drop your pants, timmy... drop... your... pants (LOL)

zzz movies

i am not a movie buff. am quite choosy with films. i haven't thought about my criteria for liking a film but but but you'll find here some movies -- I SLEPT THROUGH IN.

sleepy hollow
the first movie i remember sleeping through in. must be the bleak setting of the movie or probably my disinterest in watching the flick. it was my mom who prodded (forced) me to watch the movie with her and my friend daph.

"you know the story of ichabod crane, don't you?" mom asked. i just shrugged. i didn't know any bit of ichabod crane or any guy who had a crane-y neck.

back then johnny depp wasn't my ultimate MOMD (man of my dreams.. lol.) twas eminem back then.

and now i regret sleeping thru my johnny's film.

brokeback mountain
blame the 3 bottles of vodka ice i drank at my boy's birthday dinner before watching this movie.

or the highland drawl of ennis the penis.

or the still setting of watching the beauty of nature unfold while seated on a soft cushion in a cool cinema.

i slept through this supposedly revolutionary film! i know my gay friends will kill me for this because they love the movie so much. haha!

saw II
me no interesante. but my boy is a fan of hackenslash and wanted me to watch this film even if me no interesante.

i slept thru one-thirds of the movie! teehee!

(n.b. on a positive note, i liked the movie "hostel". and i think i watched saw III but i don't remember watching it. i must have slept thru it too. lol.)

tarzan (walt disney)
i got bored.

spiderman III
yes.

and this is why i'm writing this blog now! haha! all of a sudden, i realize i've slept through quite a number of movies. including this one :p

the best part of my sleeping through this film is that i went off to dreamland during spidey's venom's sandman's and goblin's fight scene! what a lot of ravers say is the best part of the film!   heehee!!!

i was tired (traveled all the way from laguna to the airport to send off my lil cousins, then to makati), sleepy (had 3-5 hrs of sleep that day), and the ambiance of the cinema was just so right for me to snag some zzz's.

i must have missed some 20 minutes of the film(?). bet i should refund PhP 21.43 from the ayala cinemas.

i'd love to watch a rerun of their fight scene, though.

yeah, i slept through these films. hollywood bite meh! =D

new year blahs plus an identity crisis

Happy 2007 (Year of the Pig) everybody! May your bank accounts become round as a pig's belly! Hehehe. Dunno why I'm so money-conscious lately but then I'm currently surrounded by people who insist that "Money makes the world go round".. and indeed, I am beginning to see their point :p So I work my ass off like crazy and delight in the money I get every sweldo day. Work may kill your social life but in the end, you are earning something. It gets addicting in a way.  (One workaholic in process...)

So before I get to say even more boring matter, lemme share with you this "Identity Crisis" fill-in-the-blanks fact sheet I stole from my cousin Mark's blog. Would love to see how you guys would answer this as well :p

Yeah and I'll be clad in a purple cloak with trademark dragonfly glasses.

6. YOUR SOAP OPERA NAME: (favorite grandmother's/grandfather's name, city where you were born)

Korinne Anita Phillips

So American soapish :p

7. YOUR STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first name,first 2 letters of middlename and first 3 letters of the town you grew up in.)

Mij Kafa Man

Obi Wan will sound like a Jamaican talking  when calling out for me!

8. TERRORIST NAME: (middle name spelled backwards, your mom's name spelled backwards)

*end of transmission*

POUND ICE

tequila is an upper

this is supposedly a sunday morn i'm-drunk-i-can't-sleep entry. was too lazy, though, to open my friendster account to blog while i was in this state.

i came up with these thoughts though while in bed after a bout of vodka+yumyum frozen strawberry tequila with my ever-funny orgmates. (oh i wrote this as a draft in my phone)

Tequila is an upper...

Is it just me or is it really tequila that brings you to subliminal unrest?

A sleepless night, it is now 5.30a.

Sandman, come caress me to sleep or maybe strike my head with a shovel!

(oh, gahd, you and your corny thoughts when you're drunk!)

conclusion: slept at 7a. around 1p, i woke up smiling probably of the residue from the fun i had the night before.

my gurl rhyan's hilarious antics:

• rhye to ayla's companions: "hi, i'm sorry i'm drunk!"
• rhye: am i red all over? all: yes. rhye: oh no, oh no, oh no
• rhye to waiter bert: "ahoy there, mate!" (can we mate?)

the rest of the gang's wrong "grammarization":

• are we going to have a meeting? ok.
• what time will we meet? maybe.
• nothings follow.
• observed 5s and safety.
• coated with glossy.
• he cared for you all over your life.

there always will be kodak moments when i'm with these people. pics to follow. adieu!

one thursday aft at glorietta

I like The Vinci Code. lol.

this news clip here reminds me of an internal joke in the tambayan about f*ster profiles that include "Favorite Books: The Vinci Code".

what kind of linguists are the members of the Malaysian Linguistic Association? inadvertently acronymed MALAS. do they even know Leonardo da Vinci?

insane. not even a bit scholarly.

*photo lifted from Pochitocity

trigger happy

my poor babybee... he belongs to this really jologs company where bosses don't know the kind of business they're running and where an "office manager" is trying so hard to ispokening dollars and sound really, really fugly in the process. here's an example of a company memo from ms. "office manager". names have been changed after careful thought. lol.

some parts are fairly written but then there are certain jolts in her grammar that make things sound funny. just because it's written in english doesn't mean it's english.. have a laugh!

As the manager of this office, I believe that everyone of us know that I am responsible in managing the physical and internal aspects of Monsters Inc office which means I am liable for any abuse or misuse of the resources we have. I believe that this is the right time to take this job more seriously than how I did in the past. It doesn't mean that I can no longer spend some time talking, laughing and be-clown to everyone. It only means that I have to put a final line between being me and being the Office Manager of this Company.

In relation to this, I need to clarify some things & set some In-House Rules for everyone.

1>Please be informed that the pantry supplies such as coffee, creamer, juice & sugar doesn't have approved budget by them (Texas) since we haven't hit the targeted date of the project that supports that request.

However, I would supply coffee & creamer + sugar, tea / juice for those who doesn't drink coffee using the petty cash fund, but with limited stock only. Meaning, I would only supply on the 1st and third week of each month with budgeted amount. If we consume it all before the next supplies come, I guess we can all buy for ourselves if we want to.

2>With regards to the reimbursement, I just want to clarify with everybody that I am not allowed to reimburse just anything without prior approval. I already put myself into risk by just considering everything. However, any reimbursement that has been requested before this will still be considered. From this moment on, any purchases of office or pantry supplies without my knowledge and approval will be considered as your own expenses and will not be granted for reimbursement. In cases of project related expenses, you must ask approval from Shirley and Shirley will just inform me if she is signing off for this request or not.

3>We are not so strict with office attire but we have to set some limitations to it. Absolutely no sandos, shorts & slippers allowed during weekdays. Night-shift people are exempted to this rule as long as you are not naked and just make sure that when you have to stay longer in the morning you still look like an employee. For Day-shift people, From Monday to Thursday, all is requested to wear something that would fit in this  area. A semi-business attire will do. Shirts with collar is required for boys.

4>It is a must that before leaving the office, you must turn-off your computer monitor. It is being observed that most of us don't do that. During Friday or Saturday for those in the Night Shift, please make sure that  your monitor & computer is off before leaving. By doing this we can help minimize the consumption of the power supply and avoid untowards incident.

5>In a case than somebody has to work during the Holidays and Weekend, you ask for approval from your immediate supervisor. If approved by them they are the one who is responsible for letting me know about it.

In emergency cases, with the request or instruction from the US people, and suddenly you have to report in the office, with Shirley or Ben being aware of it, they can inform me afterwards.

And also, for Saturday, Sunday & Holidays work, I am requesting everybody to post in our yahoo group your log-in & log-out time. Just go to our yahoogroup, then post and type on the subject field the word log-in or log -out plus the actual PI Time. With that I could summarize and somehow justify the power consumption every month.

In cases of power outage or internet disconnection, it should be fully noted and submitted to me. At least one of you should be responsible enough to just put it into writing for my record keeping when I am not around.

These may give you more works to do but, these are the only things for now that I could think of in monitoring the activity here in the office in connection to the use of resources. If cooperation from you will not be materialized, I will be forced to use other means such as getting records from the log-in, log-out book in the lobby. By the way, as of this  moment, I already instructed the guards at the lobby to have you log-in & out on their logbook especially during the weekends & holidays.

That would be all for now. I am requesting for your full cooperation.

ooh. didn't know there wasn't a bob ong after all.

hahaa! and i pictured bob ong as a chinoy in his 30s who loves walking around in a white shirt, khaki knee-length shorts, and sandals. the typisch guy who cracks jokes in gatherings or one who loves to solve puzzles or show tricks to children.

it turns out bob ong might not be the bob ong i imagine to be! read this article!

bob ong on inq7

i am not a big fan of him. i own a copy of Ang Libro Ni Hudas but that's the only piece of shite i read from him.. his jokey recollection of events may give one a chuckle or two; however, the rest of his writings lean towards the lackluster side of comedy. the adlibs -- conversations between the Devil and the soul -- though, are funny funny. just what if Donita Rose really becomes the Pope in the future? lol.

i love what "Bob" "said" (emailed to the author) in the article though:

“Of course, you also do wonder at times how it feels to be a rock star. But I look at fame and success as Frodo’s ring, it’s not for everyone.”

sa mga trying hard diyan, better luck than neberr. hahaa.

n.b. i just thought. what if this "bob ong" is in reality a girl writer or a group of writers?

no more "v-neat d milke twalay"'s (hopefully!)

you guys should remember me posting a "keys me" bulletin a few weeks back, don't you? well, funny, coz i saw that girl featured on a television show today (wiz ko lang). didn't know who that wreck was until i read threads about her equally-wrecked video. she's alyssa alano, some viva hotbabe. and mann, regal shocker babe must suit her better. lol.

to alyssa, or jenny, the widespread advertisement of "keys me" was actually a blessing in disguise. showbiz has paid more attention to her since then and she earned an "internet diva" title. (i knew it was going to earn her points after all. blech!)

yet as the wiz ko lang show progressed, it showed how alyssa made the clamor to the erroneous rendition of the song a reason to go on speech training and voice lessons (also). the pinoy-australian from zamboanga who sounded like she got a distorter in her larynx might someday, soon, become a good singer with improved diction.

as the show segment was drawing to a close, i thought..

        (jo9 with matching far-away look) 

"the story of alyssa is actually a brilliant anecdote of how somebody ridiculed gained the courage to face her blunder and with candor tried to do something about it."

congratulations to this brave soul!

as for the rest of the pinoy entertainers with related predicaments, do something about the funny diction. practice well on the lyrics before going onstage. there are a lot of websites that showcase lyrics, after all. one is the famous www.lyrics.com. there's no harm in trying to sound right. it's not being burgis (bourgeoisie) or so. oh, unless if you really are spoofing something and you do want to sound ridiculous, that would be additional entertainment for us.

this was the kind of sh!te i was dealing with all day today. fourth day
training at my new job, 8 td's to go and i'll be fed to the dogs. lol. now
i'm dog tired. my mind's been wandering the whole day since i was up
since 6:30:57 (mann, should have awakened at 06:06:06 to give this day more significance :p)... been experiencing some drastic resetting of my late and lazy biological clock the past days; i am still respiring, though. heehee.

off to bed i go. tomorrow's another training day with another type of module and another entity of a teacher but the same set of classmates. hope the canteen changes their menu for lunch, not that battered chicken concealed in butter (buttered chicken daw!) again which i had today!:p

tatah!

sh!te, 08.08.08's a stone's throw away awready! aww...
