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.

if not me, then who would be?..

An excerpt from the book Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen: Halley and Scarlett have been best friends ever since they met. Halley has always been the quiet one; Scarlett braver and more outgoing. 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

Things about Book Lovers

Some people never understand my fondness on reading a book. I even found myself keeping secret when buying books, making sure the price tag was neatly removed and receipts were put in trash.. it's because I had these feeling some people may not understand me spending money on books when there are more other things to be priorized or more valuable than it. Here are the list I think only book lovers would understand.. We know the uniqueness of a book. We know it will always be different than any other movie adaptation. It's not that we want to criticize those movies, we know that they had put a lot of work for that. They would never understand our disappointment when our expectations wasn't met after watching the movie knowing we had read the book. Having a hard copy.  Nowadays, reading any books you want is so easy thru ebooks, ipad, kindle, etc. I admit, I've been a fan of ebooks for some time, as my budget limits me from buying books most of the time.

bitter or what ?!..

Why does people can’t just be happy with other people’s achievements? Why they have to compare themselves to others if they didn’t get what they had expected? I just don’t get it!.. We had just received our performance rank for the last quarter of fiscal year 2011. A few days ago, it’s been a talk in our office. Everyone is a little bit excited about it because it has an equivalent performance incentive depends on your ranking. I didn’t expect anything because I don’t want to get disappointed again, just like what happened when they announced the benefits roll-out for the fiscal year 2012. One more thing, I didn’t expect anything because of what I have been through for the first quarter of FY 2011. I thought that it could have some impact on the performance ranking. Anyway, here’s the good news on my part. My supervisor congratulates me because I got a higher rank among the peer group compared last fiscal year. She was happy about it considering my warning status before. She s
