About Me

i could have attached my resume but that is the professional side of me.  i'd rather you get to know me by some of my *tweets that expressed my thoughts and feelings on that day i tweeted them, yet some seem to be applicable on a day to day as these were **retweeted.   i got feedback that certain tweets expressed what they can't or  it resonated in their specific moments.

let me start with my twitter bio which expresses in 140 characters my current life view . this bio also had positive feedback and was retweeted by several others.

"as we grow wiser, we loosen our grip of being perfect in every way, we realize it's more important to be human and happy rather than perfect and sad"

i am at that stage of the cliche "been there, done that" in both personal and professional levels and realized that  IRL [in real life] and my online existence 

  

~real people ~ aren't ~ perfect ~ perfect people ~ aren't real~ #justsaying #gogyohka

in twitter's global milieu one is exposed to and engages with different culture, nurture and nature. i've had actual exposure in my stints in foreign countries for postgraduate studies  or work related . we were briefed on the cultural nuances of countries we visit  and brush up on how to interact with varied personalities taking into consideration cultural differences yet my bad experience of  cyber bullies in twitterverse  is not quite in my alley so to speak.

the usual advise is to block a bully yet you still see them in your stream as they interact with your follows. some agreed with me that others may not even know or feign to know they are being rude especially if they were raised that way. expressing written expletives may just be ordinary for them without due regard on how this impacts the recipient of the written verbal abuse, this is termed as cyber bullying. but as they say we are all adults and must take things in stride . 

grandpa says charge it to experience if can't be done an eye for an eye or a falseteeth for a falseteeth . at times i'm tempted  to retort with my grandma's expletive and tweet back "usted hijo de p*ta". yet, i chose to not stoop to the low level of the bully believing in karmic retribution that what goes around comes around. besides i was raised not to sweat the small stuff because as we all know by now

  

~time is precious, waste it wisely~ #sixword [one of my most retweeted sixword post]

don't mope when others bully you, it shows their insecurities and obvious envy of something you may have that they don't. what is bad though is when you need to let go of a friend so as not to cause further rift. what is a friend? cyber and IRL is someone who stands by you when the going gets tough. but as you get to know people better, you realize that especially online ones, they're not who they project to be. most assume a persona other than their real selves, it is a platform to act out one's fantasies, the twitter stage is there where one can be Shakespeare one day, Lacan the next, a poet, a writer, a flirt, name it, you have it.

that is the second painful realization i had, in twitterverse as in politics loyalties are defined by current interests. ensure that you have real friends and treasure them. it is rare to find honest ones nowadays especially in cyberspace, you never know who is the real persona behind an avatar.

~sometimes ~ people in your life ~ are blessings ~ while others ~ are your life's lessons~ #gogyohka

separate the grain from the chaff and when you do find true friendship, they are your blessings, those who turn out to be weak or not who you expected them to be are your life's lessons, be more circumspect the next time around.  always remember that sooner or later we won't be here

~one day ~ we'll just ~ be a memory ~ endeavor ~ to be a good one~ #gogyohka #5lines  

for now i try not to cram my daily activities because 

~life is short savor every second~ #sixwords   and i shall pace myself to

~live ~ one ~ day ~ at a ~ time ~ #sixwords #gogyohka

i smile though my heart is aching

~i smile even when i'm sad~  #sixwords  because i know that a

~SMILE is your body's sexiest curve~ #sixwords
