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.

Warding Off the Monday Blues (NSFW)

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?

Tanong

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

The Haunting (A Re-Post Because Eternal Wanderer Is Gaya-Gaya)

I was lost in thought as I was walking around the neighborhood well past midnight. I have always taken pleasure in these midnight walks. The solitariness of this nocturnal activity has consistently provided a certain measure of comfort; the relaxed pace of the strolling helping to clear away the sticky cobwebs in my thoughts. This particular occasion was turning out to be no different from what I have done in the past. Or so I thought.

Isang Munting Wish (NSFW)

Tinananong  ng aking band of brothers kung ano daw ang wish ko.

Sabi ko, na kasama ko sila nung gabi na yun e wish enough na. Mababaw lang naman ang kaligayahan ko e.

Pero echuzerang froglette si Eternal Wanderer. Meron talagang syang gustong makasama nung gabing yun:

NSFW

Sana ako na lang yung twalya hihihihi

E kung sana sya yung kasama ko buong gabi, e di sana kumpleto kumpleto yung eve ng 27th b-day ko.

Oo, 27th b-day ko. Walang kokontra sa 27th, ok? HAHAHAHAHAHA

The Oddity of Triggered Memories

It was raining cats and dogs when I decided to take a look at my Facebook profile. I was surprised when I saw that someone tagged a few photos of me. It was an album of my last trip in Europe. Eying a particular picture, I noticed that the girls had earrings on their ears. That wasn't unusual since it was snapshot of our sound-check before a performance. What was weird was that I also had an earring still left on. I can't remember if I did use my earrings when singing onstage. There are a lot of stage no-no's in our group, and I'm almost sure that guys wearing earrings are one of them. Nonetheless, I think I was in the position of power enough to get away with those cosmetic infractions while performing. Besides, I would've threatened our manager that I'd go straight back home in the middle of a competition tour if he'd flag me down for wearing my earrings onstage.

Kasabihan ni Eternal Wanderer #1

Ang pride ay parang briefs.

Pag di binaba, magtititigan lang kayo at walang mangyayari!

Something to Think About #2

Kailangan mo ba ako dahil mahal mo ako,

o mahal mo ba ako dahil kailangan mo ako?

Nang Magmuni-muni si Eternal Wanderer Ukol sa Pakikipagrelasyon

1. Pag-like mo yung tao, kada text at tawag sa yo e kinikilig ka. Kung hindi mo sya type, makukulitan ka lang at mabubwisit eventually.

2. Wala sa "sinong ang mas nagmamahal sa relationship?" ang usapan. Nasa "how do we make it work ?" ang labanan.

3. That said, I've always believed that a relationship is a constant work in progress.  Parang sex lang yan. Minsan sya ang nagtratrabaho, minsan ikaw. Pero ang importante e kailangan pareho kayo nagtratrabaho at it. Masarap ang 69, di ba? lolz

Of Icings ang Cakes (A Re-post)

A friend of mine brought over a chocolate cake he bought from a grocery bakeshop. It was reputedly one of the best undiscovered cakes in town. Supposedly very much under-rated.

I opened the box. It did look good. The ganache was all dark and glossy. I couldn’t resist but take a swipe at the icing. Not too sweet. Good. Yummy.

Summer Statement

Ayoko na ng maiinit.

Ayoko nang mag-commute sa MRT 'pag summer!

NAKAKALUKEY!!!
