Change

Is it possible to change without a slight conscious effort? I'm currently working in our business yet it feels like I'm sucked in to this arena that I became a bitchy boss. I remember one of my ex-officemate who told me that she cannot imagine me "bitchy" because it doesn't seem like my nature. And so I wonder....

I'm naturally a peace lover but this system makes me distrust people...though I hate to....now I don't think twice anymore.

I certainly would not want to be described as that. Though honestly I don't seem to care what others think anymore...it is that I became numb to society's judgment.

I want to be nice.... But I want to be a good manager.

But how can you be both...?

Wordless

Perfection

My word for the day:

I am currently listening to Katy Perry's Thinking of you, the last word that etched my mind: Perfection. The beauty of the word feels profound to hear especially in relation to events, situation, creation. Perfection is one of things that reflects beauty. Perfection is also deemed unattainable to some...or maybe we are continuously evolving, we find better things in life eventually.

I keep measuring myself with perfection and I'm actually far from it...but honestly, I don't seem to mind. I can't be perfect...I can't reach that perfection that in the end, I couldn't hope for more.

I like hoping, I like dreaming...for better things. I want to be satisfied and yet know how everyday I can still improve. Guess I got a lifetime to experience that.

Do what you have to do

Sarah Mclachlan's
Do what you have to do

Conjured this temptuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rules of love
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do
And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do ...
And I have the sense to recognize that
I dont know how to let you go
Every moment marked
With apparitions of your soul
Im ever swiftly moving
Trying to escape this desire
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
The yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
But I have the sense to recognize
That I dont know how
To let you go
I dont know how
To let you go
A glowing ember
Burning hot
Burning slow
Deep within Im shaken by the violence
Of existing for only you
I know I cant be with you
I do what I have to do
I know I cant be with you
I do what I have to do
And I have sense to recognize but
I dont know how to let you go
I dont know how to let you go
I dont know how to let you go

Something to ponder upon

Love

There is always someone in the world waiting for someone else, whether in the middle of the desert or in the heart of some big city. And when these two people’s paths cross and their eyes meet, the whole of the past and the whole of the future lose all importance, and there only exists that moment and that incredible certainty that everything under the Sun was written by the very same Hand. The Hand that awakens Love and creates a sister soul for everyone who works, rests and seeks treasures under the Sun. Were it not for this, the dreams of the human race would make no sense.

Rant about competitors (Quaipo secrets)

YES! I'm the daughter of one of the owners of the shop in Hidalgo in Quaipo Manila...and I hate what our competitor is doing...and I can't even rant about what he is doing in forums because people will think I'm being biased (naninira) or something...oh come on...why would I care to do that? The only problem is we can't seem to answer back his doings (he kept telling his customers bad things about our store while he gets away tricking his customers)

He is none other than RAMON of Mayer's Photo!! Infamous for his rudeness...and yet people think they are good if they were able to get good offers from him.....

I don't care if he read this or not...I just want to tell other people what he does!!

He gives the CHEAPEST offer, gives so much freebies, but heck, people don't know he changes his lenses from CDSC to grey or the generic batteries and sell the original separately. Of course, some would say proof?? Do people check?? No! Because the they really know the difference...I'm not saying they are ignorant....not all are professional photograhers...a lot are newbies....thus..maybe tricked...and though out of 10 people who bought, if ever two returns and complains, he would apologize and say "oh maybe my sales demo gave you the wrong one" and give them the original! See?? He can easily appease people with that...not all people are smart consumers...they will still come back and think..."yea maybe he made a mistake, not sadya or something, plus he gave us freebies...blah blah blah" He is forgiven and his tricks repeated.

There are a lot of avid buyers of Mayer, they still go back to him, of course thinking "mura e!!?!?!" and yet TRUE BUSINESS HONESTY is not implemented. Seldom do they complain thinking yea...MISTAKE LANG!!?! Yea right!?!?! PINAPALITAN KASI AGAD...well not knowing niloko na sila in the first place that's why he swap you a new one!

I couldn't complain...I know the business, I know the tricks but we do not do that. I keep telling my parents, don't follow his style...it's not honest...and we do not fight back to his level....he keep saying we do not have warranty etc etc and people believe?!? am i frustrated? Actually yes...but couldn't seem to fight back directly...because I seem to be a sore competitor!!

And all I do is rant in my blog, with very few traffic...with few readers who might read this....well..I hope I can warn other people......

Christmas season

A day more...I'm almost home! yey!!!!!!!!
