Office Dating: My friend's story, Part 1

A friend of mine once dated a co-worker of hers. It was all hush-hush because they are on the same department. Worse, she’s the head of the department and her date was one of the staff. Needless to say, this was food for the grapevine and my friend didn’t want to be the one feeding them.

But she was so in love with the guy and the two became lovers. Within weeks of being together, their actions spoke louder than words. Every one in the office started talking. The guy is handsome and the focus of many a women’s fantasies in the office. Naturally, my friend got the flak she didn’t deserve.

Slowly, photos of the two of them in compromising acts were being leaked to the company’s intranet. Photos that were photoshopped. To this day, my friend was not able to trace who the perpetrators were. So anyway, my friend’s bosses were not amused by the gossip. They want her to end the relationship and act as a boss once and for all. She weighed everything and came to one conclusion: she loved her work more than the guy. She broke up with him. But the guy didn’t take it well…

Office dating…

I have gathered something about office dating that I will post in a day or two. This hits close to home because a friend of mine had the same experience a couple of years ago. Dated a co-worker. A subordinate, in fact. It was the food that fed the grapevine for almost a year! Until my friend realized the mistake of it all. But by that time, the consequence of what she entered into was blown out of proportion. Hit the fan!

Anyway, the article that I read reminded me of that time. I will tell you more in my next post.

Stay tuned.

Unperfect

unperfect

There is no perfect person in this world. I doubt if you will find one. We just have to learn to accept and live with the imperfections of the one we love that’s why we find him or her perfect in our eyes.

I am not perfect. I have very minimal quirks that you won’t even realize it’s there :P

Happy Monday everyone!

Love… hurts?

Love does not hurt. It should never have to hurt. I heard this from Oprah, in that episode where they discussed what happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna. The infamous hitting incident between the two R&B superstars have been discussed thoroughly in different shows, mostly inviting experts to comment on it, analyze what really happened.

Personally, I think that both Chris Brown and Rihanna should be counseled about what happened. It is being reported that the two are back together again. What does this situation teach young people out there? That it’s okay to get back to the person who hit you? To forgive, yes. Forgiving the person who has done you wrong is good. But to actually go back to him, welcome him with open arms after almost killing you…

Remember this always… love doesn’t have to hurt. Ever!
