sumali ako ng natdem dati pero nabwisit lang ako
naparant ako dito dahil laganap na ulit ang usapan na "should we join natdem orgs" / "why join/not join natdem groups" sa fb dala ng inis ng karamihan sa gobyerno ngayon, and gets. i have nothing against it, pro for it tbh, pero shet nakakainis talaga kalakaran ng iba dyan
i support what natdem orgs stand for, kaya dati sumali ako sa isa post graduation. helped with some online things (pandemic kasi nun) din, etc. joined some online orientations and learning sessions too, which i appreciated a lot. naaral ko naman yung ibang ekek dun, pero yung iba, bago sakin, and as someone who loves learning, it was nice
the problem was the people running it. ayoko na mang name drop tutal ang tagal na, pero pag naaalala ko, nababanas ako lol
any question you have abt the ideology being taught, whether its against it or not, babaratin ka na "ganun lang kasi yun" or "yun kasi yung tama." i get na di naman lahat sila may educ degree or experience, but when u teach someone like that and leave no room for questions, nakakawalang gana mag aral at makipaglaban. diba ganun nga tayo ginagago ng mundo minsan,??? not letting us question things???
sanay rin ako sa rally, and i agree na it's a human right to do so lalo tayong ordinaryong mamamayan. but sometimes, some causes don't need a rally, not yet. sometimes, di pa kailangan din ng dahas (minsan nga di kailangan at all). pero pag sinabi ko yun sa chat, mapa suggest ba or comment Lang, ako pa yung masama. kesyo "siding with the oppressor" daw. ??????? tangina ano daw. ayun, wala na nga akong gana magsalita pag may talk, nawalan pa ako ng gana mag chat overall
a natdem is meant to unite people to promote democracy and all that. bakit parang lalo lang ako nagiging alien??? aba, may pa-pm pa minsan mga ibang head dyan, "gently reprimanding" me and correcting me kuno na mali daw ako, na there's only One Way to Do Things Right. na other options are wrong. tangina ano daw
tas yung orientations dati, pag na miss mo, may make up. ok valid. pero beh pandemic yun, syempre tangina ng mundo, di ka talaga makaka attend minsan, kahit make up. minessage ba naman ako sa mga social media ko na mag attend na. ampota??? partida di nakalagay totoong pangalan ko dun at di ko ibinigay ah. privacy??? then a friend who's part came forward and said sorry kasi na pressure siya sa kanila, so he had to give my stuff wtf
i explained to the ppl messaging na minsan talaga di nga kaya ng sched, pero wala. gawan ko daw ng paraan. aba taena pano? kung trabaho ko nga nun di ko magawa minsan, pano pa to?
i loooove studying i love learning.... basta di pilit. pag pinilit, ayoko na. school was hard bcs of this, lalo may adhd ako. i didnt bother asking na for accommodations or anything, na pwede ba self paced learning na lang etc. at this point, banas na banas na ako, especially with the breach of privacy and my friend being basically harassed to give my socials. i blocked everyone who messaged me, stalked the other leads and blocked them too, removed myself from the group, blocked it, and went social media detox
for a while, ginawa ko, i just go to natdem events, but never talk to anyone. pero ngayon mas gusto ko na lng pumunta sa mga rally. naiinis ako pag naalala ko exp ko kasi hay. better to just go on my own or with a group i know of na, and have close friends in/with. or just those friends mismo. we learn on our own time, and do things our way while keeping the public in mind. i join other causes na rin, but never natdem again. sobrang nakakastress isipin ulit
tbf, baka iba na ngayon. baka mas ok na ngayon. i support whoever wants to join natdem orgs. but always remember na while u all migjt fight for the same cause, sometimes your problem will be the people who are fighting with you. minsan sila yung problema
never stop fighting for your ideals and country, pero pag tao problema, baka may ibang paraan
