"Don't play hard to get, play hard to forget."

Ang sabi ko naman, hindi nga ako finorget, hindi rin naman ako ginet! Hmf.

... Looove huuurts!

All day I had this tingling sensation of wanting to cook breakfast for you and spend the day just chillin'

I miss you bibi ko 

Hello, hello, hello... at isa pang bonggang-bonggang... HELLOOOOO!!!

Sa dinami-dami ng gabing pinanatili ko sa opisina, naging suki na ako ng The Night Show with Mr Fu (91.5 Energy FM). Sa halip na ako ang matakot sa mumu, ako pa ang mukhang nakakatakot dahil mag-isa akong tumatawa sa sulok. Aliw kasi yung mga komento nya sa mga tagapakinig lalo na kay Ella ng Cainta (texter na laging nagpapadala ng nakaka-"nosebleed" na quotes). Lagi rin nyang ginagaya ang malumanay na boses ni Ms Jaclyn Jose na isang araw ay bigla na lang bumisita sa booth. Halos hindi sya makapagsalita (starstruck?) kaya naman nang makaalis ang bisita ay sabi nya sana hindi na maulit yun kundi ay baka biglang bumula na lang ang bibig nya

Ako ang tagabulabog ng BUONG universe!!!
Medyo nag-research ako para humaba naman ng konti itong entry ko. Jeffrey Espiritu in real life, UST grad pala itong si Mr Fu (AB Comm Arts batch 99) at ang unang labas nya sa TV ay bilang isang police reporter (may ganun? ) ng programang Direct Line ng RPN-9. Dito sya nabigyan ng taguring "Mr Follow-Up" (of viewers' grievances on government agencies) na eventually ay pinaikli nya into Mr Fu kasi masyado daw itong pormal para sa kanyang personalidad. Ang kanyang TV exposure ang nagdala ng mga raket upang mag-host sa mga corporate shows at iba pang events - kung saan sya na-"discover" ng presidente ng Energy FM at inalok na subukan ang radyo. Buti na lang, nag-go sya dito.

Chorva na... dali!
Bukod sa evening segment ay meron ding Ang Araw Mo With Mr Fu (8-11 AM). Bagaman hindi ko ito masyadong nasusubaybayan, hindi ko pinapalampas yung panggabing version. Nakakatawa nga nung minsang wala sya at kapwa DJ na lang ang nag-host ng programa. Nakakaloko ang mga komento nitong isa kaya nagpadala ng mensahe si Mr FU, "Wag mong sirain ang programa ko!!!" na lalong ikinatawa ng listeners.

Medyo nalulungkot lang ako kasi (parang) wala na yung evening segment lately. At yun, nabasa ko sa dyaryo na meron na pala syang TV program sa Q-TV na pinamagatang Tweetbiz. Nakaka-miss, pero at least dagdag-raket ito di ba?

Dahil dyan, close na tayo.
Nang tanungin kung ano ang sikreto sa kanyang tagumpay bilang isa sa mga personalidad sa radyo ngayon, ibinalik lamang ni Mr Fu ang credit sa kanyang mga tagapakinig: "I do believe that today’s listeners have only become more intelligent that they are not easily won over by mere 'voices'. They tune in and listen to people they enjoy, personalities they can emulate. Maybe, a lot them can just identify with Mr Fu."

May nag-text! Ilan sa mga di-malilimutang segment sa Night Show:

1. Guy: Mr Fu, paliguan mo ako.
Mr Fu: At bakit ko naman gagawin yun, ano ka, biik? (At nag-"oink" sya na tonong Jaclyn Jose)

2. Girl: (may-asawa na, pero gusto pa mag-boyfriend)
Mr Fu: Ano ka ba 'te. Tigil-tigilan mo yan. Isa kang... GK. Garutay Kah.

3. Guy: (may-asawa't anak, pero parang nararamdaman nyang may gusto sya sa opismeyt na lalaki!)
Mr Fu: Kawawa naman ang pamilya mo! Tigil-tigilan mo yang kalandian mo. Mag-focus ka sa wife mo.

4. Guy: Mr Fu, hilutin mo ang muscles ko.
Mr Fu: Ano'ng akala mo sa 'kin, bakla? Wag kayong ganyan baka nakikinig ang tatay ko. Dad, trabaho lang 'to, hindi yun totoo. Hindi ako bakla. I'm a man, Dad!

May ganun?
Ilan ito sa pictures na nakalkal ko sa Friendster profile ni Mr Fu. Titignan ko pa kung meron syang Facebook account. Hehe.

At dito nagtatapos ang aking entry. Hala, tumigil-tigil ka na ng paggarutay mo dyan 'te!

O sha sha sha sha sha sha sha, at isa pang sha sha... sha sha!

For the past two weeks we've been experimenting on two new schedules to replace the official 8:30am-5:30pm working hours. We now have 8am-5pm and 10am-7pm. Something about having higher contact rate at 8-9am and 6-7pm - don't know where they got the data.

8-5 : Though there's only a 30-minute difference from the original time-in, now I have to be on my way to work at 6:30. Before, I was just getting up at this time. I can even sleep in till 6:45. And because of the bulk of workload, I still have to stay on. The earliest time that I can afford to go home is at 7pm. I couldn't really take advantage of the supposed 5pm early off from work

10-7 : Should have started practicing on Thursday but because of some urgent things that I had to attend to ASAP, I was already working by 8:30am. I only got a feel of this sched yesterday. I hate it. I left for work at 8:30am - rush hour! (I refuse to start again at 8:30 because surely I'll be leaving beyond 7pm). Took the train because I'm not sure if there's still a PVP bus at P Noval Street. I don't really mind standing if not for all the pushing and pulling. When I finally got off Buendia Station, I took a jeepney. The heat is stifling. By the time I got to the office I was already feeling hot-tempered and I think I snapped at some of the girls when they tried to talk to me about work...

I sometimes wonder if I am not an efficient and/or effective employee, for all the hours I've got to put in at work. You know what they say - you are great if you can do everything at the designated time; if not, something's wrong with you. If you are working an average of 60 hours a week and only get paid for 45, I guess something's really wrong. And if so, then I'm not the only one. And I couldn't not do this, I don't have a choice if I don't want tasks piling up and finding it's too late to finish them all on time.

I'm sorry. I always hear "Be proactive, not reactive" - I'm trying. I am just feeling really exhausted. So thank God for weekends.

This morning I took part in Philippine Stock Exchange's Takbo Para Sa Ekonomiya a.k.a. Bull Run. Signed up for 5-km run but in truth I just ran the first half kilometer then walked the rest of the way.  I kept thinking "When will this end?" whenever I pass through a "5-km, straight ahead" sign

It took me an hour to finish the route, so it was almost funny when the awardee for 10-km was announced to have a time of 39 minutes only  I've half his distance, double his time.

Next time I'll stick with the 3-km run...

Sayang hindi ako nanalo sa raffle...

"... thereby manifesting physical fitness and endurance for the specified distance." - waaaah!

My tired but happy feet..
