My girlfriend (22F) of 5 months cheated on me (23M) this entire time with her GYM BRO and I am here busy reviewing for the Board Exams (PNLE). β€’ My girlfriend (22F) of 5 months cheated on me (23M) this entire time with her GYM BRO and I am here busy reviewing for the Board Exams (PNLE).

I am a fresh college graduate currently reviewing and preparing to take the boards this upcoming November 2024. l've been working my ass off, juggling between work and review, coming home late at night and feeling exhausted. My girlfriend and I have been together for quite some time now, and I have been planning to propose and marry her after I pass the boards.

My world shattered when a close friend presented me with compelling evidence that my girlfriend had been unfaithful throughout our relationship. She had consistently reassured me that she was simply exercising at the gym alone, and I had placed my trust in her. Little did I know, she had been spending her entire workout sessions with another man.

During her intense workout sessions, which typically lasted for several hours, I found myself without a single update from her. Despite my attempts to reach out by phone, she appeared to intentionally disconnect the call each time it rang.

I have already taken the step to block her on all social media platforms. It's important to note that she is unaware of the fact that I am already aware of the situation. I plan on responding with silence, like a ghost. I have no intention of seeking revenge. This motivated me to review seriously for the boards and to top the boards. I will just slap her with my success.

I need to know if l'm on the right track. I appreciate you all taking the time to read this.


Wait for your turn to speak β€’ Wait for your turn to speak

Whether it be in a professional or casual set up. When someone's speaking, let them finish talking, then saka ka magsalita. Hindi yung nasa kalagitnaan ng pagsasalita yung isang tao tas bigla kang b-butt in na mas lalakasan mo yung boses mo sabay puputulin mo yung pagsasalita nung tao. That's one of the most obvious way para ipakita mong squammy ka. Calm down. If something sparks in your mind, wait for your turn to talk. Di yung para kang bata na once may sumagi sa isip mo magsisisigaw ka't atat na atat kang ivoice out yung naisip mo pronto. Kabastusan yon. Sign na wala kang pinag aralan.


Mean girls β€’ Mean girls

Hello I'm 29F, mom of 3, kanina pagsundo ko sa mga kids galing school, dumeretsinkami sa Ice cream shop near their school, mainit so medyo pawisin ang mga kids.

Pagpasok namin, may dalawang babae(grade 6 siguro) na I assume bffs at may pagka mean girls vibe, is nagbulungan at tumawa ng tumawa habang pasulyap sulyap sa daughter and son ko (grade 2&3). Yung parang eksena sa mga movies. Hinayaan ko lang, kasi baka napatawa lang. Pero hindi eh, ilang beses inulit eh.

Nilapitan ko sila at tinanong ko ano tinatawanan nila? Na kukunin ko names nila. Ayun, dipa kami nakaka order, umalis na. Hahaha

Masaya at excited mga anak ko pumasok sa school at hindi sila mahirap gisingin pag may pasok. Kaya wag sisirain ng mga batang kagaya ng dalawang yun yung love nila for school.

Kasi ako sa school halos nanggaling ang traumas at low self-esteem ko!

Don't mess with my kids!! Lalong lalo na pag andyan ako!!!


got ghosted after having sx β€’ got ghosted after having sx

first time this ever happened to me, i feel like shit and so insecure if i did anything wrong or why did i deserve this treatment. of course i should know na its not on me but on the ass hole guy who literally naglaho na lang na parang bula but i still cant help but overthink and feel sad , used, and disappointed in myself for letting it happen

why cant people just be honest in rejecting others. i know ive also hooked up with peopleand not plan to meet again but i always tell them or at least put it down gently. ung ghinost lang talaga after i finally said yes to us having sex, after weeks of asking, is just a fucking asshole thing to do. anyway, bahala na karma sayo, sana wala ka nang masarap na kantot for the rest of your life 🫢🏻


He never found out the real reason why I broke up with him is bc I caught him cheating on me β€’ He never found out the real reason why I broke up with him is bc I caught him cheating on me

It’s been years since we broke up and he never found out the real reason why. I just told him we have to break up over some stuff na hindi okay sakin. Yes, I caught you and that girl you told me to never worry about seeing each other at 2am sa condo nya. I told you we have to break up and never let you know the real reason. What we had was so so beautiful i never expected na magccheat ka sakin, it was perfect. Maybe that’s the reason why I covered up for what you did, di kita nilaglag sa mga kaibigan natin kahit sobrang sakit kasi akala nila ako pa yung may kakayahan magloko kasi sobrang bait mo. I saw your conversations, all of it. You never heard any painful words from me. I prayed to God to give me the courage to leave during that time because I never thought na yung relasyong nabuo sa simbahan will end up like this. I just hope it’s worth all the pain you caused me. I pray to God our paths won’t cross in another life.



Turns out, I’m not insane β€’ Turns out, I’m not insane

I’m just very proud of myself for being able to get out of situations that no longer serve me. I’ve faced the hard work of healing until I’m finally back on my feet.

Last year, the guy I was dating was actually cheating on his long term girlfriend with me so I immediately cut ties with him and told his girlfriend about it. Then, the next guy I dated for 6 months said he’s in love with me but he’s not ready for commitment so I cut ties with him as well. All this happened while I was facing family problems and having a hard time at work. It really did a number on me and I got more depressed.

So I sought for professional help and I was told that there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m in bad situations that hurt me and me feeling that way is valid and reasonable. I did what I had to do to heal and faced the hard work of taking care of myself whenever I’m triggered.

After almost 7 months, I feel so much better now. I’m in good shape, I take care of myself, been doing the things that I used to love to do. I’m so proud of myself and I’m happier now.

I’m back in the field and been putting myself out there again. Going out on dates, trying to meet people and friends. I’ve learned to love myself even more. While in the search of finding the right guy for me, I will never let anyone take advantage of me ever again.

I’m thankful to God for listening to my prayers and here I am now. I’m stronger and wiser than ever.


I had to lie to my boss because my boyfriend of 5 years never bring me to his friends or work dinner β€’ I had to lie to my boss because my boyfriend of 5 years never bring me to his friends or work dinner

Just want to let this out. Me (F24) and my partner (M29) have been together for 5+ years (not sure how exact since we dont really celebrate anniversaries or monthsarry. Im kind of a pushover, so whatever he wants to do, i just do nang walang reklamo hehe.) Okay naman ganong arrangement saken, pero im a natural gift giver and excited always sa important events, so i exhaust myself nalang into giving it to my friends.

Anyway, nagchichika han kami ng boss ko about our partners, na whenever dinadala sya ng asawa nya sa meetings, nakatulala lang sya and doing girly stuff kasi they have different careers, her husband just wanted her to be around. And she asked if i can relate, I lied and said yes and made up scenarios where my boyfriend brings me to dinner and do the same thing kuno. Im wfh eversince, but when i had onsite job dati, i try to bring him everywhere too. Maski sa friends ko, from senior high to college, lagi ko syang sinasama. For the same reason na i just want him around.

Maski kahit nasa bahay lang kami and tinawag sya ng "kumpare" nya around the neighborhood, iniiwan nyako sa kwarto. Not necessarily a bad thing, nagpapaalam naman sya beforehand na may lakad sya and iinom sila pero he never once asked if gusto ko sumama. Minsan inuuwi nyako if alam nyang matatagalan. I asked him one time bakit di nya ako sinasama, he said mabobored lang daw ako and puro politika lang pag uusapan/pang matanda ganon. One time, pinush ko yung question " eh gusto ko sumama" Tumataas lang boses nya na huwag daw akong makulit.

To be fair, wala naman syang history ng cheating. Im not sure if nahihiya sya dalhin ako for some reason (For reference, he works in the govt and im wfh eversince) pero natatakot akong tanungin hahahh baka mapahiya/masigawan langako. Im seeing my friends naman, and they all introduce each other sa workplaces nila. I dont know if its less complicated since same age group sila unlike us, or private company kaya okay lang na mag ganon. Minsan may dinner sya with his coworkers, and pag nag seselfie sya nakikita ko kasama naman ng coworkers nya girlfriends nila. Minsan sa outing pa, pero ang reason naman nya is pamilya/asawa naman daw yon so dinako nag ask ng further questions. I really dont know.

Nabother langako na i had to lie for something so simple kasi sa 5+ years nayon, he never, and i mean NEVER introduced me to any friends, not even one. Welcome naman ako sa lahat ng family events tho.

edit: i just want to add after reflecting na maybe because im too clingy thats why? kasi i love showing affection in public unless told otherwise, i can manage naman to be formal. but i guess hes being cautious


I'm tired of hearing our family's drama β€’ I'm tired of hearing our family's drama

Putangina nakakaumay na. Araw-araw na lang kapag kumakain kami, wala akong marinig kundi pagusapan nila iba naming relatives, kahit kapatid nila, parating pinaguusapan. Three times a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, kahit pa during snacks, yun lang pinaguusapan. Pwede bang habang kumakain, let's talk about something positive or funny? Hindi puro negativity????? Uuwi na nga lang ako galing school tas sobrang pagod, darating pa akong puro reklamo ang pinaguusapan?????

Kesyo naiinis daw sila dahil ganito ganyan mga relatives namin, eh naiinis pala kayo, bat niyo pa pinaguusapan??????????????? Grrrrrr. I'm so tired of hearing our family's drama like, di niyo ba kaya mag function ng isang araw kung wala kayong pinaguusapan na ibang tao???????????? Kung questionable mga desisyon nila sa buhay edi pabayaan niyo!!! Ayaw nga nilang makinig edi wag na pagtuunan ng pansin!! Easy, tapos, no stress!!!! Gusto ko lang mamuhay ng masaya and maging positibo yung mindset ko. I'm tired of living in negativity and with grudges. Seryoso, yung mindset nila nakakabwisit na. I understand kung san sila nanggagaling and that they want to release their anger, but tangina araw-araw????? Every.single.fucking.day?????!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hayss β€’ Hayss

After being fine with being single and alone for the longest time, I finally started wanting to have a relationship. But I feel like hindi pa right time for me to get into a relationship. So I asked a friend about it. He asked me why do I think that hindi pa right time for me and I answered him by saying na "Yung aspects kasi ng well being ko is not yet stable". But then he said, "Gaga ka. You'll never be as stable as a tree in this life. You’re always going to feel like something is missing and lacking. Wag mong sayangin yung oras mo. You should be loving and be loved right now. Yung pagiging stable na yan, you can achieve things like that together in the future. Mas masarap sa feeling na may kasama kang humaharap sa problems. Kaya wag ka matakot magtake ng risk."

TRIGGER WARNING

sabi ng boyfriend ko kakampi raw siya ng mga babae. pero pahabol niya "pero kung ako ay babae, di ako gagawa ng paraan para mabastos ako. lagi ako magsusuot ng maayos. para hindi ako mabastos, hindi ako magsusuot ng nakakabastos"

context: topic kasi namin is about sa mga manyak at grapist. kung walang grapist, walang grape. kung walang manyak, walang mamamanyak.

ang sagot niya is ganyan na talaga ang mga lalaki, di na raw maaalis ang mga manyak so kailangan na lang daw ng mga babae mag-adjust. kahit revealing o hindi ang suot, mababastos pa rin daw. kaya what more pa raw yung mga revealing magsuot. kaya kung ayaw ng mga babae mabastos, magsuot daw ng maayos. sabi ko naman na gets na ng mga babae yung part na need na talaga namin mag-adjust sa mga utak na bulok ng ibang mga lalaki. pero kasi sabi niya mga babae o biktima raw kinakampihan niya pero parang sinisisi niya mga biktima kasi di sila marunong mag-adjust.


Grateful sa Sahod na Dumating Today πŸ’š β€’ Grateful sa Sahod na Dumating Today πŸ’š

Di ko alam kanino magsheshare.

Dumating kasi unang sahod ko from this company na kakahire lang sakin. Tas supeeer nilu-look up ko tong company kasi ang daming testimonies and may integrity tlaga sila. Alam mo yun, pag dun ka nag-work, nakakaproud. Tas ang nakakatuwa pa e, direct hire ako.

Ang unang sahod ko ay around 5k. HAHAHA gulat ka ba? hala 5k lang nman pala 🀨

Pero kasi 4 days ko lang kinita yan, wala pa yang night differential kasi pang umaga kami ng first 5 days. Tapos may kaltas pa yan ng government benefits at retirement benefit ng company.

I am 24F, living alone. Kagagraduate lang last year, tapos 1st job ko is 125 lang per hour, tas max na ung 2k na incentive lang per month, tapos no double pay or anything. No work, no pay pa. Tapos treated ako as self employed, so ako naghuhulog ng buo sa government benefits. Kaya so much better itong ngayon kaya grateful ako. πŸ₯°

Napapaisip tuloy ako, pano nalang ung sunod na sahod, e buo na un, tas walang deductions kasi sa company namin 2nd sahod of the month lang ang kinakaltasan.

Ayun lang 😁 Thank you for reading.


Finally employed na pero grabe! Kinakabahan ako. β€’ Finally employed na pero grabe! Kinakabahan ako.

I am about to start working this September. Just a context, isa po akong fresh grad with no experience pa so I was so lucky that the company gave me this opportunity. I have an excellent academic background naman and good portfolio. Pero I am getting a bit nervous kase I was offered a different position than that of what I applied for. In short, a better role and a bigger responsibility.

I am worried kase I literally have no background sa ganung role. And I made it clear naman sa kanila. However they gave me tests beforehand to see if I am fit for the role and I passed it naman. Yung worries ko is more on doubting na hindi ko ma fufulfill yung expectations nila towards me and I am so afraid of failures (though alam ko na its my room for improvement) Sana nalang talaga tumagal ako. I have been wanting this company.


I just want to express my frustration β€’ I just want to express my frustration

Hi, I'm F (18) and I'll tell you my whole story. Growing up, i was really confused about my gender. I have four sisters and no brothers, so my dad was eager to have a son. From a young age, i never felt like a girl because i always had a boyish haircut and only played with boys toys. Although I liked Barbie movies, but i don't play Barbie doll bcs i was scared of Barbie dolls and i mostly played with boys. Even my closest friend was a boy, and i was also close to the barbers at our barber shop where I got my hair cut.

When I was in Grade 5, I had a classmate who was in the same group of friends as me, and we became friends. She was so beautiful, and i couldn't stop staring at her. Her eyes always sparkled, and she was very modest and quiet. I really liked her, so i mustered the courage to ask if i could court her, and she said yes. I gave her candy flowers every day. But one day, I was surprised to find out that one of my male bestfriends was courting her, and she ended up choosing him. I was really angry but couldn’t do anything about it. I just forgot about it and didn't tell anyone that I courted a girl, so I went back to my normal life.

Now, in Grade 12, I like another girl. We are very close, do everything together, and go to school and come home together. I'm confused now and don't know if what i’m feeling is just infatuation. I don’t want to ruin our friendship because we have many plans for the future and college.

P.S. No one in my family or among my friends knows that i courted a girl. I can't admit to myself or others that i like girls because i'm afraid of being judged. But i feel like they sense it because i hate homophobic, even though they know i'm straight, and i strongly support the LGBTQ community.


Wala talaga sa tagal ng relationship if papakasalan ka or not β€’ Wala talaga sa tagal ng relationship if papakasalan ka or not

Never akong naniwala sa kasabihan na yan kasi I know there are couples in a long term relationship na nagkakatuluyan and nagpapakasal. So I was in a relationship with this guy. Throughout the relationship, akala ko sya na. Lagi ako nag ooffer na mag live together na kami or kept asking him kelan ba kami papakasal. We both have our savings and stable jobs so what were we waiting for. Lagi lang nyang sinasabi na β€œin time” hanggang sa hindi ko na lang sya nakita sa future ko kasi parang wala naman talaga sya plano for us. We broke up in 2023. So ngayon 2024, nagreconnect kami since he greeted me on my birthday then I learned na may ka live in na sya and engaged na sila. In less than a year, nagawa nyang lahat yon. Pero sa almost 4 years namin, never syang nagshow ng interest kahit sa pag live in lang. Di rin sya nagpropose kahit pajoke lang. You know what’s funny? Pinagmalaki pa nya na sya yung nagpropose na mag live in na raw sila. I thought I was done being hurt by this guy pero ngayon nasaktan na naman ako. Overthink na naman na hindi ako pang wife material or am I someone na palaging magbubuild ng man for other women.


Diamond β€’ Diamond

Today I finally had the resolve to delete all of our photos together. We've had a lot of memories, good and bad. I know you will take good care of our cat. Give her the happiest life she can have. I don't actually know what to say. I guess typing is easier than writing on my journal.

Thank you for our time together. Though a difference in belief is what separates us, know that I love you, truly and deeply. Until now, I believe there is a way. But I will not force you. A relationship requires compromise. If I had the opportunity to sacrifice, I would have done so in a heartbeat. But alas, the decision is not mine to make. Contrary to what people say, love does not win every time.

I gave you everything I had and more. I hope I truly made you feel loved. Take care of yourself and have a happy life. I will miss you and I love you so much.



Hindi ako comfortable around our kasambahay β€’ Hindi ako comfortable around our kasambahay

I'm not usually like this sa mga past kasambahay namin. Mabait naman ako sa ibang tao in general. If may di ako gusto sa isang tao, di ko naman yun pinapakita and wala rin naman akong pakielam. Ewan ko din sa sarili ko kung bakit pero never ako naging kumportable dito sa bagong kasambahay namin kahit almost 2 months na siyang nagtratrabaho samin and everyday yun. I think okay lang din naman siya sa parents at mga kapatid ko. Nagagawa rin naman niya yung work niya ng maayos. I really want to be nice to her pero lagi ko siyang nasusungitan as if matic na yun yung reaction ng katawan ko kapag kinakausap niya ako and I feel bad palagi. Parang may something na hindi ko alam kung naiinis ba ko sakanya kahit wala naman siyang ginagawa or di lang talaga ako kumportable na kasama siya sa bahay.

Is there something wrong with me? Or is there something that I can do para mawala tong uneasiness na nararamdaman ko?


One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. β€’ One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

Totoo nga ang kasabihan na β€˜yan. I remember when I was in college. My ex boyfriend find it so hard to travel from Manila to Laguna. Sobrang struggle sa part nya. He’s a basketball player for this university. I’m the type of partner na hindi mahigpit, hindi rin ako needy at mas lalong hindi praning. I always give my utmost support pag may upcoming games sya. Ang struggle nya being an athlete ay struggle ko rin. I was the most supportive partner you could ever asked for until I’m starting to realized, i’m becoming a doormat. He never posted me on any of his social media. Sobrang likers din sya sa mga photos ng babae. And then one day, he told me na hindi na sya makakauwi muna. (he’s also from province as well) After a week, in the middle of my thesis, he left me. Let’s break up na daw. Guess what? After a week may bago na syang pinopost. Literal na hard launch si kuya.

After few years, I moved abroad. I met this guy who pursued me even tho we’re thousand miles apart. We’ve been dating for 5yrs now and I already knew ito na yung lalaki na para sakin. Sya yung taong hindi na kailangan utusan at tanungin pa. He’ll make sure na hindi ako mag o-overthink at may peace of mind ako palagi πŸ’• Sya yung partner na palagi akong pinag-mamalaki online man or personal (I never asked him to post about me) Despite the distance, sa kanya ko lang naramdaman na hindi ko kelangan makipag compete at mag stalk ng iba pang babae. Dahil he will make sure na ako lang at wala ng iba pa. Looks wise? Laking gwapo nya din sa ex bf ko πŸ˜…

Totoo pala na pag dumating na yung tamang tao para sayo, aalagaan ka nya at mamahalin ng mas higit pa sa inaakala mo. He already moved here all the way from Philippines. He let his younger sibling to took over their family business para masundan nya ako dito dahil he plans to build family with me daw. I found a partner whose matured enough to handle me. Ang sarap sa pakiramdam pag sobrang mahal ka ng partner mo ☺️

I came from a person who wouldn’t even cross a bridge for me. But I met a man who will cross the world TO BE WITH ME. In few months, we’re getting married na ❀️

This post is just a reminder na may taong dadating talaga para satin. Yung mag paparamdam ng totoong pag mamahal. Totoo yung kasabihan na.. if he wanted to, he would.


My family indirectly told me that I do make up for male gaze β€’ My family indirectly told me that I do make up for male gaze

It's so annoying, nakakabwiset. I (F17) and my mother (F52) and older brother (M32) are literally ganging up just to tell me that I use make up and skin care to get attention from guys, which isn't true at all.

Mind you, I only apply moisturizer and suncreen everyday, and lipstick lang because I am very insecure with my pale lips, and I wanna add some color (I use nude-colored lipstick since it looks good on me and perfect siya for everyday). But then, my brother got angry with it and told me na ginagawa ko raw yun para "magpapansin" at kapag nag make up daw ang babae, malandi raw yan.

And my mother has this pick me girl behavior. Telling me that I should keep everything natural daw kasi nagka-asawa naman daw siya without applying anything on her face, and that I should do the same too. As if what I am doing is even bad? Nakakapagod.

Kesyo ang arte-arte ko raw, saan ko raw ba yan nakuha, hindi raw maganda. I don't know anymore. I tried not to give a damn, pero halos araw-araw nalang ganyan yung sinasabi nila, nakakasira ng confidence.

A breakup from a relationship I hoped, and thought would last forever.

Living alone. It is liberating and fun pero may special kind of sadness lalo kung bago ka lang sa place, you don't have much friends and may pagka introvert pa..

These combined with other thoughts are nakakabaliw, deadly even. The uncertainty of the future, and the biggest question of life's purpose. That void in life that no amount of money, travel, food, or any material things can fill.

Eto yung drivers ng insomnia or unhealthy thoughts of not continuing with life pero palaban tayo sis and takot masaktan so we continued. haha Discovered Reddit, the power of talking to people and keeping your mind occupied. Slowly, my unhealthy thoughts are no longer the center of my daily life and idle mind. nanahimik na sila. hahaha

I pray for people who are experiencing the same negativity I had, I pray that you'll see the beauty in simple things. I pray that your doubts and worries disappear, and your hearts will be at peace. Your feelings are valid. Kaya mo yan. :)


As for me, life is now better - gained online friends and chatmates. Learning new things and experiencing life outside the restrictions of being prim and proper

Sorry, readers. Random thoughts lang po ito that I just want to get out of my system kasi I'm thankful that I get to this point. And I'm thankful na I met a genuine friend here na even though we do not share any personal information about each other, he's a great addition to my support sytem. My daily dose of sanity. Na it made me realize na yung daily reels and simple conversation can have huge positive impact on us. I hope I'm helping him too. I hope that friendship lasts forever 'coz he's different from all the manyaks I met here. LOL. a genuine friendship indeed.

Yun lang. Thanks for reading! πŸ’™

Boomer Tita and BodyShaming β€’ Boomer Tita and BodyShaming

So just this morning tumambay ang Tita ko sa sala namin. She started talking about how attractive my boyfriend is. Ang gwapo daw tapos sana daw magmana ang anak namin sa kanya. (Which is already offensive kung iisipin mo) Then she proceeded with offending remarks like,

Wala pala talagang pinipili ang love no?

Kasi tingnan mo si ___ (BF KO) love niya si ___ (AKO) kahit mataba siya.

Kasi ang ibang lalaki, maghahanap talaga ng sexy.

Pero si ___(BF) love niya talaga si ____ (AKO).

And I was like, "preference niya kasi mga chubby tita." (Which is sinabi talaga ng BF ko)

Then sabi niya "ah ganun ba?"

I tried to brush it off but as I rethink about it minutes after, parang na offend ako sa mga sinabi ng Tita ko about me.

Why would she think na hindi ako deserve i-love dahil lang mataba ako?

I don't know what her intentions are pero it's really offensive.


Finally got the courage to quit my first job β€’ Finally got the courage to quit my first job

Posted here weeks ago how my manager treats me. And now, I finally had the courage to quit.

For context: Sinabihan ako ng manager ko na hindi raw talaga ako nakapasa sa interview at hiring nila, hindi raw ako magaling, at hindi raw ako ang first choice nila to my colleagues behind my back.

After ko ma receive lahat ng salita na yan, I tried to stay and understand her. Pero mainit pa din talaga ang mata nya sa akin despite my efforts at ambag sa work.

Una, pinupuna nya yung late ko ng ilang minutes. While may mga kasamahan naman rin akong mas late pa sa akin at nakakapag wfh ng isang linggo kahit walang letter.

Pangalawa, palaging destructive criticism ang narereceive ko from her kahit isang buwan pa lang kami sa trabaho at wala man lang kaming proper orientation or training man lang na ibinigay. Nag eexpect na mag deliver ng PERFECT accomplishments kahit wala namang proper guidance na nagmula sakanila. Sobrang gulo nila at hindi malaman kung sino ang dapat sundin na desisyon sa mga bagay bagay.

Panghuli, kinukwestyon pati yung pagkuha ko ng sideline aside from that work mismo kahit kontrakwal lang naman sakanila at sila na rin mismo ang nagsabing β€œfLexI tiMe”.

After ilang weeks ng pagtiis, nagpasa ako ng resignation letter. Pumunta sa mga assitant nya at sinabing β€œkanya kanyang lakad oag resignation” at since hindi nga pamilyar sa administrative works dahil wala namang matinong orientation, nilakad ko ang formal letter ko para mag resign.

Ibinalita na mayroong OIC dahil mawawala yung manager. Iniligay ko sa resignation letter ang OIC at pinapirmahan. Pinirmahan ng OIC, sumunod sa direktor at pinirmahan din. Hanggang sa makarating nasa HR at pinirmahan na rin ng HR.

Makalipas ang isang araw, ipinatawag ako nung manager sa harap ng direktor. Nagsasasalita na binypass ko raw siya dahil kakarating palang ng memo ng araw na yun ng OIC. Samantalang pinirmahan naman nang mga kailangang signatories yung letter ko. At ang punto ko resignation naman na. Kahit na kung tutuusin eh wala pa kaming appointment talaga at mistulang kolorum pa kami sa trabaho na yun. Wala rin sa kontrata na dapat tapusin ang 6 na buwang contract sakanila. Sa hindi malamang dahilan ng pamemersonal ng impaktita, alam kong ego nya na lang pinapagana nya at character assassination ang gusto nya. At doon, sinabi ko sa harap nya lahat ng nalalaman ko na paninira nya sakin sa harap ng ibang tao na akala nya ay hindi makakarating sa akin.

Gusto ko na sanang idulog itong pangyayaring ito sa 8888.. pero naisip na hayaan na lang rin ang karma.
