MOTHERFUCKERS!!

Today and yesterday, I lost a lot of money, around quarter of a million. I never thought that I could earn so much and yet lose money easily. The first time was yesterday, I lost P230,000 in income when one of the accounts I have been handling didn’t pay me accordingly. I have worked hard as Converse PR and I am surprised that some people, especially Chinese businessmen, could really live up to their existing preconceived image, that of stingy, cunning and shrewd people. The company owes me P380,000 in total payment, and yet, despite with all the things I have done for them, they just wanted to put one on me (in local parlance, “kung makakaisa, mang-iisa”). I never imagined that people could be so rude, so unethical, so bad, especially the managing director, her executive assistant, and the HR director. The 3 ganged up on me and twisted my arm to sign a claim waiver form in exchange for a check payment worth P150,000, short of P230,000 since they owe me P380,000. The nerves, and I just told them that I will just charge it to experience. Also, I believe that the world is round and there is such a thing called Karma. The 2nd time which is today, I lost P30,000 when I decided to encash my share in the PR company which I co-founded. Again, the people involved are Chinese, and they shortchanged me despite the hard work I have invested for our accounts. Well, I guess that will be a valuable lesson not to let other people take advantage of me. 2007 is around the corner, and a year beckons for fresh start. Money is easy to earn, as long as one is honest, fair and hardworking. Lastly, there is such a thing called “blind faith”. My faith has blinded me so much, and I always believe that the Lord will give everything back tenfold. Remember Job who lost everything since his faith was being tested by the devil. I believe that the Lord wants me to trust Him with all my heart and be His instrument in telling that everything is possible, if we just ask Him for help. “Be Not Afraid”, that was the Gabriel The Archangel’s greeting to Mary when she was told about her impending pregnancy and a recurring phrase in the Bible, which is my favorite line. I will never be afraid knowing that the Lord will take care of me and my temporal needs. And for those people who did me wrong, I will try to practice forgiveness, which is the hardest thing to do as human. If Jesus was able to forgive those who put him up in the cross, and the Lord’s Prayer clearly state that we forgive those who sinned against us so that we may be forgiven as well, then, everything will be alright. The world could be unfair at times, yet one has to learn the gift of acceptance. There is justice, I believe, and even if I would not be able to get it in the acceptable laws of the land, the Lord knows best how to dispense it for me. Thus, I will always be thankful for everything the Lord has in store for me, because He knows best. For the record, FUCK ALL OF YOU WHO SCREWED ME!!!!
