my colleague told me about Pilipinas For The Win. you know, that show they replaced that douchebag Willie in.

Kris Aquino: "so, taga san ka?"

Contestant: "taga Isabela po"

Kris Aquino: pause. (Kris conio voice) "Oh my god, I've been there!"

Contestant: "...."

wait there's more. so it was now Mariel Rodriguez' turn to host the same contest.

Mariel: "taga san ka 'teh?"

Contestant: "Quezon City po."

Mariel: "Oh my god, I've been there!"

Contestant: "(laughs)"

bwahahah. good subtle stab at Ms. First-Sister.

Rain on My Parade

i had a brain fart a few minutes agO. i was too preoccupied with the file i'm working on when a colleague passed by my office. she had some little chit chat about the rain pitter-pattering outside my window. i blurted out:

"may bagyo daw, signal number 1 na sabi ng NASA."

short pause.

then we blurted out laughing.

what next, moderate rains with a chance of alien landings?

Overheard 2: Tanning, Jejemons and Other Matters

missed the chance to go on an out of town this summer so you didn't get that sun-kissed tan? the remedy is simple: go out and vote today!

steps:

1. make sure you pick a time between 11am and 4pm when people would come out in droves. this is important. the more people there are, the shittier your chances of making it out in a short time. it would also work if there is a candidate who would be voting. more media, longer suffering!

2. lather on an SPF 30 sunblock of your choice. 

3. shade? fuck the shade! stand under the heat of the sun. better yet, bring a beach towel and lay it out on the grounds of the precinct. 

4. commence sun bathing.

to be fair, there were lots of eye candy. too bad there were also a shit ton of jejemons. oh well.

--

overheard: 

eye candy 1: pare pano ba i-spell ang presinto sa english? 

eye candy 2: may S ata

eye candy 1: tanga, singular lang. 

did you know that precinct is one of the commonly misspelled words during election texting time? honestly, i was so spaced out, i almost forgot how to spell it until i was roused from the heat and the stupor. haha. so don't be a jejemon. consult your dictionary!

in other news: give automation a chance. these are all birth pains.
