internet writing

using the internet outside the home is a great burden. Many always have their radios blaring or their cps tuned in to the music spot. i always have to ask the counter person to tone it down. next, users almost always have friends around them when they play computer games. well u see Filipinos are happiest when with their friends and or relatives. you can imagine the raucous talking that occurs. Then, maintenance of the keyboards is not being properly followed. This one for example, the cursor runs a few inches away now and then. Another time, the tab enter kept getting depressed so that I could not encode anything. The worst is of course when I can't even open my email. Today, my email was shut down. Then I searched for my blog. Luckily I got through that one. now i am able to write my blog. but sorry, the typographical errors are aplenty. I have no more time to check.

Oh, the worst of the worst was this internet cafe by Aurora Boulevard, the Gameline internet. As i was writing my email, the owner shut it down because he said my time was up, without any reminder at all. so i complained and said that internet business is not only "kabig" or getting money, he got so mad. now our battle is up at the barangay for his rudeness.

Hay Folks, life in the Philippines is full of trials and travails. So long.

Wait and see

I am not located in a hospitable environment right now. Machismo is falling all over the place and I am feeling so creepy that after all these years, I would still find fellows who think that the world revolves around them and that everyone will bow down to them.

One guy I know had a terrible relationship with a woman whom he ordered around to be his caregiver while he was having problems of making his gf stay with him in the house. When the girl did, he made the woman their maid. Imagine, aftrer being a caregiver, she became a servant, literally to the couple. I am glad that she has moved out of the house to get her bearings again.

I don't have to tell you about the other guy. But there are also hidden guys trying to manipulate my life, peering into everything I do so that my personal life has been so affected that I refuse to look at anyone. Surprisingly, the guys I find most likeable have effeminate qualities but are not gay. The balance of yin and yang in their personhood is very engaging. So while talking to them, I find myself not feeling intimidated, and that I could easily reveal what I feel to them.

In the midst of all the convoluted political situation we are in, I take note of every opposite sex I meet to find out how they are reacting. Some meet them head on. Others avoid the situation, clam up, and let others do the talking. But later on, some of them do stand up.

Wait and see. Wait and see is the best policy.
