Episode #4: Bratinella Rising – the Birth of an Unlikely Tandem
21 December 2009
The music was blaring.
The music was blaring.
She flashed her PWD* card at hapless waiters and restaurant managers. (Ay naku . . . that’s another story for another day!) They graciously offered to turn the volume down...
(Actually, she gets ANYTHING she wants – even without that card!)
*PWD = Person With Disability
ME: How do you do that? People are actually laughing and smiling . . . they’re happily serving and treating you like a well-deserving princess.
She answered with a child-like impish little grin– and a sparkle in her eyes.
HER: Well… I’m not called a BRATINELLA for nothing, heh heh!
And then she turned on me . . .
She wanted to know everything about me – as a writer and as a blogger.
HER: Hey Peter… let’s make a TALKING BLOG!
She had this idea:
Convergence. . . Collaboration. . . combine my writing skills with her talk-show expertise – come up with a blog that would showcase the best of both worlds.
HER: Let’s discuss the type of blog we will have. You know -- the personality, slant, style, etc.
ME: Well, we can talk about almost anything under the sun... as long as wholesome siya at makakatulong sa mga readers... For ‘general consumption’, ika nga…
HER: For general consumption? Teka -- consumption as in ‘consume me'?!? Yikes -- that sounds kinky naman!
ME: Ha! Ha! Ha! Sabi na’ng wholesome tayo noh! (out-of-this-world talaga ang imagination nitong si tisay!)
ME (again): Teka, what should we name our blog? (Ako professional – engineer ... but I’m willing to learn Life Lessons from you!
HER: E di ganito… Simple lang yan… BRATINELLA AND ME… That’s our blog…
ME: BRATINELLA AND ME . . . hmmm – I like that!
Thus began the unlikely tandem . . . She with HER insights – me with MINE . . .
Both of us willing to share LIFE LESSONS with YOU in this new journey.
