In My Own World

"Customer is always right."  -Yan ang sabi nila.  Eto naman ang sabi ko: Siguro may mga pagkakataon na tama naman sila, pero hindi palagi. Minsan hindi maiiwasan na may pagkakataon na nakakairita na sila without even trying. Hindi naman lahat ng customer ay nakakairita, pero hindi talaga matatapos ang isang araw ng bentahan na hindi ka naiinis. Yong tipo na yong blood pressure mo magiging 220/500. Ang O. A, pero totoo. 😅 It's part of my daily routine kaya may basis yong pinaghuhugutan ko.  So, based on my experiences, (dahil medyo may ilang taon na din tayo sa larangan) I list here various types of annoying customers in a sari-sari store: The Elite.  Yong bibili lang para magpa-barya. Halimbawa, bibili ng 4 pesos na kendi tapos ang ibabayad sa'yo 500 pesos. Kagigil. Suklian ko nga sya ng mga benteng niluma na ng panahon. 😏 The Professor.  Yong ipapa-enumerate sa'yo yong mga tinda niyo. Halimbawa, bibili ng softdrinks, gusto pang isa-isahin mo yong tinda niyong...

Originally posted on September 7, 2016 Today marks my 25th year of existence. I can still remember how I planned on celebrating my 25th birthday at Disneyland in Hong Kong. Unfortunately it's not yet destined to happen. Twenty-four years have passed. It was one great adventure. A lot of things have happened and there are still a lot yet to unfold. It was a roller coaster ride. There are downs and of course the ups. Where I am now is based on the result of my own choice. I chose to stay on the safe side. I chose comfort and convenience. I've been through one of the toughest times of my life in the last four years. I told myself a countless times that I'm already giving up, but it took me couple of years to finally stand up for my words. It was a tough decision to make. I became too fed up with countless frustrations and I am not a masochist who enjoys the agony of being hurt. I am not strong enough to endure every pain. I decided it's time for me to live in the moment wi...

Originally posted on August 16, 2016 I am not wishing that I hadn't known you cause I know it's an impossible thing to happen. I just wish I can control my feeling for you while it's still growing. It's been what? 18 years? I unfriend you on Facebook few years back. Did you notice it? Guess you didn't. But behind that "unfriend-ing" I am secretly hoping that one of these days you'll notice it and you're gonna send me a friend request. Silly me to think that you care and you'll actually do that. If there's one thing that I appreciate from you, it's the fact that you didn't give me even the tiniest chance that you like me back. Hindi ka pa-hopia. Kudos to that. I know you had a crush with my elementary bestfriend, with my cousin, with anyone but me. I am totally out of your league. Lagi mo na lang akong dine-deadma, ang sabi nga sa kanta. Hindi mo ako pinapansin kahit nagkakasalubong tayo. Considering the fact that we were classmates ...

Originally posted on July 1, 2016 This time I will be giving you variety of my Top 5. These are just few of my favorites that I want to share. Some random things about me. Five things I want to know/learn: Speaking in a huge group of people. Don't tell this to anyone secret lang natin 'to ha. Ambisyon ko kasi talaga mag-host sa isang event, mga convention, conference, general assembly, mga ganorn.🤭😅 I want to learn how to speak and write fluently and flawlessly in English. Kasi nga diba? (kindly go back to number one)  How to drive. Gusto ko kasi magkaroon ng driver's license.  How to sleep early. How to draw and have a good handwriting.  Five favorite TV characters: Spencer Hastings from Pretty Little Liars (played by Troian Bellisario). Kasi ang talino niya. Ang bilis niya mag-isip. Ang likot ng utak niya tapos ang ganda pa niya. Phoebe Buffay of FRIENDS (played by Lisa Kudrow). Nakakaaliw yong character niya. She's so funny without even trying. Rachel Green from FR...

Hello, mga Dabarkads. Dabarkads daw eh. Lam Na. 😄 Yes. Dabarkads ako since forever. Medyo nalihis lang ng landas ng beri layt pero nagbalik-loob naman ulit. Pero hindi naman yan ang topic natin; maybe some other time. Kapag tama na ang panahon. So....what brought me back? If this isn't your first time reading my blog you probably read my " Farewell " blog that I wrote on 2015. But I wrote two more blogs after that. I left this blog and created new one, actually two. The other was C'est LA Vie (but I deleted already). After ilang posts iniwan ko din sya eventually kasi walang kwenta yong mga posts ko, mas walang kwenta pa kesa dito. LOL. Then I created another one which I named Little Secret Rendezvous. Ayon naman medyo formal yong mga posts ko. Nagpaka-trying hard ako don. Wala ata akong tagalog na pinost don. Out of 10 (???)published posts yong unang tatlo lang ata yong galing talaga sa utak ko. Yong iba music video nong favorite songs ko tapos lalagyan ko lang ng l...
