21 Utos ni Bob Ong

I just can't help it.. I need to post this..


Realistic..


Bold..


It hurts but hell it's so true!


Here You Go:


21 Utos ni Bob-Ong


1. “Kung hindi mo mahal ang isang tao, wag ka nang magpakita ng motibo para mahalin ka niya.”


2. “Huwag mong bitawan ang bagay na hindi mo kayang makitang hawak ng iba.”


3. “Huwag mong hawakan kung alam mong bibitawan mo lang.”


4. “Huwag na huwag kang hahawak kapag alam mong may hawak ka na.”


5. “Parang elevator lang yan eh, bakit mo pagsisiksikan ung sarili mo kung walang pwesto para

sayo. Eh meron naman hagdan, ayaw mo lang pansinin.”


6. “Kung maghihintay ka nang lalandi sayo, walang mangyayari sa buhay mo.. Dapat lumandi ka din.”


7. “Pag may mahal ka at ayaw sayo, hayaan mo. malay mo sa mga susunod na araw ayaw mo na din sa kanya, naunahan ka lang.”


8. “Hiwalayan na kung di ka na masaya. Walang gamot sa tanga kundi pagkukusa.”


9. “Pag hindi ka mahal ng mahal mo wag ka magreklamo. Kasi may mga tao rin na hindi mo mahal pero mahal ka.. Kaya quits lang.”


10. “Kung dalawa ang mahal mo, piliin mo ung pangalawa. Kasi hindi ka naman magmamahal ng iba kung mahal mo talaga ung una.”


11. “Hindi porke’t madalas mong ka-chat, kausap sa telepono, kasama sa mga lakad o ka-text ng wantusawa eh may gusto sayo at magkakatuluyan kayo. Meron lang talagang mga taong sadyang

friendly, sweet, flirt, malandi, pa-fall o paasa.”


12. “Huwag magmadali sa babae o lalaki. Tatlo, lima, sampung taon, mag-iiba ang pamantayan mo at maiisip mong hindi pala tamang pumili ng kapareha dahil lang maganda o nakakalibog ito. Totoong mas mahalaga ang kalooban ng tao higit sa anuman. Sa paglipas ng panahon, maging ang mga crush ng bayan nagmumukha ding pandesal, maniwala ka.”


13. “Minsan kahit ikaw ang nakaschedule, kailangan mo pa rin maghintay, kasi hindi ikaw ang priority.”


14. “Mahirap pumapel sa buhay ng tao. Lalo na kung hindi ikaw ung bida sa script na pinili niya.”


15. “Alam mo ba kung gaano kalayo ang pagitan ng dalawang tao pag nagtalikuran na sila? Kailangan mong libutin ang buong mundo para lang makaharap ulit ang taong tinalikuran mo.”


16. “Mas mabuting mabigo sa paggawa ng isang bagay kesa magtagumpay sa paggawa ng wala.”


17. “Hindi lahat ng kaya mong intindihin ay katotohanan, at hindi lahat ng hindi mo kayang intindihin ay kasinungalingan.”


18. “Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, huwag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo.
Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit?
Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo!”


19. “Pakawalan mo ung mga bagay na nakakasakit sayo kahit na pinasasaya ka nito. Wag mong hintayin ang araw na sakit na lang ang nararamdaman mo at iniwan ka na ng kasiyahan mo.”


20. “Gamitin ang puso para alagaan ang mga taong malalapit sayo. Gamitin ang utak para alagaan ang sarili mo.”


21. “Ang pag-ibig parang imburnal…nakakatakot mahulog…at kapag nahulog ka, it’s either by accident or talagang tanga ka.


***


So now tell me, which of these rules best apply to you right this moment?

Pig!

I just watched the most talked-about sex scandal of the hunk doctor Hayden Kho and the sexy actress Katrina Halili. I wish i could post the vids but its already illegal - sigh! I think hayden is hot, as well as katrina, enough to fantasize and perhaps be entertained by their nasty video.

I wasn't!

I felt sorry for the girls that he taped with without their consent. Whatever a couple intimately do is never our business. If they tape it, it should be permitted by the people involve.

In the video..

Who wouldn't fall for him? Tall, hottt and juicylicious doctor hayden kho is a 'primera klase'. Gosh! With that face? He looks like he couldn't hurt an ant. Katrina really had a blast. Hayden's performance on bed was mouth-watering.. hahaha.. it really was.

But then again..

The fact that she didn't know she was recorded remains. So sad for her.. Unjust and unfair.. It goes out to all the other girls that hayden taped without their permissions too.

Hayden.. Sick.. Pig!

Bluejay Coffee and Deli

I am havin a vacation here in iloilo for about a week now. And in my stay here, i usually hang out at Bluejay Coffee and Deli. It is one of the major coffee shops here. Their biggest competitor is Coffee Break - biggest shop around. Too bad starbucks can't be found anywhere here :(

I like this cafe because their coffee is better than Coffee Break. It's very affordable - it seems like if cebu has bo's, here in iloilo, they have bluejay. The coffee in Coffee Breaks really sucks (for me). I dont like the taste which is like a squeezed tabako leaf. Disgusting! I could hardly finish up a small cup of it.

Bluejay also serves good food. I like their sandwiches. My favorite is the sausage sandwich - fairly sliced hungarian sausage with rich filling of cheese, veggies and spices. Yummy! And by the way, they also have unlimited wifi access. I just dont like the charge for battery charging - php25 per hour - but its better than no wifi at all. They currently have 2 branches - inside Smallville and one at the corner of Gen. Luna St. They'll soon open another shop in the new mall - Amigo Plaza Mall (fronting SM downtown).

Well, while iloilo still doesn't have starbucks, i got Bluejay to attend my coffee cravings and online journeys.

These Bosses Rock!

I started working when i was eighteen. It came to a point when i was bored going to school, depending on my folks, and asking money from them. And so i hurriedly dived in to the employment world. To date, i already have 6 employers. Imagine!

In every company that i join, i got favorites and not-so favorite bosses. Well, this blog will be talking about my favorites - i will make one for my not-so fave bosses soon! Promise.

Sir Bert

To start, he was my first boss - first fave as well. He just has this charisma in dealing with people. He manages the store well and takes good care of his staff. He is also very strict when it comes to the quality of our work. But his strictness was not the type wherein you'd get annoyed or irritated. He handled every situation well and made sure we get to realize the positive side of his reprimands. What i cant forget about him is the way he facilitates our monthly meeting. No dull moments. He was very creative and generous as well. Whenever our store has a new product, he wouldn't hesitate to allow us to give it a try.

Jays

He was the coolest and most understanding boss ever! I was never the best in the team yet he still cared for me. I was also the black sheep. If I had a different boss, i would've been terminated soon. When we had our one-on-one, he talks to me as if im his younger brother. I never felt so "cared" from a superior the way he cared for me. But dont get me wrong, he takes care of all his agents equally. I salute him - one of the best!

Reese

What makes an excellent team is the manager who supervises it. Aside from being a boss, she is also a very good friend. As they say, birds with the same feathers... haha! She never got tired of inspiring all of us - her team. Anyway, what i can't forget about her is the way she stood up for me all the way to my success. She supported me and believed me in what i am capable of. She fought for me. For that, she created a great impact in my life. I couldn't thank her enough.

These people all made my life at work a breeze and kept me on my toes. I learned A LOT from them that until now i still am practicing it. Whats common about them as that they all got a "heart" for their subordinates. They don't fail to motivate me and helped me grow professionally.

What can I say - THANK YOU!

You Rock!

Britney, Amy And Me

"If You Seek Amy" - Britney Spears

Its the title of her new single from her album "Circus".

She had been crazy, slutty, miserable, terrible, and what have you's yet she came back and took her usual slot again - NUMBER ONE! I am not ashame to admit that I am a fanatic. Haha! I can hear your laughs and prolly smirks of disgust but what the heck.. I love her!

I am not the type of fanatic who researches her bios and take note of her life story. In fact, I am not interested. What made me so fond about her is where she is best at - entertainment. I admit that she doesn't have a powerful voice yet the fact still stays that she can somehow, sing. Now, match it up with how a great dancer she is, every performance is at its highest level. Her music evolves according to the stages of her life and shows who she really is - a sexy, hot and dazzling bitch. She's may be a slut, but she's the best slut in town! hahaha! For me, that tag line is a compliment. Just like a brilliant actor, she plays the role very well. Look at her now, after all what happened, she managed to climb up the charts with a breeze. Every single that she realeses becomes a hit.

Oh going back to her new single "If You Seek Amy", ever wondered why she entitled it that way? You prolly are asking who Amy is. Or why she is looking for her.. haha.. Simple. The title actually is delivering a message. Read the title again - slowly.

IF - YOU - SEEK - A - MY .. Gets? Haha! It actually sounds like:

F - U - C - K - ME!

hahaha! I know, right??? What a whore! An astonishingly incredible, multi-talented and the best whore there is..

Super Friends

There may be a lot of people in our lives that we can call "friends". But only a few becomes our best. It has been a long time since i wanted to create a blog about these people who greatly impacted my life by being with me during my best and worst. By the way, i am still thankful to everyone who befriended me and made me a part of their lives too so dont be hurt if your name wont be mentioned here. Okay? You also played an important role in my life.. These people below are; shall we say, knows me inside and out and stood by me "all the way".

FYI: This is not arranged.. No ranks or whatever!


My Detch

I met him during my convergys days. He was an ex of my previous room mate. We started as casual friends just like everybody else. We became closer when we transferred to peoplesupport. We had exactly the same shift and break schedules. We talk a lot and share about our crazy and coomplicated lives. We eat and go out together. What became funny during that time was, we were tagged in the office as a couple. The rumor spread like an airborne virus that it didn't stop at our department. It reached the nearby accounts and even at the other building. Unbelievable! We didnt expect our friendship was that interesting. hahaha! So what we did was just ignored everyone. We know the truth anyway. We talk about boys, boys and lots of boys. hahaha! And oh, we talk about... men too. hahahha! From clothes to food, shopping, gym memberships and workout, videoke and bar hopping, we do it together. We also exchange referrals on "buddies".. haha! u figure it out! I love my detch so much because he was there whenever im sad, depressed and down. He's also there whenever im happy and when good luck is on my side. He is one friend i couldn't replace with anything else.

PS: in case you're wondering why we call each other "detch", lemme tell u its etymology. It came from a tawagan "dude". But we're not straight, so it should be "dudette". But since "dudette" is so gay and too long to say, we made a short cut -dette. Now, for us "dette" sounds dull so we added -ch after it and then it became "detch". hehehe!

It has been a long time since we have seen each other. Im in a new company now and he's somewhere else. I miss him. Hoy detch pakita na! haha!


Ateh Einnor

Same with my detch, i met ateh einnor in cvg. We became close when i opened up my ballistic love life to him. haha! I got surprised when he just listened to every whines i had. He didn't mind my crazy and non sense stories. And also, ive gotta mention that he never fails to fill my tummy everytime we meet. hahahaha! im always busog. We talk about everything over a buffet or tonz of variety of food. I attempted to treat him but he didnt let me. hahaha! Actually i became shy - but guess what, i got over it. hahaha! Don't worry teh, one day, ill treat u and u cant do anything but let me. I can always count on him. He is always there whenever i call him and wouldnt think twice.


THE BFF's

What can be more fun than hanging out with these 3 ladies: PAULina, DHONatela and Princess KD? NOTHING! It used to be "fab 4". Now they just changed it to BFF, just because it so like maarte and very posh! like us! hahaha! Whenever im with them i feel so welcomed and comfortable. We can just sit down at a coffee shop around 10 in the evening and leave there at about 3 in the morning. haha! well, we just talk, talk, talk, and talk. Chika here, libak there and kantyaw everywhere. We talk about anything and anyone under the sun, the moon, the stars and the rainbow! hahaha! They are the people i call for an ice cream emergency. There was one time when i freaked out at 2 in the morning bacause of that insanely ridiculous reason that i do regret today it happened. jeez! We all met me up and talked about it. I couldn't forget that moment - and that was not the only instance they did that. I love them so much. They are the type of friends who can make me laugh my problems out loud. They make me burst it all out and then make me feel that i am not alone. Like my detch and ate einnor, they saw what a cry-baby i am. They know how i get wasted and lose all the grip i could possibly have over things. These girls just - rock!


Nanay

Before i even met all of them (above), i already have my "nanay". I met him because of my first boyfriend. That was during my junior years at college. Every after school i always make "tambay" at his place. Our friendship grew as years passed by. He is my confidant. He knows everything about my "escapades" that time. And whenever i have a new love interest, he was the first person who'd know. We had a lot of good memories together - and with all our other friends. I could still remember those times when we were still students - we always go to Abuhan, ramos to eat an eat all u can buffet snacks for only 50 pesos. That was the only buffet that we can afford wherein we could fill our stomache to the highest level. It makes me smile reminiscing those times. :) Also, I really appreciate the way he welcomes me into his home here in cebu. His place was my second home. Thats also why i call him 'nanay'. Its like im his adopted son. hehehe! Oh by the way, he just graduated. Congratulations nay.. A soon to be lawyer. Good luck to your bar exams this september.

What would have i done during all those terrible days without you all, my friends?? I could not thank you enough. I am so thankful to have bumpt into your ways. My life wouldn't be this fabulous if it weren't because of YOU.

You guys make me remember how God loves me. He made us F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

A Day With A Friend

It really feels good when its a weekend. I dont have a shift and i could wake up as late as i want. I called up mona and asked her to have lunch with me. She invited me last night for a drinking session but i wasnt able to accompany her because i had a date with my fab friends. She asked me for a restautant that is not found in manila - her home place. So we ate at La Tegola in marina mall. It was both our first time to eat there.

Mona became my friend because of my boyfriend. They work together. She is originally from manila and was assigned here in cebu for a year now. Their company will be undergoing major changes and she has a strong feeling that she will be re-assigned back to manila. Its a sad news. So now she is making the most of her time left here. Mona and I never had any moment time together to go out alone. I then decided to accompany her the whole day. I asked her about the things that she wants to do that she cant do at home. Her answers were: eat at cheesecake etc, shop in white gold plaza (where we heard that there are a lot of great items on sale ALL the time), go to kawasan falls, go on a road trip down south, go to 22nd street for a comedy show and eat on restaurants that are only found here in cebu. For the whole year of staying here, she barely had the time of exploring those things because of too much work and most of the time, on her leisure, she cant find people to go with her. Most of her officemates are married. After we ate, we even went to mactan shrine for business. Yes, she works on a sunday whenever possible.

When we were done in mactan, we went to white gold. When we went inside, the word SALE met us at the front door. We checked what was on sale and voila! Adidas and Nike items were on 50% markdown. I could really tell that they were REALLY on sale because i saw some items that were also sold in sm or ayala and they had the same regular price. She went to the ladies' section and bought something. And me, well, i wasnt able to buy anything coz if ill start spending, i wont be able to stop myself from buying some more. nyaha!

We decided to rest in coffee bean and tea leaf, ayala. We took advantage of the shop's wireless internet connection and surfed the web. We had gone around the mall after resting. We checked on more items to shop. Unfortunately for me, i spotted this gorgeous pants which was on sale of half the price. This time i gave in to temptation - i bought it. Ever since i learned how to shop (like, all my life??? hahaha!), it is really hard to find a pair of pants with a perfect fit for me. I've got "meaty" legs - (i just prefer the word "meaty", so what! haha!). And so when it fabulously fit my thighs and legs, i just cant stand not buying 'em..

It was about 9 and our tummies were starving. For dinner, i brought her to Sinugba, Bai!. Its this grill house on top of the Holiday Plaza Hotel in ramos just accross Abuhan Dos. The food is good there. But what made it better was the fact that its at the hotel's rooftop. The air is fresh and the view of the city lights were fantastic. The price there is also very affordable. Its just like your eating at AA's or NeoNeo with greater ambiance. Its a must-try!

After that sumptuous dinner, we decided to go home. We were supposed to go to 22nd Street but its a sunday. So few people, so greater chance of okraying" us. And besides, we were both tired and sleepy - plus - full. She took me home then. She has a car, thats why. hehe!

So before i'll sleep tonight, ill publish this blog first about my day today...

Thank You for a fun day mon.. I really had a great time!

Good Night!

And Let The Countdown Begin!

And i did it!

After my shift that night she talked to me and heard what i had to say.. Now im officially on towards my separation from emax.. So, let the countdown begin!

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

Hmmm..

It's my break and im waiting for a 4-hour training scheduled an hour from now. Gosh, i hope it wont be a boring one. Im already sleepy.. i dont wanna get sleepier!

Today I decided to submit my resignation letter. Right after my trip last week, i couldn't wait to pass it to my boss. I really looked forward for this day for it marked the beginning of my countdown to be out of this company. Eperformax has been my second home for the past year. It gave me an opportunity to show the world what i got and that i can perform a greater task than what i usually do. Like any other companies, emax (for short), has also it own flaws. Despite of it all, i honestly learned to like it here. Anyway, going back to my resignation, i have already made up my mind. When i handed the letter, i felt good. But my boss insisted that she wont sign it yet not unless she and her boss could talk to me first after the shift today. Hmph! Well i dont have a choice. Maybe they'll try to retain me. But i know for sure nothing will make me change my mind. *sigh* I appreciate their effort though, i really do. I just have to do this for my own personal growth.

Stay tuned.. Lets see what'll happen.. *winx*

Holy Week 2009

It hit me, was it really holy? I went on leave for 5 days last week - in time for the holy week. And boy i had a whole lotta fun! I spent it in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. That was my very first out of the country trip. I went with my family.

Well, this blog is really not about the holiness of the week but its about the trip.. :) I was realy excited and looked forward on so many things. This is it, i am travelling abroad! It has always been one of my dreams to go outside of the country. In a span of 2 months, i was able to get a passport, saved as much cash as i can, bought everything that i needed for the trip, applied for a 5-day vacation leave (which in my job's case, its 'almost' impossible to get approved for it), filed my endorsements for any tasks that i left (special mention to britz and jumax for helping me out, thanks), purchased tickets (this part is so sad because of the fact that i didnt book earlier, the prices were outrageous!) and googled a lot of information for our trip's itinerary. We didnt get a package tour since we were going to 2 different countries and we got some friends who were so kind to take us to interesting places without spending too much (thank you ate jing, june, justin and kim2x).

Let me share what happened..

April 4 (sat) @ 3:15 pm - cebu to manila flight via pal, it was delayed for 30 mins - therefore prolonged my excitement for half an hour, grrrr.. hehehe.. Our flight to KL c/o cebu pacific, was scheduled 8:++ pm so we ate dinner at naia terminal 3 (since cebupac flights are situated there) while waiting for our flight. Oh by the way, thanks also to jane who took care of our ride for terminal 3. My excitement level was soaring every minute that passed by. When 8pm striked, we were aboard for our first stop of our holy week trip - Kuala Lumpur.


We arrived around 12:30 am. We weren't able to stop ourselves from taking pictures along the runway and on different foreign aircrafts around. We took a cab going to ate jing's condo (Casa Mutiara). There we gathered enough energy for our first adventure. We slept for about 3 hours, woke up around 5:45am and prepared for the "city of entertainment" - Genting Highlands.





- aerial view -




Genting Highlands is a mountain peak within the Titiwangsa Mountains on the border between the states of Pahang and Selangor of Malaysia and is home to a famous mountain resort by the same name which can be reached by car from Kuala Lumpur in one hour. It is also accessible by the world's fastest and South East Asia's longest cable car called Genting Skyway. Unfortunately, the cable cars were under maintenance. We werent able to ride one, huhuhu :(.. It is sometimes informally known as the Las Vegas of Malaysia, dubbed the "City of Entertainment" as it is the only legal land-based casino in Malaysia, run by Resorts World Bhd, a sub-company of Genting Group. The resort, Genting Highlands Resort, also features many hotels owned by Genting subsidiaries including Awana Genting, First World Hotel, Genting Hotel, Highlands Hotel, Resort Hotel and Theme Park Hotel. Facilities in this resort include two theme parks, a Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum, a wind-turbine sky diving simulator, golf courses and shopping malls(*wikipedia). It also houses a huge snow-environment park called - the Snow World. Of course, persons who grew up in a tropical country and never experienced 'snow' didnt let the day pass by without going inside. We were like kids running around throwing snow balls to each other. We also took pictures and played around to our heart's content. In the theme park, my favorite was the Space Shot. This is where you'll be taken around 15 kms high that you could already see the other island next to malaysia - and then, suddenly you will be dropped like a free-falling object and when you look down, you could really feel that your soul was like left behind all you could think of doing is just close your eyes and scream at the top of your lungs. It was an AMAZING experience! In fact, i went for a second round. hahaha! Other great things in genting are the other heart-pumping rides, elegant hotels, a huge shopping mall, fabulous resorts, breath-taking scenery of the mountains and virgin forests, super extra cozy weather (since its on top of the mountain) and a loooooooot of food! We spent the entire day there. Never did we have any dull moments. When we were in the bus going back to the city, we were so freakin tired. And when we arrived home, I immediately slept - with a smile on my face :)


Day 2 - we woke up early in the morning for our city tour. On this day we explored the capital of malaysia. Kuala Lumpur is a magnificent place. Despite of every obvious evidences of a progressive and highly urbanized city, you can still see the 'greens' - plants and trees that freely grow within the metropolis. The streets are so clean and you can barely feel the dust. Their means of transportation are buses and trains. There we learned how to comute. There are a lot of shopping malls around - from the low class type up to the elite-type malls. One of these 'elite' malls is The Pavilion. It has many signature branded clothes, shoes, jewelries, etc.. Another great about KL is shopping for electronics. Boy you'll get cellphones, laptops, digicams, videcams, mp3 players and more for very affprdable prizes. You want an example? We asked about a sony digicam that we can buy here in cebu for 30K ++. There, you can just buy it for 14K ++ and swear its original. The salesman was even surprised when we told him how much its costs here. The reason for it is that they barely charge their gadgets for taxes. Awesome! After a day of strolling and walking around, my feet hurt like hell. We had to go back home and rest for a bit.


Whats different about malaysia is also the length of their daytime. It was already 7pm and its still bright outside. The sun there begins to set at 8pm. Gosh! Imagine having dinner and its not yet dark outside. hehe.. And so we decided to eat late for dinner. Before doing so, we went to the KL Menara Tower. It is the fifth tallest telecommunication tower in the world. If you would look at the picture below, it looks like a giant scepter. The long "stem-like" body has elevators which is the primary mean of reaching the upper area. It also has a stairwell - but who would want to climb up using a stairwell anyway eh?? What makes it more amazing than the fact of being one of the world's tallest is that it has a revolving restaurant above that enables the diners to see the entire of Kuala Lumpur while eating. Plus, its so romantic up there, very ideal for lovers or perhaps a date with the family.. hehe.. just one level from the restaurant (im not sure if its below or above the resto), is a viewing deck for people who wants to see a beautiful view of the city and get educated with the fantastic facts about the city and the tower itself. In there, the floor is divided into 14 stations with windows and telescopes each. You will be provided with a video player with an earphone for different intrustions and interesting information of the places and structures that you can see in each window. The view there was wonderful!








- KL tower by day and night -


Right after the tower visit, we headed to KL's night market and China Town. Its so amazing how you can buy things there for very very cheap prices - provided that you have to be good with negotiating. (heavy ang hinangyu-ay para heavy sad ang discount). And guess what, I was able to buy a glow in the dark KL souvenir shirt for just 15 ringgit (that originally costs 50 ringgit). hahaha! I also bought other souvenir items and pasalubongs. We had our dinner in a chinese restaurant there. After we ate, we headed home and slept.




- the sunway lagoon -

Our third day was another exciting day for our trip because we went to... Sunway Lagoon! Its an amusement park located in Petaling, jaya malaysia. Its a different city. That was one of the most amazing amusement park that i have ever been in my entire life. For more info, here's there website: http://www.sunway.com.my/lagoon/. The place is ideal for everyone - kids, family, adults, lovers, tourists, local, etc.. I had even spotted kris aquino there and had our picture taken.. hehehe.. She was on holy week vacation too with here family and friends. O deva bongga?!? nakasabayan jud si kris! hahahaha! There we tried all the rides and adventures as we could. We spent the whole day there with sooooo much fun. We went home around 6 in the afternoon and prepared for our next stop - Singapore!

Our bodies were like beaten with an iron club. But they were all worthy because of enjoyment. Me and my boyfriend took a bus while the rest chose to take the plane. The price only differs around 15 ringgit. Our bus departed at 10pm. We had ridden in an economy class bus. We were really amazed with the bus's amenities because its like a business class ride here in the philippines. Our seats were so wide and can be bent over so we could lie down and sleep as if we were on a bed. The only difference with the economy and the business class there was the tv monitor. Economy class shares one tv infront while the business class has one monitor each of its seats. Well, who needs a monitor when all we did the entire trip was sleep. hehehe! we were so tired from our day at sunway lagoon.

We arrived in Singapore around 3 in the morning. Our drop off point was in beach road. There we were fetched up by kim2x. We went to his place and slept for about 4 hrs. When we woke up and had our first bfast in singapore, hehe, we prepared to go to the famous Sentosa. It means peace and tranquillity in Malay, is a popular island resort in Singapore, visited by some five million people a year. Attractions include a two-kilometre long sheltered beach, Fort Siloso, two golf courses and two five-star hotels, and the upcoming Resort Worlds at Sentosa, featuring the new theme park Universal Studios Singapore. We watched a dolphin show and went inside the Underworld (ocean park). The resort is very promising because of all its magnificent attractions. But i would have to admit that i was a bit disappointed because its not that complete yet. You could still see a lot of construction sites around. Well, i bet sentosa will be more attractive for me in future.


- sentosa -

The very first thing that i observed in singapore was the cost of literally "everything" there. EXPENSIVE! From the bottled water, to their food, clothes, shoes, etc.. Whew! DOLLARS jud! In my opinion, its nice to work there coz ul earn dollars and if you'll plan to go on vacation, go to malaysia.. hehehe.. Well, provided that you'll find ways to save as uch as you can and catch up with the cost of living in SG. We went home shortly to freshen up and eat. In the evening, we went on a tour at the merlion park. We took a train going there, walked a bit, and met a lot of fellow filipinos around. Around the merlion park, you can also see the singapore flyer, the fullerton hotel, the explanade and the queen elizabeth's walk park. Our night ended there. Our feet hurt more and i had a lot of foot soars.. :(

The next day was another exciting day - the city tour! We went to Orchard Street where many of the malls are located. There's this one mall called "Lucky Plaza", where filipinos gather. It is where many money transfer services to phils are found. We had lunch in a filipino restaurant there. Grabeh kamahal sa food! pero bahala na, nag-humba jud ko! Biyernes santo pajud to! What can i do? Malaysia and Singapore are muslim countries. You can hardly find pork entrees there. As in! After lunch we took off to other places around. Jumping from one mall to another. Oh and by the way, the second thing i observed in SG is the cleanliness of its surroundings. Vivacious! So far from our dusty, ever-polluted roads here. Spitting on the streets is sanctioned for $500. Video cameras are everywhere hence people there are so disciplined. But im not saying SG is a perfect country, there are also violators around of course. One side of the city is the Bugis Street. This is where you can find a lot of "buting-things" to buy - the down town area. We bought a lot of pasalubong there.

At night we then prepared to go back home. Our flight was at 12:05 AM. We again took a train - for the last time (huhu) to changi airport. We said our goodbye's to kim2x and prepared for our flight. We arrived in cebu at 4am. At last! Home Sweet Home!

So now tell me, was my week holy or what???

Bored!

Im bored! I wanna write something but i don't know what. Hmmmmm.. Today is the 1st day of the 4th month of the year. It was just like yesterday when we rushed to the stores and bought presents for the people we value and for the people we were just obliged to give to - christmas. And then came the new year when we listed our resolutions and made ourselves believe that we will change. I remember one of my resolutions was to lose weight. Gosh! Was it just my desperation talking or what?? until today, i can't even see or notice any changes at all. A quarter of the year already passed and my belly is still the same belly i had last year. Damn it! Well they say "never say die", haha! i think i'll go ahead and tell it to the marines. After the new year came the Sinulog festival. I got drunk and wasted but i didn't throw up. *sigh* just a quick trivia - i never experienced puking after i drink a lot. I easily get drunk. After 3 bottles of 500 ml red horse, then im down. Haha! such a kid! Even on hard alcoholic drinks. i never got to puke! Hmmm, maybe i should've included that in my resolution, ayt? This year, i should be able to puke! ew! The love month took place and valentine's day was sooo red! FIRE RED! I had a trip to guimaras, an island in iloilo known to be one of the largest producers of mangoes in the country. And as what we can remember, it was where the famous oil spill happened. Right now the beaches were safe to enjoy with. Uhmm, no offense to the people living there, but i didnt like the beach. It wasn't like the way i expected it - fine white sand, long stretch of the shore, and all that.. But i overlooked at it because my experience there was unforgettable. I enjoyed my stay there a lot. When march came, things became more stressful because of the final examinations at school and a lot of major changes that occured in the office. My head spun like crazy. Information was overloading and everyday the level of exhaustion was at its peak. Grrr! But now im glad those days were over. The semester had ended. Now im still facing the pressure at work and im sick of it. Well, i dont have a choice but to deal with it. *sigh*

Oh well, i am still looking forward for fabulous things that is in store for me this year. Despite the frustrating revelations, i am excited for whats waiting for me ahead.

Another Lazy Day

I feel lazy today. I'm at the office and my shift is about to start. I wanna go out and just do nothing. I actually got plans of calling in sick just to get rid of the office today. I don't like it staying here anymore. Don't get me wrong, i still love being an analyst. I guess my priorities now just changed. Just a few more weeks and i'll be out of this company. Im just looking forward for next week. I'll be off the whole week.. Yipee!

Predicament

It had always been my dilemma whether or not im gonna quit my job for school. I am so blessed to have been given a position in a management level regardless of the fact that I am not a degree holder. I just finished 3rd year in college. But I could brag about receiving a paycheck higher than a store manager.

The pay is really good where I am working, but inside me I am still not satisfied. Yes I am craving for a higher pay but there is still something that I feel “lacking” in my life. I wanna graduate! I wanna get a degree and finish my studies. Im currently taking a few units while im working so that i can still slowly reach for my dreams. My mom has a very tempting offer – she’s gonna shoulder my school expenses provided that I must stop working and focus on my studies. It is indeed VERY tempting! And honestly, I “think” i'll be taking it.

Nowadays, we all know that we are under a major global economic recession. Many people lost their jobs, prices of our primary necessities are getting higher and everyone is experiencing hardships. It confuses me even harder thinking that I already have a nice job so why should I quit? I was able to manage it with my schooling moreover I could do it further. I am also worried how I could adjust from a lifestyle where I can buy whatever I like to a life of a student with very limited resources. It really feels good earning your own money. Day after day I think things over. At the back of my head, im still eager to take mama’s offer.

A friend of mine told me that I’ve got to set my priorities. I’ve got to determine if my job is helping me attain my goals in life. What is more important to me? If studying is really important to me, I’ve got to check if my work is not keeping me from achieving it. And she’s right. I have had a lot of burnt out days due to exhaustion and stress. Yes I passed all my subjects but im not satisfied with my grades because I know I could’ve gotten something higher. There were days that I would miss out school because im too tired attending my classes. There were also instances wherein I wouldn’t be able to do home tasks and projects because I wouldn’t have time to do it. I spent most of my time at work.

And then again I thought everything over. I reflected and made a decision - I am going back to school as a full time student this June 2009.

First Love

I just slept for 4 hours today. I got an invitation from a friend to watch a movie - the reader. Boy has it been so long since i took myself into a cinema. The movie only interests me for the sole reason that Kate Winslet won as the best actress during the 81st academy awards for this film. The story was nice and kate portrayed a heavy role excellently. The movie's got a lot of butt-exposure scenes and bed scenes. To my male friends, if you wanna see kate winslet's ass - aside from that of Titanic - then the movie is for you. I cried when i watched it. I liked how the story went and evidently proved that all praises they recieved were very well-said.

The Reader is about a may-december love affair where the woman is older.
It tells the story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who as a teenager in the late 1950s had an affair with an older woman, Hanna Schmitz, who then disappeared only to resurface years later as one of the defendants in a war crime trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. Michael realizes that Hanna is keeping a personal secret she believes is worse than her Nazi past, a secret that — paradoxically enough — could help her at the trial.

The film also tells about a lot of first times - first kiss - first love - first sex - first sensual touch - first affair - first trial of different sex positions - first heartbreak - first fight with a special someone - and first time of making love. Looking at the innocent boy who falls in love for the first time refreshes my memory when i first fallen in love. I was so young, so naive, so oblivious towards what was going on with the world and by that time, all i cared about was my happy heart making me feel like im dancing on a cloud nine. Being the youthful me, i was so fragile. How the boy in the story was broken-hearted was exactly the way my heard was broken the first time. It drawn me closer to the film.

When i went out from the movie house, something made me think. Is first love really never dies? If it truly doesn't, what will happen to the love that we found today? Why can't i feel the same feeling that i had for that boy? Is it just sleeping somewhere inside us waiting for that person to wake it up?

I would admit that it took me a very long time recover from that bittersweet experience.

SWEET

The relationship started as 2 complete strangers where their paths crossed in an unexpected time and day. It was just the start of the year when we bumpt into each other's way. We had several dates - gotten to know each other - typical romantic love story on bizaare times. We always had our dates during late nights - where most of the people are asleep - the streets are not busy - and the gentle soft breeze of the cool air lifts both of our happy hearts high. Every moment felt like the last for a boy who just learned how to fall in love with a fellow boy. Days, weeks and months passed by breathlessly for two young men in love.

BITTER

As we lasted, like a normal relationship, we encountered problems. Problems that were falling rocks around our ways - hurting us - creating loopholes and roadblocks that we both wasn't able to surpass. It was a tragic experience for me because i didn't have any idea what will happen, how to face it, and how to deal with the mess that i was about to go through. I cried blood during those scurrilous days. That was the first time my heart was broken. The pain was unfathomable.

Well, despite what happened, I still appreciated him for "passing by" my life. He taught me a lot of valuable lessons that until now i am still keeping. The pain had gone by. The memories are still there.

Life really is knavish. My heart learned to fall in love again. After every relationship, i still get hurt. But i managed to grasp learnings that keep me reminded of the things that ive unlikely done and make me prevent them. So to answer my questions, first love dies at the moment both of you ended it. Love exists if you let it rule over you and influence your life. Don't force it to die. It dies by itself. As for me, this is why i was able to open myself for someone else. I let another person come in to my heart and just let it learn to fall. The only thing that can tell you that you're ready to love again is your heart itself. It will just happen. If it becomes ready, then you'll just feel it without even knowing it. Finally, once love dies, it's gone. It doesn't sleep if it dies in the first place.

Well in my case - I remember the boy, but i don't remember the feeling anymore..

One Good Reason For Rejoicing Today

I am so happy today because it is the first day of my summer vacation. Many may not know that before i go to the office and work at night, Id been studying in the afternoon. My life everyday is very tiresome. But i've got to do it because i wanna finish my studies.

My day starts in the afternoon. I wake up at 1:00 PM and then take my first class at 3. It ends usually at 6:30 PM. After that, I immediately got to the office and sleep for a couple of hours, say 9 PM, and then goes to the floor for work. The office has a sleeping quarter so i am one of the employees who is very thankful for having one. I take full advantage from it. And so my work ends at 6:30 in the morning - the next day. Lucky if there will be no post-shift meetings because usually i extend my stay in the office if there are any. I have a 30 - 45 minute travel from the office going home. Once i step inside our house, i directly go to bed and wake up at 1 PM. So their goes my routine every single day for the last year.

Now that the semester has ended, i am rejoicing because finally, i would get to enjoy myself on TV, movies, shopping, or just by sleeping the entire day. My life goes back to a normal and relaxed call center employee.

*yawn*

Well, its already about 6:25 AM - gotta stop for now and prepare for log off!

Good Night!

Blogging, Bloggers and Me

This has really never been my hobby. I am not the type who sits down and jot everything what im thinking. I am a fan of those people who can just write everything that plays on top of their head - easily gathers their thoughts and then the next thing you know, they have created a masterpiece. For them their just ordinary and random thoughts that came into words. But when i read it, i'd really admire how their minds work, how they contruct their sentences to elaborate bare things and expound unadorned matters.

Three of my favorite bloggers are paul, annamie and jumax. These people really amazes me with the way they express their emotions over big and small stuff. Seldom do i sit and take time to read somebody else's public journal. But with any of these three girls, i could really say that their posts are worth the time to read. It may be on "inamaw" things, just making pa-kikay, buzzing the buzz in town, reacting on what somebody else is wearing, or just a simple event that happened in their lives that they wanna share to the world, they're astonishing!

I hope i could post their links here but i guess i have to ask their permission first. Hmmmmm, i haven't even made my blog site public yet so there's really nothing that i should be worrying about. Hehehe!

The BPO Whore

When I first heard about call centers, i plainly thought that people who are working in this field are just 'taking calls'.

I entered the call center world in 2004, a week after my birthday. I got really excited because my brother then used to work in convergys, where i also first got employed. First thing that made the job so attractive was the moooolahh - the pay. True. Who would ever thought that an unprofessional guy like me could get a job that pays like a manager from a fastfood chain? - where i used to work for a couple of months. Convergys opened my mind to a whole new life. It made me realize what i'm capable of despite the fact that i am an undergraduate. It boosted my pride. I didn't mind losing my job at all coz i know id get employed to somewhere else. I admit that i am a call center hopper. No big deal! Got tonz of friends who are like that. Worked in Cebu Global for 2 months, then in PeopleSupport for a year and 8 months, and then now in ePerformax as a Quality Analyst. I became more proud when i reached the management level knowing what i just attained academically. No offense to my friends who are graduates, but its just something that i can be proud of when i come to think that i have "professionals" who are under my team and are under my lead (at work). But hey, i do have a lot of respect to all my agents coz they taught me a lot of lessons that molded me into what kind of a manager i am now. (To even think about it, i am still a student.)





Getting to where i am is never a walk in the park. I know its not really that big of a position, but to reach this level is an achievement most especially to a student like me.

This really took me off the track to even made me decide to stop studying. It blazed my mind off from my life's gameplan. It totally twisted my life and turned it into something unplanned and abrupt. The money that i got out from my work took me to a lot of places - fed me on high end restaurants (something that i had heen deprived from since i dont come from a well-to-do family) - made me stand on my own feet - let me lived alone - made me do stuff that i really wanted - made me take anybody home without being reprimanded - visited anybody or to wherever i wanted - went home late - or not to go home at all - waking up late - smoked a lot - drunk all i can - got me dead wasted - spent how much i wanted - bought whatever i liked - did whatever i pleased - life was totally a beach! Those were the things that call centers got me into. A life full of luxury and wealth. Those were the things that made me grateful about the americans who thought about outsourcing their businesses here.

I would never have to forget mentioning that through this industry, i met most of the dearest people in my life. My 2 bestfriends, 3 gurlfriends, the goddesses, team mates, foodtripmates, out-of-town buddies, gym buddies, QAs, coaches, supes, housemates, or basically the people who i can mutually call - friends.





In every job that we may engage ourselves into, we can never take any pressures off. It is always there. Even if we end up with our dream job, we still cant deny that there will always be deadlines, targets, goals, accountabilities, deliverables and what nots. Well, it wont be called a "job" if you wont have responsibilities, right? In call centers, these things do exist and its really up to you - your body, mind, and heart - on how you will dwell and balance on everything. Ive got lots of friends who are really excellent in what theyre doing on the floor but their bodies could just not bear the demand of the job - waking up on ungodly hours, working overnight and extremely extended hours of work on pre and post shift meetings. You also have to learn how to stabilize yourself emotionally regardless of the physical exhaustion that you get. What actually makes this job challenging is how you need to appreciate the need of faking your emotions inorder to satisfy the person you are talking to on the other line, at the same time your boss, your team and the company. When i say "faking" your emotions, it means that no matter what happened to you earlier today, you need to maintain a professional disposition towards your client - lucky if you are in a good mood - but how about if when you lack rest because you slept late due to an existing "brown-out" that resulted to being irritable by the heat of the afternoon sun? Bad Trip! and then on your way to work, an old lady stepped on to your shoes when she rode in a jeep where ur riding.. Can you set your mood immediately by the time you'll take in calls and still smile on all of your conversations? I guess not! And Oh, I have to mention, adding up all the exasperating co-workers that you may have, PUH-LEEEZ! Ruins Your Day! Better AVOID than being sorry!

Looking back, i cant help but smile and realize how the industry molded me into what i am and enhanced my skills personally and professionally - started as an agent where the headset and the avaya were my weapons and my tongue was my ammunition - now a Performance Analyst where the evaluation sheets are my tools and my mind as my fortress. Despite how i whine about uncertain schedules, unspeakable pressures, and infuriating "people", i still have to say "THANK YOU BPO" for a life full of pleasant and aggravating memories that will forever etch in my heart.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

Who in the world would not know KFC?



For me, they have the world's most delicious fried chicken ever made my mankind. Forgive my exaggeration, but i believe that nothing compares to its juicy meat, whether original or spicy cooked, and its irresistible taste that makes your mouth water and once tasted, it would make want to grab some more. I would NEVER exchange a KFC chicken meal with anything else! It makes me wonder, how did this amazing food come to its existence? And so, to my curiousity, I checked their website and here were the things that i found out:

Its greatness was made possible through the efforts of Col. Harland Sanders - he bacame a colonel not because he joined the army but because he was recognized as an honorary colonel for his contribution to the state of Kentucky's cuisine by the governor. His first restaurant was in a small front room of a gas station in Corbin, Kentucky. He was the station operator, cashier and chief cook all at the same time. He named his resto - Sander's Court and Cafe".




The birth of the original recipe was in 1940. He began franchising by travelling from town to town and cooking batches of chicken for restaurant owners and employees. His first franchise was in 1952 to Mr. Pete Harman of Salt Lake City. It cost a nickel for Col. Sanders for every chicken sold.





The chicken were first sold in buckets last 1957. In 1960, KFC expanded with 190 franchises and 400 franchise units in both USA and Canada. Six years after, the KFC Corporation went public and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1969.





Now, KFC continues to fascinate us with new recipes and delectible new tastes. My favorite is the hot and spicy chicken served with another KFC delightful dish - spaghetti. Their spag also amazes me for it really catches every Filipino's taste buds. In fact, their spaghetti tops my list from any other spaghetti in town. Yummmmy!





Another heavenly entry in their menu are their burgers. From the chicken fillet, to the wow burger and then their mouthfully irresistible signature huge sandwich - the zingeRRR! It's my favorite sandwich - KFC Zinger - made witth hot and spicy chicken fillet with fresh lettuce and topped with rich mayonnaise in a soft kaisser bun. I could finish up one whole sandwich in just over a sweet conversation either with my baby, my girlfriends, officemates, schoolmates or just by myself.

For A complete list of their exquisite recipes, you could visit their website by clicking HERE!

Enjoy your finger-lickin' goodness meal with KFC! :)

Vote EARTH!



I am not an environmentalist! But i honestly have this "care" for our planet. It is the place where we all live. It provided us all the necessary things that we need in order to survive. Now, i guess even just for one hour in a year, i could express my "thanks" to our dear world. I am supporting Earth Hour! I hope you are too..



Here's a clip from their website on what Earth Hour is all about:


VOTE EARTH





YOUR LIGHT SWITCH IS YOUR VOTE


This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world’s first global election, between Earth and global warming. For the first time in history, people of all ages, nationalities, race and background have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. WWF are urging the world to VOTE EARTH and reach the target of 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009.

This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It is the chance for the people of the world to make their voice heard.Earth Hour began in Sydney in 2007, when 2.2 million homes and businesses switched off their lights for one hour. In 2008 the message had grown into a global sustainability movement, with 50 million people switching off their lights. Global landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome’s Colosseum, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square all stood in darkness.

In 2009, Earth Hour is being taken to the next level, with the goal of 1 billion people switching off their lights as part of a global vote. Unlike any election in history, it is not about what country you’re from, but instead, what planet you’re from. VOTE EARTH is a global call to action for every individual, every business, and every community. A call to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. Over 74 countries and territories have pledged their support to VOTE EARTH during Earth Hour 2009, and this number is growing everyday.We all have a vote, and every single vote counts. Together we can take control of the future of our planet, for future generations.VOTE EARTH by simply switching off your lights for one hour, and join the world for Earth Hour.Saturday,

Can Cheaters Change?

I have found an article online about people who we really hate that we love them so - cheating boyfriend/girlfriend.

Can Cheaters Change?
By David Zinczenko - Posted on Fri, Mar 30, 2007, 5:51 pm PDT

We'd all like to think that people can make changes, learn to compromise, and make their relationship stronger. Unromantic men can learn to buy a card every once in a while; women who nag can learn to stop themselves at least a few times they see toothpaste in the sink, or whatever it is. But those are small changes. The big changes -- the changes that can make or break a relationship -- are the ones most of us are really concerned about. And perhaps the biggest question of all -- when you consider that 25 percent of men admit to cheating in relationships and about 15 percent of women do -- is this: Can cheaters change? Is cheating an inherent personality trait or a controllable behavioral one? Can a guy -- or gal -- who strays learn to be a house cat?For these purposes, we'll consider cheating full-on sexual contact -- not only sex, but also its close relatives. (I fully know that 60 percent of men say that even having drinks with an old flame is cheating, 50 percent of men say visiting strip clubs is cheating, and virtually all women say emotional betrayal is worse than physical betrayal. So I know cheating is complicated, but here, we'll go with the traditional "Where did my underwear go?" definition.) The average woman says that the No. 1 reason for divorce is infidelity -- so that indicates to me that for women, their answer is no, cheaters can't change (or if they do, they don't believe he deserves a second chance). After I give you my take, I'd love to hear your thoughts about this very question, because I think your perception of this issue may very well depend, in some major way, on whether you've been burned -- or have done the burning.

Can Cheaters Change? Not a chance!

Once someone crosses the line in the relationship (again, that line being different things to different people, but for argument's sake, we're talking here about the horizontal hora), it's like a seal being broken on a pill bottle. Though some of it may depend on whether it was a drunken fling or an ongoing stealth hookup with someone at work, the fact is that once that trust is compromised, the offender will have a hard time resetting the relationship to its startup condition. Even if the victim accepts the offender back into the relationship, the offender will be likely to stray again -- because he knows he's already gotten away with it once. The bigger picture, really, is the fact that he (we'll assume the cheater is a he; sorry, guys) cheated for a reason -- that something in his current relationship -- for example, one study showed that couples with infidelity issues showed greater dishonesty, arguments about trust, narcissism, and time spent apart -- made him explore other options. And that's ultimately what makes him prone to do it again. But...

Can Cheaters Change? Absolutely!

Just because someone has cheated in one relationship doesn't mean that he's always a cheater in his next relationships -- for the very same reason. In the relationship where he cheated, he was willing to gamble it away. So if he enters a committed relationship where he feels there's much more to lose, there's a less likely chance he'll want to risk it. Does that mean he won't, or that he couldn't succumb to the temptations of the tight-topped bartender? Of course not. Cheating certainly can make some relationships impossible to continue, but some infidels can indeed change -- that is, if he hopes to make other relationships even remotely possible.

Starbucks Coffee







I am no coffee expert. Not a coffee addict even. But i just wanna post this blog about a coffee shop that always give me a reason to enjoy coffee. Starbucks!



Yes its quite fancy there that even a regular employee could hardly afford (well, the term "regular" here generalizes a typical filipino minimum-waged worker). The cheapest coffee they have is 75 pesos, thats the smallest cup. With the current financial situation that the world, most especially- and obviously, our country, is facing right now, 75 pesos can already fill your tummy for 2 meals (with drinks).



My point of creating this blog is, that even we are all experiencing financial crisis, I wont deny that I still stop by at Starbucks once in awhile for a cuppa' coffee. Im not actually an "everyday customer". And Its not about bragging that i can afford one either. But this is my way of sharing you how great their coffee is. Even if you'll buy their cheapest drink, its price is worthy. You can really taste an irresistible and excellent quality coffee up to your last sip. The aroma - you can really smell the goodness and you can immediately tell that you are about to give yourself into its heavenly sensation.

I have already been to a lot of coffe shops in town. Not all of them sucks. Others have good tastes too. Some has more expensive prices. But I just cant replace my starbucks coffee..
