well thank God for Google...

nakakalungkot lang na there are really people like this annamarie na sanay na sanay na manloko ng tao...nakakalungkot din for people who are willing to help other people in need with no strings attached...no they are not idiots for falling into this victim story...gusto lang talaga nilang makatulong at nakakalungkot na may mga tao na madali sa kanila ang mang-abuso ng kabaitan ng ibang tao...tsk tsk...

well last friday, i received a  text message from a certain marie, 21 years old, fresh grad from bacolod, here's the exact message - "Puede po b kong humingi ng 2long sa inyo? I'm marie, 21yo fresh grad po from bacolod. Gagawin ko po ang lahat ng kapalit na gusto nio, ma2lungan nio lng po akong makapunta sa maynila. I'm willing to take the risks.  My job hiring na po kc ako jan sa smc-ortigas, sayang nman po kung madidissolve lng...My picture po ako at supporting documents sa www.avelasco.cjb.net - marie"

Parang eva fonda story lang yung message di ba =) I received the message twice for that day.

I just ignored the messages thinking it was another scam but still at the back of my mind, i'm thinking what if the girl is really helpless? naka-piso fare naman sa cebu pacific, magkano na lang ba plane fare from bacolod to manila, honestly naaawa ako, yun nga lang common sense dictates 'scam' lang to. kinalimutan ko na nga na may nagtext sa kin nito eh and then last night, i received another message from that same number...i thought of checking the website indicated...sige na tutal wala naman akong ginagawa, pag-aaksayahan ko na ng panahon baka nga there is some truth dun sa text nya...

--------------------

We have many opportunities each day to worry and live in fear, from being worried about the economy and our health to our family and children, the list could go on and on! But did you know faith and fear have something in common? They both ask us to believe something is going to happen that we cannot see. Fear says, “Business is slow. You’re going to go under.”  But faith says, “Your best days are still out in front of you.” When we give in to thoughts of fear, our perspective becomes distorted. Fear is like a fog. It makes things look worse than what they really are. It might look intimidating, but there is nothing really to it, just a bunch of vapors that can fit in a small glass.

Use your energy to believe and not worry. Our God is all-powerful. He has brought you through in the past, and He is going to bring you through in the future. Surround yourself with people of faith who will speak victory into your life. If you’ll be disciplined in your thought life and learn to choose faith instead of fear, you’re going be filled with a constant peace and confidence. You were created for a life of victory, not to have your enthusiasm and joy stolen by fear. Choose to walk in faith today. Remember, it takes the same amount of energy to worry as it does to have faith. So switch your gears to having faith and trusting God. God works everything out for good and to your advantage!

originally written by my bestfriend Marife.  i just find the blog interesting hehe...ikaw may sapi ka ba? =) read on...

----------

'may sapi'

I heard this ‘may sapi’ term just this week and prompted me to ponder about how a person may be able to distinguish if this psychological disturbance is present in people you see or talk to each day.  This term can be equated to your inability to think rationally and properly.  In my opinion, I think the following can be considered as indicators:

>You feel heavy hearted after talking to a certain person.

>When different illogical stories are told like claiming to be very beautiful and desirable even if you are not, or maintaining an aura of an executive, and enjoying benefits of a manager of a multinational company even if you have not been permanently hired in a certain company

>making a certain commitments or promises but would not be able to keep it

>Enjoying a lucrative lifestyle but borrows money from almost all people known to the person described in this blog, in order to maintain a classy way of life until debt soars up to 6 digits, instead of working or assuring that a certain or some pertinent persons will pay for all the purchases done

>Fabricating destructive stories that may create discord among families, friends, colleagues etc, (of course I think no person IN HIS OR HER RIGHT MIND would dare do this) especially if you did not get what you want or any events that took place were not of your will.

>When you hear a person telling gossips and defamating fallacies behind his or her own friends’ back stating that these confidential matters are disclosed to you because you are a trusted friend to the latter and after sometime you see the same person kissing the cheek of the friend who was “already sold” to you, with all smiles and seemingly genuine care

Can’t think of anything more, but one things’ for sure, if you can’t sleep well because everybody seems to hunt you for your offenses, more probably you’ll start to acquire the “sapi” and would probably need to seek professional help in the future  

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deeperst fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be great, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?'

oh yeah (",)

for Christian Bautista, oh yeah, for being the same balladeer that I admire since day one that I saw him on TV...until now, he never failed to relieve my sadness...

for Sarah, my partner in crime, and Aife, for making life in the office so bearable - two of those people that makes me look forward of seeing everyday in the office...

for Martin, my world vision kid, for his letters and christmas card that never failed to make me smile...

for Miss Sharon and to the rest of Children's Garden, for the awareness that she shared with me and for being such an inspiration in helping the street kids...

for people who appreciates me and my talent, without whose help and encouragement, my talent will be nothing...thank you...

and for our God who blessed me with so much even when I least deserved those blessings...for providing me everything that I needed and wanted - for the stick of isaw up to the concert patron tickets that i'm fond of buying, for the strength on those times I feel weak, for dreams that I'm about to realize...for giving me this life and a wonderful 2007 and for a new day and a new year that God is giving me...oh what a wonderful journey

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again
Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

Happiness is having a sister

Sharing a sandwich

Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That's loved by you

I just received a text message today, with an introduction that he or she hopes that "it will help me to be a better christian."  The sender was affected with my blog about the cheap bitch. The sender told me that I don't have the right to embarrassed other people "lalo na daw sa internet." Napakabait daw kase ng taong yun. The sender was sad to see that there are people like me who wants to manipulate others by writing/saying nasty things. And yes the sender told me how ugly i am, inside and out.  Well, that's the sender telling me to be a good christian.

I had already replied to that message. And I how I wished that  the sender will also be able to read this, since this will be the last time that I wanted to write about this episode of my life.

The sender of the text, like the cheap bitch that I wrote about, just assumed a lot things - as if they knew me, as if they knew what i am thinking.  They're just making assumptions, especially the cheap bitch, that  i am giving a damn on how they live their life. Where in fact, I don't want to waste any single second on them.

Last night, I gave a thought on what the cheap bitch had said to me. Iniisip ko lang may mga bagay pa ba na hindi ko nasabi sa mukha nya before...lahat naman yata nasabi ko na...kaya nga di ko na sya pinapansin di b...at least di na ko maaasar, at least di ko na sya babarahin for every kaartehan or kayabangan that she says. It just that I did'nt expect that it will be interpreted or assumed by the cheap bitch  that  I'm doing  something behind her back...duh.  Who does she think she was to waste my time on her? 

Nakakatawa lang, may mga taong who will push you to anger, and then will wonder kung baket ka nagagalit.  May mga taong mahilig magpaka-bitch every now and then but could not deal with the same bitchyness. Tapos pag hindi na kaya, iiyak and will look for a 'sympathy committee' What a shit!

It's really tiring to be angry... that's why this will be the last time that I'm gonna spend a time and space for this event in my life.

I have a lot of things to do. I have lots of plans in my list not only for myself but for other people as well.  I'm not gonna waste my time on the cheap bitch. Oh yeah, I want to stop making sins because of her.

To the sender of the text message early this morning, before you gave me a lecture on how to be a good christian, make sure that you knew both sides of the story, make sure that you knew how it all started. You told me that I don't have the right to embarrass people on my blogsite, well, by what rights that that cheap bitch has to say nasty things and assume things about me in front of so many people?

I'm moving on.

The leader of the pack always eats first and chooses the best pieces of meat.  Next the other members of the pack eat one after the other.  Anyone who tries to butt in is met with snarls and barks. The message is clear: "wait for your turn."

I got that information from one of those books that we had collected to be donated to an organization. While reading, the passage reminded me of some of the government officials that we have - always choose the best meat and yet I feel like the wolf leaders are better since after choosing the best they will let the other members to take the rest of the meat. A question came to mind - kelan kaya mabubusog ang mga opisyal ng gobyerno natin?
