| Pearl, where? |
| Friday, March 21, 2008 |
I often wonder how and why does oysters produce pearls. I mean, its production stage inside a shell is just simply amazing. When we were in Pagudpud, I saw a lot of vendors selling oysters in the road market. I heard from a news somewhere that oysters and other sea shell food products are not safe from the coastal of Batangas and Subic. There is a red tide alert in those areas. The last time I ate oysters were when hubby and I are Boracay. I am not really really about the difference of a regular oyster versus Gulf oysters. The http://beoysteraware.com is a helpful website for oyster fanatic as it gives various information about the benefits and effects of eating oysters. I know a few friends who are fond of eating raw oysters. Just like them, I didn't know that eating raw oysters can also be risky. Thanks to this oyster website. It was designed to educate the oyster consuming public. It also provides a thorough background on vibrio vulnificus and the health conditions that place an individual in the at-risk category, as well as present tasty oyster products with reduced risk for all consumers to enjoy, including at-risk consumers.

| Rainy Days Make Me Feel Lazy |
| Tuesday, August 07, 2007 |
Dang! While some of you are enjoying your "normal life," call center people don't have any other choice but to go to work even with the stormy kind of weather that we are experiencing now. For me, I call it "ang buhay na walang buhay." LOLI guess that is what we have to pay for earning moolah way beyond what a daytime worker could earn. But sometimes, nakakatamad pumasok sa totoo lang. Minsan, parang ayaw ng ma-detach ng katawan ko sa kama. Errrr! Good thing though that our VP that August is going to be a 'dress down' month for us. Unlike other call centers , our company is firm that we should always wear business casual. So no flip flops, jeans, tank top and bermuda shorts from Monday to Thursday. Friday is the only day we could go dress down. Otherwise, there will be coaching tickets issued for violators. LOL Although this thing sets us apart from other call centers, I just think that dressing up during rainy season is a real hassle.
It's Wednesday already! Time really flies so fast (though I don't enjoy working with an IDIOT manager!)
Dang, I was late for work today! Right after I stepped out of the FX, rain poured heavily. I didn't bring an umbrella with me. I really don't like(in fact, I HATE) bringing one. So there, I was "idle" in Shell for 10 minutes! Darn it! I am working on a free shcedule but I just hate reproting for work LATE. I am very much different that the OTHERS (LOL as if she's reading this!) I am a very responsible supervisor. A supervisor's job is to supervise, give floor support.
Stormy Ortigas at 2am 
Hot Arroz Caldo, want some?  Tuesday was a pretty quick day for me. Maybe because I got too busy doing payroll (darn it!) and some other things that really got me excited because somebody who is posing to be SMART was caught on the spot. LOL
Instead of taking a bus, which is the usual thing that my QASs and I would do, we took a cab this time. On the way, we just got hungry. We tried looking for drive-thru fast food chains but NADA. Closed. When we dropped off Iris along North Ave., I remembered that there is a drive-thru Jollibee along Kamuning. So there we go..But it took us 20 minutes before we got our order. Not ony that it's getting "late" but hello, the meter is running!
Heavy Rains still Pouring 
I am not sure if I'll be able to come tonight. I feel lazy. I just like sleeping..if only Russell was here, cuddling is going tobe such a nice thing to do.
P.S. I am uncertain whether I should be happy with the rainy season. Of course, I like the cool weather that tropical depression brings but there's a retribution in the form of El Niño sa Region 1 pero kawawa din ung mga landslide victims.. :( Labels: food trip, weather, work |

| Thank God it's Saturday!!! |
| Friday, August 03, 2007 |
Gosh! Time really flies so fast. I didn't actually realize that weekend is already here. HmmMmmm, that's what you call- BUSY!
Sa dami ng iniintindi ko ngaun: Russell, wedding, office, team members, client service- I lost track of the days. In fernez, di naman ako shadong na-agit dis week (aside from the Wednesday incident that I had).
But Thank God, I had a very nice Friday. How did my Friday go?
It started with a rant but ended up with a kiss-and-make-up. Ganun naman talaga sa subordinate-supervisor relationship. Ang importante, napag uusapan ang problema at hindi iniiwasan. Avhen and I had our "lunch" sa KAINAN NI JOSEPH STRATA. LOL pramis. yun talaga name ng establishment. It is located at the ground level of Strata 2000 (if you are familiar with Ortigas Centre). Ok naman ang tinitindi yon, edible naman. Sa lahat kasi ng ayoko eh ung beef viand na kala mo eh GOODYEAR sa kunat! Chingkie! Avhen a.k.a Raul had Bulalo. I really wanted to have pork sisig kaso Muslim ang vheykla kaya wichels pede kay ateng ang pork. Ibang "karne" lang daw ang pede sa kanya. har har har!!! Tantado talaga ito!
Our shift ends at 4am (forever 8pm-4am na ako with Sat-Sun off). I still lots of things to finish so we were able to go out of the office at around 4:30. Naku huh, tama na ung 30 mins. Before nga "ONDA" as in "on the dot" of 4:00am ako kung umalis ng office kaya patagal ng patagal, padami ng padami ang paperworks na kelangan tapusin! (At hindi pwede ang ganito pag andito na si Russell--- manigas sila! Che!!!).
After I finished all the things I need to accomplish, gora na kami sa stairs/lobby ng bulok na Ortigas Building (LOL). Chika muna kami mga 30 mins. Saka kami gumo-go sa week-end market.
 Emerald Ave., Ortigas Banquitto
Eto ang typical na eksena sa week end market. As usual, mas mabenta pa rin ang mga foodang kesa sa mga anik-anik na buting-things. Chempre, ang mga miron sa "palengke" eh ang mga taga call-center. Siguro kung 50 stalls meron sa banquitto, mga 40 ang food stalls. Yun kasi ang mas mabenta sa mga "call girl at call boy." Stress reliever ang pagkain ng mga bet na na foodasche lalo na at kapag galing ka sa irate caller. Kaya madalas, lolobo ka talaga pag nagwork ka sa call center environment. Ako naman, since mejo natatae ako galing sa lunch namin ni Avhen, I just had Fruitas' green mango (ewwWwww!!! kumusta naman..gus2 talagang mag strut dance sa MRT noh!). Kaya lang mejo inggetera ako dun sa isang baklang mukhang tomboy (gulo ko ba?) na merong plastic cup at merong calamares. Hala at inikot ko talaga ang buong banquitto mahanap lang ang lintek na stall ng calamares. To my disappointed, mejo mahalia mendez pala ang leche. 5 pcs for P20?!! Hellar! P3 lang kaya ang isa nun. Pero sige na nga, nagbabayad naman kasi sila ng pwesto kaya mejo mataas ang mark up price. Speaking of mark up price, ang baklitang si Mark eh nagfiesta sa takoyaki. In fernez, masarap naman sya though di kasing sarap ng orig na takoyaki.
 Heto ang takoyaki. If you're watching Gokusen, you ought to know this. This is Yankumi's yakuza business kaya!
Pagtapos ng walang humpay na paglilibot, we ended up in a table with our hands full of food. Nakakapagd rumonda huh! Habang lumalaps eh feeling ko, commercial kami ng Piattos. Mapanggawa kasi kami ng kwento sa mga taong nakikita namin. Basta laugh trip. Isa sa pinaka favorite namain gawin eh manghula kung sino ang TOP and BOTTOM kapag may dalwang pamintang asteeg. Bahala ka na mag isip kung ano ibig sabihin nun. Basta secret, walang clue. Ganun talaga kapag kasama ang mga DREAM GAYS. Introduce ko na ang mga pokpok (mwahugs badings!) na vheyk-vheyk:
 Yellow: Markling aka. Mark White: Gay-Gay aka. Jay-Jay Black: Gayvhen aka Raul
Kulang ng isang faggot ay mali, isang Dream Gay pala. Maaga umuwi si Ashti Gaydrian. May booking yata. HayYy naku, basta nota talaga!!! LOL Meron din kaming cast ng Encantadia. Anjan si Amihan (Marianne), Alena (Lyza), Danaya (Iris) at si Pirena (Sheryl). Wala lang silang picture dahil ayaw nilang mai-blog ko sila. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! che! kala mo naman kagandahan, nag-iinarte pa! Anyways, if you're gonna ask me kung ano naman ang papel ko--eh ano pa eh di ako ang INANG REYNA ng Encantadia! wahHhHHhH!!!! Tignan ko lang kung may papalag eh lahat sila QAS ko. kapag may gus2ng umagaw ng trono ko eh lagot ang regularization at salary appraisal nila...LOL power tripper naman!
Anyhoo, we "packed up" (ano, shooting?!) around 9am. Juice ko day! kumusta naman ang chikahan di ba?! I received a text from a friend since the time of T-REX asking me if I wanna go out tonight because Steve Aoki is going to be in Embassy. "Steve who?" I replied. "Wala ka, di ka na updated ngaun. hahahahaha! ano nga Embassy tonight?" "Hay naku 'neng pass na ko sa ganyan. Hihintayin ko na lang muna si Russell bago rumampa. Happy booking!" Getting a text like that asking me for a night out reminded me that it's been a gazillion years na since the last time I went out with friends. I don't know what is with me but I no longer enjoy going out in such loud places without Russell. Kaya Russell, lagot ka pag uwi mo. Marami as in marami ka ng utang sa akin. Mula sa movie, sa pigging out and kung anik-anik na R&R.
Mejo mahaba na ang post na ito. Siguro it's time for me na bumorlog na ng bongga ng makadami naman mamaya sa YM with Russell. LMAO
Have a nice week end everyone!
