Common Sense… Is Not So Common After All!
While I was busy working online earlier tonight, a stranger started bugging me online. Here's a bridged/edited version of our chat... S(tranger): Hi! I don't know how to play DotA online. RJ: Go to GG Game: http://www.gg-game.com, download the GG Client, install, register, run the client, enter a room, then join a game. S: Where do I download? RJ: Thinks WTF?! Is he blind??? The website I directed him to looks like this... RJ: There's a download link on the site. S: Where? RJ: {RAWRRR!} Go to this link: http://www.gg-game.com/download.html S: What version do I download? RJ: {GRRR!} Here were his options... RJ: International version. S: {Finished downloading.} Do I just run the program? RJ: No. You have to install it, then register, then run the program, enter a room, and join a game. S: Nobody is creating a game. RJ: {Fed up with stupid questions and ignores the stranger. RAWRRR!}
Life = Work
November is almost ending. With that comes deadlines, and the pressure and stress of the Christmas season. Right now, my life is composed of work, work, and more work. Over at my main job as a Legislative Research Assistant, work is not so hectic. But there are days like today when there's so much that has to be accomplished. It's not a very demanding job but it requires a lot of thinking. With my second job as a Marketing Consultant, there's a lot of pressure right now. We have an event on December 8, and I haven't heard from any of the potential sponsors. BOOHOO! Plus, I have to regularly update our blog and always be on the look out for news regarding the industry. For the other company I'm consulting for, there's suddenly people interested in getting our services, but I'm not sure yet if my "boss" read my emails. Asan na kaya yun? AND as a professional blogger, I am seriously facing a mountain of things to do. First, of course is maintaining and updating my 11 blogs. Yup, yup... ELEVEN BLOGS! Add to that the twenty plus other blogs I am now tasked of writing for. Ang…
Dysmenorrhea + Allergies = TOTAL PAIN!
Wikipedia defines Dysmenorrhea as... ...cramps or painful menstruation, involves menstrual periods that are accompanied by either sharp, intermittent pain or dull, aching pain, usually in the pelvis or lower abdomen. I am currently experiencing the dull, aching pain type of dysmenorrhea. I would like to think my dysmenorrhea is classified as primary because secondary dysmenorrhea is usually due to some other illness. NOHOOO! Wikipedia also says that... An estimated 10 percent to 15 percent of women experience monthly menstrual pain severe enough to prevent normal daily function at school, work, or home. I have been experiencing dysmenorrhea ever since I started getting my menstrual period. There were times when the pain was intense enough to make me cry. Most of the time, I would have to go to the school clinic to lie down and rest. The school nurse would usually give me pain killers such as mefenamic acid and ibuprofen. In 2003, I suddenly developed an allergic reaction to mefenamic acid, ibuprofen, and even aspirin which would lead to itchy and unsightly bumps around my eyes like this. EW! So I contented myself with taking paracetamol everytime I would experience dysmenorrhea. Until... I also developed an allergic reaction to…
Another Break-Up Post
It has been said before... and no matter how hard we try not to make it true... it is a fact... Love is never enough. Two people can love each other sincerely and yet not be together... because we live in a world where distance matters, where time matters, where even money matters... work and stress take its toll, life happens... SHIT happens. No matter how much you try to make it work, it just does not happen the way you want it to happen. I do not feel bitterness, no more pain... only sadness. I was never angry, only frustrated. We didn't break up because of differences. It wasn't because of a misunderstanding. We just knew, understood that we would be better off without the relationship, without the commitment, without the expectations, without the complications. A lot of people never understood our relationship. It didn't make sense to them. But it did to us. And that's what mattered to us. But it became difficult... we didn't live in a bubble that rendered us immune to the realities, and holding on to the relationship became a struggle. But we are happy. It still doesn't make sense to most people, but…
Online Manito – Manita System
Every Christmas, us maternal cousins have the traditional bunot-bunot. There's 25 of us and it's quite expensive to buy gifts for each other. Since some of us are already based in Manila, the Kuya Andrew made a way for us to pick our manitos without having proxies. We used to have proxies for picking but this always led to arguments. HAHA! Last year and this year, Kuya had us all log in to http://www.alleba.com/manito, where we would see this... We would then key in our randomly assigned key code that we each received via email. After our code is confirmed, we'd press shake.... Nice, right??? The best feature of the entire thing, me thinks... is we get to make our own wishlist!!! So no more unwanted scented candles, picture frames, mugs, etc. Last year, I received a nice book from Kuya Jofer. Sana this year... may magbigay ng Moleskine. :D O diba??? Meron kayo niyan? :D
