mixed emotions ba kamo?

i am so furious right now that i would gladly want to cut, slit, and slash his throat all at the same time with a cutter!


when i was applying for my dsl connection, the sales agent told me that they only need my ID for it to get approved. convenient, huh? now when i was browsing their website a few days after i got wired, i read that i am actually entitled to a free wifi modem. so i called up the sales agent and this was our conversation:


me: kuya, may free wifi modem pala yung plan ko?
sales agent (SA): ay opo ma'am. kaso kailangan pa po kasi ng proof of income kapag ganun eh.
me: bakit hindi mo sinabi nung nag-apply ako?
SA: actually ma'am dine-discourage na po namin mga clients kasi nga mas matagal ang processing kapag kailangan  niyo pang mag-produce ng proof of income
waaaaaat????
me: still, you should have told me!what if may proof of income ako dito?
SA: naku ma'am hindi na po pwede kasi na-approve na yung application niyo
tangnangsyet!
me: that's unfair!i am entitled to that and you should have informed me so i would have produced the necessary documents!
SA, cutting me short from my impending rants: ma'am bumili ka na lang, ang kuripot mo naman
me: *censored*  he received a good amount of swearing from a smorgasbord of expletives that i am sure was his first time to hear such words


and we are not done yet, jerk. because tomorrow we will see each other in your manager's office.

my lilttle steps at photography





of honest people and their families


sometime ago there was jun lozada.now its george rabusa and heidi mendoza on the hot seat. all three exposed  corruption in the government, risking their families' lives in the process. im sure there are a lot more public servants out there who did the same. they may not be as prominent as these people but they all had a common goal, and that is to rid the evils of government. hoping that their sacrifices will somehow result to a more dignified bureaucracy. as i watched the evening news, i cant help but admire mendoza for her dedication to public service especially when she said that she is only accountable to the filipino public and no one else. thank you, ms. mendoza. as a taxpayer myself, i must say i deeply appreciate your efforts. giving justice to our hard earned money. on the other hand, i myself feel like i sacrificed some things for my family while i was still in government, but that is panis compared to what you're doing right now. i can only imagine what you are going through, having the kind of stress i felt, only that yours is a thousand times over.i pray for you and your family, that someday you will lead a normal life again.


welcome to my world, Ma


ever since i started work at home, my mom has since heard me talk to clients, argue with courier staff and saw me walk like a zombie during production period. during these times, she is ever supportive. cooking meals, fighting the urge to nag me about my disastrous room and even arranging for my laundry to be washed. in between these periods, she has also been one of the people who were unwillingly dragged to check out a far-flung beach just to satisfy my urge for adventure. she was consistently complaining while on the way, but when we got to our destination, she screamed with us in delight when we first saw the crashing waves in surip. way to go, Ma!wanna go ziplining with us next? :)
