What They Really Mean

I am confused, I don't know what to think anymore...
No, this is not another emotional breakdown. It's nothing serious really.
I've been trying to convince myself that I shouldn't take what other people say about me.
Sad thing is, I do care.
In fact, I care too much that I am hurt every time they say something bad.
Yeah, I know you'll ask "what if it is true?"
Well, I guess you know the answer, After all, reality not only bites, it kills.
But then, there are times that people say something really disturbing.
Are they for real? or are they just being insensitive.
Too insensitive that they never know that they're hurting other people.
Now, I know you'll say that I am just being sensitive.
You will say that I should talk back and tell the person that she's hurting me.
Easy for you to say!
Well, what do you expect me to do?
Approach the person and tell him 'Hey you! You've hurt my feelings!"
Very awkward right?
If you do it? It will be a start of a long argument.
Then, you'll realize that it had ruined your friendship.
Then it's too late to patch things up.
Okay, so what made me write these things up?
Can't take the suspense huh!
Hmmm.I am not going to tell you anyway..
Well, an overview will do..
So ok, here it goes..
Sometime this week, I posted a photo online.
As usual, I was smiling. (well, what do you do when your photo is taken?)
Then someone told me that I looked maniacal. (argh!)
She really didn't say the word, but it was really vindictive.
Do I? Really?
Well excuse me, I don't look like a deranged person.

 
 

Mondays With Mimi

Sounds familiar? Yeah I know you will probably say that this is another adaptation of Mitch Albom's novel.

Well, I admit I got the idea from the novel, but this blog is in no way related to the novel. Why? Because I don't have a dying professor and even if I have, I am not planning to record all our conversations and later on write a novel (heheh)

So what is it like to spend your Mondays With Mimi?

One, I have a contagious disease called Monday sick(ness.)

Two, I can teach you how to procrastinate, but no matter how much I dawdle, I still arrive at the office early . ugh!!!

Three, I have now taught you how to count from one to three....

Four, I can be really annoying that you will find yourself begging me to stop.. (down on your knees boy!)

Five, I have a strange disease, In just an hour, I can make you wishing for an all-black outfit (goth eto ate...)

Six, the spread of the java-virus, I can teach you how to drink a cup of coffee faster than you can say SUPER­CALI­FRAGI­LISTIC­EXPI­ALI­DOCIOUS. (I could have chosen a longer word..)

Seven, I can read you a story while waiting for Mr. Time to pass. You can choose among Cinderella, Snow White, and Pocahontas, but then of course, I am the storyteller, so expect some twisted endings and middles. hahahahaha

Eight, when the clock strikes 9:30 (my shift starts at 10) I ran to get a cab and cuss because I don't wanna be late. (toinks!!!)

Nine, haay, i can't wait for this list to reach ten......

Ten, I just consumed 5 minutes of your time by letting you read this......

don't blame me if you are now color-blind....

You use circuitous words to prove your eloquence. Furthermore, you have so far, taken into account words like in addition, however, and many other complex words.
You have strange expressions like shomilat, shostimil, gemma baki, kudasai, and other improvised lingo to talk about somebody else.
That somebody else talks about you too.
You find yourself torn between two factions.
You have a 3-hour coffee break.
You act like the spell check and the grammar-check applications of Microsoft Word.
When you are on a coffee break- you shout all your hearts out, not minding other employees.
Almost all of the HR staff loathed you and always pretend to ignore you when you have queries.
You hate UDOL...

I am sure naa pa dghan, so if you wanna share it up, just post it okay.....

tamalas EB...

My Birth Year

I was browsing some cool sites when I stumbled upon didyouknow.org. I have learned a lot of things but one thing that really made me laugh was when I found out what happened in the year of my birth (sakto ba?) eheheh

I've learned that

In 1983, HIV virus identified.
Cabbage Patch Kids debuts (dolls), as does Madonna.
Sally Ride is first US woman in space.
Pioneer 10 becomes the first man-made object to travel beyond the solar system.
Grandson of Alexander Graham Bell answers first commercial cell phone call.
Computer hackers break into US defence computers. --->> i like this one. ...
Programmer Jaron Lanier coins the term "virtual reality"

Oh, and another thing. I found out the day of the week I was born

December 22, 1983, It was a Thursday....

and in HISTORY

  • 12/22/1983 - Egyptian president Mubarak meets with PLO leader Yasser Arafat

My Emotional Intelligence IQ

Your EQ is 133
50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

FAMONYMOUS

There's another model search on TV just lately and I was quite taken aback by its propaganda. "Be Famous or Stay Anonymous." Aw, c'mon man! You know everybody wants to be famous but its just that time won't let them be. ehehe. The good thing with this show is that Piolo is showing his other side, the manly side, coz he said that he liked somebody in the show. Well, no matter what, I still think he's gay. (peace out)

Anyway, if they're going to ask me the same thing. I'd rather be FAMONYMOUS. A word I created by joining famous and anonymous (duh! self-explanatory oi! heheh) Why? Because I am shy(toinks!), I love privacy, and I wanted to go shopping without the paparazzi. So how am I going to be FAMONYMOUS?

Well, I can be a writer (fiction or nonfiction), with a pen name and all, I can be really really famous. Yes, I know you are about to say, "But What About Your Biography?" You know, the one found in the back of every novel. Well, I can create a new person. posible diba? heheh


Another FAMONYMOUS thingy could be being a voice artist! I can be the voice of a famous cartoon character or an anime. Say for example, the voice of the characters in Pugad Baboy or Pupung. Of course, I have to support Filipino-made comics pod oi. I like these comics, I wonder why they haven't made a TV series for it yet. Who knows, maybe I can become their forerunner and the world will be a happy place. (\m/)

And another thing, I can be a stunt-double, when my double gets famous for her act, the credit goes to me right? For sure, people won't think that a dainty Hollywood actress can do such thing!!! Dang! I'm sooo goood. heheheh.


Hmmm. What else? Oh! I can be famous by choosing not to be famous. wahahahahah. Maybe one day you'll be reading the news with me on the headline "IRMA MIMI refused to accept a Multi-Million Dollar Deal With FHM." wahahahahhaha. nabuang nakow. eheheh

Friends

What will you do if one day your friend turns his back on you and then you realize that the friendship never really started? It would definitely be devastating. I know, I've been there. Then again, who are we to judge people. If they feel that they don't wanna be with us anymore, so why bother. Well, I care because I really, and I mean really treasure my friends so much. I consider them my brothers and sisters because I never had a sister. I have one but we have a big age gap, not to mention personality differences. A day won't end without us arguing. So, like I said I love my friends. So what will you do when you're in a situation like this?

There are different kinds of friends. Shadow friends, the ones who stay close to you whenever you're under the sun, but will disappear when you're in the dark. Get the analogy?

So now, I would like to mention a few of my friends who are in one way or another touched my life. (mura man ko ani manamilit oi, heheh) in no particular order. heeheh
ady,suzet,miss jen,riza,mabel,jenalyn,susie,alvin,hazil,honee,daizyni,

New Job - New Challenges

Today marks my 5th working day. I was about to say 7th but then I remembered that we only have to work on weekdays. Heheh. This is something new for me because I am used to working almost everyday in my previous company. Although there are major differences I still say that I like my previous job and the company. Well, I've been here for five days so maybe there are surprises around the corner that will make me change my mind. However, I am happy that I found a job that is somewhat related to my previous. Writing has always been a passion of mine (duh! i sound like a candidate in a miss gay pageant) hahahahah. Well, computers are next in line. And guess what, I can combine both passion and I am never this happy. hehehe. I am so grateful for having this one. Thank you to my friend ( pa mention ka imo name?) and of course to God Almighty. Just like what my cousin told me, in God's time, I can have another job. This was because I was so worried before that I may not be able to find another. Oh well, I guess this is it huh?....

Why?

I have been trying to fool myself again. I tried to convince myself that I no longer have feelings for him. Do I still have? Hell I don't know. This is really, really frustrating. Here I am trying to catch a glimpse of what is currently happening in your life but at the same time, trying to be anonymous. Its a good thing I can change the setting for viewing profiles. ugh. why? why can't i forget you??????????? I am afraid to see you again. Why? because I don't know how will I react. Should I be angry or happy? I remember very well how I felt when I found out that you are already in a relationship. You know what? I felt happy. But now, I dunno. I hoped that we never had that conversation and hope that I won't be reminded by the happy moments we had together. Yes, I admit. I have loved you, but you don't know that because you left me, without even saying goodbye. I now know that the proverbial "you realize you love someone when they're gone" is real. Now, I'll just have to go on with my life. I just want you to know that I love you until someone will come to replace you in my heart. Until then....

Elevator Mentality

Going up! Going down! Elevators! Probably one of man's greatest inventions but they never amuse me. Well, I appreciate them when I'm in one of those highrise building but as much as possible, I take the stairs. Only if its four-storey high or something. Yes I am weird again.
Haven't you noticed how people inside these lifts have their own world. It's like there is a big sign somewhere inside that's prohibiting someone from speaking or even smiling. Well, there is, I've seen one. No talking inside, keep your voice down, blah, blah, blah. But then, come to think of it. You probably have worked inside that building for years and you've seen each other almost everyday and yet you are not allowed to strike a conversation inside? Oh come on!!! What's wrong with you my friend??? (ehehehe) A simple exchange of hi and hello would suffice. This is what we call an "Elevator Mentality." It's a state in which people dwell in anonymity. They are trying to shut themselves out from just about everybody. You think that's cool? You're standing there with your business suit and trying to look at the numbers on the elevator or anywhere so that you may not look into someone and be obliged to smile. phoey!!
What I'm trying to say is, why don't we all travel back in time and look at how our fellowmen interact with each other. We Filipinos are supposed to be friendly. So what's happening now? If you look at business centers here and in Manila, you rarely see someone greet each other, not even good morning! But when you look at construction sites or anywhere opposite to the business-suit-clad dimwits, you realize that they share a certain bond between them. Yes! They are friends, and friends are supposed to help each other and comfort each other. No wonder people in the high-working class are cranky. They've got no friends to share their thoughts with.
So if you are in one way or another infected with this disease then, something's wrong with you my friend. EHEHEHEH. I rest my case. (for now)

Confessions of a Job-Hunter

My pursuit to find another job is very tiring, not to mention stressful. After all, this is my second job-hunting so I cant say that I'm used to it since I dont usually hop from one company to another. Yet, I have to say that it is fun and exciting at the same time. I get to meet people from all walks of life. I remember very well when I applied for a call center job and then during the preliminary exams, i got kicked in the shins only to find out that the girl beside me wanted to know the answers to the questions. hahahaha. It was really funny, I had butterflies in my stomach that time and they flew away. eheeheh. Unfortunately, I wasnt able to get the job because the HR Staff doesnt think that I am worth it. It was very frustrating. I've been through three written exams and then I aced the interviews and then at the end she will tell you that you didnt make it? Because I happen to loose one customer during the phone simulation? Oh puuhhlleeease. Very well, what's done is done. Cant do much about it. But I have to really get this out of my system. If she thinks that I am not for the job then maybe she should think twice, her pronunciation for resume (risume) is out of this world. ahaha.
This job-hunting adventure had me thinking about the ironies in companies right now. I have come to witness the paradox happening in the workplace. What I am trying to say is that, foreign companies are more known for being able to recognize Filipino talents. They believe in our ability and are more impressed with our capabilities. I know because I've been interviewed by a foreigner and he made me think that I've got the potential. He made me think more of myself. No wonder a lot of my colleagues wanted to go abroad, including me. Come to think of it, I have met a lot of head hunters during my quest and I have seen how they frown at you, even mock you. Piece of advice? Dont let them intimidate you no matter how hard they try. So what if the person doesnt have enough experience or whatever reasons you may think of. Isnt training supposed to make up for that??? This is really, really frustrating. I am not saying this because I havent got a job yet. I am saying this because I wanted to hunt these kind of people down (no! Im kidding of course) hehehehe. Wake up people! You're lucky I am not a head-hunter. ehehehe.
All in all, If there's someone out there who's in the recruitment field, think! and think very well, You might not know it, but the future of the company may lie in the hands of the person you turned down. (no, i am not embittered). hehehehehehekehkhekhek.

Back To Reality

I am back in the city and I can't help but think if I have done a mistake for being here. Ok, I know it sounds weird but i cant help it. I mean, I've been pestering my mama for not letting me go and now that I am here, I wanted to go home. I admit I miss them, my nieces, my conversation with my pa, sharing jokes with ma (which is unusual). I miss my solitary moments, day-dreaming, picturing myself as the hero of a novel, not caring what's happening to the world. But then again, I have to do this so as to satisfy myself and to prove that I am not useless. I could have chosen a simpler life in the province yet I long for more. I know I have to keep on chasing my dreams until they get tired and stop for me to grab them . hehehe. Very well, i guess I'll just have to face new challenges now and live up it. Now, I have to face people from different walks of life (funny, I always say this during interview), dress formally to impress employers, wake up early, and look for companies which locations I'm not familiar with, (under the blistering heat of the sun) Hello world again. c'est la vie *sigh
