About Me…. You know me… we’ve met before….. I can still hear your laughter, I still remember your smile. I never left, look in the mirror, do you see me?…. I can see myself in your eyes…. I have always been there waiting, anticipating the day that you would remember…Anxious for your return…. Now do you remember?... we have been here before… long ago or just yesterday…perhaps we shared a moment…or connected with a smile…close your eyes…and you will see…

Flight attendant anyone?

MANILA, 10-17-2006 - I received a call from AIR PHILIPPINES saying that I"ve got an interview with them on Thursday.

AIRPHILS: 'ilan yung height mo?
AKO: 5'7" ata

AIR PHILS: 'you wear braces?'
AKO: no

AIR PHILS: 'glasses or contact lenses?"
(patay tau dyan.. :) AKO: 'naku, hindi ho'

AIR PHILS: 'ah so 20/20 ang vision mo.. Okay Ms. Mendina pls go to this add ***** for an interview on thursday 8am ok wear skirt and look for Mr. Blah blah blah' (hindi ko talaga maintindihan yung babae kaya hinanap ko na lang yung address nung office nila)
AKO: 'Ah ok.. ANU PO BANG COMPANY TO?'

HEHEHEHE

Ginising ko si Babe para sabihin ang magandang balita. CAREER MOVE. ayos. "Kelangan ko daw magpalda.." sabi ko sa kanya. pakingshet naman! Wala talga akong palda sa tanang buhay ko! Ibig sabihin kelangan ko rin ng isang matinding footwear! Bwisit talaga! Lagi nga lng akong nakatsinelas kahit pumapasok sa opisina namen. "Bili na lang tau bukas sa ukay jan sa kanto kung wla takbo na lang tau sa sm makati" si Babe ulit.

The next day nawala yung wallet ko naiwan ko ata sa cr. LAGOT. Bulilyaso ata ang interview ko bukas.Buti na lng meron akong pinsan na nagbigay ng 1thousand saken. Ayos. Blessing. Me pambili nako.

Uwi sa bahay. Ginising si Babe. Toothbrush. Takbo sa SM. Nakakuha kami sa Glorietta ng isang CUTE na skirt. Medyo lace ata yun. Binayaran namen.

I woke up early on the day of the interview. Babe arrived at around 7am. My dala syang breakfast. 'Kaya mo yan babe.. magaling ka eh' habang kumakain kami.

Nagtaxi. Binaba ako nung driver dun sa gate ng Philippine Airlines. Aaarrggghh! Kelangan ko lakarin yung isa pang gate. Syempre gagi nakaskirt ako hahaha (hindi namin napansin na see-through pla yung skirt kea nakacycling ako hahaha). Pagpasok ko ng gate merong pumipirma sa logbook na babaeng nakaformal attire. Taena nanliit ako ampucha! Ang layo nung hitsura ng damit ko sa kanya. Naka flats pako! Pero carry lang.. pumirma din ako. Ginaya ko yung pangalan nung contact person niya hindi ko nga kasi naintindihan nung sinabi kung sinong hahanapin ko. Hayaan mo na wla naman sigurong wrong answer dun sa logbook ni MANONG GUARD.

Wala pa pala yung panliliit ko kanina. Nung pumasok ako dun sa mismong office, parang gusto ko nang lumubog. PARANG SCREENING NG BINIBINING PILIPINAS! Lecheng buhay to oo! Samantalang naka blush on lang ako atsaka lip balm (LIP BALM LANG TLGA, NDI LIPSTICK!). Tas ang gulo gulo pa ng buhok ko. Hindi ako nagdadala ng suklay e. Siguro mga 80 ung nandun. Yung iba daw kasi hindi naman tinawagan. Nagwalk-in lang. Nag log ulit ako dun sa logbook nung ladyguard.. Wala akong ballpen! hehehe "Sa susunod magdala ka ng ballpen ha" si Lady Guard yun. Tiningnan ko lang sya ng masama.

Height screening daw muna.. Dun pa lnag madami na bumagsak. Eh panu 5'3" ung requirement nila.. sabi nman ni LADY GUARD, "o yung mga 5'3" jan, 5'2" lang dito ha". Ang saklap naman nung kapalaran nung ibang nakita ko, ni hindi pa nga sila nakakausap ndi na sila pasado. Tapos yung timbang naman. Dapat daw proportionate sa height. Tapos yun impact interview na. Siguro mga 50 na lng kmi na natira dun. By 5 yung interview. Sabay sabay kaung huhugutin mula dun sa kwarto at ihaharap sa mga panelist.

INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN 3 MINUTES.

E di nag introduce. Yun lang pala eh. Expert ata ako jan noh. Marami rami na rin akong interview na dinaanan. Ganyan din ang pasok nila. NAGKAKATALO LANG KUNG GANU KATAGAL YUNG GUSTO NILANG MARINIG.

Ako lang yung tinanong nung mga panelist na yun pucha. Dapat pala di ko na sinabi na "I AM WORKING FOR AN AIRLINE". Hmmmm.... Nakita ko sa reaksyon nila. Sabi ko na nga ba, yun ang alas ko eh.

SENIOR PILOT: 'For what airline?'
AKO: 'US AIRWAYS, Mr. Pilot'

Ayun at sinundan pa yun nung sandamungkal na tanong.

Pinalabas kami. After 3 minutes daw malalaman na namen yung result. Sabi nung apat na kasabay ko baka ako lang daw ang matanggap kasi saken lng naging interesado yung limang panelist. sabi ko "hindi yan"

MAKALIPAS ANG THREE MINUTES...

Ayun, WLA DAW PUMASA SAMEN..!

....at wala ding pumasa dun sa naunang 25 samen...

Charged to experience.

And here's my favorite part of his speech:

"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist."

And what will you have to say when Philippine Government stated that The Great Obama can learn from GMA?

Here's my favorite hirit from Sen. Ping Lacson:

"Ay oo, marami siyang matututunan, yung hindi ma-impeach kahit merong mga ebidensya."

Thank you for your interest, and it had better be genuine and non-sexual. Please allow four to six years for processing.

You will be contacted in writing if you are approved.  Please do not try to call or write (since you probably can't, and it would cause you injury).  If your application is rejected, you will be notified by two gentlemen wearing white ties carrying violin cases (you might want to watch your back). 


To prepare yourself, start studying Daddy's Rules for Dating.


Daddy's Rules for Dating
 
Your dad's rules for your boyfriend (or for you if you're a guy):

Rule One:

If you pull into my driveway and honk you'd better be delivering a package, because you're surely not picking anything up.  

Rule Two:

You do not touch my daughter in front of me. You may glance at her, so long as you do not peer at anything below her neck. If you cannot keep your eyes or hands off of my daughter's body, I will remove them.  

Rule Three:

I am aware that it is considered fashionable for boys of your age to wear their trousers so loosely that they appear to be falling off their hips. Please don't take this as an insult, but you and all of your friends are complete idiots. Still, I want to be fair and open minded about this issue, so I propose this compromise: You may come to the door with your underwear showing and your pants ten sizes too big, and I will not object. However, in order to ensure that your clothes do not, in fact come off during the course of your date with my daughter, I will take my electric nail gun and fasten your trousers securely in place to your waist.

Rule Four:

I'm sure you've been told that in today's world, sex without utilizing a 'Barrier method' of some kind can kill you. Let me elaborate, when it comes to sex, I am the barrier, and I will kill you.

Rule Five:
It is usually understood that in order for us to get to know each other, we should talk about sports, politics, and other issues of the day. Please do not do this. The only information I require from you is an indication of when you expect to have my daughter safely back at my house, and the only word I need from you on this subject is: 'early.'  

Rule Six:

I have no doubt you are a popular fellow, with many opportunities to date other girls. This is fine with me as long as it is okay with my daughter. Otherwise, once you have gone out with my little girl, you will continue to date no one but her until she is finished with you. If you make her cry, I will make you cry. 

Rule Seven:

As you stand in my front hallway, waiting for my daughter to appear, and more than an hour goes by, do not sigh and fidget. If you want to be on time for the movie, you should not be dating. My daughter is putting on her makeup, a process than can take longer than painting the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of just standing there, why don't you do something useful, like changing the oil in my car? 

Rule Eight:

The following places are not appropriate for a date with my daughter: Places where there are beds, sofas, or anything softer than a wooden stool. Places where there is darkness. Places where there is dancing or holding hands. Places where the ambient temperature is warm enough to induce my daughter to wear shorts, tank tops, midriff T-shirts, or anything other than overalls, a sweater, and a goose down parka - zipped up to her throat. Movies with a strong romantic or sexual themes are to be avoided; movies that feature chain saws are okay. Hockey games are okay. Old folks homes are better.  

Rule Nine:

Do not lie to me. I may appear to be a potbellied, balding, middle-aged, dimwitted has-been. But on issues relating to my daughter, I am the all-knowing, merciless god of your universe. If I ask you where you are going and with whom, you have one chance to tell me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I have a shotgun, a shovel, and five acres behind the house. Do not trifle with me.  

Rule Ten:

Be afraid. Be very afraid. It takes very little for me to mistake the sound of your car in the driveway for a chopper coming in over a rice paddy near Hanoi. When my Agent Orange starts acting up, the voices in my head frequently tell me to clean the guns as I wait for you to bring my daughter home. As soon as you pull into the driveway you should exit the car with both hands in plain sight. Speak the perimeter password, announce in a clear voice that you have brought my daughter home safely and early, then return to your car - there is no need for you to come inside. The camouflaged face at the window is mine.

View from the terrace. Isn't it breath taking?

That's Quezon City and  Ortigas  :P




Photos were taken last Saturday after some spaghetti for merienda. Via's super dad was busy with his PC and PSP in his room, making him an absentee father during the photo session.

This is what you call yaya moment.

And I was the wonderful photographer.

Enojy the pictures and the views fellas!

After 8 precious years of knowing each other. He's such a sweetless human being I love him so much.

Happy Anniversary Babe!

Got this as a gift from Gab, because I asked for it haha I've been dying to have this since I first saw it in Indigomanila's multiply site but got me thinking if I should spend that much for socks. It's always easier to ask for it than buy it yourself of course :)

And since it's the season for giving (oh well last month was), she obediently granted my wish!
Thanks Tita Gab!

P.S.

As expected, the elders thought its really a shoes.

I don't want to sound so scrutinizing.

But what would you think of these phrases from a man blogging about her balikbayan cousin?:

*we got back home and exhausted she went to bed already, oh she first showered (wish i could join LOL),

*yep no doubt she looks beautiful and she's sexy.. any guy would fall on their knee's on her

*yeah i know, any guy would drop on their knees seeing her in this outfit, and yeah she caught some attention from the crowd falling in line and i can see their eyes getting bigger like looking at their favorite food LOL,, anyways that's the most they can do while im around, you can look but you can't touch like i can LOL

Pardon me, but I think that's too incestuous.

Duh.

Ugh.

I know you'll hate me.

                                                       Via's diaper loot LOL


Oo na. Nang dahil uli sa GTalk. Tee Hee!

More affordable than branded but comparable quality. Magastos magka-baby. From the milk formula, nappies, their toiletries, to pedia visits (and the vaccines, which IMHO, are really overpriced na, but anything for our little gems right?). So we got to have our options open.

I got myself one pack of Fitti Aloe first. And I was really impressed. Gusto ko na itry lahat when I stumble upon GT's diaper thread. Pero hiyangan din talaga. Been hearing a lot of good reviews about the Teddy and Animalandia, but unfortunately, Via was not hiyang to those two. With Teddy, lagi sya may front leak (since dapa siya matulog), and Animalandia gave my Via's pempem really really bad rashes.


                            Winny cruiser, Skips, Fitti Combo and Animalandia (top)

Now I'm back to Fitti Aloe (or combo whichever is available) kasi dun lang talaga sya hiyang. And oh Winny Cruiser also. This is my current fave as her overnight nappy. Absorbency, very good. Fitting, very good. I alternate Fitti and Skips as her daytime nappy.

Been hearing a lot of raves about this soap in GirlTalk, kaya nacurious naman ako hehehe Contacted Sis Snow, a fellow GTalker and initially ordered 15pcs. When I told hubby about it sabi ang OA ko naman daw. So my orders down to 10. That's 5pcs Black Pearl and 5pcs Rice Bran.

                                                   hoarding mode: ON

Sis Snow and I met at McDonalds, beside Ever Gotesco Commonwealth. When we got home, I immediately unload the soaps from my bag. Hubby and I fell in love with the scent of Rice Bran! Smells like chocolate daw sabi ni Babe, sarap kainin hehehe. And I totally agree. He was the first one to try both soaps. Kasi nauna siya maligo. And I was too excited to know his verdict. When he came out of the shower, I immediately smelled him and asked how was it. Two thumbs up. Said the Black Pearl has a minty feeling, thus very refreshing. And lathers very well.

                      sample cuts of shea butter, papaya goatsmilk and strawberry soap

Haven't tried the soaps for myself. Having said that, I'll leave you for now. Gotta go to the bathroom and spoil myself. I'll keep you posted :P
