just deal with it

I went to pick up Sho who just came from the US.  She texted me that Cathay would arrive at 7pm, so I took my time driving given she would have to pick up her baggage, check in customs and other protocols.  Cars would honk at my slow pace (40kph) and I'd honk back and laugh to myself, kevs mo diha!  Go and fly your cars! hahahaha  Despite my slow pace, I still arrive at NAIA 1 early at 7.10. Haaaay, so I parked Baby Blake (that's my car hehehe) and went about finding things to do.  The airport is really old and needs upgrade.  The waiting lounge was despicable, to say the least and I imagine waving to the guests arriving just like how tagalog movies portray them, banners and flags galore. hehehehe I chuckled to myself.


I saw Jollibee's signage and decided to go up the lounge.. diri nalang ko mag.standby.  If the guard calls my attention for not ordering anything, I'll give him the umph and order sundae.. hehehe P30 ra bitaw.  When I got to Jollibee, it had no tables and chairs!! piste, di ko ka standby da, na-anticipate sa management ang mga tao pareha nako. hahaha  I won't buy nalang. hmf at least the 2nd floor of the waiting area had aircon, magpabugnaw nalang ko diri.


Honey was not texting me because he wanted me to pick him up at Taguig then go home to Ortigas before I pick-up Sho.  I told him it would be a waste of gas, he said he's not feeling well and can't afford to go elsewhere.  Told him, mag.cab ka nalang kasi I already committed to pick up my friend.  Nagalit ba naman?? Piste ning gugmang-g-atay!


Neways, it was 8pm already and still no text from Sho.  I scouted the area and noted that there was a Kopi Rotti store.  I'm not a big fan of Kopi, it's too ordinary for my taste and the price isn't worth it... but because I had nothing to do, I give it a try.  I ordered their Kopi bun with coffee.  I sunk the bun into the coffee, hhhhhmmmmm... not bad. hehehe first impressions don't last. hahahaha masarap pala if partnered with coffee. 


Finally, Sho texted me at 9pm that Cathay was delayed in HK and just like I imagined (since bawal pumunta sa arrival area) I waved at her from the waiting lounge. Sho! Sho! I'm here! 


We got to Baby Blake and we drove off.  Sho was gone for 3-weeks and she had lots to update.  She went to the MET (since she's an arts buff), Statue of Liberty,  the waterfalls which I forgot, it was her dream vacation.  I envy her but was proud at her at the same time.  It's enthralling to see people reach their dreams =)  She said US was worth the Pxxx thousands she spent... this part I thought twice.  I don't think I'd spend that much for a trip. hehehe I want to see the things that I spend on.


We dropped by Seattle's Best at Newport City.  It was our favorite coffee shop.  I had my regular coffee mocha and she had tea.  We had this conversation:


Sho: alam mo before I left, naki-eavesdrop ako sa mga neighbors natin 


Hush: you're really close to them noh?  I just go to my unit and kevs nila. hehehe  I am a hermit. tsk tsk  so unsa chika?


S: do you recall the kompare tenant of our lessor?  he was complaining about his water bills also.  It seems that you are not the only one noticing the huge amount charged every month.


H: really?  I can't fathom why I am being charged P500++ when I'm the only one at my place, save for the weekends that honey comes to sleep.  Back in my old condo, I was only incurring P200++, and it didn't go beyond P300 even!! and the shit that the lessor said about dividing it by 30 days and it's immateriality. Hello, that's not the point.


S:  I know, what's the rationale of having a meter outside our units and the water company sending out one bill to them right?  Why not send out separate bills to each of us?


H:  Yah! so how much was his kompare's bill?


S:  His was P1.5k and you wouldn't believe our neighbor with the Cruze Chevy.  Hers was P2.5k a month!!


H:  whaaattt?? Unreasonable, she's living alone also!!


S:  Exactly!  My bro and I have renewed our contract and we were told that our fixed water rate will be amended to reflect the actual charges also..


H:  My, I'm definitely moving out once my contract ends


S:  The Chevy owner did say that the monthly rent for her unit didn't change, even if she's been at her place for 2 years already.  So she's guessing that's the lessor's way of increasing rent.  That's why when she bathes, she takes her time since she's being charged that amount hahahhahaha  Then the kumpare mentioned maybe the lessor's water bills in building up his mansion is being included in our charges!


H: hahahahhahaa


S:  So even if they are kumpare, they back-bite.


H: and I thought I was the only one having a problem with our lessor


S:  and did you notice the sported-up civic you thought had a cute owner but realized he was old to have that kind of car?  They left. They were apparently charged 2 months parking and water bill.  They opted to forfeit their P25k deposit.


H:  Shit. sayang naman.


S:  You can't blame them.  It's their building, and the way they run it is Pinoy-style, if you can't deal with it, leave.  They won't take care of their tenants because they are banking that their place is near Makati and they won't run out of potential clients.

That is so not-right, hushkins, right?  But we have to deal with these realities.  Life is shit, but on how we deal with these shit that we learn and grow.  I have decided to move out of my condo unit in the hopes of saving up, plus I was paying Blake's monthly amortization.  I realized that there will always be trade-offs, and it's how you play these if you want to have a win-win outcome.  This is why, I'm saving up for my own condo unit.  By then, I'll have no one to answer to.  In a nutshell,


deal with traffic (play your fave music while driving. dance if you have to)


deal with delays (find something to eat! hehehe)


deal with realities (play the game and don't stop short)


Hush, hush for now, hushkins *

Pick up lines (chapter 1)

This will be a series of 'kakulitan' that I did or do (in short, my biga misadventures! hahahahha)


It was Saturday, sometime late February of 2009.  I was just nursing a broken heart and my night is doomed to be bleak if I don't do anything about it.  I grab my phone:


Hush: pre, ano trip mo tonight?


Fern: wala. gimmick tayo! hehehehe


Hush: cge, let's meet in Nakpil then sabay tayo punta Bed


Fern: okies


This is what I like about Fernz, walang pakimi-kimidora =)  You can easily tap him for night-outs plus we were single then, so no apprehensions of cheating blah blah.


My usual routine prior to any 'outing' would be to sweat off at the gym, grab something to eat (I think then I took out chicken and beef turnover at Le Coeur de France) and sleep.. beauty rest, to look fresh the entire night! hehehehe  I would wake up at 11pm coz it takes me an hour to prepare.. and the highlight of that hour's preparation is the make-up. hihihi no, no, hushkins, I don't turn into a drag queen at night but I just like to highlight my good genes with a concealer (trade secret no. 1) and MAC NC35 does wonders!! Trust me. hahahahhahaha  Will share with you other trade secrets in my other biga series.


I met Ferns and paid php350 (this be better worth it) at the entrance.  We were met with gazes and dancing bodies, some in groupies, others just loitering alone at the infamous curtain entrance of Bed.  We went directly to the bar and took our drinks (mine's vodka sprite, Fernz was ice tea, ngek).  1am is the best time to be at the scene as the party is just at it's height and the crowd's pretty tipsy. 12mn is too early lest you want to look like an excited and giggly fella.


We did the normal cruising (cr - 2nd floor - cr - dance floor) and nothing caught our fancy.  We decided to stay at the left part of the stage, where the aircon was (my concealer was melting! hahahaha).


The club was playing my favorite music, MC's I Stay in Love with You and I was dancing the night away, blue frog now in my hand.  The dance floor was starting to swirl and it stopped short at a chinito, petite guy at my back.  He stood out and his being fair-skinned was an advantage.  I was mesmerized.  He seemed to be the 'snotty' type so my attraction won't progress if I don't do anything about it.


(*na-nana-na na naa.. na-nana-na na naa.. I stay in love wit u*)


Hush: you look snob (oh diba, direct to the point ako! hahahaha)


chinito: (taken aback) why?


H:  you're dancing alone and haven't you noticed that guys are glancing your way?


C:  that doesn't mean they're interested in me (doing a pouty lip) and besides, no one particularly got my interest


H:  hmmmmm.. well I am interested in you, you're cute (hahahahaa kinilig ako sa pouty lip nya and nag-goosebumps ako sa sinabi ko!! hahahaha)


C:  you're cute also.. and you dance like Gary V (smiling)


H:  ahhhhh.. you were checking me out also!!


C:  kapal! (and he gave me a tap on my cheek)


(*na-nana-na na naa.. na-nana-na na naa.. I stay in love wit u*)


We danced the night away and exchanged numbers. =)


His text message when I arrived at my condo was 'I had a great time, Mr. Gary V'. that brought a sheepish grin to my face. hehehe


Hush hush for now, hushkins *

Lazy Friday with Honey

Well, honey's bit off the weather lately and we just ordered Pizza Hut (he has a palm card so buy 1 take 1 pizza and free pepsi 1.5L hihihi) and watched Youtube the entire day (cable was dry and we had not bought dvds).


What caught our attention was Prince Poppycock's act on America's Got Talent. He's splendid! =) really love his act (and he is cute! hahahahaha) and the stage presence he creates is awesome.  Enjoy, my hushkins =)

Mr. Hush Hush's Imagery

I was having dinner at Abe with some friends when the staff of my colleague before brought up that I look like Jojo (whom I googled and later found out to be Jojo Alejar) hosting a late night talkshow.  That got me thinking.  I have always been compared to different artists but I really couldn't find any resemblance to this Jojo guy.. Is he wacky?  If so, then maybe we share the same traits.. He's not bad looking din naman. hahahahhaha

Our yearbook in the university had this whole page dedicated to 'celebrity-look-a-likes' in campus.. and I was part of it. hahahahahahaha That time, I was the Ariel Rivera and my picture was placed side by side with his! hahahhahaha Hmmmm.. I do know how to sing (no, hushkins, not that kind of singing!! let's talk about that some other time) but I hardly knew any of his songs! hahahaha Hmmmm.. maybe it was the necklace I wore.. or the hair that I sported that gave the editors the idea (mind you, I was not part of the editorial staff of our yearbook! hmf)

Then I became a Corporate slave.  I had this officemate before that we call Ate V (obviously for the reason that her name is synonymous with the famous Star for all Seasons) and her daughter came up to me and said (circa 2004), you look like Jed Madela.  Upon seeing the look on my face, Ate V then proceeded to explain that he was the newest singing sensation in the country.  I looked him up and there.. hmmm.. I do look somehow like him! hahahahahaahahaha (and I chose the best looking angle that I could search in google)  Ever since that comparison, I have been tagged to him, of late, I was walking out of Mercury Drug and a friend of a friend exclaimed, you look just like Jed Madela. Hay.

In Gratitude

Ahhhh  I just love my new layout, hushkins =) It gives the umph that I need and describes what I want to convey to you, my hushkins... and I owe this a lot (and as usual hihiihi) to my great creative buddy, roripuff =) (and yes I have named him!! hehehehe)

Rori and I go back kindergarten days but I got to be close with him when we were at our second year in secondary education.  This was the time I was outcasted by my tender friends when I rebelled against my persona (meaning, I tried to court a gurl!! hehehehe hopefully I could blog about this phase in my life some time)  He had his share of straight friends and I thought I could be influenced by his barkada.   Alas, I was not! hahhahaahahahahah  I got back to my old habits.  

I really really wondered why Rori had sooo many straight friends then...  No offense, but he is one of us (Come on, he was artistic then, and artistry came with sailormoon pictures he drew and placed on the insides of his locker room!! hahahhahahahahahha).  Then I recall that it was his diskarte with flirting with the guys! Whattaf@*k!! hahahhahahahahhaahaha and even today, he lives to that image ;) Idol?? hahahahaha

Well, if you really, really, really love my layout, check, chat, poke, consult (with pay of course! hahahahaha I'm the only one he'll do things in gratis ;p) @ roripuff.multiply.com. He really prefers multiply over facebook as the latter prevents him from showcasing his artistic being.

Hush hush for now **
