Give me a break. Rant.

The thing is I don't usually answer back to people. Not that I get complaints often but you know! I actually rarely answer back. It's either I'm sure that I am right or I think that I am mostly right. The point is! There are just some people I can't stand anymore. Let me just share some of my internship experiences. Can I just say that lately, I get really pissed off easily by stuff. And it's not just me. Ha! In Histopath section, we actually get to extract from our patients' and that means we actually have to deal with the relatives. Which I hate by the way. If you don't know already. I have three stories to tell you. Just so you would be able to figure out what I am trying to tell. First. This happened during the morning pick-up. If you don't know what that is, it's when we extract blood from the patients' every morning for their laboratory exams and all that stuff. Okay so let's start for real with the first case. ...

Jeepney Rant.

Image
source I know jeepneys are convenient and all that but sometimes I don't really understand. Okay maybe not the jeepney itself. The people, the driver, everything else. It's just so annoying sometimes. Like, really. Let me just point out some of the things that I hate about riding a jeepney. 1. I hate it when the people would extend their arms and address it to the driver when it's obviously not feasible for the driver to get their fare directly. Ano ba naman yung sabihin mong paki-abot diba? It really annoys me when people would say "bayad mama" and then put their arms in my front and don't say anything after that. So ako na pala yung driver? I mean, as a normal human being, hindi po hahaba yang kamay mo. So say "pakiabot" naman. 2. This is kind of related to the first one is that when you obviously made an effort na iaabot yung bayad sa driver and then this person who asked for your help don't even say thank you. Like, are you seriou...

UST Student Jumped.

Image
It's kind of insensitive of me to talk about this but I don't know how to express this feeling I have for what have happened. Recently, a 3rd year UST Biology student "jumped" off the 4th floor of the Main Building that resulted to his death. They tried to rush him to the hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Well, we all know that there's a very little chance of survival but I'm glad they tried. I don't know how much of what I'm gonna tell you is true because I don't know him personally or whatever. Rumor has it that his dad died recently and his mom is suffering from leukemia. Quite a big deal. And I also heard that he failed 24 units of his subjects. Well, that's quite a lot really. But not enough for him to end his own life. NEVER ENOUGH. SAD. We all have different ways on how we carry our problems and stuff. TRUE. But thinking about it, it's kind of selfish of him to do that. Her mother is ill already and by ac...

Marry Your Daughter?

NO THANKS! :) First of all, it's the vaguest title ever invented in the music industry. Next to a whole bunch of course. I mean, what's up with SHINee's Ring Ding Dong? Well, at least it doesn't actually mean something. Or is it a telephone ringing, doorbell, or what? See, unlike this one which kind of gives us an idea that they're actually promoting a dad to marry his daughter. Are they promoting incest or what? GROSS! That's why I kind of hesitated to listen to it when almost all the YouTube community made a cover of the song and I kept thinking why on earth are they buying it? And what the hell is going on? And stuff like that. Until there was a particular cover in which I was tempted to listen to (local celebrity kids) and actually, I realized that it doesn't literally mean to marry your daughter. Which made me pissed off even more. Like, what the hell? Is it gonna cost them extra 100 thousand dollars if they gonna include "I'M GONNA...

NoKor is shitty.

Way back 2008, I was having a vacation in Japan when some fvckery happened. There were helicopters and shit all over Japan and it was just so crazy. No peace of mind at all and all that stuff. What's wrong with North Koreans? And I happened to live near an American Navy Base so that was double the fun. Apparently, they want to do it all over again. It's because of a celebration of who? Kim Il Sung. The grandfather of the current leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un. Or Kim Un Jong. Whichever is right. And he said that the missile thingy that they'll launch anytime now is a gift for his late grandfather. Yeah, if I were dead, I want a missile as a gift too, of course. That's what all normal people should think of as a "gift" to their grandfathers. Please take note. Just so you'll get something from this blog post, they names the missile thingy "UNHA". Ugly name. Now, Japan, including South Korea this time, are willing to counteract ...

A comparison.

Image
PHILIPPINES VS JAPAN Let me just make it clear that I am in NO way degrading one country or another. I love them both. It's just that there are really some things which I can't tolerate.  As you probably don't know (how would you know?), I am half Jap - half Fil so I have all the rights to brag and say whatever I want to say. Or maybe not. Maybe I just have all the rights because it's my blog. HA! DOUBLE THE PRICE. I actually don't now where to start this analysis. MESSY ANALYSIS. LET'S START WITH SOMETHING THAT WE CAN'T CHANGE.  THE WEATHER: In 270 degrees of the circle, Japan's weather is WAY TOO BETTER than in the Philippines. And Philippine weather is 270 degrees worst. Although Japan's summer is generally worst than the Philippines. Oh! Not quite. The night is still somehow tolerable whereas in the Philippines, it's a war between the person and the electric bill (AIRCON MANIA). But I'd still give the summer credit ...

SRSLY?

It's not that I have anything against people asking for alms. It's just that it's really inappropriate sometimes. Like in this particular post. I go to school by myself. No driver, no one. If you happen to go to the same path as I do, you've probably noticed that guy near 7/11 that's like always there early in the morning asking for alms. I was like, okay, kind of old to work (can!). He's been there ever since I can remember (2008). I apologize for missing minute details about life. Recently, I've noticed that his arms are full of TATOOs. And you best believe I was mind fcked. Like, seriously. I was like, was he a criminal? Tattoo addict? Whatever, whatever? I mean, if he was a criminal, then who the F is he to ask for people's money? Why? In theory, he probably did it the hard way before that's why he was on jail the first place. If you ask me, it's a lot better than stealing/snatching/hold-upping people of course. But seriously...

Talk2Globe is a joke. RANT!

Image
Are you kidding me? DON'T! March 21, around 3 pm. I went to Globe Business Center SM San Lazaro to have a SIM replacement. Why? Because there's still no current solution for BB 4.11.08 so I decided I'll just use the spare phone here so I'll be a little bit more useful. And easier to contact. The problem is iPhone 4's SIM is not the same size as the normal SIM and the spare phone here has the normal SIM tray. I can't be bothered changing my number. It's too much to ask. I don't want to inform my friends/colleagues that I'll be using a temporary number because you know. PEOPLE ARE LAZY SOMETIMES. The lady there was nice and all that. I didn't have to pay for anything and she told me that the activation should take within 1-2 hours. ALL GOOD. I went home and kind of only remembered to put the SIM about 5 hours after. It doesn't have a SIGNAL. GREAT! I then thought that maybe time starts after you insert it and all that stuff. So I wa...

Overheard. Jeepney convo.

Image
Awhile ago when I was riding a jeepney on my way home, there's this couple (I think but I doubt as well) that rode the jeepney about 20 mins. away from my destination. It's not that I want to listen to them. They're like sitting in front of me so I can't help it. You want to know what their topic was? CELLPHONES. The girl was surprised that the guy has two phones. She was like "oh! you have two phones! I didn't know that." and the guy sarcastically said "no, three." It's a Filipino way of like whatever-ing and it's fcking annoying. And then the guy said "that's because I'm a spoiled kid" and I was like WTF? He didn't even look like he took a shower for like a week and he's gonna brag about it? Give me a break. Plus! his phones aren't that great. Not great at all. The girl then told him something about their school play and stuff like that but this guy doesn't seem interested and just continued ...

Bloody flood

Image
Hello from my feet I hate it when it's flooding even though there's no reason for flood to happen. For some stupid reason, this morning when I was on my way to the uni, it's flooding everywhere like near my home. What a mess. Apparently, I think a pipe from the water supplier broke and voila! Flood. What a waste of water. Don't you know that it's a non renewable natural resource? And then they're gonna say that there's no water here and there well in fact, you have an under quality pipes that are easily broken and what? You're gonna let us pay for that shit again? Wow. Thanks. And when I got home, apparently, literally, we have no water supply at home and all that should be in our home is flowing in the flood. Shame on you water companies. Like I see this everywhere. I mean, broken and fountaining water pipes.

Uniform pet peeves.

Image
BELOVED. I am a Medical Technology student from the University of Santo Tomas and as a student of the said faculty, I have to wear white. Now when I was still a freshman, people in the neighborhood asked me a lot on what course I am taking up and the worst part is, they answered their question. WTF? Why ask? Neighbor: What course are you taking? Nursing? Me: Medical Technology. I don't live in a secluded area so expect that I have like 20 or more neighbors who came and asked me. Why bring up things that happened in the past, you ask? Because awhile ago, an unknown guy was like Unknown guy: Hi nurse!  Like, WTF man? I ignored the guy anyways. The fact that he don't know that I am not a nurse in any means, then he's not worth my time. And it's not like I stopped getting this kind of question. Seriously. Let's get this clear though, I have nothing against nursing students and all that. I know that it's common for nursing students to wear wh...

LRT Pet Peeves

Image
I really hate it/can't understand why hardcore tomboys (not hating) are still riding in the women section of the LRT (Light Rail Transit). I mean, the fact that you've at least decided that you like girls better than guys and that you dress up as guys, then I don't see any reasons why you still have the right to ride that particular section. I mean, don't call me a hater because I'm gonna be more than okay if ladyboys are gonna ride in that section but tomboys in the WOMEN section? Seriously? No way! I've seen so many of them and I'd be like "why is he riding here?" and of course by then I'll notice their barely hidden boobies (bigger than mine). Apparently, he's a 'she'. And that pisses me off. I know it's more convenient and stuff, but for once, stand up for what you believe you really are. Are you confused of your identity or what? Need to be enlightened? You might say I'm judging but let me tell you a st...

Crumpled money.

Image
I really really really hate crumpled money It's one of my many pet peeves. If you know Philippine money, they're not quite that proper and it will not hold its shape after folding and whatever like that. It's vulnerable like shit and PEOPLE! It's our duty to preserve its shape by not doing anything like crumpling it or putting it in our pocket carelessly. It's true that we'll spend it anyway so why do we have to take proper care of it, right? Logically speaking, and as a personal point of view and experience, I have this thinking that it's harder to spend new paper money than that of crumpled. Why? Because paper money seems like trash and we want to get rid of it. If you have like perfectly ironed money and when you look at it, it's something you want to have longer and not to spend it right away buying non-sense. My cousin went here yesterday and she was like putting money inside her purse and I was like "I hate crumpled money" an...

So posh!

Image
So! The other day when I was riding a jeepney back home, well it always happens but this is like the first time I noticed stuff. A little boy went up the jeepney and gave each passenger an envelope. When he was done, he wet to the back most part of the jeep (in relevance to the driver) and sat to the stepper (?). I was sitting at the back most part seat too. He started singing. Or is that even what you call it. I tell you, I can hardly hear it so what more the people sitting near the driver. Then I noticed his hair color. Well little boy, you're not supposed to color your hair when you're asking for people's money. What about food? What about your clothes? It's sad that they have to spend the money they get from people in such a way. I feel like the people should know the truth or something. Alms for my hair root maintenance please. Alms for my hair highlights please. Alms for my hair this, hair that. Don't get me wrong though! I know it's their right to do...

How important is a “thank you”?

Image
I cannot stress enough its importance, that is how important it is for me. I had this experience when I was still in the Call Center and it really drove me crazy for a second. I did someone a favor (closed the deal for him) and he did not even bother to say “thank you” voluntarily? Ha! I was waiting for it and initiated that he should say “thank you” and yeah he said “thanks”. A lame kind of “thanks” but anyways, it happened. Forgiven not forgotten. It is just that we should not let someone do something good for us and make them feel like it is a wasted effort or that we do not appreciate a single fvck they are giving. We should be more civilized in that manner. Give it a try. It does not hurt much. Is it not good to have someone help us or cheer us up and then thank them for that? I guess they would be happy too. There is no greater feeling than the feeling of being appreciated. You know that. Or at least second best. Or third. I do not care actually but you get the point...
