Notes from the Snark Side

The (mis)Adventures of a girl who doesn't quite fit in anywhere and her struggles to stay healthy, sane, smart and snarky.

Growing up...

Younger Me: Sees someone being stupid/wrong/inefficient/about to hurt themselves/unaware of an oncoming trainwreck. Tries to help/correct. Person is mad. I am too strict or dami kong alam. Epal. Several years later and several burns later. Older Me: Sees someone being stupid/wrong/inefficient/about to hurt themselves/unaware of an oncoming trainwreck. Will the consequences of their actions affect me? No. Eh. Whatever. Yes? Fix it regardless of how they feel about it. Come up with contingency measures if they decide to be petty about it in ways that will affect life goals - otherwise - ignore.

Friends

I hold my friends to the same standards I hold myself to. Then as circumstances and situations unfold -I adjust said bar lower or keep it steady. Why not higher, you may ask? Well it would be hypocritcal of me to expect more from them when even I can't deliver. Not that it doesn't happen. When they demonstrate that they can clear the bar easily -I raise the bar and then do my darnedest to meet it myself.

Story of my life so far....

There are so many plot twists in my life and most of the time, I lack the clearance level to figure out what is happening.

The INC drama

Congratulations on: - Costing Public Utility Vehicle drivers their livelihood. - For earning the ire of majority of the working class who only wanted to get home to their loved ones after work and/or get to work on time. - For costing businesses lost profits when you block people from accessing them. - For revealing your ignorance on the meaning of Separation of Church and State and the Bible (Read the Constition and the verses AFTER that 1 Corinthians passage you people are fond of quoting & include that passage in Romans where Paul says there is a reason rulers wield swords. Please do not quote the Star Fleet manual. That is the brainchild of Gene Roddenbery on an era where your religion does not exist.) - For revealing to the rest of us which politicians we will be NOT VOTING FOR. - For stealing our long weekend and disrupting the lives of so many people. - For demonstrating your selfishness and hypocrisy. If you really want Separation of Church and State -then join us on the RH Bill and LGBT cause. But we all know you won't. - For displaying double standards. Look -you're all free to join a protest rally because freedom of expression yo! That also means we're free to mock your logical fallacies and we love the fact that your defenders just keep supplying the rest of us ammo for that. - For revealing to the rest of the country what a few of us already know about how hypocritical and ball-less our goverment is. A round of applause.

On the topic of being an Achiever and how I should chill to get along with low performers

When I hear people brag about their low grades or are happy getting a grade of 80% above or even jaw drop amazement at getting a grade of 90%-95% – I remember some of my gradeschool classmates -including me - bursting into tears because we got a grade below 90% in our tests.

And to my former teachers in Capitol University - I was not disrespecting you by taking off my medals when I get back to my seat after receiving them on stage. The ribbons are hot around my neck. 2 is fine -but 3 or more? I don’t feel like cosplaying as a human Christmas tree while sitting under the sun. It was not a big deal in HS where my classmates collected medals and ribbons like they were pokemons or Magic the Gathering cards and I don’t see it as a big deal now either. We take it off before it chokes us.

To everyone else, I was raised in a household that prides itself of excellence and went to a gradeschool and highschool that encourages excellence in both the academe and sports - so much so that what passes as above average for the rest is normal for us.

When I graduated from that school -I was #17 on the top 20. So if you’re thinking I’m intense already or that you’re intimidated and annoyed with me- wait till you meet the Top 16.

This isn’t counting the batches ahead of our batch -the guys and girls we fangirled over and emulated cause we think they were awesome.

You know what’s even more amazing? We’re still insecure. We know we stand on the shoulders of giants. We know we still have a long way to go. We know we aren’t all Gates or Jobs or Musk or Zuckerberg or Buffet -but gosh darn it we try and do our best in our tasks.

So if you want to stay mediocre -fine -your call. You’re probably awesome to laugh with at the type of gatherings you go to.

But don’t drag people down your pathetic level so you can stop feeling awful about the kind of human being you are.

Why I ignore you....

Emotional pleas and reasoning rarely sway me. It is very rarely right. It mostly has no basis on reality and consequences. It is usually self-serving and mostly protecting the ego of the one doing the reasoning. I rarely if ever engage in it as this depends on the crowd I am addressing but if you are to engage me using emotions and not rationality and facts - then I will dismiss your opinion. Try again when you have gathered your thoughts. Facts. Reality. Science. These things care not if our feelings are hurt. The sooner we accept these -the sooner we can move on and deal with the issues.

No one would describe me gentle - but run. Run far away and don’t cross my path when you see me calm and steady when by all intents and purposes I should be raging. I will shred you. I will cut you down. I’ve survive things you can’t even imagine. You are nothing. I forgive but I don’t forget. And you won’t see me coming for you.

Right…Because it’s far better to pretend to get along with someone than it is to actually understand each other.

#nothanks #thisiswhymisunderstandinghappens #thisishowresentmentisborn

If your relationship can’t have an open & truthful discussion or can’t survive facts -maybe you should rethink your relationship.

It’s the ones who eat up this line that have the fragilest of egos. After all, they’re willing to lie to your face about what they believe, all while convincing themselves THEY are the ones who are REALLY correct.

That way no one actually has to, oh my gosh, admit they are wrong and go through the effort of actually maybe ALTERING their world view a little. I shudder to think what the world would be like if people actually had to stop being wrong once in a while.

A REAL apology is meant to express earnest regret over offence, damage, or difficulty caused to the recipient, and the intention to amend actions to prevent future occurrences

People who actually believe this line don’t have relationships, they have resources.

Relationships are based on communication and trust, whereas resources are simply managed.

So think about that folks before you pass around quotations like this that only contribute to many failed relationships.

Danger

Fear me not when I Rage. My words will be cutting and brutally true But I say it because I expect so much more from you.

Look down on me not when tears fall from eyes. Know this means that this is your last chance to redeem yourself in my eyes.

Run. Run away when I smile. Hide. For when my countenance is calm, it means I am done.

Cross me again -and it will be your end.

[helloangelacumen]

Spot on.

Also, after burying both my parents -every other drama is so meh now. So excuse me for not being sympathetic to your bullshit drama or problems caused by your own lack of foresight and stupidity.

I couldn’t care less about your ego nor the new car you bought because while it isn’t bad to live with your parents -you pretending you’re rich is stupid. You’re not rich. Your parents are. Brag again that you’ve made it when you have no safety net to fall back on when your stupid decisions back fire on you.

[kushandwizdom]

Very few times I ask for help, or a shoulder to lean on or simply someone to listen and I rarely get it and it’s fine. It’s something I’ve become used to. I give a lot of time and energy to others and it’s rarely reciprocated. Maybe it’s because I give the impression that I’m strong, so people never ask if I’m okay, and then when I distant myself as a means to help myself through my problems, people complain. I’m not okay btw.

My problem with female INTJs is that I can’t even find one. Maybe it has to do with me staying inside my room too much.

There’s me and this other girl I know off. That’s 2 of us within the same general area. Just us 2 so far... :|
