“MOVING OUT SALE!”

That’s all me and my roomie have to see and we went "gaga" on checking out what’s in store for us on that lovely event. It’s like treasure hunting, the girls’ way, as we find someone’s "garbage" our very own "precious".

So we thought of buying the entertainment set: TV rack, DVD player, TV and speaker…then came our desire to have our own fridge, which makes the situation worst because, now, we’re confused on what to spend on and thought really hard why buy any of those stuff.

I checked on my budget and only to discover that I don’t have enough money to buy any of the two!! Now that worsen the situation. See, I’m a spender only on the things I think worth spending for. It took me months…ok, years to learn not to be a compulsive buyer and spend less on clothes, food, going to events, weekend night outs and food again. It took me time to realize the value of saving and I’m now practicing of "segregating" my earning on what to save on and which to splurge for. I’m starting to be a "budget driven on every way I can think of" and it’s just sad that either of the things we want on that sale is not part of my budget! I threw my credit card away, and have my wallet on a strict diet as possible!

While we’re facing a dilemma on which to buy, that will fit OUR budget, my roomie and I still decided to set an appointment to meet the people who’s on for the "Moving Out Sale". They live just across our building, and met the lovely couple, as we "visit" their place and "took a good look" on what other things we can buy, which we can use on our own place. The search for that something essential for us is on! The fridge and the TV set was sold so here are some things we considered buying:
Prospect #1: The dining Table. Prospect #2: The sala set. Prospect #3: Some Christmas decors. I thought of haggling and had a discussion with myself if "is it worth it?". It was once stated at The Analects that "Twice is plenty enough", but with all the good stuff I see at the four corner of the room, hell! Twice is not enough, because it’s making me think thrice, four times, to really decide on what to buy.

Then at one glance at the center table ended our predicament! There, something that made me and my roomie smile! We just knew it…it’s worth every cent we have on our pocket and damn so entertaining. So I sat down, take a good look, asked my roomie if she like it too, received a nod, held it in my hands and it made me feel great as ever! One, two…oh no…5 back-issues of every woman’s bible: Cosmopolitan magazine! We just knew it…our own treasure worth keeping for only P20 each!! We handed the pretty lady our cash and went back happily to our own pad. See, we didn’t go home empty handed after all!

So now, which article to begin….Ü

On “Big Bang Theory”

I didn’t really get to watch TV series lately after Prison Break, Sex and the City and Gossip Girls, since first, we don’t have cable here on our condo and second, I only get to watch it on weekends when I go home, which only happened 2x in a month.

A friend told me about this TV series and highly recommended it to me because it so darn funny. So when my roomie and I went to the mall, I thought of buying 3 cds for all the series of Big Bang Theory…and then after watching few episodes of it, I got hooked!

It’s a typical story of 4 geeks meeting a pretty blonde, not really messing up their life but showing them that there’s a world outside their researches, experiments, online games, Star trek and other boring geek stuff. Ü

Sheldon is the funniest among the 5 main characters and how I love his cute, annoying remarks which will make you think twice whether to be mad at him or not. He talk non-stop and his knowledge about science, math and history is indeed unfathomable! He’s one Obsessive Compulsive guy, an online game freak, don’t really see himself dating or going out with girls, wants to be Batman, loves and fears her mom and doesn’t know sarcasm. He's like a grade school geek, who is (so) loquacious....how cute could that be!!

Then Leonard is Sheldon’s "apartment-mate", who happens to be more "active" in search for the right person to be serious with. He’s more patient, more understanding and rationale enough to endure Sheldon. He’s one total geek, who knows how to steal a girl’s heart but doesn’t know how to keep them for long.

I’ll say Howard is most "perve" among them, though he’s the kind of those "who-hit-on-girls-who-ends-up-being-hit-on-his-face!" guy. He often say the worst pick-up lines (ever!!) but totally funny. He’s one hilarious, hippie-looking 27 year-old nerd who still lives with her mom and loves her mom’s beef brisket, loves doing researches and experiments on how to make a girl sleep with him, the only one who doesn’t have a PhD among the four and like a high school kid on a man’s body!

The quiet among them is Raj…that is if he’s not drunk and when there’s a beautiful, sexy chick around him. He can’t utter a word when he’s in front of a girl…again, only if he’s not drunk, but can do talk a lot at times too (no one beats Sheldon though). He’s the typical Indian nerd who happened to be friends with typical geek friends, who met this girl Penny and things go haywire!

And Penny is the one who introduced them to the real world! She’s the one who slowly show them that there are things that isn’t justified by science, theories and laws, such as dating a girl, handling a relationship, the real deal with giving without expecting something in return, being concerned about someone’s feelings and the art of making someone say "sorry". She’s just one sweet chick…a little dumb on the other side but indeed a street smart.

When two geeks meet a hot chick….and two more geeks joined the bandwagon and it’s like a Thai curry, mixed with beef brisket and japs cuisine on the side….yes it’s crazy and a whole lot of fun!!

Update you more on my favorite episodes soooon!!

Got totally pissed!

12:43 am - Tuesday


I don’t know if I’m just a little sensitive today or I just run of patience to this person…I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t have enough sleep or because of other personal shits that’s going on in my life.

Anyhoo, I just don’t get it when there are girls who are a little superficial…specifically when boys are around! Geez! I’m over this person who is acting nice, sweet and as if she’s like an angel descended from heaven, when the truth is, she’s a devil in disguise!!! She’s nice when she wanted to, on the people whom she knows that liked and still like her…I don’t get it! Why do someone have to be really superficial and be a total pain in the ass, just for guys to like her!! That’s disgusting!! Well, if that’s her way on getting someone fall head over heels, I’ll let her be…

Now the good thing is…I’m going home now and will just sleep the night away, or will just watch Big Bang Theory!

Just for laughs!!

I don’t have any idea where this thing came from, but all I know is it’s one funny shit!!!
Have a good laugh!!Ü

(from someone's blogpost)


We've been friends for a long time ago. We come from the same alma mother. Actually, our paths crossed one time on another. But it's only now that I gave him a second look. I realized that beauty is in the eyes. The pulpbits of my heart went fast, really fast. Cute pala siya. And then, he came over with me. He said, "I hope you don't mine. Can I get your number?" Nag-worry ako. What if he doesn't give it back? He explained naman na it's so we could keep intact daw. Sabi ko, connect me if i'm wrong but are you asking me ouch? Nabigla siya. Sagot niya, The! Aba! Parang siya pa ang galit! Persona ingrata!!! Ang kapal niya! I cried buckles of tears. Na-guilty yata siya. Sabi niya, isipin mo na lang na this is a blessing in the sky. Irregardless daw of his feelings, we'll go ouch na rin. Now, we're so in love. Mute and epidemic na ang past. Thanks God we swallowed our fried. Kasi, I'm 33 na and I'm running our time. After 2 weeks, he plopped the question. "Will you marriage me?" I'm in a state of shocked. Kasi mantakin mo, when it rains, it's four! This is true good to be true. So siyempre, I said yes. Love is a many splendor.

Pero nung inaayos ko na ang aming kasal, everything swell to pieces. Nag-di-dinner kami noon nang biglang sa harap ng aming table, may babaeng humirit ng, "Well, well, well. Look do we have here." What the fuss! The nerd ng babaeng yon! She said they were still on. So I told her, whatever is that, cut me some slacks! I didn't want this to get our hand kaya I had to sip it in the bud. She accused me of steeling her boyfriend. Ats if! I don't want to portrait the role of the other woman. Gosh, tell me to the marines! I told her, "please, mine you own business!" Who would believe her anyway?

Dahil it's not my problem anymore but her problem anymore, tumigil na rin siya ng panggugulo. Everything is coming up daisies. I'm so happy. Even my boyfriend said liketwice. He's so supportive. Sabi niya, "Look at is this way. She's our of our lives."


Kaya advise ko sa inyo -- take the risk. You can never can tell. Just burn the bridge when you get there. Life is shorts. If you make a mistake, we'll just pray for the internal and external repose of your soul. I second emotion.


The end!

When My Heart Cede

I shouted your name,
You didn’t hear a thing…
Wanted you to know my feelings,
Wanted to let you know it ain’t the same.

I did things I’ve never done before…
I acted indifferent and foolishly,
I thought I’ll catch you glanced at me..
Please, It’s just your attention I implore.

Days, weeks, months had passed,
We’re starting to act like strangers,
And all the promises are gone forever..
I wonder, when this tragic dream will last.

I think even our friendship’s over,
All the happy times are just part of memories.
I can only be thankful you’ve been part of me..
And I cannot ask or demand for more!

I’m supposed to tell you,
This feelings I’ve been keeping for long,
Now everything is like a fading song,
It wouldn’t even matter, if I say "I love you".

Monday the 13th

It ain’t bad as I thought but hell this day is sooooo boring!

It’s given that anybody will find my job boring, which I happened to like along the way, because I get to write, write and write! Rating calls is not as difficult as today; maybe it’s not the calls, not the agents, not my boss or my gay teammate sitting next to me…maybe it’s just me! Hehehe….it’s like Friday and will spend time sleeping after work because it’s weekend! But no, tomorrow going to be the same old routine, and it’s worst than Friday the 13th.

Anyways, this happened to be the day I get to decide if I really need a new phone (since my celphone was stolen), check all my debts and expenses, how much I’m earning and how much more I need, to support my wants, needs and my family. I stopped and got stuck thinking how to earn extra cash…even on my day-offs. I checked my email and thought of reapplying as a part-time staff writer on this particular site. Earning a thousand to four thousand in a month is not that bad. Atleast I can still save more money and send some to mama.

Oh, talk about saving moolah, here’s some things I ditch, to save money:
1. Starbucks drinks – I only go to any Starbucks store to burn my lungs along with my friends, but didn’t really order some drinks and/or food. One drink (tall or Grande) in a week will do, and that’s P750 of savings a week, for a P150 worth (min) per coffee/iced tea.
2. Food at the Pantry – It’s just expensive! That’s it!!
3. Buying a Pack of Cigarette – whether that be half a pack or by 20s or 30s, I just stopped buying by pack! Not just it’s costing me much, but I get to regulate my smoking habits from frequent, to not so frequent! Hahaha
4. Booze – I can’t even remember the last day I drink much alcohol with my friends…or even by myself! I’m totally alcohol free for a month or more!Ü
5. Taxi/Cab ride to and fro the office – Alas! Since my new place is a tricycle ride away from our office, there’s really no need to hail a cab….unless I’m going to take a ride with my roomies!! Hehehe
6. Mcdonalds! - it's been like a week since i bought food at McDo and it helped a lot while my wallet is on a strict diet! I was able to save P50 (at least) a day and i think i'm getting healthier than i think I am!Ü

Listen, think and talk...

"Those who know don’t speak, and those who speak don’t know" – Lao Tzu

In this generation of which people’s opinion matters, most of us are abusive on the freedom that we have. We comment on what we see, smell, hear, taste or feel even if it doesn’t make a lot of sense at all. We tend to be irrational and irresponsible at times, and most of the time does that, simply to have fun of someone. With this, our out-spoken opinion could lead to good or bad judgment.

The phrase "I’m entitled to my opinion" is overrated! But most of us do is talk before we think. A word said can be fatal than a sword – so it wouldn’t be bad if we be rational first before we said a word. When we’re emotional, we lose the most common of all senses and neglect the fact that people who said something mean to us have feelings too, so firing negative words as revenge only leads to a cycle of pain.

I’m not saying we should suppress our thoughts or feelings; it’s a matter of being responsible on the privilege that we have. It’s more of being mindful on every word that we say. Tone and timing is the key. We are responsible on everything we say, and if we become responsible on what we say, we become good listeners, thus can lead to proper communication.

One thing I’ve learned is, before you say something about what the person wears, looks, smell and skin tone…think first if what you’ll say is substantial. True enough: "If you have nothing good to say, better keep your mouth shut!". Empty words only come from an empty mind.

Can’t make her say “yes” for a date?

I have few guy friends who are still single for only two reasons: either by choice or no girls want to be in a relationship with them! Of course, as most guys say, it’s their choice to be single (thanks to their E-G-O), when the fact is, they can’t even have a single date with a girl. Why is this happening?? Then came along the magical-psychotic-thought: "What’s wrong with me?" (c’mon!! you guys DO ask yourself that question! Don’t be such a douche!).

Wondering why until now, you can’t snag a hottie? Ever thought how those "fuggly-looking-guys" get the girls and not you, when you know for yourself that you’re waaaaay better than them (yes I’m boosting your Ego!)? Can’t make the girl that you like say "yes"…even for a date? Geez, there could be something wrong with the way you approach girls, which instead of attracting them to your direction, makes them run AWAY from you!! Now don’t feel bad. There’s still a "cure" on the "don’t-know-how-to-date-her syndrome". Trust me, it ain’t because you’re too torpe or too cool for her, because she didn’t agree to date you. There’s just really something you need to improve on!
I’ve gathered some of my (beautiful) friends’ thoughts on what a better way for a guy to ask a girl out and hopefully you’ll learn from it….you should!

The first move…

"I would like us to be friends first…I don’t date someone I hardly know. If I know the guy asking me for a date, it’s easier to say "yes"…maybe we can start from casual dating.."
- Karen, 26

"I’d say no if I guy asked for a date if he’s just introduced to me (or someone I just met). I want to know him better first before asking me (for a date) and he should be sincere…girls just feel if the guy is sincere or not, instinct na yan!"
- phetsmsfs108se, 27

"It’s better if we’ve been friends for a long time, just to avoid awkward moment and so I can be myself when I’m with him. Plus, the guy need not to put his best foot forward, just to have "pogi points; he does need to feign when dating".
- April, 25

"As long as I’m comfortable with the guy, like if both of us can carry a very interesting conversation, and then I’ll go out with him"
- Aysa, 28

"The guy should know what the girl likes….including her interests"
- Pretty Anonymous, 25


Stop "hitting around the bush"!!

"Say it straight, face to face, be a man and not ask a girl out through IM or Text…(that's me – that’s my major pet peeve)"
- Carmela, 26

"Be straight forward! Yung walang paligoy-ligoy…like "do you want to have coffee or lunch or dinner sometime??" ".
- Jaimee, 24


On the "big night"!!

"PAY FOR EVERYTHING! A guy cannot expect to go dutch on a first, second or even third date, especially when his intention is to impress the girl he likes. The rationale behind this to make the girl feel secure that he can take care and provide for her, as we initially look at people we date around as a potential mate in the future. Once a girl is secure about the guy's sincerity and intentions, she will be the one to either offer to pay or insist on going dutch""
- katastrophic519, 27

"Listen to Her and Ask Questions --- ask her questions, but more importantly listen to what she has to say. A woman is attracted to a man who is genuinely interested in hearing what she has to say. Spend a lot more time asking her questions and letting her talk than talking more about yourself."
- Diana, 24

"First they have to pay! Then a guy should be sincere, dress appropriately and know what the girl’s interests. Not all first date should be formal, like in a restaurant. It should be more on where the girl will feel comfortable and it should be fun, so we (girls) will have the chance to know the person more".
- Hot Anonymous, 30

"First (i think), guys should always ALWAYS leave their home well-groomed (it's major turn off if the guy asking you out is or looks dugyot (dirty) right?). Second, (i think) it's important to know the girl's (you're asking out) interest so he will know where to take her on a date. Girls, will say yes often if she's interested in your date itinerary (unless he hates to be with the guy!) the guy wouldn’t want to ask a girl to watch a rowdy concert if she would rather watch I nice and quiet play, right?.Third, flattery will go a long way than sarcasm and being rude (girls and i mean ALL, still wanted to receive compliments.). Fourth, never underestimate the power of sense of humor! They (your date) will know that they will jive and actually talk on the duration of the date, rather than just stare at each other. And go on…actually ask her on a date already; you will never know what she'll say unless you do so. If she doesn't want to go, then maybe next time. ;)
- Rhia, 25

Managers beware! Ü

A forwarded email that i find really funny:


THE BEST RESIGNATION LETTER EVER

**Actual letter of resignation from an employee at Zantex Computers, USA, to her boss, who apparently resigned very soon afterwards!

Dear Mr. Baker,

As a graduate of an institution of higher education, I have a few very basic expectations. Chief among these is that my direct superiors have an intellect that ranges above the common ground squirrel. After your consistent and annoying harassment of my coworkers and me during the commission of our duties, I can only surmise that you are one of the few true genetic wastes of our time.

Asking me, a network administrator, to explain every little nuance of everything I do each time you happen to stroll into my office is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of precious oxygen. I was hired because I know how to network computer systems, and you were apparently hired to provide amusement to myself and other employees, who watch you vainly attempt to understand the concept of "cut and paste" for the hundredth time. You will never understand computers.

Something as incredibly simple as binary still gives you too many options. You will also never understand why people hate you, but I am going to try and explain it to you, even though I am sure this will be just as effective as telling you what an IP is. Your shiny new iMac has more personality than you ever will.

You walk around the building all day, shiftlessly looking for fault in others. You have a sharp dressed useless look about you that may have worked for your interview, but now that you actually have responsibility, you pawn it off on overworked staff, hoping their talent will cover for your glaring ineptitude. In a world of managerial evolution, you are the blue-green algae that everyone else eats and laughs at. Managers like you are a sad proof of the Dilbert principle. Since this situation is unlikely to change without you getting a full frontal lobotomy reversal, I am forced to tender my resignation, however I have a few parting thoughts.

1. When someone calls you in reference to employment, it is illegal for you to give me a bad recommendation. The most you can say to hurt me is "I prefer not to comment". I will have friends randomly call you over the next couple of years to keep you honest, because I know you would be unable to do it on your own.

2. I have all the passwords to every account on the system, and I know every password you have used for the last five years. If you decide to get cute, I am going to publish your "favorites list", which I conveniently saved when you made me "back up" your useless files. I do believe that terms like "Lolita" are not usually viewed favorably by the administration.

3. When you borrowed the digital camera to "take pictures of your Mother's birthday", you neglected to mention that you were going to take pictures of yourself in the mirror nude. Then you forgot to erase them like the techno-moron you really are. Suffice it to say I have never seen such odd acts with a sauce bottle, but I assure you that those have been copied and kept in safe places pending the authoring of a glowing letter of recommendation. (Try to use a spell check please; I hate having to correct your mistakes.)

Thank you for your time, and I expect the letter of recommendation on my desk by 8:00 am tomorrow. One word of this to anybody, and all of your little twisted repugnant obsessions will be open to the public. Never f*** with your systems administrator.

Why? Because they know what you do with all that free time!

Wishing you a grand and glorious day,
Cecilia




ME: **yikes!!**

Lonesome tonight?

Loneliness is always been everybody’s (one of) main personal issue. Being in a relationship tends to measure ones hotness, appeal to opposite sex, self confidence and social values, whether that be in a good or complicated relationship.

Nowadays, they say being single is a sign that someone knows what he or she wants and how to get it, it’s a sign that single people don’t settle for something less and knows they deserve something worth the wait, it could also mean that single people have more time to enjoy life more than those in a relationship. Well for me, I find this a lie!

Some opted to be single because they simply having fun not being tied to somebody, and enjoys having "fling" with someone….to mind you, "fling" is a relationship, also known as being friends with benefits with someone. Still, single people dating anybody they like or want for that matter, is unaware that they are starting to build relationship with someone; they are not just tied to them like those who have a serious relationship with. They have freedom to choose, and that freedom makes it different from other relationships some have. For some, they even consider themselves to be in a "complicated" relationship. Sorry, but for me people who are engaged to this set-up are more likely insecure of themselves or could be taking revenge on bad past they have. They don’t get tired playing around simply because they always find flaws, either on themselves or the person they are seeing. This statement only goes for players out there, stating they are single while making other weep without being aware of it. Again, singles who are love to mingle and flirt around with anybody they like are players.

Some people are love chasers. They are those who are the "players" victim. They are single because they think, all the person so go out with or met, don’t like them. They are those who often think "I may not be the right one for you, but someone is out there who will love me back!". They are pretty strong and never get tired on seeking the right one. They are those who are "pretty close on finding the right one", but still end their nights alone.

Hopeless romantics are often single too. They are the ones always waiting for someone who will make them whole, who will help them find the value of themselves and will make them see stars and fireworks every time they go out with someone. No sparks means no love for them. They rely more on happy endings (which by the way, ever lasting love only works if both couple are dead and spending time in heaven), prince charmings and beautiful princesses. Hopeless romantics always end up with the wrong one, like those Love chasers…and often ask themselves "why?". Then again both of them have in common, they are this close on meeting the right one for them…they only have to waste time with the wrong ones.

And there are some singles that just enjoy the life they live in! They go out with their friends, consider dates as a "bonus" on their weekend schedule, appreciate their family more because they spend more time with them and of course, starting to love themselves simply because they know they will find the good one for them (take note: not the right one) and they know for themselves that they can spend time with the wrong ones, but not really waste their time for them. They have more life than the players, love chasers and hopeless romantic have. Then again, they end up alone, maybe because they enjoy their own life so much, they unaware that they are not letting someone take a peek on their adventurous, often busy life! Worst is, they still feel alone, for they have been single for eons!

So what really makes someone feel less lonesome? The key is, loneliness don’t rely on someone’s affection alone. If you are to tell me I’m wrong…think how many divorce or annulments are being process by lawyers every single day? How many couples are wasting money for couples’ therapy? Not to mention all couples separating without any professional help. Point is, being single does make someone feel alone, but it’s only a matter of having a balance life so single person won’t feel lonely at all.

People should shrug off the idea that lonesome gauges someone’s weight, number of friends or sex appeal. It’s a matter of learning how to love, be loved and finding love without doing any desperate moves. It’s learning self acceptance and appreciating life. Someone status is an option…so does loneliness.
