office invasion

last week, the office was invaded by artists. they don't have any business in the office. they don't have any recording. they went to the office because they had nothing better to do but hang out. most especially in my cubicle. so that left me with three afternoons of absolutely no work. no work done means piled up work. great.

the Seven-E were waiting for a meeting. i don't know who among them came up with the idea to kill time in the office before their meeting. one chatted on the phone. one played Tantra, as usual. the rest were either listening to music in the music room or watching videos of themselves dancing. oooooh-kay.

Roxy was here was three days. yeah, she was the one hogging my pc in the afternoons. she even asked me to go to the mall with her. duh-uh. she's having problems at home that's why she opted to hang out in the office. sigh.

Norwegian and Same Family Name With Brandon were in and out of the office as if they were in a computer shop.

one afternoon, i opened the music room and voila! there was an artist lying on the floor, one artist was playing the guiter, two were goofing around and the other two surfing the internet. hu-waw. where did you all come from?

i'm glad that the artists are comfy in the office because that means we have "good" relationship with them. but with all the artists coming in and out of the office last week, i became paranoid because Not The Photographer might warn me that they are disrupting work already. this made me sad. i hope this will remain as my paranoia.

back at work

i'm back at work and i can say it's a pretty good welcome-back week. i'm not stressed at all. okay, i admit. i'm waaaaay tired today after babysitting Hunky Panday for 5 hours. but he's worth all those hours haha :)

about to end

since sunday, my mobile has been on silent mode because i don't want to take any call or answer any text message from my officemates, artists, handlers and road managers. i can actually last a day without checking my mobile. i check my phone right before i hit the sofa. i just want to savor my remaining days here.

yet, this day has been full of reminders that my leave is about to end.

Reminder 1:
since my fone is on silent mode, any incoming call or message will make my phone vibrate. around 8 AM, my nerves were rattled and i was forced to open my eyes when OJT Killer texted me something like (sorry, deleted the message already) "hey wake up! time for work." i just had to tell him that i am still in davao. i could see right through OJT Killer's intention of texting me. he was in the international airport, at the pre-boarding area, since he was bound for bangkok. he thought he could envy me. ha! better luck next time :)

Reminder 2:
about lunch time, i got a call from my officemate regarding our precious <insert sarcasm here> Grand Questor's contract. i thought i had that sorted out in my bilin list but our lawyer insisted on something else. argh! so that would mean i will sort that out again when i come back. he even told me that the 2 new flavors of Pepsi are already available at the convenience store in the office building. i just couldn't see the connection between the contract we were discussing and the 2 new soda flavors.

Reminder 3:
i logged in my office email and saw this message from my teammate who's just recently joined us.

Hello, musta ka na? si Curlash to, wala pa kasi yung kaberks nating si Bratty, kaya, kwentuhan muna tayo. Anung masasabi mo kay Bratty? Hahaha, kailangan mag-ingat muna tayo, parating na kasi siya, baka mabatukan niya ako.. hahaha.. hindi, pero seriously.. sobrang subsob sa trabaho yan.. bakit kaya? hahaha.. Ay! andito na siya, muntik na tayong mahuli.. sige, sa susunod na lang tayo magkwentuhan, pag wala siya.. :)

OMG! i think she's going crazy already. she wrote this ringback tone script as part of her email. she even called me today to ask where she's eating lunch. jeez. how subtle can you tell me that i need to go back to work already?

Reminder 4:
Celeb Brand Manager texted me to help him out today because he has 2 big meetings tomorrow. meaning presentations, stats and analysis. no fucking way was he serious right? he knew i was still on leave. too bad, i was so hooked playing Legend of Mana when he texted that i totally forgot to reply. bwahahaha :)

yeah, yeah, yeah. i'll be there monday. relax ok?

crazy for you

I'm crazy for you
Touch me once and you'll know it's true

It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my kiss
I'm crazy for you, crazy for you


- Madonna, Crazy For You

i've been humming this song since thursday night when we couldn't continue the song after the first chorus. hahaha. pathetic alcoholics.

how can i be in 2 places at the same time?

my lola's interment will be on may 7, here in davao. OJT Killer's and Caramba's wedding will be on may 7 as well, there in makati. so tell me, how can i be in those 2 places? nah, i know there's no real world solution. haha :) i'm just wishing. i need to pay my last respects for my lola. i have a lot to thank her for especially her gift to me last year. i so want to be at the wedding not only because they are very good friends but also because i was at the engagement party 2 years ago, i tagged along with the couple in one of the wedding preps meeting, i distributed some of their wedding invites, etc.

oh what the heck. i already made my choice. i'm here in davao until the 15th of may.

brand confusion

this happened in one of the parlor games of our last mall event.

host: ano ang i te text para "Maging Kapamilya, KaText, at Kaibigan"?
contestant: Kapamilya SIM Card?

i almost ran out of breath from laughing.

and then it made me think if Kapamilya SIM Card has more recall than Kapamilya KaText? or if the contestant is a superfan like Superfan. haha :)

sofa

since i technically do not live here anymore, and we have lots of house guests at the moment, i sleep in the sofa. great, just great. lengthwise, i am longer so i have to curl up my legs. as for the width, i can barely move. once my sister wakes up, i take over her bed and continue my sleep there.

i hope this sleeping arrangement will not last my whole stay here.
