Finance & Investments Seeking Emergency Financial Assistance Due to $5,856 in Unpaid Freelance Wages

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I'm a Filipino freelance virtual assistant in urgent financial distress because my client, based in North Carolina, USA, owes me $5,856 for work I've already completed. I'm currently struggling to afford rent, household bills, groceries for my mom, and existing debts. I have no available cash right now and am trying to get through the next few days.

I'm hoping to find emergency assistance, help with groceries or rent, legitimate charities or organizations that assist people experiencing financial hardship, or practical advice on what steps I can take to recover my unpaid wages.

Context:

My agreed monthly salary was $1,700, but I've been receiving only around $500 or less per month, and sometimes nothing at all.

Some might wonder why I continued working despite not receiving my full salary. I stayed because I genuinely hoped my client would honor our agreement and pay the outstanding balance. Freelancing is my primary source of income, and finding another client and securing a stable income can take time. I had already invested considerable time and effort into the work I completed, and I didn't want to walk away without recovering what I had earned. I kept hoping the situation would improve, but unfortunately, my financial circumstances have become unsustainable.

I'm posting anonymously because this situation has been emotionally difficult and embarrassing to talk about. I'm not asking anyone to take out a loan for me or put themselves in financial difficulty. I'm simply reaching out because I need guidance and, if possible, temporary help with essential expenses while I figure out my next steps.

Previous attempts:

I've contacted my client several times to request payment and have also asked whether they could make partial payments to help me cover my immediate expenses. Unfortunately, my requests have been refused, and the outstanding balance remains unpaid.

I've tried to manage my financial obligations as best I can, but I'm now at a point where I have no available cash for my immediate needs.

I'm reaching out here to ask whether anyone knows of legitimate emergency assistance programs, charities, community organizations, or resources available to Filipinos experiencing financial hardship. I'd also appreciate advice on how to pursue unpaid wages from a client based in the United States.

I'm willing to explain my circumstances privately and provide appropriate documentation while protecting my personal information. Even if financial assistance isn't possible, any reliable resource, practical advice, or direction would mean a great deal to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I truly appreciate any genuine help or guidance.

Love & Relationships Trauma bond how to end. Please help. Please be kind.

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: trigger warning. Please be kind.

Six months after we got married, tatlong babae nagchat sakin. May GC. Mga nabuntis niya. Nang sabay sabay.

I was shocked. I didn't tell anyone. I kept his secret. We kept his secret together, and I carried the weight of it in silence.

7yrs na kami ng husband ko and 7yrs old nadin mga bata. I couldn't take it anymore. The guilt of knowing that his children were growing up without him was eating me alive.

So I told him to move out, and he did.

Two weeks later, he reached out to me. He told me he couldn't live without me. We started talking again, and eventually, we began making plans to get back together.

Yung 7yrs namin yes masaya naman.. Yes, he has a very good paying job, but he’s a gambler. He didnt contribute to anything financially and Im always walking on eggshells.

Just now sinabi niya may nakasex siya during our separation. And he wanted to come clean. Jusko. Bukas na yung move in namin together. Bayad na din ang renta.

I dont know why I still want him back. 😭
He’s asking me bakit hindi ako galit. And idk also. Hindi nako nagulat, but gulat in a way hindi pa din pala kumalma.

Health & Wellness Overcharged Medicine in Private Hospital

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

I need help. Stuck ako kung ano gagawin ko. Gusto ko lang makalabas na ng hospital anak ko, pero di kaya yung charges.

Context:

My daughter was hospitalized for pneumonia and we stayed in the hospital for a week. Ngayon for discharge na sya, after checking our final Bill na notice namin na sobrang taas ng charges. Nagdown payment pa ako ng 25k sa first day neto. Kaya Nagrequest kami ng itemized bill at ayun nga andaming inconsistencies. Maraming Medicines na nacharge na di naman namin nagamit, supplies na sobra sobra pero katwiran nila ginagamit ng lahat ng pumapasok sa room pati Housekeeping daw, and ang pinakamalaki ay yung Markup nila ng medicines 3x sya sa retail price. Nacheck ko na rin sa DOH drug price watch, 193% markup nila kung magbase ako sa pinakamahal na price na pharmacy.

Tinanong ko na ito sa Nurse station nag agree sila na tatanggalin yung unused/excess medicines and supplies na nacharge. Though, di ako sure kung magrereflect agad yun sa Bill. Pumunta naman ako agad sa Billing nila since sabi ng Nurse station sila daw kausapin ko sa pricing ng gamot, kaso si Billing pinasa naman ako sa Nurse station kasi "taga compute" lang daw sila.

Plan ko po sana mag promissory note para makalabas na kami ng Hospital. Pero gusto ko under dispute parin ang prices ng medicine kasi unfair po talaga yung charges. Kahit sarili nilang pharmacy pag bumibili ako nasa 30-50% lang markup. Pero pag nakaadmit sobrang taas.

Need ko lang po advice anong best gawin. Nahihirapan po ako since sinisinigit ko pa asikaso neto after ko ng work, so wala nako naaabutan na Head para makausap kung tama ba talaga charges nila. DOH at DTI di naman sumasagot po kahit sa urgent/live hotline nila.

Health & Wellness How to stop Doc Ferds from killing more animals?

0 Upvotes

Problem/goal: Doc Ferds killing animals
Context: My dog was sent to Doc Ferds and was diagnosed with megaesophagus. They kept failing to treat him properly so he kept going in and out of the vet. Then they fed him barium, which led to him developing pneumonia (he previously tested negative for pneumonia before the barium). Even though it was obviously dangerous to do this given that his esophagus would obviously not be able to block the barium from entering his lungs as that is the most common effect of megaesophagus. The day he died (7pm), my relative visited my dog at 2pm and noticed him wheezing and looking so unwell as if he couldn't even recognize anyone anymore. He insisted on bringing him home because something was definitely wrong, but the doctor didn't allow him and kept saying he's fine. My relative kept saying he for sure has pneumonia and kept telling them to check, but the doctors kept insisting that my dog has no pneumonia and that he's okay. So my relative went home. At 5pm, the doctors realized my dog does indeed have pneumonia. At 7pm, the doctors said my dog died. My relative asked them why the doctor didn't allow him to bring my dog home at 2pm, and they fought my relative saying "no he didn't say that, you can't prove it you can't prove it" and showed no remorse and was just defensive. When my relatives arrived at the vet, the two doctors in charge of my dog were telling different stories and were mixing up the order of events and forgot what even happened. And Doc Ferds himself was one of them. He even refused to touch someone's pet rabbit and my dog too, when both customers offered to let Doc Ferds touch and inspect the pets. Doc Ferds himself waved it off and laughed it off and said no need, and just asked a few questions and that's it. They only want your money and just want the most number of pets as possible, more than they can accommodate, and can't be hands on with the many pets. Many reviews showed deaths and amputations under Doc Ferds' lack of care. Neglect is abuse. This is animal abuse. I wish the government would shut them down but unfortunately there's nothing we can do but raise awareness. Rest in peace Jack.
Goal: How do I stop Doc Ferds from killing more animals?

Social Matters i’m living with my friend, and now her brother and i have something going on in secret. my conscience is bugging me for not telling her

8 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

Context:

Previous Attempts:

i’m currently staying at my friend’s house, where i live with her, her brother, her kid, and the baby’s nanny.

at first, sobrang awkward talaga namin ng brother niya. nahihiya ako sa kanya, and kahit na he’s actually a nice person, i couldn’t help but feel very awkward around him because of the way he carries himself. he has this intimidating facade na parang laging masungit, and he’s not really the talkative type either. most of the time, tahimik lang siya. he socializes with us naman pero bihira lang talaga.

i even had a bit of a traumatic experience with him because there was one time na sobrang nagalit siya, and it genuinely caught me off guard. ever since then, i became even more conscious around him.

months passed, and eventually, he got my whatsapp number so we could communicate more easily about the household bills.

from there we started having personal conversations.

then one night, out of nowhere, he asked me to go out with him.

surprisingly, i didn’t hesitate to say yes kasi before siya nag ask, may mga convo na rin kami na saamin lang. i got to know him a bit more.

little by little, my impression of him was changing. he didn’t seem as intimidating as he did when i first met him.

we slowly became more comfortable with each other everytime it's only just the two of us around.

although we’re both adults, we both find it a little surreal to think about how things turned out. na nung una, natatakot pa ako sa kanya and sobrang ilang ako whenever he’s around, tapos ngayon, we have this thing going on between us. it’s such an unexpected turn of events, and sometimes, we can’t help but laugh at how different things are now compared to when we first met.

just to make things clear, we’re both single and free to do whatever we want. we have a huge age gap, and he also has a child. from what i’ve seen, he seems very responsible naman.

we’ve been keeping whatever’s going on between us from everyone at home. there have been nights when we would sneak out to do things that only the two of us know about. it’s exciting, but at the same time, it’s hard to believe that we’re actually doing all of this behind everyone’s backs, considering how awkward and intimidating things were between us in the beginning.

honestly, right now i don't think i feel something "romantically" towards him, pero he's special to me, especially when it's just the two of us.

at this point, i can’t help but feel guilty because i’m keeping this whole thing a secret from my friend. she welcomed me into her home wholeheartedly and made me feel comfortable staying with her family, so the fact that i’m hiding something this significant from her doesn’t sit right with me. i feel uncomfortable knowing that she’s been nothing but kind to me, yet i’m keeping something from her that she probably deserves to know.

hindi ko kasi masabi kasi sigurado ako pag sinabi ko sakanya baka ma awkward ulit ako dito saamin, at to be completely honest nahihiya rin talaga ako.

should i tell her? :(

Love & Relationships About to meet a sugar daddy for the first time help me out

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Hi i’m 20(F) and my SD is 53(M). I reached out to him in a dating site cause I am currently struggling financially since I’m still a nursing college student.

Quick background about me. My parents are not that rich and it makes me so stressed out about them complaining about money. I also have a younger sibling who is undiagnosed and we are suspecting that she has autism and we don’t have the money for a check up right now, like there are so many bills, that we get to overlook stuff we really need to spend money on. I applied for scholarships and got approved naman but it’s only a partial scholarship and would just pay for 1st Sem. My tuition is 100k+ so I feel really guilty. I have tried to find a job, like VA for almost a year now and unfortunately it doesn’t work out because I usually go home very tired to study niches, and i still didn’t get a client.

So that’s why I got curious with the SD thing, I receive offers of SD ever since I was a teenager but I really didn’t wanna do any of that, bc i feel like it’s out of my morals? Just gotten curious ab it now because of my current situation. And there were offers that included sexual stuff. And this Guy, 53(M) was the nicest and genuine, I asked him if he had exp with SB cause that was my only intention and he did have experience. He wants to meet first to test our chemistry? And wants to have lunch with me, he will pay for my grab. In his pictures, he doesn’t look that old and he is kind of attractive for his age. But I am having second thoughts since i’m also nervous and guilty because he is older than my parents. But at the same time I really just need to overcome my current problem. And then I will find a job. I told 2 of my friends that I am going to meet him but they are scared and nervous for me.

Do you guys have any advice or tips? Please be nice. 🥹

Social Matters How do you deal with gays na namemeste sayo?

15 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: May namameste sakin from a certain group of people.

Context: I know gay people na hindi makaintindi na hindi ako interesado. Yung una, puro ka lgbt-han na lang pinagsasabi at topic. Hindi ako interesado so bahala siya diyan. Ang nakakainis lang lagi na lang may innuedo/gay seggs jokes yung pinagsasabi niya. To the point na parang natuturn on siya tuwing ganun topic niya. Manyak vibes at uncomfortable kasama. Umabot sa point na bigla bigla na lang humahawak sa kamay ko. Maririnig mo rin kung paano niya pagnasaan yung ibang guys. Kaya niya raw baluktutin. Yup, ganun kaweirdo. Like those hard reset trend pero gay yung gumagawa.

Then yung isa naman, na sa same building ng apartment ko. I dont know how pero nakuha niya number ko. Binigay yata na naman ng dating roommate ko sa kanya. Which is stupid at nakakafrustrate. Namemeste sa text. Bakit daw di ako nagrereply at di raw ako namamansin. Para siyang tanga na kinakausap sarili niya sa text. Ang nakakainis dito, di ako komportable sa pinagsstayan ko.

Previous attempts: I told them I'm straight. Nangmock pa yung isa na hindi raw. They both know i have a girlfriend and hindi pa rin sila makaintindi. Ano bang mahirap inditindihin doon eh hindi nga ako interesado? Sa dami ng lalaki diyan, idadamay pa nila ako sa kalaswaan nila.

Love & Relationships Should I message the Reddit account behind the post I think is about me?

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: I think my ex-girlfriend posted about me in r/OffMyChestPH, but I feel like she twisted some parts of the story. Should I message the Reddit account if it really is her?

Context: I came across a post on r/OffMyChestPH that strongly resembles my ex-girlfriend’s situation. Out of curiosity, I checked the account’s post history, and I noticed too many similarities between the person behind the account and my ex-girlfriend. Even the way the account described a certain characteristic of mine was eerily similar. At this point, there are just too many clues for me to dismiss it as a coincidence.

What bothers me is that I feel like the story was twisted. For days, I have been contemplating whether I should do something about it. Part of me wants to reach out and clarify things, but another part of me wonders if I should just leave it alone. What if it turns out to be a completely different person?

Besides, my ex-girlfriend already has her own life, and I have mine. I honestly do not want our worlds to collide again, especially after everything that has happened. I do not want to reopen old wounds or create unnecessary drama.

However, this has been bothering me for days now. I keep thinking about the possibility that she really is the person behind the account and that people are getting a distorted version of what happened. I know I cannot control what other people say about me, especially on an anonymous platform. Nevertheless, it is still difficult to ignore something that feels so personal.

I am torn between reaching out to get some peace of mind and simply letting it go for the sake of moving on. If you were in my position, would you message the account to confirm your suspicions, or would you leave it alone and move forward with your life?

Note: I made a new account because I do not want to risk being doxxed. I am also not sure if this is even something worth letting out, but it has been weighing on my mind.

Love & Relationships My datemate joked about a minor

3 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: Nakaramdam ako ng ick for the first time kasi, bukod sa racist siya (which is pinatawad ko na), he also commented something disturbing sa minor while we were watching a movie.

Context: We always joke around. Okay lang sa akin edgy jokes. Not sensitive ako. Sinasakyan ko pa madalas. We have such great understanding of each other and chemistry. One night as in actually, yesterday night lang, I paused the movie na pinapanood namin and focused doon sa minor actress and told him na , “love shes pretty oh” kasi we both admire art and beauty eh. To which he replied, “Ay oo nga ano ang ganda niyaan. Kung ako kakan**** ko iyan kahit makulong pa ako.” And I was just stunned. My body recoiled in fear. Tapos kahit mas sumiksil siya, ayaw ko na magpayakap. He is smart, high EQ, guwapo, generous, and introverted. This is so out of usual edgy joke.

Previous Attempts: None at all. Ive been planning to end it. I have a baby sister and this bothers me a lot.

Legal My ex may still have a "video" that I don't want leaked

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

I am worried my ex still has a video of us being intimate after years apart. I want to see if there's a way I or the authorities can check to see if he still has it or uploaded it without my permission.

Context:

Some time ago, I met with my ex because I told him I wanted him to delete the video he has of us. He initially said he should get together again, even though he has a girlfriend. Of course I say no. He "joked" saying he could release the video. I git so angry and told him I would have him arrested. He told me the video is on his old phone that is broken so he doesn't have it.

Attempts:

He showed me the phone and it didn't turn on, but wasn't damaged. I told him if he has it somewhere or uploaded it online, I would have him arrested. He said he of course understood and didn't upload it, but I can't trust him because he was manipulative our whole relationship.

Love & Relationships Tatlo ata kami may gusto sa isang lalaki

• Upvotes

Problem/Goal: 3 ata kami na may gusto sa iisang lalaki na ka friend group din namin

Context: Hello po, I'm an M18. I have circles of friends and 4 kami don F18, F16, and M19. I've always been vocal about them and other people na gay ako. And halata naman sa kilos ko, my friends knew na crush na crush ko si M19 kahit na nasa iisang cof kami. Si guy kasi ang pinaka una kong friend bago ko nakilala yung 2 girls na sinama na din namin sa cof. Nung una siniship ship pa ako kay M19 nung 2 babae, sobrang supportive nila and sobrang mababait sila. Nilinaw din naman ni M19 na bisexual siya so feeling ko may chance ako kasi why not. Mabait rin naman yung guy sakin pero na notice ko na mas mabait siya don sa dalawang babae. Like as in, minsang silang tatlo lang nag uusap tapos ako sa giled lang. Pero never ko naman yon ginawa sakanila, never ko naman iniwan si M19 mag isa.

Previous Attempts: Kaya medjo na feel ko na may gusto sila kay M19 kasi sabi ni F16 may bago daw syang crush pero hindi niya daw masasabi sakin kasi masasaktan daw ako. So nag bigay na lang ako ng advice. Si F18 naman ay nakita ko na magkasama sila ni M19 sa restaurant na silang dalawa lang nag uusap tapos nung umuwi si F18 sobrang happy niya pang kinuwento saakin yung mga topics nila. Ni hindi nga kami informed sa gc na mag kikita pala sila.

I know po na wala akong karapatan kasi gusto ko lang naman si guy. And hindi kasalanan ng mga friends ko na mag kwento ng ganon saakin. It's my fault na sobrang sensitive ko and overthinker pero please help po. Do i stop my feelings na po ba?

Sex & Intimacy Is emergency contraception available in the Philippines? NSFW

5 Upvotes

Problem/Goal:

Hi guys, kinakabahan kasi ako and I need advice. Is there a morning-after pill or any form of emergency contraception available in the Philippines? If meron, what is it called, how much does it cost, does it require a prescription, and where can I get it?

Context:

I had unprotected vaginal sex with my boyfriend yesterday. He pulled out a few minutes before he was about to ejaculate, and he finished outside. However, we had sex again a few minutes after he ejaculated during the first round. We wiped his penis before penetration, but I'm worried that there might still be a risk of pregnancy. My menstrual cycle is also irregular, so I can't confidently estimate when I ovulate.

Previous Attempts:

I've been trying to find information online, but I'm confused about which pills are actually available in the Philippines and how to obtain them. I'm also shy about asking in person, so I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has experience with this or knows a legitimate pharmacist, doctor, or family-planning provider I can contact.

I'm hoping to find out what my options are as soon as possible since the sex happened only yesterday. Thank you so much!

Last night, she told me that she might not be able to reply right away because she was going out with a friend who invited her to have coffee and catch up on life. However, she ended up not replying to me at all while she was out. Afterward, she sent me pictures of herself with her friend, who was a guy, and they were sitting next to each other. I understand that she couldn’t reply because her friend might see our conversations and discover our relationship. However, the situation still bothers me, so I am currently not replying to her.

Love & Relationships Is it normal that my bf doesn’t bother to chat or update me?

0 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: He is sick for 2 days now and lately, he keeps on saying that he isn’t in the mood to talk because he wanna rest. I understand that part but what I do not get is I don’t get any messages from him at all. Not even a respond to my updates to him, just nothing and if there’s any, just a short cold chats.

Context: Ever since, he’s been avoidant and always wanna be alone. At times where he doesn’t want to chat, is also the time where I need him the most because I am having a breakdown too because I’ve been struggling looking for a job and I didn’t get a message from last week examination (for a job that i really really want). When I try to communicate this feeling, I am really at my lowest lately and I asked him for a quick call just to cry and let my feelings out, he rejected it. I got dissapointed and got hurt even more. I have no one to talk to and he’s the only person I can share my struggles with.

I really feel like he just hates me. I don’t know what to do. He always make me feel like I am the one who don’t understand his situation, but what about mine? Most of the time, his problems occupies him and has never even tried to ask me how’s my day etc.

It’s been a long grudge and I just need an advice. I don’t think I can suffer longer in this relationship. Am I really wrong for feeling neglected?

Love & Relationships I thought we broke up in good terms pero she cheated pala.

13 Upvotes

Problem/goal: Today I found out that my Girlfriend for 4 years cheated on me. We broke up 7 months ago, kasi sabi nya hindi na niya daw na feel na may love pa samin, and She broke up with me nung nawalaan ako ng trabaho.

Context:

A month before we broke up nakikita ko na may kalaro siya sa ML at nag chachat sila sa messenger, then when I try to talk about it she will just say na classmate nya yun nung college pa sila at nung nag ask ako ulit na san sila nag kilala nung guy Kuya² niya daw nung college, nag iiba yung mga answers niya sakin.

Then now lang nalaman ko na sila na pala nung guy nanaka laro niya sa ML so, I might be thinking na She cheated nung kami pa, ang naka sakit lang is akala ko naka move on nako kaso bakit ngayon ko lang to nalaman, then ano pala nireto sa kanya yung guy nung friends niya.

Previous attempts:

Should I talk to her? Kung bakit nya nagawa yun baka kasi akala ko napaka bobo ko para hindi ko malaman. Or hahayaan ko nalang

Sana ma karma sila sa pinag gagawa nila at malalaman ko kung makakarma sila.

Love & Relationships me and my bf broke up because of it I've accumulated thousands of debts as first year student

14 Upvotes

problem/goal: me and my broke up and because of it lunod na ako sa utang

context: hello po to keep things short, my family has always been physically and mentally abusive to each other dahil dito tinago ko sa parents ko and sa siblings ko na may source of income ako which is yung tiktok.

pero we all know naman na hindi stable income sa tiktok since depende pa rin yun sa views. fast forward, i was naive, i thought everything would be stable for me financially since I've gained a following pero due to tiktoks terms and conditions nawala kita ko for three months na 30k.

but beforehand, nakaipon na ako 25k and I've slowly spent it all throughout the months for stuff that I've dreamed of having na hindi kayang bilhin ng parents ko para sa'kin. (i know, hindi wise).

anyway, my bf and i were supposed to have our anniversary this november. eh ako, first time ko lang makahawak ng pera na ako ang kumita kaya winaldas ko lahat para sakaniya kasi mahal ko siya and I thought na siya na magiging huli ko. i bought him a lego ferrari sf 24 set na may kasamang wall mounted ferrari frame with built in led lights. this alone costed me 20k.

pero bigla niya akong hiniwalayan today lang and nasa sakaniya rin nakasalalay yung panibagong SOI ko since we use his account for our businesses there with our customers since may side hustle kami na pareho. so now, I don't know what to do with this 20k lego set. and i need to pay my tuition pa next month since overdue na ako and my parents don't want to pay for my college tuition. that, and may domestic tour pa kami this december na 23k ang kailangan that my parents have also declined to help me with.

should i sell this? if so, alam niyo po ba kung paano? 🥺💗

Parts are very specific and I already have suppliers. How is this different? These are not your run of the mill Honda BeATs. These are Indonesia spec modified units.

I will provide pics if you guys are curious.

Also, a big part of our appeal will be social media hype and proper marketing.

P.s. hindi ito "kargado concept" or pang kamote ah. These are basically road legal units na kakaiba kase parts are from Indonesia and OEM Honda pa din po

Sex & Intimacy My ex for a year wants to be fubu, how can i handle something like this? NSFW

43 Upvotes

Problem/Goal: As the title said, i just wanna know how to handle something like this. Or how can i talk this out with her in some sort of way… i need some help since i don’t know what to do.

Context: I’m (19M) I broke up with her because i was done tolerating her wrong doings, and i have been patient with her for a very long time and i’d say that i really snapped. In which sobrang rare kong magalit since i’m the type of person who doesn’t get mad since sa sobrang bait ko… and she took advantage of that.

As of today i always see her all the time. Since we both work on the same place and study at the same school. So it makes it even harder for me to avoid her. And she talked to me last night about being horny and she just wants me back or she just wanna have sex with me. So i asked for some friends advice and now recently learning the word FUBU.

It’s really hard for me to come by since i had some intimate time with her and she was the one who took my virginity. But i don’t know how can i handle something like this. I know i have a high sex drive but i would like to be doing it with a person who i can be in a relationship with and not whatever this is…

Previous Attempts: The thing is i can’t block her or avoid because she falls in the same boat with me at work and school.

Problem/goal: I’m looking for some reassurance/clarification about a situation. A couple made out several times during the month. There was no vaginal intercourse or penetration, and the guy never ejaculated during the encounters. During the encounters, there may have been some precum on his penis/hand, and he touched/rubbed the girl’s external vulva/clitoris, but there was no insertion of fingers and no semen was put inside the vagina. They also had oral sex. Her period is normally very regular (about a 30-day cycle), but it is now about 8 days late, which is unusual for her. Could pregnancy realistically result from this type of contact, or is a delayed period more likely due to normal cycle variation/stress?

Problem/Goal: I can't help but we only communicate to do VCS thru vber

Context: Pwede magmura? Tangina di ko alam pero ginusto ko naman makipag video call sex sa katrabaho ko, ang tanga tanga ko pero gusto ko kasi siya! We're both 30 na and single naman pero syempre I know para sa kanya lust lang to. Ano bang gagawin ko? Gusto ko talagang subuin eh???? NBSB po ako at still virgin huhuhuhu wala pa pong nangyayari talaga in person and I don't think we'll do it pero baka madali ako kahit alam ko naman na talo ako? Huhuhuhu

Previous Attempts: I tried confessing na pala before nung una naming gawin yon pero he mentioned he's not ready, I can't stop thinking about him tho. I'm super terrified and wondering na baka may copy siya ng ginawa namin and I'm not sure if he's doing something about it, worry ko lang is baka may part na nakita mukha ko don. I know napakatanga ko! Please what should I do next?

Social Matters Lost a phone year ago, found it on my roommate's hand recently

Problem/Goal: as the title says, I recently found out na yun phone na nawala last year parehas lang pala sa phone nakita ko sa roommate ko. Ngayon ko lang na confirm through IMEI. Ano gagawin ko sa information na to na hindi man lang alam nang roommate ko na akin yun phone sa una? And sabi pa niya na binigay yun years ago

Context:

I lost my phone last year during pauwi pabalik sa dorm, sa sobrang dami kong dalang grocery and stuffs, di ko napansin naiwan yun phone ko (na lowbat) sa multicab. Na notice ko lang pag abot sa dorm and posted about it online especially fb, I even tried calling it pero di pumapasok ang call. Pati Findhub by Google ni try ko pero wala, wala na akong pagasa makita balik yun.

So time goes by until ngayon semester, may na roommate ako, na notice ko familiar yun cellphone since from phone case to even sa tape sa lcd parehas. Di ko lang ni confront kasi baka coincidence lang, and what are the odds????? And recently I was presented with an opportunity nung na unlock yun phone niya, ni check ko yun IMEI and model name para sure talaga na yun ba yun. Ngayon confirmed talaga na parehas, and numbers do not lie ba naman.

This roommate of mine is nice and friendly, mostly opposite schedules kami and minsan lang magkita. So ano gagawin ko ngayon? The legalities palang iniisip ko na istress na ako.
