Today is a happy occasion for both Senator Mar and broadcaster Korina. It is their wedding day. It was supposed to be really grand in line with Mar’s Presidential bid but then political event stepped in and Mar is now a VP candidate running alongside Sen. Noy Aquino. With this in mind, I do hope that their marriage lasts for a long time and that they have found a partner with each other which is quite hard nowadays. Please see the story I wrote about it in ManilaInformer.com
My friend is about to break up with her partner and it saddens me therefore I made the title as it is. I hope they get things settled. So my question, to love or not to love at all? This is confusing. But I guess there are happy endings as well as there are sad ones.
Ta ta for now!
XOXO

Just recently a very good friend of mine gave me a very great and wonderful surprise…She gave me my very first camera, SLR old school using film. It is a Nikon F75. I love the old school feel of it. The way it just begs for a film to be inserted into its body for me to start shooting. I can’t wait to practice out with Z my most favorite model. Here are a few random pictures of Raffy from my trusty old camera phone.

Hello dear readers, I am sure that you have missed me… I am sorry to have not been able to update recently here because I have been quite busy with new things. As of March 31st of this year my job as executive consultant ended and the 2 weeks before it did I already had an inkling that I was coming to my end in that industry. I wasn’t really looking around but a friend texted me that he needed Operations Managers and Team Leaders for his australian telco account and so I replied that I was interested. He asked for my resume and so I sent it to him via email. After 2 days, I got a text message saying that I was scheduled for an exam and interview on the Monday of the last week of March. Eagerly I took the day off and went to the venue of the interview and exam. I haven’t been through job processes as of late because I normally just go at them one at a time. So, I got there just in the nick of time and then began the process. They started first with an IQ exam. Gosh, I was thinking to myself that what if I didn’t pass. It would be so bad of me. I haven’t taken an IQ exam since like 2-3 years ago. Well, I did pass it after 30 minutes of slaving over the answers to that exam. Then came an English exam wherein you had to continue the phrase to make it into a passable sentence and the one phrase that struck out was “ Your sex life is ___________________”. Talk about funny phrases. I laughingly finished the whole test and was asked to wait for the interview. I got interviewed after like 3 hours or so. Me and some other girl were the last to be interviewed. As I got ready for my turn, my hands were sweating cold buckets…I was kind of scared and excited about the interview. Normally though I do well on interviews but still I could not get over my fear and anticipation of them especially if the one interviewing you is a complete stranger. My interviewer was a guy who had spectacles on and the funniest part of it all is the fact that I was wearing shades because my eye was swelling because of an insect bite. I had to keep myself from laughing as I was explaining to him why I could not take my glasses of because I was worried that he might be distracted by my swollen eye. I breezed through it and was asked to wait for a text from them the very next week. Monday came and they invited me the next day for the final interview at one of their offices and I got interviewed by an operations manager and then after we finished the interview an HR associate was asked to “take good care of me”. After that I was led to an office where I was asked to complete my requirements and therein I got the job. I haven’t started yet but I am excited for a new change once again.

In the course of my everyday commute I always have lots of time to think, to ponder and to look back on things and people who have crossed my life. Today was not different.
Most would say that people do come into your life for a reason whether they may be good or bad and that the only thing that you can hope for is that they have taught you something that you could use to better yourself. In the past 2 years I have been through a lot of very upsetting and happy moments and those moments have been milestones of a sort. They have pointed me now to what direction I should take, made me realize who my real friends were, taught me that I was stronger than I ever thought possible and made me aware of what I am very capable of. These things I did not really realize before I turned that bend. In the past year, I have been through gossip that really shocked and angered me. People who do not really know me, had the gall to analyze my actions and to pass judgment before getting to the core of the truth mostly because they just wanted the intriguing talks and not really the truth of the matter, why? Because controversy for some reason sells more than the truth and I’m sure that most of you would agree. So I just let these people continue with what they were doing because at that point in time, I couldn’t really care more about what they thought. What was important is that I had my family, friends and Z. Little by little though justice in the guise of karma came to these people who attacked me and I could just smile and say “yeah, they had it coming”.
Does karma really come? I would say yes, basing on the way my story has turned out. It does come to bad people. I have always believed that what you throw out in the world comes back to you a lot of times over. Do bad people really get punished? I would say that they do get punished although sometimes there is this waiting period and justice seems to be a long way off but hey, things at their right time and place.
I do believe in karma and I do believe that if you do other people bad stuff that it will come back to haunt you when you least expect it. The world has this weird way of working. Do I believe in forgiveness? Of course I do, forgiveness is something that all of us should never forget. Do i forgive and forget? Hmmm…At this point, I am just human. I might be able to forgive but never forget….

Just recently I got some money out of making reviews online and they pay thru paypal which is why I got myself a Unionbank EON account as per friend KarrotCakeLover so that I could withdraw the funds in paypal to my bank account. Just today, I got my Unionbank EON account verified in paypal and as of 2:20 PM Philippine time today I got my paypal verified. Things are certainly looking up for my online gigs. Hopefully I get more business and start working from home…Yey!
