Anecdotal Record 
March 1, 2018

While crossing the main road:
Him: “You are nicer than I expected.”
Me: “What does that mean?”
Him: “You speak perfect English, you are cute. You are just nice.”

I don’t really know how to react on this one while I walk my way to work as we parted ways in front of that bookstore. Should I be offended? Flattered? Or annoyed? I had always gotten that impression that “…you speak English so well.” And a lot of times I would say, “Oh, I always get that.” then, just shrug it off.

************
That day would probably be the last one for the meantime and I mean it. Unless otherwise, that same person comes back and asks me again for a date, which has a very, very, very low chance of happening, 0.2%. (I just invented this value.)

I want to write an academic paper or many academic papers that is/are worth-publishing, so I have to devote most of my days and time and my energy to it. I have been able to strike a good balance in life until that day I decided to go on that date and it just made me realize a few things about my priorities and my choices. To be honest, he is the most handsome guy I have ever met on top of being so smart, and he wont be able to read this and he hasn’t sent me any message and won’t probably be sending me any more in the future, that’s why I am writing this here.

With the good laptop already on hand (no more excuses on slow and hanging softwares, unlicensed installations and incompatible plugins), tools installed and chill out study place identified, good and practical timetable (as goals established for the first half of the year already), my only enemy is myself from this point on.

My first paper for this semester is due on Sunday and instead of proofreading it, I am writing this.
Poof! Gotta go to bed now coz tomorrow work starts at 10am and I need to get that 30-minute work out done and that 100yen coffee at McDo to jumpstart my long Saturday and the would-be even longer Sunday.

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
