That week that was...

It's been six days since I last posted my short story about what's happening with this lonely yet not so boring life I am living right now. I've been busy during those days and it's quite hard to budget the limited time I was given.

Wednesday: "Note-ing Hill"

Main characters:

Mark - batchmate in Ateneo who is also working in Panasonic but of different department (Environmental thing)
Ollen - officemate who is half-Filipina and half-German (Nagahubag ang dughan niya)
MJ - officemate who attended some meeting re Environmental Issues (Single and available)
PJ - Mark's officemate (Wala lang)

I was busy pretending that I am doing something. Hahaha...just kidding (people say that jokes are half truth)!!! Well the most exciting thing that have transpired during the day was when I sent Mark a note (Lotus note) asking him if he already sent Ollen a note. I was kinda excited because he has been asking me Ollen's IP address the whole day and when I finally gave it to him, I thought that he should have drop her a note or two, right? I wanna know what he told her and if she replied. It took him quite a while to reply and the note said "Nagmi-meeting pa kami." I thought ok so I replied, "Sowee..."

Around 2 or 3 pm, I was sending fax to customer when MJ suddenly came in and told me, "Hoy, nag-turbo ka kay Mark ano?" She's smiling and still catching her breath.

"Ha?!, paano nalaman," I asked her (syempre medyo confuse why she knew).

"Kase kanina nagmi-meeting kami at me biglang nag appear sa screen na note na galing sa 'yo," she told me, still smiling.

"D' nga?" Asking her pretending I was not affected.

"Oo ano, buti na lang d' nila alam kung ano ang Turbo notes," she said.

"Ibang department?" I was scared na this time because if The Personell will know about the incident, tiyak suspended kami ni Mark.

"Lahat ano, environmental ata 'yung meeting namin," she bragged. "Nagreply ka pa uli sa note ni PJ na ano nga ba 'yun? Ah, sowee!!!," said while laughing at me. Then she went to her table and begun to spread the incident.
I followed her and begging her to stop coz it so embarrassing. After she told three of her collegues she said, "Sila lang naman sinabihan ko ah." I was relieved when I knew that The Personell knew nothing of the incident.

Lesson: Huwag magtsismis-an habang nasa work. High tech man ang gamit sa tsismis-an kung palpak naman eh 'wag na lang. If can't be avoided, try to checked wether it's safe and not busy 'yung katsismis-an mo. 'Bat pa kasi naging sexy si Ollen eh...

Thursday: "KTV sa Pan"

My mom and two other of her male officemates came to Manila for a very special meeting. After sending my guest to Dusit, I hurriedly went to Pan Pacific where my mom was staying. Her officemates asked me to join them on the KTV bar upstairs and I agreed. So we went up and asked for the rate. When we were told about it, it was expensive (Entrance Fee + VIP room + Ladies tapos per hour ang costing). Kaya naman ang presyo pero not worth it daw so we decided not to enter the bar so we went to our separate rooms and decided to sleep na lang and might visit the KTV bar in our dreams.

Friday: "Traffic Jam"

I spent 2 and a half hours on the road. The traffic jam was so heavy. It started at Southwoods (Laguna area) up to Taytay (Ortigas Extension). Me and my Japanese guest were late for about 1 hour with our meeting. Luckily, the person that we're going to meet also spent 2 hours on the road.

Saturday: "Boring day"

Me and my Japanese guest visit one customer in the morning then after I went back to the office while he headed to the airport. I finished making the program for our Chrismas Party. The microwave oven I ordered came then I got the ham from The Personell and wait for the bell to rang.

Sunday: "Xmas Party"

I went to San Pablo city to attend the Komikero Chrismas Party at Gerry's house. I bought ice cream before I went to Gerry's place. I was late (almost as usual hehehe) and they already started the LOTR 1/2 (Extended Version) marathon. It was 45 pass 1 pm so I was hungry and decided to eat first (almost sabay lang kami dumating ni Geoff). I knew that there are scenes that were deleted but I never thought those scenes were so many and so damn good. I really had fun and I really appreciate each and everyone's effort to make that day worth remembering. Hikbi...
