Exhale

Work is treating me quite well these days. Just follow-ups and look-outs for recently published articles about the company. Oh, and sending out thank-yous to the VIP's who extended their support at the press con. It helps that the boss is Über happy with the quantity of media exposure in lightening up the atmosphere in the office.

I'm also starting to love Boy-Next-Door. Not love LOVE , i.e. love that hurts but love coz he's gonna make my work a lot easier for me. Their firm will be in charge of everything to be done in the soon-to-be corporate office. The boss finally got sick of Sungit Summit One Tower. He even offered to provide the conference table I was scouting out for the laboratory but unfortunately purchased last Friday. Too late. Huhu.

Anyway, the business cocktail I went to last Thursday turned out to be just hanging out with the big boys. It was at Teak in Rockwell. Cosmopolitan galore!!!:p Conrad, the proprietor of the architectural firm kept apologizing for the "boys' terms" they kept using. I was like "Duh! As if!" deep inside but Vic kept reminding me on the way to try to behave. So, I just waved the apologies off and ahem, kept flashing my 10-karat smile. Haha!

Small world. Paqui, one of the big boys, turned out to be Sheila[who I was meeting up with later that night]'s groupmate in their ME [Master of Entrepreneurship] course at AIM [Asian Institue of Management]!!! Hahaha! He didn't remember her name at first but he did when I mentioned water girl and after I showed him my earring on the cartilage. Sheila has one too.

Worshipping

After Teak, I took off to Temple to meet up with my beloved sisterettes Roselle and Sheila. We had one hell of a great time! Man, I missed those ladies. Did I mention we are virtually related by blood? Sheila is both my and roselle's sorority sponsor. Thing is, I was going to get Roselle for my ninang but I can't coz she was member of the membership committee then so I chose Sheila. Talk about being meant to be!!!

So, anyway, we were talking about that night being THE night. Night of what I wasn't sure but we were keen on making it an unforgettable one. My Geek showed up with his friend Paddington Bear and they definite;y made our night, um, less boring? c",) Paddington Bear is fun to play with. We dared him to kiss the bouncer and letting him do anything he wants to with anyone of us. I was pretty confident in making the bet coz I knew he won't be able to pull it off. Plus, my Geek will surely not let him to anything to moi! Roselle, however, was really freaked out coz Paddington Bear wasn't discreet in making his intentions known.

The loser prevailed. The bouncer shook his fist at Paddington Bear. Hahaha! The dare queen wins!!!

Haha! That Buddha pic doesn't even look like the one in Temple. I just wanna post it. Walang kokontra! Blog ko toh.Ü

Fiesta without the Festivities

It was Fiesta in Bayan last Sunday. Sad, it wasn't as festive as it used to be the past years. It's like nobody had the spirit to actually be on fiesta mode. I approximate the number of Josephians from our batch to be 1/4 of the past. Fiestas used to be one big reunion. Now, it's just torturing yourself under the sun with uncivilized people. Mean term. Hmmm... how else can I describe them? People like me? Haha!

Gun Crazy

Something exciting happened last Sunday. We were at Ninoy's house for his brother sister's debut [18th birthday] when this trike driver burned out his trike right in front of the house. At first, we were joking the guy was mad because someone didn't pay the fare. The smoke even hyped us up. Then, Ninoy's drunk uncle confronted the trike driver who sped away after a few minutes. We thought that was the end of it.

Then he comes back, got off his trike and pulled something from his pants garter while hastily approaching the gate. The weapon turned out to be a gun which drove us scrambling into the house. We were hella scared, pare! Ninoy's parents took care of everything, took the trike driver to the cops and had the whole incident blottered. We, on the other hand, spent the rest of the night taking cover. Hahaha! Paranoid freaks.

IN

Based on recent surveys this statistician has conducted, the next best cyber thing as of 11:40 pm May 4, 2004 is... Weblogs!!! [Friendster still hogging the top spot.] Hahaha! Kidding! As if I'll do anything related to Statistics.

I'd like to welcome Ishee to the weblog circuit!!! She's a sorority sister I SO envy admire. Visit her to find out why!!!Ü

I have a booger stuck up my nose the whole day. I sounded too nasal on the phone. I hate it. Boss was sneezing and sniffing the whole day. Man! He might have infected me!
