..i'm both feeling guilty and satisfied at the same time.
..a former student of mine suddenly initiated a chat with me on facebook (which she never did before; not once)
..she started with, "hi sir!"
..and my almost instant reply? "mag-aalok ka ng networking noh."
..then she answered, "hindi naman.." (which probably means she was surprised that i already know, and she's hesitating if she would continue).
..then she asked, "bakit parang parang defensive ka re: networking?"
..and since i wasn't in a good mood right now, i told her the cold, hard, truth.
..that the whole networking thing is a scam which targets stupid / desperate / gullible people.
..and that my family has money so i don't need to rely on such an elaborate scam.
..i feel guilty.but at the same time, i feel satisfied.
..she's replying right now. don't wanna read it....yet. -_-
[UPDATE]: ..she didn't get offended; but UNsurprisingly she found a way to stir the conversation to "bioflavonoids" which led to something about her mom having breast cancer, and will definitely be about a product which contains bioflavonoids which in turn can cure cancer.
..WOW. just.. wow.
[UDPATE2]: ..aaand she's still at it. even if i just seenzone her. -_-
[UPDATE3]: ..yup,she's selling a product. and because i felt guilty earlier, i won't be an asshole to her and instead i replied with this:
..as much as i want to lash out on you because technically this is still networking because you are offering a product which still came from some kind of networking, i respect you as my former student. i liked your attitude before nung nasa school tayo, and you're one of the unique ones, so yeah, i respect you. so i will just promptly and respectfully reject your future offers of that product.
..and by the way,yeah, factual naman yung sinabi mo about bioflavonoids. i'm just not into that talaga.
..so there you go. i hope that's the end of it.
