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.

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!!

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.
