May ilang kaibigan po ang nangulit sa akin kung magkano na kinikita ko sa kalukuhang ito! Hahaha! 😝

Paldong paldo na daw baga ako?

Well.. yun ang isa sa mga goal.. ang pumaldo..
pero sa ngayon, HINDI PA PO!

Oh sya! Aydi ito pakita ko ang binigay ni Meta sa akin sa isang video ko na sa ngayon ay umabot na ng 158k views.

$16.66 po.

Malaki? Hindi. 😢

Sulit? For me, aba’y OO naman! 👌

Mas natutuwa ako magbasa ng mga comments at makitang may mga natutuwa (or naiinis 😜) at nagsheshare sa contents ko. 2,550 followers palang ako pero super grateful ako dahil nag follow sila sa akin..

At naniniwala ako sa kasabihang….

“Trust the process” 😉

🎣 FRIDAY FOOD TRIVIA: UK and PH Edition! 🇬🇧🇵🇭

Why do Brits eat Fish & Chips on Fridays…
…and Pinoys eat Munggo & Galunggong?

Believe it or not.. it’s not just because pareho silang masarap! 😋
There’s a centuries-old Catholic connection behind both!

⸻

✝️ THE HOLY REASON BEHIND THE HABIT:

📿 In both the UK and the Philippines, Christians (especially Catholics) traditionally avoid meat on Fridays as a form of penance.
No pork, no beef. Uhh Fish? ✅ Yes! Pwede!

⸻

🇵🇭 PHILIPPINES: “Munggo Friday” is practically canon.

💡 Munggo + Galunggong = classic Lutong Bahay combo
✅ Cheap, filling, meat-free
🌧️ Best served during rainy days or Lenten guilt trips
👵 Lola’s been doing this way before it was trendy

⸻

🇬🇧 UNITED KINGDOM: Fish & Chips Friday = national ritual.

🍟 Born during the Industrial Revolution
🚫 No meat Fridays = fish becomes the star
🏙️ Served in newspapers, eaten on the go
📆 Still the busiest day for fish & chip shops!

⸻

🤯 SAME TRADITION. DIFFERENT FLAVORS.

Catholic roots + working-class practicality =
✨Endless Fridays of crispy joy✨

So next time you’re eating your munggo or queuing for cod and chips, remember:

You’re part of a delicious global tradition that’s older than your great-grandparents.
(And probably holier, too. 😇)

⸻

Which Friday combo do you prefer?
🐟 British-style battered fish with fries?
🥣 Or munggo with rice and fried galunggong?

🇵🇭 FILIPINO FOOD CULTURE VS. 🇬🇧 BRITISH REACTIONS 😂🐟

So apparently, serving fried tilapia (or any fish) with the head still on is totally normal for us Pinoys… but it can freak out some Brits 😅

Ever wondered why many British people are grossed out when they see a fish with eyes staring back at them on the plate? Here’s the lowdown:

👀 “It’s too real!”
In Western culture, people are used to food looking “clean” and “processed.” They prefer fish that’s been filleted, de-boned, and definitely decapitated. Seeing the fish head — especially the eyes — is just too much for them.

🍽️ Plating over practicality.
British dining culture puts a big emphasis on presentation. A whole fried fish? That’s not exactly what you’d expect in a posh dinner setting. To a lot of them, it looks messy or even disturbing.

🧠 Psychological detachment.
A lot of Brits (and Westerners in general) prefer not to be reminded that their food was once alive. So if the fish head is still there? That’s a hard pass for many.

Meanwhile, us Filipinos?
We’ll be fighting over who gets the cheeks, eyes, or the crispy head! 😋 In dishes like sinigang, paksiw, or inihaw, the fish head isn’t just tolerated… IT IS THE BEST PART! 🤤

Point of the story?
Food is cultural. What’s gross to one person might be a delicacy to another.

And yes, if you’re feeding a British friend, maybe give them the fillet first. 😂

Would you eat the fish head? Or do you give it away?

Naalala ko nung minsan, binigyan ako ni Papa ng pera pambayad ng kuryente.

Pero imbes na bayaran ko, bumili ako ng raffle ticket para sa brand new na kotse na premyo.
Pag-uwi ko, pinaliwanag ko kay Papa yung ginawa ko… ayun, binugbog nya ko..

Kinabukasan, paggising ni Papa, pagbukas ng pinto… BOOM! May brand new kotse na naka parada sa harap ng bahay namin! Shet!!!

Umiyak kaming lahat. Lalo na ako.

Kasi yung bagong kotse… galing sa Meralco. Pinuntahan kami para putulan ng kuryente.

Kaya yun, binugbog ulit ako ni Papa.

Kilalang influencer natalo daw sa mga casino worth 69M.

Di ko ma-imagine ang bigat ng pinagdadaanan ni Awit ngayon kung totoo man ito.

One thing is for sure. Ang sugal talaga ay parang kumunoy, dahan dahan ka nyan hihigupin hanggang sa lumubog ka.

Kaya sa mga nag susugal po. Hindi ko po sinasabi na tigilan nyo kasi sino ba ko para bawalan kayo. Emotion control lang po pag natatalo na pero mas lalo na pag nanalo kayo.

69 Million? Grabe! 🤦🏻‍♂️

CONFESSION OF A NEWBIE CONTENT CREATOR.

Dati, desperado akong magka-followers.
Kahit anong post makita ko na may “Comment ‘count me in’ para sumikat ang page/bahay mo,”
AYUN. Nag-comment ako. COUNT ME IN.

Akala ko noon, may shortcut para sa maraming followers.

Pero after 3 days kong ginagawa yon, may narealize ako. Hindi pala sapat ang pagiging visible. dapat may value.

Hindi pala sapat ang sumabay sa uso o ma-pressure sa ibang content creators na malaki na ang following. kailangan may sariling direksyon.

Ngayon, alam ko na.
Ang tunay na growth, hindi minamadali.
Hindi mo kailangang manlimos ng followers,
Kailangan mong magtanim ng quality content,
at maghintay nang may tyaga at pasensya.

Sumubok, magkamali at sumubok ulit.

Then, nakita ko tong post na to sa isang random page. Kawawa daw ang maliliit ang followers at walang pumapansin. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Wrong mindset.

So kung ikaw ‘to ngayon, wag ka ma-pressure kapatid. Wag mong gagayahin yang nagpost na yan sa baba na para bang nagpapa-awa at nanlilimos ng followers.

Start with a purpose.

Create, connect, and let your work speak for itself.

Saludo sa mga taong piniling magpatuloy sa mabagal pero TAMANG simula. 🫡

NOT AN EXTRAORDINARY OR SPECIAL SITUATION

Ito ang iginiit ni Pres. Bongbong Marcos kaugnay sa masamang panahong naranasan sa bansa nitong mga nakaraang araw.

Ayon sa Pangulo, dapat mag-adapt ang publiko sa bagong weather systems dahil hindi ito maiiwasan.

"We just have to change the way we think. Everything is different from what it was in the last 40 years," ayon sa Pangulo.

Parang wala naman common sense yung staff neto? di mo alam kung sinadya? nakalagay na nga ‘Type of disability’ eh 🫩 parang nanggagago nalang eh!

My husband and I went to Starbucks at Festival Mall earlier to relax after work. We are both PWDs (my husband has a speech disability and I have a psychosocial disability). Since I was already tired, he was the one who ordered at the counter. When he came back to our table, nag iba yung aura nya. Then he showed me the name written on his cup.

Really, Starbucks!? This is so disappointing. And then you even called out my husband based on the name written on the cup?

This is truly disappointing.

Update:
The manager spoke with us and apologized. They acknowledged their mistake. But still, part of us — especially my husband — was humiliated by what happened. He rarely approaches people, and now it seems like he’s starting to feel traumatized even just by ordering at other restaurants. Knowing that I also have a social disability, this is just too much.
