    I can’t help but raise my eyebrows at this fb friend from the same university na ngayon nagbebenta ng pyramid schemey food supplement products. Parang sayang yung science degree niya. And then I remember, ah, siya pala yung panay flex nung pera niya or something tapos wala daw ambag sa mga groupwork. My friend really hated this dude, I never really understood it.

    Malapit ko na 'to i-unfriend. I keep seeing supplements that’s probably not very effective tapos a wad of thousand peso bills beside it, you know those kinds of photos. For some reason I find it nauseating.

    Anyway. I had this dream where kinukulit ko daw yung instructor/lecturer sa class namin about a burning question about some topic. It was a very productive dream because my dream self was finally able to ask questions that were just swirling confusingly in my head, unable to organize it and speak it out.

    You know how you want to ask something but you don’t even know what to ask or how to start in the first place? That’s my problem. So I just kept going at it and finally something is clicking into place. Good job, dream self. That bothered us a lot.

      Sayang at medyo late ko na nalaman mga MLM or I would have been able to warn my coworkers/friends. Literally 95% of the entire office invested on another coworker who claimed that with his elite dev skills, he can accurately predict how stocks work and could double your profit. Naniwala naman sila kasi may return (that was revealed to be him just taking money from newer investors) so they kept pouring more money into it, reaching to their college savings, bank accounts, and other friends.

      Nalaman na lang nila something was awry nung wala na pera nabibigay sa kanila (no more new recruits in conjunction with the guy losing a huge chunk of money to vices) and he ultimately didn’t show up for work and went on the run.
