BYE, GRAMPS....

I have never really known my grandfather. He was there when I was born and all throughout. He wasn't my REAL grandfather. He's my REAL grandfather's brother, my mom's uncle, but he was a constant presence in our lives. During occassions such as birthdays, or whatver, you'd expect him to be… Read full post »

Trying to be a model employee is hard. Pleasing my bf's  mom is almost rocket science.

It's maybe because of the rainy weather or because of the stress in the office, I had the flu for 2 days last week. Thank God it isn't anything close to AH1N1, but still I… Read full post »

Busybee

It has been a busy, busy week(s). To start off, the office has been one big hell hole. New projects keep coming. I know, I know, we must all be celebrating because in the midst of  a global crisis, we're still able to get clients. So there, I have been busy… Read full post »

Confessions of an OSaholic

There are already a number of posts here talking about the so called OS addiction. And based from what they have written it seemed to me that I am one of the OSaholics. I check on OS even if I am at work. Instead of checking on the resumes submitted online… Read full post »

Every quarter, my boss insist that we do a business review with the Associate Vice President.

I work in recruitment.

My job is to hire people. As many as possible. The more the merrier.

Lately, I wasn't so successful in getting people.

It's not because I can't find any. The

This photo is an ad from Surfrider Foundation and Saatchi & Saatchi LA calling attention to those who are polluting the ocean.

Remembering How...

When people ask me, when was the first time we've met, I say "20 years ago" and people eyes would bulge out of their sockets and say "Wha...?" Okay, okay that was an exaggeration. But the 20 years ago thing? Nope. We met way back in kindergarten. He was my classmate. He… Read full post »

What's It Like Living In Here

So what's it like living in a place where summer is 6 months a year? Hot. Warm. Hot and warm. It's heaven. And hell. 

I am living in an archipelago. So you see, beaches abound. Lots and lots of bodies of water.  

The beaches here are a sight. Fine white… Read full post »

Much Has Been Said

Joe D' Mango is one of the  popular DJs in the country. He became more popular through his TV show "Love Notes" which aired on one of our local TV stations. The show was, I think, a spin-off from his radio show.

So on his show, Joe D'Mango would read letters… Read full post »

Doggy Tales That Make Me Cry

I have recently dicovered Dogster and decided to join. I find some of the forums very informative. But what really touches me are the stories behind each dog. Since Pepper is a shih tzu, I searched other shih tzus. Here's a couple that made me all teary eyed:

The Dream

Last night I dreamt I was attending a party with a bunch of friends. Suddenly, a man in a black cape told us that the party was for a group of vampires and we were part of a game. We were then given these instructions: we will be let loose and we'll be given aRead full post »

Recession: Our Default State

So yesterday, a lot of OSers posted about the inauguration. Of course. It's.history.in.the.making. During Bush's stay, a lot of Americans lost their jobs, as what I read here in OS. And not just here, it's world news. They say America is in recession. And what about the rest of the world?… Read full post »
