....DiiN nA aNg SwELdO kO???

Why am i sitting at home after 24 hours of my pay day?
Because im damn broke. Why am i broke?
Because i spend almost all of my salary. Why?
Because i need unwind. Why?
Because im so stress. Why?
Because i just need a reason to make myself buy something and blaming it on stress. Why?
Because i really dont need the things that i buy , eg. another shirt , food , earing. Why?
Because i still have a lot of shirts, im fat and that earing is actually not that comfortable to wear in the 1st place. I knew it when i 1st tried it on but i still buy anyways. Why?
Because i cant resist beautiful earings even if it hurts my ear. Why?
Because theres a saying in hokkien ‘want beautiful dont want life’. Why?
Because you only live once , why not be beautiful and im bless with ear that can fit into those type of earings. So why waste it. Im still young to wear it and i dont want to be wearing earing in my left ear on my 80th birthday. Why?
Because my ear will really break that time la!
Ps - Theres another earing that i want to buy but its out of stock in store yet. When its available, you think i should buy ah?

....iM HiT WiTh DePrEsSiOn.....


I think theres something wrong with me. Nowadays , its either im in a very good mood or a very bad mood. Nothing in between.
Good mood behaviour
*Talk non-stop
*Laugh non-stop

*Be nice to everyone
*Up for anything
*Excited about everything

Bad mood behaviour

*Don’t even open my mouth , even when a super cute girl is talking to me (ah! wasted)

*Always angry
*Wish that my life in different
*Don’t even come out from my room if i’m at home
*Thinks that i’m the worst person in the world

*Impatient
*Feels like starting a fight even with my mother and my brother who was just trying to help
*Secretly hopes that the prettiest guy in our office falls down the stairs (i’m so mean)
*Cry non-stop over nothing
*Sometimes , only sometimes k , feels like killing someone (no one in particular) , preferably by stabbing them to death Out of 10 days , 8 days i’ll be in a very bad mood. What is wrong with me??

....WhAt i Am ThiNkiNg NoW....


When am i gonna get my next increment?
When am i gonna get my next promotion?

When am i gonna ever have enough money?
When am i gonna earn P100,000.00 a month?
When am i getting my own house?
When am i getting my 1st car?
When am i gonna lose weight?
How come some people are like that?

How come Perry likes to sleep so much?
How come i am at home on a saturday night?
How come some people are just so good looking?
Why can’t i have a pet tiger?
Why do i like barnuts so much?
Why does my mum loves my brother more?
Why was i in a bad mood that day?
What did i dream about this morning?
Where is the parents of Kokey?
How do they look like?
Oh…Brain working too hard. I got headache d. But still i need to work.

BuLLsHiT tHiNg As A tEaM LeAdEr...........


The supervisor call my attention, its bacause of my dickhead agent who always disobey the rules and metrics of this company where i am currently employed as a team leader. This the worst thing being a team leader of one team or one account in the call center. You are the one who received punishment if one of your agents make eksena on the floor. The funniest thing is that i follow all the rules and metrics to avoid punishment while my agent doing stupid things to call the attention of the upper management and ako ang i-pull out para akigan, Gush! I really want to ask the opinion of Tita Charo, Tita Mel, Tyay Evelyn and Mama munyeka, Anu himuon ko sa agent ko nga tama ka salawayun???? Even my supervisor ask me what to do with him.. Damn!!! tani ma murag-muragan na ini kay natak- an na gid ko daw namit na gid patup- an!!!

FrOm OnE aGeNt To AnOtHeR......


Dear Call Center Agent, Ang hirap ng buhay natin, no? Ngayon pa lang tayo nagsisimulang magkakilala nang mahusay, nagkakaproblema na agad tayo. Hirap pala pag nagkakilala ang dalawang tao online, tapos magkaiba pa ang oras natin. Tulad na lang nung last tayo magkausap sa YM. Patulog ka na, kaka-online ko lang. Medyo awkward pa naman ang daloy ng usapan natin nun, pakiramdam ko napakaboring kong tao. Kaya siguro ako single for 3 years in the running. Tapos ngayon, ang komunikasyon natin eh, via text lang, tapos ganun pa rin, patay pa rin dahil sa schedule. Magtetext ka, tulog na ko; pag magtetext ako, malamang tulog ka or nasa office na. Siguro kaya ako single pa rin kasi maaga ako matulog. Paano pa tayo magde-date nyan? Pag rest day mo, uuwi ka pa sa probinsya, at pagbalik mo, wala ka nang lakas para makipagkita sa akin. Dapat yata umabsent ako sa trabaho para makita ka lang. Ayoko pa naman ng umaabsent. Kaya siguro single pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Ang gusto ko lang naman eh makausap ka nang matagal, makilala ka ng husto, makasalo sa isang simpleng hapunan, manood ng sine, tumanaw sa kawalan katabi ka. Pero eto, umaasa tayo na sana, magtugma ang ating schedule. Di pa rin ako nawawalan ng pag-asa. Darating din ang panahon natin. Ingat ka lagi. Love, Isa pang Call Center Agent

a letter for someone so special....


bakit ganun, parang everything has changed. kahapon lang, okey tayo. pero now that we're living in our own different dimensions, iba na rin ba? or is it only me? yikes. maybe i've expected too much. we were close. right. kaso baka i've interpreted it in a different light. mahirap talaga yung ganito. maybe you just see me as a friend. a close one, that is. i dont want to tell you how i feel naman kase baka mag-iba yung takbo ng paligid. sabi ng ibang friends, i should let you know my feelings daw. nyek, okey lang sila? i dont want to risk the friendship. alam mo, ngayon ko lang ulet nafeel to. i mean, when we're together, masaya ako. sobra. not because i like you. but because we're friends. nakakatuwa. i could just tell you anything and everything. hindi ako nahihiya. no pretensions whatsoever. kaso ang dami rin diyan na ganun din yung tingin sayo. i know im not the only one. ang friendly mo kase. you could just be anyone's bestfriend. as much as i would like to be your closest, im not demanding you to be. this time, i would teach myself not to expect anything from you. mahirap. ive learned this thing many times already. and this time, i dont want to make things difficult again, specially for me. i have to leave these concerns, of course with the Lord. i thank God for knowing you. for being your friend. kahit hindi bestfriend. ayos lang. thanks. you made me write again. i havent expressed myself maybe for the past months. im back.. and im wanting to write more. but this time, without giving misinterpretations to everything. i would leave things as they are. and if God has a different purpose for the both of us, then so be it. i wouldnt take things in my hand. God will. and i would like to say these matters to Him. Lord, You know how i feel towards this person. i just thank You and i truly appreciate this friendship. at this point, i dont want to expect anything in return. i know how it feels to get disappointed and frustrated, and i just pray that You would take the lead in this friendship. guide my feelings. and if ever, his feelings as well. Lord, if You would lead this friendship into something greater, then thanks! but if You plan otherwise, still salamat pa rin. just hold my heart. i know You have greater plans than i do. and Your thoughts are not like mine. You know what's best. and i would like to entrust You all these things. Father, please please hold my heart. sometimes i just dont know when i can be at my weakest. im willing to give this thing up to Your hands, Father. SALAMAT NG MARAMI. as for you, i dont know if you'll ever know this feeling that i have. i dont know what's next but i know, everything is perfect in God's hands. im giving you up. not because i dont like you anymore. not because im not looking forward of knowing you better.. not because im not eager to spend those brighter days ahead.. but actually, im giving you up because i want God to be God. ive been always praying for you. and it wont end there. to God be the glory. there. im just so happy kase ive learned to give her up last year pa. that was my Christmas gift to God and to myself. enjoy naman ang singlehood at masaya rin dahil siguro mas naa-appreciate ko yung friendship ngayon. wla kase akong ine-expect eh. haha. ang saya niya maging kaibigan. di ko papakilala sa inyo at baka maging masaya rin kayo. hahahaha. may isa lang akong hiling. wish ko lang may blogspot account siya diba. haha. para mapadali ang buhay. :-)
