Before I call it a day, I found out and some I confirmed from one of the websites how the following German words, brands etc. are pronounced (one reason why I love learning Italian more than the German language:
Porsche-- PORSH-uh. not PORSH.
Renault-- RAY-noh. I thought it was reh-NOLT
Deutsche-- as in Deutsche Bank is DOYTSH-e, not DOYTSH as I thought it was. It's building here in The Fort is seen from my window so I guess, I'll remember that forever.
Adidas-- AH-dee-dass, with an emphasis on the first syllable, not second. (i knew it)
Dr. Seuss-- of the famous The Grinch and Cat in the Hat collection, is actually SOYCE, not sews.
...will tell mom,
to start pronouncing VOUCHER as VOW-cher, not VOO-cher.
aja!

Silver Year! Silver Year!
I am 25 years old today.
And always, next to Christmas, my birthday is my most favorite holiday of the year.
Each year, as some say, when you get a year older, you lose your excitement over birthdays.
You feel that cakes, candies, balloons and presents are just childish things.
But for us who chose not to grow up, birthdays are always always magical.
Several days before, I have received gifts in installment basis from my equally evil partner Mitchiko.
I got a pair of green havaianas flops, green havaianas beach towel, a Philips mp4 player (which later on I decided to return to her. hehe.), movie tickets, starbucks GCs, a Hello Kitty plush, and my dream Nintendo DS Lite. Those were a few years worth of birthday gifts, but I got all of them this month. :) The last one I got were the movie tickets of which I intend to use during the darkest, penniless days of my life in the future and there's a pretty good movie being shown in Ayala Malls. For emergency purposes ika nga.
My team, who I seriously did not expect to prepare something actually did.
A few days before my birthday, I was telling them that I wanted a Hello Kitty trolley bag for my travels since my Segue travel bag gets really really heavy when I get to fill it up. I only got head scratches from them. They thought I was just kidding. But I wasn't. hehe.
The day before, I knew they were brewing up something because I saw most of them cutting out star shapes on from a silver foil. I but refused to budge them. It might ruin the plan I thought.
I reported to work around 10pm and saw the big banner they printed for me, of which I told them, "did you guys printed this downstairs?(referring to the office printer located on the 7th floor of our building)". They just laughed.
I thought that was it. I was thrilled though because it my manager Heidee actually allowed us to go out of the building to eat together which is the first time to happen. Since we are the only 19 people taking down calls for the said queue, we can't go on meeting all at the same time. This is history. Epic history I thought.
So I went upstairs to get Mitchi, so she could take our pictures during the lunchout and when I came back, I saw my 17 agents (Bryan was on leave) beaming and as I approach my spine, they started singing in a popcorn-popping-like tune happy Birthday. There I saw, in my ergonomic chair-- a bouquet of pink balloons, bouquet of artificial pink and blue flowers, pink gifts, hello kitty pink gifts and black forest cake! We are not allowed to bring cameras inside the operations floor so we just brought the chair filled with goodies outside so we too can have our photo op:
Then off we go to Mang Inasal para sa grand pakain. hehe.
Kinaumagahan, we met Maree and went shopping and had pizza with Jhay and my Mitchi:

Hold That Cup!
(original post from karenderya.tumblr.com)
I don’t exactly know how 7-11 is coming up with the survey rating of the most sold presidentiable cups. You see, this convenience store chain, in cooperation with GMA 7, has joined the election fever by getting the pulse of their consumers on who’s their presidential bet for the May 2010 elections by having their Gulp cups printed with the faces of the presidentiables. They will be counting who’s the candidate with the most number of sold cups.
Each week, they update their scoreboard with how the sales are going and who’s face got the most sold cups. But what bothers me is that, Perlas, Villanueva, delos Reyes and Madrigal and even those who abstain share one cup—with all their faces printed on it. How do the 7-11 guys count it? And surprisingly, the four folks I’ve mentioned actually have sales percentages in the convenience store’s tally.Hmmm.

I went to Landmark Makati earlier to buy a purple shirt for a dress up thingy at work. But since I wasn’t able to find a purple shirt that i wanted, I ended up buying a white shirt and a purple shawl. i just realized how regal the color purple is. But then I digress.
On my way to the Ayala-Pateros queue infront of Landmark, I decided to drop by the Food Court because I was craving for something cold to drink. I saw someone holding a cup of Fruitas so right then I knew what I was going to buy. So i headed to look for their stall. It was a task to do because their stall was quite hidden by the Bibingkahan and other bigger stalls but then I was able to find it anyway. I was glad when I saw they have avocado, which is not always in season unlike mango and banana, so immediately I ordered 16oz. When it was done, I paid and the vendor handed me the cup.
I noticed that the face printed on it was Villar’s, with the orange background. By the way, did I mention that this fruit shake chain was doing the same thing as 711? Yes, they too have it. So I politely ask the vendor to change the cup because I wasn’t rooting for Villar and that he did not ask me whose cup I wanted to have. He replied by saying, “di po pwede mam kasi nalagyan na…” to which I retorted back, “eh di mo naman ako tinanong kung kaninong cup yung gusto ko eh”. But then I knew I was fighting for a senseless battle so I just told him, “naku, Im gonna blog about this and I’m gonna tell that your survey is rigged naman pala”.
Hence this blog.
I just think, that this may seem trivial but I think it holds truth about how we run things in this country. And until we consumers and voters become fed up and decide to cease from being passive and do something about it, it will continue and become part of our culture-- legal because we do it with our permission.
