Seven things I hate about you

1. You make me feel the worst.

2. You make me laugh, you make me cry.

3. You don't socialize.

4. You're insecure.

5. Whatever I do isn't enough for you.

6. You blame or sue me for things I don't do. My family does that. I thought you knew me well enough?

7. You make me love you.

To be the Witch of Portobello

Okay, breathe.

I am totally loving my job! After I cried my heart out and took all the time in the world to think about things, the head of the Sales Dept said that I'll be handling consecutively all the accounts of the National Accounts Group, the most elite of the Sales groups, PLUS I get to do my own Marketing and Brand Activation activities without anyone stopping or limiting my ideas. I'm not out of Marketing after all! Plus I get to get all the perks that Splash Sales people get. Life's good, God's great.

First stop: SM Account. I haven't been sleeping well these past nights. I want to start with a blast. Sir Rico wants me to do Marketing programs per account that have never been done before. E ANO PA KAYA PWEDE?


I'm not giving up, though. I get too scared, sometimes, but it's at such moments that I discover a wisdom that is beyond me, and I go forward. Now it's my choices that would create my destiny.



SPEAKING OF choices, I recently chose not to fill my life with work and whatever it is that's been bugging my life. Paulo Coelho said: Relax and feel good. That is sometimes all we can hope for from this life. So I'm starting to reconnect with myself again, with my roots. I've been reading again and it feels soooo good. I feel enlightened everytime I end one and totally excited by the time I'm about to start a new one. I'm into arts again - photography, drawings, music, the works. I'm about to travel to Bacolod with my loves and I'm very excited about that. I'm going back to Cubao Ex again soon. I love it there. I feel like a different person there, and it's really liberating.

That's what everybody needs, I think. Liberation. Liberation from every rule that's been laid out by society.


When we dare to see things differently, life opens up to our eyes
