So with a gap in the tour dates between Independence MO 10/14 and Grand Rapids MI 10/31, do y’all thing he’ll do two more night in Grand Rapids or are we not getting a 3 nighter this year. Thoughts?

Hey guys, I got a condo from SMDC back in 2019 for around 5.5m because an agent said there was a promo where the monthly amortization was only 12k.
At this time, my salary was doubled from 15k-30k. So my mom was pretty excited to invest and we got the good ol sweet talk from an agent.
Anyways, now I’m making around P140k a month. Will that be enough to afford it once I get it financed?
Currently: -25 years old -paying less than 4k for bills -no kids -but, I got a car loan (P27,945/mo.) for 4 years.

I met this guy sa tinder last January. 1 month rin kami magkachat, nung una sa tinder lang then i ask for his ig acct and followed him kasi he seems like a good guy at maayos naman kausap. Nag-usap kami ng dream travel destination namin- ako sa Batanes, sya sa Japan. Inaya pa nga nya ako at sabi nya gusto nya raw makapunta sa dream destination nya with his dream girl (luh? kilig ka na nyan?) Nag-usap rin kami tungkol sa work, yung dream course nung college na di na-pursue. Tas sabi pa nya meet kami one time at i-treat nya raw ako ng ramen sa molits. Tas pag nagtuluy-tuloy na maging okay sa chat, malay daw namin maging foodtrip at travel buddy kami. Nagssend sya update pag sobrang busy sa work nya, nagssorry pa nga sya pag di sya agad nakakareply at naiintindihan ko naman yun, sabi ko di nya kelangan mag-sorry. nagssend rin sya pic or vid clip kung nasan sya or pag nakauwi na- natuwa ako sa pic and vid updates nya kahit di ko naman hiningi sa knya yun. Ilang days after, sabi ko add nya 'ko sa fb since di talaga ako ig person haha e di yun, friends na kami sa fb. Tuloy ang kwentuhan at update sa isa't-isa. Tas dahil natuwa ako sa knya, binigyan ko sya ng binake kong carrot cake at dinesignan kong ramen. Maeffort at di naman ako madamot sa mga taong feel kong love ako at sincere sa'kin. Sabi nya bawi daw sya ng ramen, sabi ko okay lang naman pero kung i-insist nya okay lang din (kasi gusto ko talaga sya makita in person). Tas days passed by, naging short na replies nya, parang cold na yung dating. Inisip ko nga sobrang busy na nya siguro sa work- wala naman akong problem dun kung maging career man sya or workaholic. Yung huling message ko sa knya na papasok na ulit ako sa work, sineen lang ako. Hanggang sa lumipas yung days and 4 months na walang chat. Tas kahapon nag story sya ng girl. Oo, naging happy naman ako sa time na kausap ko sya pero sana as respect na lang na nagsabi ka ng kung ano mang reason mo hindi yung ganun na isi-seen mo lang ako. Hindi ako galit pero naiinis ako sa ginawa nya. Worth it pa ba na sabihin ko sentiment ko sa knya?

I live in a neighborhood where there’s a bunch of door-to-door salespeople that come by. Usually I tell them no through my nest doorbell camera, but one guy wouldn’t leave and wouldn’t take no for an answer. He stated that there was a 30-day free trial for Brinks Home Security and I wouldn’t have to pay anything and at least he would get paid. I just wanted him to leave, so I stupidly agreed. When I went to go cancel it, I was told there’s no such thing as a free trial with them, and now I’m stuck in a 36 month contract laying $75/mo or pay $2k to buy out the contract. I can’t afford it, especially since I just gave birth and haven’t been back to work yet. I talked to a supervisor and he said the best he can do is to take off the first month’s payment, which he did not do. I took off my payment info so that they don’t charge me again, but they keep calling me over and over again. I emailed the CEO and he said someone will call me, but I don’t know how well that will go. My husband says I should just not pay it. They’ll send it to collections and it’ll mess up my credit, but it’ll fall off in a couple years. Since we aren’t buying anything anytime soon, he says it doesn’t matter it my credit isn’t good right now. He’s concerned that the holes they made to install the cameras are going to allow water into the foundation.

Trigger warning para sa mga judgemental. Im at low, please mellow down lang kung mahilig ka mambash. Pasensya na sa pagkakaayos ng thoughts. Basta type lang ako ng type.
Achiever ako sa school since elementary. Typical nerd, lalo vibe ko noon. But kahit ganun, Ive never experienced getting bullied. Thankful din ako kasi close kami lahat ng batchmates ko especially nung HS (private at 2sections lang). Also experienced teenage love despite of my looks and general vibe. Komplikado ang lovelife ko haha up until nameet ko gf ko today. Di kayang ikwento dito sa same post kasi nga komplikado.
Anyway, gradually nagbago ako, naging confident, naging "normie". People see me as extremely confident and independent, not in a bad way, I think, kapag tinatanong ko iba, wala naman negative/hostile reaction. Wala ring chismis sooo yun. They seek my advices, both academic and with their personal life.
During my 3rd-4th yr HS up to professional doctorate, I lead groups sa certain projects / researches. Minsan, nakakapasok ako sa presidents list during my undergrad. No latin honors kasi tamad na ako nung last yr ko haha Sa past jobs/clerkships, same thing. Pero tbh, I dont like my profession but not to the point of hating it. Its just, theres no love.
Pero bakit yun kinuha ko? Chain of events, lack of real interest during my 4th year HS at agenda na isang sakay lang ang UPD from espana (umasa na magkabalikan kami ng 1st ex ko nung HS). Bakit ko pa tinuloy into doctorate? Akala ko maappreciate ko na sya finally, pero it leads me deeper sa hole.
People tend to overestimate me, including my family. Like sobrang OA, pero I always refute yung mga ganung remarks. May time na nagagalit ako sa ganung remarks.
I finished my doctorate 2019, nagpahinga ako saglit kasi burnt out sobra. May time na makakauwi ako ng bahay around 8pm, dinner lang, ligo at gagawa na ng case study up until 3am, bihis and prepare para by 4-4:30am makasakay na ng UV at umabot ng 7am class (Im from north caloocan, border na kami ng meycuayan, ang school ko sa gil puyat makati pa). Di ko afford mag dorm that time kasi pinapaaral ko din kapatid ko. 2hrs tulog, sa UV at tren. Pag umalis ako ng 5, wala na. 10 na ako makakarating. Tangina ng makati. Factory ng tao.
Fast forward 2020, pandemic hits. Actually hopeful ako during the 1st quarter kasi natanggap ako as prof sa sikat na uni. Start na ako dapat ng June2020, then the worst came. I got so depressed I technically ghosted my job, 1week before the start of class. I literally lied sa dean kung bakit di ko matutuloy. My gf, partner ko parin until now, able to convinced me to seek psychiatric help. Dentist sya kaya kahit papano may background sya sa depression etc. September 2020, diagnosed ako with Bipolar.
Sabi, pwedeng yun ang cause ng pabago bago or lack of real plan sa future. Sobrang hirap kasi one moment sobrang confident ka sa plans mo and all then after a few months, mawawala na parang bula.
2021, we put up a small pharmacy while sya nagclinic as dentist during M-W. So-so lang, pero I cant find happiness sa ginagawa ko. Parang bumabalik na naman ako sa 2020. I cant help but think. Malaking factor ang shitty bipolar sa kung anong sitwasyon ko ngayon. Paano kaya kung wala ako nun, everything could be normal. Everything might work out just fine. My friends contact me very rarely, napagod na ako na lagi ako ang nag iinitiate. They think na sobrang busy ko kahit sinasabi ko na hindi. Na super serious ko sa career. HS batchmates, ekis na. Related sa lovelife ko nga haha My partner nalang nakakausap at nakakabonding ko and my family. Theyre important pero iba rin yung kaibigan. Alam mo yun. Sobrang lungkot lang. My partner really really tries her best to compensate, lalabas kami to do fun things. Bakasyon. Isama ako with her friends. Sobrang appreciate ko ang effort nya. Pero, basta
I might add as edit if kung may maisip pa akong idagdag.

My boyfriend and I have been together since we were 16. We're doing good naman and he's currently in canada, so LDR. Bali 6 years together sa lupa na tapos 4 years na nag ldr. I'm fine naman, i do miss him pero nasasanay nalang and I'm busy with my business. I looked at at our relationship as my opportunity to grow on my own.
So a friend is getting married and we went partying in a high end place. Bali bar hopping and club hopping ganun. The last time I did this was sophomore year in college. Years ago. So iba pa yung isip ko and crowd ko noon. I'm not the type of person who frequents these kinds of places.
While most of my single friends are getting flirty and touchy with some of the guys in the club, i was able to pull of a decent conversation with this guy. No touchy thing and stuff. Just talking and this guy was so interested in me kahit sinabi ko na I'm in a relationship. He kept on asking for my number and ig pero deactivated ako sa IG. I just told him to follow my friend na pretty and single and hahanapin ko nalang sya kung gusto ko sya mahanap.
I didn't gave away a single thing to this guy, only my name.I felt guilty already by just talking to him tho even tho we were just asking each other about our lives. No flirty shit. He's a gentleman compared to those guys my friends randomly flirted with that night 🤣. So in the morning i stalked him and damn this guy was decently rich and he was so genuinely interested at me that night.. I'm not pretty pretty ha, average lang ako and there were other girls in the club that he could pull off easily na beauty queen level. So maybe, it's my career what made him interested in me? My personality? Hahahaha. Yun lang ang mapapagyabang ko. Strong independent woman ganon.
So na realize ko lang, did entering a relationship at the age of 16 is making my world small? Did commiting to early at that age is a limitation?
Don't get me wrong, i love my boyfriend. But sometimes the finances part can get draining. I was a "sugar mommy" for awhile before he moved to Canada,, ngayon naman he sends me gifts pero most of the times I have to ask for it. I'm aware im financially well off than him and it doesn't bother me. Pero napaisip lang ako ano pakiramdam ng ma spoil like my friends hahhaa. Yung pakiramdam na same level kayo ng partner mo sa finaces. Alam ko micro cheating na tong pag iisip na to.
Anyway, go tell me guys your opinion. This has been bothering me.

Hello! My name is Sav, and I am a fairly experienced roleplayer who's been RPing and writing for 10+ years! I'm 30, and I really want to get back into the hobby. Do you like writing with someone who loves fandoms, angst and is super excited to get to know you??? I might just be the person for you! I've recently come off a pretty bad mental health moment -- So if you've reached out before please do so again! I'm back!!
A little about me: I'm a long-winded writer and I appreciate length in my RPs -- I usually respond with multiple paragraphs, but I can adjust to match my partner. I prefer more than one or two line replies! I am pretty busy on the regular (job, personal life, etc.) but can promise at least one response a day!
I also love to plot and chat outside of our roleplay, so some (a lot of) OOC chatting is something you can expect from me. I prefer playing female characters and I am open to FxF, FxNB or MxF ships! I am open to lots of different genres, plots and ideas after discussion and plotting! I'm only RPing over Discord at the moment -- It's clean and easy and it makes sense to me. I'm definitely also open to doubling and playing multiple characters.
What I hope for from you: A multi-paragraph RP style with some OOC chatting! Willing to plot and chat with me, maybe even you're just excited about our plots as I am! Willing to play a character of any gender against a female character from me! Be over 21 (I am not comfortable roleplaying with someone under 21!). Has Discord. Is cool and friendly. :)
What I hope for our RP: I'm interested primarily in RPing a storyline from or based upon the BioShock games and universe. I am not currently interested in any other fandom or ideas. Here's what I'm looking for!
-
Rapture Timeline (Pre-games, BioShock 1, BioShock 2) I am either interested in playing a canon character or an OC. I'm really interested in doing a storyline before the "fall" of Rapture, that maybe moves into the war and the subsequent nightmare scenario Rapture becomes.
I do have an OC -- Josie, an accomplished recruited lifestyle journalist brought to Rapture by Ryan as a prominent force for society & culture documentation... She's meant to be writing glowing articles about Rapture's best and brightest, but she seems to write little more than a gossip rag these days. In the search for a more meaningful story, she is going to start to uncover more and more about Rapture's true nature. If you're interested in her, she's here! I can also brainstorm other OCs, but I'm primarily interested in working with this one.
Below are the "ships" I am interested in exploring during this vague timeline. I have bolded the character I would like to play! These are super specific but this is where I'm at right now! I am open to doubling if there's a ship you'd like to explore that isn't on my list.
Brigid Tenenbaum x Frank Fontaine/Atlas Definitely interested in exploring this interesting and potentially incredibly toxic ship. Either looking for something before the war -- perhaps when Brigid is working for Fontaine Futuristics. Or looking for something during the war or after, where Brigid meets Atlas... Very interested in seeing how that goes down!
Brigid Tenenbaum x Sofia LambFor this I mostly see something pre-civil war. Perhaps Lamb wasn't always the zealot she was. Perhaps Brigid and Sofia found something in common living in male-dominated Rapture. Who knows!
Brigid Tenenbaum x OC The world is our oyster here! Got ideas?? Bring 'em on!
Eleanor Lamb x OC This would need to take place post-BioShock 2. I don't have any solid ideas, I just love Eleanor and would love to play her. A chance for us to plot!
OC x OC Obviously completely down to play OCs! My OC mentioned earlier, Josie, a journalist, is my primary OC for BioShock. Definitely interested in something that starts before the war or in the middle of it -- And explores how characters we obviously didn't see in the game are managing to survive.
There are other things I might be interested in exploring! Tbh I am very willing to play any of the following: Brigid Tenenbaum, Eleanor Lamb, Diane McClintock, Jasmine Jolene, even an OC! I also really love the dynamic between Jack and Brigid Tenenbaum, so a non-ship RP there could be fun. So any idea you might have, feel free to toss it my way!
-
Columbia Timeline (Pre-game, BioShock Infinite) I am mostly interested in playing a canon character, and exploring some alternate timelines or moments in the game. This one is a lot more vague, and I'm a little less interested in Infinite, but I thought I would mention it nonetheless.
I don't even have any particular ships to mention, but I would like the chance to play Elizabeth. I just adore her. She's my preference -- But I could be persuaded to flesh out a Vox Populi OC.
-
I hope someone out there is in the mood for a BioShock roleplay and will reach out! Looking forward to hearing from you! :)
Edited for spacing!

Hey all, M19 British Columbia Canada, basically got hit with a bit of a reality check over the past few months. I am currently in a program for a BFA in Creative Writing with a minor in business. I know this sounds stupid but I assumed that I would be able to find a job easier in something like administration with a year of uni under my belt but I am now up to 80 job applications, with around 25-40% being more normal minimum wage sort of jobs but still haven't recieved anything back.
​
This all lead me to a realization that I do not want to be one of the many people with a BFA who finds themselves as a barista at 35 still saying they will make it one day. As such, I am trying to find skills or a certification etc that I can pursue while still in school for a BFA, since it is ultimately the thing that interests me the most and I would like to see it through and improve my craft.
​
Ultimately remote work is something I will ideally have to do, I don't live in a large population city and so job oppurtunities are limited. Whatever job I end up having as a backup/secondary to the arts I would ideally like to pay 60K~ with ideally oppurtunites to up around 100-120K, higher than that is useless for me.
​
One of the things that is making it hard for me to find another path to pursue is that I do not want to go back to school. This is a line in the sand for me, I do not want to get a BFA only to go right back into school for another degree. Another problem I had was that I could find interest in a lot of jobs, from watch repair to lighthouse keeper to finance, programming and electrician. I spent some time though and took an extensive career aptitude test which told me the following jobs (I've omitted anything that is in the arts): security engineer, budget analyst, cybercrime investigator, information security, data analyst and a few programming jobs like security software developer, javascript developer and full stack developer. Overall I would say finance and programming are the two most interesting sectors.
​
I've thought about being an electrician in the past, but have heard that it is the easiest trade and as such is oversaturated so:
​

1. Anyone have any experience with any of the above jobs that can shed some light?
2. What certifications, skills or courses should I be looking at?

Hi antiworkPH, nag babalak ako mag resign sa current work ko in IT security field. Bale pioneer ako sa job ko and wala talagang process nung nag simula ako specially nung napupuno kame ng database. Ako lahat gumawa and nag improve ng process. Inaral ko mga open source na bigdata softwares, scripts and inimplement ko sila which sobrang nakatulong sa work namen as in 90%.
Ang issue ko is natapos na yung wfh era, back to office na naman and ayun mga "boss" work from home parin and minsan nag wfh ako na di ako nag paalam kase may rush report yung boss ko saken and sa bahay ko ginawa shempre nasermonan ako kase need daw sa office for "monitoring" parin(kase wala syang ibang mareason, I am already team lead level) kahit na rush man daw yung pinapagawa nya mag OT nalang daw ako or gawin ko nalang kauwi ko kaya dapat di na ako nag wwfh. Which toxic logic para saken kasi sila mismo na mano mano ginagawa yung report hindi sila papasok kasi hindi daw natatapos trabaho nila kaya wfh privilege sila kuno.
Ngayon nag hahanap nako ng ibang company na nag pprovide ng wfh. Iniisip ko yung iiwanan na team mates ko and process nila kase hindi ko shinare source codes ng scripts and hindi rin sila ganon ka advance para magets yung automations ko. Diko alam kung hihingin ng boss ko yung mga yon kase ayoko din sakanya ibigay.
P.S. Once lang ako nag tanong sa boss ko and sagot nya saken secret or google mo. Break it and fix it ginawa ko sa whole stay ko. Sariling sikap lang ng research to the point na mas madami pa ako naiambag and yung boss ko mismo hindi na nya naiintindihan ginagawa ko. Pero nakakapag provide ako ng reports kung kailan man nya gusto instantly. Sya lang late mag inform na kailangan na pala last 2 weeks pa yung report.
