internet depenedence… beware…

A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.

“You are employed” he said. “Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.

The man replied “But I don’t have a computer, neither an email”. “I’m sorry”, said the HR manager. If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And who doesn’t exist, cannot have the job.”

The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10Kg tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, he succe eded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles.

5 years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US . He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his email.

The man replied, “I don’t have an email.”

The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e mail?!!”

The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”

Moral of the story

M1 – Internet is not the solution to your life.

M2 – If you don’t have internet, and work hard and smart, you can be a millionaire.

M3- If you received this message by email, you are closer to being an office boy/girl, than a millionaire

P.S – I am closing my email & going to sell tomatoes!!! hehhe :)

Have a great day…!

more grief

After my friend’s funtastic wedding early October, I have seen several deaths come by

…my friend’s renowned scientist uncle dying suddenly from what seemed like a minor illness

… my own uncle succumbing to a short fight with lung cancer

… my officemate’s husband with heart attack

….my hockey mate’s young brother from a freak accident

…. and now my aunt’s sister, the same aunt whose husband we just buried last week

Makes you wonder why these things are happening… all in October

i am beyond words….

ang sagot ni Inday…

dang!

Amo : mula ngayon walang magsasalita ng ingles. Ang sinumang magpapadugo ng ilong ko at sa mga anak ko, palalayasin sa pamamahay na toh klaro bah?

Inday : ang mga namutawi sa inyong mga labi ay mataman ko pong iiimbak sa sulok ng aking balintataw, sa kaibuturan ng aking puso, gugunam gunamin, aariing salik ng aba at payak kong kapatiran. Tatalikod na ang matayog at palalong banyagang wika, manapay kakalingain, bibigkasin at sakdal timyas na sasambitin ng aking sangkalooban.

Ang bagong katunggali ni Inday..

jowi…. meet manang….

“Ang batayan ng pagiging mahusay na kasambahay ay hindi nasusukat sa kakayahan sa isang mahusay na pakikipagtalastasan gamit ang pananalitang banyaga. Sa halip, ito’y masusuri sa kakayahang gampanan ang pangkalahatang gawain at pagsisilbi sa taong paglilingkuran! WALA SA SALITA KUNDI SA GAWA!

alamat kung bakit nagsi-sinungaling ang mga lalaki…

This is it… the explanation why men lie…

Karpintero itong si Jojo at isang araw eh gumagawa siya ng isang bahay sa tabi ng ilog. Sa lakas ng pagma-martilyo niya eh nalaglag ang martilyo niya sa ilog…umiyak siya at lumitaw yung guardian angel niya, “tutulungan kita, Jojo”.. ..sabay lundag sa ilog.

Lumabas ito na me hawak na gold hammer,”ito ba ang martilyo mo?”… “hindi po”…lundag uli ang anghel at lumitaw na me silver hammer, “ito ba?”…”hindi po”…lundag uli sa ilog ang anghel at lumitaw na me ordinary hammer, “ito ba?”…”opo” …natuwa ang anghel, “dahil honest ka, bukod sa martilyo mo, sa ‘yo na rin ang gold and silver hammer”…

Makaraan ang ilang araw,naglalakad si Jojo sa ilog at kasama ang misis niya…eh sa katangahan,nalaglag si misis sa ilog…iyak si Jojo… litaw si guardian angel, “tutulungan kita”…sabay lundag sa ilog at ng lumitaw eh kasama si Paris Hilton, “ito ba ang misis mo?”

…sagot si Jojo, “opo”…nagalit si anghel, “sinungaling ka.akala ko pa naman mabait ka”… nag- reason-out si Jojo, “sorry po,angel…kasi kapag sinabi kong ‘Hindi’, eh lulundag ka uli sa tubig at pag-litaw mo eh kasama mo si Jessica Simpson, at pag sinabi ko uli na hindi siya ang asawa ko eh lulundag ka uli at ang tunay na misis ko na ang kasama mo.

At dahil sa kabaitan ko eh ibibigay mo din sa akin sina Paris at Jessica. Mahirap lang po ako at hindi ko kaya ang me tatlong asawa, kaya ‘Yes’ na lang ang sinagot ko nung una.

Moral of the story: kaya lang naman nagsi-sinungaling ang mga lalaki, Eh for a good and noble reason.
