What happened?!

Haven't blogged for the longest time.



So here's what happened in Glee, errr... with me...


Two weekends ago, there was our GAWAD General Assembly and that's where my busy weekend started. After an overnight swimming and catching up, I went straight to St. Therese church in UPLB to thank HIM. I then went home and found the cutest thing in the world; puppies! My aunt gave us one and she was named Princess, though, they ought to change that since one of our niece' name (from my father side)is the same. I suggested to name her Duchess.
I then surfed the net since I haven't checked my mails and thingies for the longest time. It was really hot that morning until after lunch, I was sitting in my bed and felt sleepy. I then went to sleep around 2pm and woke up around 5 since it was raining. I woke up around 11pm since it was then too cold, that my throat was already dry; and I was coughing. Damn, it was like the whole year's weather in one day. My brother who was on his way back to Subic, gave me a ride until Makati, and that's where I kept on sneezing and coughing.

Shoot.


That week was also stressfully sick. There were some updates from work so from our usual 100 accounts per day, we got to work 300+ worked accounts on a Monday shift. Then, come Wednesday, I have to go back to Los Banos, Laguna again since we have a little reunion; my cousin from the US. Since I didn't and wasn't able to file any leave that day, I still have to go to work that night. What killed me more was I found out that the puppy was gone. That Wednesday morning, Duchess was gone. Damn, I was really sad since I wanted to play with her some more...

The week passed and the week's highlight was when husband and I went to Resorts World that Sunday morning and ate our hearts out at their buffet breakfast. It was actually nice since the membership is "free," you just have to register on their online website and go there with your valid government issued ID and presto! You have your membership ID! It comes with two coupons; discount at their buffet breakfast at 88php (exclusive of tax) plus free 100php tokens for slut errr.. slot machines. I lost 200, husband won XXXX php. hehehe.. We then went to Megamall to check out the sale. Damn sale! I was forced to buy glasses, and oven toaster. We dropped by CDR King as well to buy my netbook keyboard protector and fan, and we decided to buy a Vision Board, so we could post what we want to have; The Secret. We went home, he took a nap since he still have work that night while I prepare for MCC mass.

This week was pretty boring since nothing much happened. Since I wasn't able to work out last week due to my cough and colds, I started my Monday with a work out and I mean work out! Husband and I also decided to visit the new gym I was eyeing here in Pasig; the 24/7 Eclipse Gym.

Tomorrow, I'm excited to attend the Threesome; Book Launch of my favorite bloggerettes! too bad husband needs to go to work. pft.

Casual conversations; Work Edition; Laugh Trip

Sorry guys, haven't posted/updated yet this blog space of mine, was sick, was busy and getting more busy.
Anyway, I would update you guys in a while, I want to share this first with you.

In our line of work, we call our customers to validate if the activities on their account are indeed valid or not. Our company, (and don't quote me on this one) holds security as one of their priorities for their customers. So one of my colleague was talking to a customer when...

Fraud analyst : We're just calling to validate these....
Customer: Can I talk to your supervisor?
Fraud analyst : May I ask why why do you want to talk to my supervisor?
Customer: Because I want to
Fraud analyst: Oh, because we need to introduce the call to our supervisor.
Customer: That's between your supervisor and me. How's that?

One of the reason why I love my job is you just can't ask for a supervisor just like that. We're from the fraud department and escalations are

Our eyes twinkled because me and my colleague will have just had our training to for escalation requests from our customers.

Fraud analyst : We're just calling to validate these....
Customer: Can I talk to your supervisor?
Fraud analyst : May I ask why why do you want to talk to my supervisor?
Customer: Because I want to
Fraud analyst: Oh, because we need to introduce the call to our supervisor.
Customer: That's between your supervisor and me. How's that?
Fraud analyst: Oh well, just two seconds ago, I just got promoted; I'm NOW the supervisor, how's that?

Just thinking aloud; me as a "crossdresser"




I just realized a couple of weeks ago.



I can still remember "declining" my friends from MCC to “crossdress” for our annual anniversary. I’m really not comfortable wearing a gown or other ladies or girl clothes, and I believed (Wow! Parang pang Mr. Gay Pageant!) that being gay doesn’t mean that "we" want to become a girl/female; as I further explained to some of my colleagues, being gay (also) means you have certain feelings towards the same sex, without wanting to be the opposite sex. I still want to be a guy, its just; I want guys.



So, wearing girly girl clothes is a no-no for me; that was what I thought.



I was searching for some favorite shirts in my closet and found it; a small sized white shirt with the word “Angel” and a heart design, plus a picture of a guy sitting down with some “emo” writings on it. If I wear it, it becomes a bit of a muscle shirt, since it fits me “perfectly,” and it struck me. I remember declining several times with my friends and old housemates, and I just realized that I’ve been “crossdressing” since 2008ish.



*Picture at that old glorietta gone to dust. I miss that place.
Here’s a picture of my former partner when we bought a shirt with the same design; the salesladies were surprised that we were able to wear it. (*One of my kikoy rule in a relationship is to have a shirt with my then partners with the same design.)
*Taken last December 2010; Christmas party.
Then the same store released a series of white shirts with nifty designs, and they’re selling those for 99php for girls and 150 for guys. I actually tried one and it fits! However, there were a couple of angles when you look at me, that makes me looks gay, but hell, I am one! What differ was I still I “act” manly; achooo! Hehehehe…
Come to think of it, being "slim" is not all that bad, we get to buy "cheaper" lady or girl clothes which is about 50% cheaper than the usual guy shirts you see around

Nothing, just sharing some thoughts.

I dreamt about Tommy

*Wallet size pictures with him. So highschool... girl! Hahaha!!

Flashback

Tommy aka Bryner was one of my ex. He was the one who I met at Galeria when I semi-ran away from home. I was roaming around galleria when he followed me. He was cute and all, but still, I was suspicious.

Later on, he introduced himself as Tommy and the rest was history.

Yesterday, I dreamed about him, he was wearing a black shirt with Gold’s Gym Trainer printed on it. I was with my husband during that time and he was with someone who seems to be his hubby. Kojie was gone and his hubby also left him so it was just us and we were to catch up, but he was on his way to work. I actually left him the last time we saw each other was when he fetched me at school during my college years(FYI; he’s from Tandang Sora) and asked me out. We broke up since he was too immature for me, even if he’s a couple of years older than me. I asked him if he wanted to talk, but he said he’s late for work and left in front of the jeep, and the scene faded away; I woke up.

It was still early.

I went back to sleep, and he was there again. This time, we have the time to talk. He invited me to his place; he was renting a small place in Cubao, near MRT; and it was literally an MRT coach beside a house, he opened the sliding door and went inside. It was cozy and we were talking; I can remember asking him how did he bulked up since he had a lean body before, and this time, he was muscled up! We missed each other so much that we both were happy to see each other. He changed his clothes and stripped naked in front of me. Besides being muscled up, something else got bigger; Whew! I was sitting on the floor and there he was, tall fair, abs, muscles and all. He dressed up and then he asked for a kiss; he was about to but didn’t because there was an old man, probably his grandfather, outside his window checking up on us. He then asked to visit my place and so we agreed. We went outside and went to ride a pair of chairs, facing each other and that moves like those chairs for disabled people; but this one was moving in a very long rail. We were moving and funny, it was quite Cubao-ish environment; without the pollution. I was surprised to see one of my friends from my social-civic org with his “girlfriend.” In no time, we were at the ground floor of what was supposed to be our condominium. We were about to go up, but I woke up; again. This time, I didn’t went back to sleep. It was a couple of minutes before my alarm goes berserk.

Damn, now I missed my ex, he was the sweetest of the them all.

It’s time to use the Secret again.

Casual Conversations, Husband Edition, Laugh Trip at Home



We were about to sleep a while ago when this happened.

The building,for some reason, actually has nice ventilation that i'm still able to use my comforter/ blanket. He was already in bed, and I'm preparing to sleep as well when...

*Vondraye turns the dial on the fan to number 3.

Kojie: I number two mo na lang... (serious tone)(Just switch it to number 2)
Vondraye: 'Di pwede eh, Kelangan 3. (I can't, it needs to be on number 3)
Kojie: (*Already getting upset tone) Baket kelangan 3 pa? ang lakas sa kuryente, malamig naman. (Why does it need to be on number 3? It consumes too much electricity and it's quite cold, so there's no need.)
Vondraye: Kasi, "I love you." (Becuase ,"I love you.")


He literally laughed out and giggled like a highschool girl because of that.

Since we're about to sleep, I might forget "this," so I wrote this and texted it to myself, so here it is guys, some of those little things that keeps us together.

I was moved.

MOVE
Yep, we were supposed to move in to our new place June 10-13 to give way for proper rest and ample time with the move. However, for some unknown force, which I think you call excitement, we decided to move last weekend. Dad was free that time so we scheduled the move starting Sunday morning.

I was moved.
Last Saturday, it was also a big move for our team since we had our first team bonding with the new comers (*grins) and ate at Gerry’s Grill at MOA and had bowling after that. It was an afternoon filled with fun, laughter and food! Colleague said: “ ‘Di pala magandang kombinasyon ang tawa at busog,”(Full and laughter is not a good combination ), since we were literally laughing our heart out from lunch time to the bowling game. We really had fun and it was nice everyone was happy. After that, I hurriedly went home, while husband and I slept together (since he still has shift that night) and I woke up around 3am, ate breakfast and start packing my things.
I called up dad that morning confirming what time will they arrive. We then took a rest for a while, ate breakfast while watching Naruto Shippuden’s latest episode. Kojie took a catnap since he’s been lacking sleep lately while I arranged some of my stuff and watched the earliest episodes of Naruto Shippuden. We were surprised when we got knocks on the door, we thought it was the landlady; it was one of dad’s helpers. We started packing up and preparing the first batch of the move: Clothes, shoes, our kids dumped in a big toy kingdom plastic bag, bags. We then unloaded first everything and left to megamall to eat lunch and buy some additional home and bathroom needs and to pick up the bed mattress.
I was moved.

I’m not close to my parents, and my family, but that day was quite happy. I’m that guy with spontaneity and humor combined and it quite showed up last weekend, which made my mum and dad laugh more than the usual. There are times when I’ll joke with my mom, holding her hand, “Oh, bawal magturo ha, hawak sa kamay ko baka mawala,” talking to her like a kid, dad gave a couple of laughs.

I was moved.

We dropped by the place, dropped off the mattress and went back to Makati city to transfer everything what’s left. Kojie’s big TV, cabinet and the rest of my “trash.”I was able to catch some catnap on our way back, I was groggy because I took Sinutab which really made me really sleepy. It was around 4pm and bought them snacks, half worried since hubby was still there. I told him to prepare and go so that he still have some time to rest, he then left and they made some measuring since dad will come back to add cabinets,etc. After a while, they left and went back home, while I was left with all the things, still in their plastics, boxes and bags. I took a quick shower and went to Sheenah’s Baby Shower. It was nice to catch up with them, and listening to a pregnant woman tell her stories really made me smile and “at peace.” We were joking like before and were happy that her husband got a new job. I was really thankful that after all the blessings God gave me, He’s now blessing the people I love; my friends.

I was moved.

Monday, it wasn’t the start of the week for me, yet. My week starts at night so we finished unpacking our things, cleaned the place and went off to buy some additional things needed at home. However, we didn’t expect it’ll take that long so we weren’t able to buy the things and just went back. I was so sleepy and asked him to wake me up. He still lack sleep, and since he doesn’t have work tonight, I asked him to wake me up. He woke me up, but I went back to sleep again, and woke up quite late. Good thing I wasn’t late. I still had time to eat “breakfast,” and prepare for my work. It was rather a tiring, but memorable, not to mention exciting weekend for us… oh, not to mentioned I was moved.

Habeebbeerdae Husband!

I was typing “this” post last Tuesday, from another PC (*another story, but to make the long story short; I got caught “typing” a blog entry before so I can’t post more than the usual like before), and I for got to save it. It was my 14th hour work; I OT-ied myself until 10am; my work starts 8pm.

On with the story, I am posting my post birthday weekend blast with husband, and it was rather peculiar since “nothing” surprising to share, but still worth to share.
After my last day’s shift, I was supposed to meet husband’s mom; Tita Madel at Megamall, we arranged that I’ll be waiting for her since I out earlier from work than husband; I finished at 5am and they suggested I sleep first. I declined; because once I get to sleep, good luck waking me up. I just decided to find a store that was open that early and found myself hanging around McDo at Megamall, good thing their WIFI was up and running that time.
I waited for husband and tita at Mcdo, it was rather, unpleasant morning since there were lots of jejemons and emo punks around the seat I took; wearing black and all. Apparently, there was an autograph signing at Oddysey of a band that I don’t know where the hell they came from,. The door opened, and they went screaming like it’s the end of the world. I hope it was for them, call me mean, but if I’ll get a hold of that Deathnote; I’ll start with Jejemons and those emo punks.
On with the story.
We then waited for tita and when she arrived, the Nokia booth said hello and since her phone gave up on her; hello new phone! She then went to EDC (sister company by ESPRIT) and bought some new clothes, while trying on several clothes, Kojie and I tried on several attempts to get a nice shot from the fitting room, but I’m not 100% confident it was good since I look haggard; I ended up taking our pictures with shades on. More pics here.

*Tita, hubby and me.

*Waiting for tita try out her wardrobes.

We were so hungry that time, that we ate at Cabalen, and tried their eat all you can, we were so full, and continued walking around, his mom continued shopping for a couple of essentials, and it was fun making the sales ladies talk about us; 2 guys walking around, lady in front, two guys HOLDING HANDS. We kept being mushy and from my peripheral vision, sales ladies kept on whispering to each other, and pointing at us. Haha!!! I wanna take a picture of their faces, priceless! When tita was about to try some clothes on, we were talking and these 3 ladies lined up in front of her on the other side, they were about to take her place and the lady managing the line asked who was next, I loudly told her its tita, I saw the third fat lady, who seems to be buying the cheapest blouse that was available, do some facial expressions, Husband then came into the scene and asked in a loud voice, “may naningit ba?” They all looked behind and saw him towering at them, and shut up. Haha!! Don’t mess up with two tall GAY guys! It was really a funny scene and tita was walking like a queen with two prince behind him. Haha!We ended the day and I then went straight to the office for my Rest day OT, while tita went home to San Pablo City,Laguna.*Hubby, a techie boy, teaching his mom explore her new phone.

Sunday, I went home and slept, woke up around brunch time, ate brunch with him at Chowking and went to prepare for our own date. Our original plan was to have dinner at Resorts World for their famous (at least for my workplace) buffet meal, however, since he was sleepy, we ended up eating at Wendys, it was fun because sitting beside us were 2 boxes of newly bought rubber shoes. We attended the mass at Greenbelt chapel, before…

*My birthday gift to him; I let him buy me a new pair of shoes, the white Nike one.

Rewind
Remember I shoes issues? Here’s my birthday gift to him; I agreed to let him buy me a new pair of shoes. I chose the most inexpensive one since he’ll be buying one for himself as well, so on his birthday; we both have new pair of shoes. That’s before watching Shrek –Happily Ever After. We ended the day and went home, it was indeed a fun and memorable; in many ways than one.

(Not to mention the catastrophe that happened in his facebook because of that.)
Short story: his Facebook became our couple account; 1 account with both of our names on it, my friends thought it was my birthday so there were lots of wallpost greeting ME; and he’ll reply “It’s not his birthday, his birthday is on ….)




Habeeeerday Husband!
