Observations

1. It is rude to stare. It makes me uncomfortable if the person I really, and I mean r-e-a-l-l-y like is staring at me...

2. My best friend just sent an Instant Message, "True love grows even from a distance."

3. Swarovski crystals hypnotize me.

4. After only two weeks of bonding, we might not see each other again...sucks!

5. Jerky Boy has asked me to give him a copy of Madonna's "Crazy For You" with guitar chords.

6. "Overjoyed" and "Lately" by Stevie Wonder are being played over and over again...sorry, my bad???

7. I am trying to do the "after-6" diet...then at 7 I eat dinner.

8. Sorting clothes is actually fun, specially if you wanna impress people the next day at work.

9. Love is in the air...I mean, Shella and Tina's virus...great!

10. I have, therefore I rejoice!

OVERJOYED

I've been too busy to even remember that I had this blog. It was just today that i thought about it when, during training, we talked about journals. In this case, an online journal. If only i had thought about this since last week at the start of my training at HSBC, then i would have shared so many laughtrips that had happened. And since it was my bad,here are just most of the things i dredged up...which i'll never forget

- Late: I cannot believe I was late on my first day at HSBC, worse, I was the only one. But thank God, i belonged to the more lively class...composed of 23 hyperactive wierdos, we are: Moi, Mitch, Nikka, Shela, Rissa, Tina, Rain Girl, Dino, Dwides, Kay, Danna, Joan, Veen, Pau, Jai, Jaimel, Francis, Caloy, Jasper, Mark, Papa Alex, Rain & Boyet

 

- First impressions: We actually wrote down something about our first impression on someone on a paper stuck on our backs. Comments I got: (most of which are plain b-o-l-a, hehe!) Charming, Irrisistable, Great Smile, Innocent (?!), Cool Mom, Cute, Shy, Nice, etc... Someone actually told me he thought I was suplada, but he didn;t write it there on that piece of paper...but he says I'm nice naman...

 

- Families: With the American Money Game, we are learning how to spend like Americans and what's more fun is that we assume a certain role, like for me, I am the father and we are actually rich...like we have a boat, we have two cars etc... but the thing is, we get to budget, entertain ourselves, get paid, spend wisely and all  that stuff... 

 

- Cancer Break: I have never smoked more than 2 sticks per day, every day in my entire life... I would say that i'm just a social smoker but now, it's like it's just not complete w/o it- Games: OK, I get to be with the group who always wins...period.

 

- Nick Names: Well, we've got our own, alright. But then the class' faves are Jerky Boy, Papa Alex, Rain Girl and Guy, what else...

 

- Icons: Well, our class is very well rounded, multi-talented... We actually have Divas, Salsa/African/hip-hop dancers,  5-6, debaters, Miss Congenialities... Basically, we're artists having creative minds and loves being original.

 

- Friends: It's really hard to establish your circle of friends at the start, but i wanna thank this group of people who I share the same interests with...and no offense to those i'm not  really close to... Dudes, thanks for all that crap, hehe!

 

Whatever!!!

 

I'm having fun and that's just what I wanna say...

Look At Me

Too many things have happened in just a short period of time. I have come to think of life as something that just passes us by. Something that, if we continue to ignore, would be meaningless. So that's why they keep on telling me to have fun and not to think of my problems because that too, shall pass. I certainly hope so.

Today, I posted a bulletin at Friendster...

Sometimes, in our relentless efforts to find the
person we love, we fail to recognize and
appreciate the people who love us. We miss out
on so many beautiful things and simply because
we allow ourselves to be enslaved by our own
selfish concerns. Go for the man of deeds and
not for the man of words for you will find
rewarding happiness not with the man you love
but the man who loves you more.

It’s not just love, but the things that really mattered to us. Once they’re gone, it’s the only time we come to realize that they have been imperative; yet, we continued to close our eyes. And when it passes, we regret that we looked the other way.

How then should we know? That I’ll leave to you…

The Start Of The Affair

The past week has been chaotic for me and i do not wish to start this month thinking about the storm that is invading my peaceful abode.

Today, I was 12 minutes late for work for the reason that my cousin had PC problems and had to fix at the last minute when we were about to ride a cab. On the way to Buendia, where i work, we talked about un-talked of relationships, meaning---affairs.

Why do people find it immoral to have an affair? On the contrary, why do some people do it, and think it's OK?

I put myself in this situation, I am married and in danger of becoming single again. I never had extra-marital affairs within the "so-called" marriage and i never want that to happen. Ever.

It is hard for my situation as i have just ended a marriage "doomed to fail". i have been living separately from my husband for two months now and just last week was the finale of it. No filing of Annullments yet, however, we have declared ourselves Single again. (And this whole thing doesn't involve a 3rd party, to make it clear) Maybe, i am qualified to have an affair?

For some people, when the marriage is going well, either of the spouse would not think about having an affair. The question is, why have an affair in the first place? With the bond of marriage, you purposely, responsively commit to one another your whole life of honesty, fairness, respect for each other, and what have you. And for some reason, one would still deviate and have an affair.

Whatever! Married or not, you have to end your present relationship first before entering a new one.
