Notes from a Plain Jane

Random Writings about anything
Finally, my little feet step on the boundary of the infamous Resorts World Manila here in the Philippines.
It is a Shopping Mall with 24 hours Cinema and Casino inside. I must admit that this is a place for people in Class A and B. I was laughing silently because most girls are in heels, and dress and thank God that I am with my office mates who are all wearing jeans and tee because I swear, I wouldn't go to this place under-dressed like we did. So how come we were in RW on a Friday night? and what we were doing there?

We wanted to watch The Amazing Spiderman because:
1. We are fanatic of cartoon movies, all of us have the nerd side according to our manager.
2. Emma Stone is HOT!
3. back to number 2 :D Haha

So one of my office mate asked her friend who is already in RW to buy us a ticket since its a Friday Night, and its a No Reservation rule. Her friend didn't reply so we call RW, after some difficulties connecting on their line we finally managed to get some information about the number of seats available etc. Our schedule was 11:50, we left the office at 11:10 but boy, we are stuck in a traffic at gate 3. We reach RW at 11:50 PM but our other office mates are still stuck on that crazy traffic. Since we are there, we just decided to go on the next sched which is 1:40. We have some time to spare so we are thinking if we will eat or go to Casino. It's funny because all of them asked me instantly if I have any idea that will indicate my age. Casino's doesn't allow people under 21, and they claimed that I look like a little girl and they are sure that the guards will asked me for an ID. I don't have any that moment because I left everything at the office except my Domo-Kun little purse which I put my company ID, cellphone and money. I lost my wallet a week ago, so all my cards are in one card holder that i don't usually bring. This urge to go to Casino is really something that we have tried 2 entrances XD. The first entrance, we didn't continue to go because they told us that back-packs are not allowed and we need to deposit it first. They are joking that they should deposit me along with the bag, or I stay at Game Zoo. The next entrance, I didnt succeed to pass because they are asking me for ID. After that my office mate have this wonderful idea that I will use her alumni Id and Philcare. I was so nervous at that time, especially when we are infront of the guards. I just walk, gave the two ID's. I remember the guards asked my birthdate and all I can do is nod my head but I cannot speak because of nervousness. When I finally went it, my office mates who witnessed me at the moment are laughing and joking that all they are waiting is for me to passed out. And I swear, I am on the edge of that, but I never passed out haha. They are all laughing and telling me that finally I broke some rules and I shouldnt do that again, but its funny! And I have another crazy moment XD

We spend some time at the Casino and observed people there, but I don't like the place. I don't like the smell of cigarette and people smoke there. You can see what money can do. Its my first time going to Casino, and honestly it looks like an Arcade, you put some money, you play and get a reward. The only difference are, its much costly and you will received money aswell. It's like a grand Arcade with tables for other games. If you will ask me if I will go again? Maybe to try the games but I am not a fond of games with money involved, and the smokes is a major turn off even though i love the carpeted floors :P

The movie finished at 4:10 AM, we go back to office and continue working :) 
P.S. The Amazing Spideman is AMAZING!

I've been working for two years this coming June 28, and up to now I am indecisive what career will i really take. I don't enjoy my current role now, and even though i wanted the career decision to be made by my manager/team lead I can't do that.

I'm stuck actually, I do not know which path should I take, but definitely i will make a decision this coming months.

I must work hard to find anything :)
You probably living on another planet, if at one point in your life no asked your opinion if a purely platonic relationship between opposite sex is possible.

Here are some video's that tackles about this topic :)



P.S. You can search on youtube if you want more :P

Since people are giving their side, and the decision is in your hands, I wanted to share a piece of my mind aswell.

I think that a purely platonic relationship is NOT possible between opposite sexes because genetically, we are programmed to like the opposite sex which we called attraction. But if you will ask me whether they can be just friends, they CAN but  sometimes there is a point in time when one, or both of them will consider having a romantic relationship with their friends:)

I have plenty guy friends, and up to now I can say that they are my friends so that is a possibility of a platonic relationship, but if you will asked me if there is a point in time where I have a crush, or think that we could have a relationship crosses my mind, it did.

 I remember years ago, way back in high school, I never wanted my friend to court me because I only want their friendship, and I am too afraid for a relationship. That point of view sticks to me until my dearest bestfriend told me that I shouldn't act as if I do not know that what I am thinking is impossible. People gets attracted in so many ways, some are by the look and others by the personality. When you are being friends with the opposite sex, you get to know them better that you start to care, and cherish them. It can be a start of something else. I think idea of going to more than friends crosses the mind of everyone, but filtered it and just go on with the friendship.

Here are some common reason's why  " friends" didnt pursue being "more than" what they have:
  • the other party is committed, their brain dismissed this idea
  • the other party has someone in mind and heart (believe me, most of my guy friends have crushes WAY better than me that's why we are all friends)
  • you don't want to ruin anything so you just reminding your self not to fall (its a choice :) so we can't categorize it under purely :)
  • You see each other as a sister/brother
I think for me the most common on my experience is that I saw them as my big brother, but some of them I reminded myself not to fall for because its a dangerous territory and based from my personality, it will be difficult for me to escape :P

I suddenly remember a quote I used to love in college that will summarize my point of view on this question:



P.S. I bet falling in love with a friend is the sweetest thing :) Because you are not just partners, you are friends first and foremost.
