As you may have noticed, I have a very minimal activity for a while now.  The reason, I am preparing my report for our skip level meeting this weekend.  Sheesh, as if the pressure of meeting the targets is not enough!  Anyway, I need to get things rolling and be prepared for the grilling that I may get from the higher management.  I never imagined that it will be very difficult to get my presentation done. Well, just keep your fingers crossed and do pray for me that I will still get to keep to get my job after my presentation.  And that I may convince my masters that I am qualified for the job.

 They say change is inevitable.  Something that I agree with for no matter how we try to keep things as it is, the time will come and things will eventually change.  I really can’t point out where the drive to develop something into a more complicated and more advanced technology came from.  Is it with the constant need of developing things?  Our desire of making things more convenient? Or are we just not contented in what we have?  Not that I am complaining though for I truly like what we have right now.  It just that before, home entertainment amounts to a television set and a radio.  Then the radio became a karoake and the television set was paired with a beta max.  And now it became a HDTV and a component and computers too.  Even the cables used to connect these units have evolved from a simple connector into a coaxial cable into High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) cable.  And due to a lot of units that we put together to have a sophisticated home entertainment package, consumers should be thankful to electronic companies who manufacture wall plates like a HDMI wall plate.  It’s because of this wall plates, that we are able to bring a little order in the chaos brought about by the number and the different kinds of wires that we use to connect these things together.

As a proof to my kikay-ness, aside from not being able to say no to an interesting cookbook, I have a hard time saying no to shoes like this pair of Dansko clog sandals. Something that my eldest brother can never understand. I remember him going with me, my aunt and my dad shopping at SM North Edsa and my aunt wanted to buy me 2 pairs of shoes so we went around looking for a great pair (which cost us the whole afternoon). I think he was a bit pissed off that day that until now when we look back to that day he would always ask how many pair of shoes does a girl need? Well, he should ask that question to Madam Imelda Marcos who has hundreds of shoes. You know men can never understand it but we women, we always want to look fab and be ready when the need arises. I mean, who would want to wear a pair of rubber slippers when you are wearing a beautiful Versace gown or a pair of sneakers to a very corporate looking Armani suit paired with a skirt? Well, some dare devil trendsetter would but not me.  I would think it an insult to the designers if you steal the lime light away from their creations by doing a crazy stunt like wearing an unappropriate pair of footwear.  Wouldn’t you agree my fellow fashionistas?

It seems that I have made quite a confusion on my sexuality when I wrote about Bobby. Just to put an end to the confusion and to make the records straight, I am a GIRL. Okay. No doubt about it. And I like men (a lot) it’s them who doesn’t like me. But nevertheless, am still a girl who is into men. What I mean about wanting to be like Bobby is being able to do what I wanted to do. Which is to cook and put up my own business and be able to quit the job that I have now. However, due to practical reasons, quitting the job that I have now is really not a good option for me. There. If I’m going to put something out of my closet, it will be about that. Not about my sexuality. For it’s already out.  It’s just that I am not as kikay as a cheerleader or any average girl you know.  i guess that’s the reason why a lot of people question it.  But hey, who would know better?  I guess that’s what you get when you stay single for too long.  It’s just like straight men accused of being gays when they remain single until they are 40 year old.  Hehehe…

We all know about the economic situation in the US. And from what I hear the most affected by the issue is the real estate industry. Am not really sure how this affected the buying power of the consumers and how it influenced the decision to buy real estate properties of the consumers though. But if the economic situation in the US is really bad and the real estate industry is truly affected then the American people will really think twice before buying houses. Although homeowners can hold on to their properties and wait for the value of their properties to go up, some might be in dire need to sell for some financial difficulties like the senior citizens. And since most senior citizens are already under pension and are too old to qualify for a loan, reverse mortgage or lifetime mortgage may actually be an answer to their difficulties. However, reverse mortgages are not for everyone. This loan is only available to homeowners who are 62 year old and older. But, those who are interested in getting this type of loan must seek a third party financial counseling approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Developent (HUD) and set an appointment with the institution where they are planning to get their loan to get more reverse mortgage information. This way interested parties will know what are the effects on having this loan on their social security and medicare benefits, what taxes that may apply and etc.

I really can’t understand movies where the characters will go to the school of their enemies just to steal a football trophy.  I mean there are a lot of football trophies in the world and there are a lot of leagues to join in where you can win trophies so why steal something that isn’t yours?  I though trophies are symbol of glory so why would anyone go out and still something that you haven’t earned? I just hope this does not happen in real life.  But I kinda admit, in the movies it was fun  but in real life.  Nah-ah.  I mean it’s bad enough that you took something that’s not yours like trophies and claim it to be yours is something else.  Don’t you think?n your own school hall, that’s something else don’t you think?

Well, Bobby is a service master in the company that I work for. I usually see him when I go around and I must say I don’t usually say hi to him like most people in the company. But after I saw him dance the hula in a grass skirt and the “flamingo” I admired him. You know the Philippines is very conservative when it comes to homosexuality. If his relatives saw him dance the hula in a grass skirt, a head dress with his face made up, he could have been disowned by them. But my admiration for him was not because he came out of the closet but it’s because he was able to do what he always wanted to do without any hesitations. When he danced in front of everybody including the site director, he did not just showed us what he wanted to do but he did it in a way to tell whoever is watching that he it was he LOVED to do. Hay, when will I get to really show who I am and not worry about people not liking who I am.

I went out with a bunch of colleagues last night to give in to their request.  If you can remember, my boss’ agenda for me is to find me a boyfriend. Unfortunately, their plan failed for I was meet any guy at all tonight. Hehehe… But too bad, I guess my boss was kinda disappointed.  Any how, we went to party in a club to party but it was kinda boring so we went out to eat instead. I wonder where all the cute guys go.  They planned to go to the casino but too bad, we had to end the night early. I got home at 2:30 am. Which is very early if you consider the work hours that we are used to. Anyway, so here I am making this article and later on, I’ll go ahead and watch The Strangers. I just don’t know how the movie will end but anyhow, I won’t have any expectations. I’ll just play the movie and watch it and probably talk about it in the near future.  But now that am home, it made me think.  Maybe I should have gone back to the office with Ed and work as well.  Or stayed in Starbucks on the ground floor.  But then I will be alone there.  For Ed was already sleepy, he might decide to sleep in the louge instead.  If that happens I will have to wait until morning for it won’t be safe to go home by myself. :(  Anyway, to sum things up, we went out and have a little fun, got home safe and am still single.  Hehehe…

P.S.

Now am thankful that we decided to go home for it rained.  And thank God that it rained for our electric fans are broken and it’s really warm in my room.

As I promised to Wena, this song goes out to that guy who is such a chicken that he can’t seem to say what he wants to say. I mean it’s kinda obvious that he likes her but just don’t have the courage to tell her… However, you will have to forgive me for I can’t find a better video for this song and it’s in Filipino. Anyhow, this song was written to encourage those guys who can’t seem to summon up their courage to tell a girl that they like her. To my fellow Pinoys, I know you’ll be able to understand and relate to this song so enjoy!
