I Have Game. Do You?

I'd like to post here that Paolo Coelho did not write the original piece but only adapted it. I came across this essay, as you may call it, in my email. I read through it once and knew that it was perfect. For me. I'm closing a cycle in my life. And I'm opening up a whole new chapter. A clean slate. Tabula Rasa. I've come to realize long before that I have a life. And it is good. Read on. ********** One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters - whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents' house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. ...

C'mon. I know you want to. Hell. Yes. I'm home on this Saturday night. I have a fever, now nearing 39. I am a little groggy... well, uhm... a tad bit more groggy than I want to be. And I'm missing someone so bad. Argh. *praying that he does not see this...* So here I am. Blogging away. Dammit. I need a drink. Oh, yeah. c'mon, click on the freaking link. How To Dance Properly

Honesty is something I owe myself. Honesty implies a refusal to lie, steal, or deceive in any way. Honesty is always a factor in any relationship I enter into. May it be friendship or something more deeper than that. I cannot tolerate people who shove lies at my face. No, I am not throwing stones at a glass house so to speak. I understand and I accept that I am not perfect, but I try to be honest when asked a question, when asked for an opinion on a certain issue. If I cannot utter the truth, I say so, then I state my reason. I've learned not to cover up lies with lies . It backfires. And believe me, it's gonna hurt when it hits you. Big time. Being honest does not mean that you have to tell me everything. What I don't know will not hurt me, that's true. BUT , if I ask you to answer a question, I expect you to tell me the truth. You may sugar-coat it, you may sweet-talk your way through it, but, geez, please PLEASE tell me the truth. If you cannot tell me the tr...

How can I be so goddamn freaking stupid? I believed everything that was said to me. That was presented to me. And I fell for the whole shebang. Ano ako? Pam-practice for the real thing? Ayoko ng masaktan. Ayoko ng mahulog. Sawang-sawa na ko bumangon. Tangina. Ilang beses ba kong kailangan masaktan para matapos natong kahirapan na to? Oo, naga-assume nako na meron pa rin siyang ibang mahal kasi gusto ko, pag-nalaman ko, handa ako. Oo, masama ang loob ko kasi hindi ko alam kung saan ako lulugar. Hindi ko alam ang gusto niya sa akin. Oo, umiiyak ako ngayon kasi nasasaktan ako, kasi sinungaling ka, tangina ka! Sana maging bato na lang ang puso ko. Sana. Pero mukhang malapit na. Nararamdaman ko na ang paghigpit, ang pagtigas. Simple lang naman ang gusto ko sa buhay eh. Mababaw lang ang kaligayahan ko. Pagbigyan Mo naman ako.

This was a really bad day. Sobrang frustrating. I had to see 2 friends cry because they were withdrawn from being QA's and then placing them back as agents. Imagine, being in a room full of your colleagues, and then your boss announces that some of you will have to go back on the floor to take calls. Pure tension and anxiety. He produces a piece of paper, and then says kung sino yung mga tatawagin niya pwede ng bumalik sa work nila and then the rest na maiiwan sa conference room, sila yung matatanggal. My name was the 3rd to be called. And when I heard it, hindi pako nakatayo agad. I had mixed emotions of relief and apprehension. Relief that I was being retained at my current position; apprehension because I wanted my whole team to be with me when I left the room. I was sort of spaced-out (again) while waiting for my teammates to come out of the room. I went to the elevators to wait. When I saw Krissy crying, I knew already. Gracey and Karen's name were not called. I had to ...

These pics were taken during the Stoplight party in Eastwood a couple of Saturdays ago, err, I think January 29. Say and Matt are 2 of the hosts of the show which is being shown in Channel 23, 3:30pm every Sundays [*ahem* *ahem* plugging...plugging]. I know, hindi kami mahilig sa pictures. Haha! Mga sabik talaga. We were also, hmm, sort of interviewed for the show but I wasn't able to watch last Sunday because Mayette and I were in La Union for our surfing bonding weekend. Yikes, must've looked awful. Hehehehe. Oh, which reminds me, I'll be posting pics of that La Union weekend soon, just have to upload pics from my cam. Anyway, I missed dancing with the pep girls. Graduate na kasi kami lahat so the only time we get to dance together is when we go to Dusk or any club. And the girls are great dancers so you can just imagine the chaos we bring to the dancefloor when we converge. I don't really go out to drink, contrary to what people think (I've been moderately dri...
