itong last pic na ang pinakamaayos ko. biruin mo, dito lang ako hindi nakapikit! kapag minamalas ka talaga.

WAVE

got back from WAVE (Work Attitude and Values Enhancement) seminar at Pampanga last saturday. super tiring.

first off...bakit nga ba ako pinadala dun? lyn, sam and i were joking that we were probably sent there because we lacked work attitude and values. hehe. sabi ko na nga ba at balang araw, aabutan din ako ng aking pagkatamad. hehe. ikaw ba naman ang pinakamadalas ma-late. hehe. text nga ng text yun ka-opisina ko kung umabot ako sa bus e. haha. sowri. sakto ang dating ko. wehehe. :p i guess i passed the first test.

----------
bloopers:
2nd day: breakfast ... first to arrive sa lounge. hehe. basta kainan, hindi talaga mauunahan.

lyn: (to waiter) anong breakfast?
waiter: itlog po.
me: itlog lang?! (with matching panlalaki ng mata!)
waiter: hindi po with tocino/longganisa
me: ah...
lyn: anong kasama nun?
waiter: wala po
sam: walang rice?
waiter: meron po
lyn: garlic rice?
waiter: hindi po
lyn: plain/steamed rice?
waiter: hindi po
lyn: ah e, ano?
waiter: garlic rice po
(at this point, napapakamot na lang ako ng ulo while trying to suppress my laugh. sam can't help but giggle)

after a few minutes, the waiter serves us our meal...

lyn: asan dito ang longganisa?
(we were served a choice of tapsilog or corned beef silog)

----------
aside from the humorous conversations with the waiters, one cannot help but be amused by the exotic food offerings of the resort. we concluded that they believed in hinduism (please correct me if im wrong) because of the food reincarnation.

one dinner, our dessert consisted of singkamas pastillas which the waiters dare not taste nor touch at the least. personally, i think it tasted like chalk. at least we were able to bond with "competitors" and discuss theories on what we were really digesting.

during one merienda break, people were eagerly lining up to get a slice of what looked like a delicious pie of some sort. i can't help but laugh looking at the faces of the people after taking a bite. after numerous interviews of people who ate the pie, we have agreed that it probably is tamarind pie because most of them said it tasted like tamarind. but after seeking out management, we found out it was rasberry cinnamon pie. whatever!

good thing i never really liked tasting stuff that didn't look presentable at the least.

----------
the buzz!

its funny how drunk people can resort to wacky antics just to entertain themselves. we had this talkshow session complete with kris, boy and even joebert! funny funny! learned a lot of things about different people.

truly one of the best seminars i attended.


boo...forgot to bring my camera. so no pictures to post. i'll try to get some from the other people.

let it sting

don't worry. this will pass. things will be alright.

everything has a happy ending. Ü

slacker girl

tsk tsk.

busy weekend

ang eventful ng past week ko. lalu na nung weekend.


fri:
10am: client call with Pam
malapit lang naman sa office. sa may Park Square. first client call ko 'to. tatanga pa ako. nakalimutan ko maglagay ng new batch ng calling cards sa wallet ko. buti na lang may natira pang 2. hindi ko masyadong nakuha ang pinag-uusapan dahil may mga bagay na masyadong technical para sa akin. marami pang kailangan aralin.

pm: calls
halos 3 days kasi ako mawawala next week kaya dapat sagad-sagarin na ang time this week para maaccomplish lahat ng pwede.

7pm: meet with chi and miggy
6pm dapat kami magkikita ni chi. e since kaya naman humabol ni miggy ng 630, hintayin na lang namin siya. ang kaso, 7 na rin nagkakitaan. may sort of weird experience sa LKG. pero ayus lang. Ü

8pm: meet at dencio's with gabay peeps for ava's "surprise" thingie
830 na kami nakarating nila chi. late din ang mga tao. yung surprise parang hindi surprise dahil expected na rin at halata naman kami. lumang tugtugin na ata. hehe. kaya dapat sa birthday ko iba naman! *hint hint*

sat:
9am: meet with officemates for Tuesday's presentation
nakakainis lang na maaga sana ako kung hindi lang sira ang stoplight at every five seconds lang nagpapalit. ang tagal tuloy bago ako makarating sa kanto ng santolan coming from gilmore. pero ang cool! mga 2hours lang kami nagwork. tapos agad. iba talaga kapag team effort. hehe. chikahan session after. haha. ang saya magbonding. tapos since maaga pa, nakikain na rin ako ng lunch. mmm...sarap! chicken curry + fried chicke + strawberry ice cream = busog at masakit ang tiyan! hehehe.

1230pm: meet with Sassy girls at Cibo
buti na lang malapit lang sa bahay ng officemate ko. kain again dahil libre ni Sue who celebrated her bday yesterday. hehe. at parang hindi pa ako kumain. hahaha. syet matakaw na talaga ako. may explosive news na nareveal! hehe. sayang wala si andrea and val. kahit kulang kami, ang kulit naming apat. ang ingay-ingay namin talaga mag-usap. reminds me of our college days. hay.

330pm: clothes shopping at greenhills
before going there, naisip ko na agad na yung 1k ko dapat masulit at mapagkasya ko for 3 blouses. aba, akalain mo, may sale sa meg! 3 for 1k! hehe. o diba? mga 15-20 minutes lang ako sa loob tapos na agad ang shopping trip ko.

4pm: pick-up kat at dorm
in fairness, ang bilis ko magdrive. andun na ako by 430pm. greenhills to Nakpil in 30 minutes. record-breaking time. haha. at in fairness, marami na akong alam na shortcuts. hehe.

5pm: uwi muna
ang bilis ko talaga magdrive. hehe. inaatake na siguro sa puso yung guardian angel ko kakabantay sa akin. hehe. buti na lang alisto siya. konting sukat-sukat ng pinamili sa greenhills.

630pm: buy cake and head to cainta
may celebration kasi kila noel. bday ng ate niya tapos yung isa niyang ate naman kakatapos lang mag-oathtaking. tapos andito rin sa manila parents niya. may salu-salo daw. dumaan ako ng red ribbon sa may timog. medyo matagal akong nag-isip kung aling cake ang kukunin. e kasi hindi naman healthy yun para sa mom nya e. pero yun lang naisip ko na pwede bilhin at the last minute. hehe.

710pm: cainta na ako!
yehey! last activity for the day. ang daming tao! hehe. hindi ko maalala ang mga pangalan ng pinakikilala sa akin. basta laging tatandaan ang safe na gawin ay : magsmile at wave hello! hehehe. cute cute talaga ng mga bata (kyle, guenne, ella, sasa and the 2 other kids). parang gusto ko na rin magkababy...pero di pa pwede. haha. hindi pa ako ready.

10pm: head home
kahit maaga pa. ang bilin kasi ni fairy godmother aka kumander mommy, dapat by 11 nasa bahay nako. sabi ko na e. wrong move ata na magsabi na may bf na e. yan tuloy. mas maaga pa ako umuwi ngayon kumpara nung wala akong bf na maghahatid at mag-aalala sa akin. haha. isn't it ironic? ika nga ni alanis.

sun:
tamad! hehe. batugan. natulog ako hanggang tanghalian. dapat umaga pa lang punta na akong mega mall. hindi ako makaalis dahil wala rin kasiguraduhan ang mga tao. dapat kasi si mommy at charlie ang kasama ko. kaso tinatamad si charlie. wala naman daw siya gagawin. tapos ayaw na rin ni mommy. kasi ayaw ni charlie at nagvolunteer naman kasi si noel na samahan ako. si con, hindi makadecide kung sasama ba o hindi. wala raw siyang pera.

330pm: head to mega mall
ang init! sinuot ko pa naman yung bagong bili kong tunic. nyar. ang hina ng aircon ng nasakyan kong fx pero ok lang kasi mabilis ang biyahe. kaso pagdating sa MRT, hindi nga siksikan, wala naman aircon. syet. nangangamoy na yung katabi ko. natakot akong baka mahawaan. hehe.

430pm: meet with noel
yey! kita na rin kami. dumaan sandali sa place na nagmimisa. actually tamad na ako mamili pero kailangan ko na bumili ng shoes. sira na lahat ng sapatos ko at ang tagal na nung huli akong bumili ng shoes na "mamahalin" haha. mahal naman sa akin lahat e. haha. kaya madalas tsinelas ang binibili ko. kumportable pa! binili rin namin si kat ng infinity wrap.

6pm: head to gateway
dinner at movie. sandali lang kasi kami nagkita nung saturday. monthsary pa naman namin tapos walang quality time. at ayoko pang umuwi. hehe. ang ganda ng Date Movie! super funny pero medyo gross. hahaha. bago kong favorite. makabili nga ng kopya.

9pm: uwi na
baka mapagalitan kasi e. sabi ko kasi sa mom ko sandali lang ako. bibili lang ako ng shoes. haha. napagalitan nga ako...pero ibang issue na yun. ok lang. masaya naman araw ko. hehe.
Take this test at Tickle

Your movie star double is Reese Witherspoon

space cadet (in the nicest sense of the word) like you needs to be played by someone who has her own rosy outlook on life, someone who is completely loyal, someone who is unbelievably endearing, someone like Reese Witherspoon.Whether she's lighting up the stage as the dreamy darling in The Importance of Being Earnest, or pushing passed her blonde image in Legally Blonde, Reese's perfect for the part of someone who's seemingly clueless at times, but oddly intuitive when it matters most (even if we know that in real life she's a clever cookie).Maybe you sometimes get preoccupied when people are talking around you, but who cares if you jump back into the conversation with a slightly bizarre comment or two? It just means your mind has been wandering in interesting places. You, like Reese in her leading lady roles, probably prefer to dedicate your full attention into the things that give you the most joy: your friends, your family, or a cause you're dedicated to. But ultimately, that's part of what attracts people to you and why they love having your good heart and supersensitive brain around. And that's also why Reese Witherspoon would be a box-office hit in the movie of your life.

nagbreak lang ako. promise! hehe.

wake up!

hindi ko alam kung ano ang nagtrigger sa akin pero lately im in my thinking mode again. suddenly, im thinking of quitting choir, of reassessing my priorities and goals in life, etc. serious stuff. long story. basta napapaisip ako about family. and how i should be spending my time with the people i love.

syet. mamamatay na ba ako?

wala lang. weird. basta. tapos kapag may disagreements or something, lately parang napapansin ko na mas mapagbigay ako. ewan ko ba. signs of maturity? basta weird. i hope everything will be clearer these coming days.

oh, napansin ko rin, nagiging lax na naman ako. parang nung start ng year, super excited ako sa mga mangyayari at mga gusto kong gawin for year 2006. pero ngayon, parang wala pa akong developments.

hey cla! this is your wake up call! rise and shine! this time, be more consistent.

break muna

work! work! work!

ang hirap talaga ng maraming trabaho. hindi mo alam kung kasama pa ba sa job description mo ang pinapagawa sa iyo. paano, ang daya naman sa mga kontrata na iyan e. may nakalagay palagi na "and performs other tasks assigned". napaka-vague kaya nun! pwedeng magtake ng advantage ang kung sino man.

buti na lang "rest" tom to saturday kasi may workshop. yipee! tagaytay highlands here we come! kaso parang hindi rin rest kasi magpreprepare kami for our mock presentation for next week. tapos may dala-dala pa kaming pricelist chuvaloo in case may mga mangailangan ng quotation. hay. pumunta ka nga sa bakasyunan, hindi ka naman nagbakasyon. anu ba yun?!

tapos mamimiss ko pa si babuy :(

can't wait to get back! (hindi pa nga nakakaalis e) sana magising ako ng maaga bukas at hindi maiwanan ng sasakyan. hehe.
