This day, in news items

Meanwhile, my APAC boss said HQ is working out an arrangement that I don’t have to be in Singapore to take on my new role next year. Hopefully, it would push through. If they can’t give me the salary I want (it should be above SGD 14k because that’s the minimum with primary school children) and not just the minimum requirement that the Singapore government demands, then it’s a no-go.

If only sending kids to school there is not that expensive. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Why the trauma?

Because when you loved someone so much, more than anybody in your life like that, and you get that kind of treatment, it’s traumatizing.

Yes, I’ve never loved anyone like that in my life. In the past I’ve had the courage to walk away. Not this time.

I don’t think I’ll ever love like that again. I no longer have any love to give.

So I just pray that the next person will love him more than I did because he rejected mine since it was not enough.

And as for me, I pray that I will get my peace. That’s all I ask for. Peace.

Political hoopla

I’m super tired today, I don’t know why. Anyway, Twitter is all abuzz about politics today.

My favorite news:

The new generation standing up to the Marcoses. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏I love this so much.

And big media is fighting back.

It says: it has formally been announced that the former senator, son of a dictator and a 2016 vice presidential loser, his intention to run for the highest office in the land.

But then, you have curve balls like this:

I cannot fathom Kris Aquino running for VP. Leni should know this is political suicide. Having another Aquino is polarizing and that’s the last thing you want when you want to unite everybody vs Marcos/Duterte.

But I’m hoping this is the truth.

I ordered two for my girls because the built-in mics of their Tylex bluetooth headsets are wonky. So are the mics of their cameras. They just don’t pair well with Linux. Anyway, these mics are working very well and their voices are now loud and clear enough for online classes. I bought these from Lazada a few days ago and the description says it’s good for vlogging/podcasting.

I’m thinking of getting one myself but maybe I’ll get the Maono brand or Fifine, which are vlogging/podcast condenser mics since I will go on air next month for my Youtube series with my high school friends. But so far my webcam is serving me well and its mic is loud enough.
