Major Major Temper

I've always admitted that I have a very very bad temper. I easily get irked. I fight with people. I say nasty things to their face.

Here are some reasons/situations that totally irritated me. Unfortunately, for them, they got to experience the wrath of bloiggster's acerbic tongue.

1. Bad service from Globe and PLDT. Poor csr's. They were the recipients of my rants.

2. Inefficient service at Mcdo, Jollibee and KFC. I went directly to the manager and complained. What I hate the most was when the stupid crew did not even apologize for the mistake. (I know how It is to work in a fastfood chain coz I used to be a crew. Unfortunately for them, I know the sop's)

3. Hotel security who chose to check my bag but not the guy who was ahead of me just because he was wearing a tie and I was wearing my gym outfit. Double standard in hotel security? I immediately complained to the manager on duty and the guard was reprimanded.

4. Stupid taxi drivers in Manila, Bangkok and Jakarta.

5. Inefficient banking service at Metrobank, Banco de Oro, Landbank and Robinsons Bank.

6. Stupid jeepney conductors

7. People in chatrooms/blogs/social networking sites who are imbeciles!

I know that there are still other instances wherein I totally blew my top off but I just can't recall now.

I've been trying to control my temper these past few years. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes, not at all. But I try to tell myself not to let my emotions over ran my whole being or else I will be grouchy for the rest of my life.

Breathe in, breathe out.

We all have our episodes of katopakan/kasungitan but hopefully we get to control it and prevent ourselves from saying anything that's nasty and eventually regret it in the future.

It is important to vent out our frustrations and anger but it's also essential that it is done at the right time and place.

If it is petty, let go. There is no need to be angry over things that will consume your whole self for a long period of time.

It's much better if we let go, move on and stay positive about life in general.

Easy to say but most of the time, difficult to do. But at least, try.

I know that there are many instances that I become an Oscar, Donald or Duffy but I do try not to be consumed by my anger.

I guess it's still a work in progress...
