My grandma always said “toodaloo” instead of goodbye because she hated goodbyes. When she passed away we were on our way to bury her ashes in the cemetery and we were stopped at a traffic light. There was a red Pontiac Sunfire in front of us with a license plate that said “toodaloo” on it. I kid you not we all lost our minds and started crying.
What people need to understand abt Sen. Risa is she won’t pursue smth unless it is a smoking gun. Again, review tayo ng mga cases na inimbestigahan nya: Alice Guo, POGOs, Quiboloy—all of them had results. Hindi ko talaga nagegets yung repulsion ng mga tao sa inquiries.
may humor talaga si Lord ‘no? sabi ko kanina gusto ko ng coco. then a few minutes later, may kumatok samin. nagbigay ng bigas, ako yung nag receive. tapos ang nakakatawa don, yung brand ng bigas may “coco” na nakalagay 😭 sana pala mas naging specific ako sa pag wish HAHQHAJAJAHS
I'm just gonna say it.
Okay lang if may ma-offend sa team nya, but I honestly think they fumbled this one.
Parang hindi naipakita kay Sen. Risa kung gaano kalawak ang reach ng WinRi across different generations. She kept referring to us as "mga bata," when in reality, ang daming moms, professionals, at even older supporters sa Facebook ang openly defending her ngayon because kinilig sila sa WinRi.
I think they could have prepared her better. Kahit simpleng heads-up lang about who the fandom actually is, or even asking Karen beforehand to steer clear of WinRi questions if they didn't want to entertain them. Sometimes preserving the mystery is the smarter PR move.
What disappoints me the most is that it feels like she thinks the "Winners" are just a bunch of giggly fifteen-year-olds.
We're not.
A lot of us are working professionals. We have careers, families, mortgages, bills, and taxes to pay. We just happen to enjoy this little corner of the internet because it's a fun escape from everything else.
For context, I've been watching Senate sessions since the Erap impeachment. Marami sa amin ang matagal nang politically aware. We didn't start paying attention because of a ship, we stayed because we genuinely care about public service, and WinRi just happened to make that space feel a little lighter.
That's why this whole thing feels so disappointing.
She doesn't owe us anything. We all know that. Pero ang hirap na yung efforts of the fandom is being reduced to this.
...When asked why he left early he said, "Today I logged in to work at 7:54 AM. Thats 6 minutes early. So by your policy logic I get to leave an hour early. See you tomorrow."
According to psychology, the urge to immediately fix a partner’s or friend’s distress instead of just sitting with them in it isn't empathy; it is your own low frustration tolerance. When someone you love is hurting, and you instantly jump into problem-solving mode, offering unsolicited advice or trying to find a silver lining, you are often trying to soothe your own secondary anxiety. You aren't rescuing them from their pain; you are rescuing yourself from the discomfort of witnessing a vulnerability you don't know how to hold.
