shi*t, truth, and everything in between

June 20- our Yansab project had its 50% milestone celebration. It was held at Palms Country Club. And because of the festivity, the csa group has to perform something. It was originally a contest but 2 days before the event, it became just plain performance.

Ideas flooded in my head and totoy bibo was top of the list. I asked poy, what’s in their head and he said something about the boys singing “May way” (hopefully they don’t get shot) and then acting from the engrs and the designers, passing on the vendor data, then the checkers will have to approve the sketch until the lead approves the stuff for IFC di blah di blah… Got dizzied with all the characters. So I just gave a wave and said “ nah, we think differently”..

Practice came.. and guess what role they gave me? The first angel who’s gonna pass the sheets around. Like “huwhaaat?”. There’s three of us but of course, I have to revolt but mam Portia had my name on it so what can I do?.. As the practice goes, I came to accept my fate and did funny floating dances..  the task wasn’t so bad. I feel lucky I wasn’t the third angel who has to do some drama stuff and with the longest exposure.. Pen and I were laughing until the last minute practice.. they freaking decided to make me the third angel. Holy shin! Because I could act better? And so for the rest of the practice till 2 hrs before the departure to palms.. I was in my most immature behavior. i mean, everybody has a role, tapos sasaluhin ko dahil nagi-inarte ang isa? dba??

So what happened? Well, there were adjustments in the dramatization. And I don’t need to do the sad and low stuff. I decided to cover my face with the A1 sketch. We lined up and it’s only I realize how embarrassing to wear the wings. The only one in the huddle. Have you seen sadako?? Wahahaha

I do not know, but the exposure was kindof overwhelming.. I see smiles, and  the dept manager was there (their table was in the middle front of course). In the days to come.. I do not know. It was a shameful way to surface above a number of new hires.

This morning, I got this weird chat.. I know I know.. but who gets noticed this way? And for the name of the person.. itago nlng po naten

I know mama had this dream of me becoming a beauty queen (I think all mothers are), and though my confidence is strange, I don’t think, something like this, will i ever… never.. pull off..

I’m a two week old resident of sta. ana. yup you read me. After almost 8 years of residing in Sampaloc, the boys and I are adjusting to the rides and sights in the place. For about a week I had been stopping drivers and come near the front and ask “ma, dadaan po ba to ng Puregold?”’ so it’s either he says no or tells me where to ride. Actually our place is nearer Alabang (less P5 to my bus fare, which is transferred to Joban’s baon). It allows me to wake up around 530 unlike the usual 5am. Also, the place may be about 50 steps to Makati boundary line. Not sure but I think we are already under the jurisdiction of Binay (the mayor).

Our place… well, spacier than before, not to mention cheaper… still in about a few months because hell moving out is very expensive. You have to pay the trucks to carry the stuff and the pulis kotong (grrr), and other adjustments =o). Last weekend I bought white curtains for the window. I discovered that curtain rods can be bought in the hardware store (very cheap but elegant). I had the urge to want everything new – cabinet, tables, computer table, bed…. Budget will be looser as soon as Paulo gets a job (Yipeeee!) The area is a ride away to Rockwell and Powerplant Mall and two short rides to Glorietta. Wahahahaha…. The place is so classy and a feast for my colorful eye.

The thing about moving out lets you realize a part of you being a Nomad but count million of manila populace like us. The important thing is having the power to afford it. Your independent belt firmer and it helps to make me wiser. You can see how much you can upgrade your lifestyle and see how much of your freedom you can use. The rewarding part is…..it makes the boys and me closer. This is one of the fun and hardship in our life. The downpart?.… Paulo and I had a different vision of what the room would look like (ayyye naku! can’t he leave that to me?????)
