Uncertainties
Nothing unsettles us more than uncertainties. The uncertainty of the future, of what is to become of our dreams, of what lies ahead. I admit: I am unsettled. For the first time in a long, long time, I’m suddenly faced with so many uncertanties and it’s very crippling. Do I leave my work? Will I [...]
You are beside the point
When I was finally able to let out some steam, when I did what Meryll said, to be “easy on him”, and after finally being able to clear the air with Pmac, I feel I can finally give this whole thing a rest with one last blog. I had many titles in mind, bordering subliminal [...]
Relearning “No”
“No” is a word I often have a hard time accepting. Being brought up by a mom who multi-tasks, who is independent, secure, always in control, “No” was hardly in our vocabulary. When I was young, I never experienced not being allowed by my mom to go for the things I wanted. There were no [...]
Erring cab drivers, listen up!
These are hard times for all of us. Whether we commute or we drive our own cars, these are hard times, financially. Gas prices are up. Fare toll increases. And we’re hoping things will lighten up a bit, at least for our pockets. When LTRFB decided to allow cab drivers to increase their usual fare [...]
Writing is hard
They say it’s a discipline, hence, you can always do it if you’re disciplined about it. But I’d like to debunk that. Writing may be a discipline, but it’s also an art. And art is not forced. Art is free expression. And right now, it feels like I’m forcing myself to freely express, and I’m [...]
Hakot Queen
I’m not physically weak, I mean, I can be physical if the situation calls for it. I can lift myself up, because at 94.6 lbs or 43 kg. that’s pretty easy to do. I’m pretty athletic, too. But seriously, to have me and my office mate Dapor carry those books down (500 or so boxes [...]
Disclaimers
I don’t like being misunderstood (for anything that I ever do), that’s why I always articulate my thoughts and express myself, and at the same time also encourage people to do that. The goal after all is not to please people but to be understood. As a general rule, I always try to make my [...]
Globe Customer Care? You must be kidding me.
Disclaimer: Here’s the rant of the century for me. So this is how frustrating our internet connection has been at home. We lost connection after Ondoy hit. Apparently, the facility (whatever that is and wherever that is located) is still being repaired, and yet it’s been 17 days since Ondoy. Most people I know already [...]
Keeping the “I Do’s”
I really wish people had the decency to fulfill promises every time they make them. And I really wish they don’t have to be reminded about it from time to time because that shows how little effort they put into honoring their word. Otherwise, they should never have promised anything at all. I would rather [...]
