Why guys can be completely a pain in the ass?
Why do they take advantage of you? Coz you let them to? Come on that's unfair.
Why do they play with your feelings? Try to be close, closer, even "closest" to you and suddenly drop you like a hot potato?
Why do they love playing mind games?
Why do they give us girls false hopes?
Why some of them are insensitive?
Why some of them are irresponsible beings?
Why do they cheat? That's why girls are starting to cheat nowadays.
... and yet we still want them. hahahahahahahaha!
Moral Lesson: Beware of assholes.

Work Week
this blog is becoming more and more work related. lol. what can i say? that's where i spend most of my time now.
hmmm.. this week has been very busy for me. i was tasked to do thousands of taxonomy (classifying each client according to its industry, sector, and subsector) and then mbak dian and i were tasked by our boss to accomplish a request from the CEO. we had to gather all the French-owned businesses in Indonesia. we had to call French agencies to help us out. i called the Indonesian French Chamber of Commerce and the girl said we can buy the directory for Rp300.000 (Php1500). my boss is so kuripot that she had to instruct me to bargain the directory for free or at least get a big discount.
tuesday: we don't need to pay that much just for a directory. i recommend that you do it manually by using the Foreign Businesses in Indonesia 2006. uhm? i had to go through that page by page and sort all the French businesses.
wednesday: ok we get the book but ask if we can get it for free. wtf? i'm working in a Big 4 firm and we have to act very thrifty! ok fine, i called the Chamber and ask if they got "special rates" for us. the girl said no so i told my boss. she goes like, ok let the librarian do the transaction and she was able to get it for half the price. so what is the conclusion, pabaya ka Trish! you have to learn how to bargain from her. come on! i can bargain in Mal Ambasador or ITC but not in a Chamber for crying out loud! I was carrying the name of the company! nakakahiya! anyway..
thursday: she said, the librarian was so resourceful the she was able to get it half the price. then my workmate said, trish got a more useful info from the Trade Commission. my boss, you see trish you were such a negative thinker thinking that they won't reply. come on! you were rushing me and they haven't replied when you asked for the update! so why did we get that book? BECAUSE YOU SAID SO AND YOU WERE SO IMPATIENT!
after few minutes... btw trish, the CEO said we could've gotten it easier coz he knows someone from the Chamber. i didn't tell him that we paid for it. otherwise... but if he asked, i wouldn't cover the truth that we actually did. ANO DAW? PAGTATAKPAN NIYA KO? what did i do?
thursday night: she texted me asking for the file that she asked me to e-mail her which i did. so i just told her that i already sent it and if she couldn't find it. it can be found in.. a certain link..
friday: she repremanded us in front of everyone by saying that the file should be put in a folder lalalala... i asked: were you able to receive my email? she replied, i found it in the TRASH coz i accidentaly DELETED it. what the? anong gusto niyang mangyari? sa akin niya isisise na binura niya email ko?!
tsk tsk..
my workmate's say on this, EAT SHIT! hahaha!
p.s. i wanted to pay her Rp150.000 just for the heck of it. hahaha!

7 Habits To Win In Office Politics
I came across this article and find it very interesting and timely..
Office politics - a taboo word for some people. It’s a pervasive thing at the workplace. In it’s simplest form, office politics is simply about the differences between people at work; differences in opinions, conflicts of interests are often manifested as office politics. It all goes down to human communications and relationships.
There is no need to be afraid of office politics. Top performers are those who have mastered the art of winning in office politics. Below are 7 good habits to help you win at the workplace:
HABIT #1 - BE AWARE YOU HAVE A CHOICE
The most common reactions to politics at work are either fight or flight. It’s normal human reaction for survival in the wild, back in the prehistoric days when we were still hunter-gatherers. Sure, the office is a modern jungle, but it takes more than just instinctive reactions to win in office politics. Instinctive fight reactions will only cause more resistance to whatever you are trying to achieve; while instinctive flight reactions only label you as a pushover that people can easily take for granted. Neither options are appealing for healthy career growth.
Winning requires you to consciously choose your reactions to the situation. Recognize that no matter how bad the circumstances, you have a choice in choosing how you feel and react. So how do you choose? This bring us to the next point…
HABIT #2 - KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE
When conflicts happens, it’s very easy to be sucked into tunnel-vision and focus on immediate differences. That’s a self-defeating approach. Chances are you’ll only invite more resistance by focusing on differences in people’s positions or opinions.
The way to mitigate this without looking like you’re fighting to emerge as a winner in this conflict is to focus on the business objectives. In the light of what’s best for the business, discuss the pros and cons of each option. Eventually, everyone wants the business to be successful; if the business don’t win, then nobody in the organization wins. It’s much easier for one to eat the humble pie and back off when they realize the chosen approach is best for the business.
By learning to steer the discussion in this direction, you will learn to disengage from petty differences and position yourself as someone who is interested in getting things done. Your boss will also come to appreciate you as someone who is mature, strategic and can be entrusted with bigger responsibilities.
HABIT #3 - FOCUS ON YOUR CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE
At work, there are often issues which we have very little control over. It’s not uncommon to find corporate policies, client demands or boss mandates which affects your personal interests. Bitching and complaining are common responses to these events that we cannot control. But think about it, other than that short term emotional outlet, what tangible results do bitching really accomplish? In most instances, none.
Instead of feeling victimized and angry about the situation, focus on the things that you can do to influence the situation - your circle of influence. This is a very empowering technique to overcome the feeling of helplessness. It removes the victimized feeling and also allows others to see you as someone who knows how to operate within given constraints. You may not be able to change or decide on the eventual outcome, but you can walk away knowing that you have done the best within the given circumstances.
Constraints are all around in the workplace; with this approach, your boss will also come to appreciate you as someone who is understanding and positive.
HABIT #4 - DON’T TAKE SIDES
In office politics, it is possible to find yourself stuck in between two power figures who are at odds with each other. You find yourself being thrown around while they try to outwit each other and defend their own position. All at the expense of you getting the job done. You can’t get them to agree on a common decision for a project, and neither of them want to take ownership of issues; they’re too afraid they’ll get stabbed in the back for any mishaps.
In cases like this, focus on the business objectives and don’t take side with either of them - even if you like one better than the other. Place them on a common communication platform and ensure open communications among all parties so that no one can claim “I didn’t say that”.
By not taking sides, you’ll help to direct conflict resolution in an objective manner. You’ll also build trust with both parties. That’ll help to keep the engagements constructive and focus on business objectives.
HABIT #5 - DON’T GET PERSONAL
In office politics, you’ll get angry with people. It happens. There will be times when you feel the urge to give that person a piece of your mind and teach him a lesson. Don’t.
People tend to remember moments when they were humiliated or insulted. Even if you win this argument and get to feel really good about it for now, you’ll pay the price later when you need help from this person. What goes around comes around, especially at the work place.
To win in the office, you’ll want to build a network of allies which you can tap into. The last thing you want during a crisis or an opportunity is to have someone screw you up because they habour ill-intentions towards you - all because you’d enjoyed a brief moment of emotional outburst at their expense.
Another reason to hold back your temper is your career advancement. Increasingly, organizations are using 360 degree reviews to promote someone.
Even if you are a star performer, your boss will have to fight a political uphill battle if other managers or peers see you as someone who is difficult to work with. The last thing you’ll want is to make it difficult for your boss to champion you for a promotion.
HABIT #6 - SEEK TO UNDERSTAND, BEFORE BEING UNDERSTOOD
The reason people feel unjustified is because they felt misunderstood. Instinctively, we are more interested in getting the others to understand us than to understand them first. Top people managers and business leaders have learned to suppress this urge.
Surprisingly, seeking to understand is a very disarming technique. Once the other party feels that you understand where he/she is coming from, they will feel less defensive and be open to understand you in return. This sets the stage for open communications to arrive at a solution that both parties can accept. Trying to arrive at a solution without first having this understanding is very difficult - there’s little trust and too much second-guessing.
HABIT #7 - THINK WIN-WIN
As mentioned upfront, political conflicts happen because of conflicting interests. Perhaps due to our schooling, we are taught that to win, someone else needs to lose. Conversely, we are afraid to let someone else win, because it implies losing for us.
In business and work, that doesn’t have to be the case.
Learn to think in terms of “how can we both win out of this situation?” This requires that you first understand the other party’s perspective and what’s in it for him. Next, understand what’s in it for you. Strive to seek out a resolution that is acceptable and beneficial to both parties. Doing this will ensure that everyone truly commit to the agree resolution and not pay only lip-service to it.
People simply don’t like to lose. You may get away with win-lose tactics once or twice, but very soon, you’ll find yourself without allies in the workplace. Thinking win-win is an enduring strategy that builds allies and help you win in the long term.

Current song running in my head
The Little Things - Colbie Calliat
[Verse One]
The little things, you do to me are,
Taking me over, I wanna show ya
Everything inside of me,
Oh,
Like a nervous heart that, is crazy beatin,
My feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes, get your attention,
Before you pass me by...
[Chorus]
Back up, back up,
Take another chance,
Don't you,
Mess up, Mess up,
I don't wanna lose you,
Wake up, wake up,
This aint just a thing that you,
Give up, give up,
Don't you say that I'd be,
Better off, better off,
Sleepin by myself and wantin the rain to come,
Better off, better off,
Without you boy...
[Verse One]
The little things, you do to me are,
Taking me over, I wanna show ya
Everything inside of me,
Like a nervous heart that, is crazy beatin,
My feet are stuck here, against the pavement
I wanna break free, I wanna make it
Closer to your eyes, get your attention,
Before you pass me by...
[Chorus]
Back up, back up,
Take another chance,
Don't you,
Mess up, Mess up,
I don't wanna lose you,
Wake up, wake up,
This aint just a thing that you,
Give up, give up,
Don't you say that I'd be,
Better off, better off,
Sleepin by myself and wantin the rain to come,
Better off, better off,
Without you boy...
[Interlude]
Don't just leave me,
Hangin on,
Don't just leave me,
Hangin on...

Yummy Dinner and Mini Haul
I made ref cake today because my brother threatened me. Sabi niya, "Ate, kung ayaw mong hindi na makita ang mga mineral make up mo, you better make one." hahaha!
Crab and corn soup
Lamb leg and Prime Rib Eye Steak
Ranch's Popular Salad + peaches
Last week I bought this pair of shoes from Marie Claire. It's classic. I'm using it now at my new
internship work at Ernst & Young. ;)
I cleaned my brushes over the weekend to prepare for my first day at work.
New things I've acquired so far..
I cannot write longer since I'm using the office's laptop. I'm bored :O my work was done a couple of minutes ago.. I hope the traffic will be lighter later than last friday.

Hitting two birds in one stone.
If I wanted a new phone, laptop, mp3 player, money, or just free drinks/dinner, I could have had it. :) Why? Tonight is a very interesting, funny, but scary and depressing night. Hmm.. Way back in Manila, I would always hear stories about cheating husbands or wives but I never see a living proof of it so I thought it wasn't that bad. Here I often hear stories, even those people who you least expect to have one has one. Bad bad. Awhile ago I was hanging out with 2 of my friends in Loewy - a resto bar just across our apartment building. As we were having a good chat about relationships, Jakarta, hobbies, and stuff, my friend and I was so surprised to see this Pinoy guy with the rumored young mistress. Aha! She's fat but yah, she looks young. No wonder why people give a second look to me and my dad everytime we walk around the mall. Haha! Well, this guy got a lot to prove specially he's looks. Prolly he cannot get to much attention from people or even his own wife. Haha! It wasn't really a big deal for me because he is a self-proclaimed babaero - womanizer. So we continued our conversation and then, surprise again! One of our family friends, arrive the resto with another girl! Tadah! I knew that their relationship was already on the rocks but I remember him telling that he's trying to patch things up with his wife. Is that his way of trying?
I got a lot of questions in my mind now. Why? Why? Why? Is it? Is it? Is it?

Getting Organized
It's been awhile since I last blogged coz I've been busy with my internship hunt. I got a couple of options but we'll see.. Mom and Dad went home so I'm currently in charge of everything. I've been hanging out with my friend, Leah a lot lately. We also found a new friend here, Malou. So yah.. My network here is becoming larger.
I have accumulated some beauty stuff lately...
2 Nyx trio for Rp112,00 - grrr. this is not a great deal because they're selling it online for around $6. :( nonetheless, the quality is good and I didn't have to wait for shipping.
Bloom's concealer brush - so far so good, it helps me blend my concealer better than using my bare finger tips.
2 Tina's dresser e/s brush - I wanted to have more e/s brushes to help me blend my newly acquired e/s. Tina's dresser brand is a good brand. I have their powder brush, blusher brush, and eyelash brush so far they are performing well considering the price which is not so expensive.
Nyx e/s applicator - I dunno why I bought it. Impulse.
Skinfood cream e/s - I use it as a base e/s.
L'oreal Made for Naturals lipstick - It gives me a natural look. This has been my favorite from the time I bought it.
Skinfood Pre-make up gel in Green Tea variant - I only used it twice, I guess it gives more matte finish of my make up.
I hate it. I'm starting to buy things which I don't really need that's why I'm broke now. :(
Anyway, I started to fix my things this morning. I'm not yet done though. But I took some before and after pics.
AFTER
I need a bag hanger.. Any idea? That's one thing that I don't like in an apartment, so many things, so little space.

Teman Tapi Mesra (Friends but Intimate)
Teman tapi mesra (TTM) is a bahasa indonesia term which literally means friends (teman) but (tapi) intimate (mesra).
When I first went to Indonesia, I thought it was a very conservative country because as we all know it is a Muslim-dominated country. I even asked my dad if I can wear sleeveless here. Haha! :D After living here for a year and a half, I proved myself wrong. It's basically just the same with the Philippines or sometimes maybe even more liberated due to suppressed feelings kept inside.
TTM is a very popular acronym especially amongst teenagers. The setup is just like flings. Though I cannot think of an exact term in Filipino. If you say you are TTM with each other, it means that you can act just like how couples act - kiss, sweetie tweety stuff, or maybe farther than that. I got a friend who got a bunch of TTMs but I would usually call it his FUBUs (fcuk buddies) and he would say nah, it sounds dirty and he prefers to call it friends with benefits in English. What's the diff? Fine, you're still friends after doing it.
Hmm.. In my opinion, usually at the end girls lose the game. Why? Cause girls are generally emotional. Once they became close with a guy there is a tendency that they would like the guy even if they have a no commitment arrangement. I actually thought about getting a TTM but I realized that I will just be getting myself another pain in the ass.
There are a lot of reasons why people nowadays tend to enter this kind of setup. I can just think of some, maybe you can add some more.
1. They are afraid to commit. Most people has their share of stories regarding heartaches and traumas on serious relationships that is why they just want to have fun and at the same time enjoy the "benefits" of having a partner without worrying too much.
2. They got no time for a serious relationship. I don't really agree with this because when you really like the person, no matter how busy you are, you can always find time. It shows that you're not really into him/her. Again, you just want the "benefits".
3. You are just so horny and don't want to worry about apa-apa (whatever). You are sick of demanding relationships, hate responsibilities, or maybe just want to have pure fun.
I got more reasons but I'm starting to get lazy. It is a sad reality but with this happening I could say that most people's values are really deteriorating nowadays. Sex is nothing. You can do it with whoever. The sanctity of marriage is no longer as precious as before.

Salon Saturday
The entire family went to Plangi. We had lunch there and went to the salon. I got my maniped- silver feet and french manicure (apparently, it chipped off right away coz squanie was sleepy and didn't want to be with the nanny). Dad and Allen had a haircut while Mom had her nails done and her hair set for their wedding and engagement parties tonight (uhuh! 2 parties in one night). I did her make-up, I wonder if it really looked good but nonetheless she got no choice coz she can't do her own make-up. Haha! :) While waiting for Mom to finish at the salon and Dad with his body massage, squanie and Allen accompanied me. We went to 3 mobile (yes, it's a competitor but it's not a CDMA provider so I guess it's kinda fine ) and I bought a new sim card again because they offer this unlimited YM use for only Rp10k/month = P50. cheap enough right? It took me so long to register and stuff then after an hour they were able to send me the needed YM application. Bad thing is the application doesn't show all my contacts (I wonder why?!? but I'm too lazy to complain because it will take decades again for them to respond). Here in Indo, most customer service is really poor because people just accept whatever is handed to them, they get contented easily unlike Pinoys. After that, squanie, yaya, and I went to Centro. As usual, I roamed around the make-up counters and suddenly remembered that I need to buy a make-up primer. I noticed that my make-up doesn't stay that long and I read somewhere that a good primer will help make-up to last longer so I strolled around and look for my options. Most primers cost around Rp140-250k = P700-1250. I saw several brands like Make Up Forever, VOV, Etude, and Bourjois. I was about to buy Etude's but I saw Bourjois' they have the same price Rp145k but Etude's contains more. I really can't decide so I asked the salesladies where Etude's was made, she said it is made in Korea while Bourjois' is from Paris so it became a Korea vs Paris criteria. Well it's kinda obvious, I chose the one from Paris. Haha! Although my brother said, it was Gila! (crazy) 20mL primer for Rp145k which is around Rp7k/mL. Anything for the sake of kagandahan.
Here's what I bought: Bourjois Complexion Enhancer (Apricot shade)
Photo grabbed from: http://www.asos.com

I tried to use it to Mom, I applied L'oreal UV Block first then this Bourjois Complexion Enhancer as a base and it looks good. It gives a glow and it doesn't leave a sticky feel. I read good reviews to this product but thing is it's not pocket friendly. I still need to try out Monistat. Any kind hearted friend from the US who can send me one? haha! :)
On second thought, I wonder why everytime I buy a make-up product, I don't think twice. I should've bought the denim pants from Orange instead. ugh! It has been done so be it.

another so so friday :)
so how was yesterday? i spent most of the time at home with squanie and mom. we had lunch at The Royal Kitchen, an indian buffet resto right below our apartment. the food was so so.. well, pretty fine for Rp45000 but still i didn't enjoy it. it was too spicy for me. we watched Made in Heaven at home. omg! the guy really reminds me of a good friend here in jakarta. are we gonna have the same ending, pop? haha! my not-so-dream guy. at 7ish, dad fetched us but allen wasn't able to come along because he went home late. it was too traffic (indo guys would call it "jammed") that we cannot hit pacific place so we decided to go to setia budi and had dinner at golden century. nothing so special bout it. then, they brought squanie and me home as they fetched allen to watch dark knight. i'm not into movies so it was fine for me to stay behind. so before i slept i had my usual chat with jay then slept early. around 11ish.. boring? well yah, a bit. hopefully, today will get better.

hoping for a good new blog start
tick tack.. tick tack.. yes! finally! i was able to find time to make a new blog account. i had my blog 5 years ago and it is still alive but it is just full of crap and mushiness that nobody would really like to read it. so why did i make a new blog account? hmm.. i don't know either. i just wanted a new space to utter my random thoughts about life.. mummyhood, kikayness, studenthood, and quarter-age crisis (have you ever heard of that? i just heard about it last night. it was my friend, mike's conclusion on why i am feeling so weird and unbalanced lately.) i hope this will be more interesting than my old blog- less drama (i wish) and more fun. plus, more time to update so it won't be just another wasted blog account on blogger.com.
