"Life's a Bitch. So am I."
"From fire I came, of fire I yearn,
Spark and flame and clearly burn.
To purge this beast who hunts for blood,
And from him shield what I have loved.
I am fire and she is me,
As I will, so mote it be."
~Jewel

"Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose." ~Tom Krause
My supervisor and close friend told me that I need to work on my "decision-making skills." As much as I want to disagree with that, I guess I have to admit that I'm really at a lost whenever I need to make a choice. I find it so difficult to come to a final decision. Sabi nga ng kaibigan ko, "Babae ka nga."
I am in a dilemma right now. I feel like I'm in a crossroad. My decision would determine a new chapter in my life as a career woman. Big Boss asked me if I'm ready to go in two weeks or I can wait for 3-4 weeks and have another chance in getting the job I really want. I had to make a choice on the spot. I decided to follow my heart and told him that I can wait.
Now let's see if I made the right choice.

The One with the First Anniversary
This day a year ago, I took the risk of letting someone into my life. Inspite of my fear of screwing things up and ending up at the losing end. I took the chance hoping that there will be no regrets. Now that I think about it, I'm so glad that I took that risk.
The past year has been a blast and I can't find the right words to express how grateful I am.

My friend, the Godess of Beauty, told me how one of the Cheerleaders (more like Cheercheaters to me) made herself look more stupid than she already is. Apparently, Cheercheater # 1 was on her know-it-all mode when she wrote her NTE (Notice to Explain). Kaya mo talaga i-detalye ang katangahan mo sa formal business letter eh. I know I am noy very knowledgeable with Yahoo Messenger, pero at least di ako pabibo tulad mo.
Well, you can read the rest of the story here. Being friends with the Goddess for 12 years, I have been a witness of how terrible it is to be the Goddess' enemy. From security guards, taxi drivers, fast food crews to our Chemistry teacher, and credit card companies...I'm telling you, I've seen it all.
One thing these Cheercheaters did not realize when they declared war against the Goddess is that they are but mere mortals that can easily be crushed by the Goddess effortlessly. They should have asked themselves first if they are smart enough to at least outsmart a creature of higher intelligence.
I really hate it when people gang up on my friends. Lalo na kung wala naman ginagawang masama sa kanila mga kaibigan ko. So for you miserable Cheercheater # 1, I dedicate this song.
You pretend youre high
You pretend youre bored
You pretend youre anything
Just to be adored
And what you need
Is what you get
Dont believe in fear
Dont believe in faith
Dont believe in anything
That you cant break
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
What drives you on what drives you on
Can drive you mad can drive you mad
A million lies to sell yourself
Is all you ever had
Dont believe in love
Dont believe in hate
Dont believe in anything
That you cant waste
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Cant believe you fake it
Cant believe you fake it
Dont believe in fear
Dont believe in pain
Dont believe in anyone
That you cant tame
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
All you had you wasted
All you had you wasted
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Cant believe you fake it
Cant believe you fake it
You stupid girl
You stupid girl
Cant believe you fake it
Cant believe you fake it
Stupid Girl by Garbage

The One without the Signature
"What does signature mean? Supposedly these are the added touches that make the crime personal to the killer." ~ Pat Brown
I submitted my IJAF for QA Analyst for the third time today, only to receive a confirmation that my application was not approved as it did not include my supervisor's signature on my annual appraisal.
I realized that it was so stupid of me to forget that important detail on my application for a job that requires someone who has a keen eye for details.
And I call myself an OC? So stupid. Oh crap!

The One with the Comfort Zone
"Part of the reason scientists stay in the comfort zone is that they can always say: well we dont know enough." ~ David Carlson
Today's Horoscope - AQUARIUS:
"It's time to let go of those things that you think you need to retain. How can your highest good come to pass if you're relentlessly clutching to old beliefs and ways of life that just don't suit you anymore."
Minsan na akong sapilitang na-psychoanalyze ni Bru base sa kinakain ko. Nung naka AM shift kasi ako, wala akong ibang kinakain sa buong shift kundi dalawang pirasong brownies. Sabi ng dalubhasang si Bru, ako daw yung tipo ng tao na takot umalis sa comfort zone ko. Ayon kay Bru, dahil masarap naman yung brownies at ok na ko kahit ito lang ang kinakain, hindi na ko magbabaon o bumili ng ibang pagkain. HIndi ako nagsasawa kasi naka-set na sa utak ko na ok na ko sa brownies araw-araw. In other words, ako daw yung tipong dahil feeling ko ay ok naman ako sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon ko e, hindi ko na naiisip na sumubok ng iba.
Naisip ko na maliban sa nagda-diet din talaga naman ako nung panahon na yon, eh tama rin siguro si Bru. Nung bago pa lang ako sa kompanyang pinapasukan ko, sabi ko magpaparegular lang ako para naman magandang tignan sa resume kahit papano. Nung umabot ako ng isang taon, sabi ko dalawang taon lang ang pinakamatagal na ilalagi ko dito. Ngayon, mahigit tatlong taon na akong nagtatrabaho sa kumpanyang ito.
Habang ang lahat ay busy sa paghahanap ng greener pastures, busy ako sa paghahanap sa mga kaibigan sa Friendster, Habang gumawawa ng IJAF (Internal Job Application Form) ang mga kasama ko, gumagawa naman ako ng blog. Nung una akong tinanong ng supervisor ko kung ano ba ang plano ko sa career ko, ngiti lang ang naisagot ko. Sa pangalawang beses, sabi ko pinag-iisipan ko rin namang mag-apply. Nung nagkaroon ng bakanteng posisyon sa trabahong pinapangarap ko sa industriya ng mga "Thank you for calling" people, natuwa ako, pero nagdalawang isip pa rin. Todo suporta naman ang supervisor ko kaya medyo nahiya na rin ako at nag-submit ng application. Pero nabigo ako, at nabigo ko siya...at yun ang mas kinalungkot ko. At ang isa sa mga ayoko, ay yung madisappoint ko ang mga taong naniniwala sakin. Nung nagkaroon ulet ng opening, sumubok akong muli. At nabigo ring muli. Mabuti na lamang at nakuha si Sunoy kaya ok na rin sakin.
Na-realize ko rin na, marami na akong mga kaibigan at kakilala na isa-isa nang bumubuo ng pamilya, o kaya ay nakapag-abroad, o kaya ay kumikita ng malaki at tuloy-tuloy ang promotion. Narinig ko dati si Bb. Jose, sabi nya "Yes, but are they happy?" Hahaha. Bitter Ocampo na naman ako. Hindi ko alam kung kelan ako makaka-alis sa comfort zone ko, o kung makakaalis pa ba ko. May plano ba ko sa buhay ko? Syempre meron. Kung ang bahay nga may plano, ako pa kaya? Darating rin ang moment ko.
