Enough of that!

Okay, so I am once again your resident jerk. To those whom I consistently blog, my sincerest apologies. It's just that you make me life so colorful and meaningful. And that's you, anonymous!

But enough of that. It's time to refocus my energy on the lighter side of life. From now on, no more writing about sentiments, about friends, about my life in general. Except, of course, in cases where there is a dire need to write about me.

Beginning today, I'll be writing about life's comedy of errors.

I was with a friend yesterday and she told us a story about her household help.

"I was going to a wedding sometime ago and I asked my maid to call a local hair salon for me -- Jun Encarnacion. I told her, 'Could you call up Jun Encarnacion for me. The number is listed in the directory,'" she recounted.

"She came back and told me she couldn't find it! I asked for the directory and asked her where she looked."

"'Isn't it under N for Encarnacion?'" the maid quipped.

My friend almost threw the directory at her in surprise and amusement. At least she made an effort. A for effort (read: ay-fort)?

Hay nako...eh kung di ka maglalabas ng sama ng loob, baka naman mag-amok ka tulad ng pulis dun sa Kalibo.

People blog--or do any other task--for a reason. If you blog for catharsis, perhaps this resolution of yours might not be in the beneficial in the long term (hazard ratio=1.7, p=0.001). But then again, if this anonymous irks you, which may lead to a ruptured aneurysm, then this may be a good decision after all. (I'm posting this comment partly to console and partly because I am procrastinating work. Hopefully, I achieve at least one of these goals.)
