Ang Tagumpay ni Eternal Wanderer

Eto na naman ako, nalulungkot ng husto. Bakit naman daw? Kasi bothered na bothered ako sa post ni Madame Chuni. Ayun sa nailathala,

"Sabi ko nga, ipasa ko na lang kaya ang crown kay Ternie, kay Carrie o kaya ay kay Bien.




Disqualified daw.




Wala daw 'busilak' factor ang mga bakla. Puro press release lang daw yung mga 'dalisay kyeme' ng tatlo but not an ounce of truth."

"It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes.

But the half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor."

The House of Sisig

What immediately strikes a person when he enters at Trellis at their QC branch is the laid-back atmosphere of the restaurant. It has a very casual, almost a home-like feel to it. Very familiar, too, are the faces of the waiters. Some of them have been with the establishment for a good decade or more; seeing them again brings a sense of nostalgia that is etched in memories.

La Commencement Était la Fin

The reality was all but an illusion.

For my heart, it was all-too real - the emotions were true, the emotions were honest.

Kasabihan ni Eternal Wanderer #2

Popular saying:

Are You a Gay?

Nakakaloka minsan pakinggan ang mga utaw sa opisina pag nasa telepono sila. Ok lang sana kung mga minor mix-up ng vowel pronounciation kagaya ng confeerm (IPA i) vs. confirm (IPA ɜ). O kaya mga nagsasabing "Is it i-snowing there?" O meron ding "Thankz for calling (insert account name). Kalokah! Naka-liason pa talaga yung "s" sa "f"?!

Ang Pagkatameme ni Eternal Wanderer

Hango sa isang telephone conversation ni Ternie't si Lalaki:

Lalaki: *buuuuurp*
Ternie: Eeeeeew you burped! Gosh, say "excuse me" naman noh!
Lalaki: Sinubo mo na ako't lahat-lahat. Mag-e-excuse me pa ba ako sa yo?

(Ternie is stunned silent by the non-sequitur logic of Lalaki.)

Ternie:  So...kelan ka ulit pupunta dito?

Ayun na o! PAK!

Just Between You and Me

Carrie, Docu-Style: A Night-Out

"Ternie, will you be coming?"

I read the text with sleep in my eyes. Time read 8:30 p.m. I was supposed to be at his office by that hour. But here I was, still groggy and half-asleep in my bed. Besides, it was Saturday. I'm not one to really go out on my rest days. Considering it was an extremely hectic week at work, I deserved to sprawl on the bed to my heart's content. No, make that, I earned the right to sprawl on the bed to my heart's content.

Yet I dragged myself out of bed, and hit the shower.

Because I was to meet-up with Spice.

Sin Series 1: The Sin of Envy (1)

Envy (also called invidiousness) is best defined as an emotion that "occurs 

when a person lacks another's (perceived) superior quality, achievement, 

or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it."

- from Wikipedia

A couple of months ago, I committed the sin of envy.

As I saw the certificates being handed out to some of my colleagues, I asked myself, why am I not receiving those? My stats were well above average. I'd even like to think I was among the top people on the floor. Yet, why didn't I get any of those certificates?

Eternal Sunshine of a Cluttered Mind

Several goals for this year:

1. Avail of the trainings offered by the company. Libre naman e. Up for January: Time Management, Conflict Management, and *gasp* Grammar Refresher teehee

2. Learn to save. At least 5K every cut-off.

3. Spearhead/be involved with more projects in the office. Pampakapal ng resume din.

Some day, when I'm awfully low, 

When the world is cold, 

I will feel a glow just thinking of you... 

And the way you look tonight.

A Post Laced with Anger and Dripping with Bitterness

You.

Yes, you.

This post has been sitting in my draft for a month or two already. I would've posted it, save for the fact that I was on blog hiatus in the interim. But for what's it worth, here it goes.

Fuck you.

There are no good or bad decisions in life.

What matters is how you react to the outcome.

A Journey That Both Ends and Continues

Not so long ago, someone pointed out that the name and the URL of my blog go hand in hand together. To be honest, I never intended them to be that way. They were created out of a whim, with no underlying implications whatsoever. But I do remember the time Bonbon snarkily retorted that the URL rather erred on the pretentious side.

Well, it is my blog, Bonbon. And I'm very much entitled to name it as I want and write stuff as I want, am I not?

Sagot (Sa Ibang Tanong)

^Travis has a very interesting post over here. It's a fun geometric problem that calls for a two-part  proving - but let me just tackle the first part. It states that if given three sides of a right triangle with the expressions n²+ 1, n² – 1 and 2n (where n > 1), what expression represents the hypotenuse of the right triangle?

Is it better to be honest or is it better to be kind?
