Jealousy is a lonely word

 Call me silly but I would write about stuff that are kind of personal. ( A little TMI ) So this girl who claimed she is the girlfriend of this guy I used to see texted me using his number verbally abusing me calling me a silly slut. A very jealous streak. So I told her, hey chill I'm not doing anything to him.  I did not anymore tease her or anything out of respect and you know I don't subscribe to slut shaming.. Lol! I don't blame her  because this guys really hot. And he's kind of commitment phobic , maybe his still playing the game (his got the making of a fuck boy starter kit) lol! But well he's got redeeming qualities..(to be really fair) 

It's so ironic when there's this  other guy who message me wanting me to join him and his girlfriend for a vacation because he said his girlfriend likes me a lot.  So I didn't actually know that he's got a girlfriend. I told him, so you told your girlfriend that were talking? She is the coolest! But of course I declined lol!  Now I read an article about jealousy and affairs with other people that really it's about being open. Like in that movie Unfaithful,  Diane Llane  had an affair with a French guy. If the  husband Richard Gere would simply accept that she was just going through a phase their marriage wouldn't become that dramatic.  The murder would have been prevented. She would just have that one night stand with Frenchie, get home to hubby more learned and do her wifey duties and he should just be cool about it...Im not saying I'm condoning affairs - I'm jealous myself but I guess I am more open minded about these things now more than ever.  told ya, my heading in tinder in case I ever use it would be- im here for research.. Talk about your interest, and the things you are passionate about - it's all fair game...But really, you still learn a thing or two about other people. And humanity, choices and relationships is an interesting thing to be discovered and explored . 

Links to the other blogs

Maybe this is overshare?  I love reading old post because it somehow brings me back to the time I was writing them. Then I thought that well I am a private person and most of these writings are just personal and stuff I write for myself. I read an article about people who's business is digital reputation management. Link is : http://thehustle.co/how-porn-star-sasha-grey-removed-1000s-of-cocks-from-internet-search-results

I may never need this someday because my writings are SFW lol...


I just realize that I still have old writings stored in blogs I rarely visit

I remember I also have one in Wordpress just have to retrieve the details...

Late post (written last June) Unmet, unsee, unmatch

Psychology defines - Memory is the process in which information is encoded, stored, and retrieved. Encoding allows information from the outside world to be sensed in the form of chemical and physical stimuli. I don't have the best of memory recall. Blame it on age or something else. However I've been practicing recall.  On my way back from Bacolod I took the Roro  because the commute is nearer my town. I've been going there for the past weeks because of familial obligation  first and then to see my friends whose vacationing from the US. This is the very reason I didn't go to Laboracay this year.  Even was the lure was just overwhelming, Zoukout was presented by my company. But an aunt passed away and it's kind of disrespectful to be partying in the island while the rest of my relatives are paying their respect.  Anyways...

 I heard a song  playing from the tv screen as a background music for the teleserye  and I relate it to another melody playing in my head which was vaguely familiar . I tried to google a line from that song but I don't have the correct lyrics to it. I don't even know the title or the singer.  I was obsessively trying to remember even using my data and just try to really store that sound in my head. Then I tried to recall of that song is one from an indie singer and google it again and finally recalled  that the song sound like one of the soundtrack of the vampire movie Twilight. I have to try to open my old IPhone 3G with old songs to no avail. Finally I googled Twilight soundtrack and got it correctly but with some effort because there's been 4 movies. But finally I remember it as Turning Page and I didn't know the title at that time. It was actually played in the wedding of Edward and Bella in Braking Dawn. (It's not A thousand years) Told  you, I watch all the movies and read all the books. I'm not really a die hard twifan I was just a reader and a pop culture aficionado with fear of missing out.  But that wedding scene is a tearjerker I must admit. The twilight franchise catapulted Kristen Steward and Robert Pattinsons fame as well as their love story. Many fans rooted for them and also many girls hated her. Alas, they have to separate  because of a cheating scandal and Rob is now dating an indie girl FKA twigs and Kristen has a girlfriend. c'est la vie! 

So where was I ah memory - sometimes, it has such a funny way creeping on us like some thing has associations to feelings and occasions in our lives.
Just a few days back, the owner of the resto where we had brunch with the workmates approach me and I called my name and ask me if I still work for Globe. I thought he was just a subscriber but then he reminded me that once he interviewed me for a job opening in the company he used to work for. It was only then that I recalled him. obviously I stayed with Globe.. So memories,  It can bring smiles to our faces as well as bittersweet memories. It's when I sometimes thought, I wish I could unmet, unsee,  unheard and unmatch  ( this ones possible though) or simply forget like that movie Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind. But well that technology of erasing memory hasn't been invented yet. (Unless you want to bump your head on a wall) whatever those memories are they made us who we are now. It's all part of us we just gotta chose what's worth remembering and just leave them be the ones that makes us unhappy. We still have a choice..


The vain shall prevail

Last night, found myself in a facial center to get my facial laser and also some manicure. I would usually get my treatments in the same spa although not always in the same branch. I have pimples I admit and I expect that it would be  painful to have it pricked. But the facialist assigned to made it worst. She was impersonal, and doing it mechanically like my face is some kind of meat she was murdering. I tried to just keep calm although I know my expression was that of pain. You know twisting and my eyes watery. And then maybe 15 minutes of agony and I was already verbally abusing her in my mind. And then in my most tender voice I told her, "Miss Pwede Hinaya Lang" since I am also having my manicure the manicurist thought I was referring to her and she said me? No, I said her referring to the facialist. 
I resisted the urge to talk or say anything more as to antagonize her and I'm at her mercy since she's handling my face. But I didn't hear her apologizing or anything. And when I'm done she just left without saying anything that made me kind of loose my cool so I have to ask the other facialist doing facials I the other bed for her name. Then she called her and I have to speak my mind. Told them I know the owner and I will tell her about my experience. 
I have the choice to let the owners who are my org mates but I did not because I thought it was unnecessary and thought about what if this girl lose her job and if that time she was just having a bad day or it was kind of late and she was already tired. I expect good service but I don't also want to sound whinny. Sometimes we gotta choose our battles. Next time I'm there I'll just ask another facialist. 

Pokemons and learnings

I was bonding with my nieces who are teenagers and they would talk about their musical idols- Selena Gomez or Arianna grande. I would usually watch movies with them and be updated of what interest them. I  prided myself for knowing a lot about pop culture but certainly there are some things that  I don't understand like they educate me how catching pokemons works,  that flip tops are rap battles and that kids nowadays read through  watt pads some movies were even based from them  and manga is the Japanese comics where even some adults are obsessed with. I love Japan and  I witnessed that their people are one of the most polite in the world. But I don't understand the obsession to Naruto and the like. I've recently only learn how to do snapchats when I have it long time ago, my 9 year old niece have to teach me how to do it... Well it's good to learn a thing or two from others like the past month I've been asking opinions of some  friends abroad about the Brexit. It's something that's I don't have very strong opinion about because I wasn't very well informed. And opinions vary from people to people especially from different Europeans.  I am pretty mainstream with  a lot  of my views but it's always safe to know the issues. Anyway, Pokemon go is not yet available in the Philippines  as of late but I heard our company is partnering with it soon..I don't see myself becoming a Pokemon catcher because I am never a gamer in the first place. (I'm a lover not a gamer?) lol

You, Me GOT tonight


Just like everyone else who doesn't know what to do with their lives every time their favorite show season ends I still somehow recall my favorite lines and my life's lesson from the show. No matter how bloody, sex and nakedness...(the shows charm actually) 
These are the my take away for Game of Thrines season 6.

Just like Cersie - it's just feel so good to say "I choose violence" if only in our mind

The girl has no name but it's also best to say, I'm Arya Stark or Winterfell or whatever your name maybe. Names have power! 

Leaving the world better than we found it - Khaleesi

You may travel places and found a many adventures but you still long to go back to your roots. Just like Khaleesi 

Hodor- because chivalry is not dead! ( or is it?)

Spring cleaning again

So today I did some spring cleaning. Like I decided to sell my stuff to my workmates - clothes, shoes etc that I don't plan to wear anymore. Also I stumble upon some docs that I kept some of them age from way back in college and some from my first job... I saw some certificates of trainings I attended, class cards with grades from college, draft of my college thesis. I even saw a memo I kept from my boss because of my tardiness. Oh well, some things are inherent. I try to redeem my lateness with some other qualities such as working smart and being relevant.. Ahem! Like I saw some certificate of appreciation for my sales and customer service performance. So I guess I still have to retain copies of these even just pictures of these validation.  I used to have some journals and calendars of to do list I don't want to let go. I thought that in case I die and someone decide to write my life story they would have more materials. I'm not a game whore or something it's just that me and my friends would sometimes joke that we would have a thing or two to blackmail each other someday when one of us becomes famous because we know some of each other's dirty secret.. Lol!
On a tangent, I'm also thinking of the day I'm selling most of my clothes  and stuff because I have to leave for another country- maybe a year from now! Because in this new country I'll be needing four season ensemble lol!

London Calling




This write up came up at a time when I was trying to comfort a friend who has to cancelled a wedding. She was ready to leave to be with a guy but has to end the relationship because  there was some unresolved issues concerning religion. The guy's  family is from
Pakistan and are  solid Islams. They wanted her  to change religion, change her name and the works. I guess    Relationships takes hard work as it is and changing religion is I guess a hard limit for most. In our viber group a lot has commented to comfort her. Some were sincerely heartwarming and some are practical and funny to cheer her up.  We have a viber group because we're batch mate in one of the company training we attended. We learned that although the guy has already lived in London and in fact he's a British national now. He still conforms to the religion of his parents. I've commented how this is the 21st century but how slowly some of this countries have evolved in terms  of their treatment of women. But well we can't argue with culture. In some ways it has probably helped them as a country and also doomed them but still it's their own. Some joked her that it's probably for the better, because he might be an ISIS. Well at this time you can never be too careful..

Interestingly, while I was eating alone at the mall food hall, these girls has to share table with me -  these girls looking like they're fresh out of college or in their 20s. I can't help but overhear their conversation. Apparently one of the girls is going to London to meet her boyfriend who is Scottish and she was asking some tips from the other girl who has been there or has lived in London for some tips where to go and what to do. This girl who's going to London is meeting her boyfriend and she has still to get her tourist visa. And in case she doesn't get approves they are planning to get a fiancĂ©e visa. 
wow what confidence in relationship this girl has, I thought. They were talking 
like they  know shit about love and life and relationship I actually envy them. I have reached this age and I honestly could say that I am just winging it!  I am never an expert I guess it doesn't necessarily come with age but with experience, maturity and the situation. They were even talking about Brexit , at least they are relevant....The things we do in the name of Love! 

All things Gen3

So today we opened finally our Globe Gen 3 store. In case you're wondering what a gen3 store is :   http://www.globe.com.ph/go/welcome-to-gen-3 (to the uninitiated) a store designed by the esteemed designer Tim Kobe. After so many months of endless trainings, sleepless nights we see the fruition: some colleagues are having PTSD ( not exaggerating)  some got strains in their relationships (l was always saying: Nasira  Ang relasyon in Tagalog - little exaggerated). The behavioral training was the bomb. The competition  ( the other major telecom in the country has been vocal about admission of their losses) and this is because of the Behavioral training curriculum given to gen3 staff along with the coolest store. Now looking forward to our international certificate from Japan. The downside would be everyday we are exposed to a lot of standing my feet aches everyday, I don't know how much of this I can take. ( another year maybe and I'm ready to leave for Eu)  I also ordered yeezy shoes to make my work fun and comfortable... Adapt or die!
