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.

The following characteristics will not apply to all children in every family. Typical characteristics, however, can be identified:

"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!

Sun Yat Fai Lok!

A friend is like a balloon that helps you soar high
A friend is like a cake adding sweetness to your life
A friend is like a bunch of flowers, spreading happiness and smiles all around,
beautiful and warm
A friend is the best gift one could ever have
Caring, understanding, nice, and true
Just like you are Carmie!

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!

Quotes

Friday, September 14, 2007

It was 12 June. Independence Day. After an all-morning badminton games, we headed to Persiana, an Indian restaurant along the busy Street of Pioneer, Mandaluyong. We slumped on this long table which comfortably sits 8 famished addicts (holiday na nga, pumasok pa sa opisina para maglaro ng badminton). Cler suggested the resto so we asked her for recommendations. Order here, order there. You can imagine the buzzing of the table - 7 hot ladies and a lone hunk! Talking all at the same time - hecklin', shoutin', laughin', and bitchin'! And we were all bondats!

Since we stuffed ourselves, you might think we calmed down after that. Nah ah! Everyone was hyper - every conversation was carried out in high pitch tone, full of angst! Until one of us hot blooded chick got carried away with her kwento that another chick had to check her pulse on the neck, uttering, "High blood ka ba???!!!" Everyone had a good laugh at that scene and since then "high blood ka ba?" or HB for short has been used in every opportunity. Like, EVERY opportunity. You think it ended here? Nope. In the spirit of spontaneity, one chick suddenly suggestted that we go for coffee and dessert at.......... Tagaytay City! And off we went to Tagaytay (minus the lovely couple C&M). The roadtrip was non-stop hecklin' shoutin' laughin' and bitchin' plus getting lost in Highway 41 (it refers to Exit 41 but for some reason, we call it Highway 41). Caveat: Don't you dare get lost on a road trip. You will never hear the end of it. Never.

There you go - the intro on how the blog name came to be. How about the highlights of the day? It's worth posting, too!

K had a chocolate bar as palaman for her tinapay. Seriously. Kailangan inuulit ang salita ng dalawang beses.
Kailangan inuulit ang salita ng dalawang beses.
M was entirely glued on her PDA the whole time. Anti-Social of the Year.
The birth of Row 1, Row 2 and Row 3
Coffee and dessert at Starbucks, Tagaytay - overlooking Taal Volcano
The famous air-conditioner of the spaceship - dalawang tao lang nakinabang sa aircon pero anim ang pasahero
No sleeping during the entire trip - back and forth
And the most important lesson we learned at the end of the day: if you have a car, ensure that the car stereo is working. You don't want to get stuck in traffic with chicks with iPods.
