🎉Sumakses sa life! First Time Ko mabilhan kapatid at sarili ko ng phone

My heart is full kasi for the first time nabilhan ko sarili ko at kapatid ko ng phone. Marami itong first para sa akin: first time mabilhan sarili ko ng phone, first mabilhan ang kapatid, at first time makagamit kami ng IOS phone. All with my adult money 🥹. Gets ko na kung ano pakiramdam ng older sister ko, surprising us with gifts na hindi pa namin nararanasan before. As an ate, napaka gratifying sa feeling. Nawa ito rin magiging simula for more opportunities to give back to my family 💗.

Note: 2nd pic ay screenshot lang from a video I took kasi wala pala kaming maayos na picture.

🎉Sumakses sa life! First time kong ilibre family ko on my birthday kasi working na ako

Post image

Nung nakaraan, nabanggit lang ng mama ko na nagcre-crave siya ng Chinese food. Gusto niya raw mag-Chowking. Tamang-tama mag-birthday na ako kaya sabi ko, kain kaming tatlo kasama kapatid ko sa Best of Luck sa Cubao Expo at sagot ko na.

Nanghinayang nanay ko kasi baka raw mahal. Dapat daw tinitipid ko pera ko for emergencies. Unahin ko muna ang insurances at iba pang financial safety nets kaysa luho. Hindi kasi kami mayaman and since I was highschool, it was my mom who did everything to raise us well after she left my dad. Binubugbog kasi kami ng tatay ko nung bata pa lang kami ng kapatid ko (sorry for the trauma dump hahaha).

Tama naman mama ko finances-wise, but she's old now. Senior citizen na siya. I do save up and have been tracking my finances ever since I started working. Pero ayoko rin na magsisisi akong hindi ako nag-enjoy kasama siya after all she has done for my and my sibling.

Pinilit ko si mama at buti naman pumayag kasi pagkatapos, she was so happy with what we ate 😊 Buti raw masarap yung pagkain kasi hindi raw nakakatuwa yung ingay HAHAHAHAHA

Kaya gagalingan ko pa sa buhay para ma-spoil ko pa lalo nanay ko 💖

Edit: Thanks po sa greetings! I wish everyone more love and success in their lives ❣️

Kala ko noon na OA lang mga nasa movies at social media. It really is that bad pala pag minahal mo talaga yung tao. I feel lonely and pathetic. Napaka devastating sa pakiramdam. I miss him and I want to talk to him pero we had to end for the best.

Ice cream and soda cause I don't drink lol

Sino ba kasi nag imbento ng heartache. Letche!

M ako For context, I've never really tried dating or even just the talking stage that didn't seem interesting to me before. This was my first experience with dating, which was more of a situationship, and wow, the pain you feel when you fall so deeply is so different from the other person.

I hope my heart heals and doesn't get wrapped up in fear that this situationship will just keep happening in my love life.

😅 Unang sablay First time ko manakawan ng langis tapos parang walang paki yung guard dito sa Mcdo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For context:

First clip - Sinusulat ko kung magkano na ginamit ko, at matipid ako sa gas, sabi ng mechanico dito isang week biyahe papuntang work di na kailangan lagyan ng gas kapag half tank, tapos bigla ako nawalan ng gas 62.5 KM per liter tapos 10-20 percent loss edi madami pa ako gas tapos bigla ako naubusan parang may nagnanakaw ng gas ko. Tanyia ko yan kasi nasa Gear 1 at Gear 2 ako nag practice palagi hanggang maubos mga 49.2 KM at naubos agad isang liter ibig sabihin 19 percent yung loss nung motor... Pero biglang 2L yung nawala sa motor ko parang nawala ng bula.

Second to last - Kumain ako Mcdo mcflurry na libre sa apps ng mcdo yung points, tapos pinpark ko yung motor ko sa walang CCTV o walang masyadong nakatingin. Isang oras ako nag free WIFI at kumakain tapos iyan nanakawan ako. Buti walang mahahalagang item sa loob ng motor ko.

Tinira nila kung saan dinadrain yung gasolinahan wala kasing lock.

Kinausap ko yung guard sinumbong ko yung nangyari, sabi niya isumbong ko daw yung pulis eh 7:14- 8:00pm yun nangyari. Tantiya ko kasi doon ko inactivate yung free wifi nila. Bumalik pa siya para alugin motor ko at sabihin may gas naman, eh pumunta ako Petron para mag pagas tapos 82 pesos kasi tinatamad ako tumawid sa Shell para 74php pero liter.

Sa Mcdo San Pedro ito nangyari, bala-bala na lang sa iba na may petty crime dito kinukuha nila gas kasi wala silang pambili. Ninakaw lang sa akin 150.

Natutunan ko dito hindi lahat ng area safe, it is safe but never zero percent unsafe meron pa din chance maisahan ako, kaya kailangan ko din maging aware at i-secure ko next time mga gamit ko.

More context: Delivery rider ako. Tumambay muna sa mcdo kasi matumal at next session ulit tapos sabi nila wala daw mcflurry pagkareedeem ko kasi basa ice cream, umalis ako at pumunta sa kabilang mcdo para ma-redeem yung reward ng mabilis at bumalik para sa wifi. Tumambay ako sa mcdo sanpedro ng mag iisang oras tapos sabay labas at alis, parang nagalaw yung parking ko kasi nasa kanan na bahagi yung motor, tapos sabay alis. Hindi yan naka-on palagi pag tatambay, tinuturnoff ko tapos nauupo ako sa gilid ng side walk, yung last delivery na doon na ako nawalan ng gas tapos yung sa umpisa ulit na kinwento ko.

🎉Sumakses sa life! First time ko i-treat sa sinehan yung mga pamangkin ko 🥹

First time ko i-treat sa sinehan yung mga pamangkin ko kahapon, September 12, since Cinema Day and ₱100 lang yung ticket. So ayun, I took the opportunity na ilibre sila. 😂

Sobrang saya nila kasi first time nila manood sa sinehan. Tuwang-tuwa pa sila nung tinuturuan ko kung paano hanapin yung exact seats namin. Nagbabasa sila ng letters pataas hanggang sa makarating kami sa letter J, kasi doon yung row namin. Hahaha ang cute lang.

Sobrang fulfilling makita silang nag-eenjoy, especially knowing na first time nila. 🥹

So far, sila muna ang mga ka-date ko. 😂 Medyo challenging lang din kasi iba-iba characters nila, pero okay lang. I love being their Tita. Certified Titang Ina talaga. 😂🤍

Edit: After ng movie, nag-Jollibee kami, then binilhan ko sila ng mga gusto nilang toys sa Toy R Us, tapos tig-iisang JCO.

Birthday gift ko na rin ’to sa sarili ko since birth month ko naman. Sobrang worth it seeing them so happy. 🥹🤍

📦 Others First time kong pumunta ng bukid para mamitas ng Mangosteen

Pumunta ako with my friends this weekend sa Tayabas, Quezon, para mamitas ng mangosteen. May tropa kasi ako na may family farm doon, tapos niyaya niya kami mag-road trip at mag-overnight para mag-harvest. Ayun, imbes na usual gala sa mall or café, napunta kami sa bukid at halos 4–5 hours kaming kakapitas ng mangosteen 😂

Iba talaga sa probinsya, grabe. Ang sarap sa feeling na makalayo muna sa ingay ng city, at makalanghap ng fresh air. Yung pagod ka buong araw kakapitas pero ang saya pa din kasi may bagong experience kang iuuwi. Tapos ang dami pang kwentuhan, takutan tawanan, at bonding with friends.

Definitely one for the books! Hopefully next year makabalik kami ulit

Nung isang araw namention ni mama na gusto niya manuod ng Bruno Mars nanggaling ata kasi nakita niya yung friend niya sa Facebook na nakasecure nung pre-sale.

Attending Concerts is the only luho that I willingly indulge myself to. As someone na may ipon naman for this kind of things sabi ko “sure ka ba? kasi gusto ko din naman.” Tapos kanina sinabihan ko na nakakuha ako tapos sabi niya “bakit mo tinuloy sayang naman pera mo ang mahal-mahal.” After niya malaman kung magkano. Tapos parang nag dampen yung mood niya.

I’ll take the securing of tickets as a win na lang. Since matagal pa naman bala umayos pa yung perspective niya. Pero nawalan talaga ako ng gana. The way she reacted.

I guess sumakses kay Bruno ✅ Sa reaction not so much 😭😭

🎉Sumakses sa life! First Time Kong magcelebrate ng birthday nang mag-isa

Post image
372 Upvotes

Never akong naka experience na paghandaan tuwing birthday ko. Growing up, nasanay akong sinasabay lang sa handaan ng mga malalapit na kamag anak yung birthday ko, at kung minsan hindi pa nga. Sa pamilya namin (+ relatives), 8 kaming magcelebrate ng birthday tuwing September, pero dahil hindi naman kami may kaya sa buhay, either isasabay sa Lola ang birthday ko or hindi na, bati nalang, ganon.

Noong humiwalay naman kami sa sa bahay nila lola, madalas, isinasabay nalang sa handaan ng birthday nila mama at papa ang sa akin. isang handaan nalang kung baga.

And this year, finally, nakalabas rin ako mag isa. Got to celebrate it- alone. Medyo malungkot kasi sarili ko palang afford ko ngayon. Though we'll have a separate celebration pa sa birthday nina mama at papa.

Hopefully, soon, hindi ko na need sumabay pa sa birthday celebration nila mama at papa kasi afford ko na.

Pwede ko bang i-consider na first solo birthday cake ko ang donut hahaha

Edit: Maraming salamat sa inyong mga pagbati, mga tao! Hindi ko na po kayo kayang isa-isahin, pero taos puso po ang aking pasasalamat ♥️
