      friendly reminder: gender and sexuality are separate concepts. info provided refers to the latter.
      i understand the confusion because most govt forms use ‘sex’ when referring to the former.

    went into this massage place less than 5 minutes away from my place and coolio they’re open til 2am

    the receptionist was this sketch dude who you probably won’t even trust to run even an internet cafe lmao

    he offered the 2-hour package but i figured maybe i’ll do 1.5 for now

    ugh the place feels sketchier than i’m giving it credit

    “um pwede po ba yung 1 hour package na lang”

    “ay sir nasulat ko na po kasi” points to some accounting book thing

    “pwede po 1 hour na lang pero same price” me internally: WTFFFFFFFFFFF HWELP MEIH

    ate therapist: ge okay lang yan

    proceeds to give hopefully the blandest massage of my life, but it’s not terrible so okay they’re trying

    3/4 of the way through, ate therapist: sir gusto niyo po yung extra service something something

    wat

    me: de okay lang thx

    ate goes out to get towel to wipe out oil

    ate therapist pagbalik: try niyo po? try niyo po?

    me: ah hinde hehe

    kuya receptionist/scammaz: hands out P400 change for a P1000 payment for a P499 massage

    me: eto na lang amin na 1k q abot 500 para sa math

    internally: keep the change HAHAHAHA pls let me go

    tip kay ate kahit papano because she’s probably trying to just do shit

    kinda weird. HUHUHU sana di nila ako makasalubong sa daan they’re literally less than 5mins away

    also i wonder ano pakiramdam ni ate na mahindian siya sa ganong offer HAHA

    and the environment just feels sooooo uninspired i know it’s the kind of work that most people would rather not want to get into pero the therapists i’ve been with who do well talagang may difference na you can tell they try to master their craft. if most of the bland therapists can be inspired by someone to do better (and ofc be paid well) they’d probably do a better job and get more regulars and better tips

      You got into what’s called a “spakol” which is spa + jak*l. Those kind of places never give the best quality massage

    Mabubuking na atheist ako sa family. Nagbebenta ng raffle ticket para pagpapaganda ng simbahan dito. Ayoko bumili, marami naman pera ang simbahan at hindi pa nagbabayad ng tax. Last time bumili ako kasi para sa schools daw un pero ngayon, para sa kanila na mismo. Wala ako maisip na magandang reason na ibigay. Kasi dito, kung against ka sa simbahan, demonyo ka.

    Damn, Team USA has the same W/L record as Slovenia and lost to the same three teams. I guess Luka has some semblance of a morale victory.

    Parang mas nagiging scaredy cat ako over time. I’ve been reading The Exorcist (novel) and I find that I don’t want to continue reading it if: one, I know I’m alone at work and it’s midnight and two, I’m in the middle of reading a scary, eventful scene tapos inaantok na ako.

    The thing is kailangan ko talaga tapusin yung scene otherwise feeling ko mapapaginipan ko yung very eventful scene because I’ll be wondering about how a certain chapter ended. Do I want to dream about possessed Reagan doing terrible things to herself? Nah. The last thing I wanna read about it how our Jesuit priest is preparing a lecture or having a normal conversation with another priest.

    The same goes for horror movies 😔 ba’t kaya ganun na ako? Hindi naman ako sobrang takot, basta alam kong may human presence within the area I feel assured. I think this started nung talagang puro night shift na ako lol. I don’t feel so brave anymore 😆

      I can’t consume supernatural-themed horror flicks for the same reason.

      Like you, hindi ako takot pag may kasama. I dread the moment na lingering yung scene sa isip ko and walang tao.

      I don’t understand how you can do this to yourself given na night shift ka pa. I could never.
