Shows how intelligent and classy you really are, F! :) I agree that being nice doesn't equate to being a good person. I will never describe myself as nice. Like you, I speak my mind, I'm brutally frank, but my real friends and family love me for that. And I, like many of your readers, love you for your honesty, too. :) I'd say you are not "nicey-nice", but you're a really really good person.:)Bernadette Villanuevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10555874160460926665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-11516779215841534802013-07-22T16:18:09.237+08:002013-07-22T16:18:09.237+08:00You are nice. ;) You are nice. ;) Kaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184827485987384926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-90207909196940042332013-07-22T15:46:44.930+08:002013-07-22T15:46:44.930+08:00Hehe.

I've always been proud of the fact that like me or hate me, what you see is what you get. If you don't like what I;ve done, tell me so I can do something about it. Otherwise I'll take it that you're a-ok. And like you and some of your other readers, I guess I can bucket myself in the I'm not nice but I'm a good person category... And It's ok. Please keep posting your thoughts. It's really refreshing to read a woman with substance and with conviction. FOr that I really admire you.candzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839158155979178705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-25438848090780128582013-07-22T09:37:53.432+08:002013-07-22T09:37:53.432+08:00Oh my!

But when you're a boss, I remember reading one of your blogs when you were looking for a summer job employee, you're very strict and you're very specific with what you were looking for in an employee. You're very transparent, very honest, I may say. :)kbuenavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191808120498699959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-67932870323397985402013-07-22T05:54:57.537+08:002013-07-22T05:54:57.537+08:00I actually find your honesty very refreshing. ;-)I actually find your honesty very refreshing. ;-)Vaneniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14075568861006639663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-34304116658185352242013-07-22T04:31:18.175+08:002013-07-22T04:31:18.175+08:00Nice is a whole lot different from being a good pe...Nice is a whole lot different from being a good person. I'm ok with good people who are not nice. Because sometimes, to be good person, you have to do stuff that aren't "nice". I'd prefer a good person over someone who acts nice because they're afraid to stand up for what they believe in.<br /><br />It's easy to be nice. It's difficult to risk being hated for doing the right thing.<br /><br />PS I don't like that question. If someone asks me that, I'll feel like I'm being accused of pretending to be someone I'm not.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812286705027210539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-44990639759115603102013-07-22T00:23:06.164+08:002013-07-22T00:23:06.164+08:00This is why you are one of my favorite bloggers!

I may be a relatively new reader, pero feeling ko gets na kita ng slight. You're brutally honest but not mean. And that's what I like about you. Real. No sugarcoating whatsoever. I remember the first time (hope not the last hehe) I met you in person, I kept on saying ang cute ni Inigo, so then I said "pwera usog". Nakasanayan na kasi. Old school. Hihi. Tapos you said you don't believe in that, that only bad people have usog. If I was only an idiot who has low EQ, I could have felt bad about that but no, I felt okay 'cause you unleashed the real you in front of me. You didn't pretend to be someone else by keeping mum about it and just said thank you. Bet ko yun, Frances. 'Cause somehow, ganun din ako. I only have a few friends now because of my honesty. Pero at least I know yung mga natitira na yun are the real ones. Haba ng comment, I should have blogged about this na lang. Haha!<br /><br />But... if people think you're still nice despite your confession that you're not, then that's good. :)Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16652000419685241735noreply@blogger.com
