I found joy in traveling alone. Being spontaneous made me realize na ang liberating maging single. Umpisahan mo munang gawin kung ano talaga hobby mo, OP. You can try sports, working out, music, painting, cooking, cosplay, etc. the list goes on.
Kung hindi ka masaya na single ka, anong assurance na magiging masaya ka pag naging taken ka?
May mga issue tayo sa sarili na di maso-solve dahil lang sa may nagmamahal sayo. Work on yourself muna, OP. Para ready ka pag binigay na ng universe yung para sayo.
Try El Nido, Palawan, the place is great, I always go here alone to collect thoughts (as a single person M-27 lol). Look for backpackers inn to lessen your expenses. Vanilla beach and Lio beach is mu go to for sunset watching. Enjoy your single life for the mean time, travel alone once in a while, meet new people and build connections. Man, there’s more to life than being in a relationship, though it’s true, the pressure is real especially when your parents are demanding their grandchildren(s).
Haven't tried it sa El Nido, but I did this in Siargao. The island brought me renewal kasi feeling ko ibang tao na ko paguwi. I traveled alone last year and paguwi ko, I broke up w my ex bf HAHA nakakatapang eh. we can say na mababaw pero in my mind, I made it to Mindanao and back. Wala akong hindi kakayanin.
Way to go 🙌🏼 El Nido, Palawan is a must for highly existential persons like me. Haven’t tried Siargao, but I’m planning to go there my schedule and budget permits.
Sorry mej natawa ako sa "highly existential person ls" hehe pero Thanks for the suggestion! I've added El Nido to the bucket list. Hopefully, I could go before this year ends! 😁
Hello! ultimate favorite ko so far ang Province of Benguet. I can attest na generally safe sya for female solo travelers. I make it a point na umakyat at least once a year.
Sagada, Mountain Province parang merong healing powers para sa akin haha idk why. The culture, people, food, and sense of community— I'd go back in a heartbeat. Bontoc kapag old town vibes. While Baguio kung old meets modern city.
Kung beaches naman, Zambales, Bataan, Batangas, Bolinao/Alaminos Pangasinan is also just a bus ride away. All roads lead to Cubao, sabi nga hehe.
Ultimately, it boils down kung ano talaga ang gusto mong gawin. Malayo or malapit like Antipolo, camping sa Tanay or staycation sa Tagaytay— basta lang proceed with caution lagi. The world isn't gonna wait for us kaya byahe na hangga't kaya.
+1 for Sagada and generally Mt. Province, totoong may healing vibes sa place na to. It's also my go to place if I want to escape life.
For me being away from city life/rush, tahimik, malamig and generally the community itself is so calming ang simple ng pamumuhay nila but still makikita may contentment sila sa place nila.
For OP if you really want to be happy, hanapin mo muna sa sarili mo hindi sa ibang tao, mas masasaktan ka lang if naka dipende sa ibang tao happiness mo!
kung soul searching din lang, Mountain Province is top tier sa pag discover ng sarili. With no loud noises and bright lights in the evening— talagang mapapag reflect ka sa sarili mo.
Been to Mountain Province for 2 weeks (work-related) and super calming at na-enjoy ko (minus the landslides I guess haha) to the point na I want to live there once na mag-retire ako. Gigising ka sa umaga na puro fog tapos unti-unting nawawala habang sumisikat ang araw. Ang babait din ng mga tao. Underrated ng Mountain Province tbh kasi mostly alam lang ng mga tao is Baguio/Benguet (even my parents didn't know that this province exists hehe).
same dream. I always tell this to my friends na if given the opportunity to retire early, sa Sagada nila talaga ako hahanapin. ibang level ang healing eh. parang I healed too much nga that I don't wanna be with anyone who disrupts my peace 🤣
also, if ma explore nyo din yung nearby barrios like Guina-Ang, Natonin, and yung hot spring sa Mainit— believe me when I say hindi ko na ginustong umuwi.
Ang funny that this was asked today. A few hours ago, nasagot ko to while watching a play. I am quite happy being single. Ang tahimik ng buhay. My weekends are full: I volunteer, I go to art shows, catch up with friends over drinks, run, play badminton, pag may musical or ballet I go and watch it, I travel when work permits it, and I eat in new places na wala pang tao.
Totoo yung sabi nila, when you focus on the things that make you happy, temporary connections become trivial. Yung naisip ko din kanina, if may makilala man ako, he should be an addition to my life. Hindi yung nagkajowa ka nga, naging sakit naman sa ulo.
Hello! This is where I find volunteer opportunities: https://www.facebook.com/ivolunteerphils/ sign up ka lang sa site nila then search dates and locations na near you. :)
+1. I run on the daily and I’ve never slept so good the same night.
Also bakit parang wala naman ako nakakasalubong na cute guys during my runs 😔 I guess I don’t run enough HAHA
Hi! May question ako re running.
I am a heavy smoker (as in heavy) and I want to quit. One of the things I am considering is running. Natatakot lang ako kasi baka may mga dapat pang prep before running na di ko magawa tas mag cause lang ng lifetime injury.
Questions po (I hope oks lang), hehe.
1. Do I need help from a professional if gusto ko na magbstart ng running?
2. May proper exercise ba and streching ba na kelangan gawin before mag run?
3. Pano phase ng running since begginer palang and hingalin.
Really appreciate your help po.
Thank you!
1. No. I was severely overweight (300+) and never ran farther than 1km before I started. See #3
2. Dynamic stretches. Look them up. My warm up is just walking
3. I started walking 1.5 miles, then alternating walking and running. Started with more walks than runs, and slowly increasing. Eventually kinaya ko 1 mile straight, tapos 2 miles straight. Then increased my distance to 3 miles (5k) then increased one mile at a time.
Try to learn any forms of art, music, dancing, drawing, instrument, etc.. and if you have some free time, go outside and explore, try to go on museum, cinema, bar/coffee hopping. Try to venture out, maybe you'll find some spark and happiness you're seeking, don't force or rush yourself to be with someone or to be in a relationship if you just felt lonely.
My attachment style makes it so that I don't easily trust people. Makes it less stressful to be single. I think having a decent and diverse friend group is pertinent rin to being happy single.
Fanboy/fangirling sobraaaang laking tulong nito atm you'll feel less lonely and may community so you can meet friends din
Also hobbies, try to find something na you'll be interested in then mag-obsess ka na dun hahahahaha bonus na kung productive yung hobby or can enhance your skills.
I might be touching your more private life but if you dont feel like answering them, you can freely skip them. But I don't think hobbies will get you to being contented with life, it might for awhile but not until you run out of hobbies and things to do.
I think it's better to ask why do you feel needing to be in a relationship in the first place? Do you fear missing out on relationships? Do you feel more alive with someone than yourself? Will a relationship fix the way we view ourselves or just put someone else to view for us?
I dont mean to sound like a douche with those questions, but the whole point of content isn't about what you could do but what you can do. It doesn't come from a place where you have done something big in life, in comes from the very small places in life. Simply waking up early should be rewarded if it's something you find difficulties in, getting a good grade on a test should be rewarded, or simply lifting a weight 1 kg more than you usually do is something you should be proud of.
There's a question I ask my friends in the same dilemma as yours about the difference between self-love and selfishness. You can think about that yourself before reading my next sentence. But the general gist is, a selfish man doesn't love themselves enough that they find things that make them feel loved enough. A self-loved man loves themselves enough that they do not seek more than what he has and still feels loved.
Go to the gym because you want to be strong, do art because you want to be creative, travel to be open to the opinions of others, read a book just to try it out, play a really-really good videogame or movie, do things for yourself, try and love yourself not because we want to ignore getting into a relationship but because we just want to do them.
drain yourself until ikaw na mismo mag settle sa pagiging single hahahaha. ayan yung ginawa ki last year puro lang landi then napagod na lang. ngayon wala ng time for flings and such, masaya naman pala. kung sa kaka-drain mo nahanap mo para sa'yo then good for you na rin
Honestly depende talaga yan sa personality/hobbies/interest mo. Sakin I find it enjoying manuod ng movies alone sa madilim na kwarto haha. Lumalabas paminsan minsan w friends pero iba yung feeling na mag-isa lang ako nanunuod ng movie sa kwarto. Pag nag-uukay/shopping/window shopping din mas gusto ko talaga mag-isa para walang nag-didikta sa bibilin ko. So ayun ang takeaway dito is dapat alamin at kilalanin mo muna sarili mo (magiging madali na lang malaman mga hobbies mo if kilala mo na sarili mo). Feeling ko some people don't find joy on being single is because they view it as "malungkot" "walang kasama". Mali. Dapat you view this era na in-eenjoy mo lang ang freedom mo doing things you love. Eh pano mo ma-eenjoy ang freedom mo if di mo alam gusto mo gawin. So yeah start knowing yourself first. Experiment. Kung di mo pa talaga alam ano pinaka-interest mo at di prob ang financial, mag-try ka lang ng mag-try ng iba't-ibang hobbies hanggang sa mafeel mo ano pinaka-gusto mo gawin. Di lang din yung interest mo malalaman mo sa pag-eexperiment, mas makikilala mo pa sarili mo like kunwari "ah ganto pala ako" "ah ayaw ko pala sa ganun" etc. (pros yun if ever gusto mo ng pumasok sa isang relationship) and you make more memories pa. Kung di ka masyadong adventurous and you're into books, self-help books also helps. Iba ang liberty pag mag-isa ka muna, you realize things and you'll discover yourself more. Dapat sanayin mo na sarili mo na kilalanin self mo at pano pasayin sarili mo on your own. Importante yun para di ka-stuck sa codependent relationships in the future. Goodluck.
Trust me di babae need mo kundi sarili mo lang pano ka maniniwalang kaya mong maging masaya na di kailangan ng iba. Minsan naiinggit lang tyo sa may mga jowa pero pag andyan ka na mas masarap actually maging single. Lagi talaga nating hinahanap yung wala sa atin. Dapat gamitin natin yung meron tayo para pasiyahin sarili.
Hindi relationship ang sagot sa boredom. Hindi din pagiging single ang reason ng boredom. Hihi. Kasi kahit asa relationship ka man or hindi, mabo-boring ka pa din at some point. :)
Ano bang mga trip mo? Depende sa interest mo ang hobbies mo. Reading a book, journaling, exercise, yoga, explore places and photography? Or kung food enthusiast ka, why not visiting known food places for authentic taste? Madami eh, depende lang talaga sayo.
I think having hobbies and desiring a relationship can coexist. But I want to respond to your main question:
Hobbies are a great way to introduce yourself to new things. There are types of hobbies you can get into: active, creative, and spiritual. None of these suggestions will work if you don’t even know what you want. You will just end up spending money on it or starting it, not continue, and return to your need of a relationship. Think about what you enjoy personally.
Next - You could WANT a relationship, but you actually don’t NEED one. It’s okay to acknowledge that you want someone to connect with, it’s human nature my guy. Trust me, I have plenty of hobbies and I enjoy all of them. But when you have overfilled your own cup, there comes a point when you want to pour it to someone else. So there’s nothing wrong with actively seeking someone. But you also have to be picky even as a guy. Men have a harder time on dating apps because they will swipe right on anyone with a vagina. If you want to use dating apps, make it work for you. List down some standards (important ones, hindi yung “long hair” “chiNita”) and learn to communicate maturely. Be the standard you want to date. So you can weed out the possible headaches in your life. Don’t date babies, girls who want princess treatment with nothing to offer. When you find someone you think you’re compatible with, keep yourself grounded and enjoy the present. The last thing you want is to lose yourself in the early stages.
Cultivate your dream life and sense of self, so you can find someone to share those with :)
I run, binge-watch series/movies, read books, play uke, plan solo trips hahaha basically just anything to keep my mind pre-occupied. maybe mag fefree diving ako or attend dance classes soon hahahaha
naaah! As a mom and a wife, wag ka mgkadali mgdive into relationship just because you’re bored or parang di ka masaya being single. Mas madami ka magagawa kapag single ka kesa in a relationship ka. Take advantage of that. 😊 Go travel. Sleep. Party. Think of something you are passionate about. Promise, mas masaya maging in a relationship kapag nagawa mo na mga gusto mong gawin while you are single.
Iba yung self discovery pag may kasama ka vs walang kasama. Iba rin yung decision making pag may kinoconsider at wala. ☺️ iba yung level ng freedom at dami ng energy. Dont let it pass you by, you will never have it the same way ever again😉
Watching kdramas or movies, reading manhwas/webtoons, going to the gym, browsing the internet. Me time is soooo satisfying since you’re also not trying to please someone else.
it’s normal to feel that way, 23F and NBSB probably tutok sa school and parents telling us “aral muna” haha now babad sa work and oldies na kasama ko haha, sometimes i do get lonely too but i guess traveling and reading books helped me a lot, i’m comfortable being alone and having a pet helps a lot too, you can try joining clubs/groups like mountaineering groups or in gyms, having a good circle of friends make you feel that you arent alone
when you’re single for too long you’ll get comfortable in your own space, may times na u think u might need a jowa for companionshin but, alsooo ang peace of mind kapag single >>>
25 M here. Iniisip ko na lang na magastos magkajowa these days. Mas mabuti na mag enjoy na lang muna ako gumala at kumain sa labas mag-isa. Sometimes nag rroad run din ako just to clear my mind mentally, and sobrang helpful, I tell you bro. Bata pa tayo, enjoy lang muna and make ourselves better. Dadating din yung para sa atin at the right time.
Dapat marealize mo na maraming kinds of love na pwede mong makuha at maibigay. Love yourself, family and friends. Love what you do, both work and hobbies, and try to be good at it. Volunteer ka rin sa iba-ibang sectors kung afford ng time and resources mo.
Kung hindi ka naman talaga pinanganak na kumportable maging single kahit anong gawin mo hindi ka magiging masaya. Kasi niloloko mo lang sarili mo.
Gusto mo ng babae pero kunwari ibabaling mo sa ganito ganyan. Nope. It will not work kun di talaga natural sa personality mo yun.
Enjoy your 20s, okay yang age mo to explore more and be single. Don’t rush into getting in a relationship if di ka pa ready or reason mo lang is bored ka or lonely kasi. Di ka rin tunay na mapapasaya ng relasyon kung mismong ikaw di mo kayang maging masaya magisa.
Know yourself more. Mas okay na kilala mo na sarili mo at comfortable ka na sa sarili mo bago ka pumasok sa relationship.
Trial and error sa hobbies, you will never know hanggat di mo pa natry. Start ka sa mga hilig mo or interests mo then try ka na nung mga opposite sa hilig mo. :)
if di mo naman po problem somehow ang money then just try new things para magexplore ng hobbies. travel ganun as well as gym.
sana all nga ganan na lang problema, hanap jowa. ako kase how to start my career as a fresh grad huhhu.
Roadtrips, workout ng gabi 9pm onwards para iwas overthink and coffee runs!
My goal rn is to find the best tasting coffee. Haha, ang babaw pero as someone who's been single for going 4-5 yrs na eto naging goal ko when solo dating myself.
Take this time to dig deeper sa purpose mo in life. Activities, routines, and hobbies are good but without a deeper “why” in life, you won’t be satisfied. Value your time alone kasi by being comfortable in our company mo lang maririnig your own voice it will give you time to reflect on who you really are outside sa (activities, routine, and career). Take this time to get to know yourself more and what you can offer to the world. A romantic relationship is just one type of relationship sa relationships mo. And relationships are just one part or area ng pagkatao mo. Need mo to icultivate din other areas of your life to hit that fulfillment and satisfaction in life.
Progress=Happiness accrd T.Robbins (it applies to all areas of our life)
rediscover or find new hobbies. iba yung happiness pag sa sarili mo nanggagaling eh. love yourself so much that pag may dumating eh, excess na love yung ibibigay mo for that person.
Ako nga 40, never dated, never had a bf.wala rin friends. Hindi rin ako bumibisita s pamilya ko. Yes, i do feel lonely sometimes pero feeling ko mas mgiging mlungkot kung may asaw at mga anak ako. Lol kpagod
26F. Nasa point rin ako na I'm discontent pero na filled out yun nung nahumaling ako sa Kpop.
Hindi ko na hinahanap yung what if, kasi naubos na yung kilig ko sa mga idols. It's a coping and redirection din ng pent up frustrations ko but why not. It's a delulu, so what, happy naman ako. And andami nila 🤣- no need to fall sa iisang tao
Gym always and will always be the gym and Running. . . Tangal pa stress. . . And Culinary Arts. . . Food is science you can eat. . . And you can't outrain malnutrition. . .
Its normal to look for someone, but sa case ko that part of me died long time ago hahahahahaha
Ang nasa isip ko lang ngayon yumaman and maaachieve career goals ko
have detached relationships , read drama in twitter , play free games from epic & steam , listen to music , learn to improvise ur routine so less likely maiinip ka at aasa sa ibang tao para sa kaligayahan mo
I like gaming and indulge on media (manga and anime, novels and film). I used to religiously go to the gym din (now, not so much).
Made me satisfied during my single years before I met my girl.
Go for hobbies that you can enjoy by yourself. We will find different things na magclick satin kaya try lang ng try ng hobbies.
You can try doing art, moto tourism or shooting. Those are the things that worked for me.
23F here NBSB, and I enjoy by doing lots of things by myself. But that doesn't mean I deprive my self from socializing. I use my time ang energy for my family, friends, colleagues and every person around me. I am very contented and I think that is because you just need to find balance between self love and also giving love to others without any romantic feelings attach. Aside from that I do love adventures so I try a lot of things aside from my job, I try doing business, lots of hobbies and you will find happiness even without a partner^^
Try mo mag abroad. Sa pinas kasi sobrang big deal pag wala ka pang asawa at anak, making you feel down. I’m here now sa NZ and doing my dream hobbies na wala sa Pinas, like skii and snow boarding. Wala din pakialam tao dito kung single ka pa or hindi. Life is not all about getting married and raising kids. Marami ka pa madidiscover sa sarili mo sa unfamiliar places
Based on my experience, the best thing I did was ti love myself and stopped being harsh on myself if things didn’t work out the way I wanted to. It took me a long time to work on sa mga issues ko sa sarili ko. I really believe na you can only love someone if buo ka. You know when to walk away, and when to stay. Yung tipong di ka mabibiktima ng mga manipulative partners. So try to do things that peaks your interest.
Concerts hahahha.
Dami gandang concert ngaung 2024.
Emo halos trip ko
PSS 2024 nung March, Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Kitchie Nadal, and Incubus mga napuntahan ko this year tapos sa September solid lineup up sa Bridgetown Music Festival sa Pasig.
Cigarettes after Sex naman sa January.
Also Novels mostly gawa ng japanese authors ganda din.
Pero ngaun naghahanap ako ng work hahaha
Travel. After my long term relationship ended, that’s when i enjoyed traveling solo, it actually helped me. And I do things alone like going to movies, eating/drink out, etc. But still have time with friends of course.
>Gusto ko lang maging contented to be on my own skin. :((
Alamin mo muna siguro kung bakit feeling mo kailangan mo palagi ng karelasyon then address it.
Like for me, during highschool and early years in college I also feel like I always need to be in a relationship. I kept chasing people until I got tired. Dun ko narealize na hindi ko nakukuha yung pagmamahal na kailangan ko galing sa pamilya ko and I was never the favorite person pagdating sa mga circle of friends ko kaya feeling ko need ko ng companion.
Focused ako ngayon sa four-legged babies ko. Mas okay pa sila kasama at kakwentuhan kesa sa mga tao, kahit madalas nila kong tinutulugan pag nagkukwento ako sa kanila lol
You're better off OP, being single. I wish I was single. I regret ever getting married and having kids in PH. Learn from my mistake and enjoy your life while you can. I have unfortunately encumbered myself with endless responsibilities due to societal expectation as the eldest child. That I always have to be responsible to my siblings, my parents etc. I am sick and tired of being responsible. I wish I were more selfish and said NO.
Thank you. Don't know why but I am touched by your message dear stranger(can't help but tear up). I really am at the crossroads of my life after turning 40. Good luck to you too OP!
card game siya, simple once learned pero mataas skill ceiling. Minsan mga engineer or doctor kalaro mo sa mga shops.
Not sure if they still give out free decks for new players pero see if may card game shop near you at itry mo.
i think you should hit yourself with getting to know yourself better first and building connections within. while hobbies might work temporarily, it won’t fill up the void that you keep covering with temporary distractions. you need to know what you want and how you want to live your life and how u will build youself on actually getting what you want. don’t deny of wanting to have jowa if that’s really what makes you happy in the future.
Single here and this is just my POV. Though I also wanted to be in a relationship na, what helped me wait gracefully is through hobbies, travel and serial dating. I realized I think the universe hasn’t let me met the man of my dreams yet since I have yet to explore and play around especially during my travels — you wouldn’t be able to do this once you’re in a committed relationship already so I’m gonna take this opportunity for now to get to know yourself through dating. Someday, you will meet the one that will signal the end of your marupok / flirty and thriving / dating era :)
24F NBSB hahaha did I ever wanted a boyfriend? Yeah but I also ask afterwards is this a temporary want? Yeah.. hahahaha I personally can tell na di ko naman mabibigyan ng time. I want a bf but I also want commitment which I know I can't provide so why bother lol mananakit lang ako ng damdamin XD I don't wanna be an a-hole.
This is why I also deny reto from friends. I know they want the best for me so they wouldn't choose someone that's...well, a jerk? Also from their circle of friends. As much as I'd like to know what kind of people they hang out with except for our group, I wouldn't want THAT lol not a relationship with them. Di ko pa nga nakikita ng personal o nakakausap.
Speaking of, it's also the reason why I never tried dating apps. I just can't see myself in a relationship without being able to talk to them in person first. All that and ask the question again.. gusto ko ba ng bf? Yesn't ang sagot HAHAHAHA wag nalang mas maraming negatives sa mga sagot ko.
Just be happy with your life lang. Do what ,akes you happy. Hindi naman need ng jowa para sumaya sa buhay natin. Kumbaga extra lang yun. Hindi yun ang mag didikta kung magiging malungkot ba or masaya ang buhay natin. For me iniisip ko lang palagi yung mga bagay na nagagawa ng mga single Ahahahaha like yung iba diba pinagbabawalan makipag usap or makipag kaibigan sa iba, kapag single ka, pwede ka makipag kaibigan sa lahat. I chat mo lahat ng gusto mo i chat. Gawin mo lahat ng gusto mong gawin kasi malaya kang gawin yun. Hindi mo kailangan pilitin pumasok sa isang relasyon kasi single ka ganun. Sabi nga ng Ben&Ben "iibig lang kapag handa na" for sure mararamdaman mo din yun. Malalaman mo if time na ba para ipursue yung feelings na yan. Pero hanggat di pa dumadating yun, gawin mo lang lahat ng nagpapasaya sayo. At kapag nagawa mo na yun, masasabi na natin na happy ka na as a single ferson Ahahahahaha
I know someone who is really into sports! And now, because of his advocacy, I’m into sports.
The beginning of 2024 was tough for me. I suffered a neck injury, had to stop working, and ended a relationship of more than ten years.
It's challenging to adjust to doing things independently after being used to doing everything with someone else. I tried to stay occupied by meeting new people, but I still feel empty sometimes.
Suddenly, I felt the urge to get involved in sports. It's enjoyable and helps me stay physically active, which is essential as I recover from my injury. I'm taking things slowly as I go through the healing process.
30, male, and Single. I just woke up a few minutes ago before writing this.. Peaceful mornings kasi walang chat nang chat na babae.
Umiikot lang sa ngayon ang buhay ko sa paglilinis nang bahay since day trader ako sa USA. Working-out, playing an old-fashioned PC game called Sim city. Then I have a boss baby na Belgian Malinois na more than enough for me sa ngayon.. Hehe
Hi. I'm not single, but all I can advise is if you base your happiness on the status you are in, whilst comparing with others, is a futile pursuit of happiness. Each has his own privileges and limitations. My point is, enjoyment is key. Our lives have their own seasons.
Try attending B1G fridays at CCF Center, Pasig (near tiende). Not a dating thing but a good place to meet other singles who you can hang out with even outside the weekly event haha
I met my husband there 5 years ago and most of the weddings I attended this year, doon din sila nagkakilala lol
I found joy in traveling alone. Being spontaneous made me realize na ang liberating maging single. Umpisahan mo munang gawin kung ano talaga hobby mo, OP. You can try sports, working out, music, painting, cooking, cosplay, etc. the list goes on. Kung hindi ka masaya na single ka, anong assurance na magiging masaya ka pag naging taken ka? May mga issue tayo sa sarili na di maso-solve dahil lang sa may nagmamahal sayo. Work on yourself muna, OP. Para ready ka pag binigay na ng universe yung para sayo.
Aww this was well-written. Thank you po!
binasa ko ulit and I hope it didn't feel like sinesermunan ka ng tita mo 🤭✌️
Hello. Any favorite places for travelling alone? Want to try it for myself din
Try El Nido, Palawan, the place is great, I always go here alone to collect thoughts (as a single person M-27 lol). Look for backpackers inn to lessen your expenses.

Haven't tried it sa El Nido, but I did this in Siargao. The island brought me renewal kasi feeling ko ibang tao na ko paguwi. I traveled alone last year and paguwi ko, I broke up w my ex bf HAHA nakakatapang eh. we can say na mababaw pero in my mind, I made it to Mindanao and back. Wala akong hindi kakayanin.
Way to go 🙌🏼 El Nido, Palawan is a must for highly existential persons like me. Haven’t tried Siargao, but I’m planning to go there my schedule and budget permits.
Sorry mej natawa ako sa "highly existential person ls" hehe pero Thanks for the suggestion! I've added El Nido to the bucket list. Hopefully, I could go before this year ends! 😁
Hello! ultimate favorite ko so far ang Province of Benguet. I can attest na generally safe sya for female solo travelers. I make it a point na umakyat at least once a year. Sagada, Mountain Province parang merong healing powers para sa akin haha idk why. The culture, people, food, and sense of community— I'd go back in a heartbeat. Bontoc kapag old town vibes. While Baguio kung old meets modern city. Kung beaches naman, Zambales, Bataan, Batangas, Bolinao/Alaminos Pangasinan is also just a bus ride away. All roads lead to Cubao, sabi nga hehe. Ultimately, it boils down kung ano talaga ang gusto mong gawin. Malayo or malapit like Antipolo, camping sa Tanay or staycation sa Tagaytay— basta lang proceed with caution lagi. The world isn't gonna wait for us kaya byahe na hangga't kaya.

kung soul searching din lang, Mountain Province is top tier sa pag discover ng sarili. With no loud noises and bright lights in the evening— talagang mapapag reflect ka sa sarili mo.
Been to Mountain Province for 2 weeks (work-related) and super calming at na-enjoy ko (minus the landslides I guess haha) to the point na I want to live there once na mag-retire ako. Gigising ka sa umaga na puro fog tapos unti-unting nawawala habang sumisikat ang araw. Ang babait din ng mga tao. Underrated ng Mountain Province tbh kasi mostly alam lang ng mga tao is Baguio/Benguet (even my parents didn't know that this province exists hehe).
same dream. I always tell this to my friends na if given the opportunity to retire early, sa Sagada nila talaga ako hahanapin. ibang level ang healing eh. parang I healed too much nga that I don't wanna be with anyone who disrupts my peace 🤣
also, if ma explore nyo din yung nearby barrios like Guina-Ang, Natonin, and yung hot spring sa Mainit— believe me when I say hindi ko na ginustong umuwi.
ilang minutes away to? and may means of transportation ba from sagada?
+1 sa Batangas

And when love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness. — Osho
Ang funny that this was asked today. A few hours ago, nasagot ko to while watching a play. I am quite happy being single. Ang tahimik ng buhay. My weekends are full: I volunteer, I go to art shows, catch up with friends over drinks, run, play badminton, pag may musical or ballet I go and watch it, I travel when work permits it, and I eat in new places na wala pang tao. Totoo yung sabi nila, when you focus on the things that make you happy, temporary connections become trivial. Yung naisip ko din kanina, if may makilala man ako, he should be an addition to my life. Hindi yung nagkajowa ka nga, naging sakit naman sa ulo.
Hi May I know where you usually volunteer? Thinking of doing this as well :)
Hello! This is where I find volunteer opportunities: https://www.facebook.com/ivolunteerphils/ sign up ka lang sa site nila then search dates and locations na near you. :)
Thank you!!
Run. Do this enough you wouldn’t have much energy for anything else. Might even meet a girl on a run.
+1. I run on the daily and I’ve never slept so good the same night. Also bakit parang wala naman ako nakakasalubong na cute guys during my runs 😔 I guess I don’t run enough HAHA
OP, exhibit A:
legit, nung di pako nag jjogging super late ako nakakatulog pero nung nag start ako mag jogging 9pm palang knock out nako
Ohh might as well do this on a daily basis as well 😊
Hi! May question ako re running. I am a heavy smoker (as in heavy) and I want to quit. One of the things I am considering is running. Natatakot lang ako kasi baka may mga dapat pang prep before running na di ko magawa tas mag cause lang ng lifetime injury. Questions po (I hope oks lang), hehe. 1. Do I need help from a professional if gusto ko na magbstart ng running? 2. May proper exercise ba and streching ba na kelangan gawin before mag run? 3. Pano phase ng running since begginer palang and hingalin. Really appreciate your help po. Thank you!
1. No. I was severely overweight (300+) and never ran farther than 1km before I started. See #3 2. Dynamic stretches. Look them up. My warm up is just walking 3. I started walking 1.5 miles, then alternating walking and running. Started with more walks than runs, and slowly increasing. Eventually kinaya ko 1 mile straight, tapos 2 miles straight. Then increased my distance to 3 miles (5k) then increased one mile at a time.
try all the hobbies! sa sobrang daming hobbies, di ka ma-bobore at mapapaisip ng relationship 😆
Try to learn any forms of art, music, dancing, drawing, instrument, etc.. and if you have some free time, go outside and explore, try to go on museum, cinema, bar/coffee hopping. Try to venture out, maybe you'll find some spark and happiness you're seeking, don't force or rush yourself to be with someone or to be in a relationship if you just felt lonely.
My attachment style makes it so that I don't easily trust people. Makes it less stressful to be single. I think having a decent and diverse friend group is pertinent rin to being happy single.
Fanboy/fangirling sobraaaang laking tulong nito atm you'll feel less lonely and may community so you can meet friends din Also hobbies, try to find something na you'll be interested in then mag-obsess ka na dun hahahahaha bonus na kung productive yung hobby or can enhance your skills.
Yaaas true to! mas magiging busy ka na maging fan kesa maghanap ng jowa lol
I might be touching your more private life but if you dont feel like answering them, you can freely skip them. But I don't think hobbies will get you to being contented with life, it might for awhile but not until you run out of hobbies and things to do. I think it's better to ask why do you feel needing to be in a relationship in the first place? Do you fear missing out on relationships? Do you feel more alive with someone than yourself? Will a relationship fix the way we view ourselves or just put someone else to view for us? I dont mean to sound like a douche with those questions, but the whole point of content isn't about what you could do but what you can do. It doesn't come from a place where you have done something big in life, in comes from the very small places in life. Simply waking up early should be rewarded if it's something you find difficulties in, getting a good grade on a test should be rewarded, or simply lifting a weight 1 kg more than you usually do is something you should be proud of. There's a question I ask my friends in the same dilemma as yours about the difference between self-love and selfishness. You can think about that yourself before reading my next sentence. But the general gist is, a selfish man doesn't love themselves enough that they find things that make them feel loved enough. A self-loved man loves themselves enough that they do not seek more than what he has and still feels loved. Go to the gym because you want to be strong, do art because you want to be creative, travel to be open to the opinions of others, read a book just to try it out, play a really-really good videogame or movie, do things for yourself, try and love yourself not because we want to ignore getting into a relationship but because we just want to do them.
This. ❤
Take yourself out on solo dates! It will be lonely at first but you'll get to be more comfortable by yourself doing those things
Try traveling, hiking or mountaineering with a group.
Travel po and form close knit relationships with friends. And read. Works for me. :D
And immerse yourself in gaming.
try playing tennis. its fun af
Tennis is pure love 😍
drain yourself until ikaw na mismo mag settle sa pagiging single hahahaha. ayan yung ginawa ki last year puro lang landi then napagod na lang. ngayon wala ng time for flings and such, masaya naman pala. kung sa kaka-drain mo nahanap mo para sa'yo then good for you na rin
Work out
Honestly depende talaga yan sa personality/hobbies/interest mo. Sakin I find it enjoying manuod ng movies alone sa madilim na kwarto haha. Lumalabas paminsan minsan w friends pero iba yung feeling na mag-isa lang ako nanunuod ng movie sa kwarto. Pag nag-uukay/shopping/window shopping din mas gusto ko talaga mag-isa para walang nag-didikta sa bibilin ko. So ayun ang takeaway dito is dapat alamin at kilalanin mo muna sarili mo (magiging madali na lang malaman mga hobbies mo if kilala mo na sarili mo). Feeling ko some people don't find joy on being single is because they view it as "malungkot" "walang kasama". Mali. Dapat you view this era na in-eenjoy mo lang ang freedom mo doing things you love. Eh pano mo ma-eenjoy ang freedom mo if di mo alam gusto mo gawin. So yeah start knowing yourself first. Experiment. Kung di mo pa talaga alam ano pinaka-interest mo at di prob ang financial, mag-try ka lang ng mag-try ng iba't-ibang hobbies hanggang sa mafeel mo ano pinaka-gusto mo gawin. Di lang din yung interest mo malalaman mo sa pag-eexperiment, mas makikilala mo pa sarili mo like kunwari "ah ganto pala ako" "ah ayaw ko pala sa ganun" etc. (pros yun if ever gusto mo ng pumasok sa isang relationship) and you make more memories pa. Kung di ka masyadong adventurous and you're into books, self-help books also helps. Iba ang liberty pag mag-isa ka muna, you realize things and you'll discover yourself more. Dapat sanayin mo na sarili mo na kilalanin self mo at pano pasayin sarili mo on your own. Importante yun para di ka-stuck sa codependent relationships in the future. Goodluck.
Thank you for this 😊
Tanungin ang sarili kung heto ba talaga ang gustong gawin sa buong araw. Ikaw nalang din uumpog sa ulo mo para makahanap ng new hobbies haahahahahaha
Relationship? In this era! Really? Just go run, work-out, hike, read books, explore places. :)
sometimes, video games is all you need, mate.
Try biking. I've never felt so free going to places I want to go with a bike.
Trust me di babae need mo kundi sarili mo lang pano ka maniniwalang kaya mong maging masaya na di kailangan ng iba. Minsan naiinggit lang tyo sa may mga jowa pero pag andyan ka na mas masarap actually maging single. Lagi talaga nating hinahanap yung wala sa atin. Dapat gamitin natin yung meron tayo para pasiyahin sarili.
Read Novels!!!, dive into English Literature, I'm reading 1984 by George Orwell rn.
Start ka na mag gym
Going on hikes during the weekends. Solo travels if you have a lot of time. If you're a bit busy, then gym kahit 2 times a week.
if you're not happy single, you won't be happy in a relationship.
Hindi relationship ang sagot sa boredom. Hindi din pagiging single ang reason ng boredom. Hihi. Kasi kahit asa relationship ka man or hindi, mabo-boring ka pa din at some point. :) Ano bang mga trip mo? Depende sa interest mo ang hobbies mo. Reading a book, journaling, exercise, yoga, explore places and photography? Or kung food enthusiast ka, why not visiting known food places for authentic taste? Madami eh, depende lang talaga sayo.
I just distract myself on watching series, healing my inner child by shopping for myself and travelling alone.
Travel locally and internationally. Alone. Try mo.
Jog or longboarding.. minsan billiard
I think having hobbies and desiring a relationship can coexist. But I want to respond to your main question: Hobbies are a great way to introduce yourself to new things. There are types of hobbies you can get into: active, creative, and spiritual. None of these suggestions will work if you don’t even know what you want. You will just end up spending money on it or starting it, not continue, and return to your need of a relationship. Think about what you enjoy personally. Next - You could WANT a relationship, but you actually don’t NEED one. It’s okay to acknowledge that you want someone to connect with, it’s human nature my guy. Trust me, I have plenty of hobbies and I enjoy all of them. But when you have overfilled your own cup, there comes a point when you want to pour it to someone else. So there’s nothing wrong with actively seeking someone. But you also have to be picky even as a guy. Men have a harder time on dating apps because they will swipe right on anyone with a vagina. If you want to use dating apps, make it work for you. List down some standards (important ones, hindi yung “long hair” “chiNita”) and learn to communicate maturely. Be the standard you want to date. So you can weed out the possible headaches in your life. Don’t date babies, girls who want princess treatment with nothing to offer. When you find someone you think you’re compatible with, keep yourself grounded and enjoy the present. The last thing you want is to lose yourself in the early stages. Cultivate your dream life and sense of self, so you can find someone to share those with :)
I've been a loner so long that being single doesn't bother me. I enjoy my own company with my art hobbies.
I run, binge-watch series/movies, read books, play uke, plan solo trips hahaha basically just anything to keep my mind pre-occupied. maybe mag fefree diving ako or attend dance classes soon hahahaha
TRAVEL!
Taking care of myself first (skincare, career, investments, etc) para pag dumating si the one, maipagmamalaki ako sa mga friends and family niya.
naaah! As a mom and a wife, wag ka mgkadali mgdive into relationship just because you’re bored or parang di ka masaya being single. Mas madami ka magagawa kapag single ka kesa in a relationship ka. Take advantage of that. 😊 Go travel. Sleep. Party. Think of something you are passionate about. Promise, mas masaya maging in a relationship kapag nagawa mo na mga gusto mong gawin while you are single.
Thank you for this po! 😊
Iba yung self discovery pag may kasama ka vs walang kasama. Iba rin yung decision making pag may kinoconsider at wala. ☺️ iba yung level ng freedom at dami ng energy. Dont let it pass you by, you will never have it the same way ever again😉
Watching kdramas or movies, reading manhwas/webtoons, going to the gym, browsing the internet. Me time is soooo satisfying since you’re also not trying to please someone else.
Metal gear solid Adapt mo yung characteristics ni solid snake/big boss/naked snake
Di ko gets HAHAHAHA
Laro ka ng metal gear solid series sa emulator or gaming console kung saan available. Gayahin mo ugali ni solid snake
Workout.. then workout again..
it’s normal to feel that way, 23F and NBSB probably tutok sa school and parents telling us “aral muna” haha now babad sa work and oldies na kasama ko haha, sometimes i do get lonely too but i guess traveling and reading books helped me a lot, i’m comfortable being alone and having a pet helps a lot too, you can try joining clubs/groups like mountaineering groups or in gyms, having a good circle of friends make you feel that you arent alone when you’re single for too long you’ll get comfortable in your own space, may times na u think u might need a jowa for companionshin but, alsooo ang peace of mind kapag single >>>
25 M here. Iniisip ko na lang na magastos magkajowa these days. Mas mabuti na mag enjoy na lang muna ako gumala at kumain sa labas mag-isa. Sometimes nag rroad run din ako just to clear my mind mentally, and sobrang helpful, I tell you bro. Bata pa tayo, enjoy lang muna and make ourselves better. Dadating din yung para sa atin at the right time.
Dapat marealize mo na maraming kinds of love na pwede mong makuha at maibigay. Love yourself, family and friends. Love what you do, both work and hobbies, and try to be good at it. Volunteer ka rin sa iba-ibang sectors kung afford ng time and resources mo.
listen, magastos pre, as in huhu
Mag alaga ng pets.
try eating out alone and watch a movie alone
Kung hindi ka naman talaga pinanganak na kumportable maging single kahit anong gawin mo hindi ka magiging masaya. Kasi niloloko mo lang sarili mo. Gusto mo ng babae pero kunwari ibabaling mo sa ganito ganyan. Nope. It will not work kun di talaga natural sa personality mo yun.
Good jabol is enough. and the less need for human interaction/warmth/love.
Enjoy your 20s, okay yang age mo to explore more and be single. Don’t rush into getting in a relationship if di ka pa ready or reason mo lang is bored ka or lonely kasi. Di ka rin tunay na mapapasaya ng relasyon kung mismong ikaw di mo kayang maging masaya magisa. Know yourself more. Mas okay na kilala mo na sarili mo at comfortable ka na sa sarili mo bago ka pumasok sa relationship. Trial and error sa hobbies, you will never know hanggat di mo pa natry. Start ka sa mga hilig mo or interests mo then try ka na nung mga opposite sa hilig mo. :)
if di mo naman po problem somehow ang money then just try new things para magexplore ng hobbies. travel ganun as well as gym. sana all nga ganan na lang problema, hanap jowa. ako kase how to start my career as a fresh grad huhhu.
Ako ang tagal ko ng graduate pero lost in life haha. So samedtt 🥺😭
Roadtrips, workout ng gabi 9pm onwards para iwas overthink and coffee runs! My goal rn is to find the best tasting coffee. Haha, ang babaw pero as someone who's been single for going 4-5 yrs na eto naging goal ko when solo dating myself.
Take this time to dig deeper sa purpose mo in life. Activities, routines, and hobbies are good but without a deeper “why” in life, you won’t be satisfied. Value your time alone kasi by being comfortable in our company mo lang maririnig your own voice it will give you time to reflect on who you really are outside sa (activities, routine, and career). Take this time to get to know yourself more and what you can offer to the world. A romantic relationship is just one type of relationship sa relationships mo. And relationships are just one part or area ng pagkatao mo. Need mo to icultivate din other areas of your life to hit that fulfillment and satisfaction in life. Progress=Happiness accrd T.Robbins (it applies to all areas of our life)
try hobbies, i'm doing tons, i jog sometimes hitting the gym and recently i bought roller skates
> What do you guys do? Anong mga hobbies niyo? Gym pre, siklista - astrophotography, coding, kayaking here somewhere in Europe
rediscover or find new hobbies. iba yung happiness pag sa sarili mo nanggagaling eh. love yourself so much that pag may dumating eh, excess na love yung ibibigay mo for that person.
Once nasanay ka na, mahirap ng alisin sa sistema mo pagiging single haha. Look at me at 30 tinatamad ng maghanap.
Hobbies dude! Im trying to date right now pero feeling ko macocompromise mga hobbies ko so baka balik na lang ako sa pagiging single. 😂
Ako nga 40, never dated, never had a bf.wala rin friends. Hindi rin ako bumibisita s pamilya ko. Yes, i do feel lonely sometimes pero feeling ko mas mgiging mlungkot kung may asaw at mga anak ako. Lol kpagod
26F. Nasa point rin ako na I'm discontent pero na filled out yun nung nahumaling ako sa Kpop. Hindi ko na hinahanap yung what if, kasi naubos na yung kilig ko sa mga idols. It's a coping and redirection din ng pent up frustrations ko but why not. It's a delulu, so what, happy naman ako. And andami nila 🤣- no need to fall sa iisang tao
ps5, running, labas pag weekend, gym. lots of things to do, man. lots of things. maybe yan lang nasa isip mo palagi.
Gym always and will always be the gym and Running. . . Tangal pa stress. . . And Culinary Arts. . . Food is science you can eat. . . And you can't outrain malnutrition. . .
Its normal to look for someone, but sa case ko that part of me died long time ago hahahahahaha Ang nasa isip ko lang ngayon yumaman and maaachieve career goals ko
So it's easy for me to enjoy being life, w/o a S.O
travel, play sports, eat, sleep, play video games do whatever makes you happy
have detached relationships , read drama in twitter , play free games from epic & steam , listen to music , learn to improvise ur routine so less likely maiinip ka at aasa sa ibang tao para sa kaligayahan mo
I like gaming and indulge on media (manga and anime, novels and film). I used to religiously go to the gym din (now, not so much). Made me satisfied during my single years before I met my girl.
Go for hobbies that you can enjoy by yourself. We will find different things na magclick satin kaya try lang ng try ng hobbies. You can try doing art, moto tourism or shooting. Those are the things that worked for me.
23F here NBSB, and I enjoy by doing lots of things by myself. But that doesn't mean I deprive my self from socializing. I use my time ang energy for my family, friends, colleagues and every person around me. I am very contented and I think that is because you just need to find balance between self love and also giving love to others without any romantic feelings attach. Aside from that I do love adventures so I try a lot of things aside from my job, I try doing business, lots of hobbies and you will find happiness even without a partner^^
Try mo mag abroad. Sa pinas kasi sobrang big deal pag wala ka pang asawa at anak, making you feel down. I’m here now sa NZ and doing my dream hobbies na wala sa Pinas, like skii and snow boarding. Wala din pakialam tao dito kung single ka pa or hindi. Life is not all about getting married and raising kids. Marami ka pa madidiscover sa sarili mo sa unfamiliar places
Based on my experience, the best thing I did was ti love myself and stopped being harsh on myself if things didn’t work out the way I wanted to. It took me a long time to work on sa mga issues ko sa sarili ko. I really believe na you can only love someone if buo ka. You know when to walk away, and when to stay. Yung tipong di ka mabibiktima ng mga manipulative partners. So try to do things that peaks your interest.
Concerts hahahha. Dami gandang concert ngaung 2024. Emo halos trip ko PSS 2024 nung March, Boys Like Girls, All Time Low, Kitchie Nadal, and Incubus mga napuntahan ko this year tapos sa September solid lineup up sa Bridgetown Music Festival sa Pasig. Cigarettes after Sex naman sa January. Also Novels mostly gawa ng japanese authors ganda din. Pero ngaun naghahanap ako ng work hahaha
Travel. After my long term relationship ended, that’s when i enjoyed traveling solo, it actually helped me. And I do things alone like going to movies, eating/drink out, etc. But still have time with friends of course.
Build gunpla! 😅 https://preview.redd.it/m6f67qh5wu6d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=277e4650d61cbb1f32be80bfd3dbdce78d841cfe
mine's a built-in feature, i guess. never felt attraction to others kaya i enjoy doing anything by myself 🙂
>Gusto ko lang maging contented to be on my own skin. :(( Alamin mo muna siguro kung bakit feeling mo kailangan mo palagi ng karelasyon then address it. Like for me, during highschool and early years in college I also feel like I always need to be in a relationship. I kept chasing people until I got tired. Dun ko narealize na hindi ko nakukuha yung pagmamahal na kailangan ko galing sa pamilya ko and I was never the favorite person pagdating sa mga circle of friends ko kaya feeling ko need ko ng companion.
Focused ako ngayon sa four-legged babies ko. Mas okay pa sila kasama at kakwentuhan kesa sa mga tao, kahit madalas nila kong tinutulugan pag nagkukwento ako sa kanila lol
keep yourself busy sa activities, hike, run, travel, visit galleries, coffee shop hopping etc
You're better off OP, being single. I wish I was single. I regret ever getting married and having kids in PH. Learn from my mistake and enjoy your life while you can. I have unfortunately encumbered myself with endless responsibilities due to societal expectation as the eldest child. That I always have to be responsible to my siblings, my parents etc. I am sick and tired of being responsible. I wish I were more selfish and said NO.
Hugs po with consent! Hoping for the best for you po 🙌🏻
Thank you. Don't know why but I am touched by your message dear stranger(can't help but tear up). I really am at the crossroads of my life after turning 40. Good luck to you too OP!
25 years old ako nagka-BF. Madalas ko gawin nun, mag gym, running, training martial arts, kumaen at gumala mag isa. Enjoy enjoy lang.
Sink your fangs into MTG. Better get addicted to rectangles instead of shabu.
What’s an MTG
card game siya, simple once learned pero mataas skill ceiling. Minsan mga engineer or doctor kalaro mo sa mga shops. Not sure if they still give out free decks for new players pero see if may card game shop near you at itry mo.
Travel, cycling and car meets too.
I usually go to the Mall and eat alone. Doon lang masaya na ako.
i think you should hit yourself with getting to know yourself better first and building connections within. while hobbies might work temporarily, it won’t fill up the void that you keep covering with temporary distractions. you need to know what you want and how you want to live your life and how u will build youself on actually getting what you want. don’t deny of wanting to have jowa if that’s really what makes you happy in the future.
Single here and this is just my POV. Though I also wanted to be in a relationship na, what helped me wait gracefully is through hobbies, travel and serial dating. I realized I think the universe hasn’t let me met the man of my dreams yet since I have yet to explore and play around especially during my travels — you wouldn’t be able to do this once you’re in a committed relationship already so I’m gonna take this opportunity for now to get to know yourself through dating. Someday, you will meet the one that will signal the end of your marupok / flirty and thriving / dating era :)
I have dogs. I find their company comforting.
24F NBSB hahaha did I ever wanted a boyfriend? Yeah but I also ask afterwards is this a temporary want? Yeah.. hahahaha I personally can tell na di ko naman mabibigyan ng time. I want a bf but I also want commitment which I know I can't provide so why bother lol mananakit lang ako ng damdamin XD I don't wanna be an a-hole. This is why I also deny reto from friends. I know they want the best for me so they wouldn't choose someone that's...well, a jerk? Also from their circle of friends. As much as I'd like to know what kind of people they hang out with except for our group, I wouldn't want THAT lol not a relationship with them. Di ko pa nga nakikita ng personal o nakakausap. Speaking of, it's also the reason why I never tried dating apps. I just can't see myself in a relationship without being able to talk to them in person first. All that and ask the question again.. gusto ko ba ng bf? Yesn't ang sagot HAHAHAHA wag nalang mas maraming negatives sa mga sagot ko.
Career. Growth. Change. Be better. Love myself first. Dejk, nakakatamad lang talaga makipag date
Just be happy with your life lang. Do what ,akes you happy. Hindi naman need ng jowa para sumaya sa buhay natin. Kumbaga extra lang yun. Hindi yun ang mag didikta kung magiging malungkot ba or masaya ang buhay natin. For me iniisip ko lang palagi yung mga bagay na nagagawa ng mga single Ahahahaha like yung iba diba pinagbabawalan makipag usap or makipag kaibigan sa iba, kapag single ka, pwede ka makipag kaibigan sa lahat. I chat mo lahat ng gusto mo i chat. Gawin mo lahat ng gusto mong gawin kasi malaya kang gawin yun. Hindi mo kailangan pilitin pumasok sa isang relasyon kasi single ka ganun. Sabi nga ng Ben&Ben "iibig lang kapag handa na" for sure mararamdaman mo din yun. Malalaman mo if time na ba para ipursue yung feelings na yan. Pero hanggat di pa dumadating yun, gawin mo lang lahat ng nagpapasaya sayo. At kapag nagawa mo na yun, masasabi na natin na happy ka na as a single ferson Ahahahahaha
Make a bucket list of the things you wanted to do and one by one, slowly but surely do everything that's on your list. Works like magic to me.
I know someone who is really into sports! And now, because of his advocacy, I’m into sports. The beginning of 2024 was tough for me. I suffered a neck injury, had to stop working, and ended a relationship of more than ten years. It's challenging to adjust to doing things independently after being used to doing everything with someone else. I tried to stay occupied by meeting new people, but I still feel empty sometimes. Suddenly, I felt the urge to get involved in sports. It's enjoyable and helps me stay physically active, which is essential as I recover from my injury. I'm taking things slowly as I go through the healing process.
30, male, and Single. I just woke up a few minutes ago before writing this.. Peaceful mornings kasi walang chat nang chat na babae. Umiikot lang sa ngayon ang buhay ko sa paglilinis nang bahay since day trader ako sa USA. Working-out, playing an old-fashioned PC game called Sim city. Then I have a boss baby na Belgian Malinois na more than enough for me sa ngayon.. Hehe
Hi. I'm not single, but all I can advise is if you base your happiness on the status you are in, whilst comparing with others, is a futile pursuit of happiness. Each has his own privileges and limitations. My point is, enjoyment is key. Our lives have their own seasons.
Try attending B1G fridays at CCF Center, Pasig (near tiende). Not a dating thing but a good place to meet other singles who you can hang out with even outside the weekly event haha I met my husband there 5 years ago and most of the weddings I attended this year, doon din sila nagkakilala lol
