annoying tv personalities of 2009

i'm a tv fanatic. i'm always glued to various programs of local and international channels if i have ample time para maging couch potato. The programs i usually follow are those that fall in my interests like politics, lifestyle, sports and news.

the last time i've checked, uber dami ng tv personalities ngayon na di ko alam kung bakit sila nasa boob tube. i'm not discriminating them. i despise them (we despise them).

me and my circle of friends are not really in to the "idea" of seeing them on tv and on regular basis pa.

i wanted to question na the big bosses of these local tv networks..why they allowed such a number of personalities to star in circus-like programs?

i would like to query also kung paano nila ire-relate o ia-apply ang kanilang corporate social responsibilities sa mga viewers nila when they fail to screen these following personalities from appearing on tv. these personalities are so incredibly annoying na talaga (literally).

here's my initial list...



(look. sino yung unknown guest na kasama nila john nite and jackielou blanco?)

john nite- why him? why not hire other personalities who could host and who are capable mag-mukhang host? so gross ng register nya sa screen. he's like an old, poor, and lonely homo. kung gaano ka-unknown ang mga guests nila sa master showman, ganun naman ka-tucky ang host na si john nite..i think he's a relative of kuya germs (kaya nabibigyan pa sya ng break)...he also needs a major makeover asap! if i will be his handler, i will make sure na before sya makakakuha ng projects sa tv, i'll make sure na presentable sya sa paningin ko at panigin ng madaming yuppies sa ayala...ilang libong empleyado dito sa pinas hate his face e..for sure wala syang handler. question, wala na bang mas unknown at unheard talents na ipi-feature sa walang tulugan? move on kuya germs! the idea of that's entertainment rebirth will never happen again..




led sobrepeña- i was wondering why abs-cbn allowed him to become one of singing bee's in-house singers..though he's good..a lot of pinoy's are good singers naman..may shortage n b? nakukulangan n ba tau ng singers na competent at pwedeng lumabas sa tv na personable at mukhang hindi halimaw? television creates or gives illusion to the viewing public..kapag yung singer na yan ang makikita mo sa tv every weekend night at primetime pa....dadaigin natin ang dusa sa crisis ng amerika. buti na lang may santino na c/o "may bukas pa" in primetime TV..yung face nya ang nakaka-sit-bwi talaga..the network should realize that next season, pwede nila baguhin ang format ng show,..magiging mystery singer na lang si led para di na-madistract ang mga viewers..pwede rin syang gawing "digital singer para sosyal at wala ng distraction sa show.




boy abunda- nagsawa na ang tao sa hosting style ni tito boy sa duuuuhhhhhhh buuuuuuuzzzzzzz..overexposure na rin kasi at di na sya nag-innovate in tems of his hosting style..annoying na sa pandinig ang spiels nya in the said show "Abangaaaaaaaaaaaaan" at Susunooooooooooooood!!!!! huwatdapaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!!isa pang nakakainis, gusto nyang tapatan o gayahin si kris aquino as a multi-media star..he imitated kris being the endorser (purefoods corned beef vs. argentina),
being the beauty clinic spokesperson (facial care center vs. calayan),
the host (deal or no deal vs homeboy),
the fashionista (kris wearing jc buendia's creation vs. tito boy using puey quiñones),
the political endorser (kris for noynoy aquino's senatorial ad vs tito boy being featured in manny villar's political tv ad),
the star with an inspirational music album (kris for Songs of Love & Healing album vs tito boy's Love Life),
a movie star (kris for sukob vs. tito boy's volta)
..bka sa susunod bilang first daughter,..yun e kung tatakbo nanay ni boy sa 2010 bilang nuisance presidential candidate. for me, malapit ng mag-fade ang clout ni tito boy kapag lalo pa siyang nag-feeling na sister/ka-level ni kris aquino..he's so annoying na talaga coz feeling maganda ang mga facial features nya..nothing has changed naman e...kahit nakadalawang beauty clinics na sya...isa pang kainis..sa mga shows nya, talent pa rin nya ang mga guests..monopoly galore! iniisip ko rin up to now what made doctors belo and calayan decided to have tito boy endorsed the two beauty clinics..i'm just asking coz wala talaga syang qualities to endorse an institution that deals with beauty and aesthetics..unless nagbago na ang criteria at required na maging image model ang isang old, bald and not so pleasantly looking homo na marunong mag-host. or baka gusto nila kumuha ng image model per sector?..tito boy perfectly falls under the pink money force. mga successful old gays na capable of paying the bills and the boys..just asking..




cristy fermin- dapat di n sya kasali sa entry na ito coz wala na syang career this year..well, with much due respect, she's the philippine entertaiment's libel queen at ang tanging tv host na di pa natin narinig mag-english sa tv ever.. bumabawi na lang sya sa mabulaklak na salita and utilizing the tagalog figures of speech well. for us, mas ok n rin kung wala sya sa tv ..crisis na nga dadagdag pa sya sa di magandang balita on tv. "cristy fermin back on tv" is a negative news for everyone really! ang tv na nga lang ang nagsisilbing medium para magkaroon ng pag-asa ang masa tapos may isang malaking negative vibe ang muling mapapanood natin. kung may balak syang magbalik sa hosting dapat mag-isip sya coz malaki ang contribution nya sa mundo ng TV kapag di sya nag-eexist..



jobert sucaldito- three points lang kung bakit ayaw sa kanya ng tao. "nakakasuka sya, nakakabwisit sya, nakaka-annoy sya." di na dapat bigyan ng malaking space dahil di sya importante sa TV industry..isa lang syang miron or excess baggage ng mga equally annoying personalities like cristy and tito boy..



mark herras- kung ang manager nya e naging institution sa showbiz kahit walang breeding at integrity, sya naman e isang young star (he's too old na to be called as young star kaya former young starlet na sya now) na walang substance. wala ata syang sinagot na matino o may sense sa mga tv guestings nya..he needs a total re-packaging dahil habang nagmamature ang artista dapat maging matalino ito upang ma-tackle nya ang anumang roles na ibibigay sa kanya. what do we expect from him? he's a talent of gma artist center. so kawawa naman coz he's from a baduy talent search and so-so talent agency (that has never produced a talent with star magic yet).






GMA artist center's unknown roster of talents- kapag nanonood ka sa sop..tapos may mga sumasayaw na group of teens with mark herras...iisipin mo bang artista yung group of teens na yun? tapos ia-announce ng host na mga gma talents ang mga ito..mapapaisip ka dahil lahat sila di natin kilala. literal na walang talents, walang star appeal, walang name recall. very generic at ang fashion statement katulad nila..walang spunk at all..the talent agency should reinforce their program to hone the talents and personalities of their roster..kakapika e. sayang sa air time..wasting the adprom budget of the advertisers..i'm sure nabasa na rin ng gma ang comment ni nestor torre of inquirer about the talents without talents and x-factor.



tim yap- may tatalo pa ba sa kanya sa pag-eefort na maging sosyal at icon ng high society..he's deparately trying so hard to be an iconic host/partyphile/columnist..pwede naman..but it's a long journey pa. wala namang kokontra dun..basta wag nya dalhin ang pagka-durugista nya sa mga tv guestings nya..isa pa syang walang substance kung magsalita like other gma talents. yan siguro ang epekto sa mga tinitira nyang substance sa embassy. he should stop selling drugs na sa embassy..the young victims are becoming like him..airhead..fyi, he's now a talent of tito boy..(an incredibly annoying talent-manager deal)




marian rivera- ugali ko kasi kapag gusto ng marami e hindi ko gusto. dahil sikat sya at gusto ng madami, ilalagay ko ang name nya sa incredibly annoying personalities in tv..since she's a talent of gma, kasama sya sa mga dapat i-hone ang character para maging certified professional artist..we can't buy once's breeding coz it's innate e..pero napag-aaralan naman kahit papaano and marian should start learning habang ang masa ay gusto pa sya.



willie revillame- simple lang, annoying ang pagiging bastos nya sa mga wowowee guests at production staff. capture na capture on tv..walang kawala ang pagiging annoying ni wowowillie sa viewing public. having million bucks and a yacht, those shouldn't be an obstacle para maging makatao, respectful...at grounded.



regine tolentino- she's the worst morning tv host ever..dancing and giving spiels are not enough..dapat nya rin matutunan kung paano makipag-interact sa tao with substance during her live segment. parang di sya galing sa mtv asia kung magtanong sa guests. i can't comprehend kung bakit nireretain pa sya ng show na kinabibilangan nya..added expense sya sa production cost..





eric santos- tito boy proclaimed him as the prince of pop kahit ang mga sumikat na songs nya e revivals..mas madaming di aapela kung ginawa syang princess of pop dahil ginagaya naman niya si regine sa kakabirit..mag-agawan sila sa pwesto ni jed madella.. tito boy has also proclaimed him as a straight guy and even used ruffa mae quinto as his cover gf..the gimmickery of eric and his manager was incredibly annoying..




jaya- bkit laging mukhang madumi si jaya? yun lang. sya lang ang artist na napapanood nating dapat nag-style upgrade dati pa! kung may mas bibilis pa sa soonest..gawin na nya. her singing style is so annoying..she always changes the tono of the song she sings on tv? ginagawang freestyle ang kanta kahit may musical director pa..di cute sa ears ng viewers..




(raymond with his mom/manager)

raymond guttierez- he's so maarte like his sister ruffa to the point na iisipin mong dalawa pala ang baby girls ni tita annabelle at tito eddie... he's not really a good host. magalig lang talaga mag-lobby ang mom/manager nya. enough proof yung flop edition ng Pinoy Idol. he's so girl..minsan nga mas girl pa sya sa ate nya. ang laki nyang bakulaw para maging bb. gandanghari junior..




mariel rodriguez- she gives so much effort to become so maarte..another tito boy's talent..di naman magaling mag-host..may kolehiyala style of blabbing lang pero walang substance..her head dresses are so nakaka-annoy plus her bold fashion combinations..nakakapagod ang mga efforts nya..she sould enunciate well muna before thinking of her costumes. her words are not easy to understand..




rustom padilla or bb gandanghari- he went out of his closet pero sana di na lang coz di pa rin sya nagpakatotoo..dami pa ring skeletons in his closet. di pa nag-one time big time revelations. nagsawa tuloy ang media sa kanya..the hype or mileage he created is like a bubble that had burst na di masyadong naapektuhan ang majority ng pinoy viewing public..wrong strategy kasi..he sould retain a good pr specialist..wag si tito boy..




michael "eagle" riggs - like john nite, we are not sooooo happy seeing him on tv lalo na kapag morning.tapos yung segment nya pa sa unang hirit is with regine tolentino..nakakasira ng umaga. mas viable kung behind the scenes na lang ang career nya. i think mas lobvable pa si diego ng bubble gang kung papalitan sya nito.

watch out for the next batch. madami pa..kasing annoying din like the pioneer batch..you can post your comments. welcome kayo! positive or negative man...

the scandal behind the warm smile.

(resigned na sila. napagod at nangawit na sila sa kakangiti habang masama ang loob)


always smile. ito ang number one rule kapag nagtatrabaho ka sa hospitality industry. hindi ka lang dapat service-oriented. dapat may kalakip na ngiti ang bawat serbisyong binigigay natin sa mga guests o kahit kanino. madaling gawin lalo na kung pinoy ka at likas ang pakikipag-interact mo sa tao.

iba sa dubai international hotel. although, madaming pinoy dito, ang likas na pagkamasayahin ay sadyang natabunan na ng galit, depression, disappointment, pagkasuka, pagkainis. sabi nga ng ilang empleyadong umalis, "working and staying in DIH is incredibly annoying"...

sabi nga ni ms. indecisive, "ït was one hell experience" na ayaw na niyang maalala or balikan..2 years is super enough suffering and uber-patience from her end..

si ms. indecisive ay finished contract na. di na sya nagpatuloy sa department niyang hari ang taga sri lanka. di sya nasanay sa culture na unprofessional ang lahat mula sa top management pababa. di niya masikmura na ang kapwa pinoy pa minsan ang magbabagsak sa sariling kababayan.

nilaglag si ms. indecisive ng department na dapat na tumulong sa bawat empleyado, na dapat nangangalaga sa welfare ng bawat employee anuman ang lahi nito. the irony there was, pinoy ang head na ito. it was so painful to know.

she felt that the company/that supposed department neglected her visa cancellation date. she was not informed kung kelan expiration ng visa after it was canceled since she decided to resign na from that hotel/hell.

when she confronted the alalay of the said department head, she was accused of being a sinungaling. sabi ni department head, "hija, wag ka magsinungaling! baka magpakamatay ka bukas..."

the kawawang employee was so shocked and she didn't expect that the bitchy department head will act like a tindera ng tinapa from blumentrit..parang naniwala na si poor employee na si department head ay tulad din ng boyfriend/manager of another deparmtent na walang pakundangan sa kabastusan. it was so disgusting..people from DIH learned this incident..sabi nga nila...may ugali talagang di makatao si department head..

nakauwi na si poor ms. indecisive sa pinas and currently working in ayala. ayala girl na si former dubai's poor hotel employee. nabayaran sya ng gratuity. akala nya malaki e mas malaki pa inabono nya sa penalty sa immigration dahil nag-overstay siya sa dubai due to the negligence of the bitchy department head and her equally bitch, tanga-tanga, and unprofessional alalay.

speaking of the bitch department head..may tinatagong angst at super galit ang isang batch na hired from IPAMS Cebu. that bitchy department head promised the sun and the moon during the screening process there sa cebu.. naniwala ang mga poor cebuanos. little did they know e madami ang di nasunod sa contract. may time na inalila sila ng ibang department kahit out of scope yung ng job description nila. may ibang ginawang waiter kahit guest service ang post..mga contract clauses na nabe-bend..and violation na yun if you would stick to the signed agreement between two parties. madami daw napariwara dahil na-disappoint sa unfulfilled promises ni bitchy department head.

ganito rin ang nangyari sa isang dating pinoy reservation guy. matalino at smart si guy. he was exploited by his indian manager there na pangit pa kay shrek at mas maitim pa ng di hamak..scary talaga ang boss physically plus the fact na literal na pangit ang ugali nito..purely hell ika nga..here's the plot..the pinoy guy signed that contract with 10 hour shift per day. he had a medical history of hypertension and it was disclosed to the employer early on (from screening pa)..he got accepted for the reservation post. he was being forced to work on a 12 hour shift, which he accepted initially. but he got hypertension attacks afterwards so he requested to go back sa 10 hour..dun na nag-start ang di magandang treatment ni manager/shrek..with the help of his kanang kamay na syrian who was proven magnanakaw by his colleague. he steals money from the cash float of central resevation..he also sells rooms to tourists using foreign currency and he will post the sale using the dirhams currency. si syrian lang ang kumikita at nalulugi ang company sa kanya..as per the DIH sources, si syrian of central reservation/magnanakaw was promoted as sales manager..ilang points ba ang equivalent sa integrity at credibility para ma-promote? weird..for DIH, u can do investigation on this..go to the money changers near crs in terminal 1..check the routine of this syrian/magnanakaw after his shift..how much money did he amass for years now?

back to the pinoy reservation guy, he was not regularized due to poor sales performance. that was a questionable appraisal.

the manager was just mad or maybe furious at him because he reported his shrek manager to the bitchy department head. he reported that shrek was not treating his people fairly, that shrek was not sensitive to other people's health and time, that shrek was selfish and unprofessional, that shrek meddles to his people's personal life, that shrek does not follow the job description of his people, that he demands his people to be flexible to the point of over extending their tasks to the other department being handled by shrek, etc..

because of the report made by pinoy reservation guy, shrek sent a letter to bitch department head. the letter contained that the guy was not performing well, that he sleeps at work, that he uses internet all the time, that he does not deal well with his co-workers, that he frequents the mall, that he always go with his friends, etc.mostly personal attacks. the bitchy department head consulted it to the bad-mouthed, filipina chaser general manager..they opted not to confirm the guy for regularization. they paid his ticket going home..we never heard from the pinoy guy since..as per his batchmate/friends, he found a very lucrative job in makati..

there are other annoying stories that occured last year..

the bitchy department head also fired a guest service agent (who was a burmese girl) for throwing a joke about being exploited in her own department. the joke has reached the radars of the bitchy department head which led to the suspension then termination..of that poor girl.

the bitchy department head also suspended an indonesian guy for throwing the same joke..maybe for conniving with the burmese girl..


those jokes are real. the bitchy department head was just pikon..yun lang.

the list of annoying events at DIH continues...as entries will be posted soon..

be ready..drum roll please! the following people will be mentioned in the next entries:

- the shrek/room manager

- the thief/sales manager with a very bad case of halitosis..

- the f&b head who was not raised well/ he got no manners and hygiene

- the housekeeping tribe/spies of shrek

- the sufferings/exploitation our ofw's from the said hotel.

there's life after DIH..
or let say there's heaven outside the hell..that hotel..we mean it..

lahat ng pagtitiis at hirap ay may expiration date din..

abangan ang next entry- si shrek/manager galit si pinay dahil lagi siyang basted. addict sya ngaun sa mgas kenyan girls pimped by his kenyan subordinate..fyi, he was bringing in kenyan girls inside the staff accommodation. hr, should look in to this..di maganda sa mata ng mga hotel employees..

the questionable dubai international hotel.

As per the official bogus website, the deluxe five star (?) Dubai International Hotel is located on the Arrivals level of sheikh Rashid Terminal and occupies a further 2 floors above that.

Consisting of 88 beautifully (?) appointed rooms. Ranging from Royal Suite to Deluxe rooms. All services, such as room and laundry services are available 24 hours a day. All rooms are equipped (?) with an Interactive Television through which you can receive high speed internet access as well as place room service order.

DIH also has its state of the art (?) business center Connect which incorporate the latest audio/visual technology to ensure smooth running conferences. There is also the G-Force health club & Spa and a range of dining choices available like Safar restaurant, paint 19, Irish Village and Wings.

This new eService at its initial stage allows (pre-registered) companies to make booking for rooms and services available under the umbrella of DIH. Later on individuals will also be allowed to do so. The process to avail this service is quite simple. Once you are a registered company you can easily login to the service and fill out a booking form for the various services available to you. Once this has been submitted an approval for the booking is sent via email to the customer or companies can check the status of the requisition once they login the second time around. Approval of the booking is a must, and once the customer arrives at the hotel, payment can be made either via cash or credit card.

yadayadayada....bluff. bluff. bluff. promises. promises. promises. maltreatment. maltreatment. maltreatment.


in my upcoming entries, annoying and shocking truth about Dubai International Hotel will be uncovered.

future entries will reveal the sinners and victims of the said pretentious business entity..

the quality and type of service will be scrutinized..

the maltreatment not only to Filipinos but to other poor Asian races there..

the dirty politics inside will be focused..

the dirty tricks of management will be reviewed..

the tips on the fastest way to get on top or be promoted will be given for free..

now is the perfect time to stop the said hotel from hiring and eventually victimizing our very own OFW's.

this site will share every unfortunate event for our OFW's that has transpired and is still occurring there.

watch out DIH! watch out!

facebooking. facebooking.

25 hours before v-day.

nakaonline n naman ako sa facebook (ang bagong friendster ng mga cultured human beings according to my kolehiyala friends).

i've checked my own network kung ano ang issues at updates sa kanila. di na kasi ako mahilig magtanong e. gusto ko malaman kung sino ang mga winners, losers at wala lang on the 14th. kasama na ako sa wala lang. fyi.

para sa walang facebook account, this social networking site will give us an easy access sa current state of affairs ng mga friends and acquaintances natin. di na kailangang mag-stalk or mag-spy.

it is so easy na malaman kung sino ang masaya, pissed off, depressed and optimistic pa rin sa buhay.

ang facebook status ng isang account holder can send a lot of messages to us. Some are really silly yet funny. Meron ding nakaka-piss or nakakapika. One thing is certain, there are lots of annoying entries here.

at based on my observation, mas madami ang gustong takasan ang metro manila come saturday. people have their own reasons. bitter? trying to make tipid or to splurge on a unique date? they might want peace and tranquility? they want a purely romantic setting? whatever. we have no right to question them naman. hayaan na natin sila.

iba-iba talaga trip natin in every given event or situation. sabi ng mga kaibigan kong bitter at defensive "walang pakialamanan" or go with the flow na lang.

di ako sasabay sa flow. i'll just do my own thing. walang makikialam. advance happy v-day to everyone..with or without the right match!

It’s the season to be cheesy.

To be cheesy or not, it is optional.

Kanina. Di na naman mapakali ang mga tao sa office ko at sa dati kong office. Payday na on Friday and Valentine’s Day pa kinabukasan.

Isang bagsakang gastos sa weekend for those who are committed and who are steadily dating someone.

Pwede na rin isama sa list ng mga magkakaskas ng Mastercard at ATM ang ilang peeps na pa-flirting2 and pa-dating2 around lang…

Di ko alam kung excited sila sa mga romantic undertakings nila or sa dami ng perang gagastusin nila for their loved ones.

Pero sa tulad ko na may major intimacy issues konti lang gagastusin ko for sure yan.

I’ll go out pa rin with my friends na mga single din. We’ll watch concert, decent dinner plus talk and coffee marathon afterwards. Yun lang pwede e at mas matipid.


Last month, I was thinking of joining the love bandwagon pero baka ma-accused akong trying hard or flimsy to be romantic. I just ignored the thought.

Hindi naman ako ganung tipo e.

I am alone but I am not lonely.

Pwede ring I am alone. Please leave me alone. Ok!

Besides, may financial crisis now. I’ll just spend my hard earned (daw) money for my super needs and wants. Let’s talk about malling. I am a certified mallrat e.

Currently, most of my single friends have planned their respective lakads. Not date. Not eyeball.

They found the perfect happenings to escape the cheesiness in the Metro. Kasama rin ako sa gustong tumakas.

One of my Assumptionista friends, she’s single pa rin after 2 years or more pa. She’ll go out of town with her other single by choice friends. Subic was the itinerary. They will watch hot air balloon and car shows. It is indeed a different activity for Valentine’s. Right? Not corny.

I even asked her if the plan was sort of escape goat coz she was pressured to date someone she doesn’t like going out with. Di naman sumagot. Basta after work she’ll fly na to her destination.

Another friend naman who was a Kulasa, she’s kinda sad. She and her boyfriend broke up last year after a few months of being steady. Wala na daw syang ka-hug. Wala daw syang ka-date. She plans to go out this weekend pero may work e. She plans not to report from work nga para di sya ma-depress sa opis. Her relationship with the guy didn’t turn out well naman.

She’s annoyed that she’ll be alone this February 14, desperately working and trying to ignore the supposed chance to meet her match this year.

Another guy co-worker ay di na tumigil sa kaka-google ng romantic resto sa buong Kamaynilaan. I’m not sure if he’s on a budget or he just wants the best for his girlfriend. I even gave him tips on where to go pero undecided pa rin si dude. One thing is for sure, he will dissect each search engine available online to find the perfect ambience for his soon-to be wife. Sana lang kasing sweet ko sya.

Another 30-something former co-worker has a big plan. She will dance the night away come Saturday. She’s a party animal; brushing elbows with society’s top posers. She got no date. She will party hard and will celebrate her independence.

Yung isang guy friend ko naman problematic. Nakita nya yung ex-gf nya na may bf na rin ngaun. They had a bad ending. Si guy friend ko may gf n rin now pero he still likes (or maybe loves) his ex gf. Iniisip ko baka hot lang ngaun si ex-gf. Baka iba na ang dating ngaun ni ex gf kaya si guy friend ko gusto makipag-ayos sa ex nya. Medyo magulo utak nya kaya hinayaan ko na lang sya. Sabi ko na lang just be objective.

Right now, the word “objective” is not applicable lalo na ngayon. Sentimental ang mga tao. Feeling romantic ang marami. May love bug countdown na e.

Baka next month applicable na ito coz mapapawi rin ang chessines ng bawat isa.

a pleasant comeback?

after ten dry months, at last, may mapipiga ng creative juices or potent ideas from me... enough to write about things that annoyed me and will eventually annoy others.

i wasn't able to publish entries since 2008 but i'll try to bring in a breath of fresh air here in my site.

kung ang mga negative thoughts ko ang entries dito..will u consider those as a breath of fresh air? we'll see.


dami akong ike-kwento. yung escapades ko sa other countries and the people there who have made an irritated gesture and whom i have cursed in return..ang mga races na nag-force sa akin maging racist, ang mga BPO or call center agents na nagtulak sa akin maging seasoned heckler, mga taong ayaw mo ng mag-exist pero nandyan pa rin and keep on pestering you each single day.. and more...wtf!

my blog site is not an online black book. it is not created to curse. (at the back of my head), there are times..maybe..

it is just a form of escape while i wander sa loob ng isang environment na di likeable lahat ng tao. we all believe in diversity but i don't strive to please everyone in order to fit in. wala n ako sa stage para mag-standout. i want to do my own thing alone or with the people i like.

i hope this site will not promote negative thoughts. purely observations lang ng good and bad sa tao, sa group of people and to any institution.

i am the obervant type of guy. silent type pero killer ang opinion. beware.

my granny is my mommy

sabi ko nga sa friendster account ko, im the ultimate lola's boy. nalimutan ko nga batiin sya last mother's day.. hindi kasi ako palabati. but i know alam nya kung gaano sya kahalaga sa akin. sya ang magulang ko. mas naniniwala ako sa kanya kesa sa parents ko. sya rin ang contact person in case of emergency at sole recipient ng mga insurances ko (life and accident)..

ang lola ko ang pinakamasungit na lola samantalang ako naman ang pinakamasungit na anak, kapatid, ka-opisina, kaibigan, batchmate, kapitbahay at acquaintance. hehehe. balanse lang kami.. pareho kaming kina-iilagan ng mga tao..

we jive well. wala kaming di pinalalampas na bagay. for us, kapag mali.. talagang mali.. kapag tama or may point, we give way..kapag ayaw namin, walang kalulugaran sa buhay namin ang isang tao or bagay..

im sure super sad sya kapg nasa abroad na ako.. well, i'll make bawi na lang by sending her a lot of perfumes, necklaces and pictures of mine..

she collects all my momentos kasi..certificates, medals, important documents, albums, etc..kaya nga sya ang pouint person kpg emergency at syempre sya rin ang recipient ko kung anu man ang extenuated circumstance na mangyari sa akin..

my lola's the best. ang dami nyang sacrifices for me. hind i ko kayang bumawi this time..i hope masimulan ko ng bumawi kahit d i pa nya i-require. it's payback time for me..

ang nanay ko at ang dammam city...

2am. katatapos ko lng makipag-usap sa nanay ko using YM. nasa china sya nag-wowork for over a year na. madalas e nalalaman ko n lng na nagpunta sya kahapon sa malaysia, sa nepal nung nakaraang linggo at sa singapore next week. jetsetter sya e.

executive secretary ang job nya. ang boss nya ay hindi chinese kundi isang south african na mukhang alumni ng chang kai shek..

bihira mangyari ang conversation na gaya nito. dahil madalas may cold war kami. the typical lola's boy na walang makasundo ni isang parent...

gusto na nya akong mag-abroad dahil wala na raw nangyari sa buhay ko d2. syempre di nya alam ang progreso ko as BPO slave. gusto n nya akong magpunta kahit saan basta wag lang ako maging stagnant d2. paano nya nalaman? stagnant lifestyle pwede pero career wise...ay stagnant nga..

ok lng naman ako d2. i earn every 15th and 30th of the month. tapos may incentive kpg nagpreform me. may 13th month..enough na rin sa isang single yuppie na super addict sa team manila products, tumawag sa friends instead of texting using my Globe plan, pure vanilla ng coffee bean at regular dining experience sa resto na trip naming kainan. hindi ako maluho....masyado.. medyo lang.

back to the overseas job thing, she wants me to be elsewhere. i just passed the final interview for an internal auditor for ISO post..kaya lng sa dammam city in saudi arabia.. medyo natakot ako e.. employer ko jordanian...mga subordinates ko pakistani and indians..hindi ako racist pero kailangan ko ng support group.. first time ko mag-isa at hindi pa mga pinoy kasama ko...and the smell.. may rhinitis kaya ako..

as per the HR Manager who interviewed me, i have nothing to worry about. i will be staying naman daw with some filipinos sa accomodation na-ipo-provide nila. ayaw nya akong isama sa mga subordiantes ko dahil neat freak daw ang pinoy..form of relief? hindi pa rin e.

ang daming naglalaro sa isip ko..bka ma-rape ako at mapilahan ng mga arabo, bka makulong ako dahil sa pagiging clumpsy ko, bka makabangga ko ang employers ko at mga kasama ko dahil nagmukha akong racist due to my rhinitis at marami pang iba..

bka di ko matagalan ang 3 years contract coz ma-mimiss ko ang coffee bean, ang malls at mga amoy malinis na filipino friends at relatives ko..til now wala pa me final decision.. bka next week final na coz magpapamedical na ako..

Si Ultimate Hunky Na Hearthrob Pa (HNHP)..at ang Sandwich Method of Flirting

si ultimate hearthrob ay isa sa mga pinakamalapit kong kaibigan. considered as my current bestfriend. almost three years na kaming open sa isa't isa at sya ang aking secret keeper.. lahat ng details about me e alam nya.

Eto ang dilemma nya: torn sya sa tatlong taong handang bihagin ang puso nya. di nya alam kung sinong pipiliin. ang sabi ko choose the best one. sabi naman nya e paano sya pipili lahat ay may sablay.

sabi ko naman e di get another set of options. sabi nya e ayaw n muna nya ng complications. na-overwhelmed ang PA-hunk kong kaibigan.

ang suggestion ko sa kanya, hayaan nya lng yung tatlo. just enjoy the special treament coz it will pass naman eventually.

pero mukhang malabo coz medyo potential stalker at dominante yung isa, yung 2nd medyo feeler na sexy at long legged kahit di pretty, yung third feeler na pretty at marketable kahit parang maid ang body morphology, yung ikaapat..merong ikaapat? yup. there is. pero di nya pa kilala. type nya lang at di nya alam kung papano kilalanin.

advise ko sa kanya e gamitin nya ang sandwich strategy. isa itong method of flirting without using a single word. it is purely action and proper coordination, usage and utilization of one's eyes, brows, lips and legs..plus pa-inonsenteng smile...lately nya lang natutunan ang bagong art of flirting. hindi pa nya master at pilit nyang maging familiar.

hope matutunan nya na ang mga strategies although bago pa lang ito sa market. wala pa nga itong patent sa DTI at intellectual property agency ng pinas. bihira itong ma-implement ng common tao. very rare mangyari at kapag na-witness mo ito, it's a big event at pwede ka ng mag-wish. dapat activated ang peripheral vision mo to witness it.

to master this craft is to own the title of ultimate hearthrob.. on the way na siya sa estadong ito. kailangan nya lng ng tamang timing sa paggamit ng sandwich strategy...

dapat alam nya kung kelan dapat gamitin ang blank stare, ang malagkit na stare, ang mulawin stare, ang ice drop stare, perfect peripheral vision. at iba..

dapat malaman na rin nya kung kelan gagamitan ang legs. kung kelan dapat ipakita ang muscle definition, kung kelan dapat isara at ibuka kpag katapat ang kinakarir na tao.

timing at gut feel ang mga essential tools para maging ultimate hearthrob at guru ng Sandwich Method of Flirting.

sina joey at paz, si tiffany, maya at toni..

(from top to bottom: maya, toni, tiffany, paz and joey)

dami akong friends from the advertising world. mga real friends ko. up to now we are still in touched. dami namin pinagsamahan. saya. pressures. failures. disappointments. triumphs. gulo. takipan at pagtotolerate ng mga trip at secret crimes ng bawat isa, etc...

si joey. ang tandem ko sa mga events that my previous company has mounted. magaling at professional. he got a girlfriend in tow for 7 years and they had a daugthter. ayaw nya pakasal. pabor sya sa live in forever. he felt that change is infinite and kung darating ang time na magbago sya or magbago ang partner nya, madaling mag-move out sa love nest nila at mag-move on without any legal battle. sya ata ang isa sa nag-influence sa akin na maging allergic sa commitment at marriage. kahit anung pilit ng gf nya "say no to marriage" ang response ni joey. may trauma ata sa marriage coz he was a product of a broken home. he's committed to his work as an event specialist. kung si tim yap ang eventologist si joey naman ang reliable event manager for me and my bosses..dose-dosenang events ang pinagsamahan namin ni joey.big events..small events o simpleng promotional campaign e tandem kami.. dahil sa pagsasama namin, masasabi kong malaki ang effect nun sa perception ko about life, career at having a commitment (which i find less interesting as of now)..presently, wala na sila ng gf nya. the girl is living on her own. joey lives with his daughter and a yaya. totoo nga na dumating na ang time that both of them have changed and decided to take different paths. si joey opted to stay single and remained as one of the best event planners sa industry.. the ex-gf opted to find a man whom she will live happily ever after with a marriage contract. last time ko nakita si joey e 2007 pa pero malalim ang friendship namin. di nya alam na naging parang ako na sya pagdating sa perception tungkol sa heart matters. kung di ko kaya nakilala si joey, magiging live-in material pa rin b ako o future ideal partner? sabi ni joey, hindi naman sya katoliko at hindi sya isang babaeng nabuntis out of wedlock na pilit na gustong ipakasal ng ultra conservative Catholic family nito...e hindi sya ganun e. so walang reason para magpakasal. anu ba plano ni joey? ang huling usap namin e..mag-save for the future para sa kanyang retirement at sa kinabukasan ng daughter nya. hmmm, wla pa talagang balak mag-asawa ang tandem ko. live in forever at companionship lang ang only option nya just in case na ma-inlove ulet.

kung si joey ang tandem ko sa events..si paz naman ang fave account executive ko sa mundo ng magazines at broadsheets. medical practitioner turned account executive si paz. single ang status pero may boyfriend and a loved child. mistress sya ng pamilyadong bf. lagi nyang hinaing sa amin e pagod na raw sya sa ganitong setup pero kapag sya naman ang inuwian ng bf nya e nakakalimutan nya ang lahat ng hinaing nya tungkol sa relasyon nya rito. she feels that she deserves more though she always accepts the little time his bf can offer to her and to their child. alam nyang second priority lng sya. pero happy naman daw sya (minsan, dahil minsan lang sya uwian). pero madalas, she aspires for more coz she knows naman what she deserves in the first place. sabi nga ni paz when you love a person it doesn't matter kung kung gaano kahaba ang oras na ibinibigay sau ng mahal mo.. ang importante e nabibigyan ka pa rin ng konting panahon. sa konting panahon na naibibigay e winner na rin yun para sa isang mistress. bkit winner? dahil kung wla ng time for you ang tao, ang mistress na dating 2nd priority lng e magiging 3rd priority pa. loser na yun kung nagkataon. si paz pa naman e goal driven. career oriented at fighter. kung di nya makuha ang gusto lumalaban pa rin. at dahil she knows what she deserves, nakikipag-date pa rin sya sa iba. merong single, merong pamilyado, malakas talaga sya sa pamilyado (at lesbians). ayaw rin pakasal ni paz. ok sya sa companionship. cool sya sa idea na dapat may quality time (once in a while) sila ng partner nya kahit di pa sya ang uuwian nito. maybe she accepted the fact that she's not the marrying type. mid-30's na sya so slim na ang chance to meet a guy na single at willing magpakasal sa isang unwed mom with an ongoing relationship sa isang married man. the last time i heard about her, nasa dubai na sya with a new guy of her life. nag-move on na nga at na-realized nyang she could start a new life sa tamang way. good thing single si new bf. there's a big improvement on her decision making. pero wala pa rin syang plan to get married. live in pa rin ang favorable setup for her in dubai..

si tiffany e pretty girl. prudukto ng isang exclusive school for girls. she's my assistant sa previous work. we're very close. ma-appeal. back then, she had a bf for almost 5 years..at may ka-on din na lesbian at the same time for more than a year. bisex si tiffany. at ako lang ang nakakaalam sa opis since kami ang magka-eded. her ex bf wants to get married na coz he's stable financially at sobrang tagal na nila. however, she was not ready yet or maybe she was torn with her complex relationships. she didn't know kung cnu sa bf or gf ang matimbang. she was also dating other guys that she met sa mga events namin. iba si tiffany sa lahat. i was her partner in crimes of passion. i even joiend her to go out of town coz her lesbian lover wants to introduce her to the family. so gumawa kmi ng bogus na event. we made palabas to everyone that we attended an event organized by our media partner. nakalusot naman. 3 days yun. si tiffany and her lesbow lover e nagbond ng sobra. ako ang iskorer (hehehe) at naka-relax rin naman away from our demanding and slave-driver bosses. di nagtagal e nabuking din sya ng mom nya. pinag-overnight nya kasi si lesbow gf sa haws nila and they slept in her room. the following day, without their knowledge, tiffany's mom arrived unannounced after the mom went to church (one sunday moring), nahuli sila na kissing and hugging. ayun na-confront ang dalawa at dun na naputol ang same sex affair ng friend ko. presently, wla na cla ng bf nya for 5 years. yung former lesbow lover nya e nasa middle east na at camel na ata ang gustong ka-trip (hehehe). NEWS: tiffany just delivered a baby girl somewehere in south courtesy of her fling na eventually ay napakasalan sya. happy naman sya coz tahimik na raw ang buhay nya. pero she clarified na nagpapahinga lng sya at wait and see lng raw ako. hindi yun banta kundi reminder nya that she's still the same person i have known and learned to accept and to love.

si maya, ang tanging naiwan sa mga demanding kong bosses. naiwan namin sya ni tiffany dun. sya na ngaun ang go to girl ng kumpanya. she's handling the entire operations. big time! she deserves it. she's a loyal employee. 10 years and counting...hapi naman sya pero just recently gusto na nya makipaghiwalay sa husband nya for 5 months. irreconcilable differences raw. showbiz! wala daw cla quality time together. she claims, the guy always ingnores her and she feels that she is not his top priority. ganito si maya kapag may di nakuhang gusto, feeling nya ini-ignore sya. for her, break-up ang sagot para mai-communicate nya na the tampo she's hiding or the pain that she really can't express. minsan, nagkita kami for a merienda somewhere then we met his hubby afterwards (na tropa ko na rin). after dinner, hinatid na ako ni hubby malapit sa area ko. si hubby nag-vent. he claims, maya wants a separation but he does not agree with the girl's proposal. sabi ni hubby, heloves the girl so much at the reason why maya is asking for a separation is hindi pa sya over sa ex nyang gwapo pero silahista (raw!). the ex bf naman daw keeps on communicating to maya and in fairnness to her, honest naman sya kay hubby that her ex is trying to settle the unfinished business. the ex bf got married sa isang older woman na naka-based sa spain. bigtime na rin si ex bf pero mukha pa ring silahis. si ex bf ay super invite kay maya to visit spain and he's willing to sponsor her kung gusto nya mag-stay for good..eto raw ang rason kung bakit feeling ni guy e gusto syang hiwalayan ni maya..alam kong over na si maya. even maya has clarified the issue. friends n lng daw cla ni ex pero kung kailangan sya ni ex, she will make sure that nandun sya for the ex bf..tsk..tsk. kumplikado yun.and she agreed. though it was an unfinished business for the ex bf, kay maya, friends na lng tlga. well, good thing, si hubby opted to stick with her. according to him, he's commited to the marriage..si maya di ko pa nakausap ulet. at di pa naman sya nag-complain about her marriage last time i checked...

si toni naman ang pinakabubbly na production manager na nakilala at naging kaibigan ko sa TV industry. she started working in this TV network after graduating college from one of the top universities d2 sa metropolis. she got 2 kids from 2 different boyfriends of her. she doesn't believe in marriage. she's vocal about it and she values her freedom of choice and individuality. she doesn't believe in the power of marriage license. she aspires to become successful in her TV career pero never nyang naging dream ang maging ideal wife..(cguro beautiful partner at mom pwede pa). unfaithful rin si toni. kahit cla pa ni current bf e nakikipagdate pa rin sya. di naman daw bawal coz she's technically a single woman with 2 kids from 2 guys she never wishes to settle down with.she's very modern or shall i say very woman of the world.

eto ang motto nya: kung type nya at type sya go for gold sya. kung type nya at ayaw sya she'll settle for the silver. pero kapag ayaw na nya at gusto pa rin sya..tatansuin na nya ang partner at disappearing act ang final solution.

sila ang mga friends ko.complicated human beings kumpara sa iba. hindi sila perfect pero we jived so well. they taught me a lot. they have influenced my present outlook in life. ngayon ko lang napag-ugnay ang mga dahilan kung bakit ako ganito..dahil sila ang mga kaibigan ako.. at kami ay pwedeng ilagay sa iisang kategorya (non-commital society, marriage defficiency syndrome, major intimacy issues gang)..
