People Who are Cashing in on What Happened to Japan

(Source: http://laos-dothedu.tumblr.com/post/3825038906/japan-today)

I think most of us are already aware of what happened to Japan, right? And it's really devastating that a lot of people on Tumblr, especially teenagers, are cashing in on the events by making dumb ~*WoRdArTs*~ 

I'm not saying that all those who made ~*WoRdArTS*~ about the said events just want attention, fame, notes and followers. But it's obvious to some kids. It's obvious that they just want to have a lot of followers and notes. You'll see that when you look at their word arts. I don't really know how to explain this but...You'll really feel the sincerity in some text posts and word arts. But with the others, none. It's as if they just go with the flow and make word arts just because what happened to Japan is the popular topic on Tumblr.

What made me languish are the "Reblog this and I'll donate" text posts. Dude, why do we have to reblog your text post for you to donate to Japan? If you're really sincere about donating money, you won't wait for people to reblog your post. You'll donate money even if people won't give a damn on what you'll do. And for the so-called "organizations" I found on Tumblr who have text posts saying that, "For every reblog this gets, we will donate *insert amount of money here*" Bitch, please. Again, if you guys are really sincere, you won't make people do things to promote you just for you guys to donate. And is there really a program or something that would raise the fund of an organization just by reblogging? IDTS. You don't have to know if people would give a damn if you donate money. If you really want to donate, you'll donate without being promoted or whatever.

As for me, I'd rather sign petitions or donate money to organizations like Global Living, Red Cross, International Medical Corps, etcetera. Because I know these organizations are legal. For my readers who want to help and donate, click this.

Restaurant Peeves

Ohai guise. Mhuszta nua keu pfhoes? Namisz nio va aqou? Hindi aqou nakapag post last month nouh? Busy kaszi sa school iih.

Don't mind those Jeje words above. I'm just messing with you and I kinda miss the issues about Jejemons. Hehe. But uhm...this post is not about Jejemons and their ~*RaD*~ hand signs. TROLOLOL. This post is all about my experience at Shakey's Paseo (Random. I know).

I ate there a few times already. Sometimes, with my family and most of the time, with my friends. The problem with this restaurant is that it takes a lot of time to serve the food. As in! It's not good to eat there if you're starving because you'll end up getting your food when you're already dead. JK. Hahaha. Well, that's not really the problem because restaurants cook the food when the customers already ordered. Not unlike in fast foods wherein the food are already cooked before the customers order. My real problem at Shakey's is the attitude of some of the waitresses working there. Like, seriously.

Based from my observation, when their customer is middle-aged or let's just say...older than them, they treat the customer nicely. I think this is because most of the middle-aged people already have jobs. Meaning, they have money to pay for what they ordered. But if the customers are young people and their eating at a fancy restaurant, sometimes you can't help but to think if these kids have money to pay for what they ordered especially if they don't have an older person with them. But don't get me wrong. Just because some kids don't look like they have money doesn't mean they really can't pay. And just because these kids are younger than you doesn't mean you could disrespect them.

I've experienced being disrespected by waitresses a few times already. And just what I've expected, I've been disrespected whenever I'm with my friends (Actually, I only experienced that at Shakey's Paseo). My recent experience was when I'm with my boyfriend and clique. One of my friends ate his packed lunch at Shakey's instead of ordering food like what the rest of us did. And this bitchy waitress kept on looking at him. I somehow understand her because what my friend did is kinda uhm...improper? Or maybe because I never brought food in a restaurant then eat it there without ordering food from them. Hehe. Anyway, when the food (including the beverages) was served, I noticed that the bitchy waitress didn't give me straw for my beverage. I always drink from the straw whenever I eat outside. So I asked her nicely to give me a straw. And you know what her response was?

Teka lang ha? (Just wait, okay?)

And I was like, Oh hell naw! *raised an eyebrow* I was shocked and at the same time, got really pissed off by her behavior because

1. I asked her nicely.
2. I'm the one who ordered a lot of food. So obviously, I'm the one who has a lot of money here, bitch.
3. I don't have bad breath or whatever.
4. I didn't do/say anything mean to her.
5. I asked her nicely.
6. I asked her nicely.
7. I asked her nicely. And lastly...
8. I asked her nicely.

My friends teased me because of the waitress's response. But that didn't make me shout at the abominable bitch and call her manager. I really wanna tell her these things even before my friends teased me:

"Excuse me? How dare you disrespect me eh you're just a waitress here. I was just asking you to get me a straw because you didn't give it to me when you served the damn beverages! Where's your manager?! With 1 Million exclamation points!!"

But alas! I didn't tell her that because I don't want people to think that the younger generation are now choleric war freaks. I still have some respect for that bitch because she's older than me. And as much as possible, I don't want to be in trouble because I don't want people to think that my family didn't raise me well. And besides, she did give the straw without uttering a word. Maybe because my friends teased me with what she told me.

What happened wasn't really a big deal for some people. But I really don't like being disrespected. I mean, who does? A lot of people are more patient and forgiving tho. Good thing I was in a good mood when we ate at Shakey's. If She snapped at me when I'm in my period, that bitch would have lost her job or been scolded by her manager. Because I would really make a scene and talk to the manager. TROLOLOL.

I really don't get it why people like her apply for a job that mainly deals with people. I mean, you have to treat your customers right even though they aren't that nice. But I guess it's hard to look for a job nowadays especially when you're an undergraduate. So you hafta grab every opportunity even though you don't like it or you're not good at it. Still, it's the companies' fault for hiring people who are not really qualified for the job. A person's attitude is important in this kind of job because you really have to talk to the customers. Ahk. So much for pleasing personality eh? Tss.

P.S. I have no posts last February because I was so busy, not because I'm bitter or whatever. People, my Valentine's Day celebration went well. And my lovelife's fine. ;)

Seriously

Why the fuck do people give a damn on hate messages from anonymous people? They don't even know who the fuck the person is behind that bald faceless creature.

This is what I learned from our Introso class. I hope you'll learn from this:

Kapag ang bata (e.g. anak mo) ay nagmamaktol o nagwawala sa isang pampublikong lugar, at kapag bumigay ka, pinansin mo siya o pinagbigyan.. Gagawin at gagawin niya `yun dahil nakikita niyang nakukuha niya ang gusto niya. Pero kung tinitigan mo lang ang bata habang nagwawala, siya na mismo ang mapapahiya at hindi niya na ulit gagawin `yun. (Mrs. Estefani)

What's the lesson? How is this related to the topic? It's just simple, kids. If you won't mind your "haters" and move on with your life (if you have any), then they will eventually stop bugging you after a few hours or days.

You keep on telling those anonymous tormentors that you don't fucking care, yet.. You keep on wasting your time posting stupid replies. The truth is, you're hurt and you want your followers to defend you from the harsh words stated by your anonymous haters. If you don't really fucking care, why did you waste your time posting those stupid and immature replies? Why did you waste your energy?

I don't know if you're really affected or you're just an attention whore who wants to receive GV messages from your dear followers. Pfft. Lame. Do you want me to buy you a life? I hope there's a buy 1 take 1 life in the mall, lemme buy you some. /lulsjk.

But yeh, seriously.. If I were you.. Read. Reflect. Ignore. Delete. Move on. are the right ninja moves, baby. You don't have to make your life complicated.

Why Brag?

I hate people who brag about what they have, what they have done, etc. It's alright to share your experiences to others, but not to the point that you'll shove them off to their faces. It's irritating.

Why do you have to brag about what you have if you haven't experienced everything? Yes, for sure you haven't experience everything yet. For sure, you don't have everything. You may tell me that you have experienced things that others haven't experienced yet. But do you realize that you also haven't experienced the things others have already experienced? You have things that others don't have. But other people also have some things that you don't have.

So what is the point of bragging if life is just really fair? Let's say you have the latest gadgets, the most expensive crap, etc. So what? What's the point of buying expensive stuff if you are not satisfied with their use?

I have bought a lot of original and expensive stuff. I have also bought a lot of stuff from the Ukay-Ukay. I'm not conyo, I admit that. I am not one of those socialites who only buy branded things, stuff that worth a million+, etc. I am a simple person with a simple life and I'm trying my best to be a practical buyer because our country, the Philippines, is just poor. There are a lot of poor people in our country and I feel guilty whenever I buy expensive stuff in a mall then when I go out, I see poor kids, disabled people, as well as old people (who usually carry children) who beg for money just to eat at least once a day.

I hate social-climbing people who buy expensive things (even the imitations of the genuine stuff) then show them off. Can't they realize that there are a lot of poor people in our country? You buy expensive bullshit, try hard to impress people, yet I bet you don't even give donations to the poor. And if you did give donations, was it because you really want to or because it's required ( because of school or work)? Think about it.

Plus, being a social climber (or boastful person) has a lot of disadvantages. One of these is having haters, (seriously, you shouldn't think that all of your haters are your admirers in disguise or they hate you because they are insecure or whatever. Sometimes, you really have a bad attitude that's why they fucking hate you.) Another one is, being targeted by snatchers, or whoever might steal your expensive thang (sad for them if they only stole an imitation) and a lot more disadvantages.

So yeh, before you decide to brag or whatever, think about the poor people in our country, the disadvantages, and the point of bragging.
