Wedding Bells

My gosh its finally over! The opening of the 'Weddings & Beyond' is a nightmare! Swear! No sleep, no uwian, all day work..I never knew I'd be experiencing hell sooner than expected. You pretty girls from the former Bridal Registry ought to treat the entire VMD force to spas, free breakfast, lunch, dinner (Sige na we'll spend na on our own meriendas, now that's a good deal!), free tulog at your office every lunchbreak, free tambay during coffee breaks, and all of these for two months!

Be afraid!

Nevertheless, I've had fun. Eventhough my callio sa paa has already mutated thus giving me a hard time to walk, eventhough I almost had asthma attack last Thursday night, eventhough I've almost fainted sa breakfast-lunch-merienda-combo-at-5pm, hey...I had fun. :) The set-up's oh so fine. You should have been there. Bigger than Christmas event as I've heard. Lots of appraisals too.

Pero! This is the hard part. I've lost Concierge's big orange scissors. Casper's Flat Screw Driver which, btw is not my fault kasi I did not use it. The Barako Boys did. So blame them. My green pamaypay and 3 Favorite Burnt CD's...well almost. Thanks to Ms. Feliz and Ms. Ive's.

Anyway here's the team's Kronos check:

Monday: Out @ almost 2AM
Tuesday: Out @ 3AM
Wednesday: Out @ 5AM
Thursday: Out @ almost 2AM
Friday: L-E-A-V-E


San ka pa. Starting Friday last week, I've treated myself as if I'm an unemployed being. Walang pakilamanan mga bossing I'm currently catching up on the pieces of my lost social life. Til then..when I start considering myself a part of the VMD again.

Haha! Kidding! 6750 STARBUCKS HERE I COME!

Lesson of the day..... "EFFORT"

Unfortunately, I did not see the fine lines in between 'nagmamalasakit', 'job description', and being a 'pakialamero'.

It's hard to argue or even point out the mistake of your bigger than big Boss.

It all happened last Thursday. Everybody's already feeling the tension and the pain for that matter of the 'Weddings & Beyond' event. I was being instructed by our Big Boss on what we should be accomplishing for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, there was this one area, the frames section, where we did not eventually compromised very well. I was not given a lay-out, I was only asked to instruct my comrades to bring down all of the fixtures that we could use to hang pictures.

And so I did.

Unfortunately, we have no one to assist us with the lay-out so ako and Kuya Romer did our thing and made it look like a museum. Which, btw, I really liked.

But then again, you can never ever please everybody. But this case is really bad. Very. Highly. it's Big Boss who did not like it COMPLETELY. It made him starck raving mad.

I've expected something else. I've expected a tap on back along with the words, 'Nice try kid, pero this is better...'

Pero no. You really have to absorb all the screaming.

The morale of this blog?

I am not the kind of person who'd leave tasks hanging on the floor and not doing something about it. I am the type of person who'd rather put all of his efforts out to finish everything on time even if it means doing charity, or not eating on time.

How I'd love to use the term 'nagmamalasakit,' pero really it's part of the job description. So technically, all I can say is, "Hindi ako nagmamarunong, I was just doing my job. Sorry if you did not like it. I am not trying to impress my boss, or anybody for that matter. I'll say it over and over again, I was just doing my job."

Next time, di na ko mangingielam. I'll do everything by the book na. No order, no do. That's how you like, I'll play along with it.

At least 'I am honest and brave ebough to admit my own mistakes.'

Unlike some...

Series of Unfortunate Events

The pants my tailor made is a disaster! It's so tight on the lower portion. Damn you, you've wasted everybody's effort and money!

Anyways, I'll still check pa tomorrow if I can obliterately wear it. Make it look funky in a manly way...kasi it so looks like a girl's pants. Damn! Hope you won't mess up the next one. Gave you the new sukats na!

A Series of Unfortunate Events

Last night I thought I was already going out on a date with somebody-somebody. I suppose we could never have that moment...

Damn I am confused. I so want to spend some time with you alone to get to know you better, know your inner and true being, which is how I define a 'date.' Nope, I am not mad nor disappointed, it's just that eversince pa lang I want to spend some quality time with you.

That's a 1 + 1. You & me.

I just blame my anti-social attitude for my failures. I do not speak up talaga to anybody, nor open up for that matter. It's not me. I tend to make deeper connections muna before giving away my 'kiliti.'

I guess I have to do what I normally do whenever my spider senses warns me na something bad's coming across my way...

Run.

I'll let you know...

Damn I am so confused. I thought this was the moment of our lives...

Out-of-my-League

I'll admit it na to myself na managers and visual artists' don't jive together. Or is it the big age gap between us that's setting us apart?

Crushter did not notice me last Silver Spoon Launch at Home. And yeah, it hurts.

Siguro it's way better lang talaga this way if i'd forget everything about that piece of a**.

It's pathetic I know, pero everyday I'd use to daydream about crush, thinking what would we be doing together, would we do PDA sa store? Would I bake cookies when I've hurt you just to make you feel better and let you know na I'm sorry? Would I make your soup when you're not feeling well, or buy you apples instead....? Would I secretly wink at you implying how much I love you while in public? How many times would I say 'I love you' in a day so you won't forget...Would I die for you?

Damn.

Good-bye crush.

I suppose this is so not our time.

Pero I'm still hoping na I'm wrong.

Na somewhere deep inside you, you're feeling the same way din.

I hope.

In the meantime, this angel's gotta fly away from love.

Again.

And again.

And again.

I love you.

Bridal Month

Bridal month is here. If I am counting it right, today the countdown for the opening of 'WEDDINGS & BEYOND' is exactly19days and counting.

Thiz iz it. Donna told me na manginig na ko. I am having nightmares na nga kakaisip kung ano mangyayari this week. Damn it's sobrang freaky. Picture this: Entire VMD Force working their butts-off to create a nice weddingy ambience. Damn. PLUS adding insult to the injury, HOME TEAM is the bida of the event. I only hope na we are not tasked to do the window this time kasi thinking of the Bridal set-up for our department alreasdy exhausts me.

Whew! If I don't make it 'til next week, my grave's hidden somewhere within the store.

Sorry if I couldn't make my presence known to anybody this upcoming 2weeks.

Bridal month is here.

Damn.

And P.S. Regarding the Wedding Gown Challenge, ewan biglang nagbago lahat. Before we were asked to do sketches, and now meron na palang gumagawa or something. Hay. Well, it was fun though.

Damn talaga.

Semi-CHARMED Kind of Life

If I'm hearing the rumors right, then this is their final season.

Funny thing is that I started liking Charmed way, way, way back because of my high school friends Monette and Lico, pero it did not quite hit me so hard this time, well, compared to Sex & the City whereas I really was teary-eyed watching their final goodbyes. Hmm...

Anyways, Big Bro bought the complete 8th Season on DVD, and yes, we were bonding. He bought chips and a 2L bottle of Coca-Cola para masarap ang Charmed Marathon Momentum. When he left to buy chips I've slipped the final episode na of the season kasi I saw the first part pero unfortunately was not able to watch the finale because of work. Immediately after entering the room, Big Bro took put the CD complaining na 'sayang ang episodes, let's start muna sa second disc.' Damn. I was this close to seeing what finally happened to Phoebe and Paige.

PLUS! He wants me to treat him by buying the complete first season. Wow naman!

Were we sweet? NOT! Mawawala rin ang bonding tomorrow believe me.

In the meantime. Au revoir Charmed!
