... Hello? Hello! Hello. ...

wala lang...

+ Like any other day, I answered the phone politely and said, "Company Name, Good afternoon..." The caller answered (in the chirpiest voice ever...), "Hi, good afternoon, this is Michelle from Company, sorry I dialled the wrong number! (I swear she must've been smiling as well) Goodbye!" BOING!!! HUH???? I was flummoxed... Had to give it to her for being so perky though.

+ I find it amazing that when users call to request for something, they have this tendency to assume that we would know what it is exactly that's on their mind... Details please? I didn't know mental telepathy was a requirement for my job... Hmmm...

+ This actually happened to a friend of mine some time ago... She called Globe to confirm if her global roaming was already activated in time for her Euro trip. The guy who answered sounded queer AND bitchy & goes, "INTERNATIONAL roaming you mean?" My friend was stumped, even incredulous, because she didn't know there was a difference between global & international roaming services - perhaps they also offer inter-galactic as well! By golly... But anyway, bitchy gay guy confirms that the service has been activated and even offered to inform my friend about the rates for France (take note that my friend did not ask for this info, and we do not know why he picked France). But my friend in turn informed him that she'll be visiting several countries & she has enumerated them in the application form... He asked for the countries, and he cut my friend when she mentioned Amsterdam and he goes, "Oh Amsterdam! Where's that... Oh Turkey. Hold on let me check..." BOING!!! Kakaloka...

... nonsensical baubles ...

+ I just realized that I just acquired 3 pairs of shoes just for the month of May... a black closed-toe wedge espadrilles, a turquoise & black knot (open toe) wedge espadrilles, & a black ballerina-like / grecian-like ribboned WEDGE shoe(from I AM)... I guess you could say I'm in the mood for WEDGEs. :-)

+ To Bling or not Bling my gasgas phone? Hmm...

+ I bought my first set of boxing gloves the other day. Yes, I'm serious this time. Color? - Fire engine red! Bought them at Rockwell before going on graveyard shift... The sales lady gave me TWO sets of gloves, when I only paid for just a pair... I didn't realize that this was the case until I was already here in the office! Kakatamad kaya bumalik... So now, until I get the chance to return it, I have two pairs of boxing gloves... *phooey*

+ Finally found a pair of brown metallic Havaianas! I was so happy when I found a pair in my size... *babaw* I've looked all over for it! *SMILE* Apparently there's a new term now for this brand of flipflops, it's now called Havs among the young crowd. HAVS??? I hate it when they shorten names like that... Imagine hearing, "I'll be wearing my black havs tomorrow, how about you?" Like fer sherr... Wtf? I seriously can't stand it. Similar to Bora for Boracay. It's just one more syllable, surely it won't kill to say it. It irks me when I hear "Bora" + that conyo ewan twang. Whatev! Grrr... harhar :-)

+ I'm in love... I'm in love & lovin it... I'm hooked! Can't seem to get it out of my system... It's too sinful really but I can't help myself... I just gotta have it... Mrs Fields Double Dutch Brownie bar, or was it Rocky Road? Basta, it's sooo sinfully good. Coming in at second place at the moment is Beard Papa's cream puffs.. Yummylicious! Ahlavet! Now if only men were as easy to fall in love with like chocolates & Cream puffs... :-)

... boxing, & etc ...

+ Let's BOX! :) Just had my 3rd boxing session today. Boy do I hurt all over! But it's all good... No pain, no gain as they say right? I have to jog soon, just to loosen up the muscles and increase the resistance... I miss doing cardio.. Naks! I'm no longer enrolled in any gym so gotta find more ways to entertain myself. *hehe* Gym just wasn't doing "it" for me anymore... Got too lazy of the monotonous work out with the various contraptions that were all too familiarly boring... So it was a good thing Elorde opened up a branch nearby - boxing it is! Talk about sweating it all out man... Pwede mo nang pigain shirt ko after a session - dri-fit Nike na daw yun ha! Ahlavet! :)

+ I have to stop this nonsense man... Bloody hell... Pull yourself together... Damnit... Crazy fool... Come on... Focus! No. No. NO.

+ 'Heard the new Paris Hilton song? Stars are blind... It's quite catchy actually... But the idea of Paris Hilton singing... Not to mention her doing the video... Ok, I'm ambivalent towards the whole thing... *hehe*
> Even though the gods are crazy... Even though the stars are blind... *LOL*

+ I'm lovin the song & video Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado & Timabaland... Luv it! Makes me reminisce about the bubble sessions that we used to have every weekend in Georgetown... *grin* Those were The Days... Miss them... They definitely don't dance the way we used to dance back in those days... *hehe*

... Avecilla - Bueser Nuptials ...

>o< Best wishes to my dear friend Azenneth who got married over the weekend! >o<

(with Melissa, Brian, Azenneth (d bride), & Moi)

She's my best girl friend from grade school... She and I have had a love-hate relationship... As Paul would say it, we grow better with time... I remember hating her when she first entered Montessori back in 3rd Grade. I didn't like her because, well, I just didn't - and being the bully that I was back then, so did everybody else of course! But Azenneth was a tough cookie... When I actually got to talk with her, we clicked & became good friends, and then we were the inseperable tandem. And then something happened, nag-inarte na kame, some say it was Brian (come on! haha), and we stopped talking to each other...
(hehe) Ten years passed (yes 10!), and we saw each other again at a school reunion and it was as if the 10 years didn't happen. They say forgive & forget, but in our case, we've simply forgotten about what it was that we were supposed to be angry with or forgive about!!! All we could remember were the good times that we had, and that in the end is what matters... Funny how we used to attend each other's bday parties, and now I''ve attended her wedding party & was even part of the entourage... *teary eyed*
It was a lovely wedding... Beautiful church... The bride was simply fabulous... Nice...
I'm happy for her & Andrew, & their baby boy Ashton. I'm glad that she has met & found someone that can finally hold her down! And I mean that in a good way. Love yah Tetet!!! Cheers for the Good times! And 'hope I'll still be part of the entourage on your golden anniversary! Mmwah!

And now, let me be in a "i-think-i-wanna-have-a-boyfriend-coz-i-don't-want-to-be-an-old-maid" mood please... harhar

... The Omen ...

+ Watched "The Omen" with the boys + biatch last night. Nobody didn't want to sit next to me for fear of getting whacked, or having their ear drums broken, or getting food & drinks all over them. *grin*
I sometimes have this reflex action to strike the person next to me when I'm startled, they usually just get in the way when my hand shoots up - Oops. Nothing personal really. And I sometimes squeak - ok I scream quite out loud when surprised... And I also tend to throw whatever it is I have in my hands when stunned. So given the fact that I had a jumbo strawberry kiwi daquiri in hand - well, it wasn't a good omen.. In the end I was seated in between two scaredy boys, most likely they were feeling so because they were in Lacoste & not about the movie! *hehe*

+ The movie was fairly ok, a bit boring & maybe even a bit drawn out if you expected more considering it's hype - 060606=666... anti-christ and all things evil... It had a bit of startling points for me but not as much as I expected. I only had one spilt moment, two whackings, and about 2 minute screams! Ha! So it was just ok... Our post mortem of the movie didn't do so well either.
Dapat ganito ganito yung nangyari... Dapat ginawa niya ganito... Di dapat ganun, ganito na lang sana... Kung ginawa nila yun, ganito sana! Haay... Wala nang series kung kami nasunod di ba?!

Haaay...
