A Glass

This is probably how it feels when you cut your throat with a knife.

I set down the glass and looked around me. My sight would linger on some object or person, but it would take a while before I distinguish which of the two am I looking at.

My head felt so heavy, it must be full of water or whatever I was drinking. My eyelids were heavier, but I knew my eyes were open. I couldn't remember how long I have been sitting and drinking that one glass, but I felt that I should get back to my friends.

I started getting out of my seat to look for them, but I closed my eyes and thought of what direction I must head to. The room was full of people by now.

I got up, and the last thing I remember was falling down.

Haaay.

I feel so down again..

Here I am again, wishing that I've done everything right..

I feel that, though I have someone, I'm alone.

I'm the only one who can set this right.

Others have problems, too.

I've given so many people so many problems already. I don't need to add more to the list, right?

But I also want to help them..

But I feel like I also need some help, but I don't know in what form..

Which makes me really happy and blessed, because I have Jorge. And I don't have to hesitate talking to him and telling him how I feel. I mean, of course I should still hesitate because he has other things in mind, but at least he's there to listen and comfort me, and that's more than enough. And it reminds me that God will not abandon me.

I want..

..to be with you whenever I can. It's kind of stupid and really shallow but I just really do.

I want to gain back those times that I could have been the one who held your hand and your arms and heard those words.

It's childish, I know, but sometimes I feel that I lied to myself when I was fine and happy nd not because of you or anything related to you.

However, those times I cannot claim that I was unhappy. I know you would not claim that too. We were happy not because of each other, and I don't regret that. And we were happy for each other, too. And I felt that I could live with that. We really were being the best of friends. I could tell you anything again.

I..
I wish I could always make you smile and laugh, too..
I wish.. I hope.. This time..

It all came back when we talked about the future
We were at the station then but that didn't really matter.

We talked about things like we always do
Some about me and some about you

My heart beat so fast when you talked about the future
How we should be stable then at that age I can't remember.

Eight-and-twenty, or was it thirty?
What you said back then.

It was so amazing even when I felt I was going crazy...
Did I hear you right when- when you said that word, "we"?




K. Biglang sumulpot yung words pinagtagpi tagpi ko na lang kaya wala syang sense hahaha wala namang makakabasa so kebs. Hi future Mike. You were about to sleep when you typed this.

Sa ganitong panahon yang mga kaisipang yan ang bumubulabog sa aking isip. Pwede bang matulog na lang?

Baka di ka na kailangan? Kaya ganun.

Baka nagsasawa na ulit, kaya ganoon.

Unititled II

Ewan. Hay.

OO nga abnormal nga ako. Hahaha di ko na alam. Kung ano pang paniniwalaan ko.

The Anti-Social Me

I can't shake off the feeling that everyone I know can take me for granted with just a snap of their hand. Fingers.

Para bang any moment kaya nilang sabihing "o sige, umalis ka na sa harap ko at huwag ka nang magpakita."

"Wag na lang tayong magkita kahit kailan."

"You're my friend, pero not really on my list of 'best friends I have'."

I feel like a nobody sometimes. Parang yung lagi mo lang nakakasalubong pag naglalakad ka sa underpass sa Makati Business Area nang ganoong oras. Hanggang ngitian lang, o kaya saglit na tinginan. Parang tama lang ma-recognize nyo isa't isa.

And so I get tired of talking to people. Finding out how they value me. Sometimes I won't talk to them, probably. What's there to lose on their side, anyway?

Sa akin din wala dapat, tutal wala naman sa kanilang mawawala. Yung tipong, yeah, magkakilala kami, lagi kami nag-uusap, pero kung papipiliin sya may iba syang gustong kausapin.

O kaya naman, may bago siyang nakilala so yun muna gusto nya kausapin.

E ako, di nga ko mahilig makipag-ganun. Di ako mahiyain. Nakakatamad lang talaga. O kaya nakakapagod. Kasi after some time hindi naman kami magiging close nun. Tsss.

And so I really miss high school. Parang ang saya ko nun e.

Pero siguro nga, ang buhay ko parang paglalakad sa isang underpass ng Makati. Maraming tao. Yung iba lagi ko nakakasabay o nakakasalubong. Pero walang hihinto nang matagal para kausapin ako. O magtitiyagang sabayan ako kasi mabagal na ko maglakad dahil mabilis na rin ako mapagod at sumakit ang tuhod.

Wala lang. Nagiging mystery na talaga sa akin ang mga tao e. Minsan akala mo alam mo na kung paano sila, pero kahit alam mo na hindi mo pa rin ginagamit yung kaalaman na yun. Tapos ikaw pa yung mapapahamak dahil sa ginawa mo.

Ewan. I just want to curl myself into a ball and sleep until sleep can't take me anymore.

Twenty years, and I really don't like having to socialize anymore. O baka phase lang 'to ng buhay? Daming arte?

Conversations V

Moments like these make me go facepalm.

Sa kilig. HAHAHA

Wala akong pakialam kung di ko natatapatan yung mga banat nyang ganyan. Hindi naman dun nasusukat ang pagiging masaya namin.

:">

Pet names

Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero makita lang kita, ayos na ayos na ayos na ayos na~

Charot. =))


Ang alam ko napag-usapan namin at nagkasundo kami tungkol sa pagkakaroon ng pet names. Hindi kami hayop para magkaroon ng pet names. Palayaw, pwede pa, pero pet names tulad ng "honey" "baby" "beh" please lang.

Pero yung "Mahal ko" hindi pet name yun. :) And thank God nung nakita ko kung anong name ko sa phone nya back then, hindi "mahal koh" or whatever.

Kaya mahal ko yan e. Daming pinagkakasunduang hindi namin pinagusapang pagkasunduan. Kahit lagi kami nag-aaway... Well, makita kong matawa sya masaya na ko. So idaan na lang sa barahan ang pag-aaway, ganyan. O kaya kilitiin sya. Bibigay din yan. =))



Shemay ano ba tong pinagsasabi ko. Sorry. I don't mean to be cheesy or overly-affectionate-through-blog-posts. Inaantok lang ako.



Grabe forever siyang bida sa blog ko kalerkey~

Coversations IV

'Bukas. Magkikita tayo bukas.'

"Si Ge (as in pangalan na Ge)..."

'Sino si Ge?'

"Sabi ko 'Sige,' anong sino si Ge?!"




*facepalm*




Ano bang nangyayari sa akin.

Not sure if mishearing a lot lately, or ability to understand has become blunt.

Flashback

Minsan naming napag-usapan ni Horhe na magsabay umuwi hanggang Alabang. Mula high school, ako talaga yung sumasabay sa kanya hanggang Alabang. Nung una kasi (third year high school namin napagtanto na pwede kami magsabay until some certain point pauwi) ako lang yung sigurado sa gagawin ko, bilang minsan na akong... Ibang kwento na yan e. Anyway, para makatipid naglakad kami pa-Central.

Habang naglalakad sa tamang tawiran, biglang kumanta.


"Nanka shiawase, na na na... Di ko alam lyrics e. Ano ba lyrics non?"

Kanta naman ako, pero di ko rin naalala lahat.





"Naalala mo nung sinabihan mo ko nung first year na nanghuhula ng lyrics? Sa LL."

'First year? High school? Malamang wala namang Lover's Lane sa UP (na alam namin)...'

"Oo."

'Hindi. Bakit ang dami mong naaalalang ganyan?!'

"Ganun talaga pag in love."






*facepalm*

One thing I admire about him right now is that he can choose not to heed what other people say.

I could be like that, too.

"abnormal talaga ako. :))"

'mahal pa rin kita. :))'

"abnormal ka rin. :))"



Bidang-bida yung ":))" na smiley e no? XD

Text messages 1

Nakita ko sa TV yung trailer ng isang novel na nabasa ko last last week. So nagtext ako sa bespren ko kasi nakwento ko sa kanya na magkaka-movie nga tong novel na to. As usual, wala syang paki. As usual, wala akong paki kung wala syang paki. Kaya tinext ko sya. XD

Ako: Game of thrones!

after a while... Narealize kong may mali.

Ako: I mean hunger games!

Horhe: Imba confusion a. XD


Hay I'm bored :))

The fence.

I'm on both sides of the fence.

On one side, I will not allow myself to think about you, speak about you, know about you.

On the other, I'll keep doing things that will push you to the edge. Your hollering will be my happiness. :)


If ever, I won't go far from the fence so I get to sit on it every now and then. Hahaha

If-

If I stop thinking about how you are feeling, or in the least, what they are, and consider mine-

If I see things in a different perspective, and think of you as a victor in what you've been through right now-

If I start to think of myself just a little bit-

If I actually flaunt what the other party might be feeling as well-

If I ask everyone to be honest-

If I allow myself to breathe and to invite peace-

All these thoughts. Would I allow one, two, half, all of them to happen or do something to make them happen...

Would I seem very selfish? But can't I be? I'm human after all.

Would I be branded stupid? Well, I've been branded a martyr. Just goes to show people's judgement are fickle as well.

Because I'm tired. I tire of feeling guilty and then seeing something that makes me want to take away that guilt because I feel like I don't have to feel it.

Sometimes I wanna tell you - ask you - if you could let the other be happy as well.


Why is it that when one is the one who was hurt, people assume that the one who hurt doesn't hurt or feel bad at all?

Chances aren't all yours to take. Them are yours to take.

Nalulungkot ako.
Hay.

Bakit pag Saturday morning, parating pagod na pagod pakiramdam ko? Late na ko. At nakuha ko pang mag-post.


Mm-hmm... Haaay...

Mga Aral Daw (MAD)

 Matagal na rin akong walang ka-relasyon (boyfriend, ganyan). At nang magkaroon ako, ang bata ko pa noon. Isang mapagpanggap na nilalang, iniisip kong "mature" ako sa lahat ng desisyong ginawa ko noong kami pa. Matapos ang tatlong taon mula nang maghiwalay kami, masasabi kong ngayon ko pa lang nakikita ang (ilan sa) mga aral na mapupulot ko sa relasyong iyon.

Una sa lahat, hindi masamang magkamali sa isang relasyon, lalo na kung pareho kayong wala pang karanasan sa mga ganoong bagay. Kahit pa sabihin nyong "marami akong kaibigan na may relasyon na, dapat matuto ako sa mga pagkakamali nila," hindi mo dapat alisin ang pagkakamali na maaring magawa ninyo. Siguro kahit gaano pa kayo katanda, naman... Magkakamali't magkakamali kayo.


Masarap yung masabihan kang "Gusto kitang makasama araw-araw, oras-oras, minu-minuto," pero nakakasawa yun. Matagal din bago ko inamin sa sarili kong nagsawa rin ako sa amin dahil nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na gusto nya lagi kami magkasama, tapos ako rin. Syempre, strong girl ang peg ko nung naghiwalay kami. Na hindi ako titigil magmahal sa kanya kahit magkaroon sya ng iba. Na hihintayin ko sya. Mga kabaliwan.

Nahinuha ko ngayon na pangit yung ganoong pagmamahal. Kailangan nyo ng oras para sa mga sarili nyo. Oo, masaya yung may inspirasyon ka, na pag parang naubusan ka na ng dahilang ipagpatuloy ang adhikain mo, matitira siya at maiisip mong "para sa kanya - para sa amin - din to." Pero yung magtatampo ka dahil lang hindi kayo nagkita kanina, o nang isang linggo na - hindi maganda yun. Ewan ko, sa mga umuusbong pa lang na relasyon, parating ganon.

Pero mas masaya kung ang pundasyon ng pagmamahal mo, yung makita syang masaya at nasa mabuting lagay. Hindi yung nakasalalay sa kung gaano mo siya kadalas makita, gaano kadalas mong mahawakan ang mga kamay nya, gaano kadalas dumampi ang mga labi nya sa iyo. Kung gaano kadalas kayong magpalitan ng mga salitang "mahal kita" at kung ano pa. Kasi sa pamamagitan noon mo mapapatunayan sa kanya na wagas yung pagmamahal mo. Yung kahit masakit na yung mga ginagawa nya, sinasadya man o hindi, kaya mong balewalain yung lahat sa isang iglap lang. Pagpapakamartir ba yun? Hindi, pagpapakapraktikal yun at pagpapakatotoo. Hindi talaga mangyayari na parati kayong magkasama at naglalaplapan. Napakababaw rin na pagmamahal noon. At, nakakasawa rin yon.

Mahirap yan gawin, pero hindi masamang subukan. Saka ano naman kung ano pang sabihin ng iba? Kahit yung mga pinakamalapit mong kaibigan pwede mong balewalain kasi may sarili kang pagiisip. At saka yun ang pagkakataon nyong dalawa para patunayan sa kanila na seryoso kayo sa isa't isa. Minsan ganoon mababalik yung respeto ng ibang tao e. Pag na-overcome mo yung mga expectations nila (na negative) sa inyo.

At pag magkahiwalay kayo (hindi kayo magkasama), huwag mong isipin kung kailan lang kayo ulit na magkikita, kundi kung paano mo sya gugulatin para mapanatili yung pagmamahal nyang natatakot kang mawala.

At higit sa lahat, importante ang tiwala. Nahinuha ko rin na hindi ako nagtiwala sa kanya noon. (Well hindi naman talaga sya katiwa-tiwala noon HAHAHA peace bro!) Siguro kung nagtiwala lang ako kahit pa pinagloloko na nya ko... Hindi, talagang ginusto rin ng Diyos na mangyari yun sa amin.

Sa ngayon, hinihintay ko pa ba sya? Sa totoo lang, hindi.

Yung totoo?

Hindi.

At wala akong pakialam.


Ako yung taong naniniwala na kung kami, kami talaga. Kung hindi, bakit ko pa pahihirapan ang sarili ko?


At saka hindi bagay yang mga tanong na yan sa mga nangyayari ngayon sa buhay nya/nila. Showbiz buhay non, baka madamay ako. Matagal na tong draft na to pero dahil sa blog post ni Karen ay naisip kong i-post. Hehehe.

Sana - Up Dharma Down

I really don't know if I could trust the lyrics I find in the internet. But anyway...



Nilibot na ang buong mundo
Di pa rin ako nakukuntento
Makakahanap ng ipapalit
Nang walang babala
Lumipas ay nagbabalik pala

Nalilito na ako, hindi na dapat gan'to;
Nakaraan ay natapos at napagdaanan na.
Bakit nasisindak pa sa t'wing naaalala -
Matatauhan na wala ka na pala

Ako, sila'y nandito na,
Ikaw na lang ang kulang.
Anong lunod o lalim? Ba't 'di na lang lumutang?
Anong pait ang matamis? At aking susubukan.
Anong silbi ng narito?
'Di mo na kailangan.

Hindi nga nagtagal ang pagpapanggap na 'to
Kaliwa at kanan harap at likod ano mang anggulo
Titigan ay bumibigay ako

Damdamin ay kay bigat
Naisip na ang lahat
Wala na ba talaga akong magagawa pa

Ako, sila'y nandito na,
Ikaw na lang ang kulang.
Anong lunod o lalim? Ba't 'di na lang lumutang?
Anong pait ang matamis? At aking susubukan.
Anong silbi ng narito?
'Di mo na kailangan.

Wala na bang makakapantay at di na ba dapat pang maghintay
Ako lang ba ang nagkasala?
Kumakapit sa natitirang sana.

Kung babalik ka pa hanggang kailan kaya?
Ako dito mag aabang na magdutong na ang patlang
Ang kulang ay mapupunan wala nang makahahadlang
Wala na yatang hihigit sa pangungulila ko
Iba na bang nagbibigay ng mga kailangan mo?

O sana
Kay higpit ng kapit sa unan kagabi ko
O sana
Inaasam muling makatabi at mahalik, sana.

Yay, an update!

Sometimes I just feel a little bit -- really worthless. I just feel that as the "best friend" I should be able to help him with his pain. But moral support, which is the least I could give, doesn't work at all.






I just want you to know that I believe you can do it. So I wish you won't give up. Because... Not because you suddenly realized what you really want, and that it's not what you currently have or where you currently are, means that you could just turn back -- or left or right -- to get there. This is an instance where you have to see it through...


But in the end, it's still your choice. I'm just hoping that you choose to see it through. You're near the end of this stupid hardship stage that seems like a gate to a circle of hell, so why not get it over with? Basta ako, naniniwala akong kaya mo yan.


Ayun lang. Naks, tagal kong di nagdedicate ng post for you! HAHAHA


Just a little disclaimer: I'm saying/blogging this because I consider myself his best friend. Please don't always connect things with the past that we had, and shared. It's getting annoying.




Me?


I resigned from the call center industry. Literally, figuratively. My mindset was not that set, I suppose. So I'm basically relying on my part-time job, which I really prefer to that job.


Of course it's sad! I keep praying that I get accepted in Factset! :)




God bless us all! Spread the love!

Here we go again

Again I'm afraid that I might not be doing the right things in life.

Tsk.

This must be my greatest fear, then. Being a failure. Being happy one day, and being miserable the next. No one wants to be miserable but the way I'm acting...

First Work Experience

I've been quite depressed lately. The main reason I feel so down is because I quit my job because I really felt that I would have a new job by now, but then... No. It just doesn't happen that way. Again, my divination failed me.

Last Monday (not this past Monday), while supping, I felt that I really really don't feel like going to work at all. I don't want to answer a call, even if I believe I could resolve most of the requests of the callers. I don't like the work and I could just go ahead and find a new one. Of course, my problem is my status as a student or as a graduate, but I just thought that there would be companies who would understand, and even if I could not get to "graduate" (PLEASE LORD, DON'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN) if I just prove to them that I am an asset then they could forget about it. But I don't want to go to work.

So as I was eating, I blurted out, "Ma, ayaw kong pumasok."

She just said, "O sige." She already had an idea about my growing dissatisfaction with my work.

Another thing about the work is that it's so routinized that I really feel like a robot, even if I tell myself that I am not and that I shouldn't be. The last day I worked, my voice was so soft and so monotonous as compared to my first day it really got me depressed. I don't want to go and work just because I had to work. I know that even if I did not study it in UP. A company could do better than to have a workforce that are like robots, and live only during their breaks and lunch times.

And this got me thinking about several things.

First off, my mother has been working in the industry for seven years. In fact, for just one company. Five or six years spent as an agent, answering calls and requests and trying to resolve issues of people. And now I know that the sacrifices were bigger than what people thought. I felt pity and shame, and I was really resolved to find a job, get a high salary, and save my mom from this cruel industry.

Another is of course, the business process outsourcing industry, specifically the call centers as they are called. I remember this was supposed to be the industry for our BA 129 paper. Sayang, ang hirap kasing kumuha ng data, maraming hindi publicly listed at hindi magiging reliable ang data kung hindi namin ma-t-track lahat ng companies.

The industry, as I said, is cruel – in some fashion. The way I see it, it's basically composed of voice services – those that involve voice, having to talk to the consumers themselves; and non-voice – working without having to talk to people and be stressed over their snide comments about you. Both has its good and oh-dear-save-me-from-this-industry characteristics. And, based on what I observed, most of the companies that do off-shoring are those from the United States or Europe – those with a very high market share which means larger concerns and/or complains about their product/service.

Non-voice, since I don't really have an idea about it (I was in the industry for just a month and a half, you know, so all this is just based on what I gathered in those months, plus what stories my mom would spare), I just see it as kind of a backstage type of industry. You don't have to talk to customers, so what it might be doing is try to check on accounts, update the system especially those that have many information and the cleaning process is not a priority of the system so that people had to do it manually... Something like that. So, in some ways and mostly better, it's more preferable than the voice functions. However, I think the work is also routinized that you'd soon get bored with it. Also, since it does not really require as much multitasking as a voice agent has to do, I guess it has a lower salary range than voice (when in the same company).

Voice agents, hands up to them, guys. They have to answer (if it's inbound type) or call (if it's outbound type) and have to talk to customers. If you think it's an easy job, PLEASE... No jobs are easy once you get to do it. Anyway, the reason it's so stressing is that you have to talk to people. That means communication, and it has to be effective. You have to deliver a message, and especially if it's outbound, you have to get a message in return (Communications people would explain this better than I do, just try to follow it). Once the other party does not understand the other, then it's really hard to achieve the goal. It's like you're not speaking the same language at all. And that's what makes it hard, especially if the customers you are talking to are half a world a way in terms of geography and culture.

On what I experienced, I've learned that Americans are quite hard to talk to (even if we were advised that most of the people we would be talking to are part of the richer parts of the society since the product and its service is quite expensive). Of course I am speaking because I have a different culture, so please forgive me for that, but I would also like to say that I'm not that naive and there are parts of our culture that I don't really understand or like as well. Anyway, most of them don't bother to try to find things out for themselves. I understand that, however, it is because they are really busy kinds of people and time is like always running away from them. But still, I think it reflects a lot on both cultures – mine and theirs. We Filipinos, even if we might be time-conscious (I wish to claim to be one, but I still am tardy half of the time), really regard time as kind of something that is always there, and we hate to hurry (and I hope we have our own good reasons for it, like, we wouldn't enjoy life as it is if we hurry so much, stuff like that); Americans, on the other hand, want to do as much as they could from the time given them.

But of course, I really haven't worked that long to be able to have a greater idea about Americans, so please don't use this as some kind of “Oh, Americans are like that and like this blah blah” because I've only talked to Americans for three weeks. And I might just be grumbling because I hated that kind of work. But I really did hate it when the customers started blaming me for the system. I mean, I could put notes that they complained about the system, but why complain on ME, or complain OF ME? I don't have more idea on the system of receiving and rerouting their calls than they have...

By Friday night, I went to hand in my resignation letter. I didn't feel heavy at all, and I know that, maybe this might be the right thing.

I'm doubting that since the interview I was counting on, and the job offer I was counting on hopefully, was postponed until February. Well, I believe God has a reason, and whatever that reason may be, I won't give up on it.

UPCAT moment.

Dahil nakapasa ang kapatid ko at naiyak ako pagkabasa ko kanina, magshshare ako. Hindi ako nagshshare (ata?) nung past few years pag nilalabas na yung results kasi wala naman akong kakilalang dapat hanapin dun sa results, or wala akong paki. Basta. Feeling ko lang pag nakita ko na pangalan nung kapatid kong sumunod sa akin, dun ako magshshare. So ito.


5 years ago and about a month more, Periodic examinations for fourth year students. Maaga kasi magppractice na ng graduation, mas mahalaga yun... Anyway, bago mag-exam, may nareceive akong message. Sabi, "Congratulations! Naks, BAA! Triple quota!" At BOOM! Dun ko nalamang triple quota pala yung BAA. HAHAHA

Nung nalaman nilang alam ko na, marami nang kinabahan. Yung iba tinext din yata ng mga magulang. Ewan ko, basta alam ko nakapasa ako. Though actually nag-d-doubt pa ako nun sa nagbalita sa akin, baka mamaya niloloko lang ako... Medyo luko-loko rin kasi yun e. Hahaha!

Yung iba, kinakabahan... Feeling kasi nila hindi naman nila ginalingan nung UPCAT. Yung iba, syempre nag-eexpect talagang mapasa nila kahit anong tipong quota pa yung first choice nila. Syempre, first choice nila yun e. Alangan namang ang hilingin nilang mapasa nila eh yung second choice di ba? At sa totoo lang, malay din ba naming may mga strategy strategy yun - na mas okay kung sa second choice maglagay ka nung "madali" (NOTE: Walang madali sa UP, okay? Relative lang sa quota type, sa scores na pinipili nila, etc. kaya nasasabing madaling pasukan.) para kung mag-fail ka sa first choice mong alam mong mahirap pasukan, eh may fallback plan ka. Naks. Eh walang nag-educate sa amin non.

Ang alam namin, isa ring challenge ang UPCAT. Isang malaking fulfillment pag nakapasa ka doon. Nahirapan man o nadalian ka sa UPCAT, bilang isang MaScian, medyo mataas ng expectations ng mga tao sa paligid mo na ipapasa mo yang hayop na UPCAT na yan. Sa start ng fourth year, priority mo UPCAT. Sa dulo na yung graduation. HAHA!

Pagtapos ng exam namin, puno lahat ng internet shop. Kung tama pagkakaalala ko, sumugod kaming Robinson's at naghanap ng net shop na mabilis (ewan ko kung before yun pumunta ba kami sa ALVA tapos tinry namin tapos ang fail ng connection nila, or so we thought, kaya sabi namin dun na lang sa mamahalin). So dun kami sa mamahaling net shop at gumastos kami ng worth one hour sa net shop sa Pedro Gil para lang makita ang pangalan namin sa web page na napakabagal talaga dahil sa high traffic. Pero worth it naman.

Yung iba, syempre, nalungkot. May mga words kasing di namin alam ibig sabihin, yung mga may asterisk, at yung alam naming hindi sya course kasi ang haba ng nakalagay tapos walang "BA (Bachelor of Arts)" or "BS (Bachelor of Science)" or "B (Bachelor)". [Bachelor IN o Bachelor OF? UGH] Pero yun, yung iba may kulang lang, yung iba pasado sa required score ng UPD pero may kailangan pang isubmit... Yung iba... Hay.

Ang tagal na pala.

Ngayon, alam ko nang hindi nagtatapos sa pagpasa sa UPCAT ang pakikipaglaban mo academic-wise. Karamihan, dumarating sa point na napapaisip kung gusto pa ba nila yung course, o kaya kung matatagalan pa ba nila kasi bumabagsak o kaya nakakawalang gana. Pero ang mahalaga, andiyan ka na e, isang malaking step yan. Kumbaga, it all depends on your Will after this. Kung may napasa ka pang ibang exam tulad ng ACET, etc., anong pipiliin mo? Saka, ikaw ba ang mamimili o magulang mo?

Sa mga tulad ko namang (at ng kapatid ko rin - CONGRATS ULEEEEEEEEET) UPCAT lang ang tinake, aba, choosy ka pa ba e dalawa na lang choice mo - mag-UP o hindi??? XD

Ayun lang naman. Hindi ko natapos yung BAA, hindi ko pa tapos ang BA, pero sabi nga sa Beerkada, I will graduate on time, no matter how long it takes. [UPCAT pa lang graduation na agad sinasabi...]



Hi Jerome, miss na kita. Sana masaya ka kung nasaan ka man. Salamat sa pag-spoil sa akin ha! Haha at yung regalo mo, makukuha ko pa ba yun? Ano ba yan, nalulungkot akong maalala ka. XD

Conversations II

So I was talking again to this friend of mine who said he/she was "sabog."
I got many proofs for that but here's my favorite.

Remember my last post about conversations?


Friend: teka chong kelan klase mo pla

Moi: ay sabog ka nga pala.
Moi:

Emo time~

Chos.

I just wanted to say that I actually miss someone who reminds me how much he loves me every now and then.

Just that.

And of course someone who would hold my hands.
And get angry when I spent more time with the computer than with my bed.
Hahaha

BUT no particular person. That made it weird. XD

Conversations like these.

There are really these kinds of conversations that make me laugh out loud.

Seryosong usapan...

Kaya binawian ko... (naka-bold yung part ko kasi default font style sa YM tapos di ko mabago. stupid tumblr.)

Friend: wala kang school?

Moi: hindi nako nag-aaral e

Friend: ai

Moi: out-of-school youth

Friend: sorry

Moi: magbebenta pa ko ng mga pastillas sa bus

Moi: hinahanda ko lang yung papel na pinamimigay sa pasahero

Moi: hahaha

Moi: oi joke lang.

Moi: may final interview ako mamaya, pagpray mo ko ha.

Friend: muntik nako maniwala

wahaha kaya siguro walang sumeseryoso sakin pag may kausap ako. =))

WHY?

Why do I have to be interviewed by the Operations Manager?

Can't help but think about it. I'm just gonna think what Philip said it could be: a sign. And that it's good to be interviewed many times. It's a good thing.

Has to be, or I'll die of overthinking and nervousness. Jejeje~

Something about Faith

I just remembered, I had this notion of Faith that I want to write or express lately, especially since I'm undergoing another "Processing..." part of my life.

Faith is a very important thing to keep you going in life. Setting aside whatever you believe in, so long as you have faith, your eyes become the keenest it could be. Some would say it's going blind, but for me, it's being keen. Why? Because you are able to find a foundation for explanations that wouldn't suffice those who don't have faith.

Some would say that it would be lying to yourself. I say, no. We are all humans. If you have your own means to arrive at your goal - your dreams - your happiness - whatever you want to call it, let others be. How can you prove that you are or are not lying to yourself, anyway?

So, then, it all boils down to respect.

Faith, respect. I'm thinking about them being entwined to each other, and being applied to every aspect of life.

AS I EXPECTED OF MYSELF-

I'm about to storm you for the next few times I will go online. Nyahaha.

Actually, I bought a diary sometime in September or October.

Actually, it was just an ordinary notebook that I made into my diary.

The point is, I have something to write upon that I don't have to go online and do some clicking algorithms.

The next point is that, I am not using it.

Anyway, I'm feeling funny whenever I do a specific thing right now... *evil super mind-fucking smile* No, please, it's just some part of the stalker in me... *more evil super mind-fucking grin*

All things went well today, as I claimed. And so I claim as well the blessings God has for me tomorrow. If it weren't for God, I wonder where they would find my soul-less body now...

New Year / New Life Post

AND SO...

I was drawn to this creepy page I once called "Blog." I should have called this a diary, similar to that of Tom Riddle's when Ginny got it. Poured her heart out. And nothing good ever came out of it... Not really. Well if not because of that freaking diary, Harry wouldn't have saved her, and he probably wouldn't have really cared about her. So, YES, nothing - NOTHING - good really ever came out of it. Ugh

Anyway, guess what?

I've work!

And I don't like it!

So, you companies out there, before you get stormed by the resumes from all the university job fairs and campus recruitments, I'll be sending a hail (hale? wtf.) of my own resumes over you. Ano bang english ng "ambon?" Takte.

Anyway, hello blog. As I said, for some reason I'd rather not disclose (no, don't think it's because of my stalker skills which I'm quite proud of, not also because someone gave me some DIRE news about this freaking blog of mine... no.), I was drawn to this page.

Probably after 6 months or so I'd come again.

Or come to think about it, I'd probably come back tomorrow. :))
