If it's not broke. Don't fix it

This used to be my favorite McDo branch of all, because I feel nostalgic whenever I visit it.

but even good things come to an end

Good News. Bad News. Can't decide.

2005. Graduated, licensed, trained for additional skills as a Licensed Professional Nurse


Same year. Sought help from Agency who promised Masteral Education + Employment


Fast Forward 2011. I'm still here. Had to resend credentials to CGFNS. Retake IELTS.


April 26, 2012. Agency pressing to sign another contract. Priority date nearing.


No bedside nursing experience. The new contract didn't have the schooling benefit.


Backed out.


Have to start from scratch.


Now I don't have to leave the country. 


But I feel like I just wasted 6 years of lies with them.

QA

After months of hardwork

I finally got promoted.

Now to start phase 2:

Gym

French

Fine. Saksak nyo sa baga nyo.
UP lang ba state university?
Di ba ang sablay ay "for nationalism"?
Exclusive?

Come again?

There are more than two sides of a story.

My thoughts:

1. Put more than a thousand people in one place + sponsors/vendors = TRASH. I don't have to be in a running event to expect that. I'm sure when the EDSA revolution was held (several times) there was the same predicament.
2. Not all of them are "nature lovers" they would've planted a tree instead or cleaned up a portion of the city. Don't we have marathons almost every single week and for every time there is a monetary humanitarian reason to do so. It's like the new "bar" to be seen. 
3. Why the running fad became so popularly expensive I do not know. The roads have been there ever since. No need for some fancy shirt even.
4. Hydration is important. Paper cups might be more practical. I hope they just placed trash bins strategically. Water bottles? Nah. I'm sure it'll be uncomfortable running with a jug. Doesn't look good on the photovendo too. People stopping for a refill would only consume more minutes in their stats. 
5. Douse runners with a water pump? Sounds fun AND sexy. Haha! But wouldn't that cause water spoilage and slippery roads won't be safe. 
6. Smoky mountain and Payatas for venues? I don't think that'll be sanitary or safe. 
7. So you really wanna be an Earth hero by running? Do that daily on your way to school or work.   

Alam na

Nakow. Di yan pwedeng mauso ditey! WIT WIT WIT!

Mabubuking LAHAT ng sisterette!

Dear Papa Paulo

Noong una hindi naman kita mapapansin dahil sadyang pretty boy ka lang. Yung tipong hambait bait mong tingnan pag nagsmile, parang ganito:

Not until nakita ko ang Bench ad mo at saka nalaglag ang brief ko muling nakilala ang linyang "naughty and nice"...

Akala ko pa nga, to the rescue pa eksena mo sa CDO?

Look alike lang pala. Pwede na rin. Char! Kaya nga nung nakita kong ikaw ang cover boy ng Garage Mag, hindi na ako kumain ng lunch maiuwi ka lang...

Pero as I flipped through the pages...

Bakit wala naman yatang cuts o abs?




P.S.


Tapus na Holy Week, pero like Doubting Thomas, maniniwala akong hindi airbrush o Photoshop lang ito pag nahimas nakita na kita in person






XOXO
