There was a time when I used to believe that there's no such thing as a bad date.

That was waaay back when I was young and foolish. After being exposed to the dating battlefield for some time, I've seen the worst. (Please pray to God that you won't go through this at all.) Warning: Don't try this when you really like someone!

Thank you to my new ( Read more... )

I don't subscribe to the Starbucks Principle.

It sounds catchy but it's not my original idea. I actually picked it up from a book. There was a Filipino writer whose piece was once included in that famous Bob Ong book, Bakit Baliktad Magbasa ng Libro ang mga Pilipino? (Why Do Filipinos Read Books Upside Down?), who wrote that yuppies in our fair ( Read more... )

I just got home from work. It's night shift. Work starts at 10 PM and ends at 6 AM. As of now, I'm supposed to be sleeping but I'm getting the urge to write so here I am.

But it's not good if you've been doing it for two weeks straight. It's maddening! I am completely tired of the four corners of our house. I've read all of my books, ( Read more... )

God is really good. He's not done with me after all.

Imagine my surprise on Wednesday when I was informed that I could definitely transfer to a different line of business that doesn't require vocal chords! I was really shocked. My team manager was very kind because he didn't process my termination. He was waiting for me to show up and tell him ( Read more... )

My new status isn't sinking in yet. I wonder why. I've officially quit my job yesterday so I can concentrate on recovering my previously spectacular vocal quality. It's a series of unfortunate events, really, so it's quite easy to deduce the reason for my denial. I guess I've been so used to juggling my schedule as a working student that the ( Read more... )
