Why is it that when men have lunch together, the lunch talk always ends up in perversion? Earlier I was invited by my boss to have lunch with them and the new clients just to get acquainted. The clients are of different nationalities – two Asians and a European. As a usual “welcome to our office” gesture, my boss ordered beer to ease the clients. The conversation started with some business talks but ended up in red light district topics. The perverted topics started when one of the Asian clients asked my boss if he knew a product called “enzyte“. I have no idea what this is but surprisingly, my boss was quite familiar with it. It turns out that enzyte is a popular potency pill for men. As awkward as it may seem, I listened while all of them started to contribute to the topic. In just a short span of time, all of them seemed like close friends already.
Come to think of it, whatever cultural differences we have, all men love to talk about these kinds of stuff.

My dad has been very conscious about his hair which has been gradually disappearing for the longest time now. I can still remember him taking care of our potted plant aloe vera, tearing one of its leaves every now and then and rubbing the sticky juice trickling down the torn leaf on his slowly balding head when I was in elementary.

I felt sorry for the potted aloe vera. If only my dad discovered back then that testosterone creams can actually help him treat hair loss, the poor plant would not have been torn and my dad would still have had his hair intact. Hehehe… But then again, aloe vera is a home remedy for hair loss. And it does work to some extent. So, might as well utilize it together with your testosterone cream for an ultimate defense against hair loss 0;)

There was this interesting ad I saw in the net.

It says: The official, easy-to-use punctuation mark to emphasize a sarcastic phrase, sentence or message, click here to learn more.

The SarcMark is just amazing. It really makes sense. Sarcasm is a little hard to detect especially during chats and written messages so this new punctuation mark will surely make your messages easier to understand and more fun. The SarcMark will cost you around 2 dollars to download, but who cares? Two dollars can’t even buy a Toblerone nowadays.

I think the inventors of this product are very creative not to mention very good in making business. In the SarcMark website, they even have merchandise like clothes and stuff with their patented SarcMark logo. Who would ever think that a simple logo could generate so much money. It’s just so cool!

Kylie had done a stupid tattoo. He placed it on top of his nipple. It has been the most-number-one-thing-to-make-fun-of. He tattooed a bar code. Out of millions of designs out there, the stupid fucker decided to get a bar code. Every time we’d hit a convenience store or a supermarket, I’d get the barcode scanner and make fun of him.

He got the tattoo when he was 14 thinking it was cool cause everyone else is doing it. Now, he’s thinking of getting it redone with another design. I mean here’s the thing, it’s not just a barcode on top of his nipple. He has the word “cutie” done under it.

I swear to god, I’ve never seen him topless in the beach. Even his gf finds it hilarious. The poor guy probably makes love to her in a shirt. He asked my sister to make him a couple of designs that can cover up the stupid tat. None of it so far became something he can really identify with.
He’s already 29, that’s 15 years of enduring that tat. I hope he gets something done about it soon.

It’s almost 9 a.m. and I was really worried about Carlo, one of our writers. You see, we have a client deadline of at least two news articles daily to be submitted on or before 11 a.m. of the same day. There are only two writers in my department, and the other one was on leave, so that leaves Carlo… who’s time in is supposed to be 8:30 a.m.

Just before the clock hit 9 o’clock, Carlo came rushing in our office all flustered. He immediately went to his workstation and started typing away for the client. During lunch, I found out that he literally got stuck in their bathroom because of the faulty door knob. Apparently, they were using an ancient rusty door knob in the bathroom that was due for replacement for a long time now. It took them a long time to get him out of their bathroom and even went to the extent of seeking the help of a carpenter. After office hours, since it’s pay day as well, Carlo decided to buy one of those plastic knobs in the hardware store to replace their now knob-less bathroom door.

Carlo, by the way, was able to meet the 11 a.m. deadline for the articles. Normally, this would have been an all’s well that ends well story. But then I remembered that because of his late today, he’s now on the tardy employee list! I can’t wait to read his “Notice to Explain” for his late today. I won’t be surprised if the HR thought Carlo was just pulling their leg. Ahahaha!

Have anyone seen an office without office furniture? I was surprised to hear this from a friend of mine who works in a Japanese production firm. They had a sort of experiment about how to make an employee work more efficiently. What they did is measure the usual output of their employees for a month. Then they removed the chairs and replaced the tables with higher ones. The idea is to see if the standing position can make the workers concentrate more on their work.

Of course they are not planning to permanently do this. As I have said this is just an experiment, although the results show that people work faster standing. Hmm… I wonder what will happen if they implemented such kind of policy: “no sitting while working hours” hehe.

I was quite rattled last Thursday, after my friend and I got in trouble with the military guards for having a very late picnic in the park, that I didn’t notice the wired gate of the camp until it was too late… Yep, I dented a door and scratched the side mirror of our just-recently-refurbished Mitsubishi Lancer.

Anyhow, my friend consoled me and reminded me to be thankful for two things – I didn’t run over a living thing or an expensive car AND it’s easy to replace Mitsubishi parts (imagine finding Ferrari parts!). He also advised me to enroll in a driving school to avoid stuff like those. As my mom put it awhile ago sighing, “Yes, she is very careful in driving and following instructions and road signs. Unfortunately, gates, posts and other non living things usually do not have signs.”

Tee hee… I assured my mom and my friend that I’ll enroll myself in a formal driving school as my birthday gift to myself this October. They were quite relieved. 0;)

Don’t we just love feeding our pet dogs? They eat almost any food we throw at them and they never tell us to stop. In fact, they even ask for more. As I was browsing the net, I saw an FDA approval on a diet pill FOR DOGS! What the heck? It’s not the dog’s fault why it’s overweight, it’s the owner’s. The idea of diet pills for dogs is just so ridiculous. Since elementary all of us know that dogs are carnivores, so feeding them a high-carbo diet is the reason why they are fat.

Perhaps our closeness to our pets affected our treatment to them. We humans tend to share everything with our pets including our bed. We oftentimes see them as part of the family, hence we treat them like humans, forgetting that they are animals with different needs. It is okay for me to take a diet pill but I certainly won’t give my dog one. There’s just no point in suppressing a dog’s appetite and still continuing to feed it more calories.

Last Sunday I escorted Ruth, my niece, to her piano recital. She and other classmates played their masterpieces in the stage in front of their very proud parents. Unfortunately, my sister is working on a project abroad so she missed the opportunity to see her daughter play.

Tears of joy rushed through my eyes when it was Ruth’s turn to play. Memories of her first days of playing the piano passed through my mind. It’s funny how an extended version of “Mary had a little lamb” can make one cry. I remembered her fourth birthday when she told me “I want to play piano!” after watching me play her birthday song. Now after two years, she is playing by her own.

Of course I took the whole show in video. I’ll be uploading it later in youtube so that my sister could view it. Keep up the good work Ruthie!

Tired of the usual look of your house? Does it look more like a warehouse than a cozy home? Well, I think it’s time for you to do a home make-over! Actually, this was in line with the new 40-inch LCD TV that my dad bought. Because it’s so elegant to look at, we thought the house needed to catch up. This is where my mom kicks in. She proposed a house make-over starting with each room.

My bedroom is first in the list; it didn’t need much arranging. All it needed was a little adjustment in the door hinge. My sister’s room in the other hand needs an overhaul. The rugs should be cleaned or probably replaced. The walls also need repainting because it looks kinda dull. All materials needed were already listed and ready to be purchased. If all turns out well, we’ll invite some friends over for a party. I just hope we finish the whole make-over before the summer ends. Hehe.
