It was one of those days when I woke up feeling like a decade was added to my age. Grown up concerns, worries and fears are always the primary culprits of early aging, especially for the female populace. Despite knowing the root causes of everything, I keep depending on anti-aging products. :p I try different moisturizers to eliminate all the fine lines on my face. I do this even when I'm aware that facing my issues and letting go of unworthy concerns are the antidote to advanced aging. Okay, enough of my weekend rant. :)
The past week was challenging in so many ways. There were so much thoughts in my head. As always, much of it were induced by circumstances and people around me. Some years ago, I used to be the quiet person on everything. I'd rather bear the burden because I was afraid of conflicts. I had my own learning points so I transformed and became frank and opinionated. Never mind the after effects of raising my thoughts .... but not raising my voice. Hahahaha It's always a different story when someone begins to raise his / her voice. But another experience changed me again. These days, I realized that being silent seemed to have more benefits. With all the experiences, thoughts and opinions I have in mind, I sometimes feel that I could already deliver a TED talk. Hahahaha
A few weeks ago, I had an experience with someone who left words possessing an element of offensiveness. That someone pointed the behavior of some people, who refuse to render unpaid overtime or report to work hours before their official time. The exact words uttered was, mahiya naman kayo sa nagpapakain sa inyo. Whew! While that someone has the right to demand from subordinates, I don't like the choice of words and meaning behind. Just when I said that sometimes, it's better to hold on to my silence. But heck, receiving hurtful words make an exemption. Contradicting my own thoughts, remaining silent sometimes give an artificial right to other people to hurt us. But since I'm writing this experience, one can easily tell how the situation was handled. Yes, I was one of the many people who decided to remain silent. :p
Setting aside my scattered and complicated thoughts, here are the beautiful things that happened last week.
Default photo of the week - Half way of the year, I hope I can religiously make journal entries until December 2017. I'm running out of stickers but I don't want to splurge anymore. Also, some companies are starting to release their 2018 planners. I'm tempted to get a Kate Spade. But if Papemelroti will release another version, I might as well stick with a good old and affordable brand.
Finding some inspiration during mornings ... with my all time favorite Yakult :) But truth is, one bottle is always, NOT enough.
The book I've been wanting to finish, one of my Cath Kidston sale finds, a nice bargained top, and a recent discovery, Clinique Happy!!!! My friends have been telling me to try this scent. I don't regret trying it, but with its price ... this might be the first and last. Hahahaha
How to make the best weekend! Pizza from my Father's Birthday, favorite chichacorn from Binondo and wine to cap the night.
On a lighter note, Kris Aquino is giving me that much needed comic relief. Check out this job interview and our week as told by Kris. Jollibee also released a sequel to its commercial series about that guy who attended the wedding of his one great love. Apparently, there is a female BFF who has been loving Mr. Heatbroken. Surprise of surprises, my friends left negative sentiments for Mr. HeartBroken. #Rebound* Hahahaha I'll keep silent about my opinion. I'm quite sensitive and equally negative with such issue these days. HAHAHAHAHAHA
Another weekend has ended, another full week ahead. Breathe in,breathe out. There will be better days ahead. :)
*Thanks dear friends, I found the perfect title to my post. :D
First comment!
ReplyDeleteI agree ate. Remaining silent just encourages mean people to continue what they are doing. I have a similar experience in my current work. Napansin ko lang na nung nakipagsabayan nako tsaka sila bumait. AND about that heartbroken guy sa jollibee, asar na asar ako diyan. Tagal-tagal na niya may gusto ni di man lang pumorma formally, lahat puro pahapyaw! I think in real life, asadong-asado na din kasi si ate prior the ending.
D ba, bakit kelangan hintayin pa nila na "makipagsabayan" ka para bumait sila.
DeleteNasira din si heartbroken guy sa akin hahahaha so ngayon siya naman un nagpaiyak din pala
Whaaat?! Hindi ko pa napapanood ung sequel niyan na commercial! :O

Anyway, ganun talaga yung mga taong mababa ang EQ (about work)
I agree, sometimes silence is best, and other times speaking out in a polite way is best. I wonder what that bad or insulting phrase is that you included in your post, well, haha, I don't really want to know. I get your point. I love your photo vignettes as always.
ReplyDeleteHah! Na-expect kaya ng Jollibee na may mga violent reactions din dun sa sequel ng "Wedding" commercial nila? Haha. Daming hugot ng mga people about it eh.
