Status Quo

Facebook says, "What's on your mind?". Twitter says, "What's Happenning?". Social networking sites or not an opinion is one's opinion, let's respect that. No one as in no one is forcing anybody to take part to one's own opinion especially if you just gonna say sh*t. Answer this: will you get paid answering posts?. That's what they wanna talk about, that's their deal; Always remember just seven letters R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

Sand Blasting

My mind is working overtime…everytime…, knots and knots of endless traffic of words. Emotion, action, sour grapes, machines, leisure, etc. I used to own a journal back in grade school, but when a monstrous female classmate read mine in-front of everyone my world crumbles and vowed to never ever own one again until the birth of notes application in cellphones.

I have trouble sleeping or keeping anything in focus if I don’t write it down, so my phone doubles as my journal. Every now and then I put something there coming from my clogged mind. Plans, play, workout, quotes, overheard words, everything. Then came Friendster a social networking site, everyday sometimes every minute my shout out is jammed with thoughts that sometimes I’m the only who can understand it. Then I switched to Facebook partly because of the games and the chat capability, I have Twitter too, and this blog.

I’m a quiet person, and me saying all these, you probably won’t believe me, ask around and you’ll see. I have to say whatever I feel or else I go crazy, in this case, typing it. I do have experiences that when I say something, someone surely will be offended, so I try to keep my big mouth shut and fled to blogging town. I don’t wanna say something when I’m angry (face to face) or else be sand blasted by words.

The Office Superstars

I’ve been working since I was a kid, as a delivery boy. When I reached high school, I started installing products and everything else that concerns our family business. When I received my driver’s license, I turned into a motorized delivery boy and everything else. I encountered every obstacle imaginable; irritating customers, wise-cracking suppliers, cheating business partners, and those who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. I worked at different offices as I age, different companies, different people.

Over the years I developed a skill of reading a person, ‘profiling’ as what others call it. It keeps me out of trouble, but if can’t be avoided I know where, when and how to strike; because I already know who you are and what you can do, hence ‘profiling’.

I’m not writing this to boast. I’m doing this to share something, share what you already know but can’t decipher on your own on as to who they are and what they’re dealing with. Remember, they are your co-workers and you can’t do anything about them unless your boss fires them.

Meet the office stars.

1. The Pathological Liar (PL). They will contradict what they say. This will become very clear over time. They usually aren't smart enough to keep track of so many lies (who would be?). This can be almost anyone. You already met one I’m sure and everybody hates him/her (sometimes secretly) for a variety of reasons. This people are also known as “Posers”, people who tell something they’re not just to fit in society. They’ll lie about their hobbies, family, what they own, abilities, etc. I met one who lie to almost everything…super long story and I don’t want my fingers to bleed while typing.

2. The Reporter. He/She has lots of friends, including the bosses. I call him/her Motor mouth, because you consider them as a real friend you discuss things, share secrets, share problems, share disgusts with other people, work related problems and whatnot; and everybody knows it not just the reporter but everyone, they know everything about you including the name of your pet.

3. The Barrel. He/She it doesn’t matter, it’s everyone’s friend especially if you drink with them. We all know that work sucks, big time. So what we do with our salaries is to reward ourselves with something to ease the pain of working; shoes, bags, movies, food, vehicles, travel, top of the line gadgets, others like to just save up incase something happens and you need cash or for some other reasons that we humans have. Mr. and Mrs. /Ms. Barrel here like to do one thing, save up for beer. Even if it’s not pay day these folks after shift would go to a watering hole and enjoy the Barrel family. They’re normal people, with normal lives, aside from one thing; they run from their frustrations, their own problems, their own lives. They rather go and drink up as much as they can than go home to their families and enjoy their company and face whatever there is to face. The Reporter, OL, Barrel, SL, Agent Numb 01 and User Interface are here also, they’re one big happy God forsaken family.

4. Agent Numb 01. They are the weak hearted individuals who enjoy the company of the five office stars. They’re numb to the bone. They can copy the five office stars characteristics, as they breathe it in and out of their system. They have problems of their own and they know what solution to take, and especially they know how and why it started. They don’t appreciate things as normal people do.

5. The Sympathy Liar (SL). These people won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. They’ll say things to you that they don’t even mean just to get what they want and to take the arrows of flaming blame out of their poor sap faces. They instantly forget what they have said to you, to your co-workers, to your boss because of their thousand storey high egos blocking human sanity. Their words contradict to what they mean.

6. User Interface. Like Agent Numb 01, the characteristics of the five can be channeled to their small brains. They will use you to gain advantage of something they want to get ahead of and some. End of story.

The best offenses with these fools are to laugh at them, smile at them, and show them how happy your life is without them. Whatever you and your real friends talked about, shared about, believe me once they heard of it they’ll think it’s them. Knowing how guilty they are of what the hell they do is priceless.

Meet Food Ninjary

I've been under the knife twice, the first one was in 2004, and the second, 2010; for the same reason...cholesterol. I'm not that fat, I don't weigh 300lbs or more, but I'm overweight and lacks exercise. You see, I'm obsessed with food. Not in a bad way, I do not hoard food just for my own consumption. I cook. My friends cook. My girl cook. My family cook. All good food, so hard not to taste all of 'em. Tasting becomes eating becomes gorging becomes stacking becomes "The Fatness Sickness". Obesity on the other hand is different.

The Fatness Sickness has been my friend since college. It helped cope up with homework, stress, and everything else.

I'm forgetting her now, I don't like her anymore, without her I feel more energized. Oh, and I don't smoke anymore too, I drink...occasionally. I'm riding my bike more, and I have a new friend, her name is "Food Ninjary". It's not that easy to get along with her though, it might take up time to get to know her but I'll walk you through.

No cakes. No chocolate. No crisps.

That simple. You don't have to really eliminate them entirely because I know and you know that they are our bestfriends, but our bestfriends are connected with Fatness Sickness mafia family. Just put a day in a month for you to be with our bestfriends and everybody happy. Exercise more, whether it be biking, mountaineering, brisk walking, running, jogging, etc. it's up to you, Food Ninjary will help you achieve wellness again.
