Becoming a Beyonce Fan

Halo - Beyoncé

love love love this song. :D

Walang Hiya

I hate it when people go ahead and do stuff without my permission. I feel disrespected. Just because I say yes MOST of the time, one should not assume that it is OK if I were told at a later time.

I don't understand why I am being abused for my kindness. LIFE IS SO UNFAIR.

Sometimes I wish I could just turn into a mean person. So mean that no one would ever dare take advantage of me.

January 6

I'm having a bad day today. I can't wait for it to end.

First someone tells me I'm fat. Or at least that's how I interpreted it. I already know I am for crying out loud. My pants are tight. I look like a muffin. I can't even step on the scale to face the hard cold truth. Another slap in the face is the last thing I need, thank you very much.

Work has not been too kind since I got back from the holidays. Today was tough as I had to deal with not so ordinary situations. I made mistakes, disappointing ones. The kind that makes you want to beg earth to swallow you whole. Oh, and one more thing. I'm working with the most disgusting person in the world. I won't disclose details, trust me you don't want to know. Though maybe one of these days I'll do a special post about that. So you see, I'm having so much fun. :(

Add a splitting headache to all that.

Nice.
