Kapoy, Laay, Bugnaw Na Akong Kape

Oh! It's been a long time since the last time I made a post. I kept my other blog updated though and the server is so slow especially when I opened Blogger (hmmm, just wondering) while with Blogdrive, it would open in just a flash!

Significantly Different, is updated almost everyday and it's faster to connect with it. OKies. Got no boss today and I'm so sleepy and don't wanna get up. My coffee is already cold and I haven't done anything of signifcance here in the office. 1 hour and 30 minitues had passed... I should check my boss' office..

Ang Makimi

Gisaway nako ang siomai sa Manila Restaurant gahapon! Well, it's true man sad gyud nga walay lami angi lang siomai kay murag bato! Dry and tasteless! But in fairness, lami kaayo ang makimi nila, pwedep ud parisan og rice kung carbo ang imong tripping but wala na lang ko magEffort gahapon sa rice kay I had a full tummy na coz I had a full breakfast with Almira, Marni & Marvin hours before we went to church.

Sa dihang 10am ang mass ug migikan napud mig hapit nah 10am! Hmm well, nakaabot mi sa homily. And even if it was too hot, the air seems to be very generous so the heat wasn't really that disturbing. When the offering satrted, grabeee, daghnagnadawat sa mga pari oi! HEheheheeh bitaw, priests are really rich especially when its Fiesta!

After the mass, with the Boss and Sir MIlton , we went to the rector's office coz the boss is donating donuts. We talked to Miss Mary (a fat midle-aged lady with a hoarse voice). After the donut talks, niPropose dayon si Boss sa iyang hidden agenda! Wahehehehe Fine! SO expect na lang ta nah Dragon Fireworks an ang magpabuto next year sa Sto. Niño!

Gibiyann gayo namo si Boss.. together with the HR and Sir John Prats, we went to Manila Restaurant. For that! Lami kaayo ang Makimi! Tsulp! With chili sauce dayon... busog!
And yeah nagkagubot nako gamay sa akong mga postings kay pirte na gyud kadaghan sa akong blog nga giUpdate! Waheheheheh Lingaw ning livejournal parehas sa akong blogdrive and blogspot.

Happy SINULOG!

Rolling For the Next Months

Samuka na oi! daghan na kaayog nakahibalo ani nga post! Sekreto ra man unta ni oi para bibo! Wahehehehe Anyways, samuk pud kaayo kay wala ang among telephone operator (late--ambot lang ngano) for that kay sa akong line mahansuok tanan! Pwede? Gimme' a break! I hate phone calls!
And i hear the phone ringing again! Whew! Saputon ko!

I still wanna sleep but what else could I do I have to kick myself up! Time to work again but at least it's already Thursday and Sunday is just a 2 dream night aways.

Hmmm yesterday, I spent half of the day seatin down again for the manager's meeting. My batchmates did not attend! Hah! I mean Almira, Kathrina and John Prats made the perfect excuses to skip Tita's lashes! Smile! What a pretty day! ANd the meeting starts to roll! As always, I dread of hearing that stupid question, "Asa man ta mangaon?" I replied barely moving my gaze to the speaker, "Dimsum, Ayala."

So where it's gonna be? Until we reached the parking lot, they were still acting so stupid! Fine, ana lang jud na sila! They're special adults!!!

Today is going to be another battle of phonecalls and dusty files to be arranged! Hail to the filing cabinet! Wala man gud silay budget mao nga sila rapud ang mag-antos! Waheheheheh Tawa na lang ta ani nila! There are a lot of things to arrange.. and hopefully.. I could finish this before I expire!

Be strong!

Message Para Sa Mga Babae

Here's a message I received from Teptep over at Friendster. Well, lingaw ni siya basahon if high school pa ko kay maka-relate pa man ko.... (LOL) But now that I'm beyond twenty kay murag lahi naman sad ang ways or relating from a man to a woman... Well, read on! Many of it are true way back those younger years.. hahahaha and it reminds me of those funny memories!

2. Mangutana gani mi kung kanus-a imong RD ug kung abelabol ba ka ana, kana nagpasabot kung pwede ba ka ma detdet (DATE ba sa ininggles)...ayaw sa mi baraha kay magutana lagi mi nimu ug strait...amo lang gityming-tyming kay mauwawon man sab tawn mi mga kwanggolon...

3. Kung nakabantay na ka nga nagsige na mi ug sunod-sunod nimo, maka-baynte na mi ug grit nimo gud morning, or ikaw na lang pirmi tagdon, makig dungan ug uli bisan nort ug sawt, langit ug lupa ang gilay-on sa atong balay wid matching "Ako lang dala sa imo tings beh!", kana ganahan jud mi nimo... Pero sa pirmi natong kinuyog ug detdet (DATE sa ininggles pa), ayaw sad pangutana ug dali-dali "Wat r we?" or sa binisaya pa, "Unsa man jud diay ta?"...Inahak, makulbaan sad mi gamay...we also feel a bit presyur... Kalma lang gud...musulti lagi mi in dyu taym.

4. Kung kahibaw na jud ka nga ganahan mi nimo kay nisulti na man jud mi (hala ka!) Ayaw sad sige hisgot sa imo Ex-boypren oi...its hurt man sad...not unlis kung nisturya ka sa panahong gigukod siya sa inyong IRO nga nisutoy siya ug dagan kay por syur I will lap wid u.

5. Hangyo lang sad, kung nakakita ka sa imong crush o di ba kaha nakakita ka ug laki nga purting gwapoha, ayaw sad panguhit namo, "Gwapo kay siya noh?" Hala plis! Laki intawn mi ug dili pud mi kiligon sa imong crush... Masuko ra ba mo mu comentaryo mi, "Gwapo pa man akong lolo ana!"

6. Sa panahon nga mag-date na tah, por syur kami man jud gasto, be konsyus wid yor dayet ha para konsyus pud mi sa among bulsa...kung kada adlaw na ta date ug nakabantay mo nga chippy ug tubig na lang among gi-order, KKB na ta ha...salamat sa pagsabot.

I'm Seeing Sleepy People

The ASEAN Summit has completely ruined my day and the succeding days!

Starting today, I have to wake up at 530 and/or earlier coz our time in is at 7am in the office! Terrible! We are not directly affected by this ceremonial routes, road closures and all but we need to adjust because traffic daw and ang mga tawo leaving far from the city might not make it on time in the office! Waahhh! Why do we all need to suffer waking up that very early!?

For me, the organizers had been acting insanely and politicians have been jumping over this matter. How I wish Cebu wouldn't host another event like this! I don't see it as an oppurtunity to boost our tourism in fact it's ruining it!

2007 is Here!

Finally, my first post for 2007... I was supposed to post something for the past two days but the connection is very slow that I could not get through this site. Anyways, the first days of the year has been kind to me.
January 1, I woke up around 10am hearing Jash's laughter. We again watched ONE PIECE finishing the Sky Island Episode. We finished the last DVD Yotchie had lent to us. At least we finished the fight of the Rubber versus Lightning. Later that afternoon, despite the threat of rain, Jash and Me went with Mama to the church. Of course demanding kaayo si Jash... hahahahaha but I really managed to finish the mass running after Jssh outside, buying him hotdog, popcorn, shake and those plastic toys. Whew! And of course it is a must to be in Jollibee so there we go!
January 2, Back to work again! And i thank God that He made me even stronger than before. That I could survive until May working with creepy people. Hehehehehe Bitaw, seriously, I feel like my boss does not want me to quit here... I just really have this feeling that I won't be having a graceful exit. Come what may... plans are plans...
January 3, (My Post Over at my Blogdrive) woke up happily coz the boss is away although it's just for today but at least I do not need to endure the day seeing his goatie face!

Jash was so cute last night! I brought this little box of chocolate from BGF No. 2 and when I opened it Jash's reaction was worth freezing ( Oh! how i wish I could took a photo of that moment, uhmm... a video would be nice).

Hmmm... the internet connection is still not doing well coz I could not update my blog in blogspot... at least I have this account in blogdrive. I am just arranging some of the receipts for reimbursements and waiting for 5pm coz I am really determined to go home.
Uhumnnn samokan lang ko anang family matters... they're really sores coz they kept on bugging me... samoka oi! Can't they do things on their own?

Anyways, the Gesalem Ads is planning to have a night away at Kawasan this January 13 till 14.. we would be leaving after work so gabii nami maabot their! And I really want Yotchie to go with me... well, hopefully mukuyog cya.. and nagPlan ko na magTent lang mi para bibo.. ahaahahaha

Till here lang sa...
January 4, I spent the whole day seating down in the conference room listening over Updates and it really drained my energy! As in! labad kaayo akong ulo! Huh! As in! Stiff na kaayo ako feeling and my back super aches... and of course... since last night kay gi-away man ko ni Yotchie, I was really really restraining my self not to text him but then again. I could not afford not to call nor text him.. cge na lang gud...

Back to the meeting. their was a discussion over Ayala Center on whther to close down the outlet or not.. as in! labad na kaayo sa ulo ang ilang debate.. it's like chicken and egg... near vomitting nako maminaw sa ilang storya but cge na lang I was there to write down what they are talking.. i need to document it... shit.
January 5, And yeah, I survived the week, saturday na lang ang i-struggle! And I am looking forward for a pretty weekend since Yotchie would be coming home and the boss is in Manila.. Yehey! And yeah, we would be having a mass today sa lobby...
Happy New Year! Welcome to Year of the Boar!
