Q&A

Some random questions (that stuck in my mind 'coz I know I could have answered it better) asked to me by friends, office mates, random people, chismosas (lols) and my answers. Not really my exact answers but those were my thoughts during that time. I could have expounded on it but tinatamad ako mag-isip. So I'm writing here what I should have answered.

Are you alright? 
My answer: "Yes. I'm good."
My mind: Hindi talaga.

Mukha kang hindi okay. I mean are you emotionally okay? 
My answer: "Bakit mukha ba kong emotionally unstable ngayon???" o.O
My mind: "Halata bang emotionally unstable ako ngayon??"

How can I make a girl love me?
My answer: "Be nice to her, be a gentleman, be a good conversationalist, make her laugh a lot. Yan lang naiisip ko for me pero baka iba iba naman bawat babae. So scrap mo na yan. Hahaha! Pero seriously, don't be a jerk."
My mind: Same as above. But I wanted to add this "Be consistent. Consistency is the key para mahalin ka niya boy! But then it still depends on the girl"

Do you believe in love at first sight?
My answer: "NO! I'm the type na nahuhulog. saklap 'no? Haha!"
My mind: "Hmm.. sa totoo lang hindi. Pero I know this is weird, but I already know during my first meeting with a guy if magiging boyfriend or magkakaron kami ng something in the future. It's as if at the start may lukso na ng dugo landi. Choz. Hahaha! Basta nalalaman ko na yun agad agad. I don't know if that counts as love at first sight. Nalalaman ko lang ah, pero it takes process talaga bago ko ma-fall.

Kayo pa ba?
My answer: "Haha oonaman. Minsan gusto ko na maniwala sa forever."
My mind: "Yes! Of course! Ano bang tanong yan."

Regret mo ba na we took a risk?
My answer: "Honestly, di naman kasi sumaya naman ako nun per niregret ko lang na nagfall ako ng sobra."
My mind: "Honestly, di naman. Masaya naman ako nun pero superficial lang kasi nararamdaman ko na hindi mo naman ako kaya mahalin talaga. Feel ko nagstay ka lang for convenience. Malungkot ka tapos may nagpasaya sayo, kaya andyan ka. Pero di mo naman talaga tnry ako na mahalin. Prove me I'm wrong."

Namiss mo ko?
My answer: "Oo sobra!"
My mind: "YES! YES! YES! Wag ka na aalis sa tabi ko please?"

Do you think I can handle it?
My answer: "Yes, I'll handle it. I'll try my best."
My mind: "Yes, I'll handle it. As it I have a choice. Lol"

Can I have your number? I want to be your textmate, miss.
My answer: "No. Sorry I don't give my number to strangers"
My mind: "No. Sorry I don't give my number to strangers. At textmate talaga??? Uso pa ba yun? Fb na lang! Lol"

Make time please? please? please?
My answer: "I'll try. Promise"
My mind: "Time? What time? But then if it's really important, I'll make time"

Relationship or career?
My answer: "Relationship"
My mind: "I value and put relationships first. Nobody remembers powerpoint presentations during funeral."

Selosa ka ba?
My answer: Slight. Hehe..
My mind: Selosa ko at the start of the relationship at hindi ko alam kung bakit. I think siguro nagaadjust pa ko and hindi pa masyado deep ang level of trust. Pero after 6 months, hindi na talaga. Haha mejo confident kasi ako sa ganda at skillz ko. Lol.

Marami pa rin nagpapapicture sakanya?
My answer: "Oo no. Artista ang peg. Haha! Pero bayaan mo sila, di naman na ko affected ngayon."
My mind: "Oo no. Artista ang peg. Haha! Pero bayaan mo sila, di naman na ko affected ngayon. They can look but don't they dare touch. Hahaha!"

Bakit ang bango mo?
My answer: "Sorry pinagpapawisan ako."
My mind: "Hello?!? gugustuhin mo ba na mabaho ako. Hahaha! "

Patch, balita ko may nagkakagusto sayo dito ah. Totoo ba?
My answer: "Mads, tama ang balita mo."
My mind: "Mads, nagulat ka pa ba? Choz. Hindi ko alam. Malay ko."

No to Bad Vibes Today

When things don't go the way we want them to, it's very easy to get frustrated and feel bad about life. 

But feeling good and being happy are not just emotions.  They are a choice.  We feel good and happy because we choose to - what happens and the circumstance only make the choice easier or more difficult.

I choose to be happy. 

That smile though :) Priceless. :)

Protect your joy.  Nothing is easier to lose by over-thinking, overanalyzing, and second-guessing. On the other hand, always consider the long-term consequences of your choices: stupid decisions made in the moment can rob you of years of joy and happiness.

What I badly needed

All I need is some time to be alone with my thoughts. 

A time to escape and do nothing. 

A time when I can lay down and forget everything.

What I wanted is some time to be free - free from all the expectations, senseless talks and downheartedness.

What I badly needed is today.

Because I won't be seeing you until Thursday...

Here's a picture of us to inspire me this week. :) I miss you already!

Happy Friday!

My friends from Finance were having a discussion on something about work when I entered the room.

Girl 1: Ayan o si Patty tanungin mo.
Me: Yes? Ano yun?
Girl 2: Magreresign ka na rin Patty?
Me: Hahaha! Bakit?
Girl 1: 'Deh. Yan naman si Patty isa lang naman reklamo niyan eh. Work-life balance. Sa kanila kasi feeling niya sobrang walang buhay. Grabe kasi yung flexibity sa Sales. Even weekends, holidays required ka magwork unlike satin sa Finance. Grabe din sila mag OT. Yun lang naman reklamo niyan kaya minsan nalulungkot yan.
Girl 2: Ah..so Patty disengaged ka na rin? (Pero ang rinig ko sa question ay: "So Patty engaged ka na rin?")
Me: *answers the question with enthusiasm and excitement* Hindi pa nga eh. Pero minsan gusto ko na nga. Gusto ko na nga ma-engage talaga pero keri lang naman kahit hindi pa. Pero pag napapagod na ko sa work iniisip ko gusto ko na mag-asawa para mafulfill ko na ang dream ko na maging housewife hahaha! Mag-aalaga na lang ako ng kids at ng husband ko tapos magbu-business na lang ako. Ayoko na ng corporate work.
Girl 1 & Girl 2: Adik ka talaga eh no. Ang tanong eh kung disengage ka sa work.
Me: Ah okay. Hahahaha!
