Bagong Model ng Sbarro

Last Friday was Paulo’s (my officemate and start group in Accenture) birthday.  Papa Pau, as we call him, is my wrestling and cell phone guru.  He is my kakwentuhan sa wrestling here in our office since I think only the two of us in our team enjoys following the drama and storyline of WWE.  He also knows every cell phone brand and feature there is.  He also knows how to work around any cell phone unit.  Pwede itong magtinda ng cellphone sa greenhills.  Hehehe…  He also gives me supplies of cell phone games.  Anyway, our team surprised Pau with a red ribbon cake, bamboo 1^st album cd, balloons, and a card.  As usual, we sung a happy birthday song na hindi sabay-sabay, paputol-putol, at hindi nakocomplete ang song.  Hehehe… Papa Pau then treated the team to a Sbarro Chicago Deep pizza.  Grabe… It was my first time to eat that pizza and sobrang nakakabusog… Pero syempre kayang-kaya ko parin ubusin… Hehehe…

Malas... Since there were 4 of us in Fraser, namely Allan, Aldrin, Nanah, and I and only 3 free breakfasts are available.  Aldrin, Nanah, and I decided to have a draw lots to determine who among us won't avail the free breakfast.  A smiling face means you would eat breakfast and a sad face means you won't.  At sa kamalas-malasan ko... I picked the sad face twice in a row (Wednesday and Thursday nights).  Whatttttt... And we only did this twice... Waaaaaaahhhhh... Kaya bad trip... 2 consecutive days ako na walang buffet breakfast... Grrrrrrrrr... Dinaya ako nung dalawa... hehehe... Pero oks lang... Pampapayat naman... Sana tunaba kayong dalawa... Sana lumobo kayo at maging balyena… hehehe... May sama ng loob e noh... Hehehe...

Last Tuesday, our team had our September teambuilding, the much postponed thanksgiving of the new promotes, and the despedida party for Oscar.  The night started with a dinner at Brazil-Brazil in Rockwell.  The buffet costs P595 plus 10% service charge per person.  Whoah... Medyo mahal... Pero oks lang... basta buffet yari sakin yan... hehehe... Anyway, the food was ok.  I liked the lamb ala kare-kare style and the fish fillet.  The style of Brazil-Brazil is having a yoyo (green at 1 side and red at 1 side) at the table.  When the yoyo is on the green side, the waiters would bring food on your table while the red side indicates the opposite.  The foods that where being delivered are mostly grilled and roasted like chicken barbeque, pork loin, spare ribs, beef brisket, sausage, corn, pineapple, banana, pork ewans and beef ewans.  As usual busog to the max ako... hehehe... kain-kain... kwento-kwento... then I asked the waiter if I could take the yoyo home and he nodded yes.  yahooo.... may souvenir nanaman... hehehe... then Aldrin, Leya, Erwin, Karren, and Evelyn also asked for one.  Ubos ang yoyo... hehehe... After our dinner, we went straight to Frasers para magkantahan gamit ang magic sing ni Oscar.  Tama na yan... kantahan... What’s videoke without drinks... Oscar bought Cuervo Tequila, Smirnoff Vodka, SanMig Light, and various chips which he paid for by the way.  Galante pa... hehehe... Kaya yun kanta-kanta... shot-shot... at calamansi ang proxy ng lemon... jologs... hehehe... Allan started the singing with 4 or 5 songs in a span of 7 songs.  Monopoly... hehehe... At around 1 am, only Erwin, Karren, Oscar, Nanah, and I were left standing and singing... Allan and Lalaine already went on their rooms while Aldrin and Leya already went home.  We finished singing at around 3:30am.  Too bad we still have to follow JPMC 9 am campaign.  Waaaahhhhhhhh... Lahat kami may headache pumasok sa office... hehehe...

P.S. Ayossshhh... hindi ko kinailangan magedit ng pictures... hehehe... =p

I’ve been living at an apartment for almost 2 weeks now and I come to realize that I miss a lot of things from home.  These are things I normally don’t appreciate but I’m craving for them right now.

• I miss my mom’s cooking
• I miss our maid’s cooking (kahit hindi masarap)
• I miss my dad praying over me before I go to office
• I miss my mom reminding me of things that I might forget before going to office
• I miss my mom folding the sleeves of my long-sleeved polo
• I miss hitching at my brother’s car
• I miss commuting
• I miss sleeping at the FX
• I miss my room
• I miss my bed
• I miss my Spiderman pillow
• I miss my 2 basketball balls
• I miss my playstation
• I miss my TV
• I miss my sofa
• I miss my mirror
• I miss my CR
• I miss my home

P.S.  Kaykay, salamax nga pala sa picnic

Mid-Shift

Hayyy… Mid-shift ako buong linggo ngayon…  From Monday (Sep 19) to Friday (Sep 23)… Pero oks lang kasi may apartel (apartment-hotel) naman kami kaya hindi ko kailangan umuwi ng madaling araw.  Pero kung tutuusin maganda na rin ang mid-shift para sakin kasi in ordinary days mga 12 na rin nanaman ako natutulog e.  Atleast pag mid-shift ako hindi ko kailangan pumasok ng 9 am sa office.  Mas mahaba ang tulog ko.  Masaya naman ang midshift dahil walang mga issue at marami akong kasama kasi yung iba kong teammate nagOOT para sa release naming sa Monday (Sep 26).

Fraser

Because of our hectic schedule for v17, our team got an apartment-hotel at Fraser for 2 weeks.  It is just a 5-10 minutes walk from our office.  Siyempre susulitin ko… kaya Monday pa lang ay nagdala na ko ng damit ko to stay at Fraser.  I plan to stay there from Monday to Saturday and go home on Sunday and stay there again from Monday to Saturday.  Last Monday and Tuesday, tatlo lang kami na nagstay don.  Allan, Nanah, and Me… This Wednesday, apat na kami sumama si Oscar… Sa Thursday baka madagdagan pa… So far enjoy naman ang stay ko dun… Syempre kasi buffet breakfast… Pagkain lang naman masaya na ko e… hehehe… Tig-iisa pa kami ng kama kaya ok… I plan to swim and use the gym facilities at the hotel starting Thursday.  Syempre kalian sulitin… At Syempre may mga souvenir na ko na tinago… hehehe…

SFC Evangelization

Last Sunday, our chapter (East A1-B) started our evangelization at the Village East Subdivision which is the mother subdivision of our chapter.  Grabe nakakapagod… We started at 8am.  We attended the mass and asked the permission of the parish priest to allow us to use the village east church for our Christian Life Program, a 13 Saturdays – 2 hours session.  One should complete these sessions in order to be baptized as Singles for Christ member.  Anyway, after talking to the parish priest, we posted our large invitation poster at the entrance of the church.  After the 11am mass, we gave away leaflets to the mass goers.  We then went to the house of Ate Dedeth and had a calling barrage by calling the Youth for Christ members and sons and daughters of the Couples for Christ members who are already 18 years old and above.  After calling them, we had a house-to-house wherein we went to every house of all the potential participants that we called earlier para conbinsahin lalo sila na umattend ng CLP… hehehe… Most of them ay nagulat sa pag punta namin sa houses nila… May mga magagandang potential participants… yahooooo… hehehe… After ng house-to-house namin nag post na kami ng mga posters sa mga poste at tindahan sa village east.  After naming magpost sakto 8pm mass na kaya sa a finale namigay kami ng leaflets ulit sa mga mass goers after ng mass.  Hayyyy… grabe nakakapagod talaga… whole day evangelization… Pero oks lang… All for God naman e… hehehe…

Inspired by Allan’s 10 things that i hate entry in his blog site

1) I hate people who are “Plastic.”  Orocan as I call them.  I really despise people who are only good to you or say good things about you when they are with you or when they know you could hear what they are saying.  But once you turn your back and you’re not in sight, these people back stab you.  They express their concealed sentiments against you to other people and sometimes make up harmful things against you.  Damn this people.  If you have any bad feelings against me, say it to my face.  I can handle it and most likely I don’t like you too.  Hehehe…

2) I hate guys who are “Mapapel”, “Epal”, and “Maangas.”  Maybe it’s a guy thing but I really hate this type of crowd.  Whenever I come across guys na ang angas makatingin at ang angas makaasta tapos napakamapapel pa… Sarap barahin… Sarap sabihang “weeeeeeehhhhhhh!!!”… O kaya “Di nga?!?”… O kaya “Ulol!!!”…

3) I hate girls who smoke.  Yosi Girl as I call them.  Actually, it is not that I hate them but I just don’t like them.  I have this philosophy that a girl who is that liberated to smoke is also that liberated to give away her virginity.  I view yosi girls as a divirginized bitches.  That’s why I never go for yosi girls.  Sayang... Karamihan pa naman sa kanila ay magaganda at malulufet ang hubog ng katawan… Hehehe…

4) I hate it when people get the better of me.  Ayaw na ayaw ko ang naiisahan ako o nauutakan ako ng kahit sino.  I prefer being the one who gets the better of other people.  In any exchange, may it be food, chores, shopping, work, money, or any activity; if it is not equally portioned or equally traded, I always want to get the better piece.  Magulang ata itong batang ito… hehehe…  Of course excluding those that involves less fortunate individuals.

5) I hate beer.   I really don’t like the taste of beer even the light ones.  It’s bitter.  I don’t know what’s with beer that most guys get addicted to.  I prefer to drink hard alcohols compared to beer since the taste is much much much better and it is easier to drink since it is in a shot glass and it has chaser.  Hehehe…  I’m not a drinking person so though I prefer hard alcohols compared to beers, I still would chose not drinking at all if I had a choice.

6) I hate people who spits to the streets.  Damn this people.  This type of people roams freely to the metro.  Most of them are squatters and jologs who weren’t thought of proper etiquette.  Whenever I see an act like this parang ang sarap batukan nung dumura.  Grrrrrrrr… Kadiri ka ah… Lunukin mo na lang yan para wala nang ibang madamay…  I wish our country would also implement the laws on spitting and littering just like in Singapore para matigil na itong mga kadiring tao na ito.

7) I hate commuting when it’s raining.  When it’s raining, I have to bring my rain gear, namely my jacket and large umbrella (I don’t like the small folding umbrellas because if the rain and wind is very strong I still get wet).  In addition, I hate it when I’m in my office attire and walks on wet streets with lots of stagnant waters.  I have to walk very slowly so that the water won’t squirt to my shoes and pants.  Bad trip ba pag yung ulan ay pagilid ang patak... yung may malakas na hangin... kahit anong payong mo basa ka pa rin... grrrrrr...

8) I hate it when I'm seating besides a fat person at the back of an FX.  Grabe kainis pagsobrang taba nung katabi mo sa FX.  Yung tipong hindi ka na makagalaw.  This usually happens to me.  When riding an FX I usually sit at the back and in our FX terminal there is this fat girl who is more than twice my size who also sits at the back.  Grabe… Unfortunately, I think there had been more than 5 instances wherein she seated beside me.  Kainis literally hindi talaga ako makagalaw.  Dinadaan ko na lang sa tulog para hindi ko maramdaman ang sikip.  Tapos kainis pa pagmahina ang aircon ng FX.   Lahat ng lamig napupunta pa sa kanya kasi hinihigop ng fats nya.  Dapat double na lang bayaran niya para hindi siya nakakaperwisyo.  Hehehe… Sama ng ugali ko…

9) I hate eating spicy foods.  Since childhood, I never liked eating spicy foods unlike my parents and brother.  So sometimes when my mom would cook a spicy dish, she would first separate a portion for me before she would put the spicy ingredients.  I don’t know why but ever since I never liked spicy foods.  The only spicy food I really liked was the Bicol Express.  Grabe ang sarap pero putcha sobrang anghang… Pero dahil masarap siya tinitiis ko na lang ang anghang niya… Dinadaan ko na lang sa isang pitchel ng tubig… Isang subo… Isang basong tubig… Hehehe…

10) I hate failing.  I’m never accustomed to failure.  I always give my best to excel in everything so when I fail, it hurts me a lot.  Sometimes because of my fear of failure, I tend not to go through with some things with uncertain results.  Siguristang Perfectionist ata ito… Hehehe…

Wowwwww… Our new support phone arrived today.  It was a brand new Nokia 3230.  It was a major upgrade from our previous support phone of Nokia 3530.  Daming features ng bago naming support phone.  Grabe…  Mas maganda pa ang support phone sa cell phone ko…  hehehe…  Sige na itatop score ko pa ang mga games dito… hehehe…
