complicated. trying to be single when i'm attached. more of an introvert than an extrovert

i miss my ex. she was the best. never should have let her go...

don't be discouraged pag di kayo natatanggap sa mga ina-applyan niyong jobs. use it as motivation. kahit na meron akong postgrad degree, i was once declined a job in a local bank because of my failing grades, sabi sa akin ng interviewer "we don't accept people with failing grades in college or high school" so sinabi ko sa sarili ko "lalampasan ko kayo"

you don't learn everything in school, you need experience. schools will give you a foundation, nothing more, parka-graduate mo it's everybody for themselves.

don't be intimidated by people who have loads of academic degrees/designations pero walang experience. dami kong na-encounter na other nationalities who have 5 or 6 designations (CFA, ITIL, CISA, PMP, etc), with zero experience. so paginating nila sa workplace, it's all swagger but no substance. don't be fooled!

fave quote ko comes from my human anatomy professor:

"since today is Valentine's day, our topic for today is: anatomy of the female reproduction system"

would have wanted to study in:

AIM

University of Chicago

HKUST

INSEAD

circa 1992-1995 napapagkasya ko pa ang P100 a day. kasama ang pagkain, yosi, gas, parking, toll fees

para makatipid gumagawa ako ng sarili kong baon na sandwiches, yun na lang lunch ko tapos di alam ni dad para di bawasan ang allowance hehehe

for me, swimming did the trick.

pag pumupunta ako sa beach resorts, i make it a point to stay in the water for at least 3 hours, pag nasa beach, i usually do 100m laps dahil open water naman, nakakapagod kasi nilalabanan mo mga alon

pag sa swimming pool naman, di gaano nakakapagod but i still need to concentrate on keeping my body aligned

good workout

women na may maraming pubic hair, at may konting puson

yes i feel that way with my current gf. i just don't feel horny when i'm with her.

What if nagkatuluyan kami ng girl na niligawan ko nung college? nagkita kami nung isang buwan, she already has 2 kids. napag-isip ako tuloy kung ano ang magiging buhay ko kung di nya ako binasted at kami ang nagkatuluyan. magloloko kaya ako? pupunta ba ako sa mga spakol if we ended up with each other?

20 years out of college, she still looks as beautiful as before

it's because it's my refuge, i can be myself without getting judged

i have plantar fasciitis at chondromalacia patella, both knees

kinareer ang basketball eh

meron na bang effective na cartilage replacement/regeneration treatment ngayon?

Top 3 pet peeves:

1. tumitingin sa smart phone habang naglalakad instead of focusing on where he/she is going

2. mga ibang lahi na sobrang taas ng tingin sa sarili at mababa ang tingin sa pinoy

3. mga pinoy na sobrang mababa ang tingin sa sarili at sunod-sunuran sa ibang lahi kahit hindi nila boss.

perfectionist. hates irresponsible drivers and arrogant professionals. loner. i don't trust people easily and have only few friends, but i'd fight to the death for them - and my family - anytime.

sisig with egg + ice cold SMB light

i'm afraid of starting a family only to discover that i'm not built for family life

nemesis

1. Finance and IT consultant

2. early 40s
3. Middle East
4. masters degree holder

i've been working in the Middle East for almost 8 years now, been around Africa and Europe for work, but nothing beats staying in my own house in Manila, sleeping in my own bed, then i wake up to find my breakfast waiting for me... no place like home
