The Keys to Your Heart |
You are attracted to obedience and warmth. |
In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. |
You'd like to your lover to think you are stylish and alluring. |
You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. |
Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. |
In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

The Keys to my Heart
Digging Skeletons
I am not impressed.
With this whole scandal regarding the Gloria-gate (since when did gate become a suffix now?), I cannot believe that they are regarding this recorded chopsuey of audio as a very strong piece of evidence. With all the power technology brings us, even a ten-year-old boy can produce a fake "wiretapped" conversation.
Even if the CD contains the truth, one can also point out the large gaps in between the conversations. For example, there was a supposed conversation on the 26th of May 2004 at 9:11 am between who they suspect as "Gary" and "Commissioner." Afterwards, the next conversation over that tapped phone was on 11:04? You mean to tell me that there was no calls on that phone for almost 2 hours? Another conversation was on May 26, 15:16. The next one happened at 19:50. What did they do in between those hours, have a siesta?
I do not even believe that the original, mother-of-all tape contains only three hours of conversations. What they have here is an edited masterpiece aimed to destroy the credibility of President Gloria.
They don't even know where these CDs come from. Even Tatad, who was pointed to be the source, tells everyone that it was sent to him. The opposition is playing a hands-off policy when it comes into involvement in this issue.
There was a pretty interesting conversation between a man and a woman, supposedly Gary and GMA on the tapes. Here is the transcribed conversation:
----------------------------------------------
Conversation between a man and a woman on 28 22:13 May 2004
Gary: Hello, good evening ma’am.
GMA: Hello, si the FPJ camp raw will file a case against the Board of Canvassers of ano, dun sa
Marawi and the Military?
Gary: Ano, ma’am?
GMA: The FPJ camp raw will file a case against the Board of Canvassers and the military in
Marawi.
Gary: Hindi naman po siguro nila maa-ano yung ating Board of Canvassers, pero ang military, si
Judane, sa kanila si judane. I do not know why they will file.
GMA: Oo, oo.
Gary: Sa kanila si Judane ma’am. In fact I have to work with Gen. Esteron and Gen. Qiamco at that time,
pinalitan nga niya si Judane for a while. Kaya kwan, pero bakit nila pafile-filan and military na sa kanila
lahat. Halos ayaw na nga mag-give way sa amin ng mga tao.

GMA: Oo, meron silang pinakidnap ... (line cut)
----------------------------------------------
It's a very interesting time for the line to be suddenly cut.
These and other discrepancies in the main but illegal evidence in this case brings me to think that both sides did somehow manipulate votes, tallies, ballots, and whatever they can use to place the advantage on their side. Probably, both sides were so good at it that they technically cancelled each other out, or at least 90% and finally showing that GMA won by a slim 1M margin.
But, no matter what happens, unfortunately, the country will lose whoever emerges victorious in this case. It's not just the candidates themselves, but also the citizens. As long as they don't stop complaining and thinking about what's best for themselves, even if you put the most holy and righteous man in the presidential seat, nothing will satisfy their hunger for nationwide improvement.
Come to think of it, even Jesus got crucified at the hands of selfish men. What more a mere mortal?

Running a little late
Just as I was about to go home, my boss came over my cubicle and asked me to do something. Although it meant that I would have to stay overtime, I gladly accepted to do the task. After all, it was my first actual work here for this project.
Now, I've finished what he has asked me to do. However, he is missing, and I'm just just waiting for him to come back from wherever he went.
My officemates eating lunch.
Ang saya-saya nila. Nakakaingit! :) Hindi ko kasi ka-batch, kaya ito. Pero fun sila. Very helpful.

You're Fired!
Update! --- Another 9 have been fired ---
Bubba Ray Dudley
D-Von Dudley
Joy Giovanni
Kenzo Suzuki
Matt Morgan
Charlie Haas
Jackie Gayda
Marty Jannetty
Dawn Marie
This move officially kills the tag team division of the Smackdown! brand. And Kenzo... :( Although no word has been said about Hiroko, which is strange.
Eight wrestlers, so far, have been released by the WWE.
Mark Jindrak
Maven
Shannon Moore
James Yun (Akio)
David Heath (Gangrel)
Billy Kidman
Spike Dudley
Kevin Fertig (Mordecai)
What's interesting to note is that almost all of these wrestlers are from the Smackdown! brand. Another interesting side note is the fact that WWE wants to resurrect the slowly dying Cruiserweight division. They brought in three very good cruiserweights in Psychosis, Juventud Guerrera and Super Crazy.
However, they fire four cruiserweights from the Smackdown roster. Akio isn't a bad wrestler. Shannon Moore is wrongly used. Billy Kidman is one of the main contenders for the title. Spike isn't just used.
I feel that they are slowly going to kill off the cruiserweight championship just like what they did to the women's title when they fired all the women wrestlers. I couldn't call Trish, Victoria or even Lita actual wrestlers when there are the likes of Gail Kim, Molly Holly, Shannon Spruill and even some of the women in WOW, Women of Wrestling, around.

MRT hit by accident
Unverified reports and hearsays claim that an accident happened in the Guadalupe station at 4:30 a.m today. According to these stories, a security guard supposedly got ran over by a train while on duty.Passengers coming from the south were warned ahead of time via the public address system that the trains will only stop at the Shaw Boulevard station. However, no official explanation was given causing a slight confusion among the passengers inside the MRT. This also caused a slight increase in traffic in the said area.
Milo Angtuaco, a passenger aboard one of the MRTs, claimed that although the announcement was made regarding the last station of the day, the voice coming from the PA system was unclear. He said that the only words he could make out of the garbled message were, "Shaw Boulevard Station."
Passengers were forced to go down an unfamiliar path and find a way to get to their actual destination. Angtuaco felt relieved that he was able to find a bus to Ayala especially during the morning rush hour. Yet, at the same time, he was a bit frustrated that the real situation was kept under wraps.
"Akala ko nga may sabotage na nangyari lalo na dahil sa mga sunod-sunod na protestang nangyayari sa bansa ngayon. (I thought there was a sabotage that happened especially since there are protests happening left and right in our country today)" Angtuaco said.

I got my key to my overhead bin already. Now I can really make this cubicle my own. Grabe, nagfefeeling manager na... lol
And no, kahit mukhang ganyan yung letrato, hindi pa rin call center ang Accenture. Hindi rin ako lumipat ng trabaho. Nakaheadset lang ako para di maingayan ang mga officemates ko.
---
Di ko pa masyadong ka-vibe ang mga officemates kong bago. Nakakaingit nga. Magkakakilala na kasi sila matagal na. Ako lang ang bago dito sa 6th floor. Mababait naman silang lahat, pero halatang ako ang pinakabata sa kanilang lahat. Namimiss ko tuloy makasama ang mga kabatch ko dito sa Accenture.

Welcome MSE!
I have this wonderful professional-looking carrel here with an overhead storage bin, and desk light. Saya! And P4 pa computer ko ngayon. One of my managers sits behind me. Fun... really.
Me in MSE
Looks like I'll be staying here in this project for at most 7 years... unless of course I opt to leave the company after 2 years. Time will tell.
But so far, I'm enjoying Accenture. :) So no worries mates.

The island
A: Hello? Anyone there?
*dead silence*
A: Where is everyone?
*crickets chirping*
A: Oh my heck, I've been separated from my bench friends.
B: So you've noticed.
A: Why did you put me here? I thought you wanted me to enjoy.
B: Everything has a purpose, even if it means leaving your friends behind.
A: Why did you place them all in the 5th? Why am I in the 6th?
B: Don't ask me, figure it out for yourself. Besides, I did not do the floor plan of the building or the seating arrangements.
A: I'm dying of "out of place" here. And I'm surrounded by people of higher ranking positions.
B: I put you in this island for a reason. This is a place full of life. Only you are the one turning it into a deserted island.
A: First day on the job, you give me a very difficult task. You know very well that when you look up the word shy in the dictionary, you see my name under it.
B: Is that my problem?
A: I'm so lost. My only company here is my computer, and the displaced thoughts of my YM buddies.
B: Then find your way.
A: You're just going to leave me high and dry here, aren't you?
B: Of course. After all, you turned it into a deserted island. Might as well make it a real one.

Conversations
A: Hey, mortal.
B: Yes, boss?
A: It's now time to shed your young Cubao boy days.
B: Where am I going?
A: I'm returning you to the land of financial gain, Makati.
B: But I love it here in bench. Love ko bench. Bench forever. All my friends are here.
A: I'm already taking all of your friends there one by one. I already took 4 today. I'm taking 8 next Monday, and that includes you.
B: But why?
A: It's the opportunity of a lifetime. You're lucky. You'll be taking the last open position in this department. You'll get to talk to international businessmen now.
B: You mean like Earl Strickland?
A: Well, if Earl is our client, then he will be. Besides, I know deep inside you want to return to Makati.
B: C'mon, it's harder for me to commute when I'm in Makati. I have to take several rides just to get home.
A: That's just a superficial reason.
B: No, it's not. Who wants to get stuck in a traffic jam everyday?
A: But this puts you on the same city map as you-know-who.
B: *speechless*
A: I always know what's best for you. Just go with the plan and never question my authority again.
B: Well, is that the real reason why you're sending me there? To have chances to meet her again?
A: Of course not. I never deal with matters of love. Too messy. I tried to spread it, and it got me killed back then. I gave you free will, use it.
B: But won't free will ruin your great plan?
A: My plan is for you to be happy. You won't do things that will make you uncomfortable in any sort of way. Unless of course, you love hurting yourself.
B: But didn't love hurt me before? Isn't love a good thing?
A: Love didn't hurt you before. You hurt yourself.
B: Yes, boss?
A: It's now time to shed your young Cubao boy days.
