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.

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.
