Hi! I am Diane. It's my first time here on Reddit. Ginawa ko to para ishare yung nararamdaman ko.
I am an intro. Yep. Introvert. Bata pa lang ako mas gusto ko na nasa loob lang ako ng bahay nag babasa kesa sa labas na nag lalaro kasama ang ibang bata. Siguro dahil tampulan ako ng tukso dahil ako yung may pinaka batang edad sa klase pero ako yung pinaka matanda tignan. I really hate people. Lalo na yung mga ka age ko kasi napaka bully ng generation namin (Millenial Gen). Kaya ayun, lumaki din akong ayaw makipag friends. Ayokong masaktan.
Until, one day. Nagkaroon ako ng isang group of friends. Napaka close ng puso ko sa kanila kasi bata palang kami magkakasama na kami. Dun lang kami naging close talaga nung nag sisimula na kaming maging teens. Isang araw, may nangyari. Nilaglag nila ako. Nalaman ng pamilya ko yung kasalanang nagawa ko ( di naman crime yun, wag OA in love lang ako na di pa naman dapat ganoon ang dapat atupagin). Ilang taon din bago ko sila kinausap ulit at pinatawad. Kasi, oo nga naman. Kailangan na nila yung tulong ng family ko kasi di nila kaya yung pagka matigas ng ulo ko. Kahit na gets ko yung ginawa nila. Kahit ok naman na ang lahat nag iwan pa rin yun ng trauma sa akin. Natakot ako mag tiwala. Nagalit ako kasi pala simba siya pero bakit traydor?
Kaya nung nagkaroon ulit ako ng dalawa pang grupo ng tropa di na rin ako nag tiwala. Good choice din kasi plastic din naman yung iba. Na swerte lang ako sa isa ko pang group of friends kasi mga God fearing at good influence kaso dahil sa kurso at school na mag kakaiba halos hindi na kami nag kakausap.
I met another group of people. Yung times na takot na talaga ako ma attach ulit eh dumating sila sa life ko. As in, pinilit nila. Kahit umiiwas ako, dadayo sa bahay para makausap ako. Isasama ako palagi kahit ayaw ko. Isasama ako kahit walakompera. Akala ko totoo kasi bruh solid kami. Wala na ngang privacy. Account ng isa, account din ng lahat. Kita nga namin yung body parts na private kasi sabay nag bibihis. Tinanggap ko sila kasi yung dalawa sa tropa kong iyon mga pala simba, mga God fearing, mga active youth, mga active servant sa music department. Hinayaan ko sila na maging parte ng buhay ko kasi sabi ko sa sarili ko. Baka kailangan ko ng friends na may mabubuting ugali, may mabubuting backgrounds, may good names para naman mahila din sa mabangong side yung pangalan ko na andaming issues at para din mapabuti ako kasi nga pariwara ako at lugmok na lugmok na din sa buhay.
Kasama ko sila sa halos lahat. Kahit nga Sabado at Linggo sila pa rin kasama ko. Naging close sila sa akin at sobrang naging close ako sa kanila. Solid na solid yung bond. Proud na proud ako kasi yung isa anak ng negosyante, yung isa ganun din active pa sa church at napaka talented, yung isa anak ng politician, yung isa guitarist sa isang banda, yung isa napaka bait ng parents, habang yung isa tropa ng partner ko. Iba yung pride na nararamdaman ko kasi hindi basta basta sila. Di din naman ako mag papahuli shala shala din work ng parents ko saka meron din akong itsura at talent.
Di ko talaga inasahan na isang araw. Habang kasama ko silang nag lalakad sa daan meron akong nakitang vision. Vision at gut feeling na merong mangyayari na ikakasira namin.
March 5 dumating yung grad gift nang dad ko na bagong phone. Hiraman silang lahat pang selfie. March 13 nagkaroon kami ng final requirement and phone ko yung ginamit kasi yun yung malaki ang storage tapos maganda ang cam. Doon ako naka notice ng mali. Ako yung may ari nung phone pero halos di ko magamit. Hihiramin ko sana pang contact sa mama ko na ipasundo ako pero di ko nagawa kasi lowbat. Nalowbat kakaselfie at kakavideo nung friend ko pero di naman connected sa activity namin. Na discover ko rin na phone ko yung gamit pero deleted lahat yung caught scenes ko kaya wala akong ibang part kundi sa katapusan lang ng activity namin. Kaya kahit basang sisiw ako, bumyahe ako mag isa. Nag hanap ako ng paraan para makauwi. Wala akong contact. Gladly, nakauwi ako ng safe.
After that, tinapos ko yung group thesis. Kasama ko pa rin sila pero wala akong natanggap ni isang tulong. Lahat ng binigay kong parts sa kanila di nila ginawa. Ang pinaka masakit? Sabi nila tutulungan nila akong tumapos nun. Nag agree ang lahat na mag overnight sa bahay para tapusin yung revision ng thesis. Walang pumunta. Sabi nung isa nagka sakit siya, sabi nung isa di siya pinayagan, sabi nung isa busy siya. Maunawain ako kaya ako na gumawa kasi sabi ko maniningil na lang ako. Chinat ko yung prof para ma address yung problema ko na baka di ako maka pasa on time at maka pag defend kasi ako lang mag isa gumagawa. Nag worry din kasi ako. Grades ko din naman yung nakasalalay. Nag ask si ma'am kung nasan mga kasama ko tapos sabi kong "Ma'am palaging may rason eh ayokong mamilit". Sabi ni ma'am sabihan ko daw na alisin ko o sila ang mag defend. Kaya sinunod ko. Nag end up bilang isang palpak na project yung thesis na yun. Nalaman ko pa na ni isa sa mga palusot nila walang totoo. Lumabas pala sila tapos ang paalam nila sa mga pamilya nila ay matutulog sila sa bahay kasi tatapusin yung dapat namin natatapusin para makapag graduate kami. Nasisi ako ni friend kong pala simba. Sabi pa niya "kapag kasi sinabing gumawa, wag unahin ang jowa yan tuloy palpak kami pa napahiya". Takang taka ako kasi siya yung palaging may kasamang lalake, hindi naman ako. Sa amin lahat ako yung di masyado nakakasama ang jowa. Bakit ako yung nasisi? Bakit parang kasalanan ko?
Nasaktan ako ng sobra doon. Sinabi ko sa isang tropa ko yung nararamdaman ko pero yung sagot niya lang "hayaan mo na lang ganoon lang talaga yun". Mas lalo akong nasaktan. Umuwi akong umiiyak. Nag wala ako sa bahay. Kasi sobrang sakit. Lahat sila pinag ba block ko. Gusto ko silang icut off lahat.
Umalis ako sa gc, sa lahat ng gc na kasama sila. Na open ko yung account ng jowa ko at nakita ko na kasama pa pala siya sa gc namin. Nakita ko yung pinag chachat nung God fearing servant of the Lord ko na friend na babae.
Di ko malilimutan yung mga sinabi niya sa akin pati yung iba kong tropa. Pinag usapan ako sa oras na nag leave ako sa gc.
Sabi pa ni God fearing friend "say present kung na block na kayo ni Dee!".
Until naka basa ako ng mga words galing doon sa tropa kong isa , yung tropa na sinabihan ko ng nangyari pero sabi niya hayaan ko na lang daw? Sabi niya "Diba close si ni Yanii bakit pinaparinggan siya ni Yanii sa fb?"
Sabi pa ni God fearing friend ko "Sama kasi ng ugali!"
As far as I can remember sila yung nag sabi sa akin na wag na naming tropahin yung si Yanii kasi lahing chismosa at pakialamera di pa nakaka sama sa mga gala kasi strikto ang pamilya.
Pero ang ginawa nila sinumbong nila ako kay Yanii na ako daw may pakana ng lahat. Ako daw yung rason bakit tampulan ng chismis si Yanii at pamilya niya kahit di naman ako. Lahat naman sila may fair contribution sa nangyari kay Yanii.
Lahat ng naging topic namin sa inuman nag post din tungkol sa akin. Bakit? Kasi si God fearing friend pinag chachat sila isa isa. Ako lang yung sinumbong kahit meron din silang fair share sa chismis.
Kahit yung relasyon ko sa jowa ko sinubukan niya ring sirain. The moment na napuno yung jowa ko sa ginagawa niya sa akin kahit mahirap mag byahe talaga kinumpronta niya si God fearing friend na yun. Sabi pa ni God fearing friend "iwan mo na yan ilang beses na yan na buntis at nag palaglag doon sa baranggay kuan". Saksi ang buhay na Diyos sa langit na di yun totoo kasi alam niya kung gaano ko kagusto maging mommy sa mga anak ko someday.
Kung nag tataka kayo bakit God fearing at nakaka proud kasama yung mga tropa ko tapos may inuman at galaan?
Yun na nga! Na shock din ako kasi buong buhay ko bilang isang Kristiyano ngayon lang ako naka saksi ng mga God fearing and servant of The Lord once a week tapos nasa tagayan at galaan naman kapag di araw ng pag simba. Di ko sila iniwan, tinanggap ko sila. Sinubukan ko maging mature para sabay kaming mapunta sa tamang landas para maging okay yung future namin pero sa huli na misinterpret ni God fearing servant of the Lord yung ginagawa ko at nahikayat niya buong tropa namin na e hate ako kasi hindi ako supportive at napaka kontrabida ko raw na kaibigan kaya ang sama daw ng ugali ko. Lahat ng naging advice ko binalik sa akin at pinipilosopo ni God fearing and servant of the Lord na friend ko yung mga opinyon niya. Talagang pinagtulungan nila ako. Pinag tulungang laitin at siraan.
Sinabihan pa ako nung isang God fearing na servant of the Lord din na friend ko "Wag kang mag popost ng tungkol sa God tapos di mo ma apply sa sarili mo". Grabi yung sakit kasi kahit sila na halos tumira sa simbahan may sideline din sa inuman at adik sa fornication wala naman akong sinabi sa kanila kahit tadtad sila ng bible verses sa social media.
Grabi yung pinag daanan kong depression. Nagka PCOS din ako. Nagkaroon ng sakit sa kidney at atay kakatagay kasama nila. Habang sila patuloy sa pangungutya sa akin sa messenger tapos pinopost sa social media na sila daw yung kinakawawa ko, sinisiraan ko daw.
Tapos kapag titignan mo yung accounts nila habang ginagawa nila yung mga kabulastugan nila sa akin?
Puro positive quotes, puro bible verses, puro videos at picture na kumakanta at nag paparticipate sa Church activites.
Nung sinubukan kong ipagtanggol sarili ko sa maayos na paraan pero mas lalo akong napahiya. Pinost kumpletong pangalan pati pag mumukha ko tapos ako yung ipapabaranggay. Kasi ang main reason niya natatamaan daw sa posts ko. Pinapahiya daw kasi sila at sinisiraan. Yung posts ko puro rants naka lagay pa sa dump account tapos mga friends ko lang nakakakita. Sinali ko sila doon kasi akala ko ayos na kami kasi nag sorry naman na sila tapos biglang makikipag away kasi natatamaan daw sa posts ko, ang sama daw nung ugali ko. Nag wish lang naman ako na dapat mag mature na siya, awat na sa pag papavictim at pag vivictim blaming sa social media kasi malapit na siyang mag 30. Nagalit yung God fearing servant of the Lord ko na friend.
Nung nag try akong mag reason out sinabihan lang ako na sila, siya daw talaga yun. Kahit hindi naman. Hamakin mo kahit rants ko tungkol sa other friends ko, sa ibang classmates ko, sa jowa kahit na sa kapatid ko pinipilit niyang siya daw yung pinapahiya. Kaya sabi ko "kaya blinock kita agad noon eh kasi ayaw mo makinig at gusto mo makipag debate palagi para ma prove na ikaw yung tama.
Ayaw ko lang mag share sa kanila ng full details kasi may history na sila lalo na si Ate Girl na God fearing servant of the Lord na friend ko. History sa pag papakalat ng maling balita para maging mabango sila sa kapwa nila habang sirang sira naman yung hate nila. Kaya dahil doon, nag duda siya na sila daw yung pinapahiya ko hanggang sa every post ko inaabsorb niya.
Nagkaroon ako ng trust issues sa mga taong God fearing tignan sa social media. Umiiwas talaga ako sa mga taong grabi ka linis tignan yung socmed at sobrang bango nung name sa ibang tao.
Nag tanim ako ng galit sa mga Godly youths.
Pinayuhan ako ni mommy na dapat wag ganoon. Focus kay Lord, wag sa tao. Wag daw sana maapektuhan yung faith ko dahil sa ginawa ng mga taong simbahan sa akin. Tao lang din naman daw sila at nag kakamali. Nag sisimba sila kasi mas kailangan nilang mapalapit sa Lord para matama yung landas nila.
Sabi ko "Bakit ganoon? Bakit ako yung kailangang mag tiis para sa spiritual growth nila? Ano yan gagamiting excuse ang pagmamahal nang Ama para paulit ulit manakit sa akin? Kesyo alam nilang papatawarin sila sa mga ginagawa nila sa akin kasi mahal sila nang Lord. Kung nalilito at naliliko ang landas nila bilang isang Kristiyano, bakit ako yung kailangan maapektuhan? Bakit ako yung kailangan saktan paulit ulit para malaman nilang di tama yung ginagawa nila? Pala simba? Active servant ni Lord? Pala basa ng Bible? Bakit di magawa yung tama? Kasi ba tao sila tulad ng iba? Parang walang pinagkaiba sa taong hindi mananampalataya ah! Bakit mukhang walang alam? Kasi kung merong alam dapat hindi ginagawa ang bawal! Strikto ang church nila, lahat ng nasa bible sinusunod, nakikipag debate sa faith ng iba kasi tama daw yung sa kanila, ayaw kumain ng baboy at shellfish kasi takot mag kasala pero yung bibig kahit anong masasama at masasakit na salita ang lumalabas! Bakit ganoon?"
Sobrang sakit. Habang tinitipa ko bawat letra sa babasahin na ito. Nanunumbalik yung sakit. Hanggang ngayon hindi kami ayos.
Sobrang sakit kasi tinuring ko siya, sila na kadugo habang yung turing sa akin gamit lang na pwedeng itapon kapag di na kailangan.
Palasimba? Nag aaral sa Christian school? Bakit yung ugali parang di lang basta taong naliligaw ng landas? Mukhang isang takas sa mental eh. Normal pa na tawaging naliligaw ng landas yung taong alam niyang siya yung nagkamali at naka sakit pero yung sinasabi sa ibang tao ay sila yung nasaktan at ginawan ng mali? Yung di naman malaki yung gulo sana pero sinubukan mong imanipulate ang lahat para di ka layuan at pandirian kapag lumabas yung tunay mong ginawa at ugali! Alam niya talagang mali yung kasalanan pero paulit ulit ginagawa kasi doon siya masaya kahit pa maka sakit pa ng iba! Ugali ba ng God fearing yung mag bibitaw ng mga salita sa kapwa na "Kailangan ko tong gawin para meron akong peace of mind! Yang peace of mind mo wala akong pake! Kung gusto mo kamutin mo utak mo para gumaling!".
Tapos alam ng lahat na ganyan yung ginawa niya sa akin kahit anong buti ko sa kaniya, sa kanilang lahat. Kahit sobrang sama ang bango bango pa rin niya sa ilong ng mga tao. Mahal pa rin siya kahit napatunayan niya yung ugali niya samantalang ako na nasaktan at nag sabi lang kung ano yung naramdaman ko, ako yung nilayuan at pinangdirian.
Pero yung gusto ko pa rin ay healing
Tanggap ko naman na
Tanggap kong may mga taong ayaw tumanggap ng mali, ipipilit na sila yung tama. Hindi ko na mababago yun.
Gusto ko lang malimutan siya pati yung parte ng memorya ko na kasama ko siya at ang iba pa.
Wala eh. Mahal ko pa rin. Kahit na maraming trauma at maraming maling paniniwala ang pumasok sa utak ko dahil sa mga nangyari.
Sa huli, ang Panginoon pa rin ang nakaka alam ng tama at ipapasakanya ko na lang ang pang huhusga.
Bago ako mag tapos gusto ko lang sabihin na wala akong siniraan kasi kung meron baka nag mention na ako ng real name. Base ito lahat sa pinaka mabigat na pinag dadaanan ko.
Mensahi para sa kanila: Mahal ko kayo. Susubukan kong kalimutan yung parteng masakit sa pinag samahan natin. Kahit hindi totoo yung pag hihingi niyo ng tawad sa akin noon. Gusto ko lang sabihin na alam ko lahat ng ginawa niyo aminin niyo man o hindi pero pinili kong manahimik kahit minsan niyong hiniling yung kamatayan ko. Mahal ko kayo. Kasi kung hindi sana ay sinampahan ko kayo ng kaso nung may isa sa inyo na nag bigay ng death threat sa akin at sa mga mahal ko sa buhay. Iniisip ko na baka ginawa ko yun masira kinabukasan niyo at ayokong mangyari yun. Ito yung huling sakripisyo ko sa samahan natin. Hindi ko ilalabas lahat ng proweba ng ginagawa niyo para masira ako kahit pa araw araw akong pinag tatawanan dahil sa mga posts niyo tungkol sa akin. Sana masaya kayo sa ginagawa niyo sa akin. Salamat pala sa friendship at lessons na iniwan niyo. Hinding hindi ko yun malilimutan.

Untuk yang pernah punya pengalaman atau cerita pernikahan etnis tionghoa, boleh info besaran uang susu dan tepai itu berapa ya 🤣🤣🤣
Jd adik aku mau nikah, tapi ini pernikahan pertama dikeluarga. And we confused how much "uang susu" should be given to pihak perempuan, krn ga ada pengalaman. Bokap nyokap (anak tunggal dua duanya) dulu ga pake acara uang susu uang susu soalnya.
Ive already asked some of my friends but some of them ga pake uang susu, dan yang lain cuma jawab "besaran tiap org beda2" but from my family we would like to appreciate the girl's family appropriately, tp kadang takut angkanya kekecilan.
Kita bukan dr upper class sih, dan calonnya juga bukan dr upper class, tengah2 aja. Jd kita bingung angka2nya dan adik aku ga enak nnya calonnya
Terima kasih sblmnyaa 🙏🙏🙏

Reddit itu cara mainnya seperti apa ya? Bercerita atau bagaimana menurut kalian pengguna app yang sudah lama?
Karena saya masih baru disini dan melihat cerita orang seru-seru dan ya saya suka membacanya.
Tikok untuk melihat video lucu but the comment bisa dibilang sudah bisa tercemar gitu, F untuk mencari informasi tapi kebanyakan bapak-bapak main burung, then g sekarang yang paling better, twiter sangat frontal tapi bisa juga menjadi tempat berkeluh kesah untuk diri sendiri. setelah ketemu reddit seperti balik ke dimana sosial media masih natural dan no gimmick tempat berkeluh kesah dan bertanya paket kumplit.
Terimakasih untuk pengalaman baru dan saya merasa bernostalgia.

What's shared in reddit, should stay in reddit. Sana hindi makalabas sa kahit anong SNS.
I am feeling distressed. Actually I don't know what to feel right now. Halo halo. I just woke up feeling super sad, super empty. Drama. Like I wanted to cry for no reason then andaming pumasok sa isip ko.
I was just reading a story here in this sub about their circle of friends at ang dami kong narealize, or probably I already know but I'm just not paying attention to it.
I (25F) had a circle of friends that I've been with since childhood. A (26M), B (26M), C (26F) and D (25F) are my somehow distant relatives and we grew up being friends and classmates together from elem to highschool. Daming away bata, pero at the end of the day, solid pa din kami.
Kahit nung magstop ako sa uni at magtrabaho at the age of 18, they never stopped being my friends. I remember na C and D were with me when I first applied for a job as a call center agent. I don't know the BPO industry. I know nothing about it, but I am proficient with the English language kahit noong elementarya pa lang, so when a headhunter asked me if I'm interested, I said yes. Actually kahit anong job lang talaga ina-apply-an ko. Nung time na yon, kahit sales lady lang. Ang pera namin at most 2h to 3h lang. D had 3h and both C and I only have around 2h. We went there at 11 AM and went home around 3 AM the next day at natanggap naman ako.
We only ate once around lunch time pa. Hahaha! Sabi ko pa sa kanila around 5 PM, mauna na sila umuwi, kaya ko na. Pero hindi nila ako iniwan kasi alam nila yung problem sa bahay at na kailangan ko sobra ang trabaho. Ang pameryenda lang samin ng company is one cup noodles at biscuit tapos water from water dispenser. Hindi ko kinain, binigay ko sa kanila kasi candy na lang kinakain nila nung time na yon. Ayaw pa nila tanggapin, kaso sabi ko nakakain na ako, to which is hindi pa naman. Sobra lang akong nahihiya at naaawa sa kanila. Tapos while waiting sa result ng interview, around 2 AM, nagkausap pa kami na "may takeout kami kanina na tirang chicken sa mang inasal diba? Kinain namin sa cr." Tapos tawanan kami kasi bakit sa cr? Nahihiya daw sila doon sa company kumain kasi maamoy. Noong time na yon, tawa lang kami ng tawa. But now, looking back, while I sacrifice my chance to go to school, they also sacrifice their time and patience para makakuha ako ng trabaho. I was very very grateful sa kanilang dalawa, until now. Tanda ko pa din na nangako akong sa unang sahod ko, treat ko sila, but hindi ko s'ya nagawa agad. It was a few months after pa kasi sobrang daming gastos sa bahay at hindi ko naman nahahawakan ang pera at ang ATM ko to be honest. Pero nabibigyan naman ako ng sapat na baon at pera pangpasok ulit sa work. I had no qualms or misgivings about it. Happy ako makatulong sa bahay.
That time, C and D are in college (they went to different university). C went to a state uni taking financial management while D, who's a bit well off, went to an expensive uni taking customs administration hehe. Me? I was working. For the first year, almost ever weekend kasama sina A and B, na ibang uni din pinapasukan since A chose to go to a uni in a different province to be a policeman, B chose a marine university to be a seafarer, kumakain kami sa labas. Not expensive. Lomi lang. Hahaha! I remember ang dami naming napuntahan na places nearby sa barangay lang namin ha, na lomian talaga. Sometimes ako yung nalilibre kahit ako yung may trabaho which I super duper appreciate talaga.
Since we all went different ways, may mga friendships na mabubuo sila sa college at ako naman sa work. However, I'm the type of person na aakalain mong extrovert kasi I can talk to everyone happily pero I can never open up about a lot of things. Parang I build walls? Na recently ko lang narealize. Around second year of working, we slowly became busy. Sobrang dami nilang school works, at ang daming projects, papers, etc.
(Medyo magulo but I already took two years in college kaso I stopped so at this point, they were all in their third yr to fourth yr in college.)
I realized na we're slowly losing our weekends getaway, papunta sa nawawalan na din kami ng time magreach out sa isa't isa. Then, I noticed that whenever I want to tag them sa memes sa FB or send them memes thru messenger, may iba na silang tinatag or may ibang nagsshare na sa kanila. Especially with C and D.
I remember, I think this was back in 2021. I saw a post about a trio that I can super relate that's about us. Pero nung makita ko yung post, si D pala ang nagshare tapos tagged ang dalawa sa friends n'ya sa college. Understand ko ha, it's just that I can't help but be jealous like, hindi ba ako ang naaalala n'yo sa ganito? Hahaha. Idk. That's so petty of me.
Then, starting from there, I noticed everything I don't want to. It was that I was the only one tagging them sa memes, reaching out and saying "kamusta?" on our GCs. Sending funny videos and memes. They never did that to me. Even until now. Nagsesend pa din ako ng kung ano ano sa "patay" naming GC. Hahaha. Because I still treat them as my main group of friends, even if they don't think the same about me,, although tatlo na lang kami sa GC since may asawa na pareho sina A and B and we don't want their wives to feel jealous about the things we talk about kasi alam n'yo naman siguro, na altho walang malisya, may napapagusapan pa din kaming naught things sa GC namin, so we created a new one na tatlo lang kami.
Right now, I really really felt sad.
Nakagraduate na din naman ako last year although two year course lang, but until now, I don't have the motivation to work. Parang naburnout ako? I want to look for a job, kaso I don't know how to start, and no, I'm not soliciting advises kasi I know how to start, but like I don't have a motivation or something. Magulo? Hahaha. Super. Pati utak ko.
Although, job hopper ako before I went back to school, I started working when I was 18 and it lasted until I was 23. Kahit madalas na sinasabi sakin na, "mas madami nagagastos mo at napapapunta sa'yo kaysa sinusulit mo sa bahay", I felt like I was really really burnout. Like ayokong kumilos, ayokong maligo, ayokong kumain. Tulog nga lang ako ng tulog, kaya taba ako ng taba. Hahahaha. Kain tulog cellphone lang ako. Palamunin. Like a money sucking bitch. Hahahaha.
Adik nga ako ngayon sa pagbabasa ng manhwa, and reading things unrealistically like rebirth wishing for it to be true. Sobrang lagi kong naiisip, can I go back to when I was 17? Before my father was diagnosed with cancer, before he died, before I started working and before being forced to grow up?
I don't know. Siguro kung mababasa to ng mga kapatid ko or ng nanay ko, iiyak sila tapos ako pa ang masusumbatan. Like "hindi naman kita pinilit magtrabaho, gusto kitang makatapos din agad. Pinipilit kitang magaral." That's true. Most of it was my fault, totoo namang pinilit ni nanay na wag ako magquit ng school, since madami scholarships na mapapasukan, kaso yung araw araw na gastos? Baon, pamasahe, pagkain, school projects, libro? I remember pa sabi ng kuya ko, ang luho ko kasi. Mayabang kasi ako. Akala mo anak mayaman. I'm not. Sobrang takaw ko lang talaga. Pero may tama din s'ya. Hahahaha. Kasi I've never really realized na mahirap kami. My mother? Naglalabada or nangangatulungan at times. My father? Driver. Kulang na kulang sa pamilya namin tapos kung makabili ako ng softdrinks at chichiriya dati, kala mo nga naman anak mayaman.
Ahh. You know, recently like a year ago? ko narealize yung implication ng isa sa mga sitwasyon namin sa bahay. Siguro under 10 years old ako noon. Lima kami sa bahay. Kumakain, ang sampung pisong tuyo, may apat na piraso. Ang ulam namin, sabaw ng kape at tagiisang tuyo. "Bakit kape lang sa'yo, tay?" "Ulo ng tuyo ang paborito ko, akin na kung ayaw n'yo." Naiiyak ako ngayon kasi naalala ko, hindi naman sa paborito n'ya ang ulo ng tuyo kung hindi kulang sa aming lima ang apat na piraso kaya ulo lang nakakain n'ya.
I missed tatay ah. Grabe. Hahahaha. Kung siguro, hindi s'ya maaga namatay, kahit papaano, mapapatikim namin s'ya ng maayos na buhay. Ng mamatay s'ya, we're almost there eh. Kakatapos lang ni Kuya ng college at sasakay na s'ya ng barko in a few months, nagttake lang ng boarding exam.
2017 was the worst yr we've had. He was diagnosed with cancer early June. Hospitalized for 20 days in a private hospital with a total bill amounting to more than half a million. Saan kami kumuha ng pera? Utang lahat. Hahaha! His sss and company helped. The medical card he have, helped too. He was told that he'll have at most three months to live, so he was discharged. On my birthday. But he died exactly 3 months after, with only a week before my sister's 18th birthday. I remember sabi ng tatay sa bunso namin, "ano gusto mong pagkain? Anong gusto mong handa? Dalaga na bunso namin." And she answered kahit ano. We never thought na mahahandaan nga n'ya ang bunso namin. Tumapat ng siyaman ang birthday n'ya. Bilang kagustuhan din n'ya na maipaghanda ang bunso namin, nagpacater kami kahit wala din naman kaming pera. But that celebration wasn't really for my sister's birthday, para talaga sa tatay yon. We're all mourning and grieving, but we don't have time to. Ang dami naming utang. Nabaon kami.
But years later, heto na kami. Nakabayad na ng utang, with a special help from my brother. Nakapagpaayos ng bahay. Hindi na putik ang natutungtungan namin, hindi na kami binabaha sa loob pag umuulan, hindi na pumapatak ang tubig sa mga butas sa bubong. Hindi na namin kailangang magising ng disoras ng gabi dahil nabasa ang hinihigaan namin. May kanya kanya na kaming kwarto, kung dati pangarap namin ang may pintura sa bahay, pati kwarto meron na din. May TV na kami at hindi na kailangan pukpukin para magkatao or dumayo sa kapitbahay tapos pagsasarhan ng bintana, may ref na kami at hindi na kailangang magpahabilin ng hotdog. Ang electric fan namin na hindi umiikot at iisa lang, ngayon sa sobrang dami, hindi nagagamit lahat. Hindi naman kami yumaman, pero ngayon, afford na namin yung mga bagay na hindi namin akalaing magkakaroon din kami.
A lot of things happened in the span of those years from when I was 17, 18 to now that I'm 25.
And now, my brother has his own family. He's a seafarer and is married to a very very nice and kind hearted teacher. May baby na sila. My younger sister is an engineer working for a reputable company. Ako? Nakatapos din ako ng hospitality management. Kuya ko nagpaaral sakin. Kasi napangako n'ya yon nung mamatay si tatay. Sobrang thankful ako. Pero to be honest, I don't really want to go back to school. But I was happy I did.
Lahat ng kasabayan ko, graduate na, may magagandang trabaho tapos ako, "ay call center ka lang?". Itinatawa ko lang. Hahahaha.
I don't know what I'm even saying here kasi sobrang halo halo na. Hahahaha. Sorry. I just want an outlet din or a release. I don't think I'm depressed. I also don't think I'm suicidal although the thoughts came in mind every now and then to which is almost everyday. Hahahaha. But I will not act on it.
It's just that it just felt like at some point, I was robbed of my time. I can't say that I was robbed of my childhood kasi di naman na ako bata. Hahahaha! Kind of like it felt like I was forced to grow up.
Please, don't think too badly of me. Okay lang mga 90%, pero sana may 10% na nagegets ako. Parang ang dami kong gustong sabihin, pero wala na akong maitype. Hahaha! I don't know what's the point of this pero I felt like I was able to breathe kahit papaano. It's like telling things to a stranger that I will never meet. Thank you for reading although it's very confusing and is not organized. Hahaha
It was all my fault. It was all my choice that lead me up here, that lead me to where I am now.
I'm almost 26 at wala pa akong nararating sa buhay. I've tried and I'm tired. Pagod na ako.

Before I pulled the trigger I wanted to get some feedback from the experts here...
I main LBG. I finally have my first weapon ready to level up to 8, the Tobi Lightning Blitz. As a solo player, getting the Zin LBG to any respectable level just will never happen, so I am committed to Tobi.
That said, I am not sure this is the best use of the only (4) WGS I have, since I know I will have to farm a LOT to get more WGS. Right now Pukie, Jyura, Rathian, Rathlos, and Devil are the only monsters weak to lightning. And Jyura and Devil are rare, so that leaves only (3) viable monsters to use my strongest weapon to farm. And I don't feel I see that many Rathian or Rathlos.
If instead I held onto my WGS and upgraded my Rath LBG to 8 (it's only at 6.2), then I have Jagras, Barroth, Paolu, Legi, Banbaro, and Barioth. (4) of those are extremely common to see, Legi is rare, Barrioth is on vacation. But this group seems much more viable to farm from.
My Jyura LBG is 6.6 and my Legi LBG is 7.2. Because Jyura and Legi are relatively rare, I don't think it's viable to wait to for them as my first.
And of course, the upcoming event will focus on lightning weapons, which brings me back to upgrading my Tobi LBG.
I am probably overthinking the hell out of this...

Cerita nya gini aku pribadi lagi mau Deket sama seseorang yang dulunya temen satu kampus kita udah saling kenal satu sama lain sampe sering juga diajak main kerumah dia ataupun main bareng keluar bareng nah permasalahannya selama ±3thn ini hubungan kita tuh gak jelas ntah Itu kita cuma temenan atau ngga nih,

Kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab
- Sila kedua Pancasila

The world’s eyes are currently on Gaza right now, and for VERY good reasons. After Hamas’s October 7th attack, Israel has razed the entirety of Gaza to the ground with missile strikes, in addition to the deliberate starvation of the population in Gaza of any kind of aid like food, water, fuel, and medicine as collective punishment. Many, and I mean many, war crimes have been documented being committed by the IDF including massacres of innocent civilians, rape, and torture. Israeli officials, soldiers, and segments of the public have been astonishingly clear that they want to ethnically cleanse Gaza of all Palestinians. It’s fully obvious right now that what’s happening in Gaza is a genocidal campaign being committed by the Israeli government with the full backing and funding of the US as well as parts of the Western World.
Some of you may see where I’m going with this, but I think it’s important for me to lay out an example that I’m sure most of you can see is pretty morally unjustifiable and use it to make analogies with what I’m gonna talk about, implicitly or otherwise.
As I’m sure most of you are aware by now, there’s been some recent discourse around the circulation of two video recordings that recently went viral on Indonesian social media where it showed a group of TNI soldiers torturing a Papuan man known as Definaus Kogoya inside a barrel filled with water that was contaminated with his blood. One of the videos shows the soldiers punching, kicking, and beating him in the head, while the other shows someone cutting him with a knife. The soldiers themselves recorded this.
The backlash against the TNI because of the video was so bad that the military had to apologize, investigating 42 soldiers and arresting 13 among them that were suspected of being involved in the torture. The TNI accused the man in the video of being a KKB member who was planning to commit arson, but there’s no evidence of this provided, with members of the man’s family claiming he was just fixing his roof along with another friend of his, Alianus Mirok, when TNI soldiers captured them.
After they were handed over to the police, they were released soon afterwards due to there being a lack of evidence against them. After Defianus was already tortured.
There are also some articles that state that Defianus died from his injuries, which if true would make this whole situation extra fucked.
However, this is far from the only incident of torture that has been committed by the TNI. In February of 2020, a civilian named Jusni was tortured to death by a group of 11 soldiers, with most of the perpetrators only getting 9 to 11 months in prison, and only 2 received a sentence of more than a year as well as getting fired.
Even more recently as I was making this, there was a recent article reporting on how TNI soldiers tortured a journalist in Northern Maluku for reporting on the TNI seizing a ship with minyak tanah and threatened to kill him unless he signed a deal where he promised to stop reporting on their activities and quit being a journalist.
The TNI always had a pattern of behaviour when it comes to this, with there having been 431 cases of torture in Papua by apparatuses happening all the way back from 1963 up until 2010, with only 2 having been committed against pro-independence militants, the rest of them being civilians. Of these cases, 65% of them were committed by the military, 34% by the police, and 1% by separatist militants.
Why was there such a high amount of torture by the military against civilians? Aside from the soldiers having a power complex over other people and for the most part feeling immunity from any kind of punishment, there’s another important reason, racism.

Sangat sulit (mengidentifikasi) karena mukanya hampir sama. Mereka brewok
- Mayjen Izak Pangemanan, Commander of the Cenderawasih Military Area Command, when asked by the press why the military had a hard time distinguishing between civilians and militants.

So, to be clear, because TNI soldiers were incapable of telling the difference between a regular civilian and a separatist militant, they captured civilians who weren’t even involved with the militants in the first place and since they were free to do whatever they want, tortured them. Apparently, this problem is so bad that Papuan men have a term for it, musa (muka sama) because they’re afraid that they’ll be mistakenly captured as being a part of the TPNBP and tortured by TNI soldiers.
Now, with the recent discourse surrounding the use of torture by the TNI in Papua, there’s been some comments by people I’m gonna refer to as “ultranationalists” that try to justify or defend what the TNI soldiers had done in Papua. Some of them are current soldiers that say that because TNI soldiers and POLRI men have been killed by TPNPB members, that they shouldn’t be held accountable for their actions. Then there are your netizens that will basically defend everything the military does and say that the people criticizing them are unpatriotic western bootlickers who should go to Papua themselves if they care so much about HAM.
To put this one straight, I strongly disagree with these deflections, I think they’re war crime apologias and I’m gonna spend the rest of my post arguing against them.
And just to be extra clear, when I say “war crimes,” to my understanding it means violations of international law (including torture) that are committed during an armed conflict, at least from what I read from the UN.
There are 2 main arguments I want to make for this case, the first are the political arguments and the second are the moral arguments.
Political Arguments
If we’re looking exclusively from a realpolitik perspective where the main goal is the integrity of the current borders of NKRI, then what happened in Papua, and most likely continuing to happen, is a fucking optical disaster, and undermines that goal entirely.
In Papua itself, stuff like this would radicalize the fuck out of your average Papuan person, imagine if you found out that a family member of yours was tortured by TNI soldiers and the perpetrators went scot-free, of course you would be fucking livid. It further erodes trust in the institutions of the state and galvanizes the pro-independence movement, as chances are they’ll either join one of the civilian pro-independence organizations, or if they’re in the more rural and mountainous areas take up arms with the TPNPB. TPNPB members don’t just come out of nowhere.
We’ve seen this phenomenon played out countless times already, torturing or oppressing a group of people with the aim to instil fear in a population and subdue them usually leads to the opposite effect. As an example, not long after Oct 7, support for Hamas, which advocates for armed resistance, has increased among Palestinians in both Gaza and the West Bank due to Israel’s incessant bombing of Gaza as well as increasing violence with Ultra-Orthodox settlers in the West Bank, while support for the Palestinian Authority has plummeted to the ground.
Internationally, it hurts Indonesia’s credibility on the world stage, turning public opinion against Indonesia’s handling of Papua. People often forget that one of the reasons why Western governments decided to no longer back Indonesia’s occupation of East Timor (may Henry Kissinger burn in hell) was because of the Santa Cruz massacre, in which Indonesian soldiers gunned down unarmed protesters that killed about at least 250 civilians, with footage of the massacre causing international outcry as well as pressure on Western governments to cut their support for Indonesia, similar to what we’re seeing in Gaza right now.
If your goal IS the integrity of the current Indonesian borders, then you should scream out of the top of your lungs to say that shit like this is unacceptable, because this just leads to the opposite effect.
Moral Arguments
As far as moral arguments go, it essentially boils down to this, torture is morally bad, no exceptions.
For one, torture has terrible effects on the victim. Physically, it can lead to chronic pain, brain damage, hearing and vision loss, cardiovascular and respiratory problems, and physical scars. It also psychologically traumatizes the victim, causing them to have depression, PTSD, sleep deprivation, and in the case of stripping the victim naked, strips them of their identity and causes shame.
Two, torture also affects society at large, as the use of torture can lead to its continued and increased use. If soldiers are allowed to torture someone without any consequences, that leads to the entire military feeling that they can get away with it, leading to more cases like Defianus.
The military should not have leeway when it comes to using extrajudicial punishments, as there’s the rule of law when it comes to stuff like this. The use of torture is a violation of the law itself, as Indonesia is a party of the ICCPR (International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), which among other things include the prohibition of torture, as well as of UNCAT (United Nations Convention Against Torture). Heck even in the 1945 constitution of Indonesia itself, at verse 28G of chapter 10A (which is a chapter that focuses solely on human rights), it explicitly states the right to be free from torture.
“BuT HAM iS JuSt WeSTeRn SJW ProPagAnda” Pancasila&Orba_supporter_#315645, I dare you say that to our founding fathers.
If we legitimize extrajudicial torture as a legitimate form of punishment by the armed forces, who’s to say that the same tactics can’t be applied to you when you’re, say, protesting or criticizing the government? It sets a bad precedent that your civil rights don't need to be taken into account when it comes to the military or authorities for that matter, as well as further creating a culture of impunity among the military and police. I’m sure most of us here don’t want the return of the Orba regime.
Even if the victim was in fact a KKB member who has done some heinous shit, torture in general, aside from being a bad way to make someone tell the truth as it just leads to people lying in order to escape the pain, is just a harm to the individual and society as a whole, hence why I think it should be universally opposed.
Conclusion
So yeah, that about wraps up the main part of my long fucking Reddit post. Normally in a situation like this, I would just write a comment on a post and call it a day, but certain comments riled up my brain that I felt the need to write this all down.
I’ve seen the same logic espoused by Zionists to justify to their ongoing genocide in Palestine by blaming Hamas being said by Indonesian ultranationalists who try to justify the torture of Papuan civilians because of the actions of the KKB, which is EXTREMELY ironic to me, considering I know that these same people would consider themselves to be Pro-Palestine.
To be extra, extra clear, the killing of civilian workers as well as the burnings of public facilities by Papuan militants are completely unjustified and also constitute war crimes. In the same breath, I’m sure that some TNI soldiers feel pain from the loss of friends to KKB gunshots. But that’s the thing though, some of those people part of KKB probably joined the group at least initially because TNI soldiers did some fucked up shit towards either them or their family and friends, but that surely doesn’t justify their attacks on civilian workers on the vague assumption that they’re “spies for the enemy”, neither should that apply for the TNI (and in case the analogies weren’t obvious enough, this also applies to both Hamas and the IDF).
The insane number of comments, lies, and abuses that were levied against the Rohingya Refugees that landed in Aceh by netizens as well as Acehnese students shows to me how dehumanization rhetoric can affect basically everyone, it just depends on how susceptible you are to it. It’s the main reason why I decided to make this post in the first place. We shouldn’t fall into dehumanization rhetoric of an entire group of people just because of the actions of a few. Terrorism committed by the TPNPB should not give the military impunity to do whatever they want, and vice versa for that matter. If we do, we end up using the same justifications that Zionists use.
Di sila kedua Pancasila, dibilangnya kalau semua kemanusiaan itu adil dan beradab. Which to me certainly suggests that all people have equal rights, a.k.a., HAM (gasp, scary acronym). I’m not sure if ultranationalists Orba types who defend TNI soldiers torturing civilians and tell protesting students at BEM UI to KKN to Papua realize that they’re going against a literal principle of Pancasila but guess we all have our blind spots.
A few of the responses to this post will say that I’m just a stupid, unpatriotic, SJW who’s out of touch with the real situation in Papua, and maybe I am, but hey, at least I’m not a war crime apologist.

Overall, for Early Access, this game is very good! Well done Devs!
It's smooth and polished, easy to figure out but I can easily see the competitive challenge you created by spreading out resources and forcing factions to expand and defend large areas in order to run at optimal efficiency. I'm going to offer some suggestions, but understand that these suggestions come from a place of high interest in the game and not from a place of negativity. You guys created a killer platform for future expansion on a great idea.
Before I dive into my main change recommendation on the game which is Faction Identity, I want to name off a couple small changes:
​
Formations: Just 3 would do.
-Standard "Move here" which you already have.
-Toggle: Move at same speed, which would allow all your units to move as slow as their slowest unit.
-Toggle: Melee Front, ranged in back, which would allow your units to move the way they should when you're approaching a fight, so your crossbow/ranged units aren't up front when approaching a target.
​
-Worshippers Repair Toggle: A toggle available to individual worshippers, they worship when inactive, but automatically run around base and repair anything that needs repairing, and prioritize whatever is closest to them first. It's risk/reward because they would obviously start running off to far-away locations and getting killed if you don't have an eye on them.
-A "center camera on most recent event" hotkey. The more you press it the further back in the event queue it goes.
- A "select all units of this exact type" so I can select all wolves or all Leshy's globally by holding one button then double clicking on a single unit. I'm aware you can do this by double clicking a unit type who is currently on the main screen, I'm talking about a global "select all of this unit type" hotkey.
There are some more Quality of Life improvements I'm sure you guys are aware of, but other than those the game is fantastic!
​
Faction Identities:
I feel like the identities of the factions can be fleshed out more, they are too symmetric. Currently it feels like 2.5 factions that have been split into 4.
Starcraft is the easy comparison. There's no guessing who is who in Starcraft, each faction is completely different in look and playstyle. In this game each faction is a bit of a clone with different unit selections. Faction identity is of course defined by their unit/building aesthetic and their individual playstyle. I'm going to throw out some ideas for faction identity, some of these are wild ideas, some of which are asking for a lot but while using a lot of what you have. I've done video game development in the past, I realize how difficult it is to pivot, so I want to preserve a lot of the work you've done with these ideas.
If I could wave a magic wand, I would have a Holy Warrior Faction (which you have), a Feudal Human faction (which you have), a stick-and-move raiding faction (Which you have), a Mythical Beast Faction (which you already have most of the components to), and then either a Undead/blight faction or a Demon/Scorched Earth faction.
​
Meness feels like it's own faction, werewolves and raiding, stick-and-move tactics, perfect, love it. Maybe lean even more into the werewolf theme with architecture and clothing.
Unit Aesthetic: Think feral wolf-clan from the forest. Fur armor, giant dire-wolves, no siege weapons.
Building Aesthetic: Tree houses, certain buildings can be built into the forest tiles, allowing them to keep a tighter main base. Their buildings could blend in a bit and wouldn't be as easy to spot (maybe even an upgrade where buildings built into the forest can be selected/attacked, but don't show up on the map?), maybe cheaper buildings when built into the forest, too. This would allow them to "snipe" resource points without the traditional "walls and sentry posts" strategy of other factions. If your building gets found and destroyed, no big deal, move to another spot and try again.
They could also maybe grow forests instead of walls. These forests could be attacked the same as walls. Maybe certain specific raiding units can move through the forests when out of combat.
​
Ausrine and Saule could be merged into one faction - Holy Warrior faction, you could even turn them into an elven faction. I'm thinking an Evil Holy-Elf faction focused on healing spells and turning people to their faith.
Unit and Building Aesthetic: Already done. Maybe get away from the Witch hut and give them their own building based on holy priests, maybe a magical lion instead of the Pukis.
​
Michael is the .5 faction I mentioned, they look just like Ausrine and Saule to me, but obviously way more upgrade-focused - Feudal Humans. Upgrading and Sacrificing units is a solid identity for them because it goes in line with the "Feudal Lords mixed with expendable serfs" feel.
I would actually replace Michael with a Horse-Back Warrior God, or replace him with Saule.
A flying angel of death doesn't make sense to me overseeing a faction that is mostly based around upgrading feudal-style army units, but a Devine Priestess overseeing Feudal Knights who are ready to die for her makes a lot more sense.
​
Faction Suggestions:
Mythical Beasts - You already have some of this with the Pukis, Leshy, Cockatrice, and Spigana. The whole faction is based around pumping out large raid-boss monsters and smaller support units from the witch hut who deal damage, healing and buffing the rampaging monsters.
Unit Aesthetic: Self explanatory, big beasts and support units to keep them rampaging.
Building Aesthetic: Witch Hut, monster caves, Alka, Dragon Spire for an end-game dragon unit.
​
Blight or Demonic faction: For these examples I'm going to go with demonic instead of blight, but blight would be equally cool. It's a counter-faction based around destroying the lands around them.
Scorched Earth: Sort of like the Zerg Creep effect, they spread their land by changing it to Scorched Earth, a fiery area of hell-stricken land where most other factions cannot build unless the area has lost it's demonic presence. Instead of harvesting trees, they burn them to the ground and harvest the ash and burned wood. This opens up their choke-points, making them more vulnerable, but the Scorched Earth could also be upgraded to deal damage over time, cause debuffs, reduce healing, buff their units while on Scorched Earth.
Faction hero: A Flying Sacrificial Demon with fire spells, I would repurpose Michael for this and turn him into a Demon God.
Unit Aesthetic: Demons of all type. Tiny harassing little imps. Axe-carrying bull-demons are the foot soldiers. Long range fire-casters, rampaging demon beasts, units that can spread scorched earth around the map by burning down forests, allowing for the harassment of other faction's ability to gather wood. Forests would grow back over time after scorched earth goes away. Healing spells could cure scorched earth, etc.
Building Aesthetic: Pits of hell that spawn units from underneath the earth. Fiery caves, bull-demon huts, population cap is based on the amount of scorched earth you're covering, no houses. Instead of walls you can create mountains jutting up from the earth so they can create choke-points like the other factions.
Yes I know, I know, this is asking for a lot - but Starcraft is king because it's 3 games in one. Bored of Zerg? Well then go play Terrans with a whole new playstyle. Think you're good at Holy Warriors? Well here's a Demonic faction who is great at scorched earth tactics to challenge all your strategies.
​
All that aside - great game! Looking forward to seeing what you have in store!

An observation of a Manila boi who is considerably new to Bataan:
•Too many restaurants disguised as a café -Yes. Good food 🤝 shit coffee -As someone who enjoys books with a cup of coffee, it is really hard to enjoy your coffee when you are in a "café" where everyone around you is having a rice meal or pansit. It kills the vibe + ang ingay :(
•A handful of cafés claiming to be thirdwave when they're not. -Red flag talaga yung mga naglalagay ng "A thirdwave cafe in ___, Bataan" sa facebook ads. Lahat talaga pinuntahan ko huhu silly me -Yung iba nasa mismong shop logo pa. Sobrang disappointing pag natikman mo na at natanong kung bakit sila third wave.
•Price over quality -Sadly, nasa pamurahan padin tayo. Compared to our neighbours in Olongapo and Pampanga na nasa quality ang competition, very evident sa Bataan na pababaan padin ng price ang labanan. -Only a few cafés are willing to actually use good beans and raise the bar. Sobrang dami ng naka robusta blend to keep costs low +Hindi pa maayos calibration.
Hay anyways, please feel free to recommend cafés with good quality coffee kahit hindi thirdwave.
Here are a few that I enjoy:
Vaked@Sala - super payapa ambiance + Good coffee + proper café food options. Ligtas tayo sa maiingay na rice meal enjoyers huhu heaven
Dreamlatte - always the go-to when I'm in the mood for a pour-over. Beerhouse equivalent ng mga adik sa kape hahaha may get noisy sometimes pero may option ka umakyat sa mapayapang 2nd floor para makaiwas sa rice meal at pansit enthusiasts
D'Barlits - Masarap na coffee and pastries. Ang lawak ng beverage menu tapos masarap lahat kahit magkakaiba ng vibe. As an americano enjoyer, nakakabaliw lang sa part ko na ang dalas nila magpalit ng beans. May ricemeal at pansit din kaya wag kang aakyat (Main dining area) pag maraming tao haha better stay downstairs
Kurbada - Matcha yung pinunta namin dito pero wow din sa ganda ng coffee - beans roasted by Dreamlatte. Bihira makatikim ng Brazil & Ethiopia blend ng Arabica sa Bataan kaya hindi ako nakapag matcha. Payapa naman when I visited pero mukhang magulo din during dinner time dahil may pansit at steak.
Hanan - Good coffee + good cafe food options, Medyo maingay lang at mainit sa area since nasa park siya beside a court pero so far payapa dito every morning. Lawak din ng beverage menu hahaha lahat ata ng flavor meron dito eh
BFC Orani (Pag duty yung barista na marunong mag calibrate) - Payapa naman as a place pero yung kape hit or miss talaga eh hahaha tinatanaw ko muna kung duty yung maayos na barista para kahit papano hindi sayang pera ko.

Ini pertamakalinya posting di reddit Indonesia. Semoga ga salah kamar.

Aku mau cerita. Pertengahan tahun lalu mantanku waktu jaman bloon2 dulu tepatnya waktu kuliah inbox aku di fb. Aku kaget tapi seneng karena sebenernya aku juga pernah nyariin dia tapi karena dulu gak tau nama lengkapnya jadi gak pernah ketemu. Singkat cerita dulu aku ninggalin dia kalo gak salah krn kita beda agama. Eh skrg pas dia inbox ngabarin kl kita sdh seagama. Tapi dia sdh nikah. Aku juga.
​
Dari obrolan2 pendek aja aku ngerasa ada yg salah krn aku ngerasa sdg selingkuh walau pun kita gak ngomongin soal cinta2an. Walau perkawinanku sdg ada masalah dan perkawinannya juga ada masalah tapi aku ttp ngerasa salah. Aku seneng ketemu dia lagi tapi terus aku pamitan dan blokir dia di fb.
​
Sakit banget rasanya. Perkawinanku sdh di ujung tanduk. Aku sdh dapet pengacara buat ngurus semua. Aku mau berdiri sendiri krn cape punya pasangan yg tak seirama. Suatu waktu aku ingin main ke tempat mantanku itu krn dia tinggal di pulau yg indah. Tapi aku gak niat hubungin dia sih cuma kebetulan aku punya anak yg aku sponsorin juga disana. Aku mulai kerja supaya gak ngandelin suamiku. Tapi stlh kerja bbrpa bulan ternyata penyakitku makin kambuh. Aku gak bisa kerja lagi.
​
Aku gak mungkin berdiri sendiri lagi. Aku tergantung sama suami apalagi ada anak2. Tapi jauh didalam lubuk hatiku aku tersiksa hidup sama dia.
Anyway, Sepertinya Tuhan benar2 ngelarang aku bahkan untuk sekedar pergi ke tempat mantanku itu karena jalanku langsung diblokir lewat penyakitku. Satu hal yg aku syukuri dr bertemunya aku dgn dia lagi walau cuma di dumay yaitu aku jadi aktif bikin video di youtube. Dari Agustus smp skrg aku sdh bikin 113 video. Cuma video edit mengedit sedikit tapi itu cukup membuat kepalaku lega sedikit tiap melakukannya disamping melakukan pekerjaan rumah plus ngurus anak2.
​
Kpd yg membaca tolong dido'akan ya semoga suamiku kl tdk cinta lagi mau melepasku baik2.

Halo!
Saya di sini mau berbagi cerita sekaligus bertanya ke yang berpengalaman atau punya pengetahuan di sini. Sudah setahun ini ayah saya meninggal menyusul ibu yang sudah lebih dulu karena sakit. Warisan harta & utang sudah diterima saya dan kakak-adik sebagai ahli waris, utang sudah diselesaikan bersama dan harta sudah dibagi sesuai kesepakatan.
Saya kebagian rumah tinggal, namun sayangnya tidak ditinggali karena ada pekerjaan di luar kota. Sejak kuliah, saya udah terbiasa untuk investasi di saham, reksadana, dan deposito bank digital. Jadi saat ini lebih tertarik jika rumahnya dijual aja lalu diputar di instrumen keuangan dan investasi bisnis. Anggap saja nilai rumahnya sesuai NJOP Rp703.976.000
Berikut ini ada beberapa opsi yang sempat terlintas dan saya pelajari:

1. Renovasi rumah untuk disewakan dengan estimasi nilai sewa 20jutaan per tahun. Cons: harus keluar biaya perawatan setiap selesai sewa, atau ada kemungkinan sulit tersewa)
2. Jual rumah seharga NJOP kemudian diputar di instrumen investasi. (Misal di SBR020-T5 6.4% per tahun selama 5 tahun = 45jt/tahun)
3. Jual rumah seharga NJOP kemudian diputar di investasi bisnis yang udah mature dengan proyeksi ROI sekitar 20% per tahun = 140jt/tahun. Cons: Bisnis termasuk investasi High risk
4. Jaminkan rumah untuk KPR Refinance / KUR dan digunakan untuk investasi bisnis seperti poin 3. Cons = Harus bayar cicilan per bulan & resiko gagal bayar jika bisnis sedang lesu

Berdasarkan pengetahuan dan pengalaman, kelihatan ya kalau saya lebih cocok untuk menjalankan poin 2. Karena hasil dari investasi bisa digunakan untuk biaya sewa rumah di luar kota tempat saya kerja dan sisanya bisa dipakai untuk hidup / reinvestasi. Tentunya gaji bulanan tetap akan digunakan untuk kebutuhan hidup & investasi juga.
Tapi mungkin ada yang punya pengalaman serupa dan mau berbagi cerita dari perspektfi lain monggo yaa.

TLDR: Player scav teamed up with me (PMC), an onslaught of 3rd parties keep popping up in waves like it's 2012 and we're playing COD Zombies, and he robs me blind while I'm fighting for OUR lives.
I'm working on Lightkeeper's task, Provocation, where I find myself on Interchange with 3 dead juice-lords outside Kiba and probably a dozen dead scavs, all fallen to my 8kg Ash-12. In between putting my arms back on and refueling my PMC's insatiable hunger for sardines, I do some chicken runs for the juicers' loadouts and form a giant pile of loot in Adik. I start to hear some movement in Brutal while I'm repacking mags for the 5th time. The movement scurries into the hallway where said dead PMC's lie, and I approach with the offer. "I just killed all those guys. There's too much gear for me, come take some of this and we can hit co-op together."
Apprehensively, he responds. "C-c-c-come on man, I only have 80k in my stash. Just let me leave!"
I start to plead with him. "Dude, just come take this gear. It's more gratifying to work together. There's no bag in the game big enough for all of this loot; take whatever you want and let's get out of here."
He comes in with his knife out, even dropping his pathetic excuse of a VPO-209 behind him. He loots up everything he can into his new Attack 2, including an Osprey, Bagariy, an RPD, and what's left of a .308 MDR I stripped just a few minutes prior. Obviously, it's not enough to fill the bag after gear swaps, but the kid's got two solid kits to get him through some rouble runs. My bag contains similar loot: another Osprey, Comtac 4s, XCELs, and the pieces of the aforementioned MDR.
I pop some stims and we make our way down the path he came. We enter Brutal when I see movement in Mantis. I bag drop, circle the generator and panic tap a crab who somehow found his way off the Lighthouse beaches and into the mall. I walk across the hall into Mantis, holding the corners and pre-firing at the footstep cues. I hear the enemy combatant run right-to-left around the middle walls, and I start tap-firing through them in hopes to poke him down. The movement comes to a halt. No further audio cues to work with. I vault onto the medical gurney and see yet another corpse. Poor guy only has an MP9 and an LZSh on. I stuff the MP9 into my Blackrock and head back to my buddy who I left in Brutal to hold the fort.
He's doing just that; hovering over the dead crab in disbelief and making sure I know it's him and not to shoot, as if he wasn't in earshot the whole time. I can see the meta M4 on the crab, and yet another Osprey, as well as a Bastion, ring-plate included. "Loot him up big guy, we gotta get moving." He grabs it all and we start walking down the hall. I can tell his puny little scav legs can't handle the weight, so I toss him a hero's breakfast: SJ6, Propital, and an Obdolbos 2.
He doses up like the spiritual juice-lord I know he can be, and we start running through National towards the main entrance when yet another 3rd party engages, this time from the upper deck near Jacob & Jacob. He peppers me pretty good before I can return fire. My new friend drops his Attack 2 and says "I'll flank left and see if I can find an angle." I drop my Trooper bag and immediately sprint right, hoping to either be a distraction or hit the off-angle as my friend baits away. This is when I notice there's yet another player scav hanging around Brutal, and I immediately recruit him. "DUDE! Help us, there's an enemy combatant upstairs near Jacob & Jacob. I have another player scav friend behind me and a bag full of gear you can have, just help us take this guy out and we can all hit co-op".
Without missing a beat, he yells out, "I'M POKING THE BEAR, I'M POKING THE BEAR!" He sprints up the escalators, when seemingly out of nowhere the enemy peaks out above the center of the mall. I flick up and spray mercilessly, and his body falls off the edge. "ENEMY DOWN, ENEMY DOWN!" Me and the bear-poker regroup down low. I run down the hall towards the entrance VOIP-ing at the first friend I made. I make it all the way to the main stairs, VOIP-ing the whole time, trying to find my friend, but he's gone.
Somber, and one friend lighter, I head back to National to find that not only did he lie and leave me for dead, but that deceitful little shit rummaged through my bag and took everything except the other Osprey. Despite my generosity, my protection, and most of all my trust, he still felt the need to betray all of it and double his running distance JUST for some headsets and weapon parts.
I explain my situation to Bear-Poker, and we have a nice, breezy walk through the parking lot and into the co-op extract after scrounging up whatever we can that was left over from all the chaos.
Know this Betrayer: I know your voice. I know we'll meet again. But even if we don't, karma will have its way with you.

I 23F recently endrd my long term relationship with my EX 27M.
For context! He's the youngest in his fam, kaya super spoiled sya. His father and sister are both working overseas (2 lang sila mag kapatid), I guess, kaya dinya feel mag work to provide for his needs.
We've been together for like 5 years, simula nung Student palang ako hanggang sa maka graduate. Throughout our relationship twice lang sya nag ka trabaho hindi pa sya tumatagal ng 6 months sa work nya. (Pinag wowork ko sya for himself not for me since I can provide for my own).
I've been asking him to get serious since hindi naman na sya bata, he's old enough to provide for himself pero inaasa parin nya sa fam nya knowing na hindi na bata ang dad nya at yung ate nya may sariling fam na.
But the main reason for our break up is nung napabarkada sya sa mga adik last year (Alam kong adik sila kasi kilala sila sa lugar). Sinabi ko sakanya na ayoko na sumasama sya don pero never sya nakinig at sinasabi lang nya na alam nya ginagawa nya. (Lagi nya tinatanggi na gumagamit sya everytime tinatanong ko)
Simula nung napa barkada sya don lagi nasya walang paramdam, minsan nawawala sya for days minsan umaabot ng weeks ng walang paalam.
Then one time na curious ako kaya nag ask ako sa mama nya, don ko nalaman na ang pinapaalam nya pala sa parents nya ay samin sya pupunta kahit hindi naman kaya nung nag kaalaman sa mga kalokohan nya ako ang sinisisi nung fam nya kasi hindi ko daw binatayan at inalagaan anak nila.
I'm trying to understand him naman pero hindi ko na talaga kinaya kaya nakipag break na ako this January, 2024.
No contact na kami after that, and since then nararamdaman kong fully healed nako. In fact masaya ako na natapos na relationship namin kasi sawa nako umintindi at pag buntungan ng galit ng magulang nya.
Hindi ko sya namimiss, At hindi rin ako bitter everytime ibibring up sya ng friends ko.
Kaso minsan nakaka guilty, kasi imbes na ma broken para akong nabunutan ng tinik.
Masama ba kong tao? ABYG kung mabilis ako maka move on?
Badly needed some insights from strangers kasi supported ako ng friends and fam ko, and I wanted to know other people's opinions. Thank you!

first post here,
halo, as background in general mungkin saya izin cerita sedikit ya; jadi pengetahuan saya mengenai keuangan masih konvensional, selama ini hanya punya debit BCA dan tabungan di digital bank Jago. this year i want to learn and experience more of financial options out there, for example: thinking of applying my first CC (probably BCA JCB & MCxTiket -- gatau bakal lolos apa ngga wkwk) after 3 days reading lots of CC threads here, and did research here and there. so planning to incorporate CC in my daily transaction and less for debit needs
kemudian background lagi utk my main question; tahun ini juga i will have my first trip to Japan (after a decade of not traveling lol). I already gathered that CC BCA JCB prob is a great option for credit transaction in Jp, but others said I better have some cash on me as well. sure, I'll prepare some cash too (prob will visit VIP or further reading which better money xchangers in Jkt), but wondering if I can go with debit transaction in Yen thus this thread title. So far saya ketemu rekomendasinya: Jenius, DBS, OCBC
so the question I haven't found answers for is: which digital bank wins in foreign transaction for traveling and for investing in fx?
inginnya ga hanya utk Yen tapi bisa utk future traveling plans (hence I plan to get BCA MCxTiket too (not aiming for miles bcs I'm not a big spender)) dan mungkin bisa tipis2 nabung valas juga. Banyak yg rekomen Jenius tapi sejujurnya saya kurang percaya sama Jenius wkwkw (dulu pernah punya Jenius tapi udah ditutup sejak ada feesible dan macem2 berita)
so my option lands on DBS or OCBC, any insights? other banks also welcomed (kalau ada yg mau merubah pikiran saya ttg Jenius juga boleh wkwk)
also, if it depends on what countries, I have big dreams of visiting Thai, Europe (esp Spain), UK. others maybe SG, MY, HK, Aus, FYI.
Sorry if my question is weird/broke any rules, but TIA!
edited: barusan kebetulan bgt ada yg nanya juga di app sebelah wkwk, ternyata sebutannya Multicurrency Account ya, jadi punya rekening valas di digital bank. kalo BCA gitu katanya tabungan valas harus dipisah semacam akun BCA IDR & BCA USD gitu, not preferable si

Hari selesa xixix saya lupa untuk mencatat di sini . Seperti biasa saya bangun tidur,mandi dan berangkat sekolah . Akan tetapi hari itu sangat melelahkan karena saya di hajar oleh mata pelajaran yang hampir semua orang tidak suka atau ingin sekali melewatkannya, yaa matematika nama nya. Akan tetapi hari itu saya sangat suka karena terdapat jamkos di akhir akhir jam pelajaran. Dan saya melakukan kegiatan yang tidak baik seperti saya melarikan diri dari ekstra futsal yaa karena saya sedang sakit . Namun walau saya sakit saya tetap main sampai malam sekitar jam 12 malam . Hal itu yang membuat saya lupa untuk menulis dan mengirim kan cerita saya:) , dan segitu aja cerita saya nilai hari itu ( 8,5/10 ).
Yesterday day xixix I forgot to note here. As usual I wake up, shower and go to school. However, that day was very tiring because I was beaten by a subject that almost everyone doesn't like or really wants to skip, namely mathematics. However, I really liked that day because there was a boarding school at the end of the class period. And I did bad activities like I ran away from extra futsal because I was sick. But even though I was sick, I still played until around 12 o'clock at night. That's what made me forget to write and send my story :), and that's all I rated the story that day (8.5/10).
ここにメモするのを忘れていました。いつものように起きて、シャワーを浴びて、学校に行きます。しかし、その日は、ほとんどの人が嫌い、または本当にサボりたがる科目、つまり数学に負けたので、とても疲れました。でも、授業期間の最後に寄宿学校があったので、その日はとても気に入りました。そして体調が悪くてフットサルのエクストラから逃げるなど、悪いこともしました。でも、体調が悪くても夜の12時くらいまで遊んでました。それが、私がストーリーを書いて送信することを忘れた原因です :) そして、それがその日そのストーリーを評価したすべてです (8.5/10)。
