i applied for a postpaid line at the sun shop in cash & carry, makati last friday....i brought along all the documents required (valid id, proof of billing, income tax certificate, payslips for two months)....a girl assisted in completing the forms required....she even discussed with me the possible free phones i could get....she then told me that my application will be submitted that afternoon and i should expect a call within three days....the next day i received a call (prompt) asking if i have already received information regarding the status of my application...i said not yet....she then said my application has been denied....i asked why and she said she doesn't know....then she told me that i could apply for a line without the free phone...i forgot how they call that promo....it has no freephone and no 24-month lockup.....yesterday (tuesday) i decided to just get the line without the free phone....i felt that that was a better deal because of the no lockup provision....anyway the phone that they will be giving is not a must-have phone so who cares.....on my way to the mall i got a call from sun asking me if i am willing to wait because they will be forwarding my application for re-evaluation....i asked why....she said that that's usually what they do with denied applications....i found it unusual that they will ask for re-evaluation three days after the first evaluation....but i said yes anyway.....then a few minutes ago i received another call again form sun....i was asked (again) if i have already received information regarding my application....i said not yet....and then she said yet again that my application has been denied....i laughed....hmmmm....will i receive another call after three days for another re-evaluation?.....hahaha....sun cellular......fun doing business with them....hahaha.......sun goes up.....sun goes down.....sun goes up.....sun goes down.....a cycle we all know......like their application process......or better yet, like their signal....i'll just get that line without the free phone.....to experience a roller coaster ride......would you like to join the ride?.....

trespassing
on my way to the office i saw a huge fenced vacant lot that....there was a 'no trespassing' sign hanging on the makeshift gate......what is trespassing?.....i learned from my grade school language that to trespass means to enter a property without the owner's consent......hmmmm.....sounds simple, right?......to enter a property uninvited.....would you say a party gatecrasher is trespassing?....would you call a person who is violating your privacy a trespasser?.....would you call stepping over somebody else's responsibilities trespassing?....i wonder....
wait......
i just checked.....wiki says 'trespass' is divided into three groups....trespass to the person, trespass to chattels and trespass to land.....okay......so there.....i didn't read the entire wiki output because it was too long it would take me days to finish....fine, fine.....i'm exaggerating......
so why am i so concerned with trespassing.......actually i'm not.......i'm just a little concerned.....why?....well i just learned that a friend is feeling bad lately because somebody is 'stealing' his responsibilities at work....a colleague of his is doing the things he is supposed to do.....that guy must be trying to earn some brownie points from the higher ups......bad.......bad.......am i being judgmental?....i am?.....okay, fine, maybe that guy just wants to help.......hmmmmm..........hmmmm......but i still think that is bad......if that guy has pure intentions then he should have asked my friend first if he wants some help......tsk...tsk.....
trespassing?......i say yes......
wait......

insecurity...
why are you so insecure?
you graduated from a good school?
you have a good job?
you have had your share of promotions?
you have money?
these are things that should give you some amount of confidence. these things should assure you that you can do it. these things should assure you that you are good such that you don't have to always compete with others just to prove yourself.
.....
in my opinion insecurity develops as we grow up...
examples:
1. family of girl is not rich...she does not get to buy nice clothes and shoes like her other classmates...when she grows up and starts earning money, she buys signature clothes...seems okay, right?...the problem is she does not just wear those nice clothes to look good bu to look better than her colleagues or friends...she may or may not be intentionally doing it but she is competing with them...
2. a boy gets good grades...he becomes part of the honors list but never makes it to the top...he knows he is doing his best so he feels bad because his efforts never seem enough to make it to number 1...at first he either feels he is doing something wrong or there is something he is still not doing but should be doing...nothing wrong with that...but he cant find that something...this leads him to resent the others who seem to have discovered that something that he still fails to unearth...as he grows and enter college problem becomes bigger because he fails to get in to the school that he thinks is where all the bright ones study...this makes his hatred towards those who are better than him more pronounced...he always competes with them...he likes to look at the things that they do so that when they commit mistakes he can have something to use against them...
3. a girl grows up with an older sister and a younger brother...dad likes her older sister very much...mom likes the youngest so much...she feels sad because she does not get the same attention as her other siblings...she tries her best to get noticed but to no avail....she feels depressed....then she because envious of the two...she tries her best to compete with them...then she grows up and enter into a relationship...she always feel her boyfriend is fooling around...she gets jealous all the time....
.......
these are issues that should be handled by parents early on...parents sensitive to the needs of their children will notice these signs....they make ways to address them...they give them assurances so they will feel assured...complete...confident...when these issues are not addressed early they become bigger...and the feeling of insecurity could he really consume ones whole being and this could lead him to do really bad things...
examples of possible consequences
1. could lead to stealing to money just so he or she could buy nice things
2. could lead to entering jobs like drug dealing or prostitution just to have money
3. inventing stories about others to put them down
4. cheating in exams
5. having several boyfriends/girlfriends at the same time to feel loved
6. entering into adulterous relationships
7. ....murder
again, to prevent these things from happening, kids should be given enough love by their parents...parents are responsible for making the children secured in all aspects of their lives....
