Remembering HS - part uno

Filed under: health, social, food, events - Administrator @ 7:58 am

Last Tuesday, former ADDU HS 4Blue classmates gathered around for a drink or two at Greenbelt. Among the attendees were Sally, Janoah, Jeanny, Kate, Crystal, Rhea, Mikko, Dino and Charles. It was a fun night until the waitress informed us that bars in Greenbelt 3 closed at 12 MN. WTH?!?

Anyway, naisip ko, sobrang tagal na rin pala since kami nagkita-kita, about <10 years ago, sobbing moments. Imagine that! Then it dawned on me, I can’t anymore remember high school, maybe because I am a nerdox way back or maybe I just want to erase that memory. Anyway, back then all I ever had were school and home. You can’t blame me, my baon at that time was around PHP 20, yes PHP 20! But aha! It became PHP 40 when I was in 4th year, but PHP 40 at that time was next to nothingness. I remembered during my last years in high school that the only source of snacks I had were kikiam and mentos, imagine that, filling your stomach with air to alleviate the hunger. After snack time, I will still have around PHP 20. For lunch I will just buy a rice, a bar-be-que and a free soup for only… drum roll please… PHP 10!!! Hooray for province price! (So that must be the reason I am a walking skeletor back then!)

The Incredible Hulk - Exclusive Trailer

Filed under: movie - Administrator @ 5:11 pm

Just a quick update, a new exclusive trailer (exclusive to whom? internets?) of ‘The Incredible Hulk’. This is a reset from the original Ang Lee directed movie. Click here to view the trailer. Here’s hoping that they will erase from my memory Ang Lee’s version, if you like that movie then good for you. With Eric Bana out, Edward Norton is the new Bruce Banner with Liv Tyler as Betty Ross (woohoo!). And oh Tim Roth (amazing actor btw) will play as the villain Abomination. WTF?!? Why??? Why did you introduce the villain already, your killing the thrill!

Oh well… *sigh* I just read the comic series World War Hulk and I couldn’t wait for this movie to hit the theaters. And oh, Neo and Agent Smith would like to thank you for using their fight during that last scene.

They was important to me…

Filed under: social, rant, music, quotes, events - Administrator @ 2:41 pm

Jeez, just finished watching the Bb. Pilipinas Pageant Q&A portion and wow, the whole TXT generation is really coming back to haunt us. Watch it here. I am not good in English, but damn those things were taught in elementary! And don’t f****ng tell me to let them answer in Tagalog because we are in the Philippines, the mere fact that she is a college masscomm student, MASS COMMUNICATION for pete’s sake!, in one of the top universities in the country that should be an indicator that she is [sic] at least fluent. With so many blunders, nothing against her, but why did she win again?!?

Excerpt from the Q&A:

Q: What role did your family play to you as candidate to Binibining Pilipinas?

A: Well… my family’s role for me is so important because there was the wa- they’re they was the one who’s very… Haha… Oh I’m so sorry… Ahhmm… My pamily… My family… Oh my god… I’m… Ok… I’m so sorry… I… I told you that I’m so confident… Eto… Ahhmm… Wait… Hahahaha… Ahmmm… Sorry guys because this was really my pirst pageant ever because I’m only 17 years old and haha I… I did not expect that I came from… I came from one of the tough 10. Uhmmm… so… but I said that my family is the most important persons in my life. Thank you.

On the side note, I want to kill myself because I didn’t watch the Incubus concert. F******!

What’s in a (company) name?

Filed under: social, office - Administrator @ 3:57 am

I always shudder everytime someone is going to ask about my company. Well - disclaimer first - I love my company, the products we are offering are great! The people are great! The pay is great! - wow this feels like an advertisement - moving along, the only problem I have is that my company is not (yet) a household name. So everytime someone’s going to ask me, hey what is your company?, I would never say the name of the company, ok I only whisper it, then I always add, well it is based in Europe! And our clients are worldwide telecom firms! And they will reply, well ok… Sensing they are lost, I reiterate, you know Globe or Smart right? Well those are the type of clients we have. But then they will never back down and ask, so are they your clients? *sigh* Hopefully *sigh*.

This wasn’t the first time that this happened to me. When I was still employed back in Cebu, I always told back home that even though they didn’t know my company that it is a big Japanese firm and it’s famous in Japan. Ah just like Sony or Toyota? Well err no, more like like like oh I give up! People will always equate big, established and famous companies as ‘THE’ company to worked for. Everyone (especially the parents) wants you to work for a big conglomerate because then they can be proud of you and endlessly be boasted among their circle of friends. Usually the conversation will start this way, parents: Oh my son/daughter works for <insert big name firm>! Friends: Oh really? That’s great, what is his/her position? Parents: We don’t really care as long as he/she works there.

*Sigh* It feels so hard to justify where you work. *sigh* But hey it is in Makati! Oh, still in the Philippines… But hey! Google started as a small company and look at them now! Oh, we aren’t the Google… But! Our clients are abroad and they are really big firms! Yes, but did you happen to be deployed abroad already? Oh…………….
