Maldita Quotes

I was doing some unwinding this morning but the aura that was released from me was not good. I feel so angry and frustrated but the feeling was soooooooo great. har har har   so evil!

Haven't released some angst lately.

Here are some maldita quotes that lurked in my head.
  1. If there is someone who is not worth it to be here, it would be you.
  2. At least, I am not chosen because there is no any other options to choose from.
  3. If I were you, I'll keep my feet on the ground. You don't have anything to brag about.
  4. If you can't do it then say no. Once you have accepted it, don't whine.
  5. Don't claim you're innocent. You're dirtier than what you utter other people are.
  6. No man is an island. But no man needs a b**ch like you.
  7. Oh, you were saying something?! I thought it was "Blah, blah, blah, zip!"
  8. Oh, sorry. Were I talking to you?
  9. Your conscience took a leave and I was the substitute.
  10. Like what they say, loud people have empty brains.

wihihi i feel like doing a part two of this post.

What duh?!

Every year, my work evaluation is conducted every May and November. It was supposedly 2 weeks before but I did not received any notice from our HR. I was thinking it was delayed because maybe there are a lot of tasks on queued just like before.

And so, to do my part, I emailed Ms. Mae to remind her about my evaluation. She was in mid-shift today that is why it was already after lunch when she approached me about the matter.

To my surprise, it wasn't my evaluation yet. It would be conducted on February next year because she said, my last evaluation was approved last August and so the 6-months count would only start on that month.

OMG!!!

Surely, I was GREATLY disappointed . I was expecting for an increase for months now and it will not happen.

My plans for the coming holidays had been devastated.

Wished they had clarified that to me when they conducted my work evaluation last August. From the previous HR's, even if it was delayed by a month, the count would still be from May and November.

Darn!

Gotta do some major change of plans(you are included there kuya abet hehe ). tsk!

Well, just a happy 2nd year for me.

Fruit of My Labor

Just got back to my station from BPI. I overtook my break for about 30 minutes but its worth it.

After numerous plans of opening a savings account and several attempts of getting requirements, finally, I was able to open a bank account. I've been longing for this for the longest time in my life. But because i am somewhat wasteful in handling money sometimes or some circumstances arrive, my mission always failed.

But today was not an ordinary day.

*** drum rolls ***  

For today... was day...  that I have fulfilled one of my goals!

Woo hoo! I am so happy. 

Ms. Vilma (not Santos) assisted me with my account opening. She was accommodating and very kind but due to the fact that she was multi-tasking, it took me almost an hour to finish my transaction.

I opened Express Teller Savings account with the amount of

*** drum rolls ***

... P500.00  rofl!

My ATM card will be released tomorrow if there will be no problem in fabrication(?) or if I there is no account holder name like mine. Tomorrow, I'll be heading back to take the price of my hard work. The 500 pesos fruit of my labor.

hahahahhahahhaha

Crisis Era

In our forum, one of the topic was "Hirap ng buhay..nararamdaman nyo na ba?".

Definitely yes. As days gone by, it's getting harder and harder to budget our money for our needs and other expenses. Sometimes, we came to the point that we need to borrow money from others just to meet the budget. I earn above average every month but still, it seems not enough.

Someone once told me that "the higher your salary does not qualify you in living a better life. the higher your salary gets, the more you tend to have a more luxurious life."

If you earn 10k yesterday and earn 20k today and you are still broke then maybe it's not the amount in the paycheck that is your problem, but the factors that surrounds your spending of money.

According to kiyosaki, "it's the lack of financial education that keeps poor people poor and become poorer".

A need is a need, but a want is something else. if someone has been deprived of something, the more he longs for that something. and when he got the chance to get that something, he grabs it. the problem is when to stop wanting something and when to know if we have crossed the borderline.

the poor gets poorer because they have been deprived of the things the average/rich people has so when he had the chance, he tends to be drown into the realm of unwanted buying. he says i have the money now and i want it. over and over until he can't stop his self. when should they stop?

A need shouldn't be taken off priority and never should be. the hardest challenge in having money is the self-control over the wants. is it a "when question" or "should i" ?

People have different priorities but we all have the same denominators. we all have basic needs. the difference, how we prioritize these needs.

I am guilty of improper money handling. Sometimes, though i have allocated a part of my money, still i am able to pull it off. What i do is to separate these and keep it somewhere else. I am not a shopaholic person so I don't waste money in clothes and stuffs. But I am a gluttonous person with a big, stretchable tummy :P. I eat and eat and eat, though eating is a need sometimes i get extravagant on what i eat and where to dine. It doesn't matter if i don't have new clothes for as long as I have dined to anywhere i want.

And because it is crisis, i am more pressured in tight-budgeting especially now that my brother is in high school. I try to maintain balance in spending. Mind over matter, that's what all is saying.

I don't buy stuff that i don't need even if i find something useful. I don't go with the trend. I am not a techie person. I am a very spendthrift when it comes to material stuffs. I don't fall for people teasing or luring me to new things.

To survive nowadays is to stay away from temptations. And if you are surrounded with such, you'll need a lot of courage to fight it and a strong discipline in yourself.

T10: Personal Commandments

The morning rush top ten topic today inspired me to write.

The topic was about your personal commandments. It was sort of guidelines you believe and/or follow. So far, I only have 5.
Ready?

1. Though shalt NOT borrow money you can't pay just for gambling or buying unnecessary stuffs. Some people work hard you know.
2. Though shalt NOT butt-in matters of others that don't concern you. You would only cause confusion and misunderstandings.
3. Though shalt NOT waste other people's time making them wait during an important appointment. Even VIPs don't have the right to make other people wait.
4. Though shalt NOT ignore rules. They are made to keep things organized and proper.
5. Though shalt ALWAYS listen when someone is to the one talking to you especially when it is something important or when someone is trying to do some explanation and directions.

I'll post my other 5 as soon as I have think of something.
