Who is Miss Glitchee?

WHO IS MISS GLITCHEE™?
I am who I am, I am in the act of creating myself, and I can only do that in the space of who I am not--
and so I have carefully created who I am not in order to experience who I actually am.^^

FAREWELL TO THE YEAR THAT WAS ☻




This year, I have been through so much.
I almost hit rock bottom, or so I thought that time.
I have  been through so much pain, but I managed to rise from it all.
Not because I am strong.
Not because I am invincible.
I am weak, and that, I had issues admitting during the hardest days of this year.
But  I was able to overcome through everything because of the people who never ceased sharing their strength with me.
They have wrapped me with so much love that I soared from all the challenges of 2013.
To all of you, thank you so very much.
Because of you, my supposed to be worst year ever bounced back to be one of the bests.
And to the ONE who has never stopped showering me and my loved ones with too much blessings,
I owe you everything, thank you.
Indeed your love is everywhere and in everyone. ♥♥♥

MERALCO-- MGA KWENTONG HIKES ATBP.


December nanaman, panahon na ng mga Christmas bonuses, 
pero imbes ma-enjoy ni ordinary Juan ang kaniyang 13th month pay,
mas problemado siya sa P4.15 per kilowatt hour power rate hike ng Meralco.
Kulang kulang Php 500 - 1000 (o higit pa) na dagdag gastos yan kada buwan sa isang ordinaryong pamilyang Pinoy.
Pero wag mag-alala, in tranches naman daw yan eh, para di tayo mabigla, slowly but surely para walang aray ika nga.
Mararamdaman lang natin ang buong dagdag singil pagdating ng March, in time sa summer,
kung kailan pinakamataas ang konsumo ng kuryente natin.
Perfect timing!

Wala tayong choice, aprubado na yan ng ERC (Energy Regulatory Commission).
Dahil daw yan sa mga system loss at kung anu-anong loss ng bigtime kompanya.
Na pag-aari ng mga multimillionaires, top ranking earners ng bansa,
na biktima lang rin daw ng palpak sa Malampaya.
Magkano ba ang net worth nila? 
Nga naman, kabawasan yan sa 9-digits nilang pera kung nagkataon.

Habang andyan sina Manong Driver, na dahil sa sunod sunod na ring  oil price hike, pagtaas ng presyo ng mga spare parts, tuition fee ng mga anak, sabon na panlaba ni misis, etsetera etsetera,
ay humihingi rin ng additional P2.00 para sa minimum fare ng jeepney.
Magkano kaya ang madadagdag ng P2.00 sa kita nila? P500 kada araw?
Yun ay kung walang hapit na kotong cop sa kantong dadaanan nila.

Di ko alam kung kulang lang ako sa panonood ng balita, pero tingin ko higit ang ingay at pagtutol, di lang ng gobyerno, kundi maging ng masa sa P2.00 minimum jeepney fare hike na ito kesa sa daan daang taas din ng singil sa kuryente.
Mas duwag nga ba tayong labanan at kontrahin ang Meralco,
mas madali nga namang magreklamo laban sa ordinaryong mga tao.
Madaming kesyo kesyo, di pa raw napapanahon ang fare hike,
di pa raw sapat ang oil price hike para magreklamo (dahil taas baba naman daw ito),
kaya pa naman daw mabuhay sa halagang P8.00 pasahe sa jeepney mo.

Oo, domino effect ang mangyayari sa presyo ng ibang bilihin sa pagtaas ng minimum fare,
kaya nga higit na dapat pang pag-ukulan ng pansin ang pagpapababa ng presyo ng diesel para sana maiwasan na ang paghingi ng dagdag pasahe.
Dahil sa totoo lang, mas malaking "loss" ang kailangang bunuin ng mga mamang tsuper para disenteng mabuhay.
Disente lang, hindi para magkamal ng yaman.

Hindi ako komunista, ni hindi ako naging aktibista, pero hindi ba sa ganitong mga sitwasyon mapapaisip ka?
Gatasan na lang ba tayo ng mga Forbes listers?
(Aside sa money machine tayo ng mga corrupt na politiko.)
Kung iisipin, sino nga ba ang higit na nakikinabang sa laman ng payslip mo?

Ewan ko, pero kung tutuusin, mas masarap sa bulsa kong magbigay ng dalawang pisong dagdag bayad kay manong driver kada sakay ko ng jeep nya.
Wala pa yang hidden and addtional charges, walang interes pag nadelay ang pagbayad mo.
Pwede pa nga yang pakiusapan pag kulang ang barya mo o pag naiwan ang wallet mo.
Pwede ring sumabit pag kulang ang baon mo.
Pwede pang kandong pag nagtitipid ang nanay mo.
Kaya di ko lubos maisip bakit mas apektado pa tayo sa baryang hiling na to.

May nabasa ako dati, something about big government, small people.
Sabi sa pilosopiyang yun, pattern nga daw na mas naseset-aside ng gobyerno ang concerns ng maliliit na tao.
Mas pumapabor sila sa mas malalakas na kompanya (with or without direct intention).
Sa dami ng sinabi ni BS Aquino kailan lang, isang bagay ang tama at tanda ko, na hindi dapat umasa ang tao sa gobyerno.
Tama nga naman si Mr.President.
Lalo kung palpak na ito.

Sa ngayon,
"Bahala kayo sa buhay nyo!"

LOVE LETTER OF AN UNBREAKABLE HEART


The more you love a person, the greater is the risk of getting hurt.
For we are most sensitive to the people we love.
It is like every detail counts.
Every small gesture would make us smile.
Every joke would make us giggle.
Every small disappointment would pain us.
Every minute apart would make us miss them.
Ever time together would leave that little spark of joy in our hearts.

When you open yourself to someone, when you make yourself vulnerable to him,
that is only when I guess that you fully let him love you,
and you fully love him in return.
That risk, that fall, that is the best part of loving.
Not all risks may end up in favor of you though,
but it will all be worth it in the end.
It is not just being able to say that you truly loved,
nor that you have given your best, that you gave it what you can.
It is not just making the other person feel cherished and happy.
It is the magic of finding that part of yourself that is capable of doing so,
discovering that you have it in you.
You may surprise yourself even on how much you could really give,
or to what extent you would be willing to go to and how brave you can actually be.

It is but a pity how some people pass on that opportunity to share themselves to someone whom they love and loves them.
It is like it is there, yet then they were too scared to take it.
Yes, it is true that we should be careful, we should be wise,
but whether it fails or not, what difference does it make if you had not taken that leap of faith.
If you had not trusted your heart in what it is supposed to do,
if you had not allowed yourself to that magic,
if you kept on fighting it, instead of fighting for it,
would it not even hurt more?

We all love, we all will , we all must.
And one time or another, we will all face pain.
And yes, your heart may seem broken for awhile, 
but the beauty of it is that your heart will always learn how to cope up,
it will re-learn to be okay, for it is in fact unbreakable.
And in the end, it is how much you loved that will matter more,
it is how happy you've been.
The pain, the hurt when it fails, through time, it will go away.
But that strength, that wisdom and that self-discovery you've gained will always stay with you.
It is a win-win scenario all the time.
So yeah, risk up, take that chance, do yourself a favor, stop being scared and just love. <3

STARFISH IN MY CHEST



I have a starfish in my chest. 

Beyond being brainless dumb like Patrick,
(yes, they literally don't have brains)
and having such a distinctive shape, sea stars are famous for their ability to regenerate. 
Awesome right?
They can grow their damaged parts back and they can even shed limbs as a means of defense.
Just like the one in my chest.

She's been shattered quite a lot. 
From time to time, she has lost pieces of herself--
partly coz she's a dork, she's brainless anyway. 
She kinda finds it difficult to be trained often times, she hardly ever learns. 
So yeah, she hurts herself every now and then, shedding fragments of her.
At times too painful even, like a huge slab of her was gone, that she thinks she couldn't bear it through.

Happens mostly after letting someone in, after sharing herself, after giving a part of her to them-- and then being left behind.
They walk away with a part of her, leaving her altered, diminished. 
It's not a smooth task to grow back, it takes times, takes prowess, yet just like the star that she is, she always regenerates. 
And not only that-- she always shines. <3
