Sorry

Jackie Chan is real classy guy.


He said that "HK is a nation built by a lot of different people. Don't worry, we do not hate!" Very touching! (though he received a lot of flak from saying that!)
Our officials really screwed big time, this time! It's hard to admit but it's true. I have supported PNOY and I still will but we just got to admit the lapses that happened last monday. It's disturbing. I don't know if HK people could still forgive us because frankly they have every right to get mad at us.
The truth is-- a lifetime might not be enough to apologize to them because lives have been lost. But we still should humble ourselves and admit our mistakes, learn from them and move on.
However, I plead to HK people not to vent their anger on our innocent workers in your country. They should not be the one to pay for our gov't's failure.
To Filipinos, yes, we screwed up but we can hopefully recover from this. God help us! 

"Every nation screws up. Sadly, it's our turn today.We will get over this. We have many more things going for us. We are capable of greatness and horror as every nation and people are. Our shadow, not our noble spirit is playing out right now. Tomorrow, we build anew (again) from the ruins. Do not lose hope. Let us learn from our dysfunctionalities and mistakes"
-- Jim Paredes

We are a great nation... We'll recover!!!

Best Revenge-- and that is...

Someone said that the best revenge is living well. I believe that with all my heart. Yes, I have been let down a few times- but I'm still here- in tact!! I will never allow myself to wallow in pain, hatred or misery. I'm a lot better than that. What I'm gonna do is be better, wiser and richer (hehehe!!!). With everything that has happened to me this past few years, I know I have emerged victorious. So I guess no matter what life throws at me, I will thrive. Because I am made of pure strength baby!!! God is with me now so I shall not fear!!! :)

Helping a friend

Today, I'm giving my best shot in helping someone pass the CIA exam. I know she can do it. She just got to keep on answering questions. Eventually, she'll get all the correct answers. She just got to have faith!!! Yesterday I really had the funniest night of my life. I met up with my dear buddies from shell. Arvin, Tere, Jack, Pau and Erik were present (jomi was busy with church activities). I was supposed to join them in their badminton game but I begged off. Anyways I was like 3 hours late. Hehehe.  We ate dinner (my 2nd for the evening, the 1st one was with a friend at Mr. Choi's kitchen) and laughed as if it were the last day of our lives. Then we proceeded to Starbucks to exchange stories and laugh some more. Erik brought a lot of chismis from Shell which made us utter nonstop-- "oh really?', 'wow', 'grabeh naman sila' etc..Hehehe.. We are such rumormongers. Sobrang babaw namin. Pero ang saya. Ah,...

We will have our company Christmas party on December 6. And just like any other Christmas party that we have had, we need to be in character. The theme for this year is:   Since I am from Finance and Admin group, on the night of December 6, at NBC Tent Global City, we get to be SUPERHEROES. And I decided to be THE BATWOMAN, not the batgirl but the BATWOMAN….. Hahaha. Because my teammates are going to dress up as Batman and Robin--I have to be the Batwoman, right? Effin' poetic!!!
