Day Job : BB in work mode

I have been staring at BB for the longest time this week. Seems she doesn't even move. She has been a slave to her PCs (yes, PCs, 1 pc can’t keep up with her she has to have 2 to 3 workstations -- geek check in AstoriaLand, she also uses a PDA! Whattanerd!) For almost 4 days she hasn't changed position, (once even slept on the couch :~( ) sitting upright with only fingers tapping. Her only exercise would be arm raises to get and refill paper when printing and some sidebends to change the documents to be scanned.




(umaaligid na sa trabaho.. scanner seems interesting.. hmmm)


Good thing mom called her, or else she will have no contact to the outside world. E-mail and cybertalks do not count, actual, tactile or analogue (a compromise) interaction to consider it real life.


Lookit, her only human interaction list for the past 4 days -- all the rest would be WORK, WORK! WORK!!

Phone conversation with ex
Phone conversation with a colleague in manila
Phone conversation with agency
Phone conversation with supplier
Face to face with Fedex delivery -- yihee a lifeform.
Face to face with laundryman -- hurray!
Face to face with the man delivering bills -- wow social life!
Ay I remember pala a berliner boss called Sunday on low batt mode -- yipee
Face to face with Edgar - itago na lang natin sa pangalang "ActivateMan"

C'mon BB have a life (awwooooooo pathetic!)


So there. BB just hasn't been circulating lately. How can I update my blog? I don't have much explorations and pictures for you guys to share. BB = boring = Bien = boring.

But BB is just V V busy.

Just to break the monotony, and because one of her meetings is running late. Kunulit ko si BB. Pinakita ko yung attempt ko to get a new picture taken. I was inspired by her Macau experience. Tadaaah. A proof that I am alive!

(my version of BBs jump! 233 meters? nope more of 2 ft!)

My latest picture. Banned and scanned!





She didn't know i took a plunge in her open scanner. (Now I know how it feels to be security checked at the airport!) scanned by HP ScanJet 7600 Bwahahahaarfff

They joined the BANNED wagon!

Wow congratulations to the banned peeps! It was a real success. Todo Todo Torres! John gets Banned!

Before Sunrise and Voyages

(Before Sunrise @ AstoriaLand)



Saw BB watch before sunrise. Yup the Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy romantic talkie film courtesy of Cherish. Nope it wasn't another one of my hypnotic spells where I don’t let my BB sleep until before sunrise. She actually had time to enjoy and watch a movie, that movie about strangers.. that beautiful movie about strangers.

After the movie I saw her smile, she went to her old digital snapshots...

Just today BB was taking out some bags from the closet. (ha ha, saw her trying her old backpack in her jammies -- we've travelled far, i heard her whisper -- BB talks to stuff dogs and bags.. scary) Hmmmm I smell travel! but no, its not for her, its for another explorer.. Bantay's Boss..

ha ha this smells like a segue to senti..



(Realized I was claustrophobic after entering the Vietnamese tunnels of Cuchi)



"sharing plastic bags as umbrella in the war museum in vietnam, we met, we went to the museum clusters together..then a cab ride back to civilization from navigating tourist spots from a pamphlet .. We split the cab fare, the old lady was just too thankful I accompanied her around a 20 dollar trip she usually pays 300 dollars for, this Australian tourist has been had for days, it was refreshing for her to see an asian tourist who won't squeeze her dry.. Jologs can haggle in any language kasi..

I didn’t email back, that was my bad. Too sad.

(Killing Fields museum in Cambodia)



Chren helped me cross the Vietnam and the Cambodian border, while everybody took about an hour to pass by immigration, I had my processing in 5 minutes because mine was slipped together with local passports, he he by my little sis who got me to back ride with 5 other people in a motorbike. She looked like Sarah Geronimo, we exchanged cell numbers, texted her on 2 occassions..

We didn't continue the long distance sms, nothing to talk about..


**********

My Lao tour guide mistook me for a Thai, then a chinese, then vietnamese, then cambodian.. When I said I was filipina, we immediately bonded when she talked about this telenovela.." My promise to you" .. A jologs will always be jologs even in a far away land.. Pangako sa 'yo talking echo and christine millions of miles away from home.






(Vietnam National Museum)



Got her contact details promised to keep in touch.. Echo and Christine also never kept their promise.

I just wanted to eat buffet in one of the tallest restaurants, revolving and expensive.. Alone in Macau, I was all set to my adventure.. Asked the hotel consierge, where to go up, he suggested another floor up, to where you go Sky diving! Crazy suggestion to a girl who didn't tell her parents she'll go out that weekend, out meaning out of the country... He was so convincing.. I told him i'll think about it. I rode this fast and furious elevator, going up is crazy dizzy.. Hmmp going down? Ugh!! But the bug bit me.. I was queing my way to the crazy floor.. A lot of people queing but just to be moral supporters, to 1 or 2 daring souls, big men with family and friends, needed to prove how big their balls were, and there I was alone, no balls to break the fall.



(Kun Iam Monument in Macau)






(Jumping at the Macau Tower)



And so I jumped and lo and behold, the concierge guy was waiting for me from below.. 80 floors below. He calculated maybe the moments I thought about chickening out.. but He also knew that I was THAT crazy, he took a break from his counter duties to wait for my jump. AND yes, I jumped.

I still have his business card, we never said we'll call. I just said i'll call him if i'd go crazy again in Macau.

and he is gay!

For a time I always feel sad about not keeping in touch with friends who become strangers again. Julie and Ethan made me realize that our friendship was complete even if it was just consumed in one day."

SENTI in all caps.

"Next time, Bien, kasama ka na."

Travelling is BB's opiate. I think she just likes running away.


-- to Bantay Salakay, Bon Voyage!
From one BB to another BB, hope you find a Julie. He he. Autograph/s ko!

Silent Dogs..

BB is still kinda "sick" so just enjoy these pictures to update my blog. (it's hard for me to type by myself using my paws...)

12 days to go TODO!

Isa muling patalastas!

Ugly

First, it came from the mouth of babes, BB's unNephew saw me strapped to a backpack. "Tita, ang pangit!"

Sniffled snuffles..

Reunions are not my thing. In my human days I also do not like being with people who think they should be close to you just because ur blood is related.

Then dad, mom and bro came with a chorus! BB your dog is ugly! Lucky that BB was aided by a shock absorber that time, an ipod danggling over her ears. She usually wears her music with caution, not so loud so as not to be rude with her environment, she'd catch a whisper at any given time, but this time she completely ignored the statement.

Then she hugged me.

******

She was listening to "I am sam" again, not her usual senti music. I don't know if she's preparing herself to real deal beatle's marathon (I saw her downloading some moptop muzak.) or the album has been nominated to her senti playlist. I think my BB needs a hug.

Eureka! i found a new star!

I have found a new star to offer to my master! Yipee! BB has been very busy the whole holiday season doing her duties for her family and work, i opted to slave in front of the telescope.

Patiently.. looking for my star..

Then suddenly a shining heavenly body.. for my BB, I have kept my promise to name a new star after her.

BB was ecstatic. Let us share this happiness to you all. This is BB's star!
