Dear F,
Have you gone to school? When I was studying, we were taught to write a letter that begins with a salutation. How do I put this sensitively? Your messages are utterly rude and bullyish. You may be in a managerial position, but your manners do not match the professional rank that you possess. Just because you're close to the top honcho doesn't give you the license to act like that.
Hatefully yours,
~Carrie~

Dear W,
You have the confidence of a dance diva, but the body of a bullfrog. You think you know the choreography, but you sometimes forget the moves and make up your own. You even bragged about teaching a choreo that you haven't shared for a while, thinking you executed it flawlessly. Guess what, you sucked. You probably suck your partner better than sucking a dance class. How did you become a group exercise instructor? I dunno what standards the club has, but your manager should know about this. And no one, not even me, can give feedback, because we don't care that much about improving the experience of the class. But I hate you for such an injustice in this world, and I hate myself for condoning that kind of injustice.
Lots of loathing,
~Carrie~

Dear Self,
You're the biggest loser of them all. You can't find a new job, you were not given a promotion, much less even a small raise, and now you're fucking up at work. You're blaming yourself right now for giving inconvenience to the company for a small mistake with drastic impact.
Kasalanan mo naman kasi. Palpak yung trabaho mo. Tapos, away-awayin ba naman yung consultant. Kung mag-tantrums ka, daig mo si La Greta. At ang dami mo pang backlog sa ibang areas ng trabaho mo. Paano ka bibigyan ng promotion? Asa ka pa sa increment. Ayusin mo muna yang trabaho mo, bago ka magreklamo tungkol sa buhay, ok?
Ngayon, I forgive you. Iwasto mo yang mga kamalian mo. Magpa-good shot ka sa boss at mga kasama sa trabaho, para at least kung lilisanin mo na sila, eh wala silang masabing nega sa 'yo.
Tungkol kay F, wala na tayong magagawa dun. Imposible namang mag ala-Virginia P. ka at lampasan ang estado nya sa opisina. Tanggapin mo na lang na may mga ganyang tao at si Lord na bahala sa kanila.
Tungkol naman sa instructor mong si W, hayaan mo na sya. Kung hate mo sya, wag mo nang puntahan yung klase nya. Kung gusto mong baguhin yung experience mo sa class, step up, take training in coaching and develop your dance skills para makapagturo ka ng sarili mong klase. Otherwise, pumunta ka sa ibang fitness clubs para sa mga classes at instructors na gusto mo.
Mayado kang emosyonal ngayon. Tignan mo, nagba-blog ka sa gitna ng trabaho. Professional ba yan? Ilabas mo na lang sa mga friends mo ang hinanakit mo at lilipas din yan. Better yet, makipagsex ka tonight. Have some dirty fun, at baka makalimutan mo pansamantala mga pasanin mo. Pero alalahanin mo, hindi magbabago ang realidad pagdating ng Lunes. Sandali kang umatras sa kinalalagyan mo ngayon at tignan ang kabuuan ng mga bagay-bagay. Sa gayon ay marami kang maiwawasto at maitutuwid. Magmuni-muni ka. Maglayag. Choz. Magpasalamat ka na lang at weekend na - may panahon kang magpahinga, magrelax, at mag-isip-isip. Hamo na. Lilipas din ang mga masasamang pangyayari. Darating na ang mga mabubuting bagay.
Nagmamahal,
~Carrie~
