happy birthday chiekay!

it's been a while since we last had one of our pinoy parties so we were all very happy to get drunk and get loud at chie's, er, 18th birthday party.



cherry and melendres set up a bar called Section 131 which ripped everyone off $5 per drink because they served two straws per glass!!! kidding :-) each drink did have 2 straws though.



here's paulo with the girls. hmm. looked like he didn't like them hehe.

on my iPhone!!! hooray!!!

no one has the right to do this

amigas, pagpasensyahan nyo na, pero makikisawsaw ako dito sa chismis na to. can't help it. hehe.

this i got from chuvaness' blog:

Last March 13, 2009—or Friday the 13th—we went with our Tatay Rey (who just arrived from Abu Dhabi as OFW a day before) to Duty Free Philippines Fiesta Mall in Parañaque to shop and point. Or we point and he’ll buy…hehehe:)

While waiting in line at the cashiers to pay our goodies…we saw a customer at the top of his voice berating the cashiers and managers of Duty Free... From what my sister told me, it was about a credit card purchase that the cashier was kindly asking for the irate customer's ID to vouch for the legit owner of the credit card which was also “unsigned”—a normal operating procedure to avoid misuse.

He might have thought a celebrated person like he is with all his accolades and fame had gone unrecognized by this cashier person who was doing the job he was trained to do. Tsk tsk tsk…

While Store Managers and officers were sought to appease the matter, explaining to him that it is standard operating procedure in credit card safety, not only for the company but also his own.

Ignoring this, he pulled out his phone and threatened to call high positioned people whom he allegedly knew, to make these people realize how important he is.. he went on using words like “LECHE KAYO, DI NYO KO KILALA? AKO SI BOYET FAJARDO! AT ITONG P..I.. NA BABAENG ITO, (pointing to a lady officer) AT ANG BAKLANG ITO (pointing to the cashier) AY WALANG KWENTANG MGA TAO! I WANT THEM FIRED!!!

His yelling and berating went on and on, he could not calm down and went on to say, that only if the cashier would kneel down before him and/or allow him to freely slap the persons face, would he get satisfied.

AND, you know what happened next...the poor cashier simply gave in, crying in shame. He knelt down and apologized before this self proclaimed GOD…

hay. i don't want to criticize the pinoy elitistas because i know some of them are nice. but this brings pinoy classism to a new level! kainez!

nood na!!! baka mawala ulit!

OMG. OMG.

para kay herbie

I sit and wait
does an angel contemplate my fate
and do they know
the places where we go
when we're grey and old
'cos I've been told
that salvation lets their wings unfold
so when I'm lying in my bed
thoughts running through my head
and I feel that love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

and through it all he offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call he wont forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

when I'm feeling weak
and my pain walks down a one way street
I look above
and I know I'll always be blessed with love
and as the feeling grows
he breathes flesh to my bones
and when love is dead
I'm loving angels instead

and through it all he offers me protection
a lot of love and affection
whether I'm right or wrong
and down the waterfall
wherever it may take me
I know that life wont break me
when I come to call he wont forsake me
I'm loving angels instead

dreams

I was supposed to take a 30-minute nap yesterday afternoon and then go to the supermarket, but I was so tired I ended up sleeping for 3 hours. I had one of my best dreams yet, one that’s worthy of a sci-fi flick. It started off very confusing but got very, er, entertaining as it progressed. I don’t remember most of it now, but I do remember:

1. that the main characters were me, my husband, J (my Pisay mega-crush), and J’s wife (I have not met his wife in real life and therefore have no idea what she looks like)
2. that it was a cross between Harry Potter and the Time-Turner and DeJavu (Denzel Washington) - weird things happened in the beginning that were explained as the future unfolded
3. that I saved the world (or at least someone’s world) from total destruction
4. best of all, that I could fly
   

Don’t try to get your head around it, it’s a sci-FI dream.

geek.me.

Thinking of ways to improve the working relationship among the members of our team, our then-new team leader decided to add a "question of the week" in our regular meetings, in which we are all required to answer the questions however silly they might be. I do admit that I find the questions (and the answers!) enjoyable. We've shared what superpower we'd like to have, which celebrity we'd like to date, which three movies we liked a lot, even the kitchen item we would consider ourselves to be.

Last week's question was "If given a complete freedom to start afresh, what profession would you choose and why?" A lot on interesting answers: chef slash food critic, doctor, winery owner, painter, cash registrar, and a fashion designer (from a totally-non-gay-and-married guy). My answer: professional hip-hop dancer.

That resulted to a wistful discussion with my "painter" friend. She told me she attended painting classes every summer when she was a kid. She also took ballet classes and piano lessons. And that got me thinking how much of a loser-nerdox I was growing up.

I did take a few weeks of ballet and piano classes, but I know I preferred playing un-lady-like games with my cousins. And when I graduated from grade school, every summer then on was spent taking advanced Math and Science classes. In college, I spent every summer taking Math units. Loser!!!

How I wish I took dance lessons and tennis lessons and swimming lessons and voice lessons. The list goes on and on. Sigh.

Ally Mcbeal rocks!

The series is more than ten years old but I watch it in awe. I'm still on the 19th episode of the first season but I've already seen Liz, Taylor and Ms. Patty from Gilmore Girls, Preston Burke from Grey's Anatomy, Capt. Brass from CSI, and the whole bunch from The Practice. I am starstruck. Haha.
