Ugly is in the Eyes of the Beholder

Thursday, July 16, 2009


People are sometimes weird. There are some who have fetishes that are out of this world. Some are very unique and amusing. Some are even going to cause short laughter in between. In this day and age, freedom has been expressed in many ways... but the best part of it is you can get your friends into it too. Nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind into it.




It's the most wonderful time of the year! No, I am not talking about Christmas or anything like that. This one is fancier and you would really want your loved ones to get into it too. Whatever the reason or season is, you need to get them Ugly Sweaters. Yes ladies and gentlemen, there is a huge demand on this particular garment around the world. The time to wear it proud and loud is now. If you do not have Ugly Christmas Sweaters in your closet right now, this is the time to buy them and go out to the streets. You will be branded in one way or another, a name or two, but you will definitely be remembered. There are some Mens Ugly Sweaters that are available in all shapes and sizes. So if you do not have one yet, drop everything that you are doing and get on line. Spend those hard earned cash on something worth remembering for years, decades and centuries!

Flavor of the Month: UBE!



A few days ago we were surprised by one of our managers here in the office. It was the birthday of her Dad and she made it a point to get us a part of the loot. She brought cake and pasta to the office. This was no ordinary cake... it was UBE... yes ladies and gentlemen it was UBE!

With the way things are going, we opt to eat that time in the pantry since we were mighty hungry at that time. Of course being the "Filipino" that we are, we offered the UBE cake and pasta to the guards too. I ate a bit of the pasta and UBE Cake obviously and we also got the guards to eat with us. There were just two who did but I think they gave some of their share to another compatriot in the other building which we didn't mind because it was with our manager's generosity that we are after all eating it. So they had a few servings and we also had our own. A few slices of UBE cake was left in the box and so when another officemate arrived, we told her to have some UBE cake and eat it too. LOLZ! That's soooo many UBE in one paragraph!

She said she was going to share it with her boyfriend that morning because they had a particular schedule when they eat. When they got into the pantry, they saw the other guard (who previously ate UBE cake when we ate) looking at the UBE cake box... but they did not mind it because they apparently did not think they would get interested with it. After they ate outside and went back for the grand dessert, that same UBE cake box was missing! Yes ladies and gentlemen... NAWALA ANG UBE CAKE!

She looked for it and went back to her desk... she saw that same box hidden under the desk of the same security guard. She never bothered to confront them anymore and told me about it... I never thought it was a BIG deal... but in the morning she told this to another officemate and reported it to the administration. Now the guards are in a hot seat because the whole office knew about it. They were also rumored to probably lose their jobs because of this UBE cake! So people, ladies and gentlemen... I hope you learn your lesson... never to look at an UBE cake the same way again. This is definitely the flavor of the month... UBE!!!


Hehehe....

Practical and Useful Gifts

Wednesday, July 15, 2009


I have been in the company for 5 years now and there are a lot of things that I have received apart from the trophies and stuff from the administration. I am not a collector but it seems to me it is turning out that way because I have been getting most of the company give away from both the one in the US and in the Philippines. That is what I am excited about each time someone visits me in my little space in the office. If someone gives me a little reminder of that trip they had, it is heartwarming to know they remember me even if they are busy.



Not only that, but most of the stuff they have given me are very practical. They are things that I could use in the office too. The first one was a shirt with the company name on it, which is very good to wear representing the account I am working for. I feel like a total stud muffin of some sort bragging about it with other people since they do not have one ha-ha! Aside from that, there was this one instance someone gave me a USB fan and a pen from our offices in Irvine, California. They probably know that it is humid here and the weather just would not cooperate come summer even if its air conditioned inside the office. They also give this away for free to consumers on big IT events and conferences. It is very practical and useful so in the even we would need Promotional Gifts I would probably order some from ANYPROMO. I am getting my eyes on those tumblers that they have in the on line store because most of my co employees need them. The water dispensers and coffee machines are not really near our department and would take you a few minutes walk before you can get them. It would be nice to have these to make it easier for us in the back office. These are very endearing gifts too so I am sure they will treasure it!

KUMAGCOW'S Day, July 15, 2009


This evening I missed watching Ice Age 3 with the rest of the moderators at work. I guess I was so much tired so I over slept. Now I'm just staring at my phone with 10 missed calls and a lot of text messages from them, oh I wanted to review that movie! I guess I have to watch that at home instead because I have no one to take to the malls this weekend. I'm going out of town for a photo shoot so I'm gonna be quite busy.

I'm watching TV and waiting for the right time to take a shower so I can get to work. The show "May Bukas Pa" was being watched by my Mom and Dad. Well, lets say I can relate to them quite a bit because there are some incidents on this show that are remarkably similar to real life. This show should be commended on content, its really great to see TV is improving in the Philippines. Though I would have wished more movies to be shown than TV. It would really be nice to see that instead. I'm gonna check the thread and finalize the details of our photo walk this weekend so I don't have any hitches on Sunday. I have to go back early since I have work that day too. Lets just cross our fingers that I won't be late that day. Aside from that, the weekend shoot was nice. I got some pretty nice shots, but am currently post processing them. I'll be posting some of them later I guess so watch my flickr account!
