    Nice spin. They probably can't show any econometric models since this post was for public consumption (who likes math anyways), but economic growth does not necessarily correlate to a rise of inflation to more than triple of what it was a year ago. Yup, more than triple.

    Someone please correct me if I'm woefully incorrect here as I'm definitely not an expert.

    Unfortunately, the illustration would still be difficult for an ordinary person to understand. What matters for the 21M is if Malacanang says it is good for the economy, it must be true.

    You made me LOL! I'm going to look like an idiot wearing that in the office. hahaha! Reminds me of the film "There's something about Mary" There's a character that always wears earmuffs and does not want it touched.

    hahaha! My pet peeve is noise and noisy people. I am extremely quiet and reserved in person. Opposite of my persona on the board :P

    well, let"s see if they can sell it. If i know the average Juan, he's more worried about his own economics.

    There was really a time that I did it! There are some people who are really loud, and it's natural for them. Although you can say that they are somewhat inconsiderate.

    I have learned to "accept" this girl, and then I'll just joke around and imitate her. Just to let go of my irritating feeling as she will laugh together with me.

    You may find it weird for me, but there is nothing I can do. I can't change her and so I made some adjustments​ on my part. Of course, there are limits.

    And yes, they laughed at me when they saw me wearing it. Particularly when I timed it when she arrived, and she also laughed.

    Good thing is, she is no longer here so our office is back to its normal noise. And so I've heard that she didn't do well on her next company.

    I wonder if that girl in your office sounds like the girl in my office. Her voice is so high pitched and loud! I am not kidding that she sounds like a squealing pig I just use my earphones and listen to music so I won't hear her. But there are times when I want to rest my ears.

    I really wonder how it's like at their house. My parents always call me out whenever I raise my voice or talk loudly. I even have to be careful with my steps (which really irritates me when my Mom calls me out for that)

    Most probably they are the same. Just imagine, right after she entered the room that you can hear her. And she will go on for a while even when she is not talking to anyone in particular.

    My friend was taking his nap, and suddenly will be startled. Perhaps you can now imagine how loud it it.

    My ear rings when my officemate talks It is so high pitched and loud talaga. Worse pa when she laughs. My BFF told me that the girl is aware that she has a loud mouth. It makes me wonder why she is not doing anything to change it

    Single pa siya or separated? I have an officemate na ganyan (single mom) - fully aware naman siya siguro. Kwentuhan nga namin - kahit ako naging asawa niya lalayasan ko din

    LOL! Single but with a longtime BF. I think she is mid or late 20s.

    May isa pang maingay na staff dito dati, buti na lang BFF ko ang boss niya so I told my BFF, ang ingay ng staff niya. Good thing, tumahimik naman after. Saka hindi naman masakit sa tenga boses niya, madaldal lang talaga.

    Can you imagine how she's like during ***y time. Lol. If I were a guy, that shrieky loud voice would kill my boner. Yung mga hapon nga I can't watch because of the irritating moaning that sounds like crying na ewan.

    LOL!

    BBC as in big black? I don't watch inter racial. I don't like looking at dark "you know what" It does not look nice

    BTT: NOT A SINGLE DAY goes by when I don't get startled or cuss out a motorcycle (in my head). I really want to go back to at least the early 2000s (not much motorcycles)

    I can't remember anong year ba biglang bumuhos ang motor sa Pilipinas.

    It's during the time when China was booming and less and less people are using a motorcycle bcoz they're buying cars na and yung di mabenta ay pinadala sa pinas hehehehe.
