weakness ..

Everyone has or have our own weaknesses. Something in particular we always wanted to keep in ourselves or shall I say to keep from others. Something that is considered as a sensitive topic, something that when brought out or being talked about or even use as a simple joke, you don’t know how to act. You feel so uneasy about it.

Imagine being in an interview when you’re applying for a job. When asked about your strengths, it’s so easy for us to think of something we could consider as our strengths. It’s a different thing when we’re asked about our weakness and how did we handle or overcome it. It’s also the same feeling when it comes to our own personal weaknesses. Those things are something that we hardly admit to ourselves. Something we don’t want to talk about, sometimes.

AGE. Your age is the number of years that you have lived. It is the state of being old or the process of becoming older.

I have a friend who’s so sensitive about her age. Our age ranges from 22 – 28 years old. She’s the oldest in our group. Everyone noticed her uneasiness when it is being talked. I can feel it too because I, myself is also sensitive about it. Though, we know that sometimes it is just for fun, we don’t know how to respond on a joke about age. All we did is just smile, because when we try to speak to play with their jokes, sometimes we just sounded like a defensive one. Bottom line is, they will all laugh about it. No one wanted to be the center of a joke and the feeling that everyone is making fun of you.

People in nature, doesn’t want to consider as old. These maybe because at the back of our mind, we always wanted to stay young. Sometimes, older people likes being with younger people; then younger people likes being with older people. It’s vice-versa. But one thing I realized about it, when you’re with younger people you learn how to enjoy more with your life. Younger people are tend to be care-free, because all they want is just FUN, FUN, FUN. Likewise, being with older people is an opportunity to learn more and gain knowledge from them, from their experiences.

it's a girly thing!.. :D

When I was still working in Let's Face It, I remember I usually have my weekly manicure and pedicure for free. It's because, the training center for the salon's attendants is just located in the 2nd floor of the office. Manicure and pedicure are just one of the few benefits of pampering yourself for free as an employee there. Nowadays, I usually had my pedicure done once or twice a month in a parlor nearby our home, this time I have to pay for it. But, I don't usually have my hands to be manicured, I just don't think it's practical because the nail polish on my hands gets damaged easily. So, what I did is just have my nails in my hands manicured all by myself, that way I won't have to pay over and over again if ever I needed a nail polish retouch.Yes, I can do it. :) Today, my nails are colored by pink lilac nail polish. So love it !.. :D I am not comfortable and confident enough about having a nail polish in my hands before especially those ...

Halley has always turned to Scarlett when things get rough, and Scarlett has always known just what to do. It’s the perfect set up. But everything changes at the beginning of their junior year. Scarlett’s boyfriend is killed in a motorcycle accident; then she finds out that she is carrying his baby. For the first time ever, Scarlett really needs Halley. Now Halley has to how to be strong for Scarlett. It won’t be easy, but Halley knows that she can’t let Scarlett down. Because a true friend is a promise you keep forever. ~~ This is definitely not a book review. I think I’m not good at it. I just realized while reading and after finishing it, that I can relate to the character of Halley. I remember when I was a kid, I don’t have a best friend to be called. There’s no kid in my h...

a tragedy

Two days after the horror storm “Ondoy”, while the Philippine authorities are still busy to the rescue operations and humanitarian assistance to those victims, I realized today how lucky I am and my family because we’re not one of them. Although, I also have to struggle to cross thigh-level floods and be stranded just to get home and that our workplace and the area where we live was also affected by floods, we’re still fortunate compare to those people who lost not just their homes but their loved ones. In times like this, Filipinos shows that bayanihan spirit still lives in each of us, no matter what’s their position in life, even the ordinary people, rich and famous artist tried to help in any way not just in monetary terms. Sad to say, those people that should be expected to be more helpful to those in need are not pre...
