The best gothic romance manga ever!  You can’t help yourself but fall in love with the nocturnal immortals who grace the pages in its every chapter.  Vampire Knight is an ultimate page turner that will keep you at your feet as Yuuki’s hidden secret from the past is slowly revealed.

Kaname Kuran is the character I fell in love the most in this manga.  Hahaha!  He’s a pure blood vampire who saved Yuuki from a savaged blood-sucker during those cold snowy night ten years ago.  I hope there will be new updates for this series.  Can’t wait!  Hehe!

Yes!  Cebu Bloggers Society does exist!  Hahaha!  But as I can see, it’s still in its forming stage.  I’ve already attended a few meet-ups, and the others even attend press conference and the likes.  Hmmn…I’m looking forward to meet more fellow bloggers who are not only into blogging for money.  I mean most bloggers I’ve known are so crazed up in monetizing their sites.

Well, I’m not against the idea of blogging for money.  In fact, I have blogsites under google adsense.  My point is, it should not become the sole purpose why we blog.  We blog because we wanted our voices to be heard.  We blog to share our unique ideas… to express our individualities and to make unlimited connections to fellow bloggers and people worldwide.

I believe that the passion for blogging is a reflection of our passion for writing.  The passion to write should be the primary inspiration for bloggers.  In that way, blogging can sustain its true essence.  And that’s not definitely the essence of commercialization.  It’s because blogging didn’t start as a tool for business, but a powerful tool for individuals to reach out and to be heard.

But on the other side, who doesn’t need money nowadays?  Everybody loves to earn while enjoying what they love to do.  It actually depends on what side  you’re into.  Good luck to all bloggers out there!

I’m quite disappointed that this manga doesn’t have any new updates.  At first, I find its story very unrealistic, cliche, and too shallow.  I didn’t even know why I continued reading it.  But as the leading characters were slowly revealed, I quickly fell in love with them especially  the long-haired  guy Taiga.  Hehehe!  He’s actually a porn-novelist.  There, I spilled it.  Hahaha.  The story is actually very interesting and a bit taboo.  You should try to read it.

The urge to dodge is a little bit disturbing. The thought of not painting the scene seems regrettable. And to do it intentionally is out of question.

I went to Prime Care, SM this afternoon to have a physical check up. My sup urges me to have one because my right throat is not only unusually bigger than the left, but there’s a new small lump on my left neck. I had a thyroid panel test and I will go back tomorrow for the result. I hope it’s just benign. I can’t accommodate any bad news nowadays. I’m still in the process of fixing up emotional throes and it’s really a disadvantage to be a weakling physically. That’s the very last thing I wanted to happen to myself. Please God spare me from all diseases. *crossing fingers*

Bohol Trip

My trip to Bohol last Saturday went well. I never expected to travel to Panglao on Sunday. I thought I’ll be spending the whole Sunday roaming around Tagbilaran and watch movie at ICM. But it turned out the other way. I went to Panglao with my friend’s siblings and cousins. I spent the whole day swimming in the beach because it was a cloudy and rainy day(I wouldn’t have done it if it’s a sunny one because of my “skin color issue”…hihi). All in all it’s a great trip. (:

Since May of this year I started to list some crappy stuffs that I should accomplish before the month ends. Here are the stuffs in my to-do-list last June that I’ve done doing…

1. Buy a spilled-proof mug

2. General cleaning in the house

3. Treat Roni Babe at Ice Castle

4.  Buy a new pair of decent shoes

5.  Treat jc_hitomi at Tongs

6.  Finish the anti-parasite campaign with libido boi

7.  Go to Camotes or Bantayan Island! Weeeh!

Wehehehe…congrats to myself that I managed to do all of those.  Check my new To-Do List for July.  Hehehe.  I just listed down again the things I didn’t manage to do last month.  I guess the most difficult is losing weight.  Grrr…

When anger consumes you cont.

I am a bit lazy today so I won’t discuss any further what had happened to our chat.  I’ll just post here a few of mine and some “concern citizens” reponses to his angry post in the local forum I mentioned in my previous entry…So here is my response:

As I read your posts I can tell that you’re ruining the Company’s reputation. And it is such a disgrace because you had only worked there for a month and it’s only you among all the past and present employees who is ranting such craps. If you have personal grudges against the manager don’t make a story like the company is like this and like that. It is very alarming that it’s only YOU who had experienced such “maltreatment”. Have you questioned yourself why your clients were not satisfied with your work? Why your clients were not happy with you? And have you also asked yourself why your Manager acted that way? And what have you done why you earned such reaction?

And here are a few selected response posts from those “concern denizens”:

1. No one has the right to ruin the reputation of the company (any company for that matter) just to purge some twisted grudge. Honestly, I think it’s juvenile and totally unnecessary. Granted that everyone has an opinion to convey, but in my humble opinion, comments that are intended to maim the reputation of a company is just downright bitter- who does that? Vanilla Networks is a great company that cares for its employees.

2. NO INSULTS to you or whatever but here is what I think.

Maybe you did not act properly or you have done some things that made you worthy of such acts by their GM. How can I say so? I think “professional” people will not do things without reasons. I was interviewed by the their GM before and I think he is professional enough.

My point is, try to be professional in dealing with things. If you feel that you are being mistreated, you can file a case for them. Not just post something here and talk behind his (Vanilla Network’s GM) back. Sorry to say this, while I read your post, I said to myself “dapat ra man sad di ay xa dili tarongon kai unprofessional man pod xa.”. Your post is here is so unprofessional frankly speaking. If you think that the GM don’t have the skills to be such or he did not have a good system for their company, then, GO AHEAD and apply for his position. Let’s see what you can do and If you will do better, then I will take back all I have said above.

Just a piece of advise, act professionally. If he had mistreated you, file a case or something. If he had underestimated you and your skills, then move on. Work your way up so you can prove that the GM was wrong about you. Not this way to trying to stab him at the back. Makes you look like your worthy of being treated badly because your not professional enough.

3. I heard about this company from a friend of mine, she said their OM is cool, smart and down-to-earth. Sometimes their OM would approach each of his employees and ask them how they are doing with their support. Sometimes he would crack jokes and help them with their concerns or problems. So, I was really shocked to hear some of these silly accusations from their OM, I trust my friend and she wouldn’t lie to me. If you have some issues with the company, then I would advice you to move on than waste your time ruining the company. I worked before in a prestigious company and they suddenly let me go without any warning at all. My friends told me to sue them, but I told them, why waste my time and my money on them, much better to move on and apply for another job. Later on, I realized that you have to experience some things or situations to be able to grow and know what your faults are. It was also a blessing for me, because I was able learn from that experience and prove to myself that I am a capable person. Don’t be bitter about it, cheer up, do something with your life and move on….

I checked the thread a while ago, and I read some comments from other forum members about the company’s people over-reacting about the guy’s post…Oh, well…What should the people expect?  Someone is throwing garbage to the company you’re working with and you fully know that all he said are not true and are just results of his anger.  YES! Everyone has the right to voice out opinions and the likes but people should be more responsible.  A forum is a public place wherein people who can read your post can hastily make unfair judgements.  It is just normal for the company’s people to defend the reputation of their workplace.  And everyone should be more vigilant with their words because badmouthing someone or anyone in public places can be a ground for a libel suit. You should be well-backed up with evidences before you accuse someone of something.


CASE CLOSED.

When I Rant…

So, I guess this is a come back post. I mean it’s been a long time that I haven’t ranted for something. It’s 7:48 in the morning and Mr. Sleepyhead hasn’t fetched me yet. So here I am sitting in front of my bloody monitor and obviously typing something. Well, I’m in a sort of “expiration” phase these past few days. I’m not inspired to write, and not even inspired to do anything but stare at my ym list of online buddies waiting for someone to go online and waiting for him to buzz me up. Yeah, that’s what I’ve been up to lately. I guess I’m still in a transition stage even after more than six months of believing that nothing has been severed and the only thing that happened is the decelaration of the intensity scale of friendship. Lolers!

When hatred consumes you

Lately, something crappy happened in the workplace because an employee resigned and then talked bullshit about the company in a local forum. I’ve heard a lot of rumors against this employee and it seems like everybody are so eager to pull off his friggin’ teeth. Well, I have already learned to love the place where I work now, and I have already made friendships to a few no-non-sense people there. When I read the guy’s post in the said forum I was quite appalled with his words. I mean what really happened to this guy that he had ranted a such? I always believe that a person can only be capable of stoning shits to his fellow when he is triggered by anger. And anger causes hatred that would trigger someone to talk shits and the likes. Something humiliating may had happened to him or something terrible had brushed off his ego.

And so my curiousity prevailed. I don’t want to hear speculations and one-sided stories that’s why I decided to ask the guy directly. I chatted with him thru ym and asked his part of the story. And as expected I am right. He is so angry because he thinks he is being “maltreated”. In his own construct someone made him feel useless and uncapable. His ego has been threatened and it became a hindrance for him to see his flaws. *yawns…* I guess I need to end this post up to here. I’ll continue this tomorrow. I’m sooo sleepy…
