What It Feels Like To Be An Extra In A Commercial

May 2, 2008 – 1:27 am

Nagtataka lang ako kung baket everybody was tahimik and walang gumagalaw…I stopped for few seconds…tingin ako sa kaliwa-kanan…naka freeze ang mga tao…what’s happening to these people?? Care ko di ba…so go straight akong tumatawid ng nagkakandirit papasok sa McDonald’s habang feel na feel ko ang long curly hair ko na sumasabay sa hanging Amihan nang biglang may sumigaw ng malakas sa MIKTINIG (microphone)

CUT! CUT! CUT!!! Yung babaeeeeeeee!!!

Suddenly, all eyes were fixed on me. What did I do?

*namutla, nanlaki ang mga mata at napanganga* Shucks!!! May shooting pala!!! Commercial shoot, anak ng tokwa!!! Ang tita nyo chumorva-chorva sa gitna…nag feeling masyado…tuloy nasigawan ng director. Tumingin daw ako sa dinadaanan ko. Malay ko ba sa commercial nyo noh.

Wag nyong mamanahin dahil major humiliation ever.

BITTER PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE BITTER

May 2, 2008 – 12:46 am

I am no USER. Never! I never use people. I am no power tripper. I don’t like corporate chismaks. I do not meddle on corporate affairs. If there’s chismis in the office, I’m always the last to know.

I waited for 2 years to get what I have now.

Kase ganito yun, March 2 yata if I remember it right…was my exit interview. I filed for resignation and March 15 was supposed to be my last day in the office. Everything was all set and I was very happy and excited to go, finally. The manager even signed the letter already.

During the interview, my boss asked me the reasons why I am resigning and everything…and what they can do to change my mind daw…

I am never demanding in real life but since it was a chance to finally voice out what I have been keeping in my heart for years, I demanded something. Nope, it wasn’t actually a DEMAND…it was a PROPOSAL….hmmm not even close to it, I just said what was in my mind. I wanted CHANGE.

So I applied and had a panel interview and after a month, it was granted.

Truth is, that was the 1st and only time that I was able to talk to the manager in all the years I’ve worked for the company….You know why? Kase hinde ako SIPSIP. Ganun lang yun.

I never do that. Nevah.

Magdidildil na lang ako ng asin at mamamatay sa gutom but I will never ever SIPSIP the blood of my superiors. Not that everything’s wrong about it…but I just can’t see myself climbing up the rurok ng tagumpay at the expense of others, if you know what I mean.

I knew it. I was expecting this to happen. This and much more. Are you telling me that I do not deserve this post? Are you questioning my credibility, your honor? I was affected, a little lang. Hurt ang fride ko.

I realized, BITTER PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS BE BITTER AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER THEIR BITTERNESS. Hehehe. I don’t have to explain myself to you or to anyone else. And between the 2 of us, kung sinuman ang MALAKAS SA MANAGEMENT, you know very well that it is YOU.

Life is Precious

May 1, 2008 – 12:40 pm

Life is precious and it becomes more special to us when we learn to enjoy the little everyday blessings we receive. I’d like to believe that in general, I am a happy person. How about you? Aren’t you happy and excited by just simply being alive? You know I realize, life is really short, you have to get all the chances you can to enjoy it. You maybe young, fit and healthy today but sooner or later…you too will grow old and eventually die and leave this world. This is the best time to get life your life insured! There are plenty of companies offering free life insurance quotes, choose the one that works best for you and when you develop any health issues throughout your life, you never have to worry because they have everything covered for you.

Hopia! Mane! Popcorn!

April 30, 2008 – 11:40 pm

I love popcorns! I love its smell and crispness. Do you know how they started? History says that Popcorn was originally grown in Mexico but somehow it had spread globally through India, China and Sumatra. Its history dates back over 5,000 years ago. Wow!

Whenever I watch movies with my ~~date~~ friends, either at home or in a movie house, I never miss out on popcorns. My sister Inday Mao Mao loves it too. Her favorite is Kettle Corn, by the way. I still buy her a pack of Kettle Corn whenever I drop by at Shopwise. What if I buy one of these popcorn machines and put up my own popcorn business someday, hahaha, and then walk the streets of Manila while shouting “hopia, mani, popcorn!”. Hahaha. Not a smart idea, I know.

High Sea Trading

April 30, 2008 – 10:35 pm

TAX!!! I hate it! I just got may payslip today and I was shocked to see how much the Governement is taking away from my salary. Grrrr. Really hate taxes! It’s everywhere! Even fast food chains and restaurants are not exempted from Value Added Tax (VAT).

This is why some merchants prefer doing High Sea Sale, to avoid the burden of local Sales Tax or VAT. You familiar with exporting/importing High Sea Sugar? This is how it works, the seller is going to look for the sugar buyer while the ship is on its way sailing on the international waters (also called HIGH SEAS, which is under no jurisdiction), once the seller found a buyer, the buyer becomes the importer. Or traditional import/export method, the buyer has to pay the Customs duty. But now the buyer does not have to pay the Local Sales tax / VAT because the movement of sugar from one place to another is not seen as a sale but rather as simple transport from one location. If you want to know more about High Seas Sale, be sure you check out highseasugar.com, all the information you need is right there on their website.

LUAU Party, Family Fun Day at 9 Waves

April 30, 2008 – 8:32 pm

BIKINI OPEN 2008 Finalist (Faerie Edition)

That’s Gloria Macapal-ang-mukha, Sweet, Babe, Jen Rohsendahl, Rhoda (pronounced Rhow-Duh) and the winner (sori, I forgot yer name)!!

We had such a nice time with the annual Family Fun Day at 9 waves last last week…I don’t remember when pero basta this April lang sya. Aliw ever ang mga faeries. Ang kukulit…and infairness, they’re all smart!!! Type ko si Babe…originally from Davao, dating stand-up comedian and sobrang galing kumanta.

Pero walang tatalo sa Fun Day last year kahit na 2 lang ang finalist ng Faerie Edition. Very spontaneous yung Q&A part. There were 5 judges and both of them got 5 questions each. It was like watching Allan K. and Pooh together. Ang sakit ng lalamunan ko kakatawa at kakasigaw. Here are some famous lines I got from last year’s Bikini Open Q&A:

contestant #2 - “I do believe that black is beautiful but over black is CHARCOAL” — pointing to Contestant #1, being blacker than he/she is.

“Ang Dyosang nagmula sa langit, bumaba sa lupa, ang nagpatibok sa puso ni Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez!”

Kung ikaw ay isang halaman, ano ka? — “Kung ang kamatis nakakapagpalinaw ng mata, ang talong, nagpapatirik ng mata” …therefore, talong daw sya.

Who is your ideal person ? — “my mother is my best ideal person”
