I'm back!

Sorry for the long hiatus (is that spelled correctly?). I've been busy. OK, not that busy that I can't fool around the office. It's just that I've been busy with something else aside from blogging.

With what? Well, like taking photos.








The last one was ment to be a joke. Doesn't her face make you feel say, "WADDAHECK IS WRONG WITH YOU TODAY?!?!??)


You like my photos? Hire me as your wedding photographer (I dare you, you lilly-liver-chicken...)

Scenes that make you uhmmm...

Fooling around with my camera phone and our company-issued Canon 350D. The title says it all.

What's wrong with this photo? Nothing like getting a big fat cheque under your door (or is it an ordinary cheque and a miniature room)

Lagot ka MMDA...

I can actually see batman at the balcony.

I dropped by my elementary school last month, and they gave me my kindergarten graduation certificate in mint condition.

My Brazilian Name

My Brazilian nickname is:



Current mood: Bored

I wish: I was playing football (even though I'm not really good at it!)

Fooohhhhh!! (Hard Gay!)

Who's the funniest guy (or gay) in Japan?


Hard Gay!

I have a new pastime at the office when things get slow, which only happens when our Frankenstein boss is not around intimidating everybody (he has this annoying habit of talking to people so close, you can actually smell AND see what he had for breakfast!). It's watching videos at YouTube and Google Video.

And while browsing around at lunchtime, I caught this clip of Hard Gay, a Japanese comedienne who dresses up in Village People/Freddy Mercury black leather cut-offs and studs, and has the physique of a pro-wrestler. He goes around the city doing random acts of kindness, but with his trademark gay style-- He loves to pelvic-thrust with arms raised, and shouts "Fooohhhhh!!" at the end of any phrase (Wait, I know someone who’s exactly like that…). His real name btw. is Masaki Sumitani, and he’s straight(not gay).

A picture of Hard Gay in action, taken from the show Bakuten. The purple text reads, "Welcome to the Hard Gay gas station!"

He’s absolutely sidesplitting, and has achieved cult status in Japan from what I read. The last clip I saw him in was his visit to Yahoo!’s Japan office. At the end he strapped himself with neon-light ropes, arms raised, and crane lifted to replace the “Y” in a huge outdoor neon sign of Yahoo! (And yes, whenever the sign lights up, he shouts “Yahoo!”).

Graduation & Raymond Lauchengco

At the office

Tuny: Alywn, congratulations, graduation mo na pala mamya (MBA undergrad sya).

Officemate: Salamat pre, halfday nga ako mamya eh.

Tuny: Cool! Dre, iiyak ka ba mamya?

Officemate: Ket naman??

Tuny: Pano kung tinugtug na yung kanta ni Raymond Lauchengco ~~ Fairwell to you my friend, we'll see each other again~~~ Iiyak ka ba?

Officemate: [Hagikgik sa tawa]



Speaking of Raymond Lauchengco, mga salita and phrases na matagal ko nang hindi naririnig na narinig ko this week:
1. Peks man (promise)
2. Jeproks (hippie)
3. Toga (sapatos)
4. Yoyo (relos)
5. Careful-careful (Gel Relos @ TV Patrol)

To the office!

I took photos using my Siemens M65 on my way to work today.

I usually take the car, pero kasi nga andyan na ang twins at mahal ang gas, bus at jeep muna tayo para makatipid ng konti. Mausok, mainit man o masikip, I actually enjoy it since I see a lot of things that I miss when driving.

There are a number of bus companies that ply the Las Pinas-Lawton-Sta Cruz route. There's RRCG, Bensan, Al Transco, Taz Trans and Arabia Boy(Siguro balbas-sarado ang me ari nito). However my favorite is Igan, the one I'm on right now.

Good thing about Igan buses are their seats. They only accomodate 2 per bench seat. Compare this to three-and-two-seat buses, na pag mataba nakatabi mo, kalahati lang ng puwet ang uupo. Not only that, pag nakaupo ka sa bandang likod at tayuan, pati ilong mo magkaka-gasgas sa sikip ng aisle.

Sayang sira ata ang TV, hindi ko makikita si Love Annover(?) magsayaw today(Thank god!). Question: bakit ba lahat ng buses sa Las Pinas sa GMA7 naka tune?

What's more refreshing than riding in a bus with curtains with rose patterns in the morning?

Flyer pasted on my window. Bakit nga ba gustong-gusto ng tao ang mga tele-novela na puro sampalan, iyakan at awayan? Nakita nyo na ba ang role ni Cherry Gil sa Gulong? May tao nga bang ganun kasama ng ugali? (Btw., hindi ako nanunuod nun, nadadaanan ko lang kasi lahat sila s bahay tagasubaybay ng Gulong.. peks man!)

MP3 player, the new cellphone. Deadma sa katabi nyang mama na naka-sando lang (buti na lang si lola nakatabi ko).

Sa tollgate.

Punuan na.

A caucasian riding a jeep.

Yikes, 7:25 na, malalate na ako (Faster Mr. bus driver, faster!)

Mr. Smiling face kunduktor. Paid P15 and got off at Coastal mall.

From the corner of coastal mall and sucat, I walk 5 minutes to get to the jeepney stop. Good thing they changed that billboard. Its Cesar Montano now, but it used to be a guy wearing just briefs, with a pose as if he was dancing and clapping to a song(nai-imagine ko tuloy ang pictorial nun, hehehe).

My jeepney ride's name is Mhai Mafel(probably the name of the driver's daughters), with a cool benz emblem in front.

Bayad po stories...
Story 1
Tuny sumakay sa jeep, inaantok:
Tuny: Ma, pabili... (ack, tinawanan ng mga kolehiyala, pahiya!)
Story 2
Tuny: Ma, bayad [nagabot ng "pera"]
Driver: [Kinuha, tinignan, sabay kamot at soli ng pagalit] Hindi ako tumatanggap nito!
Tuny: [Nagtaka pa, e nabayad nya e maliit na sobre na may 1x1 picture nya sa loob]

Just made the 7:45 company shuttle. Tayuan na. As usual, corporate chismis habang bumibyahe (may bonus na ba? Sino yung nahuli sa fire escape naghahalikan kahapon?).

I might ride a helicopter to Pinatubo tomorrow

I might ride a helicopter to Pinatubo tomorrow, I might ride a helicopter to Pinatubo tomorrow, I might ride a helicopter to Pinatubo tomorrow.

I can hear the theme of Airwolf(1984) playing in my head.




I've never been on a helicopter. Will you cross your fingers for me?

Things to to do between 9AM to 11AM

Mainit ang ulo ni boss(either natalo sa isang milyon-milyon na bid, or hinde naka-score kagabi)... must pretend to be busy...

Things to to do between 9AM to 11AM:
- mag check ng email
- mag check ng mga blog (Ella's stories really crack me up, hehehehe)
- mag isip ng mga pangalan ng dance group ko ("Dangerous Moves", "The Crazy Katz", "The Punkers")
- mag CR ng limang beses between 9-11AM
- Create my own South Park character (Syempre puyat)

Sigh, so much to do, so little time....
