Awkwardness

I’m sure all of us have experienced moments when we would wish that we can just disappear instantaneously instead of having to watch ‘inappropriate’ instances uneasily.

In short, don’t you ever wish you don’t have to experience AWKWARD MOMENTS???

Here are some (of the millions) I consider under this category:

~ When someone keeps on talking w/ wrong grammar… AND with confidence! (“1 plus 1 is equals to”, “we will be going to discuss about…”, “…and that is what we called the photosynthesis”, etc)

~ When you are watching personalities make a fool of himself/herself (Christian Bautista/Rico Yan (RIP) dancing)

~ When you are in a mall and someone asks you directions, shoe sizes, etc; mistaking you for sales lady/clerk.

~ When an important person (like a big boss) is delivering a joke that is stomach-achingly-not-so-funny.

~ When a saliva drop dives out of your mouth while you are talking to someone. You both know it happened but you both pretend you did not see it.

~ When you are eating in a food court/restaurant and you have to share a table with a stranger.

~ When you come across an old acquaintance and you have nothing to talk about.

There's more to come....

Mis-

I’m tired of explaining my self.

My actions continue to be misunderstood, misinterpreted, or misjudged. It’s just way too tiring when you’d have to explain yourself over and over again. It’s thesis defense all over again. I don’t want to prove anything; I just want to live life.

I feel like I am obliged to explain and apologize when deep inside me, I do not know what to apologize for.

You 1: I do not owe you an explanation. It's not like we're friends and all.

You 2: I have always been open with everything. No secrets or hidden agendas.

You 3: I can explain for you but do you listen?

You 4: I can reason out once or twice or even thrice if needed, but more than that, I just feel like a fool.

Do I really owe everyone an explanation?

I just feel tired - tired - tired.

The Fulfilled Jolalay

Our company held a beauty pageant for the guys (yes, for the guys, not the gays) last Friday. It was weeks of preparation and all and being one of the PA’s, it was 20% stressful and 80% fun. But let me tell you, it was all worth it!

Of course we won - no competition! The other candidates looked like guys dressed in gowns but our candidate looked like a goddess. It was though you were looking at a true celebrity.

According to the judges, if the awards had not been required to be distributed to all the candidates, our candidate would have gotten it all! We got the actual scores, and truly...we did bagged all the awards... best in long gown, sports attire, talent. Hehehe.

Anyway, as much as I wanna show you how he really looked like, I can’t. We need to secure his anonymity. Hehehe.

Katrina

My reaction to hurricane Katrina…

Jokingly, I would say:
Ang lakas talaga ng dating ng mga Katrina!!!

Seriously, I would say (well more on question in confusion):

How the heck is it possible that the US government is encountering LACK OF FUNDS for the relief operations??!?!

Why is the US having scarcity of military men and police to organize the evacuation sites’ safety and orderliness? I saw from Today show that people have been looting each other’s houses/shops, just to get supplies of food and other necessities. There aren’t any policemen or military men around. I also watched a victim express his anger and pain in seeing that the funds and military people that should have been helping them are not available... because of some unnecessary war that their government has prioritized.

Why is the Philippines sending batches of Filipino doctors/nurses/aids to help when we lack those here in the first place? (Sino pa’ng matitira dito? Babalik pa ba sila dito kung nandun na sila sa US?)

Why is it possible that this Filipino organization is able to donate US$25,000 in one snap of a finger when I haven’t even heard them have that much for Philippine-related calamities? (Sorry but I can’t help but compare)

No, I am not saying don't help them, I am saying, please be realistic when helping.
And please continue praying for everyone.
