Bits and Pieces

1.        I discovered the best place to hang-out by yourself and read. Changi Airport coffee shops (Starbucks, Coffee Bean etc). Last night – I remembered that I need to pay my  Amex bill.  There is a American Express Forex booth in Changi Airport that also accepts Credit card payments. Since wala naman akong ginagawa – I decided to go to the airport and pay my bill. Dahil tambak na rin ang mga magazines na nabili ko — all waiting to be read… naisip ko na mag-coffee na rin at magbasa.  After paying my bills — I bought a decaf café Americano and a plain bagel + crean cheese sa Starbuck. I turned on my Ipod…. and read my magazine. Medyo naaliw yata ako… di ko napansin ang oras.  An hour or so later… natapos ko na ang aking coffee and magazine… I decided to head back home. Bakit sya best place? May sense of anonymity kasi.  Walang nakakakilala sa iyo. The other people are also busy with their own things .. kaya di ka nila papansinin.  So you can get lost in what you are doing without worrying what other people thinks.  It’s the best place to be around people but feel that you are alone. Makes sense? If not… okay lang … kanya kanya naman kasing trip sa buhay talaga…. J  

2.        Okay…. Can’t help it…. Need to have an entry about Wendy. Hehehe…. Sa ngayon naaawa na ako sa kanya. She’s being booed everywhere she goes … sa Araneta.. sa ASAP… Kawawa naman. The people do really hate her no? Sabagay… sya naman ang may kasalanan…. But still.. when will the hatred end?  Advice? Tigilan na nya ang pagsasabi ng “Tao lang po ako… nagkakamali”. It’s really irritating.  All she have to say is that she’s wrong and she’ll do her best to win back the people. Baka sakali pang tigilan na sya ng tao.  She should also stop from exploiting her financial status… Oo na… galing ka na sa hirap… madami  ka na problema… well so do millions of other people… So… being poor does not mean you are entitled to fame and fortune as compared to those who are financially fortunate. Bottom line — its talent, charisma, and hardwork that really counts.   

3.        Sa The Buzz – Wendy was asked is she loves Bruce… she said she have feelings for Bruce… pero she needs to sort out some things first. Hmmm… bakit sa loob ng bahay iba ang statement nya? Kawawang Bruce… Day 1 pa lang yan outside the house. 

 4.        Transformers (the movie) have already opened. Pero di ko pa rin ito napapanood. I was trying to book online for Sunday sa GV Max in Vivo City… but all the good seats are already filled up. Ayaw ko naman panoorin ito sa ibang movie house. I like the GV Max theater in Vivo City. Kung yung movie na papanoorin nyo ay hitik (hehehe.. lalim) sa action at special effects… this is the cinema for you. The surround sound is really good. Parang part ka na ng movie hehehe… The cinema itself is big… kaya less ang chances na mablock ang view mo if in case may “big headed individual” na maupo sa harapan mo. Its also relatively new – kaya hindi pa amoy paa yung mga chairs… still very comfortable. Even the aisle between the rows are wider.  Kaya pag may dadaanan….. walang  “face-ass” situation hehehehe… Kaya its this theater or wag na lang… hehehe.. joke lang…. pag wala talaga… tiis na lang sa iba… J  

5.        Most played songs sa aking ipod since last week :

Only Love,  Forevermore – Jed Madela – from Only Human                 

Only Reminds me of You, Crazy for You – MYMP – from New Horizon                

Harana, Summer Breeze, Here Comes the Sun - The Company – from Destination: Bossa                

Himala, Man of Steel, May Tama Ako – Jay-R Siaboc – from Hiling                

Promise Me – Lea Salong – from Inspired

You Get what you give, Someday We’ll Know – New Radicals – from Maybe You’ve Bee Brainwashed Too

                

Clocks – Coldplay and Buena Vista Social Club – from Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – Coco Freeman featuring U2 – from Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba

She Will Be Loved – Maroon 5 and Buena Vista Social Club - from Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba 

I bought a few OPM cds when I was in the Philippines… kaya ito pinapakinggan ko ngayon.  The New Radicals album and the  Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba was introduced to me by my friend Vida.  Kung gusto ko na medyo marelax… I listen to the Compay’s new album Destination: Bossa and the Rhythms Del Mundo: Cuba album.  I finally gave in to the Bossa craze hehehe…….  

6.        I was in a “jologs” mode last weekend.  I watched “You Got Me” and “Ang Cute ng Ina Ko”  in vcd.  Nakakatawa naman kahit papaano.  Di ko lang alam kung naging mababaw lang ako magmula ng dumating ako dito sa Singapore ha. Sam Milby/Toni Gonzaga and Luis Manzano/Anne Curtis look good together. They are both believable as couples in love. The movies are predictable… pero okay lang.. pangpalipas oras lang naman. Medyo irritating si Ai-ai and Eugene Domingo   (yung nanny ni Anne sa movie) pero I think the director wanted this to be a physical comedy .. so forgivable naman.  All in all… both movies are entertaining… wag nyo lang masyadong taasan ang expectations nyo.  Remember… these are feel good movies… hindi sya ginawag para manalo ng OSCAR award for Best Foreign Language Film.

7.     Medyo bothered ako by a very recent incident dito sa office. A team lead here in the office called and asked about a task she assigned to me.  I said its finished and sent her a mail couple of weeks ago pa. She said – ok… please print me a hardcopy. So… akala ko naman pag-uusapan naming yung assignment. I printed a copy… then pinuntahan ko sya dun sa other end of the room.  Nung inabot ko yung printed copy … she just said thank you. Yun lang….. thank you. Kung kailangan lang nya ng hardcopy of the assignment … can’t she just print it herself? Mind you … may printer couple of feet away from her. So hindi sya effort. Wala lang. Di naman ako secretary? Hmm… weird lang. I doubt na ganun sya ka-busy no. Is this plain and simple laziness and disregard of another person’s time? Ewan. Bahala nga sya. Medyo nabother lang ako. 10 years of working… and ngayon lang ito nangyari. Kaya siguro ako medyo slighted.
