EN: carelessly, haphazardly, impulsively
That thing your mom warns you not to do when making life decisions, like falling in love with a 'red flag' or spending your entire sahod on 11.11. 'Huwag kang basta-basta magtitiwala!' is the national anthem of protective parents.
From Spanish 'basta' meaning 'enough' or 'stop', reduplicated to mean 'just any which way' or 'without consideration'.
The reduplication of 'basta' intensifies the meaning to imply a severe lack of care, thought, or preparation.
