On Schedule
Hindi sa may sarili akong schedule, wrong timing lang. Mali ba na unahin ang pamilya? For crying out loud, kasal yun ng kapatid ko! Ano gusto yo, unahin ko ang career bago ang pamilya? ASA!

On Flexi Time
Hindi sa maarte ako na hindi maka-adjust sa biglaan na OT o 24 hour shift, ang hinihingi ko lang e i-inform ako nang maayos. Lahat aware sa palit ng shift at ito ako nag-iisa sa dilim. Ano gusto yo, o-OO lang ako pagkakuha ng email ng Friday late afternoon para pumasok ng weekend?

On Own Time
Hindi sa may sarili akong oras, pero mag aantay lang ba ako habang panahon? Kung open lang sa mga plano-plano e di sana ako gumawa ng sariling mga plano. Ano papalampasin ko lang ba ang mga araw sa kakaantay?

On Choosy
Hindi sa choosy ako, pero kung magagawan ng paraan bakit naman hindi. Tatahimik lang ba ako kahit na hindi ako masaya sa kalagayan ko? Mali ba na i-voice out ang aking mga pangarap?

On Palakasan
Hindi ako friendly, pero kailangan ko bang sumipsip para mapansin? Ms. Career Climber, takot ka ba at baka matalbog ka? Isa pa, pasensya nalang ako at hindi ako ang gf ng linalandi mo, bakla!

On Stoked

Unknown sensations
Trickle in as I close in
This is it, pancit!

Hear the waves roaring
See the white water crashing
Excitement kicks in

Blood pumps through my veins
Adrenaline rush
This is the moment!

After many falls
Nth volume of water drank
That cannot stop me

After each wipeout
I pick myself up each time
To attempt again

Thanks, fighting spirit!
I finally got to ride!
This is what stoked is.

On Temptation

Everyone becomes serious when the cupid’s arrow hits them. However, not everyone is strong enough to avoid temptation. We have eyes to see and hands to touch the beauty around us. Is it bad to appreciate the Ultimate’s creation? I don’t think so; it is how we handle the situation that matters.

Now the question is how should we handle temptation if it is lurking around? We should be mature and responsible enough not to entertain these enticement. These temptations are mere moments of happiness. It is better to be incomplete than suffer eternal suffering. So we should cut it off before it is too late. When all is done, I bet it will be worth it.

Pagod

Do I need to give more effort?
Do I need to alot more commitment?
Do I need to sacrifice more?
Do I need to work my butt extra hard?
Do I need to be more responsible?

Ewan ko. Pagod na ako.

On Alcohol

Alcohol is perceived as something that can help out in difficult situations. It is the cure to relieve stress and anxiety. It is a source of courage and confidence. After a bottle/glass or two… three… four and so on, you tend to change your behavior. You have this feeling of well-being wherein you become talkative and relaxed. It is the time and opportunity in which you are able to blurt out whatever it is inside your head and heart for the world to hear.

On the negative side, due to alcohol speech may be slurred, coordination is impaired, visual attention is impaired, etc. These actions may be a cause of arguments. You tend to utter things not meant to be divulged. You tend to display actions not usually done. You tend to see unreal things.

So for the “alcoholics” out there, handle your alcohol properly. Yes, maybe all you need is alcohol to gain courage. However, always remember: alcohol should go straight to the belly and not take any kind of turns to the mind, heart or wherever.
