Trying Not to Take It Personally Posted at September 02, 2025 0 comments (+)


 Hi Journal,

I’m honestly feeling a mix of disappointment, frustration, and a little sadness right now because of Gladys. I recently found out that she’s been telling stories not just once, but twice  to her colleague in Dubai about the work we’ve been doing here in the Maldives. The way I heard it, it almost sounded like she was making fun of me, as if she was trying to make me look like someone who doesn’t really know what they’re doing. And that really stings… more than I thought it would.

I keep replaying our conversations during the field visits in my head, trying to recall every single detail. I honestly believe I didn’t say anything wrong. Everything I shared came from what I observed, what I understood, and what I know from experience. I was simply trying to explain the client’s problems and make it clear that our product isn’t at fault here. I wanted to justify things professionally and represent us in the best way possible. But now, knowing she turned my words into something to laugh about… it just hurts. It makes me feel small, almost foolish, like I’ve been stripped of the little credibility I’ve worked so hard to build.

What makes it even harder is that I truly thought we had a good relationship or at least I believed we did. Every time she visits the Maldives, I’ve always been genuinely happy to see her. We laugh, we work well together, and I even make the extra effort to make her feel welcome. I thought we were on the same team. So why say those things behind my back? Is it intentional? Does she really think less of me? Or is she just trying to impress her colleagues by making me seem clueless? I can’t tell, and honestly, not knowing makes it worse.

And you know what’s ironic? If I wanted to, I could share a lot of things about her too  stories, habits, moments where she wasn’t at her best. But I don’t. I’ve always chosen to keep those things to myself out of respect. At least, I used to respect her. Now… I’m questioning that. I just wish she gave me the same courtesy I’ve always given her.

Lately, though, I’ve noticed something else eating at me. Whenever she’s here, I sometimes feel… smaller. Like my efforts are invisible. It’s as if what I’ve been doing all along suddenly doesn’t matter, simply because she can come in and do the exact same thing  and somehow, it looks more “valuable” coming from her. I’ve been brushing it off, telling myself, “This is what they want, just let it go,” but deep down, it still gets to me.

Despite all of this, I’m not angry at her. I’m just… hurt and confused. I’m trying to understand where she’s coming from, why she says and does the things she does. Maybe she doesn’t even realize how much her words affect me. Or maybe she does, and she just doesn’t care. I don’t know yet.

All I know is that this situation has left me questioning where I really stand  not just with her, but maybe even in the bigger picture of this work. It’s a strange place to be in, feeling both proud of what I’ve accomplished and yet undermined by someone I thought was an ally.

More Than I Deserve? Posted at May 07, 2025 0 comments (+)

An unexpected blessing came my way, something I never imagined, not even in my wildest dreams

Lately, I’ve been struggling at work. Most days, I feel like I’m just here, doing nothing meaningful. It’s like I’m a wallflower easily overlooked, easily replaced. There are moments I doubt myself, feeling like I’m not good at what I do, not the best at anything, and lacking the qualities of a truly great employee. Honestly, I’ve felt bored, disconnected, and even resentful toward my job. I get easily irritated by people around me, and the thought of quitting, moving out, or going back to Singapore or even trying the UAE again crosses my mind more often than I’d
like to admit.

And then on the most random, ordinary day, without any warning I received a bonus. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, considering how little I feel I contribute, it almost felt undeserved. I was overwhelmed happy, yes but also confused and even a bit embarrassed. I’ve been sitting here collecting a paycheck each month, feeling like I’m not really earning it, and that doesn’t sit well with me.

I’m grateful, truly. But at the same time, I’m wrestling with a lot of mixed emotions.

How Selfish Posted at April 30, 2025 0 comments (+)

Honestly, it’s been really frustrating dealing with a colleague who keeps making things harder than they need to be especially over something that wasn’t even my responsibility to begin with. I only got involved because I’m the one communicating directly with the client, so I naturally want things to go smoothly.

I already understand how the sponsorship process works he actually explained it the other day. But honestly, that conversation should’ve happened a long time ago. I even sent an email weeks ago about the sponsorship, and he never mentioned that I needed a specific letter for documentation. Now he’s bringing it up when it’s already too late to act on it properly.

What’s tough is that I’m the one dealing with the client, and I don’t want to feel them that were ignoring them. Amila really gets under my skin sometimes he acts like he doesn’t want to help, and it comes off as selfish. I get that he doesn’t want to be too involved in the financial stuff, and that’s fine, but is it really too much to ask for a little heads-up or support?

He had the information way before I did. Things like printing the letter, getting it signed, and placing it on the right desk should really fall under his role in the accounting department. It just feels unfair to be left to figure things out last minute when it could’ve been a quick handoff if there had been better communication.

When Saying No Isn’t Really an Option Posted at March 07, 2025 0 comments (+)

I find it so strange when people become entitled because of their social status. When they recognize their position and superiority over others, they often disregard personal space and time. Their toxic traits are impossible to ignore. While these individuals may have the qualities of a good leader, that doesn’t justify acting entitled just because they hold power over others.

One day, my boss asked me to tag along after work to a local soccer match, just to take pictures. I didn’t mind doing it once, but of course, once wasn’t enough. Without hesitation, he asked me to come again as if I had no choice in the matter. The game was set for 11 PM, and I had to leave with them by 10 PM, just imagine how much of my time was wasted on something I wasn’t even interested in. Sure, people might argue that I could simply say no, but let’s be real intelligent people can read between the lines. When you're the boss, there's an unspoken pressure, and saying no isn’t always as easy as it seems. I just wish leadership came with more awareness. power and authority should be exercised with consideration for those below them.

Laamu Gan Posted at January 16, 2025 0 comments (+)

 A quick trip to Laamu Gan—it’s not my first time here, but every visit seems to bring a little moment of reflection. Even in such a short time, this island has a way of making me think about life. I love the beach here; it’s stunning and peaceful. Some of the locals are really kind, but I’ve also had my fair share of not-so-great experiences. I still can’t forget my first time here for work and how rude some of the hospital staff were to me.

Back then, I seriously doubted whether I could make it through life here in the Maldives. I kept second-guessing if this job was even the right fit for me. But looking at it now, it’s clear I’ve come a long way.

By the way, this trip feels unnecessary. I’m not sure why my boss tagged me along, especially since I’ve already done several training sessions at the hospital. Plus, these people have so many complaints about the product. Sometimes I really ask myself, why am I eve
n doing this? Lol.

Damage Skin Posted at December 23, 2024 0 comments (+)


Some people feel the need to give unsolicited opinions, even when what they’re saying could be hurtful. Sure, it might be true, but for goodness’ sake, if you don’t have something kind to say, just don’t say anything at all. It might seem funny to you, but take a moment—think three times—about whether it’ll be funny to the person on the receiving end.

Making fun of someone’s appearance is beyond rude and insensitive. I can’t imagine ever doing that to someone. How can you shatter someone’s confidence just because you haven’t experienced their journey? It’s cruel, plain and simple.

Addy is honestly one of the worst people I know. He’s done this so many times—always has something to say about my appearance. And the thing is, I’d never do that to anyone, not even to him, because it’s just not kind. At the very least, have the decency to act like a decent human being. Oh well, I guess that’s just how he was raised.

And LOL, I still can’t figure out what his deal is. Why call out my skin texture? Yeah, it’s not perfect, and it’s never going to be perfect, but why even bring it up? He didn’t just mention it—he had to emphasize how “damaged” it is. Like, really? Hahaha. He even said something like, “You have damaged skin even though you use tons of skincare.” I was just sitting there, thinking, WTF is wrong with you, dude? That moment wanna punch his mouth ..

I felt so humiliated in front of everyone, and as if that wasn’t enough, he even called over another officemate to gang up on me. He started saying I must be stressed, and that’s why my skin is breaking out. Then, out of nowhere, he had the audacity to pitch some product he wanted me to try as a “sponsorship.” Seriously? Hahahahaha.

To be honest, I was so pissed at that moment. I could literally feel the heat rising from the back of my neck all the way to my head. I was sitting there wishing the ground would just swallow me whole, questioning my existence, like, Is this really happening right now?

I honestly have no words for this kind of person. There was a time when I’d feel so guilty even thinking something negative about him, but not anymore. No more regrets now.

Expectations Posted at June 01, 2024 0 comments (+)

 

You know what's funny and frustrating at the same time? People in the office expect so much from me just because I'm a nurse. They think I can diagnose someone instantly, as if I'm supposed to have all the answers right away! LOL. And on top of that, they expect me to go the extra mile if someone is sick in the office. Why should I stress myself out over things I can't control?

Recently, one of my colleagues was hospitalized with dengue, and many of my officemates have been really invested and busy looking after him, which is nice of them. I visited him too, but I can't spend all my time at the hospital taking care of him. Our accountant, a Sri Lankan guy, has been particularly mean and always makes derogatory jokes about it. He says things like, "You're the nurse here; you should do this and that." Most of the time, I don't find it funny—it's actually really annoying. I have my own responsibilities, and if I help out, it's because I want to, not because I'm told to. This person has been particularly toxic for me.

The other day, Amila was having knee pain, and Addy pointed me out, saying, "Oh, here's Gilbert, he's a nurse," implying that I should take a look. So I started assessing Amila, asking about the pain—how it felt, if he did anything before the pain started, if it was a constant pain, and so on. They weren't taking me seriously and thought I was just messing around. It was mind-blowing how clueless they were about how diagnoses are supposed to work. You can't just say something without properly assessing the person.

I'm not the best nurse, but I'm trying to be good at this profession. However, I'm not even practicing nursing here to begin with.

Baa Atoll Posted at January 22, 2024 0 comments (+)

I've been exploring the Baa Atoll for about a week now, going from Eydhafushi to Thuladhoo, then Goidhoo, back to Eydhafushi, followed by Dharavandhoo, and finally Kendhoo. The constant island-hopping can be a bit tiring, but being so close to nature and traveling solo adds a beautiful touch to the experience. There's something liberating about moving around without the usual considerations that come with having a travel buddy.

In the midst of my island adventures, I've come across a variety of people. One person in Eydhafushi, however, really stood out – the lab in charge. Let me tell you, his vibes are quite off, and he's a tough nut to crack. He's got that typical 'full of himself' attitude, and trying to have an open conversation with him feels like hitting a brick wall. And guess what? He's Indian, fitting the stereotypical image of someone hard to please. His closed-mindedness makes everything unnecessarily complicated.

It's amusing, in a frustrating way, to meet someone so set in their ways, living in their own little bubble. This guy firmly believes what he wants to believe, no matter how much sense you try to talk into him. He's got this thing against safety needles, insisting they cause more pain to patients than regular syringes, especially the ones from Sarstedt. I tried explaining the nuances of pain perception and how safety needles can be handled properly to minimize discomfort, but it's like talking to a wall. He just won't budge. What's even funnier is that he says he doesn't hate safety needles; he just doesn't like them. Yeah, right.

Luckily, our encounter was brief, and I'm crossing my fingers that our paths won't cross again. Amidst such encounters, there are also those who make the journey enjoyable – the enthusiastic and easygoing ones. I'm thankful for those who've made my island-hopping life much smoother, unlike the handful who seem to be more of a puzzle than a pleasure.

"Threads of Sanity at Kudahuvadhoo, Dhaalu Atoll Posted at December 29, 2023 0 comments (+)

 made my way back to Male today. So, Kudahuvadhoo in Dhaalu Atoll? Pretty quiet and kind of gloomy vibe, you know? Supposed to be all about studying, but man, these past few days hit me hard, and I'm knee-deep in procrastination. Like, why am I doing this to myself, especially with exams looming? I tried to go through a few notes, but it doesn't feel like proper studying, you feel me? And there's this mountain of notes I need to tackle again and again – overwhelming much?

Despite my laziness, I managed to wander around the island. Feeling the sea breeze, tasting that salty air, and catching that unique sea smell – it was a mix of relaxation and a bit of a kick, you know? The sounds of the sea and the stunning view of the vast ocean were a welcome break. I was all set to do some training for the nurses for the past days, but guess what? Overslept and missed the early blood collection visit today. Major guilt trip because that's the main thing on my to-do list here, and I blew it. But hey, I'm just so mentally and physically drained.

and there's this other guilt I'm carrying – my exercise routine is on the rocks. Can't even manage indoor push-ups anymore. Feeling regretful and exhausted on that front too. That's Life, huh?

can't complain too much, though. Met some wonderful people at the hospital. After 3 years, got invited to a beach picnic for the first time, and it genuinely made me happy. Honestly, whether they like me or not isn't a big deal because I usually prefer my own company. Socializing isn't really my thing, but with this job, no choice but to dive into it. Still, that picnic? Total happiness 😊

It happened yesterday, and it was a full moon night. Seeing the moon on a gloomy, cloudy night got me all sentimental. Last full moon of the year, and it hit me right in the feels. Reflecting on everything from this year made me tear up. Even though I can't compare my struggles to what others go through, maybe mine is just a tiny part of the mishaps in life, but it's my own journey. I've been hanging by a thread of sanity throughout the year, dealing with secret battles. Should I pat myself on the back for managing to be the best version of myself, despite teetering on the edge of my sanity all year? I think so.

Where should I position myself? Posted at November 16, 2023 0 comments (+)

Today, I felt somewhat uneasy in the office right after lunch. In response to my business director's recent email urging me to be more proactive, I decided to reach out and provide a heads-up regarding a matter she had mentioned. It pertained to a crucial item that could impact our market position, and I wanted both her and her husband, who is also my boss, to be aware of it.

Surprisingly, I received reprimands instead of the expected understanding. It turns out my manager questioned why I had emailed our other boss. This situation has left me at a loss for words. I find it challenging to express my dedication to the company when my efforts to keep them informed are met with criticism. These experiences are making my days at the company increasingly difficult, and I'm struggling to maintain my enthusiasm and sense of value.

This morning, I noticed a message from a colleague in our group chat. He was expressing confidence that the ongoing update to a specific department in the hospital was well-received, with no apparent issues related to his products. Surprisingly, my boss responded by thanking Azard for handling it. I couldn't help but feel disgusted by Azard's insensitivity, especially since he's aware of the challenges we're facing. Personally, I'm struggling with my own product in the laboratory due to the ongoing issues in that same hospital.

He essentially asserted that he can outperform me and is more dependable. I'm not in a competition with anyone; I'm simply striving to meet the company's expectations. However, what he did was seek validation from our boss, indirectly implying that I'm not performing well in my role. Whether he did it out of negative feelings or simply believed it was the right thing to do, he should have considered the potential repercussions. This could backfire on me, and I'm uncertain about how to react. I'm not angry, but I am disappointed.

I value his support, and he's a good friend, but I can't shake this feeling. I often claim I'm not bothered, but the current situation is getting to me. It's hard to explain; I'm not afraid of them, and I have a backup plan if things go south. Yet, there are thoughts and emotions that linger, and I find myself responding to the current situation. I hope it fades from my mind soon.

Work Dynamics Posted at November 09, 2023 0 comments (+)

Today was kind of okay; my boss talked to me, but not about his actions yesterday. Instead, he discussed a solution at IGMH with me and Azard. Hahaha, to be honest, a part of me feels like I'm not even capable of handling this problem on my own, especially considering it's my own account.

Every day in this company, I get this vibe that I'm just a filler, someone they need to plug in when there's a gap in the office or field tasks that no one else can handle. Amila always jokes, "You feel like you're working now after 3 years," especially when he sees me busy with tasks related to my account. I know it's meant to be funny, but it hits a nerve. I never wanted to be just a filler; I want to do something more. I used to work alone, and asking for help isn't really my thing because I believe I can handle it somehow. That's probably my toxic trait – I try to do everything myself if I can.

However, my boss always seems to be judging me – the way he talks to me, the way he sees me, and how he treats me. A part of me is genuinely trying to fully embrace this job, but there's something inside holding me back … probably the work culture here.

I genuinely enjoy working with my teammates here at Naadu. Overall, it brings me a lot of happiness, but every now and then, there's this one issue that really gets on my nerves.

Working with Azard has its ups and downs. On one hand, the guy is seriously reliable and super dedicated to his job, which is awesome. But, you know, there are moments when I feel like he's a bit too gung-ho. Like, he'll go straight to Habeeb with stuff without even giving me a heads up, especially when it's about my accounts. It feels a bit like a sneak attack during meetings, and honestly, it stings. It's like he's more interested in impressing the higher-ups than having my back.

So, we had this plan to check out things at IGMH recently. It was kind of a pain, but having someone to share the load was nice. Still, deep down, I couldn't shake this feeling of not being up to par. It's like, yeah, we did something to make management happy, but part of me wishes they didn't see the need to bring in extra help. It's been a bit of a trend, and it makes me wonder why they hired me in the first place. I'm doing my job, getting paid, but it's messing with my pride a bit, you know? Like, am I really good enough for them, or are they just keeping me around for the sake of it?

I'm not really upset with Azard; he's a good friend and a genuinely good person. It's just that I'm not perfect, and that's why I'm feeling this way.

Last night, we had a pizza party with the guys, and it felt great working with them. However, I guess it's more of my issue—I tend to be introverted. Being around people easily drains me mentally. If given the choice, I'd prefer working alone.

Tipping point Posted at November 08, 2023 0 comments (+)

Today has been quite a unique day, and it feels like one of those days. Tensions flared up right after our meeting at IGMH, making it a pretty hectic and stressful day for all of us. Unfortunately, the meeting didn't go as well as we had hoped, and the problem we were trying to address remains unresolved. Honestly, I'm feeling a bit lost about what steps we should take to tackle this ongoing issue at IGMH. I don't want to point fingers at our staff or our product, but it's tough to figure out who else might share responsibility for this persistent problem.

It's disheartening to think that if the issue at IGMH isn't resolved, all the hard work and effort we've put in will go to waste. What's even more frustrating is that my boss is taking this matter seriously and has been making my life more challenging in the past few days. This situation is really testing my patience, and it's quite frustrating.

Mr. Habeeb is being so unreasonable and full of himself, he’s ineffective leadership puts the project into waste and looking for someone to be blame. I know frustrating the business can be but it’s not that reason to throw a fit and whining about something they can’t be fixed right away. Can you imagine asking something from the other party to provide us (files) I can just grasp what on earth he will be needing it right away, does it make the problem better

I'm feeling really disheartened and undervalued because of his behavior. My time in Singapore has been challenging, and I've learned the importance of not letting people treat me poorly. I understand he's in a higher position, and he's my boss, but I believe that we should all treat each other with respect and kindness. While he may be my superior, it's essential to remember that he doesn't have control over my life. I don't want to feel like I have to blindly follow him, and have the rights to shout on me. I want to maintain my sense of dignity and individuality.

Resignation Posted at November 07, 2023 0 comments (+)

Haha, one of my recurring traits is that I tend to seek new opportunities when I encounter inconvenience in my job, always searching for a brighter path. Today is one of those days when I'm contemplating drafting my resignation letter, preparing for a change that I'm more than ready for. I want to ensure that everything aligns in my favor when I decide to make this leap.

My current job has been one of my most enriching experiences. I've learned a great deal and achieved things I never thought possible. Naturally introverted and shy, with a fear of speaking in front of large crowds, this job has pushed me to overcome those fears and realize my potential.

I'm profoundly grateful to the company for trusting me from the start and witnessing its growth. While I may not have been there from the very beginning, I've seen the company progress. However, there's one aspect that I find particularly challenging, and that's my Sales Director. His leadership style feels patronizing and doesn't resonate with me.

From the beginning, he hasn't been very direct with me. I remember when I first joined; he discussed something in the group chat that seemed directed at me, yet he addressed the message to someone else, making me feel invisible. There have been numerous instances where his actions have left a bitter taste in my mouth. Though he has complimented me in the past, I now feel like my efforts are going to waste.

I don't view him as an effective leader, and his sarcasm and unapproachability only compound the issue. I apologize for venting my frustrations. Hopefully, when I look back on this journal, I'll be in a different place, far from the Maldives. LOL

I'm not proactive Posted at November 02, 2023 0 comments (+)

It's really something, you know, how people can just pull the wool over your eyes and make you feel like you're not doing enough, despite all my efforts to step up. My boss, well, let's just say they've got a knack for twisting things around and making me look like an underperforming employee in front of my manager. And my manager? They didn't even bring up the fact that I'd been trying to get their approval for a visit to the island a few weeks back.

The kicker is, my boss was the one who told me I couldn't go anywhere because of the IGMH project. But now, they're the same ones calling me unproductive and indirectly implying I'm lazy, all while redefining my job description

I had to sit there and listen to my boss criticizing me, all the while avoiding eye contact with me. Can you believe the nerve? Now I'm starting to doubt my own abilities, and I'm wondering if I'm really not as proactive as I thought. From where I stand, I've been giving it my all to be proactive, but these folks act like they're on a whole different level, conveniently forgetting all our previous discussions.

When I first brought up the idea of the visit, my boss questioned its importance, saying the island wasn't a big deal. But now, they've completely changed the story, making it seem like I've never been proactive or committed to my job. It's frustrating because it's not a choice I made; it's a perception they've created.

Well, maybe I've been a bit too laid-back in general, haha. But it's seriously unfair to accuse me of being unproductive. Come on, give me some credit. Anyway, what can I do? I'm a bit of a pushover when it comes to this job, and I feel like I have to say yes all the time. There's not much room for being sensitive and emotional, which, I admit, tends to be my default mode. I've got this urge to speak up and defend myself, but I guess there's no point. After all, I'm just a regular employee.

Vans Posted at October 31, 2023 0 comments (+)

Vans and I had a wonderful catch-up last night. We ventured out for some shopping in Male and enjoyed a dinner at Burger King. It was so enjoyable chatting with Vans, sharing our rants, struggles, and hearty laughs. There's something truly special about having someone close to you with whom you can confide things you might not share with everyone. I'm fortunate to have many close friends. Mary and Dors are always there for me, Athena has been a constant presence in my life since the beginning, and I can always count on her. Abby is another pillar of support I can lean on, and no matter what, I know I can run to her for help, just like Gladys, who started as a stranger but soon became a dear friend. However, having Vans here on the island is different. She can truly understand my situation since she also works here. I feel truly blessed to have formed friendships with so many wonderful people.

To be honest, I find it challenging to share this kind of struggle with my family at home—my mom and siblings. There's a sense of awkwardness in discussing my personal challenges with them. I've been under a lot of stress due to work and the people

around me, and I feel an immense pressure on my shoulders. I'm actively seeking ways to find an escape, and I'm fervently praying to God, hoping He'll hear my wish hehehe. Lord bigay mo na sakin to.

Uncle from Punggol Posted at June 03, 2015 0 comments (+)

Uncle from Punggol. When I saw him, he was like the happy person I've met. He was smiling to everyone and make a thumbs up sign like seems everything are okay. Uncle was a stoked patient and his half  body  is like a lifeless thing attached to his own extremities.

I've found him cool and kind. When we're about to leave at The hospital, he was crying while talking to one of the nurses there because he thinks that no one there will want to see him, that was cute hahaha. Uncle bit disoriented sometimes and confused but most of the time he was alert and responsive. 

He had 4 childrens and I see them as a united family. And I witnessed also how they are concerned to their parents and How they loved them. His daughter "Charlene" I like her because I know how she love his father and I saw it when she's  talking, cuddling and touching him  They're like cartoons and they are very funny.  Auntie also is a funny person that's why I'm shocked when her daughter tells me that auntie was a schizophrenic and uncle had depression before. Now there was no traced of being like them before and now they are okay. I asked Charlene how she managed that situation since she was living with them alone because all of his brothers are been married and living with their own family. She was like a wonder woman taking care of her parents while she also needs to work. It was like a big challenge for her the past 2 years when the time her mom got a mental ill and her dad has a suicide attempt. And that times she also wants to break down because everything are her responsibilities now. How tough it is right?! 

I admired those people who taking care their parents when they are old enough. You know here in Singapore eventually when they get married they want to have their own house and their parents will be alone at home or they send them on a nursing homes. The family ties here is somehow not that strong.  But us Pilipinos, we can shout all over the world that we have strong family ties. And that's one of our traits that we're proud of.


Uncle and I doing his exercise routine


when we went in Malaysia, that was my first step in Malaysia :D

snow white aka ace :) Posted at July 13, 2013 1 comments (+)

be aware for this post! emotions overload :)

its been a months, some of my closest friends in office are leaving and now ace also need to leave for better career path.

i'm happy for her of course, that is for her growth and for better future, but honestly there's a thin line between happiness and sadness~ shuxxx *_* idunno it because we've been good friends for all these years. like good partners when it comes in work and sharing those funny things about our self. simple conversation that we end up laughing. seriously this is really clingy on my part and awkward as well.  this is what i miss for sure. green jokes and those funny icons 0_0 and being my BIG sistah :) haha

~a friend who treated me like her own brother. (hahah wala ee. pogi ehh).and  teasing me like a high school bully. (agreeeee^^) i surely missed her and those phone calls and follow up about work related question. and of course " yung simpleng kwentuhan pero alam mong may laman at minsan seryoso na pala" yung mga bagay na gusto kong marinig at advice na manggagaling sa isang tunay na kaibigan. masakit marinig sa iba pero pag sa real friend matatanggap mo ng bukal sa puso. :) *brutally honesty.
nakakamiss yooooon for sure. :( 

~thank youuuu ace. for believing me na POGI ako hahahaha and for the friendship, and for the unconditional love snowhite . cheers! and goodluccccckkk friend. :D alam ko naman na lahat tayo kailangan mag step forward ee. magkikita pa rin naman kami for sure, maka emote lang ako :( bakit ba nalulungkot ako ee. :)

minsan kasi ito ang poblema ko ee. pagiging attached sa isang tao eh. pakiramdam ko tuloy na, im always left alone. *_* hahaha drama lang.

"Basta, bahala na. ganyan ang kaibigan dapat hahaha  sincere honest and real

walked backward :) Posted at April 14, 2013 5 comments (+)

well its been a long time since my last post. hehe. alam na mga sentimento ko sa buhay lagi akong stressed  as much as possible gusto ko maging masaya well ok naman since nabasa ko yung book ni Ramon bautsita. feelin' goodvibes after that. but i can't denied that there's another factor that makes me stressed and I'm really bored. O_O

last week really fly so fast.and  i cant remembered those days. oh life why you're so fast. and now my futures really looking at me now. stop the drama pls! :)

this is nice about life :

we ate at ted's lapaz batchoy located in  ali mall cubao with Ace and mama roma :) this is a late dinner.that was last last friday hahaha


mang inasal at Balintawak branch together with mama roma :) this was last last week again. well i miss this food. so much memories brings to me when i eat this food. my college days and now :) and i considered it as my comfort food :)


after a while we just met again. and i really miss her. unlimited chitchat and kwento :) of course gala mode at sm manila for movie fiesta exorsimus with Gile.


 Hanging for a moment. and wait until we ride :)


morning tuesday :) while waiting for abby , i just recognized one college friend while waiting for my order. haha i'm just like an idiot trying to cover my face and pretend that i don't see anything. for me its awkward and stressful on my part beside i'm a little bit shy about my face because of this pimple issues :( anyway we're planning for future with abby and yet we end up for nothing that day hahaha because its a holiday. and for wrong info from jobent. so we just chatting the whole trip and i'm just like giving an opinion and advice for abby's problem about ron.(a couple problem) and i played a role of a bully friend hahaha just like teasing her and tried to break her until she cry."pero nag advice naman ako ng matino ayaw ko naman silang maghiwalay dahil sa konteng away" and i just felt that abby start to fall out love for ron. well i hope that i'm wrong, they're been for a long time and it could be a waste of time if they just break their relationship for one problem. sana maging ok sila.
  haha anyway since were along the way. we decided to dropped by in baclaran church for divine intervention and guidance for future plans :)


one of my favorite place "baclaran church" this is really mean to me. a place when i need peace and guidance. served as my sanctuary. well a place that keeps a lot of memories way back college days and counting until now. GOD is really good

 Rona's last day March 12. one of the saddest day here in accenture.

well people leave because they need to grow and move for next step. they also have plans for their lives. and that is the things that i need to used too. accepting that anyone could leave and let you alone for a while. there's no permanent in this world, even the time and people around you. time could past and people may also leave. but it doesn't mean that you can't live alone. maybe of now but eventually you meet new people and make a friends.

its sounds corny and too emo ~ but its means a lot for me.
she's the person that i talked to whenever i felt upset and disappointed. a good listener and adviser. Bully and funny.  times that we're happy talking for some common about us. Anime, kpop drama, food, love and life perspective. whenever she is, i hope she's happy and good.

nomnomnomnom photo tumblr_me96wv4pMh1qdlkyg_zpsaeb59e09.gif 

ace and i had dinner foodtrip in S&R last tuesday after searching for a Notary public stand along aurora street in cubao. for her clearance in st. luke's hosp.  well another sad sorry, O_O ace also want to leave and now she's already searching for better job. photo tumblr_me96wfvO8S1qdlkyg_zpscc6ce569.gif #alarming on my part tsk! well i hope that she could find it soon. ^_^) well now i'm also planning for that. hehehe  and last friday kumain din kami with mama roma at alvin sa S&R. (picture provided by google)


~well ace is on leaved last wed, because she need to attend her interview in st. luke's , so i been assigned in pet, O_O seriously? kinakabahan ako hAHAHAah anyway OK naman haha maliban sa mga RN na di ko na update. and the following day, this is most annoying things that day. well yung tracker na ginagamit ko sa recep. all of a sudden biglang bumigat yung load ( talking about the properties ) >.<
KAKAASAR LUNGS! O_O hahaha pero ok na nagawan ko naman ng paraan at gumawa ng ako ng backup.

"people leave because people get tired"

how i wish



last day, miss zen asked me if i also  have plans applying abroad ? and i say yes. yun advice nya na "mag earn muna daw ako ng experience para may career path na raw ako katulad ni ace and carene" well kahit paano it make sense hahaha -- tulad dati baguhin ko daw yung password ko : "foreveralone" i'll never be alone sabi ni miss zen ~ ok naman si miss zen yun lang minsan may ibang aura sya na di ko ma explain. may instinct talaga haha. well i can't judge people by a random feelings."dahil my kanya kanyang pinagdadaanan tayo"

mid week - abby talked to me for her prospect agency going to dubai,. well she trying to convince me to take the HAAD exam for that. and  for my experienced i need to fake it just to be process for that post Nursing home. for me, i had a lot of questions? and i'm too hesitant for this. ayoko mandaya baka bigla akong bumingo lagot! hahaha and if i take that exam, there's any assurance that i'll be selected for that post.and as far as i know medical muna bago yung interview. its sound stupid for me. >_< anyway! it should  her choice and i don't have any rights to pull her back, hmm advice lang siguro but its up to her. maybe it this is the time to make my own plan..

GOODLUCK FOR ME.
