No coffee.

Spent most part of the day out of the office. Met up at the Block for lunch before visiting our clients aka sales call-ing. Hehe. Had lunch at Wham burger then settled for coffee at Gonuts Donuts. Kinda sucks when your spending capacity is increased, haha. When we got back to the office, Ms. Jas, our boss, said "Ang lakas ng pang-amoy niyo ha". Apparently, Ma'am Wineth, the Executive Housekeeper, was throwing a merienda beeday bash at the sports bar. Wee! More food! What was good about it, the tv there was so big, and it was an admu-dlsu game being aired. I think it was a replay though. So more food, plus FIC pistachio ice cream... I mean, wouldn't that make anybody's bad day, not so bad? So we were happy and well-fed... did a bit of work before ditching the office, but then... Genee had to joke Mr. Mohnani about giving us some Friday's chicken fingers... no--ooo... I mean... yessss. We happened to pass by Mr. Mohnani who was seated outside the sales office, apparently, he was ordering some food from Friday's. Genee joked about the cajun chicken fingers. He said sure, and we tried so much to politely decline but he wouldn't have it. I guess he was feeling a bit generous today, so good for us. He had actually already ordered the chicken fingers to be brought up to our office even before we accepted his kind gesture. We had to walk back towards our office, and then Mr. Mohnani said that he was rewarding such hard-working and ever-reliable account execs... the praise for our effort was such a nice thing to hear. We said thank you and I pretended to be so touched as to fake a sob, then the learned jokes started coming in and instead, we all just started to laugh. I was the account exec who handled Mr. Mohnani's event at the hotel, which is why he ended up calling me the learned one, he apparently found out that I graduated cum laude. Hehe. Well, what a fruitful day. But I stand corrected by Liz, it was a "food-full" day.

The office has been a tad bit suffocating lately, since our coffee privileges have been taken away (coffee is a privilege, who knew?). Damn Cap'n waiter, jealous of everything everybody else has. Grr. So bye bye hawaiian coffee. Lisette and I have been greatly affected by the lack of coffee in our systems, we've started withdrawal syndrome already, headaches, grumpiness, slight fever... it's really crappy. It started yesterday really, it was such a freakin' crappy day that we couldn't stand being at the office. So what we did to "escape" was we had lunch out and then we visited clients in the area, oh, and then we had coffee at Baang. I have to say the chicken at tropical hot is the bomb. As in. But their coffee.. taste like crappo. After we finished our lunch, ranting sesh began, with of course comments from the GM that our department is spoiled (hope they're not refering to me alone haha). Plus the envious Cap'n waiter (who is chakaaaaa!!!!). And the fact that we are no longer allowed to eat in the office... but then we can't help it sometimes... grr. Thank gawd for the coffee break at baang which momentarily relieved my stress (and lisette's too). The Iced coffee raspberry is a must for coffee drinkers who don't like their coffee concoctions too sweet that you can't taste the freakin' coffee anymore. Yum.

What struck me the most about our conversation wasn't the ranting, it was actually, when Genee and I got up to smoke outside, Lisette laughed and said that if she and genee combined "bisyos", equals me!!! Weeee! I went like, omigawd! Dami ko palang bisyo. Haha. I thought about it a bit, then came to a conclusion... if I quit all my bisyos, mah gawd, I'd have a lot more moolah. But then, it was quickly countered by the other part of me which said... hell no. So here I am, same old, same old.
