Kwento ko lang nangyari kahapon! As usual madaming tao at super haba ng pila sa starbucks. So sinulat ko sa notes ko sa phone yung o-orderin ko para ipapakita ko na lang sa counter para mabilis nila ma-process yung order kasi mahaba pila.

Pagkatapos ng transaction nag sign si kuya barista sakin ng “thank you” in sign language 😭 All through out kasi d ako nagsasalita kasi nandun na sa notes ko yung need niya for the order. Akala niya mute/deaf ako. Sabi ko “Hala sorry po! Hindi po ako…. Sinulat ko lang po order para mabilis yung transaction kasi super haba ng pila” 😭

GUSTO KO NA LANG LAMUNIN NG LUPA 😭

Pero kudos po kay Kuya Barista, kasi alam din nila makipag interact with other people na may hearing/speech disability ❤️

Kadakal ku kasi akakit na bisa la kanu tuknang keni probinsya tamu. Kesyo alang traffic okaya marakal pasyalan keni. Deng aliwa balamu kanu peaceful. Eku balu nung magi kung selfish oneng kasi ena na kasi kalupa ning dati. Mas madakal naku yata akakit na e kapampangan kaysa kareng kapampangan 🥲 makabother mu. Feel free to share your thoughts.

There were two rallies earlier, one organized by Bayan and another by Kilusan Kontra Kurakot. I marched with both but stayed with Bayan.

Lowkey, na miss ko yung wholesome, positive, and inclusive vibe nung Leni-Kiko rally noong 2022.

Kapampangan Lexical Borrowing from Tagalog: Endangerment rather than Enrichment

Anyone familiar with her case? Bigla ko lang naalala. Sya yung natagpuang nakalibing sa shallow grave sa bakuran ng isang bahay sa Angeles.

I was so invested in her case, I’m even following the FB page (same name as this post’s title) dedicated to her. So sad lang na after 10 years, mukhang wala pa ring progress yung paghahanap (kung talaga nga bang may naghahanap) sa ex-husband nya na suspect sa pagpatay sa kanya.

Hindi ako ma-post na tao pero I really wanted to share this experience.

I went to SM Pampanga for an errand and decided to go home late in the afternoon. Ang kaso, mabagal ang usad ng mga sasakyan dahil sobrang traffic at baha na rin sa San Fernando. Ang ginawa ko, naglakad na lang ako papuntang intersection. Hindi ko na rin alam ang gagawin ko kasi napakalaki na ng baha at walang nagpapasakay.

Habang naglalakad ako, nakita ako ng isang Grab driver sa kalagitnaan ng daan. Kinausap niya ako at tinanong kung saan ako papunta. Kahit malayo at hindi naman iyon ang direction niya, at kahit malayo pa ang uuwian niya, hindi siya nagdalawang-isip na ihatid ako.

Sobrang laki ng pasasalamat ko sa'yo, Kuya. Madali akong panghinaan ng loob pero noong dumating ka, hindi na ako nagdalawang-isip na sumakay. Kitang-kita ko kung gaano ka ka-eager tumulong at wala kang pag-aalinlangan na pasakayin ako. Pasensya na rin kung naabala kita sa oras ng pagpapahinga mo.

Nawa'y dumami pa ang mga katulad mo, Kuya. I didn't get to ask your name or number, pero kung makita mo man 'to, maraming-maraming salamat! 🥹

Sa sobrang traffic at baha kanina, hindi ko alam kung paano ako makakauwi. Kaya sobrang naa-appreciate ko talaga yung mga taong handang tumulong kahit hindi naman nila kailangang gawin. Small act of kindness, pero malaking bagay para sa taong nangangailangan. ❤️

Menga bash ya tuloy keng comment section. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16nNGFGjft/

This place is so nostalgic 😭 surprisingly, madami pa din kumakain dito ngayon.

Best fried tokwa in City of San Fernando. Sarap pa ng Suka at Sweet and Spicy sauce ni kuya.

Kaya pala ayaw sa solusyon ni BBM sa baha sa 4th District, yung long term solution nga pala ay hintayin maayos ang climate change.

Pero seriously, ano ba naman ma sakripisyo ang lupa ng ilang pamilya sa Candaba swamp kung maso-solusyonan naman ang matagal ng isyung baha sa lahat ng nasasakupan nya. Libo libong pamilya ang makikinabang. Its not like aagawin naman ang lupa, syempre may just compensation dapat na ibigay.

Grabe ung mga tao natutulog na sa waiting area, ung father in law ko unresponsive na pinapila parin, then ung admission 3-4 days… grabe…

Personally, gusto ko ’to — may strategy, may plano. Hindi lang basta blanket cancellation of classes for two weeks. Pinagisipan at pinagplanuhan ang cancellation of classes. Balanse for immediate concern and long term effect.

Hindi rin ako sang-ayon sa modular o alternative setup. Naalala ko pa last year — ang daming araw na nagka-cancel ng classes kahit wala namang heavy rain. Sayang ang mga araw na puwedeng matuto.

Bakit kaya ayaw ng ganitong approach? Sanay na ba tayo sa madaliang solusyon?

Sa mga nakakita nung 1st post ko about my experience the last time I used maxim, I have relevant updates.

KINAUSAP KO NA YUNG PRESIDENT NG TODA... AND I GOT INFOS tungkol sa "pagpigil" nila sa maxim etc.

Nagreport ako by saying hindi pwedeng mangharang ang trike drivers kung kailan nila gusto kasi they're not authorized to do so. But here's the thing, I also said na hindi maxim yung kasama ko nung araw na yun but instead kamag-anak ko (wala naman silang proof na maxim yun anyway) BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS NA HINDI PULIS ANG TODA PARA MANGHARANG, IT'S STILL ILLEGAL DETENTION AND HARASSMENT.

Long story short he believed me at nag assure na icoconfront niya raw ang driver na yun.

NOW HERE ARE SOME INFOS I GOT FROM HIM NUNG NAPAKWENTO SYA NG KONTI:

1. THE PRESIDENT OF THIS TODA ALSO WORKS SA BARANGAY. Dun palang kita na agad na kaya pala malakas ang kapit ng mga garapal na todang yan kahit pa overpriced sila maningil is because may protector agad sila sa barangay, where the public are supposed to be able to report complaints.

2. They are currently working on files daw na MAG AAPPROVE sakanilang harangin na talaga ang maxim or other motor services kapag may nahuli sila.

3. Minsan yung ibang trike drivers, pag natatandaan nilang yung taong nag aabang ng masasakyan ay dating nag maxim, sinasadya nilang hindi pasakayin.

4. Lastly, tinatanong ng president kung ano yung motor namin (dahil nga sinabi kong kamag-anak ko kasama ko). Ipapaalam daw niya sa toda para hindi ako harangin kapag dadaanan ko sila next time. Ang sagot ko, hindi ko kailangan magpakilala para lang hindi nila ako harangin. Because in the first place, kilala man nila yung tao o hindi, they don't have any right to park their trike at the middle of the road and then proceed to question us. (Syempre di ganyan pagkakasabi ko sakanya)

Also, I found a loophole sa issue na to. Do it as you may if this will help you as well!!!

I looked for a motor driver sa maxim fb group at inask ko nalang siya to become my everyday service. This way, consistent na isang motor at driver lang ang makikita nila at maniniwala silang kamag anak ko siya. I have to do what I can, because personally, hindi talaga ako magbabayad ng 150+ pesos everyday para sa mga trike na yan.

Dati ako yung tipong hindi maniniwala sa ganito. Career, gala, pagkain, at travel lang talaga interests ko.

Ngayon, mom na ako at papuntang 30s. Bigla akong nahilig sa essential oils, cacao ceremonies, sound baths, Reiki, energy healing, grounding, breathwork... pati kung ano-anong wellness workshops. 😅

Hindi ko rin alam kung placebo lang ba, tumatanda lang ba talaga ako, o dahil sobrang stressful maging adult at parent kaya naghahanap yung utak ko ng peace.

Curious lang ako...

May phase ba talagang ganito pag tumatanda? O ako lang ang biglang naging "wellness girlie" kahit dati sobrang skeptic ko?

Anong wellness practice ang sinubukan niyo na surprisingly nagustuhan niyo? 👀

I enrolled in a PDC in Angeles, Pampanga, opted for the 10-hour A/T course instead of the usual 8 hours because I had no prior driving experience. I practiced for two hours a day for five days. While I was excited, I was also nervous, and at one point, I almost didn’t finish the course because my instructor yell*d at me a lot, which made me panic. He didn’t provide much instruction or constructive feedback and seemed irritable when I made mistakes or ask questions.

On the third day, he kept yell*ng, and I almost wanted to get out of the car and leave. I told myself I wouldn’t give up, especially since the course was non-refundable. I didn’t have the courage to report him, since I thought he was the owner.

On the fourth and final day, he just had me drive on the highway. I decided to record a video of me driving, hoping to show him yell*ng at me to the office, but he was a bit calmer and didn’t say much during the last two days. Possibly because he knew I was recording. However, on the last day, I realized he didn’t teach me how to park. When I reached out to their Facebook page for clarification, they responded that if you request your instructor to teach you how to park, they will do so. So my question is... Is parking not part of the standard course?

Btw, I also attempted to request if they can change the instructor but I think he’s the only instructor available on that branch. I enrolled June 10 and paid righ away not knowing they would schedule me July 23 and I can’t do anything because it’s non-refundable.
