If you do not know me, I bet your first impression of me is that I am mataray. Due to that, I do not have many real friends. I usually do not fit in so I guess that urged me to be a jokester which is in direct contrast to my taray expression. Laughter breaks the ice. Laughter makes it easier to get in with a group.
I like to portray that I do not take anything seriously that I cannot laugh about afterward. I have this thinking, “ang pikon ay talo”. If I could joke and laugh about anything and everything, I will fit somewhere eventually. Once I am accepted that is when I will have the chance to show my alter ego after they have eased up and laughed at me.
Laughter is truly amazing. Its keeps you younger and it brings down walls a bit to let the real person come out. As they say, Laughter is the best medicine. :)

On Wishing
People never seem to be contented with what they have. People always want something they do not currently have. People strive to improve themselves to be better individuals. I assume each individual would love to rub a magical lamp and gain three wishes.
Personally I yearn to travel. In almost 4 years of slavery, I never had the chance to work outside of the country. I have been assigned onsite, but just around the corner. Whenever an onshore opportunity comes around, my ears rings. At least it would be hitting two birds with one stone --- work and "play".
I just had interview for onshore work. The specifics are not laid out yet, but it would be a long term assignment. Now I am confused, is this really what I want? Is it worth it to change policies? In the long run, would I benefit?
Tsk tsk.. I should be careful for what I wish for cause it just might be a reality.

On Contentment
Time off is appreciated. There are no deadlines to beat. There is no urgency to come in early. I can relax and do “what” I desire for eight or so hours and still get paid!
Facebook is wonderful filler. Status updates, photos, videos, games, quizzes and the list goes on. I wonder how one can get bored. Then again, it is tiresome to add “s” to “http”. What a waste of time!
I move on those various instant messengers. However, I am not a friendly person. Thus, I do not have a huge selection of people whom I can engage with decent conversations. Then again, most often, many have a lot on their plates. So why bother to chitchat.
Of course, the most obvious thing to do is to explore the World Wide Web. There are tons of things to discover --- trivia, news, events --- random stuff with sense or whatnot. Then again, eyes eventually get sore. Back begins to get sore.
Okay, I can relax and do what I want in exchange for some sort of sense of fulfillment at the end of the day. Boredom can kill. Honestly. I am going nuts!
When will I ever be contented?

On Cutting
When the Cat is out the Mouse will come out to play.
The Cats were out so the mice maximized and took advantage of the situation. We jumped inside a cab like sardines and off we went to Rockwell to get some grub. It did not take us long. It was just like a trip to a world full of choices. Finally our Pepper Lunch yearning was answered!
Question: how long can we keep mum about this?

On Lessons Learned the Hard Way
“God ALWAYS forgives. People SOMETIMES forgive. Nature NEVER forgive”
Ondoy hit the Metropolis badly. Almost 80% was underwater. Hello Waterworld! But thank you because without you I will not be more thankful and blessed.
Proper Urban Planning
Real Estate builders or homebuilders should wisely consider where they would develop a community. Extensive research, meaning long term, must be done! Water level history, earthquake account, location, drainage systems and the like must be considered. One must disregard whatever development if research says the area is prone to danger.
Cutting Tress
Trees are our friends. They serve as shade during sunny or rainy days. They give us nutrition. They give us a place to live. They save us from landslides. So why uproot them?
No Useless Littering
Responsible throwing of trash can go a long way. It can improve the drainage system; prevent icky floating stuff during floods; avoid awful stench; especially help save Mother Nature. As they say, Basura mo, Itapon mo.
:)
Pinoys somewhat find a way to take pleasure in the current circumstance -- even if houses are submerged in water or every material possession was lost. Pinoys still have the energy to smile and wave for the camera. Kids even enjoy the new pool and jump from a lamppost! Yabang Pinoy!
Bayanihan
Its amazing how people from different lifestyles come as one for one goal. Volunteers of different ages. Donations from everywhere! It is SO overwhelming! I just hope that evil people will not take advantage.
“Often it takes some calamity to make us live in the present. Then suddenly we wake up and see all the mistakes we have made.”
