Another year older...

Two days from now, I'll be another year older...turning 28 this 5th of October. But I'm not quite sure how or what should be my feelings/emotions toward this so called special day. There are a lot of things that I haven't completed/done yet. How I wish as one individual gets older, his/her career and success follow. Well, reality sucks! Hehehe.

Anyways, if in case you might want to greet me on my birthday...just send me a text and I am thanking you all now in advance. I will not celebrate my birthday...I'll just probably sleep.

Gotcha!!! Will I forgive???

How much can you trust someone who has been lying to you for almost 10 months? How can you trust someone who has been egocentric and user for the past 10 months? To be honest, if I'd be asked with the same questions, I would answer, "I don't know."

I might forgive the person and would still give him/her another chance especially if that person really is special to me. No matter how big the lie is or no matter how user he/she is, I would still forgive and understand. I still believe that in someways and at some point in time, the person will realize what he/she did and finally change. Unless I die waiting for it, I guess, I'd stop.

Anyways, hope we all could give a second chance to people who committed something bad to us so that they would try, think and believe that they still have a chance to change.

This is a nonsense article...:)

Letting Go...Goodbye FOG!

It was just last February of 2007 when I opened my very first business, FOG Tutorial Center. It felt good opening a business that I will say, I really own. Things went out fine...we had a couple of tutees and I had my friends who worked there as tutors. We were able to celebrate our first year, that was February 14th were most of the lovers roam around the malls or other romantic places. The celebration wasn't that big but we did however enjoy it. It was fun. Most of the tutees were there and all the tutors were there. I really miss that day.

Well, now the time has come...the time I never dreamt of coming. Effective 15th of August 2008, FOG Tutorial Center will be closed. I have finally decided to totally close it due to many reasons. I will miss the center. I will miss everything about it. But I will treasure everything that I have learned from my first business. I will never forget all the people who have helped me and who have stayed with me through the worst and best days in the center. Thanks Christine and Rhea for being there for the center and never gave up on teaching the kids. Thanks Erwin for managing the center for a year and helping me out with all the planning. Thanks Leo for inspiring me to start a business. Thanks to all the parents who trusted us with their kids...Mrs. Castillo, Mrs. Tenederos, Mrs. Tan, Mrs. Gavino, Mrs. Cruz and to the other parents who stayed with us for either a couple of weeks or months. I really appreciate everything you did for the center and for me. I love you guys!

Again, now is the time to say goodbye. Even if its too painful, I have to say goodbye.

Paalam FOG Tutorial Center!

Different types of Customers

I have been in the food industry for a year now...just celebrated my first year last July 10th. Anyways, within the year I have encountered a lot of challenging customers. Most of them will just shout at you and will curse you to death. Some will just approach you and quietly introduce themselves as VIP and ask for special treatment. Some will smile at you and some, deadpan.

I just had one encounter over the phone with one customer a couple of hours ago. She was claiming that there are two missing items in her order. I told her that I personally checked it and that it was released at the store 100% complete. Then she started talking in English as if she thought that the person talking to her will get intimidated and not talk anymore. To her surprise, I talked to her in straight English, so she went ballistic. She then told me that I was trying to point out to her that she was lying...I told her not. I was trying to explain to her that its part of our investigation however, she kept on talking and talking until our phone conversation got cut off. After that, I asked one of my Riders to deliver the as she claimed, missing two items. Just a couple of minutes after, Rider came back with the items I asked him to bring and approached me. He said that the customer didn't accept the delivery because she was mad. But Rider said that she kind of look like as if she found the supposedly missing items and was just too embarassed to admit it. So she just then rejected the two items I asked the Rider to bring and said that she'll report the incident to our office. To be honest, I felt initially afraid of what she said but then again, I told myself not to. I know that the delivery was complete and nothing was missed out. I hope she gets "karma" for whatever she did.

This is really one hell of an experience...

Work...work...work!

When I was not working for a year, I prayed that I had work. Now that I am working, I am praying that I could at least have a break from it. Hahaha. What an ironic and funny dilemma I have. Anyways, working in Jollibee as one of the Managers isnt really that easy. You have to at least be serious with everything you do and try to concentrate with your goal setting. It's really tough yet challenging. I have never enjoyed my life working until I started working with Jollibee.

Anyways, I just arrived an hour ago from work. I was supposed to go home at 11pm but I came home late because I had to finish some paper works at the store. It's hard but I am really enjoying the job and I love it.

For now, I'll just rest...stop working for a day. Hahaha. Nonsense...

Are you Loved or Needed?

This has always been a question to most couples, especially before marriage relationships. I have always been asking myself with this question and until now I still have yet to find out the right answer. I have had enough experiences with regard to "love" relationships and of course, it didn't last long. Good thing, I guess, I found my soul mate...we're going to celebrate our 4th Year Anniversary this coming May 24th. But sometimes, I tend to ask myself again, do I love the person I love now or do I need my partner other than love? Does my partner ask the same question as I do now? Well, I'm totally perplexed with the way our relationship is going. My partner knows what makes me happy. My partner knows what makes me sad. My partner knows whenever I needed someone to talk to. My partner knows almost everything about me...but I still don't know if those are symbolism of love. Maybe my partner just needs me because of companionship and care. Maybe I just need my partner because of financial reasons...Maybe my partner just needs me because of attention. So many questions yet until now I still don't know the right answer.

Am I loved or just needed? I guess, it's better to say BOTH...I am being LOVED and at the same time NEEDED. I'll just stick to this idea...no explanations needed. Hehehe.

Am I nonsense?

I have a very close friend of mine...very close one. He has some "crazy attitude problem." Sometimes he's nice to people and most of the time he gets irritated easily and do and say bad things to people and hurt them emotionally. That's one thing I really want to change from him, however this person doesnt want to change. He knows he has a problem with his temper and he is totally aware of what's going on in his life. Its just that he cant help and change himself.

Anyways, I was too tired last night...came home at around 7 pm in the condo from work. I've been at work yesterday for almost 12 hours already and was too exhausted because of too many people coming in to the store. But, anyways...when I came home I texted this friend of mine and ask him how he was doing. He didnt tell me anything except that his place has problems with wiring and almost got caught of fire. I asked him if things are already okay. Then he told me that an electrician came to his place already and checked their wiring. We were just texting and texting...until he changed his mood again and told me that "I am nonsense!" After all the things I've been doing to help him with his problems and other stuff, he'll just say that I am nonsense and that I deserve to be alone. What a comment...did not expect that from him...well, sometimes he does that but this time it really affected me so much. Anyways, I stopped texting him at that moment but before I did, I texted him and told him that "Bahala ka na nga sa buhay mo. Sana di ka karmahin sa mga pinaggagawa mo!"

Despite of all the efforts I did for him...helping him out with a lot of things, he'll just tell me those words?! I think I don't deserve to be treated like that. Am I really a nonsense person? Not worthy of anyone's attention? I don't think I'm like that. I guess, I need to learn how to be strong and not to be so nice with people. I think I really need to learn that. In this kind of world we live in, its a must that we use different masks to different types of people so that you won't get hurt a lot. Haayyy...
