People can be like that. A good friend of mine left me because of my theological shift. I told him I wanted to remain friends, but he claimed I was making an emotional argument. Then he started attacking me on my blog, at one point during which he said, "You're wasting my time!" I was like, "Dude, no one is making you come here."

There are many who have an idea in their minds of what life should be like, and if they encounter anyone who disagrees with that, they react harshly. It's definitely got a lot to do with pride I'm sure.

I'm sorry, I had to laugh at that part. Really? I find people who make comments like that who are actually way to emotional about it.

What is it with men and their pride!!!!!

right in the Philippines there was a teacher In the our ministry school. hes quite alot older that me and was always flirting! I knew he liked me but I wasn't interested as more than friends and he never pursued it. plus i was with someone else.

Anyways i'm here in england and single. he comes on my facebook and starts saying he loves me but didn't pursue it because 'Ate chris (ministry leader) would be upset with him'
So I told him nicely he wasn't interested. next day he comes on and spoke to me In there native language..I mistranslated some how and it go a little muddled. anyways he now things that i think that his feeling for me are a laughing matter and has run of to nurse his pride because the pretty white lady doesn't love him!

So he's refusing to speak to me no matter how hard I apologize...for whatever it is I supposedly did...which is actually just not have feeling for him!

I'm sorry fellas but if a gal doesn't like you say okay cool and be nice...there will be someone who does...just get over yourselves please

...for all those guys who don't need to hear this I apologize for the rant...

Doesn't sound like a good guy for you......sounds racist, too. Oh and I never get like that because I already assume I'm going to be rejected, so when she says yes I'm being blessed. So don't blame me for someone else's stupid crap.

I've totally had this before when girls turn evil because I said no to them (yes, I do reject people from time to time).....like they got a chip on their shoulder or something.


PS. I don't think anyone really fully understands Tagalog.

rasist? How so? yeah i was already aware he wasn't the right guy for me...hence the rejection!

I apologize sincerely on their behalf

Haha amen to that! Do you speak any? i can speak and understand a limited amout...SOoooooo complex!

 

[broken_one]

^Yeah racist.....why else would he be calling you white in that manner of speaking? It would be like if someone was collecting for charity and told a Jewish guy "I know you're not going to give me bloody anything, so have a nice day you twatbag." It's that kind of (not-so-)subliminal stuff right there.

Haha amen to that! Do you speak any? i can speak and understand a limited amout...SOoooooo complex!

One of my best friends of 15 years is from the Philippines.....I don't understand anything. Actually take that back, I know the food names.

Aha...i worded that badly, hes never called me the white lady! hat was just my reflection on the culture...many men there want to marry a white woman, they think she's got money plus For some reason the paler you are the more beautiful you are perceived to be. They themselves avoid sun rays as much as possible!
So basically what I was the guy was as far as I could tell only interested in my because too him i'm 'the pretty english lady' and i'm doubtful there was much substance in it. Thats not racism its culture....they are infact very respectful of other races ...


aha
lesson time...So you can impress him.
next time you see him just say...
1.'hello Kamusta ka?' which is 'hello how are you?'
2. Mabuti - i'm fine
3. Anong Balita - What's new

 

[broken_one]

Haha, gratz.

I love how "hello" doesn't translate.....it's the same thing lol.

 

[G.O.L.F]

yeah no they have no greeting! if you ask them what's 'hello' in Tagalog, many of them go...'Erm......Hindi ko alam po!' (Erm......I don't know!)
Its quite odd really! haha i love Filipinos

Someone stole all my sister's and my CD's form her car!!
This isn't the first time it has happened either.

This headache ive had since yesterday really needs to go away !!

That sucks. I don't know why people feel compelled to steal the most petty things out there. I've heard stories of people's cars being broken into and...pieces of paper stolen.

 

[Rhye]

I don't understand why people have the need to bash each other for reasons of not understanding or because they are struggling with inner peace. I don't bash people when I am struggling with something. It doesn't make sense.

I also like to say that some women need to seriously get over themselves and give compliments to other women. Its a great thing. Try it sometime.

So I have a friend who I get along fantastically with... we usually go in the same direction after small group on Monday nights and chat along the way. Tonight, she was uncharacteristically quiet, and left in a different direction.
I dropped her a text afterwards, asking if everything was OK since she was so quiet (she did talk to a couple of girls before we all parted ways, but I could barely get a word out of her). Couple hours later, my phone buzzes and I get: "Yes I'm fine."

What is up with that??? (Ladies, care to weigh in?)

That reminds me of that episode of Family Guy where Peter becomes very feminine.

Quagmire: [picking up the phone] "Hello?"
Peter: "Hey Quagmire."
Quagmire: "Hi Peter.......so, what's up?"
Peter: "Nothing. How're you feeling?"
Quagmire: "What do you mean how I feel?! You called me!"
Peter: "Just to talk...so whatcha doing?"
Quagmire: [hangs up the phone]

Oh, oh, she is not fine at all.

Did you happen to say anything? I know sometimes, without knowing we just say something that hurts someone's feelings.
Then again she might have been the same with the others. When I am restless, tired or just stressed out, I just cannot say a word to people. I try but I just need to not say anything for a while. So maybe it is that.

Why is it when my hair is randomly perfect I have no where to go and nothing to do and no one to see.
And when my hair is horribly horrible, I have to go out and see people and yeah.

lolll.

Notta. We were doing a service project, so we really didn't interact that much at all this evening.
I know she just got back from a wedding earlier today, so who knows?

 

[Wren]

I get that my siblings are night owls and extroverts. But must they be so freaking loud with their friends, so late into the night?! Some of us had to be up earlier this morning (I start volunteering at the museum today). Now I my eyes are so sore, my head is throbbing, and I'm cranky.

MINI-VENT:

When companies make you take additional assessments/requirements before your interview (or) even before you are allowed an job application. If you got an interview somehow you PASSED the overall online job application assessment system and just be interviewed. If you need to do some additional requirements just to get a employment application, seriously am I applying for the government or just a retail store.

When you are asked (online) when you are doing the application your Social Security Number and Full Birthday more than 5 times within 1-2 screens after you just gave that information...why must you continued to ask this. For example...Are you 16 years or older...yes...Are you 18 years or older...yes...Are you 21 years or older...yes...if your under 40...please tell us your full date of birth...seriously just ask me once...

Please allow at least 1-2 weeks to get your auto-rejection e-mail because completing an job application and it took you 45 minutes to do so and receive within 1-10 minutes your auto-rejection e-mail doesn't help move you forward...you just wanted an hour...but at least you know to cross that out to not do that company for a month or so...

END OF MINI-RANT
That being said I do understand why companies do what they do...to not risk turnover and to hire people that will stick around that will add to their team than make HR regret hiring that person to begin with. I'm grateful by the Lord Jesus that He is making ways for me to get more interviews and making me realized that my efforts are NOT in vain. I've been at this faithfully for awhile and I'm seeing certain things that just needs revising to BOTH help the Employers and the Future Employees to make the whole online job application system more user-friendly. Yes I also do know from personal experience (my mom is a Supervisor) that these companies get let's say 1,000+ apps (for one position) per week to sort that out to select 10-30 people to get interviewed (for that one position). I do understand why companies use personality assessment testing (Pass/Fail and Green/Yellow/Red Rates) to find someone to do this job right and well for the company and to weed out the people that doesn't fit that position.

So in the end...this is a rant...and a reflection
God Bless,
Drew

Reminds me of this other fellow I was listening to who was also good, but had the bad habit of overemphasizing the last syllable of almost every sentence.

"You have to understannnnnnnnnnd...that when God speaks here He is speakinnnnnnnnnnnnnnng..."

Haha. I remember visiting a church once where a teacher from my old high school attends. He was the deacon in charge of the prayer after the service and he did very strange things to his vowels.

"We praaaaaaaaaaaaaay for Mrs. M- oh Loooooooooooorrrd. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal her todaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Restore her streeeeeeeeeeength oh Looooooooorrrrrrd."

It was very, very weird. Especially since he never talked like that at all in class or in normal conversation.
