At the Potato corner, buying fries...

Saleslady: Sir try niyo po yung Giga fries namin para marami o kaya yung trio fries, cheese, bbq at sourcream na yun. O kaya po yung potato wedges namin.

Nem: Hmmm... sige ate, pabili nga po nung trio fries niyo.

Saleslady: Sige po Sir.. (starts to cook the fries)

Nem: Uy ate, cheese, bbq at sourcream yung flavors ha.

Duh! Trio nga eh, yun lang naman flavors nun eh. =p

Kwento naman ng aking ka-opisina.

At the Mcdonald's drive through...

Cet: Ate, pa-order po ng fries, burger at Coke.

Nico: Dalawang order ha.

Saleslady: Sige po Sir (starts to walk away to get the food)

Nico: (pasigaw at nagmamadaling sinabi) Ate! Ate! Take-out yun ha!

Wahahaha! Nicholson ano ka ba! Drive through tapos gusto mo dine in? hahahaha =p

The end. 

Three Queer observations today

1st observation: 

The tricycle I rode going to Philcoa had the body number 204. What the driver did was writer the numbers as letters so it turned out as "Two For Nothing."

O di ba susyal? I'm trying to figure out what that means exactly but I have to admit, it was pretty smart of the driver to post that.

2nd observation:

As I was walking on the bridge going to the jeepney stop in Makati, I noticed this guy with a big backpack, whose back was behind me, looking at the scenery (which was actually the public market and the houses beyond that) then looking down at something he was holding.

When I got closer to him (because I was going to go down the stairs), I noticed he was holding a photo of the scenery! He was trying to compare the photo with the market/houses if they were one and the same.

Grabe! Here I thought imbento lang ng MMK ang mga ganung eksena, totoo pala! Galing siya siguro sa probinsya at hinahanap ang bahay na iyon. Nagpunta sa Maynila, umaasang mas maginhawa ang buhay niya dito.

3rd observation:

More than a reality than an observation. I woke up soo early, as in at 6am, but I was still 1 minute late at the office! Hahaha.

What an amazing day! =) 

Go UP Fighting Maroons!

So we didn't win in the cheering competition. At least UST didn't even get into the top 3 (no offense to my Tomasian friends). hehe.

In true UAAP fashion, I covered the launch of the UAAP-Coke-Jollibee and viola! instant complete UAAP inspired bottles.

Coming from an all-UP graduate clan, my family, along with my better half, my brother's better half and my other brother's friend who we wish was his better half, posed with the bottles.

Half an hour later we finished off the bottle. My brother asked, "Baka naman di to pwedeng inumin? yung parang display lang?"

Which got me thinking, "oo nga noh, di ko pala naitanong." Then I realized, "At least magkakasama kaming lahat mamamatay." Hehehe..

Go UP Fighting Maroons!

I suddenly became obsessed with Bettie Page...

Bettie Page is the queen of pin-up as well as bondage. She is infamously known for her bondage photos in the mid-50s and is one of the first sex icons in America.

This might offend most people but as an open minded individual, I became quite fascinated with her. I met Bettie while accidentally surfing the channels and found her film, The Notorious Bettie Page, on HBO.

It's a very interesting story. I was instantly captivated. My favorite line was when after she modeled in exotic/ bondage/ sexy photos, she decided to turn back to being a Christian. As she was giving out fliers to passers by join her church, this conversation took place and her answer is my favorite line.

Man: "Hey aren't you Bettie Page, the girl in all that pornographic photos. Aren't you ashamed of what you did?"

Bettie Page: I'm not ashamed. Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden of Eden, weren't they? When they sinned, they put on clothes.

Paano nga ba ako naka-survuve ng 3 taon sa ABS-CBN?

OJT during interview: Opo Ms Jen, mahilig ako sa mga events at sa palakadlakad. Ayoko lang sa office. Go GO Go ako kahit saan!

Same OJT after 1 month: Grabe Ms Jen, pagod na ko. Ang dami palang events! Pass muna ako sa susunod na event...

###

Trainee during 1st day: Grabe kala ko makaka relax muna ako sa 1st day. coverage agad ng Sharon taping (which ended at 10pm). Grabbeee!

Trainee during 3rd day: Hay, Ms Jen, pagod na ko agad. Grabe ka! Nakatagal ka ng 3 taon dito sa PR. Paano?

Hence, the title of this note.

Isang nakakalokang phone call...

*Ring ring*

Me: Hello. ABS-CBN Corp Comm?

Caller: Hello Cet?

Me: Ay hindi po. Sino po sila?

Caller: Si Henry.

Me: Cet, si Henry daw. IT person ata...

*medyo nakakunot na ang noo namin ni Cet ng mga panahong ito dahil hindi namin alam kung feeling niya dapat kilala namin siya or feeling close or baka naman kapitbahay ko siya or something. So syempre binigay ko na kay Cet ang telepono at di nagtagal, Wowowee passes na ang pinag-uusapan nila sabay tawa ni Cet.*

*Sino nga ba ang kontrobersyal na Henry na ito?*





Si Henry Omaga Diaz.

Usapang pHcare (huwag basahin kung sensitive...)

Galing kami sa MYX-Pure 'n Fresh awards event, nanoood, nag-assist ng TV crew at press, at nag-interview sa mga artista tulad nina Luis Manzano at Nikki Gil tapos andun din sina Jon Avila (ex ko), Marc Abaya, Gigger Boys at marami pang iba.

Dahil event ito ng feminine wash, malamang sangkatutak na pHcare ang giveaway nila di ba. So di maiwasan na magkwentuhan kami ng friends ko tungkol dun. Ito yung conversation namin:

Friend 1: Alam niyo ba, may sasabihin ako. Di ba pHcare to, syempre medyo for sensitive skin siya di ba?

Friend 2: Eh ano ngayon?

Friend 1: Girl, ginamit ko siya sa face! Hindi siya pwede kasi nagka-pimples ako!

All: Hahahaha..

Me: E wala kayo dun sa kwento ng boyfriend ko. Kung ikaw ginamit mo sa mukha, ung pamangking babae naman ni bf, ginamit ung pHcare sa buhok, akala shampoo. Itago na lamang natin yung bata sa pangalang Maria. Mga 6 years old siguro si Maria.

Friend 2: Anong nakakatawa dun?

Me: Kasi paglabas sa CR ni Maria, sabi ng 8 year old kuya ni Maria, ''Mommy, mommy, bakit amoy pepe si Maria?

All: Hahahaha...

After 10 mins...

Friend 2: Pero alam mo kung anong pinagtataka ko.. bakit alam nung 8 year old na bata kung ano ang amoy ng pepe?

All: Oo nga noh... hmmm.... hahahahaha...

pH care.. facial wash and shampoo...

Hindi ako fake! (real life funny story)

Scenario: Two DZMM radio anouncers were talking about how the economic crisis has taken its toll on almost everything - increased prices of food, gas and even school supplies. This is the same reason why school supplies out in the market now have poor quality, particularly the pencils. This is how their conversation went (more or less):

Radio Announcer 1: Grabe talaga ngayon, lahat panget ang quality!

Radio Announcer 2: Oo nga eh.. pati mga lapis ngayon, hindi na magandang gamitin. Lagi na lang tayo naloloko.

RA 1: True yan mare. Yang mga lapis na yan, puro fake. Fake talaga ang lahat ng lapis!

RA 2: Uy, di naman lahat ng lapis fake... katulad ni Jenny Lapis.

Bwahahaha! Promise. True story yan.

*Talbog ka 'day!*

LOVE & MATH

1 X 1 = 1

Translation: If a person is whole in himself and meets another person who is also whole, they will always end up a whole, no matter what

but..

1/2 X 1/2 = 1/4

Translation: Half a person plus another half a person cannot make a whole relationship. You'll end up being less of a person than who you started out as

- pastor mike, VCF

we hate math but this makes so much sense.

ramon bautista + vodka = sabog! :D

dahil di pa ko antok at gusto ko ng matulog ng mahimbing, nag basa ako ng entries ni ramon bautista sa http://www.formspring.me/ramonbautista. sinamahan ko pa ng vodka. some of my fave entries below. though di ko nabasa lahat dahil inantok na ko. wasak! :)

fan: anong maipapayo mo sa mga kabataang nalululong sa droga...?

ramon bautista: tigilan nyo yan. marami pang non-drug sources of happiness like video games, dvds, hangin out with friends, travel, pets, food, the internets, creating arts and crafts, physical fitness, videokeing to name a few. i didnt mention love because its like a drug

sir, anong bagay na title sa blog? yun "superb"! yun pumepeklat ba sa isip ng tao.. cook ako idol... alright!

kung may food blog ako tatawagin kong "lamon bautista" pero ako yon

Nakita kita nuon sa Henlin sa NLEX. Mag-isa. Nahihiya akong lapitan ka nuon eh. Pag nakita kita ulit, pwede ba magpapicture? btw single ka ba ngayon?

wow talaga? naku sana nilapitan mo ko. kung nagpapicture ka, malay mo madevelop tayo at siguro hindi ako single ngayon hihihi

sweet -->>> Happy Valentines Day Sir Ramon :) Mahal ka po ng milyon milyon mong fans at isa na ako dun

kung may 1 million roses lang ako, binigay ko sayo yung isa :)

monrak, bakit namatay si wolverine? :))

nagkamot ng balls, tapos biglang may nag joke..ayun

Sir ramon bakit kaya nilalait ako palagi nung ex ng bf ko? di naman kami magkakilala and twice palang kami nagkikita.

kung ang pangalan nya ay clara at sayo naman ay mara, sadyang ganyan talaga ang gulong ng inyong mga palad

Sir, alam natin na ang "extremes" ay panget.. pano mo malalaman na nasa edge na ang pagmamahal mo sa isang babae?

para sa akin ang pagmamahal ay walang dulo. wasak kung wasak kung hindi wag nalang<<--- favorite ko 

It's almost 1am. Di pa umuuwi yung boyfriend ko. Tingin mo, ano bang matinong bagay ang ginagawa ng mga lalaki pag madaling araw?

nagwe webcast, nag dodota, nageemote, o kaya nasa bahay na talaga ayaw pero lang makipag usap

How and where will you spend Valentine's Day?

sa bahay lang. ooffline sa ym at sa facebook chat at lalong lalo na hindi sasagot ng formsprings para isipin ng mga tao may date ako

Pwede po magtanong? How would you know if a guy is a straight guy o kung pilantik/pusong babae pala sya? Please answer! We need help. haha! Thank You!

pasampolin mo ng kanta ni lady gaga. pag naka 2 lines, kumpirmado. 

4 kami sa room dito sa dorm. Problem is, the other girls are super messy. I try my best to keep my space clean since wala naman akong magagawa sa kanila. But we share the same CR, wc I clean, tas di manlang ma-maintain. Pano ba ang swabeng approach ditey?

isang gabi punit punitin mo ng suot mo at magpanggap ka na sinasapian ka. sa boses na garalgal, sabihin mo "lelechonin mo ang mga mababoy sa kwarto ditey". dapat convincing yung acting para maging neat freak din sila

Napanood ko "Love and Other Drugs" kanina, totoo pala talaga na may hawig kayo ni Jake Gyllenhal. Pag gagawa ka movie, suggest ko title eh "Ramon and Other Gwapos"

ok na sana hanggang nakita ko na lalake ka pala. apir pard

Kung hindi totoo ang burnout sa trabaho, hindi rin ba totoo ang burnout sa love?

san ka nakarinig ng "mahal kita pero tinatamad ako sayo"

Gano katagal po dapat magpaligaw? Baka kasi mag sawa?

bat pinatatagal mo pa, edi sagutin mo na

i agree sir ramon, sobrang badtrip kapag ka-text mo ay "no reply"

diba? para kang nasabihan ng "ampanget mo sayang piso ko" without saying a word

cno ang pnakamadaling lokohin sa lahat?

ang ating mga sarili

Kuya Paulo Coelho

Just some of my favorite P.Coelho quotes. If you really think about it, most of his quotable quotes are actually inspired by the Bible. 

"Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds." - from the book Eleven Minutes

‎"Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time." - from the book The Devil and Miss Prym

"Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day." 

— from the book Brida

"behind the mask of ice that people wear, there beats a heart of fire." 

— from the book Warrior of the Light

"Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused." 

"When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself." 

— from the book Eleven Minutes

"Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me? Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from because I didn't have the courage to say "yes" to life?" 

— from the book Eleven Minutes

"Don't give in to your fears. If you do, you won't be able to talk to your heart." 

— from the book The Alchemist

"When we meet someone and fall in love, we have a sense that the whole universe is on our side. And yet if something goes wrong, there is nothing left! How is it possible for the beauty that was there only minutes before to vanish so quickly? Life moves very fast. It rushes from heaven to hell in a matter of seconds." 

— from the book Eleven Minutes

"Now that she had nothing to lose, she was free." 

— from the book Eleven Minutes

"Anyone who has lost something they thought was theirs forever finally comes to realise that nothing really belongs to them." 

"Our true friends are those who are with us when the good things happen. They cheer us on and are pleased by our triumphs. False friends only appear at difficult times, with their sad, supportive faces, when, in fact, our suffering is serving to console them for their miserable lives." 

—  from the book The Zahir

"A fall from the third floor hurts as much as a fall from the hundredth. If I have to fall, may it be from a high place." 

*Obviously my fave Coelho book is Eleven Minutes. Curious how it'll turn out if made into a movie. It's a really beautiful book. Brida, on the other hand, was my book for the year 2010 (my year).
