On Escalation

How'd you escalate
And not appear like a kid
Whinning to her folks?

Patience's a virtue
But also has its limit
This is it. Enough.

Lord, please do guide me
And not let my emotions
get the best of me.

There are no freinds-friends
At work, we are co-workers.
We're professional.

No hard feelings... please.
Just want to get the job done.
Do you understand?

On Small World

GUY WHO I JUST MET: Wala pa tayong 3 hours na magkakilala hinihiritan mo na ako.
*Me thinks, okay, kaya pala ako nakakatakot.*
ME: Ok, I'll keep my mouth shut.
*but parang i met this guy na before, so i asked my friend*
ME:Your friend seems familiar, I think he is the ex of my cousin.
FRIEND: What is the name of your cousin
ME: *insert name of cousin*
FRIEND: Oi, do you know *insert name of cousin*?
GUY: *nanalaki ang mata*
ME: AHA! Apparently I know you more than 3 hours. Now i have the right!

: - o ii

DAD: Oh andito ka na pala.
MOM: Paano ka umuwi?
ME: Hinatid.
MOM: I thought you went out for dinner, maaga pa.
ME: Yup, nag dinner nga.
MOM: Sino kasama mo?
ME: Friend. Sabi mo kasi maghanap na ako ng boyfriend.
MOM & DAD: HAHAHAHA!

After an hour or sooo, I got an SMS.

Friend's message: Let's drink!
I showed the message to my mom.
MOM: Oh just like that you'll go? Ano yan, makikipalasingan ka?
ME: HAHAHAHA! Coffee lang yan.

I was in the car with my family.

Sister: Break na sila *insert name of gay cousin* at nung boyfriend niya.
Me: Masmadami pa atang ex yung kaysa akin e.
Mom: mag boyfriend ka na nga. Wag mo silang takutin.

Okay. Am I scary?

5 Years

Today is a non-working holiday thanks to the Muslims. :) Today also marks my 5th year in HS. Yes, it has been that long. And I thought I would be one of the first to abandon ship once I hit my 2nd year. Now, I am the only original member from my bootcamp. Talk about loyalty.

So what makes me stay here? My pay could be better. People are not how they used to be. Most of my friends have moved on to another challenge. I have not been lucky also in terms of projects. Puro paasa lang. But this is me, always full of hope.

There are really some things that do not turn out how we think it would. I still hope for a better 5th year. I wish things will finally go my way. If not, may I find the courage to leave and take new opportunities.
