Happy Birthday, Mawie!!!

From your HB Family!

True

Yes, it's true. Tony Hadley, lead vocalist of Spandau Ballet, is in town! Here's a video clip:



Although he's 25 (?) years late, ok na rin. Na-HB lang ako dun sa security na kumuha ng pics with Tony Hadley! GRRRRRRRR!!! Demmit. Ang pangit ng kuha e - blurred. Oh well.

on the look out

nagkekwentuhan kami ni bex kanina..... i was able to tell her na falfak ang pinatahi kong gown kasi masikip sa akin tapos ginawan lang ng paraan but i am still cramped in it..... sayang she mentioned na may gownmaker pala syang kilala na mas mura pa labor fee.

anyway, i told her na dapat pala on the look out na ako ng sale na damit pang attend ng kasal kasi iba pa rin ang ready-made kita mo agad kung kasya at fit sa 'yo. Hindi ko talaga take ang regular price kasi nga sa laki kong 'to. Sabi ko tutal classic naman ang style usually ng formal wear kaya pwede pang isuot kahit in the future pa. Tutal ang dami pa namang susunod na ikakasal -- si kler, HV, weeyah, si bex, kawen he he he. Alam ko na -- sa kasal ni KMO!

pressurin ba na ikasal kayo at imbitahin ako he he he!

o ayan may pose ulit ako ha!

Nakitawa at nakiiyak kami sa crowd

Ha ha ha JB call us baduy but we watched "A Very Special Love" last night with bex and HV! Nakitawa at nakiiyak kami with the moviegoers! We enjoyed the movie! Ang cute cute ni papa john lloyd! Sinamahan nila ako bumili ng "waist reducer" he he he. Then light dinner at Le Coueur de France then headed home!

Next movie - Richard & KC movie!

Early morning blunder

HB Moment # 4: Umagang Kay Ganda...Sana

My Tatay's going on mission to Hanoi next week. As early as two weeks ago, I already booked his flights as we know that it'll be difficult to confirm seats. But last week, we got a confirmation. Also last week, Thursday to be exact, I got his MAR endorsed and submitted the TRA to Travel. I then called AMEXCO to inform them that I will be submitting the TRA and that as soon as it is processed, they can issue the ticket. Good thing I did this because it was only then that was I informed of the ticketing deadline...which was the following day!!!

So I rushed my TRA to Travel. Tagged it with URGENT tab and a note that says "TICKETING DEADLINE TOMORROW".

Given the circumstances, I knew it was okay to assume that I can pick up our ticket anytime this week. So I called them several times. But no answer. No return calls either.

I was only able to talk to someone today. And guess what I was told? "Ma'am i-checheck ko po sa Travel kung na-process na ang TRA nyo." Umakyat na ang dugo sa ulo ko because I know we have a deadline and it's already Wednesday. How come they haven't processed my TRA when they know we have a deadline. GGGrrrrr...!!!! "What? Eh diba, may deadline tayo nung Friday?!" "Oo nga po eh. Tsaka na-cancelan po tayo. Yung Hongkong Hanoi sector po waitlisted."

Pagkatapos natikman nya ang latigo ni Clarita.

The final tally

4 votes NO

3 votes YES

No votes: shuttlewoosh, hazel, rhea, jellybelly

HB Moment

Ay may HB moment na naman ako sa in-house travel agent natin. Medyo mahaba....my boss ("tatay") will go to Copenhagen, I called them kung saang embassy nila ipapasok kasi we might follow up due to time constraint. They said sa Norway.....fine. Tapos nalaman ko sa French Embassy nila ni-file. Sabi ko bakit dun nila pinasok sabi nila sa Norway e kung mag-follow up pala kami sa Norwegian embassy wala dun ang papers ng tatay ko. Sabi sa akin ay di po ba sa France sya pupunta? Sabi ko hindi sa Copenhagen sya pupunta for the nth time at nasa form yun. Kung ano-anong sinabi until ang last reason nila mas madali daw kasi mag-release ng schengen visa ang French Embassy. Fine, natahimik ako. I just waited for the release of the visa. Until, na-release na ang visa pero mali ang date--entry date nya ay ang date na ng conference nya so dapat earlier ang entry date, sabi ko papalitan nila. Then I got a call:

agent: ms. carmie, hindi na natin ulit ito mapapasok sa French embassy kasi wala ng france ang itinerary nya. Please prepare a new form then we'll file it at Norwegian Embassy.
me: Huwaat, hindi pwede wala na akong time. At saka bakit hindi pwede ulit ipasok sa French embassy e sila na nag-issue nyan.
agent: kasi po dati sa itinerary na sinubmit natin may france na itinerary nya e ngayon po sa revised itinerary nya wala na pong france.
me: Sabi ko hello, eversince walang france sa itinerary nya, I'm 100% sure kaya kung dati tinanggap nila, syempre tatanggapin pa din nila yan.
agent: e may france po talata.
me: aber aber fax nyo nga sa akin ang itinerary na sinubmit nyo.
they faxed it........

Pagkita ko ang nakalagay kasi sa orig itinerary nya ang return nya ay via Frankfurt kaya 3-airline code ay FRA. Kaya sabi nila part ng itinerary nya ang FRAnce.

Ka-high blood!!! ka-HB to the max.....hello, travel agent pa naman kayo ang FRA ba ay France. E dapat PAR o kaya kung airport code ay CDG or ORY!

hay naku!!

Happy Birthday Bex!

HB Moment # 3: Antipatikong Messenger

At 1:30pm today, I got a call from a messenger of Globe who's at the Main Lobby.

Messenger: Hello, Ma'am, ito po ba ang office ni Mr. XXXXXX?
Ako: Opo. Ito nga.
Messenger: Ma'am pwede pong pakisabi yung phone nya galing sa Globe andito na po. Pwede na nyang kunin.
Ako: Naku, wala pa sya eh. Pwede bang ako na lang ang mag-receive nyan?
Messenger: Ay, hindi po pwede ma'am eh. Dapat sya po, personal po kasi ito eh. Dapat may authorization kayo na mag-receive.
Ako: Eh mamaya pa sya dadating, mga 2:00 pa siguro kasi may lunch sila eh.
Messenger: Naku, 2:00 pa po? Pano po kaya ito?
Ako: Kung gusto mo bumalik ka na lang mamaya.
Messenger: Naku madami pa akong pupuntahan eh para deliveran. Pano kaya ito?
Ako: Wala tayong magagawa kasi ayaw mo naman ipa-receive sa akin. Kaya bumalik ka na lang
Messenger: Kasi nga po ma'am wala kayong authorization.
Ako: Oh kaya nga, bumalik ka na lang.
Messenger: Tsk..tsk..ang dami ko pang pupuntahan eh. Ay, ma'am. Pwede po bang kayo na lang ang bumaba dito?
Ako: Bakit ano yun?
Messenger: May ibibigay lang po ako sa inyo na dapat papirmahan kay Sir.
Ako: (Natatawa na naiinis na ako) Ha?! Eh bakit kukunin ko pa eh babalik ka din naman mamaya diba para ibigay yung phone? Bakit hindi na lang ikaw ang magbigay sa kanya mamaya?

He came back after an hour.

Ring...ring...ring...
Messenger: Ma'am anjan na po ba si Sir? Andito na po ako.
Ako: Oo nandito na sya.
Messenger: Pakisabi po bumaba na sya. Tsaka pakisabi bilisan na lang po.

Faces of HB #2

Mga labas ngala-ngala


Mga labas dila

Wala akong makitang iba e, demure talaga, labas lang ang ngipin

Faces of HB

Hindi na talaga ma-reach ang ating fwends

Last night was badminton day in opis and most of the HBs were there to play their tourney games (mawee, haze, and kler joined the tourney) and the others to Q & H (queue and heckle). Si Mylene pang tourney na din ang beauty at si georgia muntik ng ma-tabloid with headline "Line judge in badminton game, muntik nang paluin ng raketa" he he sa ingay habang nagla-line judge joke!

Reeyah was absent. Reeyah ano ba yung press release ni bex about dowry thing. Are you getting married? he he he.

And so I've witnessed their games and di na ma-reach ang ating mga fwends ang gagaleng na nila lalo na si mawee. Long rally and then she'll be the one to kill the ball -- smartly! Grabe ang galeng!

Hurray to HBs!

Blind Item #2

She keeps this in her workstation. Along with her magnets. I asked her who's it from but she just smiled. It's very special to her. It brightens up her day. It makes her very happy. For the longest time, she's never been this happy. And I/we are glad that she's happy...

HaPi BeRTdeY ReeYA!

HB's thoughts for Weyaboo!

Your birthday is a great time to remind you how much you’re loved.

Don’t think of yourself as getting older . . . You are, of course, but it’s best not to think of it!

A special person like you deserves the best that each day can bring.

May your life be filled with love and happiness on your birthday and always! and May happiness fill your day and may sunshine fill all your tomorrows.

We treasure all the moments we’ve shared . . . all the memories we’ve made.

The world is much nicer because of friends like you!

Each birthday is a new beginning, full of promise and opportunity and the chance to make dreams come true.

"Only Child Syndrome" Confessions

an interesting read that really helped me understand better....

"....I never had to share. Everything was mine. No sibling ever came in and borrowed my things without asking or broke something of mine. I took care of my possessions. Yes, they were mine. I had to learn at a much older age the concept and virtue of sharing. It was quite an adjustment living with people. And even now, though I try to control it, I'm still very territorial and sometimes obsessive compulsive about my possessions."

Birth Order

Stereotypical characteristics

Firstborn: Determined, high achiever, leader, organized, parent pleasures, perfectionists, responsible, rule keepers.

Middle: Competitive, flexible, outgoing, peacemakers, people pleasers, social.

Youngest: Absentminded, affectionate, creative, humorous, late bloomers, outgoing, social, tend to question authority.

Hecklers on the courts!

Tuesday nights are always awaited by the HBs as it's badminton night. And aside from playing badminton, we engage in our favorite pasttime while waiting on queue which is - HECKLING the players.

After last night, I think heckling should be elevated as a sport in itself. The HBs outdid themselves, shouting at the top of their voices. And the subject of the heckling....poor lil moi.

I was still bitin after about 4 or 5 games so I played one more game with Amie, Daryl, and Mylene. Bah...really hard to concentrate on the game as the heckling drowned out everything. We were the only ones playing so these hecklers really pored it on.

At one point, Bex was shouting at Mylene about her diet. Mylene is really really slim and Bex wanted to know what she ate. Did she eat rice at all, what she has for breakfast, etc. etc. Well I thought this was a waste of time since she never takes advice about dieting and exercising. So I shouted back saying:

Ba't ka ba tanong ng tanong ng diet ni Mylene e hindi mo naman gagawin!

After that...complete silence. Hmmm.....what happened kaya....no rebuttal? I guess they can dish it out but they can't take it ;-)

Blind Item #1

Sinong HB gel ang may ONLY CHILD SYNDROME?

Definition of ONLY CHILD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An only child is a child with no siblings, either biological or adopted. First-born children are temporarily only children and thus have a similar early family environment. The influence of being an only child is controversial, but a considerable amount of theory exists on the subject. G. Stanley Hall, known as the founder of child psychology, called being an only child "a disease in itself."

Yun na!

Kelan nga ba ang June 12?

One year na ang HB sa June 12.

Last night, while having after gymming meals and bonding at Le Coeur de France, we (Rhea, Bex, Hazel and moi) were reminiscing about what we did last year. At ano naman kaya ang pwedeng gawin this year.

Medyo gustong linawin ni Reeya kung kailan gagawin ang mga pinaguusapang plano.....

Rhea: Kelan nga ba yan..June 12? June 12 ba? Sa July ba yun?

Huh?! Ano daw?

'Nuff said

Shakey's vs Pizza Hut

HV: Grabe Marie, naubos mo talaga yung buong pizza!!
Mawie: Basta gusto ko nauubos ko. Eh, sa Shakey's nga nauubos ko yung medium-sized pizza....
HV: So, anong gusto mo....Pizza Hut?! (kablag....ano daw?!!)

Someone's got a BF

he he he wala lang naisip ko lang na dapat naka document dito sa HB blog natin that CF's got a BF last year.

ha ha ha naalala ko lang as in casually, naturally, when I saw CF sa badminton court sa opis, sabi nya "mama carms may BF na ako". And I am so happy for her. I even had a chance of meeting him when we went to D and B's place at nabinyagan sya dun ni LV na lahat ng mga BFs ng barkada ay dumaan sa pang-aasar at panghahalay nya ha ha ha. Matira matibay. Second time I met him was when he and CF paid a visit during my father's wake. Thanks papa J.

And another one's got a BF, too si ________________.

We wish you all the happiness in this world!

Round Shape

I saw JB yesterday at the EB of Baddicts at GBC with_________. I waved at her from afar.
JB: waved, too
CRT: when JB was going near the court where their quorum will play and it was near my area where I was seated, JB, without glasses, was trying to figure out who I was.... I think. I said, hindi mo pa pala ako narerecognize (kasi alam kong ganun sya pag walang mata, este salamin) e bakit nag-wave ka na sa akin na parang as if nakilala mo na ako.
JB: Sa shape lang and she formed a very round shape using her hand.

ha ha ha yan si JB!

thanks to badminton

he he he senti post lang po....

actually i'm so thankful to badminton for leading the way for us HB friends in this blog to be together. I'm happy that we're now berks. Kasi actually dati akala ko suplading is chubbytoo, si HV at si JB. Si RR at si CF friendly-looking naman talaga kaya lang wala namang magko-konek sa amin. Si KM naman alam ko ibang level sya kasi mataas ang height! (hanubako).

But we became friends sa court! at sa food trips! at pare-parehong HB!

Ok lang ba sa inyo tawagin MADAM?

phone ringing....

me: Goodmorning....ADB.
caller: this is ms. duh of hsbc marketing. madam, what branch is this?
me: what is this about MADAM (na HB agad)?
caller: madam i just want to know what branch this is.
me: what office are you calling MADAM?
caller: this is adb right? what branch is this?
me: there are no branches here...the branches (i should've said mission kaso HB na me about being called MADAM that i forgot)are all in other countries!
caller: ah ok. thank you.

Embassy

Naalala ko na!

As we were exchanging stories about Pacquiao's pictures dancing and kissin? with a girl or girls?........ asked RR:

RR: Sa US Embassy?
Chubbytoo: Anong US Embassy, Embassy Bar! (HB)

he he he wala lang..... kailangan mag-pose e este post.

"Osamaaaaaaaaaaa"

After going to the gym last night, Haze, Chubbytoo and I met up with Jellybelly and, as usual, had a great time heckling each other which made our stomachs hurt because of too much laughing (there must be something in the Starbucks coffee and tea...hmmmm).

Anyway, sobrang dami ng booboos, we were even able to come up with new terms and discovered some things from history na hindi tinuturo sa school.

Nag-Maroon 5 = nagmamarunong sa mga usapan.
Kwento ---
Chubbytoo: Ang Starbucks Tea ba pwedeng maka-earn ng sticker? Kasi hindi ako umiinom ng coffee e.
RR: No. Hindi ata. Coffee drinks lang.
Chubbytoo: Huh?? Sigurado ka? Kasi, bakit ganun, nung nag-tea ako sa Starbux eh hiningan ako ng sticker card?
RR: Hindi. Coffee lang.
Chubbytoo: Huh?? Pero nga, ilang beses ako uminom ng tea eh hiningan ako ng sticker card? Meaning, pwede ang tea!
RR: Pwede nga siguro. Sige, pwede na.
Chubbytoo: Nagmama-roon 5 ka ata e! Hehehehehe...

feat. = featuring
Kwento ---
Jellybelly sent Haze 17 songs, Timbaland Presents Shock Value CD. Comment ni JB, "Grabe ang dami namang feat. sa mga kanta ni Timbaland (referring to his songs like: Apologize feat. OneRepublic, Release feat. Justin Timberlake, among others). Sino kaya si feat.? Ang bilis naman sumikat ni feat. dami agad kanta") duhhhhh??!?!??!??!

Osamaaaaaaaa = When you're stressed and you want to relax. Just close your eyes and form your fingers ala yoga and say "Osamaaaaaaaaaaa"
Kwento ---
JB: Alam nyo bang Moslem pala si Obama?
Hzl: Huh? Baka si Osama.
All together now: "Osamaaaaaaaaaaa"

mag-Toastmaster = Uhhhmmm, aaaahhh
Kwento ---
Hzl: Grabe wala akong ginagawa. As in wala. Kanina pinanood ko yung debate ni Clinton, Obama, at ni Huckabee (siya nga ba, Haze?)
JB: Talaga?
Hzl: Yes. Alam mo si Obama, parang nagsa-stammer siya.
RR: Panong stammer?
Hzl: Puro "uhhhmm, aaaaah" sa speech niya.
RR: Ah, alam mo, kailangan niyang sumali sa Toastmaster
Marie (straight faced, real serious while drinking her coffee): Oo nga.
(wala lang, gusto ko lang siya isama hehe)

Abraham Lincoln = first black US President
Kwento ---
RR: Naku, pag nanalo si Obama, meron na namang black president ang US.
JB: Oo nga. Hindi naman siya ang unang black US president diba?
RR: Yup. Sino pa nga ba ang naging black na US President?
JB: Si Lincoln!! bwahahahahaha

P.S. Kaming apat lang pumunta ng Starbucks, pero we had 5 drinks. Bakit kamo? Dahil sa Starbucks planner na yan ni JB.

My First

nakarating sa akin na wala pa raw akong contribution sa HB blog. sige na nga, o, eto na ang first post ko.....

me angal??!!!

Ang bagong BF ni Bex

rumampa na naman ako ng HB

further to my post below about mexicalli, medyo na-HB ako:

Me: (nasa cashier umorder ng aking arroz ala cubana, computed ko na P150 petot lang yata yun)
Cashier: 168 pesos po.
Me: Huh? di ba 150 lang di ba dapat inclusive na yung VAT sa price nyo (as per law ek ek)
Cashier: may service charge po
Me: (pers tym ko nga sa mexicalli e) - service charge? e di dabat you are taking my order while I sit there hindi parang ganitong self-service syle. (E yun ang alam ko e may service charge yung may service na ginawa from taking orders to finish Hmmp!)

Chika Mo! Chika Ko!

8Jan08 - our first Tue badminton game in opis for 2008! There were quite a lot of players. As Jimmi asked, "why so many players today"? I replied, many want to lose the calories from last holidays' OE (overeating) he he he.

After the games, we ate at mexicalli, mwah, bex, reeyah, haze, and ces. It was my first time at Mexicalli kasi baka kako lasang arabo - in fairness, masarap pala. Nakakainis sila soup lang daw order nila hhmp! (ka HB). Anyhow, riot na naman sa kwentuhan at halakhakan! May blooper pa nga si reeyah e i forgot lang, si bex ang kausap nya.

We talked about Solar sports not in skycable anymore, it has moved to Destiny (due to network war????). Me, I changed cable provider for 2 reasons dahil nga wala ng solar sports e i love watching badminton games dun but major factor is to cut down on monthly expenses. I am paying 1,000 per month with sky, but with destiny only half of it. I compared the channels, i told myself that i can get away without national geographic (this is nice and educational pero sa totoong buhay hindi ko rin naman to halos napapanooran dahil naaantok ako he he he). No ANC rin at Star Movies, etc. Pwede na rin dahil nga nagtitipid ako e. Oks lang with my kids for as long as Disney Channel, CN, and Nick are there -- may plus pa Playhouse Disney, which is available for platinum subscribers only in Skycable.

Ha ha ha we even discussed how super aliw yung Chika Mo! Chika Ko! show at UnTV. Grabe okrayan and sabi nila, ang sarap daw ng feeling na nuetural sila kaya whether kapuso or kapamilya inookray nila. I said, kung papiliin ako to watch bet. HBO/Nat'l Geographic or Chika Mo, I think I'll be glued to watching it than HBO bwa ha ha!
