"Magre-resign na ba ako?"
"Should I choose the higher paying job kahit mas stressful?"
"I want this job but the salary is low."
"Is having a fight with my boss enough reason to leave my job?"
Titas, we've probably asked this question to ourselves at least once. In this episode, we talk about our experiences in shifting jobs, changing career directions, and everything in between! This conversation is your perfect companion while you're, well, working. ;)
No matter where you are in your career, you can relate to our shared stories for sure! Grab your tea or coffee and join us in this chikahan!
FEB-ibig nanaman, titas!

"Magkaka-savings and investment na ako this year!"
Promise niyo din ba sa sarili niyo ito, titas? Well, support namin kayo dyan! Kaya we invited a very special guest for this episode-- a Certified Financial Planner and a certified tita, Chai Santiago-Gamo.
We know financial planning sounds intimidating for many, but the reality is, kailangan natin ito harapin if we want the best future for ourselves and our future families. :) And spoiler alert: we don't need to suffer now to enjoy the benefits later on! Pwede natin i-balance ito nang tama kaya tara't pagkwentuhan na natin 'to!

Titas, we dare you to hope again.
Even if your prayers have long been unanswered.
Even if your miracle has yet to come.
Even if you’re tired of praying.
Even if God has been silent for too long.
We dare you, hope again.
Even if you are angry.
Even if you are afraid.
Even if you are frustrated.
Even if you are doubtful.
We dare you, beautiful, to cling to that last tiny bit of hope. We dare you to come to God and ask Him again. Ask one more time. Pray one more broken prayer. Tell Him that you have lost all hope, but here you are, asking again.
We dare you.
Why are we asking this of you? Because, beautiful, we believe that even if you have lost all hope, God is still good. God is still faithful. And God is holding on to the hopes that you’ve let go of, in your fear. God has never given up on you, even if you’ve already given up on Him.
Dare to ask one more time. Then dare to ask again.
God listens. God knows. And God delivers.
Dare to hope again. :)
Happy New Year, Titas!
While many celebrated, did you welcome the New Year with a troubled heart and unfinished businesses? Raise your hand if you can relate! Let's be honest here-- not everyone welcomed 2022 with a hopeful, fresh mindset. Some of us are still battling things from the past, still waiting on unanswered prayers, or just want to continue what they started in the past year.
But hey, you're not alone! Pagkwentuhan natin yan. :) Welcome to our first episode this 2022!
Sharing with you our biggest blessings and life lessons this 2021. :)
Join us for a quick kwentuhan on the year that was, and our hopeful prayers for the next year (or years) to come!
Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
Yes, new episode ito! :D
We're back after a few weeks' break to talk about our holiday spending! Saan nga ba napupunta ang ating mga 13th month pay and Christmas bonus? Mahilig ba kayong mag-regalo ng mamahalin, o yung hindi naman mahal pero madaming mabibigyan? Is there really a right way to spend for the holidays?
Join us sa aming kwentuhan on how we like to prepare and how we spend our hard-earned money during this joyous season of giving. <3
Low batt na ba kayo, titas? Just like our gadgets, we need regular charging too-- physically, mentally, emotionally and even spiritually. That's why it's important that we plug in to the Source: GOD.
In this episode, we talk about the status of our prayer life, how we (try to) manage to pray despite our busy schedules, and the overall importance of prayer. Also, we partnered with Feast Books-- leading local publisher of inspirational books, magazines and prayer devotionals, for this episode! It's our first ever partnership for Tea Time Thursdays, so this is really very special to us! :)
So want to make prayer a habit? Let's start now!
PS: Know more about Feast Books at www.feastbooks.ph
Kamusta naman ang mga love life natin ngayong pandemic, titas? :D
If you're single, paano ka nag-mimingle? Are you open to meeting people online?
In this episode, we talked to a tita who found true love in a dating app! They're now married with a beautiful baby girl. O, diba? Pwede pala! Listen and learn from her online dating experience, as she shares her struggles and wins in online dating.
Hello again, mga titas!
Have you ever wondered what's it like to become vegan? Or maybe you've considered it due to personal reasons? If you're generally curious about veganism and its difference from being vegetarian or plant- based, then this episode is for you!
In this episode, we talked to a vegan friend, Jemie Lou Fronda who talks about her transition story, why she decided to become vegan, and how she maintains her relationship with non-vegan friends and family.
So grab your tea or coffee (maybe vegan!) and pag-usapan natin ito. :)
Titas, what are the things or events that we tend to overthink about?
In this episode, we share the things that we always overthink on-- work, relationships, emotions, life goals, and everything in between; then how we deal with it when overthinking strikes. If you can relate, tara, pagusapan natin dito, titas. :)
Time to stop overthinking so sit back, relax and enjoy your cup of tea with us!
During trying times, it's easier to sulk while we drown in all the negative things surrounding us. But titas, for our sanity and wellbeing, we need to learn to find positivity amidst chaos. Remaining to be optimistic and hopeful can really help us not only with our own happiness, but also with the happiness of the people around us.
In this episode, we sat down with a very optimistic and happy tita, Erika Ventura. She is an HR professional and a loving wife and business partner to Hype Streetball's Nino Ventura on YouTube! Oras nanaman para sa isang chikahan na puno ng ka-titahan and katatawanan. :)
Titas, when was the last time you made a big life decision?
"Should I resign from this job?", "Should I say yes to my suitor?", "Should I grab this opportunity abroad?", "Am I really for married life?"
Ang hirap, no? There are a lot of questions running through our minds whenever we have to make major decisions, like "What if I make a mistake?".
It's easy to overthink the worst scenarios or outcome. So in this episode, we share how we undergo the process of major decision making, and how we learned to let go of the things we can no longer control.
Happy listening, titas!
We're baaack!
The titas took a break and now we're opening Season 2! We'd like to thank all of our listeners for journeying with us throughout all the chikahan and tawanan. :) Expect more #honesthonesthonest stories and nakaka-hook na kwentuhan with more guests in our new season!
In this first episode, let's talk about handling our emotions, especially in these trying times. Yes, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by everything. But at the end of the day, we need to accept things and do our best to move forward. Tara, pag-usapan natin. :)
Titas, are you proud of your bodies? Do you see all its good features, or do you tend to focus more on the parts that you don't like? Do you feel confident when you see yourself in the mirror?
Society has given us false standards of what a "beautiful body" should look like, and we've been doing everything to fit into these parameters. Titas, eating healthy and having regular exercise are good habits. But let's look at our main WHY. Why do we want to lose or gain weight? Why do we want bigger breasts, smaller waistlines, taller heights, leaner arms, etc.? Are we really doing these to appreciate our bodies, or is it because of something else?
In this meaningful season ender, we chat once again with psychologist, author and self-care maker, Dr. Michele Alignay, to really dig deep into why almost all women have a negative body image. Tara na't mag tawanan at chikahan. :)

Titas, nafeel niyo na ba yung parang kayo lang yung nagmamahal? OUCH! Pero as benefit of the doubt, baka naman magkaiba lang kayo ng love language. We have five love languages according to Gary Chapman: Gifts, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Physical Touch and Words of Affirmation. In order to sustain loving relationships (all kinds), we need to be intentional in knowing our own love language, and our loved ones' as well.
So we hope this episode helps you learn more about it! Grab your coffee or tea and let's have another fun chikahan!
There are many reasons why we sometimes doubt ourselves, but one thing is for sure. You are not alone! All of us, no matter how accomplished we may be, still experience self-doubts. In this episode, we talk about how we deal and overcome moments of self-doubt. Kaya natin 'to, titas! No matter what, remember that you are worthy, you are loved.
Mag-chikahan tayo this rainy evening, titas! Paano nga ba masasabi if unhealthy or toxic na ang relationship nyo? Also, how will you know naman if you're loving yourself the healthy way?
Titas, it's time to find the strength to get out of a toxic relationship so you can find the healthy love God intended for you. In this episode, we invited the bestselling author of "Love Yourself as God Loves You" and "Unlove: Heal Yourself from Toxic Romance and Love in a Healthy Way", Ms. Marjorie Duterte.
Mental health is a big issue that almost all of us can relate with. Lahat tayo may pinagdadaanan, and we have different ways in coping with stress, anxiety, sadness, and depression. In this episode, we deep dive into mental health-- signs and symptoms of anxiety, sadness or depression, and how to deal with it. To make this episode informative and educational, we invited a psychiatrist to join us, Dr. Jewel Carpio.

Do you sometimes find yourself wanting to buy branded clothes, bags, or shoes, just because you feel more confident in them? Yung for some reason, you're willing to spend P2000, P3,000, P5,000, P10,000 or even P50,000 or P100,000 for certain branded items? If your honest answer is YES, we feel you, titas!
We're not here to throw shade at anyone, because we also have our occasional splurges. And we also have some things that we'll never splurge on! But at the same time, let's also assess ourselves-- why are we really buying these things? Do they serve a specific purpose in our life? Or sometimes, are we only "justifying" these purposes so we won't feel guilty afterwards? (aminin!!!)
Here's another #honesthonesthonesthonest session with the titas!
