On Patience

Even the most patient can lose their patience.

On AIDS

One of the toughest things is to look for something to do when there are no tasks assigned the entire day. It is truly a talent to appear as if doing something a.k.a AIDS. It occasionally feels great to have a breather. However, I would gladly give up that breather in exchange for one time big time.

It seems like I have learned the art of AIDS, but I beg you, I am sick of it. Give me something to do! Rawr.

On All Talk

Never say stuff if you have no plans on doing it.
Never make people expect then not do your part.

If you do,
maybe when you ask them to do their part,
they will never be there for you.

Mark my word, NEVER.

On No Tissue

Not having tissue and toilet papers in the pantries and comfort rooms is the latest craze in the office. Is this one of their cost reduction methods that goes with earth hour which extends to earth day?

Now I wonder where the budget came from and the pantries are now day care color like?

On Drama

I just hate (I know hate is such a harsh word, but that is how I feel) it when people make such a huge fuzz of something when in reality it is nothing. In addition, people do not care on what that so-called fuzz is all about.

Do not get offended if people did not react to your "pampansin" actions, because like what I mentioned, they do not care.

The world does not revolve about you. Everyone has their own dramas. So please... grow up.

On Religious Obligations

I often wonder why people attend those religious obligations but their minds are elsewhere...

On Waiting for Life

First, why am I like this even if there is no assurance that things will turn out how I want. Secondly, why the hell am I putting myself in a situation that is killing me deep down. Lastly, why would I settle for something ordinary when there is someone extraordinary out there who not only loves me but respects me as well?

I guess I am like this cause being the hopeless romantic that I am; secretly I am wishing that things would eventually go my way. Maybe I do have a special feeling towards him because I am sort of allowing him to cause me pain. Finally, maybe I have not found the one yet that is why I am still entertaining him. Whatever!

Waiting is the most important thing we can do for the one we love. Nevertheless, it can prove one thing, as it goes, it can also change minds.

I am tired. Easter = new life. I guess now is the right time for a new rejuvenated me.

Hello world!

On Catching Up

Catching up with someone whom you have not seen and spoken to for the longest time is one of the most fantastic feelings in the whole wide world... make it universe!

'Nuff said.

On Saving Leaves

Going to work while 90% of the people in your project or in the office are on leave tends to give off a different environment. Lights were switched off the whole time that I think is a sort of lame cost cutting idea since I was in the area. My inbox was relatively quiet compared to the tons of messages received daily.

Not taking a leave while 90% of the project is on leave is boring but very very relaxing. At least I have saved 2 days vacation leave time just by petiks.

Child Talk

My niece asked these question to his gay uncle

Why are you sooo white?
In fairness, his face was really really white. As in, then match it with the plucked eyebrows and highlighted hair. Badingarsy alert!

Why are you wearing lipstick?
Promise, it was soooo red!

I love kids! They are so honest. They point out the obvious. I cannot believe that his/her.. its parents are mum about the situation.

Accepted na ba?

You Tell Me

Just because I do not talk much
Just because I look mataray
Just because I choose to have my own world at times

Does that make me suplada?

Just because I mess around
Just because I ride along with the jokes
Just because I am teasingly hali

Does that make me a flirt?

Are not those stuff I mentioned opposites?
So am I suplada or a flirt?
You tell me.

Whatever your answer may be, I will respect it because that is your opinion.
Then again, I know who I am.

I am just curious on why some people perceive me as such…
Do I sense insecurity… :)

On Starting A New Life

They say that success is picking yourself up after you have fallen and failed.

Defeat is really a tough pill to swallow. The thing what annoys me is that I know deep down that I could have performed waaay much better. It is useless to rant and be infuriated now. There is nothing I can do about it anymore. The moment has passed by already. The whole thing is just another addition to my pile of learning experiences. Oh well.

However, like what I mentioned countless times before, in every competition, there will always be a winner and the other. Too bad for my team that we find ourselves as part of the other once again.

I guess it would be better for me to move on. So today, I officially mark it as the first day of my preparation for my next tournament --- whenever that will be. I am still an athlete, thus I should be responsible enough and live as one. I hope that I will have the determination and perseverance to stand up for my declaration. So help me God.

On The Hidden Truth

A Townhall was held last February. One of the topics raised concerned the so-called crisis. The biggies did not deny that they had to let go of people however, they assured the people left behind that we are doing great.

The people came out confident after the Townhall with the knowledge that their careers are not in jeopardy. Then again, the biggies tainted the reality. They disguised the truth. Come mid of the month another wave hit the city. Theses outbreaks come monthly.

Now I ask myself, why do they have to lie? Why do they have to cover up the reality? Why do they have to put up the spirits of the people and eventually crush it? Do they do this to make believe that everything is going to be better since that is the only thing that they can do?

I do not know what to believe anymore. My respect, or what has been left of it, is quickly disappearing. In addition, I am in doubt if I would still desire to work for these biggies.

People tend to say things in order to avoid panic. Then again, the truth cannot be contained for a long time. Eventually the truth will come out. Once the hidden truth is revealed, expect people violently react and maybe chaos will emerge.

On Uncertainties

As the famous saying goes --- Nothing is certain. Having that in mind, I should make every single moment count. Another “wave” hit the city once again. Was it expected? On the other hand, was it unexpected? I honestly do not know what to think about the situation anymore. Another thing, I think it would be useless to think about the uncertainties. It would just bring stress and anxiety.

If my time is up, then bring it on. Carpe diem.
