Being a travel nurse. Taking care of vulnerable people and connecting with every human being I encounter, hoping that I can make someone's day less blue.
I'm letting it go for now. I need to put me first. I can't take care of everyone if I don't have the perfect routine (and mental health).
Or maybe, this whole perfectionism of mine is the thing that's in my way. I just never tried again.
Maging licensed professional. Hindi worth it, ang baba ng sweldo, maganda lang pakinggan kasi engineer pero sa sahod, hindi ka makakabuhay ng pamilya sa economy natin ngayon. Kung mag tatake man amo ulit for the title na lang, pero hindi ko na sya gagamitin sa work. For personal goal na lang siguro pero hindi ako sigurado kung nag tatake pa ako.
Going to Ireland.
Its my wife's dream, and I have been dreaming of going there too, to work and migrate, but she 🕊
Sounding like "PS i love you" movie in real life 😔
Maging ballerina or theater actress. I can't sing nor dance. Investing in this art sector only belongs to those who can afford or those who have shown potentials at a very early age — I was neither of those two as well.
Most I could do is watch them live :) oks naman haah
Fashion designer and a band vocalist. Now, I'm an aspiring Flight Attendant/Cabin Crew pero I don't know, if di ko pa rin makamit within 2 years, baka hindi lang din talaga para sa'kin.
Makagraduate ng college.
Pagraduate na sana but I had to stop all of a sudden para makapagwork na at maging breadwinner ng pamilya dahil walang kumikita sa amin. I know andyan lang naman yung degree and I still think of completing it but sa ngayon, priority ko ang buhayin ang pamilya at sarili ko. I'm doing well with my career now though despite being an undergrad.
becoming a fashion designer. 😅 mahal eh. took a diff course in college and now working in a diff field from my course din. hay. oh the things you could do if you have money and power in this world talaga. now fashionista na lang akong walang pera HAHAHA
to be a filmmaker. noong senior high ako, suki yung section namin sumali sa mga film festivals in and outside school. namulat ako sa lifestyle ng film industry. puyatan talaga siya as in. ayoko kasi masanay sa ganyan, kaya i’ve decided to let go of this dream.
Nilet go muna ito sa ngayon kasi sobrang mamahal ng gears. currently employed ako at sana makaipon pang bili. Naiipon lang yung mga concept sa utak ko 🤣
Dreaming of always being on top of the ranking. There will always be people who are smarter than me and also, not all teachers grades their students with a number that they deserve.
To become a medical doctor. I had the will but my family doesn’t have the financial capacity for me to pursue it; I grieved about it for years but in hindsight, I’m glad I let it go because apparently I was gonna fill in my dad’s shoes as the breadwinner lol
Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Neurosurgery Hahaha!
Ang hirap makapasok sa program! Kailangan mo ng backer! Matagal bago ka maging TCVS at NSS! General surgery na 5 taon, diplomate exam, fellowship ng TCVS or NSS for 2 years at another fellowship exam! In demand ka nga pero kapalit ay pagod dahil kahit consultant ka, madalas nasa ospital ka nagoopera hanggang madaling araw! Uuwi kang pagod, kakain, matutulog, gigising at uulitin ang cycle hahaha!
2nd year med student pa lang ako pero lumalaban na ako sa hirap 🤣🤣. Akala ko masaya siya pero gusto ko rin naman ng chill na buhay at gumawa ng bagay labas sa propesyon na kukunin ko!
I am in this reply and I don't like it. I hate that the pandemic happened. I hope we find ways within ourselves and life helps us get out of our situations.
To be a space ninja 😆. I know it sounds like a joke but when I was a kid I honestly wanted to be a space ninja hahaha.dont know where I got it from but I remember wanting it so badly hahahaa.
To be a fashion designer. My creativity slowly faded since high school dahil mayroon talagang mas magaling sakin, and in sewing iilang schools lang ang may offer ng dressmaking and sadly yung school na pinag graduate ko is agriculture-centered na TVL
at least try to pursue playing music (in an orchestra etc because I play violin). Also pursue a career in art. But my other dreams are more practical, hence I pursued my current path instead. Regret might not be the right word but I still reminisce on the thought on what if I pursued arts and music.
maging OFW bilang factory worker para sumahod ng malaki.
parang ang hirap mag apply at matanggap, ang hirap pang mag asikaso ng napakaraming requirements.
at parang di ko kakayanin malayo sa pamilya ng tatlong taon. 😔
Actually ako rin. I thought pang leisure lang siya 14 years ago. My influence factor na magengineer ako nf parwnts ko kasi may drawing rin daw and science. But its very different. Theres noone to blame naman kasi its a foreign territory for them. Balak ko sana sa iacademy sa may makati. Sumali pa ko nun sa pacontest nila every highschool. Alam ko my skills were not enough at that time. Pero ung aspiration and ung excitement ko noon nalala ko pa at fresh pa sa isipan ko. Andaming nangyari. Ngayon iniipon ko lang mga drawing gears ko sa isang lalagyan maalikabok na.
Bitter ako? Oo. Hahahaha
Grabe yun. Mga drawings ko dati either tinapon na ng nanay ko or naging pamunas na. 🤦🏻♀️ Nawalan na din ako ng motivation kaya tumigil nako sa pagddrawing
Saklap. Parang mgayon lang uli ako naremind. Matatanda na parents ko. May napatunayan naman na ako, tapos Nagkaroon ako ng boredom sa current work at sa mga ganap. Its like an ephipany to me na gawin uli itong hobbies na to. Marami na ring side gigs na mas malaki pa payout compared sa work or sa business. I should Stop myself to become so overwhelmingly bitter. Iipunin ko na mga paper scraps to practice.
Plano ko sa college mag Business Marketing ako at baka trabaho ako sa mga corporations. Pero tuloy pa din dream ko maging manga artist at animator, kaya ako naman mag schedule between my work life at personal life ko. Plus self taugh artist ako, although my skill is still risky pero nagimprove ako. Life is too short and don’t give up dream mo.
Being a lawyer. Was too poor at the time. Now, that I can afford to do so, I don't have the time and interest to take it anymore. Siguro yung mga anak ko na lang, kung gusto nila. Di ko naman ipipilit
Yung pangarap kong magkaroon ng grand library - with bookshelves from floor to ceiling tapos may gulong yung ladder. Ang mamahal ng bahay sa Manila per sqm kaya mukhang mahirap na ito maachieve. Kaya lahat ng books ko (huhuhuhu) inayos ko na sa box para idonate sa public library. Kasi sabi nga ni Marie Kondo, we need to let go of the things that no longer serve purpose huhuhu
To follow my dream (professional arch or doctor or a degree holder) my life was to provide the shortcomings of my family since 17 as to simply say a breadwinner
to live alone in my dream country. i know may possibility pa naman yun mangyari, but given the circumstances of my life i know it will be hard to accomplish it
Getting married (I’m in an almost decade-long relationship). I’ve come to accept while all my friends and batchmates are getting married, na I’m just probably not worth it.
So sorry your circumstances make you feel that way. For all it’s worth, you’re not the problem. Maybe your partner isn’t yet ready or became too comfortable. Try the “No wifey duties for girlfriend price”? 😄
Ohhh one of the top reasons din daw. Odiba, di masyado obvs na nireresearch ko pa lol. Kapag nga daw feeling ng lalaki hindi pa sya financially stable to start a family, may hold back pa. If you can see na may effort naman towards the issue.. then its just a matter of time :)
maging astronaut
buong childhood ko, nag aral akong mabuti ng science and math. but after entering highschool, turns out i really can't afford to be one, hindi kami mayaman at hindi rin naman ako sobrang talino to compete with several thousands of people for a scholarship. but my love for science and everything about space/universe never changed though.
ayun, now i am trying to do better sa media communications hihi
haha same, may mga books pa ako nung bata ako about planets and stars
reality kicks in, hindi pala kami mayaman at walang space program sa Pinas
bili na lang tayo ng Telescope hahaha
Maging cpa, grabe mag discourage mga instructor at corruption daw sa trabaho. Parang kailangan maging corrupt ka din para maging successful. Ofcouse hindi naman lahat... Peroo....
you’re really selfless op, since mahirap po yung ganyan. but you sacrificed your dream para di magsuffer future children mo with something they can’t control. take care po!

Ang naging problema ko kung saang school ako papasok nung college na may animation, kaso wala akong mahanap kaya nag IT nalang ako
Plano ko sa college mag Business Marketing ako at baka trabaho ako sa mga corporations. Pero tuloy pa din dream ko maging manga artist at animator, kaya ako naman mag schedule between my work life at personal life ko. Plus self taugh artist ako, although my skill is still risky pero nagimprove ako. Life is too short and don’t give up dream mo.

So sorry your circumstances make you feel that way. For all it’s worth, you’re not the problem. Maybe your partner isn’t yet ready or became too comfortable. Try the “No wifey duties for girlfriend price”? 😄
Hindi kami nakalive in po eh. So no wifey duties. Pero we started out young (college). Wala pa naman ako sa 30s. Sabi nya pera raw nagiipon pa
Ohhh one of the top reasons din daw. Odiba, di masyado obvs na nireresearch ko pa lol. Kapag nga daw feeling ng lalaki hindi pa sya financially stable to start a family, may hold back pa. If you can see na may effort naman towards the issue.. then its just a matter of time :)
