Yepeey!

Party 'till dawn!

It's been a long year since our last Christmas Party.

December 15, 2007 -- As usual, everybody's late. Our call time was supposed to be 6pm at Bob's Homesite but some came in 8pm. Yes, Ma'am Tweet and Sir Francis waited 2 hours for us. Salute to our Bosses they came in on time! Anyways, our party started with a prayer lead by Mr. Boojie Ong 'The Emcee'. As expected he made a very touching spiel (I mean prayer) and speech at the same time. After that we ate dinner. The food is good. The 'lechon' is great! Then the raffle came in after and everybody got their gifts - stand fans, oven toasters and I don't know what else they got. Hehehe! Everyone was happy.



Everyone never thought that Rihanna was really coming. She/he danced and sung for us together with her/his back up dancers in the tune of Umbrella ella ella aye... under my umbrella...

Everyone was surprised and confused? They quickly grabbed their cameras and cellphones to get pictures of Rihanna. Actually it was Ramon our officemate danced for us. He really wore a backless blouse and a wig. It was fun! It was funny actually. Hilarious! Hehehe! We then had games composed of three teams. The first game was a disaster. The teams cheated. Every member of the team should fill up their respective bottle of San Mig Light with water using a spoon. I'm not sure what was the second game but I can still remember the third game. We can call it 'put-your-fore-finger-in-the-bottle-game'. The name is too long but the mechanics are simple. The boys created a circle with the bottles just below their 'PP' as 'The Emcee' called it and the girls just have to put their fingers when the music stops.

But here comes the grand prize. It was time for our grand winner of an Ipod nano 4gb. I remember last year I almost got an ipod shuffle. So I waited until the time my name was called out as a new Ipod owner. Yes, you're right I got the gadget this time. Yeheey!

We partied 'till dawn.

My lucky day!

The Adventures of Kurimaw Dutkom Part I

A short story of an ordinary man.


The scorching heat of the sun produced sweat from Kurimaw's forehead.

"Where the hell am I going to?" He asked to himself.

In this unholy hours of the day Kurimaw's strolling along Lacson St. without knowing where he's headed. He wipes his sweat with his long sleeves while trying to cross the street. He then found himself beside a newspaper stand. He grabs a copy of Sun Star Newspaper and quickly browsed the pages.

Editorial page... No! Obituary... No, not that! There you go Job Ads!

"I can make use of this." He told himself. He paid 8 pesos for the copy.

"Hey, it's 10 pesos per copy!" the old lady shouts with a tiger look in her face. Kurimaw had no choice but to give the additional 2 pesos from his khaki pants. He soon realized that his wallet is missing. He dropped his folders from his hand and he keeps on searching and searching (a body search actually). But he failed to find it. He sits in the gutter for awhile and found his folders and a copy of newspaper. He stands up and walks like a defeated man. Slowly...

"That old hag!" muttered Kurimaw.

"Haay, last chance!" he said to himself while looking at his copy of Sun Star Newspaper.

to be continued...

Rebellion or Desperation?

Sen. Trillanes walks out during his hearing! I did not get a chance to see it blow by blow but here's what I have from 'Bandila' when I got home last November 29.

Together with his so called Troops and Former VP Guingona marched from courtroom to Manila Peninsula Hotel. They really looked pathetic because no other civilians joined them even though Trillanes with his tiger look keeps on yelling to the TV monitor, "Join us!" What is he really up to? He's a prisoner due to a failed coup where he also leaded. It was in Oakwood then. Anyways, here he goes again! Trying with all his might and by the way he's elected senator while in prison last election. Funny, it seems but it's true (only the Philippines).



The atmosphere was so tensed while the Police and Military men beefing up towards the entrance of Manila Pen. Warning shots were being discharged. Tear gas were dispersed inside. A combat armored vehicle (tank) maneuvered by a woman tried to get in and demolished the front door of the hotel. Soon enough Trillanes went out handcuffed. Even reporters were being held captives. Yes, even the media was inside the hotel. Sorry to all Policemen who was caught in camera cuffing media men. The Law Enforcement even ordered ABS-CBN to turn over raw footage of hotel siege. The combat team escorted all personalities who joined the uprising. It was just sad to see a priest and a Bishop who were there during stand off. They really took part. Is this godly? Are they supporting these kinds of deeds? What a shame!

It is really disturbing, sad to say this event was premeditated. According to the news, Nov 30 is the planned date because it's a holiday. But it was Trillanes who wanted it during or right after his hearing. But the plot failed. He's so desperate. He really wanted to be front of the camera all time but sorry to say he failed on the second time around. Loser!

It is just right to hunt those who financed this uprising and whoever is the mastermind's mastermind. They are so many nobody can track them down. Hahaha!

I'm sure one of them wants to get even with President Gloria. You know who!

Korean Occupation

There was a Spanish and a Japanese occupation. There was also America's MacArthur, "I shall return!" And for our modern day invasion in a different form - Korean occupation?

They are all over the place. You can find them in schools, malls, restaurants and bars chit-chatting to the ever hospitable Filipinos. They never fail to show up just everywhere. The number is alarming. It keeps on increasing. By simply looking at them, they're seemed comfortable strolling along the streets of Bacolod. (As if they own it!) I want to shoo them away. Hehehe!

I even had a first-hand encounter with one of them in MO2 Restobar. I'm anxious merely talking to them. They're trying to be friendly but hell no thanks! He's dancing with some of his female Filipino friends and he forcibly grabbed me to dance with them. Well, I dance with them. Hehehe! But I want out he just would not let me. It pisses me off because he keeps on holding me. Good thing I have friends with me and they helped me out. I went off traumatized. whew!

I'm not really sure but they're here to the English language they say. Why here? Might be cheaper here to study, I guess. Why not we bring in English teachers to Korea instead? It must be much much cheaper. It is much better.

Red Jeepney

Don't ride in a red jeepney!

Good thing I did not get to ride a red jeepney today. Yesterday, I was late not because I woke up passed 11am but because of that red jeepney. I took off at around 10:15am from our house yesterday. I thought it was going to be a hassle-free ride for me. It would normally take me 20-25 mins (30 mins the most) to travel from our house down to the office. So I thought it was safe my 'time in' is 11am anyway but I was wrong. The jeepney stopped from every corner and waited for passengers 100 meters away from us. That I think ate up our travel time from 3 to 5 mins average. If it did so, 3 mins of waiting times 8 blocks of stops equals 24 mins and that was for the agony of waiting. In short, I was late! I would never forget that face of the jeepney driver and his red jeepney.

If I were you don't ride in a red jeepney. I am telling you! Choose a different color. Maybe, blue? Yellow? Hahaha!

3. Watermelons are found in varied shapes and sizes and the latest addition is a SQUARE watermelon grown by the Japanese. These square watermelons were created to save space and to ensure that the watermelons fit in the refrigerators more easily. The farmers put the watermelons in a square tempered glass box, when the watermelon is still growing on the vine. The square boxes are of exact dimensions of the Japanese refrigerators that allows full-grown watermelon to fit in conveniently and precisely in refrigerator shelves. The square watermelons are generally priced at a very high premium.

Players take it in turns to stand at the beginning of the run, each foot encased in a scooped out watermelon. They then hold onto a rope being held by two people standing either side of the tarpaulin. These two players run down the course dragging the watermelon skier behind them. The person who remains on his feet for the longest distance is the winner.
