I speaketh no Tagalog but I can ROAR!

It's been 5 days since arriving on monday.
the first few days were busy, with my day starting ard 7.30 and ending only ard 7.30.
staying at batangas country club.
sounds nice but it's damn ulu. there's nothing ard.
so no nights out to a bar and dat kind of thing after work.
dinner is usually at the resort's cafe.

but we ended slightly earlier last nite. was back at the hotel before 7pm.
so bruno (colleague i'm here w) and i went out for dinner.
dinner was at batangas largest mall - SM City Mall.
but it still pales in comparison w wad we've got in sg...
and when i reached there, i realized i've been there b4 last year when i was working in batangas with my prev company.

so dropped by dickies and bought a couple more berms.
and thank god, i had some "education" from apu.
coz them americans and i guess filipinos dun call them berms. they're called shorts.
so when i went into the store and asked to see the berms, the staff had dat blur look.
quick thinking me, asked to see the shorts and there they were - them berms.
and my waist has expanded. DAMN!
cannot fit into the size 30 ones... finally bought size 32 berms.

after dinner, bruno n i went to a couple of nearby bars for beers.
first one was juz outside the mall. so we went in n sat down. after a beer and a couple of songs by the live band,
we went on to another bar abt 3mins away.
there was also a live band there. the band was much younger and not as good as the earlier one.
after another round of beers, we left the place, looking for another bar w a live band.
but there was none.

so we hopped onto a tricycle which is basically a motorbike w a sidecar, and told the driver to bring us to a bar w a live band.
the guy brought us to this part of town which had a couple of bars ard. we went into tavern queen.
coz dat was the only one w a live band or at least we could see they had a band. another round of drinks and a much better band to listen to.
once dat's all done, we headed back to the hotel.

today din start out good - it was raining like shit. i so wanted to sleep in but couldn't.
got a vessel to go to. so dragged myself out of bed and out of the room when i heard dat the rain has somehow gotten smaller.
good thing once i was onboard the vessel, i was relaxing a fair bit coz the hardware bit's done and
now bruno is working on fine-tuning the system.
so i spent the day playing old dos games i had downloaded a while ago. kekeke...
if u're old enough, u'll prob recognise the game - quest for glory 1.

so after playing for a while, i changed game.
this time it's the grand-daddy of the EA NBA Live series - Lakers vs Celtics.
despite having not played the game in like eons, i still managed to win my first game.
but i was playing as the Lakers when Magic Johnson was still in the team.

ended a little late and so dinner is once again at the cafe - Manggo Grill and Cafe.
tom is gona b my last day of work. i suspect it will end really late... but it's ok.
coz every hour worked tom is considered as OT :D which means X hours @ $24/hr.
and it's probably gona b at least 10hrs.

den it's back to manila at 9am on sunday morning, reaching the airport ard noon and checking in for my flight at 2.20pm.

but i juz got news dat my other colleague who is kinda following me for this project i'm working on in sg,
dat he re-ran a cable which he tot was wrong but wasn't.
ROAR!!
he's always not checking his drawings and other documents properly.
so i've gota correct his mistake when i get back.
and the dumb boy din tell my boss he's got stuff to do on the vessel when he was told to follow another guy.
so he only went onboard today and got done some of the stuff i had told him to do before i left.
ROAR!!
cant wait for him to get his own project and b rid of him.
i know i sound evil but he really irritates the hell out of me.
and of all the people in the office, only he has managed to irritate me DAT much.
i duno y also. he da champ lor.

ok la... enough ranting liao.
time to go sleep soon.
catch u all when i get home!! cant wait!!
see ya! nites!!
