There is no God?
I want to share this piece to you guys!, its one of my favorite articles and I read this back when I was in 3rd year high school, That time when I was most down and had questions that seemed to have no answers. This will surely give you a nice calm feeling after you finish reading it. It was published in Reader's Digest and I used to have that copy but I lost it in college so I searched all over for it at Google and luckily I found it again. I'm pretty sure you'll all love this wonderful piece. :)
There is no God
by Jim Bishop
There is no God.
All of the wonders around us are accidental.
No almighty hand made a thousand-billion stars. They made themselves.
No power keeps them on steady course.
The earth spins itself to keep the oceans from falling off toward the sun.
Infants teach themselves to cry when they are hungry or hurt.
A small flower invented itself so that we can extract digitalis for sick hearts.
The earth gave itself day and night, tilted itself so that we get seasons.
Without the magnetic poles man would be unable to navigate the trackless oceans of water and air, but they just grew there.
How about the sugar thermostat in the pancreas? It maintains a level of sugar in the blood sufficient for energy.
Without it, all of us would fall into a coma and die.
Why does snow sit on the mountain-tops waiting for the warm spring sun to melt it at just the right time for the young crops in farms below to drink? A very lovely accident.
The human heart will beat for 70 or 80 years without faltering. How does it get sufficient rest between beats?
A kidney will filter poison from the blood, and leave good things alone, How does it know one from the other?
Who gave the human tongue flexibility to form words, and a brain to understand them, but denied it to animals?
Who showed a womb how to take a fertilized egg and keep splitting a tiny ovum until, in time, a baby would have the proper number of fingers, eyes, and ears, and hair in the right places, and come into this world when it is strong enough to sustain life?

Friday, July 16, 2004Blogger Friends are the Best!
I wanna thank everyone for their comments and wise thoughts on my last post about the gay HR guy,(If you're wondrin' what I'm talkin about check out my previous post down there) I felt everyone's concern and that was really a good help for me. whew.. this is one of the reasons why its hard to leave the blogworld, once you're in its like there's no turning back because it just feels so great to be here, and that's because of you! Blogger Friends!Yes you!
I'm still contemplating on what to do next, I'm planning on writing a letter addressed to the Administrator or his/her superior, someone with the power to kick his ass off. Sabihin ko na lang din "They'd be better off with me as their HR manager"
Once again, Thank you guys!

He's back!
Lakers fans now have something to cheer about.
After trading Shaq to Miami, the biggest question was whether Kobe will stay or not with the Lakers, it surely was one crazy ride for the Lakers this off season. Yesterday I read some news that he may be playing for the Clippers, I got pretty upset because I really want Kobe to stay with the Lakers, After all, it's where he got his Superstar status, and they're doing everything to keep him.
This morning I saw Kobe on Solar Sports with a Lakers logo on the mic he was using and that was all the relief I needed. After all the days I spent searching Google for the latest news on where he will play, Now I can probably give Google some rest. I think I wore him out a little with all the searches I made.
And as for you Kobe, I hope everything falls into place. The trial in Colorado has yet to begin, I wish you well!

Monday, July 12, 2004Jobsearch 1001
About two weeks ago, I went to this call center in Ortigas, somewhere along Emerald Avenue, and I took a shot in applying for an HR position, The HR manager politely informed me that the position has already been filled and the only job he can offer me was a CSR position, and I said " I went to this other call center and the HR oficer who interviewed me told me that I can't be considered for an HR position because I lack experience aside from the fact that I'm not a Psychology graduate, and I've been thinking if I settle for another CSR position how am I gonna get the experience that I need?" He smiled and said "Once you get in ( meaning If I can qualify for CSR) , I'm gonna try to absorb you in the HR department, what do you think?" I said "Fair enough"
So I took their exam and passed, and they told us to report the next day for our final interview.
The day after, I received a message from him (The HR manager) which said:
"Hi u have
interview
tonight dont
forget it k! Do u
like to go out lets
have fun this is
- - - - hr tele----
My mom and I had a fight about going to that interview so I just weaved an alibi and asked for a reschedule to which he replied:
"Ok no problem
labas tayo ha
dito ka tulog sa
house k
What the f*ck?!?! I freaked out, Newsflash! This HR manager I'm talking about is a member of the male species. In short, he's a man in all its likelihood...
and he's gay! I should've known.
Anyway, I didn't send a reply anymore, but in some ways I even thought I over reacted, like maybe he was just bein' friendly so I just ignored his message and went on with my jobsearch.
I thought I'd never hear from him again until yesterday.
His message was:
"Hi we have 1slot
for recruitment
assistant like 2
aply text me wil
sched u 4
interview k _ _ _ _
tele- - - -
I got excited, now there's a slot for the position that I want so I immediately replied and asked for an interview this week, But when I got his reply, my excitement quickly turned into astonishment:
Ok sched u but
slip ka house ko
ha! Ok ba? Deal!
and he followed it with: " So are you game?"
I got really pissed off but I was hoping I could talk some sense on him, maybe there was still decency left in him so I told him that if we could just do things the right way like 2 professional people I'd be up for the interview, I told him to just look on my credentials and maybe he'll see that I'm fit for the job to which he replied:
"Ok pero kung
dito ka tulog eh
90 percent ikaw
kunin ko"
That was it, end of conversation.
Freaky, scary, gross. All in its superlative degree. That's how it felt.
Mr. HR manager, back in the interview, when I said that I'm dying for an HR post, it was a figure of speech dumbass! it means that I'll give my best and that I'll work my ass off, I didn't say I'll give my body for it and that you can work on my ass!
I'm desperate for a job all right, but that is not my idea of getting one.
The harsh realities of life are clearly coming to me now, Some people would unconscientiously take advantage over a person's misfortunes. I mean it's unfortunate enough that I'm a bum for 2 years, but to take a shot on my dignity is another thing.
This is so uncharacteristic of a professional, to think that he's a manager who's supposed to be a man of integrity, and who's supposed to look into people and seek for the same good traits.
So there goes my futile search for a job. I'd like to ask you fellow bloggers for your thoughts about this, I'm planning on doing some thing about this, I mean who knows if I'm the only one? I could use your comments on this...
There's one good thing about this though,
I just realized, "May dating pala ako" :)

Sunday, July 04, 2004Mid-life Crisis
At some point in our lives, there will come a time when you will think that everything isn't going right and you just can't figure out which road you will take or which choice you have to make, when in truth, you have absolutely none.
The toughest thing is, every decision counts, this is no time for experimenting for every mistake you make will dig you even bigger holes. You will begin to feel, "Hey I made a mistake in college, I shouldn't have taken this course, for I wouldn't be sitting here now writing about regrets if I took this or that" And the thing is, you cannot go back in time. The best thing to do is make the most out of what you got because after all it's the only thing you have.
This is what Im going through right now.
For almost 2 years now, I have been the worthless bum, Thanks to the one year I spent waiting for that job at Sandigan. I wasted a year for a job that was mine but got stolen by a justice's niece. I went through their series of test, interviews and was even called for training, spent a week training for that stupid job only to find out they couldn't give that position to me because some Justice has already promised a job for his niece.
No wonder the Justice system here sucks, They can't even make a fair recruitment process. And that really sucks because its supposed to be run by fair the fair and justiciable minds of our "honorable" justices.
And so I went back to applying to private companies, I went to Sykes ( a call center ) and they offered me a CSR position, and I said "Hell no!"
I'm lost.
I guess we all have low points and shares of crisis that we all go through and its up for us to pick up where we left off or start anew and then you'll be able to climb high and its all down hill from there.
Never thrive on your mistakes, Learn from it and that can be your guiding light.
Keep telling yourself that Jay. :)
[ and as for you people who are still on their way to college, One word of advice, if you are not sure that you're gonna go to Law School after college, Do not take AB Political Science.]
Did I hear you say No regrets?
