The Rat Race

Wake up at 4,

head straight out of the door.

Don't want to die poor,

I'd rather struggle and suffer more.


Lifting weights at the gym,

taking all my reps in.

When I'm done with the treadmill,

I want my legs to melt and cave in.


Back at home, I'll make sure the water is freezing,

so it can numb the pain of my corporate toiling.

Ate my breakfast, nourished and full, now I am brimming.

Took down notes, too early for work, ready for the draining.


Galvanized and inspired for another day of running.

The Long Walk who? This one's more entertaining.

Work-life balance? That's a sham.

Capitalism? We're all big fans!


Facebook, LinkedIn

What's the difference?

Twitter, IG or is it just me?

Everyone's busy building their legacy.


Hustle culture?

I'll stop when I'm older.

Running empty?

Your career, babe, is not a personality.


Passion is overrated.

Working hard and smart sounds the same.

Life begins after retirement.

Like love, work is also a losing game.


Logged in early, clocked out late.

Live to work is my ultimate fate.

Tired but fulfilled, say what you will.

Dying to work, because life's a big spinning wheel.

BLOCKED from your BPI Express Account? Here is the solution

This happened when I was in Puerto Princesa (not that you need to know about that but it is important that you know where I was at that time). We were on a vacation with 4 of my college friends. While chilling in our room I logged in on my BPI Express Online account to check if a particular transaction happened (note that this was payday so you get the idea right?). I logged in using my old Sony Ericsson phone which was a hand-me-down from my sister. Yeah, it’s old. I filled in my username and password (which was incorrect). The page loaded my request. But because of – I don’t know – my phone or the internet connection I decided to click the login button more than once just to make sure I did what I was supposed to do. Unfortunately, the BPI online app received the transaction but my phone (or the internet) was so slow to even notify me with my failed login attempt. I remember clicking the login button one-to-many times out of annoyance. I need to chec

Help! (02)795-2500 is calling me

-

  So, this number called you recently?  And because you're an introvert (like me) who doesn't want to answer unexpected calls the call would end up unanswered? Don't worry. It's just BPI offering a loan or something. I've answered one of their calls before and rejected the offer kindly. It was months ago so I have forgotten the number. And just recently the number appeared on my phone, calling. I left it ringing until it became a missed call. I went on the internet to seek the answer. I typed the number on the search bar and boom!  I recalled and realized BPI was calling yet again to offer loans.  You may or may not answer the call. If you do, you can decide for yourself to apply for a loan, or not. Hope this helped you today!
