What Work?!

What a tough day at the office!

When projects keep screwing up and clients are non-stop sending their emails, crying like babies and not to mention some colleagues acting likes babies too. You just wish to see the clock reached 5:30am (I work at night) then just leave it all out and immediately run away from your office desk. But, despite all that, I have no choice but to suck it up, try to turn it all around and fix it. Obviously, because of one good reason – PAYCHECK! :)

And we will know that there will always be hurricane days at the office, some situations that can’t be controlled and people you wish you could just turn their heads to bowling bowls and hit the pins as hard as you can. Then, to satisfy your urge to say – STRIKE! . But, you know what? There is always something you can control…and that is our behavior towards these crazy things. For me, instead of getting really serious about it, I just took some time to relax, find humor and appreciate simple pleasures.

Here they are:

1) One of my colleagues cooked our meal for lunch. She cooked “Sinigang”. Normally, this recipe is cooked with pork. Gladly, she’s aware that I don’t eat pork anymore; so she cooked it with chicken. Honestly, I felt good when she admitted that she replaced it with chicken because she knows I don’t eat pork. I’m not being kiss-ass but it was really delicious! (2 and ½ cups of rice baby!)

2) As I arrived at the office, my annoying and partly evil manager just came from his recent trip in U.S. of A. He’d done a surprisingly nice gesture to us. He left us a bar of chocolate (Hershey’s) on top of our tables. Honestly, I appreciate it but somehow still don’t like him as a manager. Lol

3) While working on emails and projects, somehow I was still able to listen with my lady colleagues’ daily session of roasting our manager. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t hate our manager (or, at least me) but more like typical complains of manager-subordinate relationship. Especially, if you are not happy with their management skills or something to complain about. Typical stuffs! (I guess, one of the perks of not being on top)

4) Enjoyed free hot Choco at our company’s vending machine and hot mint tea from my colleague. Priceless!

5) Finally, one of my colleagues just got her first salary. Which we call it here as the “First Blood”. This means, she is obliged (not really) to treat us. Fortunately, she did. We went out and she bought us some fancy teas (if that’s what you call them) . I do wish this “First Blood” thing becomes a tradition. That will be grand! Lol

In addition to things I’ve said above, there is one thing that made me enjoy my day more. While we were at the tea house, we saw a “Post It” wall. We checked it out and looked for some messages. We sort of edit some of these posts to make it funnier and obviously with the intention to laugh around. And, of course! For the benefit of next readers. Lol! I know it was really crazy and inappropriate but do you think we care that time especially when we were having fun?

And if you think that’s all, you are wrong. I’ve noticed that there are good wall photos hanging at the tea house. Fortunately or unfortunately (it defends how you see it), my imagination and craziness struck me. I decided to make fun and create a quick video. Here it is and enjoy :)

Rekindle (Part 2)

Pardon my absence but I will honestly admit that I lose my interest in blogging; mainly for 1 reason only. That is PROCRASTINATION.

 

I feel that since WP is now blocked in our new office, I have no way to blog again whenever I’m free of things to do and check it as much as I like to if ever I wanted something to be posted. Having said that, I know that even though the site is already blocked, I can still do it at home or even in my phone. And that is when I found out that my main reason why I lose my interest in writing my thoughts is procrastination.

 

And because of what happened recently in my life that resulted to significantly change me as a person, I decided to open my word app and start writing again. I realized that writing my thoughts helps me go back to certain events that happened to me and see what I have gained in terms of lessons and wisdom. It also helps me to recall the things I shouldn’t have done in a particular situation. It gives me a chance to go back a day, a week, or even a moment in my life to look back and what I can do better next time if ever I will be in the same situation again. Comparing the time when I was still writing and stopped writing, I felt that I was more disciplined person back then; when I was still writing than I am now (when I stopped).

 

So, having this realization urge to write and post something again. I guess the purpose of writing a blog for me is not more on sharing my thoughts over the internet and let the world of strangers see it but specifically helping me to define what type of person I am and what type of person I want to be.

 

I never really owned an actual diary before. Even the idea of having a diary as a guy somehow gives me an icky feeling of being gay (no offense). But this site, my blog, somehow gives me that purpose of having my thoughts and experiences saved or captured that it will give me a chance to look back and enjoy. I guess this might also gives you an impression of how deep person I am rather than the usual dose of my fond to humor; but don’t be misled by this post because I know to myself that I am also a shallow guy with simple pleasures in life.

 

This is it for now.

87

“87”

That is the running total of my Overtime for this month of December and the month isn’t over yet. The nos. may be normal for you or probably not significant or even none sensical at all. But for me,haha! It’s different. I believe this is the highest overtime I rendered in my working life so far in my current employer.

Now, if you wonder what are the things you could do or witness for in 87 hours. Here are some…

For 87 hours, you could probably finish all episode for all seasons of How I Met Your Mother and squeeze in some series with high possibility you’ll finish the whole seasons too. Or, could watch more than 40 movies.

For 87 hours, you could cross the Brooklyn Bridge for 43 times back and forth (By foot).

For 87 hours, a Worker Bee has already completed half of his life cycle.

(Ain’t this funny?! Imagine, bees are already synonymous with the word “work” or “busy” and for some funny reason the scientist has decided to add the word “Worker” in front of its already busy name just to show that there is a bee who works harder than other busy bees. Proves to me that even bees can be lazy!!!Lol)

Enough with the example! Knowing about the “Worker Bee” and “Working Me” somehow gave me the impression that we have something is common and end up about that life span thing. Lol

I’m pretty sure you get my point and clearly this means that my social is really going to South. Am I sad? Of course not! Last time I’ve checked, I still have 300+ friends in Facebook. If you are worried, oh please! Don’t be; because I’m confident that I still have skills in breaking some ice in the crowd and building some bridges with them… it just that…I rarely use this so-called “skills”. Lol

 

Anyways, after I ran my total OT for this month, I just decided to go home early and not to spend another hour of overtime for today. Having that thought in my head…I felt shame. Yes! Shame on me for working my ass out and dedicating 87 hours of my breathing life to work that I have no idea when the increase will be added in my payslip; not to mention the chaos that other people made which main reason I why we need to spend longer hours (I just hope it will be prorated); shame for giving 87 hours of my breathing life and passing out Worker Bee’s half of its lifetime; shame on government (Tax) for taking part of hard earned money and having a thought of corrupt govt. officials will just give it to their hoes! We should be taxed only by things we buy not the things we earned!!! 20 freaking percent and where is it?!

Wow! This post should be funny but I starting to feel the hate. Lol

 

So before this post goes barbaric, I just want to say that despite of 87 hours of overtime, I still feel blessed and thankful. Why? Well, here are the reasons:

1. Overtime is Overtime. So, my employer is legally obliged to pay me and we all know that rates for overtime are quite different than regular us (way better, at least in my company).

2. I always believe in the thought of “Meritocracy”. People will be rewarded for working hard and doing more than what they were expected to do.

3. I’m just kidding about the pathetic social life; I still do have friends that I could really count on. I will be on vacation next month and on March. Finally!!!

4. I’m very close to my goal. Hopefully, this coming year. (Crossing my fingers…including toes) Lol

5. Finally, I still have millions things I could think of, to be happy and thankful for. (I still feel bad about “Worker Bee” though. Really?! That short?)

 

Once again, I will just end this post by saying have a good life and always appreciate it even if you’re preoccupied.

 

HAPPPPPYYY NNNEEWWW… (to be continued)

What An Amazing Feeling!

You can call me shallow for what I have posted today. But seriously, I couldn’t care less if say that (Lol). I wanted to share something that made me felt really (3x) good last week and late last week. These two things were guaranteed will be part of my memory for the rest of my life. I might not sure about the first one for how long but the second one will be definitely engraved in my heart.

~ FIRST ~

First, as you know, I am playing for volleyball team in our company’s sport fest. Last week, we had a very exciting and breath-taking match. We played with another team that has never been beaten and for sure will go and compete to finals. It was us who will need to prove that we can get the spot and grab the championship and if we lost this game, we are just playing for 3rd place. So, as the game started we lost the first set (maybe because I was not playing…yet ;P). And then, going on the 2nd set, I was asked to go in and play. And boy! I really said to myself that we need to win this match in order to get to finals. I tried my best to save the ball even though it was already expected to be a point for the other team. I slide, dive and even a motivator just to make sure that we can win.
And let me tell you that, the game was so intense! We took and won the 2nd set like a landslide 25 -10. That was the score (Ehem). Evidently, people were cheering and since we won the second set, all the crowd started to be excited, they started to shout, cheer, jump and doing some sort of crazy stuffs because of excitement on the game. I felt good because someone even called me “Lucky Charm”. Lol

How cool is that? To be called like that? Believe me; it felt really good.

During the first half of the 3rd set, unfortunately the other team was leading by 4 points and expectedly decided to take our time out to assess the game and boost our confidence. After the time out, there you go! We started to closed the gap and lead the score by one. As steady as possible, the last serve was from our team. And I couldn’t imagine more what my teammate felt when he was serving the game point. With a little luck, the serve got in and made the game point.

WE @#!$%^& WON THE GAME!

“The crowd goes loud” – as what they say. Everyone was jumping, shouting, clapping and smiling. We freaking won the game and head to finals with a team that we thought we could never beat. I know! You call me shallow, but I jumped and shout my heart out that we won that game. If I could share what I really felt to you I will. In a grand scale, it was really freaking AMAZING!

I watched every one of them, they look very happy, they hugged each other and I just looked and observed them. For some reason, it gave me the visual representation of what it looks like to be freaking happy. Anyways, that’s the end of the first one.

~ SECOND ~

Now, here is the 2nd one, the first one gave me an amazing feeling about a certain moment. But this one gave me a moment that I will enjoy recalling every day in my entire existence. A kid named with my most favorite name in the world and I guess the most beautiful name I could ever imagine given to anyone, gave me a personalized card.

Awwww, I know! How sweet was that?

Anyways, this post is obviously quite getting long now and I’m starting to get lazy typing. So, I’m just going to make a short story on how I received the card or what happened. Here’s what happened…Enjoy!

. . .

Once a upon a time in a far far away land, a small princess named with the most beautiful name that can be given to anyone – Chloe, got mad at her painter because she thought the painter did not do a very good job painting her portrait. So, the princess started to get really disappointed and mad. And because of her anger, she said a lot of things, bad things and started to cry.

Even though the painter heard all what the princess have had said, he remains understandable (Lol) and tried everything to please her princess but despite all the efforts, the princess still felt hurt, disappointed and sad. The painter started to get worried and sad as well, he kept doing things to please her princess which did not change anything and ironically got the princess even more angry.

And, because of the important task assigned to the painter, the painter needs to leave. The princess started to get lonely knowing that her painter will leave and might not be coming back. The princess, started to miss her painter and felt bad for saying all of the bad things because of her angst.

And then, the painter came back to the palace. Upon arriving, the painter received a very special gift from the princess. It was a beautiful card that the princess made only for him. The painter, did not understand any word written on it but he knew it was for saying I’m sorry and saying that the princess loves her. The painter saw the princess the same day and with a sweet and magical moment…

The princess hugged and kissed her painter.

And they lived happily ever after.

. . .

I hope you like the short story. (Lol) I wanted to go on details but its quite long. So, just bare with it and my story telling skills because that’s what I all I have (Lol). Anyways, the point of my story was…I received a personalized card from a kid; I was hugged and kissed by a very sweet kid. Couldn’t get any better eh?. Lol

P.S.

I wish I could show you the card given to me but unfortunately the scanner is still not working. I could share what was written and a little description on what it looks like though. So, here…(word-for-word)

A little description of the card: She drew my face (What should I expect?She’s still a kid. Lol), She drew some butterflies, she put some ribbons, hearts and some stuffs I could not really figure out. (Lol)

Daer:TiToJoben

im’sorry to i do toyouokay’

Daer, TiToJoben___________________
I love you, TiTo Joben

Have a great day and enjoy life!

Some Good Advise!

Okay, as one famous line says –

The More The Merrier!

This is my 2nd posts of the day. You’re all welcome! Lol

…

And in a nonsensical relation to my intro here is another very good advice –

Never Shop For Groceries When You Are Hungry!

 

Well, I have a different one but I think same thought. Here –

If you only had few hours of sleep, don’t ever go to sheets and pillows sections!

 

And that, my friends, is a very good advice to all of you who always had problems with their sleeps.

Few weeks back, I visited a friend of mine who just arrived from her flight and stayed in a very nice hotel (Diamond Hotel). Powered by caffeine and probably few hours of sleep under my belt, I still managed to find sometime to meet her (them) there.

We have a very nice time, saying his’ and hellos’ to each other. During the conversation, I raise a topic how wonderful the bed sheets are. I told them –

I also want this one. I want to sleep with this kind of sheets”

Funny enough and with envious feeling…I slowly caress the sheets and feel every thread of it. With only thoughts of how many thread count this sheet has – Maybe 600? Maybe 800? Or, even more? I was envious (period)

It was 9pm and I told them that I had to go out and be at work at 11pm. Luckily, I only have half day shift that day and promised them that I’ll be back at 2am. As my shift ends, I head straight back to hotel and as expected they were all already sleeping. Every nice spots were already occupied and this friend of mine told me that I can sleep beside her but on the carpet just close to her. Lol

However, I refused, I told her that I can sleep near her parents which also sleeping on the carpet because the bed was already occupied with her cute nieces. Unfortunately, she insisted and evidently I can’t argue more. I just decided to sit beside her…on the carpet. Unfortunately again, I’m nocturnal…I can’t sleep, as long as I know its still evening; I will, for sure will have problem sleeping. So, the good thing was I brought my book with me that day (The Extraordinary Education of N.B.) – Sigh! This is quite long so I’ll skip the details…the next day… I had a chance to feel the sheets again before I left and head home.

The bus pit stop was exactly at the mall parking lot and we (passengers) have no way to avoid going inside the mall. And, here is where my very good advice comes in. I end up walking inside the mall, specifically bed sheets and pillows section. My head is loaded with the idea of me sleeping in a very soft, scented and comfortable sheets – I was hooked.

Quickly, I roamed around and asked several promotion ladies if they have discounts or good deals. Since, I have an idea how to buy sheets, I was aimed to get and buy new sheets and pillow cases with a very high or reasonable thread counts. Finally, I bought plain white sheets (800 thread counts) and a pair of pillow cases (500 thread counts / each). I rushed out the mall, headed straight to my apartment, opened the sheets and pillow cases, put the sheets on my bed…and boom! I was at peace!

A very much happy and satisfied sleeping me!

 

But, quite frankly, the only reason I both those sheets and pillow case was because, I was powered by envious of these freaking hotel sheets and deprived of good hours of sleep which was fine because as you obviously see…I was happy. Lol

 

Anyways, once again, have a good and enjoy life.

Who’s Driving?!

Last weekend, a very close friend of mine asked me to accompany and spend weekend together. I don’t have usually plans during weekends so I just agreed and decided to meet her. As usual, the plan is to meet around 1pm but the thing about her is that when she said 1pm she meant 12pm – an hour earlier than expected.

So, I’ve arrived 1pm and again she arrived earlier than expected which really nice and impressive of her. We had our lunch first before we figure out where to go and what to do. After our lunch we agreed to skip movie or spa. I suggested let’s try to visit the near by amusement park (Enchanted Kingdom) which quite far from where we were that time. And, we mutually decided to go and visit her sister in Rizal which is really farther compared to amusement park. That day, she brought a car, which I can’t drive because I have an expired license. So, I let her drive and here’s where the interesting part happened. I haven’t seen her drives an automatic car before. Or, better yet, I haven’t been with her driving in long distance driving. Yes! I was apprehensive but one impressive side was – I think she looks very hot or sexier seeing her drives a car. *wink*

 

Unfortunately, these are things I’ve noticed with her driving skills:

 

1. While leaving the parking lot and about to pay our parking fee to the parking lady, her window was like a meter away from the booth hence the lady needed to pull out half of her body from her booth just to reach the ticket and get the payment. Lol

2. Swerving! It was at stop sign and she discussed whether to take left or straight. She decided to turn left. We were in the second lane and while on green! Luckily, traffic officers were eating…I guess. Sigh.

3. While on the road, she decided she wants to eat order food at drive-thru . So, we saw McDonald’s and we decided to get in there. What happened was we passed few meters away from the entrance and end up reversing. Sigh.

4. Bumpy roads! I wanted to tell her the car is Sedan and a not Pick-Up truck. I just told look ahead and notice if there are bumps ahead. (We were laughing the whole time when I told her this – maybe because of the several bumps we experienced) Lol

5. Red light means S.T.O.P.! We were in some part of the city (Pasig City) where traffic rules are really strict. I know that everywhere has traffic rules but not everyone really abide them or into the extent of being strictly implemented. So, going back, I told her that it’s a STOP sign yet she still move forward and there! Just in the corner, a traffic enforcer. To make this part short, she was given a warning because of her ID. Perks of working there and sorry it’s too confidential to share. Tsk!

6. Intersections! Whenever we’re about to enter intersections it was like I’m being put in a situation where my whole body will be thrown off the cliff. It was crazy!

7. Promises! She always tells that she will not hurry anymore but we always end up hitting bumpy roads and probably tear and wear out her shock absorbers. Sigh.

8. Finally, just time to hit the gasoline station, just when about to park beside refilling station, we hit the gutter and thought we hit the side of car but the gasoline boy confirmed that it was just our tires which gave us both reliefs.

 
Okay, to finally answer the question in the title. Aside from being a very close friend, she happens to be my ex-girlfriend. How does it work between us? Still going out and considering so-called-best-friends? We also don’t know as well…but it works so I don’t need to explain anymore. As for my personal opinion about her driving skills, and maybe I was a bit exaggerating on my observations above or maybe I’m not. But, to be fair, she can drive from Point A to Point B and that I can give her.

Anyways, right after so-called road trip it gave me a funny thought that maybe, just maybe – she was trying to kill me. In addition, I don’t usually fasten my seat belt whenever I take the shotgun but after experiencing no. 2…I am very much convinced that I have to. Lol

All in all we really had a great time together, we were laughing the whole time, we had a relaxing moment when with her sister and sister’s husband. I also had a nice time playing with her three adorable nieces. As much as I wanted or we wanted to look us each other; I decided to look at the road while she drives.

BTW, just to let you know, I am still ALIVE;. This is not me being a ghost or fulfilling one of my last will. I wrote this post just to share because I think it was funny or fun and fortunately she will never know or see. Lol

I’ll try to post some more once my current dilemma at work has subsided. Unfortunately, I’m still preoccupied with these resignations and stuffs on-going. And, Yes! Don’t worry I’ll find time to renew my driver’s license so she don’t need to drive anymore. Sigh.
 
So, that’s if for now. Have a wonderful day and have a safe driving.

Late Ramdom Updates!

Obviously, I will not allow leaving a month of May with just 1 post. I’ve been busy lately and primarily due to work. Today, I just decided to do a quick escape and write some updates about my experiences whether they are previous or current status. Although, I must say that my past few days/weeks have been quite a roller-coaster ride.

 

NOT SO GOOD UPDATES:
 

1. Due to workloads, I have lesser and lesser time to read some posts here in WP.

2. At this moment, I’m still in isolation mode with one of my colleague. A colleague who happens to be my superior (indirectly). Why? (Very good question indeed) I just “accidentally” called her fat or somehow unintentionally mentioned something that tend to lead to that harsh word. I know, I know! So, before you raise your eyebrows, I meant it in a teasing or funny way (It was funny until someone gets hurt – Cliche). Also, I sincerely apologized after that. To be honest, up until to this point I seriously still feel bad about it. There were bad jokes I made in my life and definitely this was one of them. But, no worries because I’m still optimistic that we will get alone (crossing fingers). Lol

3. Two of my colleagues recently resigned and we (who are still here) are handling what they left behind…and those are unfinished tasks and workloads. I must admit that I’m a bit frustrated or maybe just disappointed. But, again, don’t worry because I will get by.

4. Late last week, my laptop went R.I.P. and unfortunately I have to get new one. Getting a new laptop was seriously not in my budget. You might ask what has been compromised. Well, nothing much really, just my plan to visit a near-by-country this year, this plan “might” go on R.I.P. as well ( I hope for this year only) Sigh!

5. Late last week again, I planned to sleep for 9 – 11 hours but it end up just 6 hours. And the reason behind that was because of my neighbor playing a loud bass with his huge speakers. And the worst part was, he played the same song for hours (Literally and I am serious about this!). And even worst part was, I don’t even understand the song. Click here for the link of the song. (I can’t blame them because they celebrated their “Fiesta De Mayo”)

6. I might gave my manager an idea how much is my salary. (Grrrr!!!!)

7. As you all know, I’m nearing my 28th and I’m still confused and undecided what life insurance to get!

8. I felt that I was quite uninspired writing something lately. (Maybe because of my workloads)

 

QUITE SO GOOD UPDATES:

 

9. I got my increase. Enough said.

10. I have a new laptop.

11. Portfolio is gradually increasing. Very slow but at least its growing.

12. Very close to convincing myself to enroll on something. (Details are too private to share)

13. I was asked by manager regarding my career path; He asked me if I wanted to apply for a higher position. But, I said not within my team. (Not sure why this is in good updates. Lol)

14. If you are still reading this and wants to read the remaining updates…you made just me glad then. Lol

15. Hmm, I’m nearing to my 1 year anniversary in blogging (for the first time). I know! Ahh maahh zzzinng!

16. Close to ending the scorching summer season! Hello Rainy Day!

17. Love seeing the sunshine! Lol ( Just want to share this so you could appreciate it as well)

 

That’s it! This is enough for now. As I’ve said, I need to finish a lot of things today. Somebody need to pay their bills baby! Lol

 

So, have a good day and as always…enjoy life!

Humor Me Discovery Channel! Humor Me!!!

I’m always a fan of Discovery Channel. How they show the world in a four-colored-wall and making it very realistic to us. Oh Discovery! You’re just simply amazing!

However…

With that praised and being a fan, I still have some key points I want to discuss though. Like how confusing some of the description you spoiled out? How you lure us to see the world and encourage us to experience building connection with these friendly and deadly creatures.

Oohh! How amazing to feel the snakes coiling in your neck minus the killing part of course! How warm to cuddle a hairy lion, tiger or a bear in their natural habitat. How to enjoy the actual feeling of swimming with sharks under the deep blue sea? How can’t that be more encouraging with all these gentle scenes in our television? How?!

 

Here are some of the things I’ve seen today that made me grinned, laughed and sometimes wonder if they really saying this:

 

1. Indian Red Scorpion

You said – “Their last resort is to use the venom and aloof unless provoke”. Lol! Aloof alright! As far as I know, if a scorpion sees/encountered an unusual creature regardless the intention especially bigger than its size…I’m pretty sure they will use their venom right away. No questions asked! Lol. Last resort, Last resort my ass! Lol

2. Sloth Bear

You said – “They don’t eat human flesh just termites. It can consume an entire colony or 10, 000 termites to be exact”. Hmmm? Very funny Discovery! How’d you figured out that it is 10,000 termites? Did you count it while they eat?

You also said – “They weigh more than 150 pounds but still can move faster and chase a human” – Well, Discovery…Thank you very much for a false tip. If, in case, I experience seeing one; I will not run anymore because I know I will not be able to outrun this so-called “cute and cuddly bear”. I’ll just let it “cuddle” me and tear my body apart. Lol

3. Elephants

You said – “They are one of the powerful and heaviest 5-ton animals in the kingdom. Although, not a prey they can still be deadly. And, despite the size it has the ability to be unnoticeable with its surrounding (forest) and attack a human.”

Okay! Let me get this straight, it’s powerful, heavy, deadly, “very” big and still can hide? How is that even possible? And, how can that be anymore terrifying? For all you know, there’s already an elephant behind you and you still don’t have any idea it’s there?! Oh! Hey Dumbo! Lol

4. Penguins

You “should” say – “They are notoriously known for being armed with their super-killer cuteness.” Lol (thought would be funny but additional fact as well)

 

Hmmm, I know the channel is still amazing and will be there like…forever! I just thought it would be funny to put a little humor between these so-called facts about the wild.

 

SO, that’s it and enjoy life and Raaawwwrrr!

Price or Prize of Being A Gentleman

Last week, after my shift, I was obliged to visit a friend somewhere in Makati (financial district of Philippines) and I must say that I’m simply glad that I don’t work there. The rush of people, usual traffics (legged and wheeled), too expensive price of candies, food, smog? and top-up credits. Ok, I’ll stop complaining the obvious.

 

This post is not meant for complains but merely for my personal observation only. I decided to go there in the morning. The rush of people is around 7-9 AM and falling in line is common at that place. Particularly, when you need to use the public transportation. I decided to use MRT (Metropolitan Rail Transit) for faster travel. But getting tickets you must either use the stairs or use the elevator. So, I decided to use the elevator because I realized I’m too exhausted to climb the 2-3 storey stairs. So, before you raise your left/right eye brow and tell me that I’m too lazy or lame for using the elevator; you have to know that I just went off my shift, travelled at least 30-45 minutes (which supposedly should only take 15 minutes) with several stops to get there and not having my breakfast yet. So, blame me for not using the stairs and let fat people use the elevators.

 
Sigh! Are we done? Lol
 

Going back to my story, I head straight to elevator and again, another line; so I fall in line. As we wait in line for the elevator’s door to open, I saw a guy waiting and just ahead of me probably 6-7 persons ahead. He was very close (but not in front) to the door of elevator. As soon as the door comes open, “as a gentleman” he let the 2 ladies behind him stepped in first. Which is good right? But, he intentionally skips the third and fourth ladies. Then, I started to wonder…why? What the?!

 

It’s obvious that he can still let the 2 ladies in but why he’d skipped and instead stepped inside? And believe me it’s not about the space inside for him to worry about. Then, I’d finally noticed, these guy is a “false gentleman”…why? Because the first 2 ladies are obviously eye candies and I bet that was his real reason he did that, just to impress/hit them (or only one of them). I’m also sure that this guy doesn’t know the first 2 ladies and I will definitely give my whole salary to prove that this guy is just show-off to these first 2 ladies. I don’t know why I decided to write about this? Maybe because it was a frustrating, funny and stupid to see this guy being a “gentleman” with conditions like that.

 

I guess it is really human nature to make things uneven/imbalanced especially in law of attraction. We all know that being a “genetically” or “scientifically” gorgeous Homo sapiens will have advantages in society we live in and how we play the game. But, in situation like this, I sincerely pity the 2 ladies who were not too catchy to the eye of our false gentleman.

 

So, with yours truly, I let them first. Why? Because they were already ahead of me; so basically I have no choice but to let them stepped in first. Lol

 

And, here is really something funny I let the lady who was at my back to get in first and soon as I stepped in…the elevator message lit up and displayed a message “Full”.What the?!

 

I just chuckled and stepped out of the door and looked at everyone inside with a smile as the door closes. It was really an awkward moment for me but very interesting observation as well. I know sometimes the price/prize of being a gentleman have its ups and downs…sadly for me, I got the down one which honestly I don’t mind or complain about. I still managed to get on time because lucky enough…my friend was late. Lol

 

Anyways, just sharing funny observation that some part of our society/nature tend to change/take advantage of these gestures.

 
**Disclaimer..again** (Remind me to remove this in my future posts)

I got confused with the title (PRIZE/PRICE) because both words I believed were appropriate to what I want to say. But, your forgiveness and understanding is a MUST if you still want to continue reading my future posts. Lol

 

Enjoy life and find happiness!

Bragging Rights!

Today, I formally completed the book 3 of the novel that was responsible for keeping me preoccupied these past few days or months. And yes! I felt good after completing the story; finding out what happened to all the characters, tremendous used of imagination and so on. After completing the book, here’s what I did..and said –

I threw the book straight up to my ceiling and shout “Yes! F*** I’m done!

I do apologize for my reaction but I was just so glad and partly happy I’m done. I will never read a novel again! Lol – Of course, you know I was just kidding right?

Although the story didn’t go to what I expected but still it gave me a sense of satisfaction. You might say I am exaggerating which I believe I am and you can’t blame me. Why? ( Oh thank you for asking ) because for the first time I have completed a novel that doesn’t require me to read because of grades or salary rather just plain interest to know what will happen in the end.

Honestly, I can say that I am not really a reader especially these types (novels). Although, I read books but not the story types; I am more likely reading instructional, inspirational, investing, business and computer stuffs but never like this. I must say, I felt fulfilled and partly impressed to myself. Lol

Anyways, nothing to much add and say today because of the reports I have to complete and ever since I changed my apartment I am able to sing while taking shower and boy! It was fun. Lol

Hmmmm?, I don’t even know where this post is heading, so before it goes further and goes green-minded, I want to say…

Read something…Anything.

 

P.S.

Here are the books that I have read and my verdict….it sucks! Lol If you want to know why… Google it or ask in the comment Lol
