i'm leaving hell :D

Finally, I'm resigned!!!

thank you, Papa Jesus for enabling me to leave a toxic, stagnant, pana-filled workplace...

Flatmates in Wonderland

Springtime in Dubai is like summer in Philippines hence, the perfect time for swimming! We finally got the time to enjoy the sun, have fun in the water & get wacky on the slides before the dreaded Dubai summer, which is synonymous to hell (probably) hehehe...

wonderful time @ Wonderland with Momon, Deej & Roy, Debz & Ice, Lhai & ate ni Lhai (Salvo) =D

walang tawiran...

People say that Filipinos are pasaway… that we really find it hard to follow even the simplest of rules. Evidently, it is quite true coz even if there are signs like this plastered over Metro Manila, people would still do this:

Here in Dubai, people find it very hard to jaywalk. Main reason is the roads are divided by fences or hedges so even if you want to cross it, you’ll just be stuck in the middle. Secondly, even if you get the guts to climb the fence, police will be all over you before your feet land to the other side; thanks to the CCTV cameras all over the place (and yes, Dubai police officers really watch it somewhere near by). Then they’re gonna ask for jaywalking fine of Dhs. 500, which if you cannot provide will land you in jail for three days. That is why in footbridges we shall cross. \m/

Despite all these, there’s this one road in Dubai that is very easy to cross without using the pedestrian lane:

AL RIGGA ROAD

Last night, Momon & I went to Deira City Centre to pass the time and to eat dinner. We were already looking for a place to eat when I realized that what I crave is bulalo from Tipanan, a Filipino restaurant near our place in Rigga Road so; we hastily leave DCC, rode the metro, go down at Rigga station and walked to Tipanan. We got our bulalo to go and crossed the street, not bothering to use the pedestrian lane coz it’s ridiculously far from where we were. We were on the middle of the 2 roads, and I was thinking how nice it is to walk on the grass and how it’s a good thing that Dubai has the facility to maintain the growth of the trees even during the sweltering hot of summer when suddenly I heard a swooshing sound. The next thing I know, Momon & I are being drenched with water coming from the automatic sprinkler! We can’t immediately cross the other road for the traffic is still moving so we just stand there, laughing while getting showered with water (which I hope is clean and without fertilizer); thanks to you, grass sprinkler. Hwehehe…

Pasaway kasi e! Hmmm… now I want to make an appeal to Dubai Government. Better put this sign in Rigga Road:

WALANG TAWIRAN, NAKABABASA

:oP

parang tanga lang

a, LECHE!!!

leche, leche, leche!
sawang sawa na akong makisalamuha sa mga lecheng tao dito sa opisinang ito.
sawang sawa na ako makipag-usap sa mga bwisit na taong walang sense at mabaho ang amoy...
sawang sawa na ako sa mga bobong nilalang na kelangan ko makasama

9 hours a day, 6/7 days a week.
sawang sawa na ako sa mga magtatanong tapos hindi naman maniniwala sa isasagot.
FYI lng, ang ibig sabihin ng 0300hrs ay alas tres ng madaling araw at ang 2140hrs ay alas nuebe kwarenta ng gabi. kung kahit ganyang kasimpleng bagay ay hindi nyo pa alam at pag itinanong nyo sa akin e hindi nyo paniniwalaan ang sagot ko at ipipilit na kabaligtaran nun ang tama, ay shit kayong mga mababaho at bobong nilalang kayo, wag nyo na lang akong kausapin.

mas pabor sa akin yon.
hina-high blood nyo lang ako...

hmmm... writing it in Tagalog after saying the above in English to the stupid officemates
made me feel better.

yeah, I'm mean. so sue me.

Situation:
I’m sitting on my desk when one officemate enters my office…

Ofsm8: Hi, how are you?
Mi: I’m fine, thanks.
Ofsm8: Mishal, wat is dat? [pointing to the contact lens solution on my table]
Mi: It’s my contact lens solution, used for cleaning my lens. I also put it in my eyes when I’m wearing lens so that my eyes will not feel dry.
Ofsm8: I see… [watches me put some droplets of solution into my eyes]

After maybe 15 seconds…

Ofsm8: Mishal, what happen? Why are you crying?
Mi: Did you not see me put contact lens solution into my eyes?
Ofsm8: Yes… but now you are crying… Any problems? Tell me…

***I swear to God he’s not kidding when he asked that. Hayz!


Now this happened just 2 minutes ago, while I’m typing the above story…

Ofsm8 2: Hi, how are you?
Mi: I’m okay.
Ofsm8 2: Mishal, are you busy?
Mi: No…
Ofsm8 2: Why are you so busy? You’re always busy…
Mi: ???

i ♥ shabu²

Last Sunday (Valentine’s Day), we opted to have a group date rather than go out separately in pairs so as to avoid even just a bit the heart’s day clichés. So Momon and I together with Debz, Mio and couple Deej and Roy decided to go to a Chinese restaurant in Baniyas Road and eat shabu-shabu, etc.

Along the way to the restaurant, we again unleashed our “takaw picture selves” and eagerly pose, pose pose at the camera.

When we arrived at the restaurant, as expected, it was full so we played at the nearby arcade while waiting for our table to be available…


We were so starved by the time we get to seat and order; that is why when our food came, nobody bothered to take pictures of it. “Galit-galit muna mode” was established while eating.

Had so much fun going out with my flatmates. (^__^)

minsan gusto ko ng keso...

... pero minsan lang. un cheesy na katulad nito:

Ya a!!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

to my Momon

and to everybody!
