Hello reskie22
I'm not sure of the question of the topic that you started. Are you asking what's our profession? Professional experiences? Give tips?

Same here. I'm confused. I guess we can ask questions here concerning our own jobs and hope that people in the same industry can help?

I would money.  Unfortunately, money does get things moving. 

Consider yourself lucky if you can make.money out of your passion. 

If we are being idealistic, we should choose passion. Realistically, choose money.

Then make enough money to pursue your passion, if you still have the time.

Half a bowl of lomi... Since I started my diet a week ago, I noticed that my capacity to eat is becoming less and less..

Late working lunch... I always work through lunch and sometimes dinner... Chicken adobo today

Amazingly.. today work made me smile. 

A friend.

Around two weeks... We are talking about the "feeling" of being in love right? Not the actual "state" of being in love.  So I guess it will average two weeks, until you see the flaws and things you don't like. 

I'm basing this on online interactions. I read somewhere that a chat interaction usually have an average lifespan of two weeks. During that time, we see our chatmates as someone interesting... Maybe someone we can be romantic or intimate with. Then the more you get to know each other, you see that they are not really your type. Or that there is something wrong with them. Maybe he/she has stalker tendencies, or too clingy, or too conceited.  Then that kilig feeling goes away and you end up talking/chatting less and less... Or in some cases ghosting one another.

1. Cry if you must. Shout and curse if you want to. Let it all out... But never invite an alcohol in. It will always be a temporary getaway when you get an alcohol involved. 

 

2. Take a breather. Isolate yourself or hibernate for a while. It will help to clear dark clouds hovering over you. Maybe this is a chance to discover new things you've held yourself back from doing before. It's your road to take now, so enjoy! 

 

3. The trimester of it will always be the hardest part. You're just starting to pick up the pieces and have no idea how or where to start. If you're taking months and years, so be it. Because what's important is you bouncing back being all try to yourself. There are others out there who'd fake their recoveries and these are risky ones. Usually they get themselves involved with a new relationship with another person without having really crossed the other side of the bridge, and they end up hurting that person in the process because there's the stigma of the past.

 

4. Self preservation. This is one thing I'd always, and always, remind my friends and myself. It's a process, and may take long, but the result is very much rewarding. As you take your time doing this, you also surround yourself with more positive vibes, and begin caring and loving your self all the more. You will even encounter self discoveries, those uncharted regions within you. 

 

5. Don't be afraid. It's your story to write anyway. 

 A. Don't be afraid to take a step on your own. 

 B. Don't be afraid to watch a movie all by yourself

 C. Don't be afraid to dine by yourself. 

 D. Don't be afraid to travel the world by yourself.

 

And you'll be surprised as to how you'd blossom to another kind of flower. You'll normally exude this beautiful aura that is noticeable. And by then, maybe it's time to take on another chapter... 

I hope you are the same soin2you from tonight. Welcome to stars. I'm sure the forum has become at least 2x better with you contributing content to it. 

Someone I'm interested in but it seems like he is interested in someone else.

I love coffee but sadly it's really messing up my hyperacidity 😞 

Anyway my go to brewing method is via Aeropress. 

What is the aeropress method... First time to hear/read that.

Anyway, since I'm on a diet now, I only take my coffee black. Missing the creamy sweetness.

Going old school again tonight..

I didn't mean to love you by helen reddy

When my brother's high school teacher mispronounced "water" ....

Or when his english teacher said hors d'oeuvre is pronounced as "horse - devoir"

And when another high school teacher is teaching drafting when she's not trained to teach drafting.

Or how about when teachers can no longer fail a student despite poor attendance and dismal performance for fear that they will be evaluated against it. My aunt is a public school teacher and she can't fail a student who stopped coming to classes because her supervisor asked her "ano ginawa mo nung Hindi na say pumapasok".

In here, I have more freedom because anonymity. 

I agree with this. I'm more open online because of anonymity. In person, I am probably the biggest introvert you'll ever meet. 

Part of my maldita and suplada personality shows online though. Sometimes, you just need to be straightforward or you end up wasting time. 

Some of us turn to arts and crafts to destress. Post some of your finished projects here.

In the past, I did crochet and knitting but that didn't pan out. I tried painting but I found out that Im a much better digital artist than art on canvas artist.

I happened upon a paint by numbers kit recently and it has been my outlet for destressing. 

If you have any finished works, feel free to post it here. I will start with my favorite "paint by numbers" output. 

Hopefully, I find a better place for this.

The way we travel has definitely changed. We can no longer easily visit far off places. Some of us have opted to go on staycations. 

If you recently went on a staycation, please post where, how much, what activities did you do during your staycation and would you recommend it?

Feel  free to post photos as well.

P.S. for selfish reasons, I also need recommendations as I plan to go on a staycation in a couple of weeks.

The Caves of Steel (1954) 

The Naked Sun (1957) 

The Robots of Dawn (1983) 

Robots and Empire (1985) 

All written by Isaac Asimov, I can't believe I read them all. What a nerd.

I like Asimov. I need to get my hands on some of his books soon.  As a child, I have a complete set of "Isaac Asimov's Encyclopedia of the Universe".

I think that's why I like sci-fi too.

To be on topic, one of my favorite books is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. 

I read this book in high school and I still have a copy of it until now. 

Douglas Adams also wrote for the classic Doctor Who series...

The 6th book of HHGG was written by Eoin Colfer based on noted Adams left before he died. Sadly, the writing style is so different that I didn't enjoy it as much as I did the first 5 parts of HHGG.

Ok... Moving on. I've moved on so many times in the past 

1) my ex cheated on me several times. At one point, he even asked if he can court another woman while we are still in a relationship. He eventually went back to his ex and I treated him as someone who is dead to me. I didn't really move on fully right after. I lost interest in men and in dating. Until I just gave up on finding someone... I still haven't found anyone new. 

I knew I finally moved on when my ex reached out to me after 5years. He said he is a new man and he apologized. I realized, I don't need to forgive and forget him. I just don't care about his existence anymore. That's when I knew I moved on. 

2) several times, I was rejected and insulted. I sulked. Sometimes I cried. Especially when they make me feel ugly.  Then after a day or two, I just forget about it. Most of those who rejected me, I was only starting to see as friends.  I guess some expected more than friendship and got disappointed that Im not their type. FYI, most of the time they are also not my type.
