the DAY that never was

September 9

The DAY.



Mga tsong, hindi ko akalain na darating yung araw na ito, ang araw kung saan may sasabog na kung ano mula sa kawalan!  Kakawala ng hangover, daig ko pa ang naligo ng isang baldeng ice cubes mula sa pinakamalapit na 7-11 nung marinig ko ang balita: si Tibors sweet escape na! Etong nangyare:



That day started just like the other days  sa opisina ni Big Brother.  Jam packed ang lahat ng conference room at ang daming tao parang lahat ata ng tao sa kumpanya eh nagkumpulan sa HQ sa kadahilanang alam ko pero hindi pwedeng i-blog (insert frame: Confidentiality Agreement)!  So there I was, having some conversation with Employee #3 about the development ng mga “subjects” na dumadami na at an alarming rate!  Maraming magaganap na sa mga darating na araw…hmm crispy parang gusto ko hilahin ang araw para masaksihan lahat (insert frame: Me wearing red stilettos) in full colors!



And that day went by so quickly as I joggle myself from meeting to meeting, leaving me my first 30-minute of the day na walang ka-meeting pero may kausap na supplier sa telepono (beat that!).  Opposite to where the phone is located is the meeting room where Tibors and other people were seriously having their mindboggling meeting na buong hapon na ata tumatakbo, aba naka-ilan na ako sila isa pa lang, talk about fairness right? So ayun, hindi ko muna pinansin ang mga kaganapan dahil mukang peaceful naman, nang biglang lumabas si Tibors at nagpunta sa sumbungan ng mga inaapi (ang HR) na sa tingin ko from that time eh wala naman kakaibang nangyayari kasi OK sila:



(pagbaba ng phone)

Tibors: nagresign na ako

Me: weh??!! (insert frame: expression ni Eugene Domingo in KimyDora)

Tibors: Oo nga dude nagresign na ako!

Me: tangina naman inunahan mo ko! Diba usapan Sept 30!

N & N: TAMBLING!



So bigla tuloy ako nagmadali to get my stuff na nagkalat sa lamesa, hayaan na yung ensaymada, yung Pepsi at yung nilagang mais na hindi ko man lang nakain eh umaga pa present yun sa table ko kahalo ng lahat ng papeles na dapat tignan, pirmahan, i-approve at itapon – mas mahalaga na ma-update ako sa mga kaganapan! Fly away from the opisina ni Big Brother at napadpad kame sa may Katipunan area dun na bumuhos lahat lahat ng latest scoops in and out of star circle management at ang isang realization na hindi dapat magresign si Tibors! Langya naman oh, kahit laseng na ako nung mga panahon na yun naiisip ko pa din yung tambak ng trabaho na iiwan nya pagnagkataon!



Naguwian ang luminaries ng industriya mga bandang ala-una ng medaling araw, humupa na ang tension, malagihay na ang mga hasang ng magkakaharap at sana next week may mga bagong opisina na matagpuan! Activate na! Hik



Cheers!

a bottle or twice?

Aug 17

It was another busy day at work when Tibors (my officemate) sent me an sms in the middle of a heated discussion on the strategies for next year. The sms went "dud, a bottle or twice tayo mamaya?"  I can't help but to burst in laughter since the sms' intention was to ask me "a bottle or two after work?". Sobrang tawa ako ng tawa to the point na I have to step out of the boardroom and laugh out loud.  

After work, we decided to head to our friendly tambayan / inuman just few minutes drive from the office. To our surprise, the "used" to be tambayan place is now a gurly bar under new management. Immediately we decided to hit the opposite bar where I got drunk in one party.  And so we sat there, two dysfunctional Pinoy/Pinay sharing a bucket of our loved Gilbey's Premium Strength (GPS). A lot of exchanges were made during that night and we bid our goodbyes after consuming two bottles of GPS.

I took the normal route that I am taking, speeding at around 60kph until a truck which was on my right made a swift cut to where I am...the rest is history, my laptop's gone and my car's a wreck

Don't get me wrong, I drank during that night but am not drunk.

Cheers! hik!

simula ng inuman


Finally, after so long I decided to put up my own blog site and be part of the hay-wired blogosphere.  Thank you so much for the inspiration of few blogs that I’ve been following for quite some time now.  
This blog will be the other side of me which I think is relatively cliché in this world.  I want this blog to present the not so familiar personality hidden in me, far from the day-in-day-out me.
Tagay!
