Paano kung practice pala yun para sa mas malawakang gulo kapag may naging national decision na hindi pabor sa isa sa kanila (Bato, Bong Go, SWOH)?

They’ve been extending SO MUCH consideration to that international criminal in the Senate building. Sana ganito kahabang konsiderasyon din ang ginawad nila sa mga inakusahan noong may war on drugs.

At this point and with all these recent circuses we’ve seen, I wouldn’t put anything past them.

Nakakadismaya. Nakakagigil.

I have a relative, a breadwinner, who had a medical problem recently. May idea ako ng economic status nila and I know very well it’ll make a huge dent on their finances if he cannot go back to work immediately.

Yun wife ang sole moneymaker in the family right now.

I offered to help the 3 children with their monthly allowances: 2 high schools and 1 college, sa SLU lahat.

How much ba ang realistic allowances ng mga bata on these levels?

I have the ₱₱₱ figures in mind how much I should give each kid, but I’d like to make sure I’m giving enough (not too short and not excessive as well).

1. Nag-co-commute po ang mga bata (nasa ₱100-120 daw round trip per head).

2. They have money lang for baon, rarely daw makapagbaon ng food dahil di na makahanda ang mommy.

3. They all still live in the parents’ house.

4. The college one has classes 4x a week; the HS ones, 5x a week.

Please give me a ballpark figure. Thank you very much.

I used to go to Let’s Face It but they folded the nails area na dahil nag-OFW na daw yun mga nail techs nila.

I tried other salons naman there, ₱1100 yata binayad ko for the same services I got at LFI, wasn’t satisfied.

What’s your recommendation please?

I deleted my Facebook account a few years ago. Life has been so much quieter since.

The past few days, I found myself lurking around the web version in the hopes that I'd see updates on my new nephew because my sister likes to post about him.

Then one thing led to another, ( I just found out the public posts of an account on the web version is much more sparse ) and I stumbled upon accounts of ex-friends and former acquaintances, including those who've really earned my ire.

This made me realize that really, some things never change. I've been outside of these people's lives (as well as they are in mine) for more than a decade now and it feels being transported back to exactly how things were where I left off.

Warning moving forward, there'll be a lot of 'modesty aside' examples.

• Big deal pa rin sa kanila yun Starbucks?
• May nagpopost pa rin ng report cards ng mga anak, including personal details?
• Buying from Patchi chocolate kiosk is like talk of the town ...
• Nakabalandra yun bagong kuhang credit card and HMOs without blurring anything
• Sila pa rin mismo yun nag-a-announce ng achievements nila under the guise of, " I am honored to be this and that ... blah blah..."
• At may nagpopost pa rin ng picture ng visa talaga ?

I have to admit I've been living a totally different life for decades now and only, the difference is much more pronounced when I was reintroduced into this former space.

When I was younger, needless to say, much more stupid, I'd call them out many times, especially whenever they post their children's report cards. This only does more harm to the kids than good, but this is another story. And not very many people liked my guts so that's how I got frowned upon a lot.

I feel bad, but not so bad that I would want to reconnect with them. I walked away for a reason, and it's not even for myself. They've been abusing my husband and I financially, including their pastors. And everything else started from that.

In my present life since, at least in our circle of friends now, it's just so different. If you don't know how to properly read the room, you're up for the silent, personal embarrassment. And I still get this a lot.

But how many people know how to read the room really?
