I received a message on my cellphone regarding some reward points that had apparently accumulated over several months of loading prepaid credits. I wasn't sure when the network I subscribed to introduced this reward program, or how many points I earned with each reload, but somehow I managed to accumulate 30 points. Filled with excitement about being part of a reward program, I texted the service number to inquire about the perks I could enjoy with those 30 points. To my delight, I discovered that I could register for a one-day unlimited texting service using those points. Without hesitation, fueled by my enthusiasm, I immediately registered for it. Now, I have the opportunity to engage with everyone in my phone book for an entire day. ^^

Dr. Pearl, Ikabud, and The 100-Peso Bill

Being confined to my house for over a week has started to fray my nerves. I never realized that doing absolutely nothing could be so stressful. This so-called "week off" from work has been nothing short of disappointing. Firstly, our technical training has been postponed for two frustrating weeks. Secondly, I won't receive any payment during this vacation period, and I'm in desperate need of some cash. The promised allowance will only be provided after the completion of the technical training, and these delays are depleting my reserve funds. Nevertheless, I made the decision to escape the confines of my home before I lost my sanity. I reached out to some of my friends from work and suggested meeting up at SM Clark. I emphasized that I simply wanted to hang out, with no particular purpose in mind. We could enjoy the mall's air conditioning, soak in the sights, and not spend a penny. I arrived at the mall with a mere 100 peso bill in my wallet, along with a few smal...

Her Birthday

Image
Today marks her 30th birthday. Her memory is etched deeply within me. She was the one who loved me wholeheartedly. She was the one who captured my heart and soul. She was the one who caused me immense pain. She was the one who nearly shattered me. She was the one who left me feeling like an empty shell. Each year on this day, I find myself immersed in a state of reminiscence, recalling all the moments we shared—both beautiful and painful. Unfortunately, those memories bring only anguish. The void she left behind remains unhealed. Every reminder of her relentlessly gnaws at me. I no longer feel alive, as she took a part of me with her, wherever she may be now. It has been almost a decade. I hope to navigate through this day without succumbing to foolish impulses...

Week Off

I recently completed the foundation training for a call center position I applied for. Out of the sixteen trainees, only six of us made the cut. The remaining ten were transferred to a different account. Our client happens to be a popular gaming console. Now, it's only logical that a company wouldn't invest time and resources in training just six individuals for specific product knowledge. So, we were informed that we would have to wait for the next batch of trainees. This meant we were given a week off. To most people, a week off would be a blessing, but for me, it's a bit of a challenge. Facing an entire week with not much to do fills me with dread. If there's a term for the fear of boredom, it certainly applies to me. Now, I'm contemplating my options. Spending a whole week at home... what should I do? Going out and about is out of the question because I'm trying to save money, and the scorching heat during this dry spell makes outdoor activities unbearable. ...
