When internal turmoil rise to the surface, there’s no telling when it’s going to burst and spill.

People can be like the water, serene on the surface, yet with strong undercurrents. And you don’t really want to mess up with someone who had tried to keep their cool and composure while all of yous spout nonsense.

So while it is still calm, rectify the situation and apologise. Else, yous will find yourselves in a sticky situation that yous won’t defo like.

Security Challenges you are already facing now — security complexity, data sprawl and high TCO.

A lot of attacks now on security use generative AI. It is a fact.

The Great Hall in Stirling Castle had taken me to the time when Scottish Royalty had sat here and attended balls and soirées.

Also, the table reminded me that whatever life throws at you, being transparent, considerate, steadfast and honest will get you further. Also, knowing your worth on and knowing exactly what you bring to the table even if no one had asked you for, brings a formidable character worth noting.

I am, by far, not perfect. And never will be. But I will always stand my ground and be humble enough to plant my feet in the ground and bloom where I am planted. I am still calm, and I will always be.

Proving a point doesn’t have to be on raised voices, but rather, clear cut and bang on. Conversations had to be deep and thought provoking, rather than speaking shallow phrases and kicking off unnecessarily when opinions collide. That only proves most of you are not using your intellect and education.

Bottomline, if you can’t handle my tone of voice and the manner I speak and my ideas and points of view, then f**k off! IDC and IDGAF.

I am tired, no doubt. I haven’t been able to unpack my feelings and emotions for a very tumultuous and turmoil filled few months. I am not in the best shape, far from what I was in the last decade. I am still making the decisions I know that is right for me and for my well-being and no one could dispute that.

I am setting boundaries on friendships and relationships that will never serve the purpose. I know what I am worth even if I am not sitting on the table you are in. I know what I can also bring to the table.

I am resilient and I am able to carve my own path to follow my destiny. No one tells me what I can or can’t do. I am not stubborn, but I know how to ask the hard and difficult life questions you can reflect. Whatever energy you give me, I will give it back to you a hundred fold.

If you were an arse, I will be 100x more. If you are being difficult, I’ll be your nightmare. If you will be kind and generous, I will bring you good fortune and good positive energy more than what you need.

I can be a light to everyone, specially people who had been good to me, even when I am not around. I keep my friends close and my enemies closer. I will be the bestest best pal you all could have, and I will move heaven and earth to make things easier for all of you.

But the moment you all start to be inconsiderate and become an ar****le, oh well. You get what you deserve. IDC and IDGAF on whatever you are and who ever you are.

Do not ever try. Stay on your lane. I had already warned you all so many times. Yet you all are still being an ar****le.

Let’s see how you all get on. Do not ever try to push me to my limits.

As you set out to fight your own chosen battles day to day, you always encounter gems hidden among the bed of rocks. It may be unusual, perhaps, plain and ordinary for the non discerning eye.

It's really up to you how you will be able to recognise the gems disguised on either opportunity or chance at .

Courage, where art thou?

30/01/2024

Will you sit with me, please?


A question that no one dared to ask me but you did. That left a mark on my reverie. It then whisked me back to the time when I felt that my usual control freak self was out of orbit, out of focus. Yes, that was the effect you had on me. Scary, yet took me to depths of self questioning I didn't imagined would happen. I started to fear of losing my self restraint and act carefree, but, evenso, I still followed my heart.


Will you be there to help me rectify it? Or would you then be the cause of my downfall?

02/11/2023

Doors.

When I am faced by challenges and uncertainty, doors remind me that there will always be a way out. It is essential to know how take control of your life as much as you wanted to take control of your destiny.

Like a door, you have the power to let positive vibes come in and keep negativity out. You also have the capacity to keep nosy individuals permanently out of your life.

FLYING SAFELY WITH PAL

PAL continues to implement Fly Safe practices to protect our passengers, in compliance with international health and safety protocols.

Masks are no longer required on flights to and from the Philippines, in compliance with Philippine Government Proclamation No. 297 of July 2023 that lifted the state of the COVID-19 health emergency, including the mask mandate and other COVID-19 protocols. Our passengers have the flexibility of choice to wear masks or not.

Passengers may still bring their own face masks to use when they travel, if they prefer.

For flights operated by Philippine Airlines’ codeshare partners, please check with our partner airlines about their respective mask policies.

All PAL aircraft are equipped with high-technology systems that continuously infuse fresh air across the cabin as well as HEPA filters that trap viruses, bacteria and other contaminants with 99.99% efficiency. The air flow system creates a cleaner environment that is safer than most enclosed public spaces and comparable to hospital operating rooms.
