Good Job BonuSSS

-

The board members of SSS must have some twisted version of a score card. Each of them gets more than a million pesos worth of bonuses for their so-called “good performance”. Maybe the basis of their good performance is the number of disgruntled SSS members under them. The more pissed off the members are, the higher the bonus these assholes get.

My father passed away almost 10 years ago, and my mom is getting the pension from his SSS. Last year, she was informed that my dad had some contributions that were not included in the pension. Mom had to go to the nearest SSS office to submit some documents so they would recalculate the pension amount and give a retro pay for the earlier months. That was a year ago. Until now there’s still no word about the adjustment. I guess the greedy SOBs in the SSS board were too busy counting their bonuses to give a fuck.

For mosquitoes, blood serves as their sustenance. It is not the mosquito's fault that it feeds on blood; it is merely the way it was created. The mosquito remains oblivious to the dis...

Here we have another movie adaptation of a book, which seems to be the prevailing trend these days. Sometimes I ponder why anyone would bother buying a book when a movie version is soon to follow. A friend of mine has a habit of watching the movie first and then reading the book for comparison. I advised her not to bother because, more often than not, the book always surpasses the movie. Watching a movie based on a book is like witnessing someone else's interpretation of the story, and that someone has to alter the context significantly. It's understandable since Hollywood has its limitations, unlike the boundless realms of our imaginations. The film's producers can't faithfully replicate the book word for word due to constraints of budget and time. So here's my advice to you: If you're a fan of the book, stick with it. Don't expect the movie version to capture the essence of the book exactly as it is. I've been disappointed multiple times by this, parti...
