They say competition occurs naturally between organisms in the same environment. Where survival is only for the fittest or something like that. Where individuals aim to get what they deem or think they deserve. Where certain species live or die just to compete.

Competition is everywhere. Whether in sports, entertainment, or work, laging may kasamang competition. Hindi siguro natin maiiwasan ang magkaroon ng ganyan. Lalo na kung ang isa ay hayok sa ganyang scenario. Where that individual acts that there’s no tomorrow and everything he [or she] does must be on his [or her] advantage. Dahil siguro parang mamatay na siya kung lilipas ang isang araw na hindi niya maramdaman sa sarili niya na nangunguna siya sa lahat ng bagay.

Is competition good or bad?

I often hear change is good. That change makes the world move forward. That in life, change makes you into two different being. Either you become good or the opposite of it. Either you become something or you become nothing at all.

We can never hinder change. And most definitely we cannot prevent it. We live in this world where change is constant. Where change makes change.

A philosopher once said, “There’s no man in an island”. However, isn’t it that sometimes it is hard to deal with other people? Hindi ba’t ang hirap makisama sa madaming tao na may iba’t ibang ugali at iba’t ibang nararamdaman? I’m sure there’s someone that you find easy to be with but there are others that you find irritating or you don’t want any connections to be established. May magugustuhan ka pero mayroon din namang hinde.

There are a lot of things that you should consider. Their attitude, their opinion, their perception towards things and of course their “skin”.

Yes, skin. Balat. I think there are different kinds of skin and sometimes it does come in different forms. May magaspang o kaya naman may punong puno ng puzzle. Kung minsan may makinis. Na sa sobrang kinis kahit lamok madudulas. Pero meron din namang makapal. ‘Yun bang sa ubod ng kapal kahit sandamukal na karayom hindi bumabaon (baka nga kahit pako ayaw pa rin eh). Na kahit na anong sabihin mo walang epekto. Kahit siguro sunugin mo hindi niya mararamdaman.

It’s been a boring day today. It was so silent you can hear yourself breathing. Where the only loud things you can hear are the airconditioner’s roar and the non-stop clicks of the keyboard’s keys.

I’ve never been this silent before. Except during the days where I feel so sleepy even a gallon of coffee couldn’t help keep my eyes open.

There will be a time in your life that you will encounter two paths. Each leads you to something. Each leads you sometimes to nothing. But whatever the end of these paths, you need to choose one. I faced this a few days ago. I have to choose between the two. Which one to take. Which one not to.

To get the big picture to what I will be saying, let’s say the first path is AA. The second is BB. The thing is, you cannot get both. You really need to choose one. There will definitely be something that you need to sacrifice if you choose AA over BB and vice versa.

We never saw this sign when we arrived here at TI SpringCreek until Gary Wheeler told us about the sign. Sometimes, there’s this good feeling when you see your name posted.

Yup! I am going back to Texas!

The company will be sending me back to Texas for some work stuff. Am not that excited like I was before. I don’t know why. Probably because I am going there not in a per diem travel? Or probably because I’ve been there and nothing will be new? Or probably I will again miss our wedding anniversary?

In any case, this is something I can’t say ‘No’ to. Look at the bright side. At least I can travel again. And I can see all the hot women at Narita Airport.

No worries. I will be blogging everything.
