Design your own Havis!

It's that time of the year when you get to spruce up your favorite pair of Havis to make them even more fab! Unfortunately it's on May 2-4 (mall hours) at Rockwell. I am not going to be here=( Out of town with the family. So this message is for my friends who are going: *cough cough cough* *hint hint hint*

hahaha

I lost my E61i

A friend of mine once said that if you lose something valuable, it means that something possibly bad was supposed to happen to you, but that valuable something took the fall for you, which is why it got lost/stolen. Another comforting thought shared by an officemate of mine was that, since I lost my phone, there's something better coming my way, or, that I am meant for better things. True enough, the US embassy granted my Dad, Karlo and I a 10 year multiple entry visa. But I still lost my phone. Okay. Am trying not to be so negative.

But, really, woe is me. I think I needn't say much, the title of this blog says it all. Somebody stole my phone inside the front office, would you believe? It has been 3 days since I saw my beautiful red phone, and I'm still bummed out about it. 50% about where it got lost, and 50% because of the phone, it was new! It actually got lost in a restricted area so you can imagine my disbelief, since only the guest service associates are present in that area, and me of course, since they were checking in my guests. I was there to help facilitate the changes in the rooming list. Sucks. I trusted those people, they were my friends... that place was my second home! We even called it the "Sales Extension Office".

I have never in my life woken up with puffy eyes! Up until this incident. And though I have received a lot of sympathetic words from co-workers (in disbelief as well), it still bums me out that the person who stole it must have been a co-worker. I am just hoping that better things are yet to come (aside from my 10year us visa).

To whoever stole it: $&#(&)@)!!!!!

Amici

I went to work 7 days last week. Oh wait, 7 days= 1 week! No rest day for me. Imagine that haha. I think I want to start looking for a Monday to Friday job now. Had a function yesterday, a debut for 150 pax. But anyhoot, enough about work! Had a very fun and fulfilling weekend, most of it spent with-- Jed! Finally tried out Amici along Tomas Morato on a lazy sunday afternoon just before I went to work. Call it late lunch. The pasta's very good. Their gelato? Even better! First flavor you have to try is of course the nioccolato (I wonder if I spelled it right?) and then you can go haywire with the rest of the flavors. Blueberry. Coconut. Sansrival. Strawberry. Stratciatella (Okay, did I spell that right again?) Coffee. And other flavors. I think I'd like to go back there since am such a pasta freak and I like the taste of their gelatos. Downside... no smoking area. Hahaha.

I just realized I haven't posted new pictures for the longest time. Hmm. I'll start posting pictures after I come back from my beach trip and bangkok trip. Wee. I can't wait to take my leave! I have been so looking forward to the beach this summer. No summer of mine is complete without a trip to the beach! I'm just glad that my May sched is a bit more loose. Since I purposely requested not to be given a lot of functions this May to be able to take a leave.

Am off to lunch with the girls. Double thinking whether to get a gelato after or a big ass chowking halo-halo. Hehe.

Bottomless Cocktails

Back to back functions at the hotel. It was heck of a long saturday night. But then like I said, you work hard, you party harder. Apparently, I think I just drank "harder" hahaha. Started with beers at Marina with the Brewery boys. I call them that because they work for San Miguel. Actually, this night was Genee's night, I was there merely to accompany her. But apparently, now I can understand why people get drunk at bars, they must have been a wee bit bored. Hahaha. With no eye-candy (he was in the other table) and potential sights, I guzzled my margaritas and vodka-sprites like a serena va der woodsen before her abrupt exit from high society. Haha. "Free flowing" drinks care of the boys. I couldn't wait for r&b to start playing, literally couldn' wait because I was drunk. But not piss drunk. Asked Jed to pick me up, and voila, I got home in one piece. Hehe. My hero.

The other whammy I created was that I left Genee alone in the hotel room which I was suppose to sleep in together with her. Anyhoot, I went back to the hotel the following morning to make ammends after abandoning her. I brought her a Krispy Kreme donut. And true enough, aside from swapping stories about what went on after we parted ways, we ate from the breakfast buffet, and all was fine again. Hehe.

What happens when you finish your work in advance?

There are just days that you really cannot help but get bored and sleepy at work. This day was that day for me. Since I had finished majority of my work during the previous days, I wasn't left with that much to do. So I "busied" myself by tinkering with my phone, surfing the net and playing some online games. Haha. Then I decided to do the additional "assignments" my boss gave me (and to my officemates too). And then I had the banquet contract signed by the San Miguel Brewery Manager. I guess I just had to look for work, more work, to prevent me from falling asleep. Hahaha.

I don't really know what to write this very moment, as my life revolves much around work, friends and my sweetiepie (hahahahahaha).
