It was a weird dream. I couldn't see a clear image out of my dark surroundings. All I know is that I was place with the people who I care so much; whose faces I hardly even remember. I'm not sure if they're my family or relatives. What I know is that they are very close to me and we're in a familiar strange dark house.

Fear crept my body. I remember seeing people. They are like monsters torturing others to death. Blood was everywhere. The place looked like a torture chamber and the they all cringe in pain, screaming at the top of their lungs as we passed by. It looked as if we were just exploring the building, watching them. They were aware us, looking at them and still continues to torture the poor souls-in-hostage.

A girl said that we'll be "next". Of course, we're shocked but she assured me that I'll be alright and they'll only spare me. She asked for an aspirin and said that they will use it to us later.

I had second thoughts in giving the medicine. I was having doubts and suspicion on everything that will happen. I fear that they will really kill me and it disturbs me so much, that I thought that it isn't fair. It's not right that I alone will be spared. I thought of offering myself to them so that my companions will be safe. But I end up handling her the aspirin from a window.

I can see those people looking at me... especially a man. I cannot remember his face. I know I saw his face, unfortunately, it's now vague in my memory. Even so, something in him feels familiar.

My companions and I continue to wander around the house. We packed some of our things. I found myself naked, totally exposed. I dressed myself up by who know what. All I can remember was me, looking at a cabinet. There's a rat chewing on some meat when I opened the door. I also remember seeing 2 dead mouse inside my messenger bag, with worms crawling out of their bodies. Someone tried to dispose them as I continue my way...

I reached a room and this time, it looks like a room from my grandmother's house. I was in the second floor, looking at a window. I looked at my right and there's this same man again, torturing someone at the street. He was electrocuting another man and I can hear cries of pain. He looked up and saw me by the window. I saw that he was smiling at me. I was puzzled why he smiled and I know that I'm not supposed to see it. I won't tell him that I saw him.

So I went downstairs when someone called me. My companions are also there and also the strange man. He asked who was the one he saw looking at the window. I told him that it was me. He smiled at me.. I thought that he would get angry or anything. Then, I cannot remember what goes after that. I remember seeing pair of scissors and I know that I had a fight with some girl... or does the man fight with someone?

After that, I was asked by that guy to jump from a high place and he will catch me. I can't remember what place was that. All I know is that I was scared and I can't trust that guy. He was still smiling at me as he look at me from below, telling me that he'll certainly catch me.

Someone asked me to jump already but I can't. I closed my eyes and said, "Pag pinikit ko ba ang mata ko, sasaluhin mo ako?".

He just smiled, didn't answer and walked in circles. Seems like he's not serious at this. "Tumalon ka na," he called. My doubt didn't end. I know he won't catch me.

"Tumalon ka na", he called again. With eyes still closed and my arms spread wide, I jumped. I could feel myself falling hard and then he catch me like a dancer lifted in an interpretive dance.. I feel my body rolling and then he got me on my feet.I couldn't remember the event that goes next. All I know is that I woke up after seeing a tiger and a lion walking towards me.

Does anyone care to interpret this dream?

Last Monday night, my mother called me from downstairs. She said I have a call from a US Company.

I was puzzled and asked, "What company?". I hadn't even submit a resume to a company... not that I know of. I began to recall some unusual phone events in my earlier years.

"Maybe it's that networking-job scheme again?" I presumed. So I hurried downstairs and picked the phone.

The word, "Hello?" was my first greeting.

Right in track, it was the same voice I heard of 2 months ago. That same woman's voice--only this time, she told me that she's a company executive manager and offer me a job. The rest was history. I almost chuckled audibly but restrained so that I wouldn't sound disrespectful.

Surely, the last time I heard from her was someone recommended me as a junior manager or something. Then she asked me if I am working or not, if I have a free time, etc. She still have this same accent and "staged", robotic dialogue that I remember -- not really worthy to be the "company executive manager"

I asked her from whom did she get my number. She told me that someone referred me to them. Then she invited me to come to their company in business attire and have a view. No need for resume because there's no commitment yet. I feinted a response telling her that I'll come.

Then she said in the same dialogue she told me months ago, "Ok Ms.... You sounded like a professional. I hope you won't back out in the last minute. We'll be expecting you"

It's the same charade. A year ago, this certain company also contacted my sister (and also me after a few months) telling that our school highly recommended us. Then my sister called our alma matter's guidance councilor's office to confirm the statement. They were also surprised about it. Still, we're so relieved of that information. Who would want someone in a company like that?

A few months later, another call followed. Only this time it is a homosexual gay voice. He's so good at conversations that with insufficient knowledge on what lies behind the lines, you'll surely fall on it. I searched over the name of their company and their address like I did last time. Woah! It's still the same scheme.

I could only think of someone I knew from high school who still might have my phone number. Rather, I could only think of a company who might have my number because when back then, someone also recruited us in a multi-level networking company. That might figure!

Months followed and then this call. I tried to search over the internet again for the address she gave me just have a view of the company. It's 15th Floor Teleperformance Building, San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas. I gasped. The last time I remembered they told me it was 15th floor Octagon Building San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas. There were so many links showed.

Bingo! There it was. As I've thought, it's the same company that called us several years ago. Same tactic. Their names varied but still they're the same even if they changed their address. Gosh! I'm sick of their way they're getting their prospects like telling you that you were highly recommended by your school, or having a leadership seminar, or having someone referred you for a job.

There are so many forums that I've heard of regarding the same issue. I'll quote someone from it: "REAL MULTI LEVEL MARKETING SCHEMES DONT PAY YOU TO RECRUIT OTHERS, YOU GET PAID BY SELLING...IF YOU DO GET A REWARD FOR RECRUITMENT IT IS NOT YOUR MAIN SOURCE OF REVENUE.", from Drei in mapuaownage forum

By all means, I'm a little bit disappointed that it's not a job offer. Rather, it may be a BUSINESS OFFER. An opportunity. I'm frustrated on how they get their prospects. I'm not really someone who could do some sales talk. Yes, I'd like to earn money and would like to have a business but not now. I'm still looking for a job as a nurse. It's frustrating that they have to hide it and would tell that it's a job offer and someone refer you when it's not like that.

So...is it a Multi-level Marketing or a Pyramiding Scheme? What is it? I believe that you can earn money just by selling, not recruiting people and taking their money just by that. Believe it! I just don't think it's right or FAIR. It's like asking for alms-- a very easy way to have money even though you still have the strength to work in a good way(not that I condemn those people in the streets). Easy money... right!

To end my irritation, I'd like to give a word of enlightenment. I believe that "in order to attain, something of equal value must be lost."---(from Full Metal Alchemist) Read: HARD WORK. If you're still strong and capable by all means, you must work. Never give up. Never lose hope and that's it.

In almost two months, I still don't have any interesting stuffs to write about. I'm having some crazy ideas like a love story, letters, diaries, or other mystery novels. My blog here is full of angst and shits and even I, myself, don't bother reading my entries (for it gives me some flashbacks which I don't wanna experience). I need some inspiration... an idea of what I'm supposed to write about. HELP!

Just this noon, Kent visited me here in my house just to watch 1 Liter of Tears. I invited him since it's his day off and he got nothing else to do in his house. Knowing that made my stomach dived a little, since I don't seem to excited about it. He often visit me nowadays especially since I resigned from my former job.

After that, the episode seems to bore him and I already copied some mp3 files for his player. He suggested that I should sign him up at Facebook. Watching me play some games in that website captured his interest especially with vampire wars and Naruto wars. So I made an account for him. After that, there are some personality quizzes that I made him answer. It was really fun knowing some cool results. Perhaps he'll like it now.

This day's been really wonderful. I realized that I missed him a little coz it's almost been a week since I've seen him. Darkness came and I told him that he should get going. We bade goodbye to each other, followed by a textmessage, "thank you". Somehow, I mis him already and may we always be together

My Current Mood:
bored and sick

Another weeks passed and there's still no developments -- except some fatty flabs in my waist that I get from being lazy around and eating the whole day. I managed to meet some people online and then get in touch with some of my school buddies and friends thru cellphone. Nothings ever changed.

Yesterday was Mother's Day. As usual, I greeted my mom a "Happy Mother's Day" when she came home from Cavite. I would love to treat her to a restaurant or a movie if given a chance that I have work now, yet I haven't. She might really love it especially because I now earn money. Anyway, we just have a little dinner over a whole bilao of pancit malabon (a local food). I then massaged her head like she wants me to. That was nice.

Today, some people would text me lot of crazy stuffs. There's this guy from my office that texted me. Looks like he got nothing better to do but sent some flirts and jokes all night, flirting like a lame dog. Seriously, he better bug someone else. Still I find it funny, at least he still remembers me.

I wonder what else can I use to kill boredom...
