Student Gets Good Grades, Still Receives Heartbreaking Message from Mom

A student shares the heartbreaking message she received from her mom, despite getting good grades – and many netizens are trying to cheer her up because she still got a final average of 89%. What do you think of her grades?

Student Shares Heartbreaking Message even with Good Grades

Do grades really define a student?

Grades are supposed to be feedback or measure of a student’s learning in school, and they’re used to rank the students based on their individual achievements.

Yet many would also agree that grades shouldn’t really define a person’s achievements in school or predict their future.

After all, there are many people who managed to succeed in life and become rich even when they got very low grades in school. Some “pasang-awa” (barely passing) students even wowed everyone after topping the board exams!

But for a student named “EOB” (real name withheld for privacy), good grades with no failing marks weren’t enough for her mom.

Disappointed sa grades, disappointed den sa sarili,” the young student posted in Facebook page Overthink. (Disappointed with my grades, also disappointed with self.)

The young student also shared a screenshot of her mother’s message, berating her for the “low” grades. This angry parent was also furious that, apparently, the young student isn’t on the top of the class ranking.

The parent also reminded the young student that they (mom and dad) were sending her to school but she isn’t doing well in school.

The post went viral, with many netizens defending the young student and assuring her that the grades were fine. Although her grades weren’t all over 90%, her lowest is 81% — that’s still several notches away from the 75% passing mark.

A lot of netizens also wanted to scold her mom for putting her down and not being proud of what she’s able to get.

While some netizens think she’s just flexing her grades, others felt bad about the convo she had with her mom.

Others also encouraged her to try harder to show her mom that she can truly do it.

Can You Post Report Cards on Social Media?

The DepEd (Department of Education) warned parents and guardians against posting report cards on social media because these can contain sensitive information such as the learner’s identification number that has all the student’s information.

It’s a good thing the post above is safe because the student only posted the grade part of the report card, not the front where the learner’s identification number is printed/written.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.
