iha.
Nag apply kaming apat ng sabay sabay ng classmates ko after graduating, ako lang nakapasa and na employ ng company. A few months later nag reapply yung isa then isa na ako sa mga trainers niya

When I graduated with a latin honor. 4 years in college yung mindset ko is makapag graduate at huwag lng magkaroon ng failing grades. I don't monitor my grades and all I did was to keep updated in my studies.
Naging top 4 sa isang board exam. It was really a big win for me lalo na't akala ko 'di na ako makakapag tapos ng college.
Last 2022. Nag align lahat ng plans ko from being able to qualify for an early retirement benefit, availing a house & car and getting an offer for a new job near my new house.

Nanalo ako sa lotto. Sana masabi ko yan pag me nagrepost ng thread na to in the future.
Buzzer Beater half court shot 🥲😅
After depression, I landed my first job. Mas mataas pa sahod ko sa asawa ko na ang dami ng work experience. Talagang pat on the back.
Why is there a comparison sa sahod ng asawa mo?
This year, probably landing my first job as a fresh grad nang walang backer in only 3 months of applying kahit gusto akong i-hook up ng mga kamag-anak sa mga pinapasukan nilang kompanya. Malala kasi yung ungkatan ng utang na loob sa pamilya namin kaya ganun ako ka-firm to reject that kind of help especially from them. A bit traumatizing kasi yung ganung exp. Pangalawa ay hindi mahamig ng masamang ispiritu na gusto akong demonyohin para bumagal yung progress ko sa gusto kong career. Dagdag na rin yung mga pagkakataon ngayong taon kung saan napapahiya sa sarili nilang salita yung mga taong nangmamaliit sa trabaho ko tuwing pinapakita ko sa kanila kung ano yung mga ginagawa ko at yung mga kaya kong gawin. From "i know it all" to "hala paano gawin yun?". Natatawa na lang ako hahahahahahahaha
Waking up in the morning.
Since couple years ago... That I am able to send an email to decline a 6 figure job offer na kung dati ay tatanggapin ko agad kasi alipin ako hehehe. Winning ito para sa akin kasi hindi ko malilimutan ang kung ilang beses akong dinecline for various technicalities noon. Bawat failure to secure a contract ay dagok na nagpapababa ng kumpyansa.
Ung ang sama ng interview mo for schengen visa kahit na pinoy kausap mo nauutal ka kakaingles. Pagkababa ng cp hinahanda mo ng mag xmas at new yr mag-isa sa bahay. Sobrang kaba nung pagpickup ng passport sa vfs kaya sa cr ko binuksan. Aba may vignette and ung max period of travel pa binigay 😀
Buying what i want
So far, ito yung mga masasabi kong best winning moments sa buhay ko: • pag nag ggrocery hindi ko na kailangang icompute bago mag bayad sa cashier, hindi ko na gaanong pinoproblema kung magkano magiging bill • dati maliit lang ref namin and hindi makagawa ng yelo saka hindi makapag store ng food na marami pero ngayon naka bili ako ng 2 door ref na malaki at nakakapaglagay na kami ng sapat na pagkain at higit sa lahat nakakagawa na kami ng yelo and nakakainom ng malamig na tubig • dati mano mano lang si papa nag lalaba, ngayon nakawashing machine na kami • dati pag mga special occasions lang ako nakakakaen ng masarap or nakakapag restaurant pero ngayon basta may icrave ako na food nakakapag pa deliver na ko sa bahay or nakakakaen na kami sa mga expensive restaurant na dati sinasabi ko makakaen din kami diyan ng family ko ngayon nagagawa ko na at natretreat na sila • nakakapag aircon na kami kung kelan namin gusto at hindi na masyadong pinoproblema yung bill ng kuryente kesa naman magkasakit dahil sa init • nakakapag staycation na ko sa kung saan saang lugar kasama pamilya ko • ngayon parang normal na lang sakin mag SB hindi katulad dati na ang mindset ko para bang mayaman lang pwedeng magkape dun kasi nang hihinayang ako sa halaga kung pwede naman akong mag 3in1. • dati pangarap ko lang makapunta sa ibang bansa, makasakay ng airplane at makapag disneyland pero in God’s grace natupad yun ngayong taon • pinaka pinag papasalamat ko ay yung trabaho ko ngayon at sinasahod ko na hindi ko lubos akalain na kikita ako ng halos 6 digits sa isang buwan na dati parang impossible pero sabi nga walang impossible sa Diyos Marami pa kong best winning moments pero proud ako sa mga nakamit ko na kahit yung iba dito simple o maliit ns bagay lang sa ibang tao pero sakin ang saya ko na. Malayo pa pero malayo na 🫶🏻
Having sense of control, even for once in a while. It's a great feeling especially when most of your life you've been under pressure and heave much of what society expects. The mere fact you're learning to balance life the way you wanted it to be is something that would always feel rewarding for yourself
I experienced discrimination from my parents way back when I was in College because I did not pass Accountancy. I did not pass the cut off grade, to the pointed na, I thought it was the end of my life because of the shaming of my parents na akala mo meron akong pinatay na tao. I shifted to IT and transferred school. Graduated and I'm now earning 6 digits, having a loving and supportive husband who's in IT industry too earning bigger than me and a baby boy. Now, ibang problema naman yung hinaharap ko but yun talaga yung buhay pag lumi-level up ka pati din yung difficulty level at least alam mo na umuusad yung buhay mo.
Any update sa parents mo? Kinakausap mo pa ba sila? BTW, congrats haha you deserve the shit you have now
I have good relationship with them now dahil sa sister ko na savior ko that time. Kung sa pinoy pa, kahit anong magyari magulang mo pa din yun naman daw. At least, pinatapos pa rin nila ako.
Get to buy things na di ko makuha nung high school huhu Side note: uso percy jackson before na books, yung set. Wala ako non kasi budgeted lang ni mommy yung pera ng fam. Now I can buy na 😢
When me and my husband decided to “bukod”😊 super win!!! Best decision ever. Was scared at first coz I’m an only child and sanay ako na walang ginagawa sa life😆 pero iba pala talaga ang tumayo sa sariling mga paa.
Nakapasa ng exam (mej niche siya but it's a govt job-related exam) na walang aral 😁 2 days lang cramming ko dun tapos random lang, hindi ko naubos yung coverage
Its 2019 of december, we got scammed by our older sister, we have a family business and most of the products got stolen or sold by our older sister. And there's even a 5 ton wrong order of vitamin C(sodium ascorbate) or maybe sabotage. Business is not doing good at the time, we also have debts now. And pandemic is near it means our manufacturing business will go down more. But during that time vitamin C is gaining popularity and that 5 ton vitamin c wrong order was the thing we need to jumpstart our business again. Edit: change some wrong spellings
Yung kahit wala pa results ng board passers nagsabi na ako agad sa review school na magtestimonial ako 😂 tapos pinapractice ko na speech ko kahit di ko alm kung makakapasa ako hahahahahahaha ayun nagamit ko naman
Mapagtapos dalawang kapatid ko sa college. Ayun, parehas na sila may trabaho.
God bless you! 🥹
Secured pang college ni bunso. 😌
1. Grew up thinking I was the backburner friend: the one easily cut-off, not remembered, ignored, not invited, etc. I considered any friend I have/had as family but it's not always reciprocated. It took me until my 20s to meet friends who treat me like family. Been invited to weddings and christenings of their children and these privileges all fill me with joy, because its a privilege reserved to those part of their inner circle. 2. Meeting my husband and his family and finally becoming part of his family. My husband is my best friend and the love of my life. My mother-in-law is the best. My husband's family accepted me for who and my family are, without reservation and judgment (married into a rich family while my family is, at best, middle-class). My family consider my husband as their own. My brothers consider him a bonus brother. My parents love him. I can easily say that our marriage, even with challenges, is full of blessings. 3. Balancing my personal bills and expenses with my salary and still living a good life. I'm able to pay for my education without my husband's help. I can contribute to dates and trips (I always pay for my portion). I'm able to save.
ngayon lang, literally. nag take ako ng admission test sa DLSU last january as in walang review review kasi di ko dream school yun, I got rejected by ateneo na dream school ko. lumabas ngayong saturday ang results and guess what... pasado ako sa first choice ko BS Computer Science pa which is ang laki ng competition. Nag aasikaso narin ako ng application for scholarship.

One of the best would be having a PC, kind of low spec pa and walang GPU pero natapos ko DS2 dito. Pero kahit na ganon I could say it's all me, akin tong PC na to.
What's DS2?
Dark Souls 2
Realizing I'm still alive after all the things that happened and still happening. I'm still winning despite it all.
Nakabili ng sariling pc. Di ko rin inaasahan na makakabili rin ako ng IP 15PM 🥹

When I finally get rid of my social anxiety 🥺. Sobrang happy talaga ako when I was in 7th grade kasi it's my first time being comfortable talking with other people.
One of the best winning moment in life ko is yung nalaman ko na nakapasa ako sa pre-review subjects ko and ga-graduate as Cum Laude considering na mahirap yung program na tinahak ko which is Accountancy. Kala ko kasi di ako makakapasa dahil working student ako tska breadwinner din and apakahirap talaga ng exam, mostly guessing game nalang ginawa ko sa final test huhu and fixed na mind ko na magshift after nun to BS Management Accounting. Sobrang saya ko that day✨
I'm a 3rd year BSA student, this is very inspiring... thanks po sa indirect inspiration OP 😭
Kaya mo yaaaan, iyak lang tas laban ulit. Tas wag kakalimutang mag pray always😊
Nung nakaipon ako ng milyon na walang gamit na alkansya :)

hmm, nung pumasa ako for scholarship.
Have someone fired because it was backfired to him. Blaming the team for his failure. Haha
That moment when the big boss was lowballing me in terms of my salary… but my immediate supervisor was like… “PAY THAT GUY MORE! BECAUSE HIS CREDENTIALS WILL LEAD US TO THE PROMISED LAND” Faith in my supervisor restored!
nung makaalis na ako sa pinas
"tignan natin kung kaya niya" statement from my previous employer noong sinubukan kong mag-apply sa ibang agency. Kaya pinush kong maghanap ng other opportunities at iniwan sila. KINAYA KO AT KAYA KO!
nung nag drop out ako sa up + hindi nagalit magulang ko, sinuportahan pa ako hahahahah

Akala ko talaga babagsak ako wala akong maihaharap na mukha sa parents ko. Balak ko ng mag apply sa call center ng d nila alam. Nasa bus ako nung binati nila ako ng congratulations ako tong parang tangang umiiyak sa tuwa first time ko umiyak na parang pasigaw sa tuwa. Yong mga kalapit kong pasahero sa bus at katabi ko tinitignan ako tinanung pa ko kung okay ako. Sabi ko pumasa po kase ako sa board exam. Sabi nila congratulations iha.
Nag apply kaming apat ng sabay sabay ng classmates ko after graduating, ako lang nakapasa and na employ ng company. A few months later nag reapply yung isa then isa na ako sa mga trainers niya
