Husband’s Appreciation Post for Wife Draws Mixed Reactions

A husband’s appreciation post for his wife drew mixed reactions on social media. Many were glad that he openly showed his appreciation to his wife, yet others think it was too much. Which side are you on?

Husband’s Appreciation Post for Wife Goes Viral

Society has long viewed women as second place to men, and that they’re expected to do the household chores even if they’re working. In some households, the women are even expected to work even if the man is jobless!

This kind of setup has long been accepted by society that most women just go with the flow, even if it’s something that they don’t like doing or even if they want to do something else. Many are even ignored or unappreciated by their husbands and other family members.

That’s why many netizens were happy after seeing a husband’s appreciation post for his wife recently on social media.

Mark Vincent Yap Nodado shared the exchange he had with his wife early that morning. My wife said this morning;

“10 years na pala akong graduate, parang wala akong personal achievements”
To which I immediately responded.
“Wag mo sabihin yan. Yung achievement ko, achievement mo. Kasi hindi ko naman magagawa ng wala ka ehh”
Totoo naman. Kaya nakakaalis ako para magsite kasi alam ko naaalagaan mo ng mabuti babies natin.
Kaya nga malakas loob ko, kasi alam ko you have my back and you will support my decisions.
Kaya kapag nagpost ako, hindi ko na chinecheck kasi alam ko na kung may typo, magmemessage ka kaagad.”

Everything was great up to this point, but netizens couldn’t help notice the “little things” he also appreciates about his wife because they think that his mindset about his wife is that she’s his helper.

“Kaya nga yung mga maliliit na bagay, hindi ko na napapansin kasi nandiyan ka naman.
-pag iwan ng tuwalya kung saan
-hindi pag flush hahaha
-paghagis ng damit
-simple things that I don’t notice anymore kasi alam ko nandiyan ka naman
Kaya nga may gising na gising ako sa pagdridrive kasi kapag malayo yung site, hihintayin ko yung kape mo.
And kaya kapag may talk ako, may boses ako kasi nandiyan yung turmeric ko.
Kaya kapag pagod na pagod ako, alam ko dadatnan ko or lulutuin mo na ulam.”

Still, there were also many netizens who were happy about his appreciation post, saying that those are the things that many wives are doing without being thanked for.

He ended the post with much love and appreciation for his wife – and the people who admired the post said that it’s best to focus on the overall gist of the post and how he’s trying to uplift his wife.

“Hindi totoong wala kang achievement, kahit personal, sa pagiging financial advisor mo, sa mga plantitas mo, sa pagiging taga review ko ng documents. Dami mo ng na achieve.
Yung mga anak natin, mababait, matatalino and loving kasi nandiyan ka lagi. Mas pinili mo yung freelance work para mas marami kang time sa kanila, sa amin.
And dahil nandiyan ka, I’m free to reach higher. That’s why every achievement I get, you are a big part of it.
You are the scaffolding to my structure, in the end, people won’t see what you’ve done, but this structure won’t go higher without you.
I love you”.”

After all, behind every man’s success is a woman, right?

What do you think of this appreciation post?

“Not every man would commend his wife the way you did, so inspiring and full of love…. Salute to you sir and wishing you many more fruitful years with Miss Mhei,” says one of the top comments.

“Agree po ako, Engr. Mark, mangangapa po tayo sa dilim kung walang ilaw ng tahanan. Dahil sa matinding suporta ni misis po ninyo ay nagawa at natapos ninyo ang bahay namin. Maraming salamat po sa inyo,” another wrote.

But others don’t agree.

“Sorry, but I do not find this romantic at all, tbh. Ito ata yung sinasabi ni Isko na “supreme sacrifice”. Dude, even the easiest of the house chores (e.g. pagsampay ng tuwalya, pagflush ng toilet, paglagay ng damit sa laundry bag), inaasa mo pa sa kanya?” one netizen wrote.

“Seriously, kinikilig kayo dito? When I read it, I felt sad for the wife. All his husband thinks about is himself and how he can get higher while the wife is stagnant attending to his needs,” another commented.

Wife’s Role in the House

In many marriages, the wife is still expected to take care of her husband, the house, and the kids. But in modern families, many couples share the burden of the chores and caring for the kids and each other.

Some households even have a “househusband” with the wife being the breadwinner and the husband at home to care for the kids.

Teen Ridiculed for Charles & Keith “Luxury Bag,” Now a Model of Several Brands

A teen ridiculed for Charles & Keith “luxury bag” gets the last laugh after the brand signed her up as their model.

But that’s not all. She has also become the face of other brands, including an airline! Wow.

Let’s just say that those who mocked her aren’t laughing now, huh?

Teen Ridiculed for Charles & Keith Bag Becomes a Model

When 17-year-old Singapore-based Pinay teen Zoe Gabriel happily posted about her “first luxury bag” after getting a Charles & Keith tote as a present from her dad, several netizens mocked her.

Some were even mean enough to comment on her post, pointing out that Charles & Keith isn’t a luxury brand.

Other netizens jumped to her rescue, assuring the young girl that “luxury” is relevant and she was right in considering the bag a luxury, especially because her dad bought it with his hard-earned money as an OFW (overseas Filipino worker).

Soon, Zoe and her dad were invited to the brand’s headquarters where they had a tour of the facility. The brand also gave her more bags.

Later, it was announced that Zoe is the newest model for Charles & Keith.

But her turn of luck didn’t stop there. After visiting Charles & Keith, she was also invited by other brands for a visit and got freebies from restaurants and other companies in the area.

Recently, it was also revealed that the teen isn’t just modeling for Charles & Keith but has also been signed up as the face for several other brands.

For example, she can be seen wearing an AirAsia cabin attendant’s uniform while dancing to a TikTok video posted by the airline.

The future seems bright for this young lady – and it all started when people laughed at her over an innocent, happy post.

Good luck, Zoe Gabriel!

Family’s Funny Convo Goes Viral after Kids ‘Reprimand’ Parents for Staying Out Late

A family’s funny convo goes viral after a role reversal that many netizens can relate with, as the kids jokingly “reprimand” their parents for staying out late. Cool or not?

Family’s Funny Convo Goes Viral

Parents are expected to discipline their children and make sure that they’re following the house rules, focus on their studies, and be home at certain hours or before the curfew.

Of course, many parents don’t impose a strict curfew but they do expect their children to be home. It isn’t surprising that many parents get angry at their children if the kids stay out late at night, especially during school days.

And many of us can just hear what our parents usually tell us – how we should be home early, what we’re supposed to do, what we shouldn’t do while out, etc.

So, imagine what happens when the roles are reversed and the kids are left at home while their parents are out late, just hanging out with their friends or with each other.

The situation can turn hilarious, just like what happened to the family of a certain netizen “VM” whose convo went viral on Pilipino Star Ngayon Digital.

According to their convo, the parents were out somewhere, with Grace (obviously the mom) sharing a selfie to their GC. It was posted close to 8 PM.

One of the kids, Michael, immediately replied and “reprimanded” their parents, asking where they were and “accusing” the two of going out to have fun.

Another child, Ejay, pointed out that it was already night and their parents should already go home.

The rest of the convo used phrases that parents usually tell their kids when they’re still out, adding that they’re “hard-headed.”

This entire convo is a joke, of course, but many netizens had a good laugh about it.

Some netizens even “advised” the kids to refrain from being too strict with their parents because they might rebel against them. LOL

VM later clarified that the couple, their parents, do get out often these days, but that’s only because their kids are all adults already. Only one child, their youngest, is left at home with them.

The convo is a running joke in the family – and we all think that’s sweet because their easy banter shows that they’re a close-knit family.

What’s a Close-Knit Family?

The term is used for a family or group of people that have close bonds or ties with each other. They can be closely related or have a very close friendship – and they support each other.

Makeup Artist Fulfills Promise to Ex-GF on Her Wedding Day

A makeup artist fulfills his promise to his ex-girlfriend on her wedding day. Although it wasn’t exactly what he had in mind when he made the promise, he’s proud to say he was able to make it!

Would you fulfill your promise to an ex even if you’ve already broken up?

Guy Becomes Ex-GF’s Makeup Artist on Her Wedding Day

It’s difficult to fulfill a promise to an ex – especially when you made the promise while you were still together but you’re no longer a couple now.

But that’s not an issue for Ericson Pascual.

Back in the day, he didn’t have any money to buy a gift for his then-girlfriend. But he promised to make her the most beautiful bride on her wedding day.

It was the best thing that he could think of to promise her at the time. However, fate had other plans for the young couple and they broke up.

What’s amazing is that even if they are no longer together, Pascual was still able to fulfill his promise to her – he made her the most beautiful bride on her wedding day.

However, in this twist of fate, Pascual wasn’t the groom that made her beautiful. Instead, he literally made her beautiful because he’s her makeup artist!

Replying to @Mae hoy bakit ako naiiyak habang ineedit to 😁🥺😢 highschool pa yun e #wedding #weddingmakeupartist #tiktokph #fry #makeupartistph

While many people couldn’t believe that he actually did it and that the groom actually allowed it (considering he’s the bride’s ex-boyfriend!), it appears that he’s chill with the couple as he even posed with the two, with the labels “past” and “present” placed on their images. Whoa.

Some netizens think it must have hurt Pascual to do this to his ex, but it appears that he’s actually so happy to have fulfilled his promise even if it wasn’t something that he had planned on.

What’s the Cost of Hiring a Wedding Makeup & Hair Stylist?

How much do weddings typically cost in the Philippines? You’ll be surprised that a huge chunk of the budget goes to the bride, including her hair and makeup.

For example, while the wedding gown typically costs anywhere from Php5,000 to Php80,000, the hair and makeup can also go as high as Php7,500 to Php30,000.
