“Kung naguguluhan ka kung magte-text ka, ibig sabihin, gusto mo. Pero kung worth it ba? Iba na ‘yan, anak.” – Tita Chika

🚨 The Eternal Filipino Dilemma: "Magtext ba ako o wag na lang?"

You’re staring at your phone. May draft ka na sa Notes. Nag-retype ka na 3 times. Pero di mo pa rin ma-send. Sound familiar?

Well, let's break it down the Tita Chika way.

✅ Text Muna If…

1. You had a good convo last time
Kung nag-enjoy kayong mag-usap at parang bitin pa, go! Text mo. Friendly follow-up is lowkey flirty.

2. May rason ka
Baka may nakalimutang detail, or may inside joke kayong pwede ulit tawanan. Don't force it, just casual but clever.

3. Ikaw lagi huli mag-message
Kung ikaw laging last sa convo thread, maybe it’s time to initiate. Pakita rin na you care. Balance, anak.

🚫 Don’t Text If…

1. Guilt-text lang ‘yan
Kung nararamdaman mong "baka magalit siya kung di ko siya i-text", teka lang. You're not required to overextend.

2. You’re doing it for validation
Kung gusto mo lang maramdaman na “may gusto pa siya sa’kin”, that’s not flirting, that’s fishing.

3. Nakailang ‘seen’ ka na
Kung 3 seen zones na, wag mo nang gawing 4. Deserve mo ng effort, hindi charity.
