Loser...
Never say never!
Pero nakakalungkot, Papa Andy Roddick lost to Roger Federer again, for the 6th straight time. I wonder how he feels, losing over and over again?
Well, to make bawas the kahihiyan... he had an injury timeout. Para naman may dahilan kung bakit hindi sha maka-score against big-nosed Federer. For a while I thought it was pretty serious, but then he was able to at least finish the game. Ewan ko lang kung nagdradrama lang sha, but who cares?! He has every right to be dramatic... dahil cute sha! Walang kokontra!

Oh my gosh, I think his feet are absolutely sexy... and those legs! To die for!!! I'm not a tennis fan, but I soooo love Andy Roddick. So feeling sinusubaybayan ko talaga ang mga tournaments, may it be a major or minor one... coz it all affect their standings and ratings. Sana yung pinaka-cute ang panalo, unfortunately it doesn't work that way. LOL.

I watched the match live on Star Sports a week ago or something, even if I had a lot of proposals to finish, I just had to stop and cheer on for my dear Andy.

Copycat?!
Of course not.

It was just a coincidence that a almost 2 years ago I had a press and dealer launch for the same-type product. In fairness, the concept was totally different. Actually, yung product mock-up lang naman yung sobrang alike.

Get the Power!
Ang corny. LOL
Well, FYI... it wasn't my idea. I just helped with the over-all management and production. Actually, I directed the event. Oh ha! Well, with the help of my Thai officemates who translated it to the non-English speaking production team and staging suppliers.

Picture! Pictures! Pictures!

23 Land Cruisers parked in front of the building.
I was so amazed watching them parked systematically.
(and without a manong guard helping them out ha!)


Check out the Petronas Adventure Team


The people I worked with...

Gin - Assistant Director/ Translator


Jojoe - all around. LOL.


Wave - Press/Media Relations

Power Team
There are a lot of new account executives and account managers in the office. And most of them have not yet experienced big events such as this... most of them are doing sampling and roadshow projects in small scale. So it was actually a fun and learning experience for them helping us out as "GROs".



SBU by day, GROs by night. LOL.


Jojoe, Gin and me with the girls:
Ann, Lee, Mint and Wan









And here's the real team who worked really hard: Jane, Jojoe, Wave, Ton (the first ever Event Project Manager in a business suit!) and Gin.

Kunyari, hindi pa kami pagod... but oh my gosh... can I just die?!

Nagpapanggap...
Yesterday, I was shopping at the nearest mall in my apartment - The Mall Bangkapi. I was just walking around, when I saw a booth of Fitness First and one really energetic girl approached me and started here spiels in Thai. I smiled at her and pretended to listen... and then finally I said "Oh, I don't understand Thai". hahaha!

Oh, but she was nice and spoke English too. So first I pretended to be Thai, and now I'm pretending that I'm actually interested to go to the gym again. Hay...

I wonder if I'll waste money for fees (plus not to mention shopping for new gym clothes again! wow that can be fun...)

Well, I'll just update you next time if I enrolled myself or not.

Que Horror!

I was browsing my old photos... when it got me thinking... madalas talaga eh wala sa katinuan ang mga damit ko. My friends would often be in shock when they see me it sort of unusual clothes... I get away with wearing shawls during summer, floral when it rains or bright reds... pinks... orange... violet... hahaha! or flowers on my hair, in my shirt or whatever... butterfly on my jeans... polka-dot-shoes... sleeveless... short dress... super mega slit... at kung ano-ano pa. And most of the time, plunging... nalulula nga ang mga clients eh. hahaha! =)

Just Another Year...
Today is my first anniversary here in the office! Yipee!?

I think I will be staying here longer than expected. At first a lot of people were saying that I'd probably go home after a few months or so... but hey, still here!

OMG... I've been working for only 7 years but I feel like retiring already!

October 1998 - January 1999 Telephilippines
February 1999 - October 2002 Events Circuit/ MultiMedia Exponents
December 2002 - February 2003 Adformatix
February 2003 - August 2004 McCann-Erickson
August 2004 - Present Thailand!

I can't imagine how the other people celebrate like 20 years or something in 1 company... LOL. Perhaps like Yeng and Abbie, both of them are still on their first job! Amazing!!!

5 companies in 7 years... well, I think it's not that bad... I know some people have 5 companies in just a year.

Cheers to all the corporate sluts out there!

Baby
Just last Friday night I remember singing and dancing to this song when we where at Driftt (it's a bar that plays old and new hiphop/RnB and pop)...

Behind my smile is my IQ
I must admit this does not sit with the likes of you
You're really sweet
Mmmm.. you're really nice
But didn't mama ever tell ya not to play with fire
Don't think that I'm not strong
I'm the one to take you on
Don't underestimate me boy
I'll make you sorry you were born
You don't know me
The way you really should
You're sure misunderstood
Don't call me baby
You got some nerve and baby that'll never do
You know I don't belong to you
It's time you knew I'm not your baby
I belong to me
So don't call me baby

=(

Hindi na nya talaga ko pwedeng tawaging baby or honey... dahil nandito na nagtratrabaho ang asawa nya! Syet!!!

I went out for a smoke today, and there he was with his wife... he just greeted my with a very casual "What's up girl?" Hmp! It was a good thing that I went out with another officemate... I was able to avoid a really awkward situation.

Things I Learned... Somehow
Thank God I read the book: He's Just Not That Into You


When he's drunk...
...hugs and kisses doesn't mean anything.

When he's drunk...
...and tells you "I love you"... it's not true!

When he's drunk
...and you flirt with someone else, he gets jealous and says "You're my girl!"...
it ain't real.

Tell Me Something That I Don't Know...
BOYLET: "Baby, don't fall in love with me. I have a wife and a kid."

BIATCH: ---

Darn! This is again, one of the very few moments when the biatch finds herself speechless.
