I fucking hate the living, food, money situation we're in. Why was I hopeful? My own family's fucking doubtful of my goals even with planning and researching. We can't even afford small mozzarella cheese or something simple. And others are suffering worse so it's not like I get to be upset, either. - ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Sorry things aren't going well, but you are absolutely to be upset. Your struggles and your frustrations are just as valid as anyone else's, so don't tell yourself otherwise. Truly hope things turn around for you.

I can't even fully show how I feel since my mother will feel bad and then my sister will get second-hand stress. We don't even have rooms just one only so I can't even hide and separate myself from everyone else for long. Thank you, though.

Ah fuck... know how that can feel. Not to the same extent it sounds like, but that's a big emotional burden being pushed on you. It's not much, but you're not gonna get any judgment from me.

I'm so sorry to hear about all these, Corn. There's nothing wrong with being upset about your living conditions. Your frustrations are as valid as everyone else's.

I genuinely hope everything turns out better on your end. As bleak as all hope may seem, I believe you'll get through this.

Thanks, Aloof. Thank you so much. I wanna get a job, ideally late afternoon to/or night shift and work from home. Don't know Tagalog yet but I want to someday. I remember you mentioning working a few times. Any tips and advice you wish you knew when you got your first job?

Can't really recommend much other than being aggressive when it comes to submitting application forms to potential companies. Don't stop applying for jobs. The market here is very cut-throat so you always need to be on the lookout for any and all opportunities.

What I can recommend is to try and look at BPO companies. They don't really pay a lot but working for them could get you by in your daily life. Most of them usually employ under night shifts due to having overseas clients (different time zones) so that should probably fit your time criteria.

Also, if you already have an asking salary in mind don't let employers haggle you over it. Be firm. PH companies are always in a constant competition on whoever gets to pay their employees the least, so at the very least make sure you don't get lowballed. Always double check your contract btw.

As for a work-from-home setup, getting one is the ideal dream now. Almost every workplace here forces everyone to go to offices now and I hate it so bad. Daily travel to work and back in this country takes so much time and energy out of me.

I hope you get lucky in this regard. WFH supremacy!
