i am celebrating my successful feat over a research project weighing as heavy as myself. it was 6,600 words of academic research/assignment (medical journal sites such as pubmed and medline have been my constant internet trawls of late) that i thought i will never ever make the deadline. . but i did. and the funny thing was, it was a self imposed deadline two days before the real deadline because i wanted to have two days to myself (to just space out in the world, and feel slack).
so far, im enjoying it.

there are simply petty things thats been bugging me lately, and maybe because i am hormonal, or maybe because i have too much time on my hands that i am becoming petty.
case number 1: online sellers who i don't know keeps inviting me to be their "friend" in multiply. i have a few real friends that does online selling too, [which i like and believe in their products] and i'm friends with them, because i'm "friends" with them. but these invites are from total strangers.
i cant believe, that everyday i have an invite who i keep ignoring, yet keeps popping up. i dont mind them inviting me, but they havent seen my face pop up in their site, so im not really interested. and whether or not, will buy their products, if i was their friend, i will accept them. but not that way.
case number 2: a few online sellers are posting things like "selling Hermes bags with slight factory defect" at affordable prices. What the! Anyone who believes them are total mugs. there is no such thing as factory defect Hermes, as Hermes bags are all handcrafted in Italy..i wonder what these sellers are thinking, they dont even know about the product theyre trying to copy..if they researched, Hermes doesnt have a chinese factory, thats why have maintained they reputation and their enormous prices...they should just sell them and market it as "Hermes knock-offs"..maybe, some die hard knock-off buyer will buyit..not.
case 3: online sellers who keep tagging friends, or myself at FB...i keep seeing friends being tagged, and it irritates me. I know people have to make money for a living, i respect that, but im sure these friends of mine would want their profiles advertisement free (especially from knock-off Hermes bags,LOL). tagging is irritating at its best anyhow, esp if you dont know what photos of you they posted. can you imagine being tagged with buying these things that are not worth your time, or knock-off watches. if my friends wanted to buy them, im sure they would keep it to themselves and not the whole facebook community know about it.
but i love it when friends get tagged for albums im not supposed to see anyway as im not friends with their friends..i get to see them in "action", if you know what i mean. LOL.
i also loved tags of myself for invites to christenings, weddings, and good natured gatherings..these are beautiful reasons to be tagged for.
case 4: librarians who keep ringing me at home for books which are due a week from when they call. really.
her reason, to give me time to arrange return of books.
gosh, how will i forget to return big academic/medical books that sits on my dining table. repulsive things.
i cant wait to get rid of them. really.
case 5: people who book you for things and do not turn up.(or in my case, call on the day that its not happening due to some minor problem).
thank you for deposits. thank you for deposits.
case 6: people who change their wedding schedules (numerous times). sadly i am a multiple-roled-individual, and i cannot be hanging around the elusive date as it affects my 'other' dates too.
first, the venue they wanted is booked. fine. the second,the grandmother has a knee op that date cant attend the wedding. third, the change of date for grandma, caused problems with venue. toinks.
3x is enough already . after this, no more.
i'm only in this for fun.
if its not fun, 'not doing it.
thats that.

we have an overflowing garden of strawberries.

and thats that.

you are not hormonal, chel. these things really are annoying. some people just don't think, no?
i hate (yes, the word is hate) when i get invites or tagged for all those silly knock-offs, too!
and clients (and other people included) who keep changing their minds, skeds, or those who call on the day itself as if we are not doing anything -- ugh, makalagot!
like you, if it's not fun, me not doing it, too! :D
hahahaha, im glad im not the only one..
everytime i open my multiply (which has been daily now), i could see online sellers trying to befriend me.. and worse thing too, when i see my friends FB, puro tagged with online sellers, mga knock off bags and watches, etc pa gyud..im sure they hate it, i wish theyd untag themselves, para makasabot ang seller.haha.
amen to that..photography is for fun..i would want it to be a lucrative business (who doesnt, more lenses to buy,haha) but its for fun first and foremost..=)
thanks ai=)

hahaha, hi chi, nakatawa ko sa imong "naa man gyud mu give up namo ani bah" hahaha...i hope they can take the hint that youre not buying from them..makalagot man gud mangtag sila, mao ra gyud akong makit-an sa ubang profiles...and you know what, filipinos ra baya na facebookers ang naay tags, coz none of my freinds from here dont tag anyone for selling purposes..
lagi, undang nakog sapot ani, lain raba ko masuko, mudako samot akong kaon,haha..hugs chi=)
i get invites from online sellers too and i have ignored them since. as to those being tagged, wa pa ko naapil ana. pero its quite annoying to see photo updates of your friends and nya diay to albums of merchandise ra from other contacts.
hi che=) mao gyud na, makailad ang photos of stuff, thinking na photos of your friends,then it turns out it mga baligya diay to..its annoying too esp if you know these friends wouldnt buy these type of things,haha.
