the BOSS

How do you feel when people boss you around? Isn't it quite irritating? I know that there are some people who are considered as superiors but is it normal to actually be bossed around by these people, especially if you were not really hired to do the "meager" tasks that they want you to do.

Is it normal if someone asks you to xerox something for them? yes, if you are their assistant. But I am not, so for me it's not normal

I hate it when people treat me like I'm a trainee. I AM NOT A TRAINEE. I have been f*cking working in that company for a year now, and people have no f*cking right to ask me to fax pages for them, or make calls for them, or xerox pages for them, or get their water bottles out of the F*CKING refrigerator for them. Do I look like an assistant to you?

Yes, I'm so sorry I have been ranting all these things in my blog...HAHA

Oh well..

Better get to sleep now.

XOXO

You and I by Lady Gaga

I love Lady Gaga and I have been playing this song a hundred times today.

Enjoy long lost souls and may we find that light at the end of the tunnel

Captain America: The First Avenger

Last week, I had a free ticket to see the Captain America movie. Well, there was not much buzz about this here in the Philippines as compared to the last installment of Harry Potter.

Okay, so I'm not a fan of marvel comics or of superheroes, I just watch these kinds of movies in the cinemas because action packed movies give you a certain thrill when watching them in the movie theater.

So the movie started of swell, with a rather skinny Chris Evans. I have no idea how they did that, oh well, it's the usual Hollywood magic. Now I know that Chris Evans would not be "Chris Evans" without that great bod. A skinny body just doesn't fit him, and his face isn't so gorge either.

Right now I would love to watch the next installment of the Captain America film, since the ending was superb with Samuel Jackson in it. This one, wasn't that exciting at all. It was...hmmmm...normal and Chris Evans is hot.

I won't really spill anything here, since you have to watch it to really appreciate the film, so...happy watching!

RAIN.

Hi folks.

I haven't been blogging again recently since I have literally no time to do this anymore. I have been juggling two jobs at once, and it's really taking a toll on me. I really need some "me" time and I think that I also need to enjoy life a little more.

Oh well, this blog has been more of a "vent" blog than a place where you can actually discover things about me and where I live like how most blogs are. I'm really gloomy lately just like the weather, since it's been raining like every single day here in MNL. I have don a couple of mistakes at work, AGAIN, and you it's hard to make mistakes at work especially when something big is at stake. I won;t mention it here since, hmm, I don't find it proper.

I'm guessing I should change my blog name to: the whims of a 21 year old bitch. what do you think? Well, honestly I'm no bitch at all. You'd think that I'm the kindest girl on the planet, and my being kind usually pulls me down anyway.

Aside from having no lovelife and no social life, there's nothing really exciting about my job. I sometimes envy some of my friends who have other jobs with smaller salaries than mine, but are pretty much happy with what they have right now. I on the other hand, hate my job so much, but I just find it hard to resign. I don't know, I think I'm tied to a leash or something.

Last week, I literally told myself that I am going to resign from this wretched work, but just yesterday, my boss told me we were going to Singapore for 3 days in November. I haven't been to Singapore and I always wanted to go out of the country again, and to think that this is for free? Well, this is really something. so again this rattled my brains, and I really don't know if I can resign or not. I have been working so hard, with almost no sleep, that my eyes are always heavy in the morning, and I am getting fat from all this stress. Even if I don't eat at all, I just grow bigger and bigger.

I'd always tell myself that I can work on my own. literally. My freelancing job can really earn me big bucks. well aside from the fact that it is a bit boring since you are just working on your own, with no workmates or office, but the stress level is down and the pay is big.

The thing that keeps me staying is the fact that I can go to Singapore for free in November..LOL..yes it's that funny. Well in a third world country like this, going abroad for free isn't a joke.

Oh well, maybe I guess I have to rethink things again. I'm really not happy here anymore and I have dropped quite a big number of job interviews already

There is just one thing I need to do now. THINK.

i wanna know..have you ever seen the rain?

I seriously think that I was born in the wrong decade.

Lately I have been listening to some good 'ol rock music, specifically songs by Bon Jovi, Eric Clapton and Michael Learns to Rock. Yes, these songs remind me of my childhood. My Dad, who is a "silent/passive" rocker, used to play these songs in the car when i was little. So I got to listen to them, everyday when he dropped me of to school.

It's just now that I really get to appreciate them even more. I just want tp share this song that I have been singing all week long; it's called "Have you ever seen the rain" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, a.k.a CCR.

I first heard it on American Idol 10, when Casey Abrams made an AWESOME rendition. But ofcourse nothing beats the original, so here you go lost souls, immerse yourselves in the music.

(the fact that it's in black and white suggests that this is a very old song)

ranting.

I cannot believe that my last post was last october 2010. Jeez, it's March 2011, so that makes it 4 months?

Oh well. What can I say, if you actually read this blog, some of the last posts that I have made were about finding a new job. Yes, I'm still employed in that job and yes, I'm still surviving. 

Surprise! I'm planning to resign. Not soon yet, probably because I'm still in deep shit now. I have made a grave mistake which entails me to pay a rather big amount of money, and I am on a downward spiral. I haven't been sleeping properly during the past few days, because of excessive thinking and paranoia.

I really don't know what to do anymore, my reputation is totally ruined. (I totally sound like a movie line)

Sorry, for the random rants. I need just some sort of exit from all of this. It's really hard.

XOXO

Sulong ENTREP: Lahing Kayumanggi!

Kabalikat para sa Maunlad na Buhay Inc. or more popularly known as KMBI has been empowering Filipinos especially women since 1986 to break into micro entrepreneurship. Personally, I’m really thankful that there are still individuals like them, who take time to help the poor and marginalized members of the society to reach their dreams and feel fulfillment with the life they are living. KMBI initiates change even in the simplest of things. Not all business ventures have to start big and here is where KMBI comes in, they imbibe capacity, capital, and character into every woman that they help. Guided by these 3 C’s, women are sure to reach their goal.

Since 2007, KMBI has held a yearly summit as its anniversary celebration, and as a thanksgiving assembly to the Almighty God for all the blessings the group has been getting for the past years. This October 23, KMBI is reaching out to all the “entrepinoys” in Negros! They will be having another summit at the Victorias Sports and Amusement Center in Victorias City, Negros Occidental. This year’s summit will be guided by the phrase “My God is a keeper… and so I must be”, which clearly shows that KMBI is lead by Christian Values.

This year’s tagline: Sulong ENTREP: Lahing Kayumanggi! proves that they are really here to help every aspiring Filipino, and lend a hand to real people and obtain real results. With the line Lahing Kayumanggi, entrepreneurs have created an identity of the Filipino, in which every one can relate to, the color of their skin. This is most appropriate because, many of our fellow Filipinos, especially those living in the provinces are used to the usual buy and sell, and retail trade. The Summit aims to give a new light to the word Business, and brings hope that these micro entrepreneurs will not only stick to what they are used to, but finally break into the bigger market.

5,000 attendees, mainly women will join this year’s summit. Seasoned speakers and business experts, such as Pastor Bong Saquing, Pastor Philip Tarroja, Maricel and Anthony Pangilinan will share their humble beginnings, and how they were able to overcome all the obstacles that they encountered, and how they have reached the success of their business careers. The talk will emphasize on the secrets and tips on better business practices that each entrepreneur must do to achieve growth. At the end of each forum, there will be an open-mic session in which participants are given a chance to raise their questions and also ask tips from the professionals who will grace the event.

Outstanding women microentrepreneurs will also be recognized in the said event, through the KMBI Entrepreneur of the Year Awards. The last portion of the summit which attendees must look forward to is the Tulong sa Negosyo Raffle. Ten lucky winners will be able to take home Php100, 000, and 50 lucky winners will get Php10, 000 each. I am sure that the prize money can help our entrepreneurs in the expansion of their business. 

We are all looking forward for this exciting event. And I hope that God graces KMBI even more so that they can reach out to more Filipino women entrepreneurs in need of help. Kudos to you guys!
