Episode #10: Ang Labo Mo Naman!!

04 February 2010

I was down on all fours – peeking under the table – trying to unplug the laptop – not realizing that my big ‘rear-view’ was in full view to everyone in the resto . . .

HER: Ano ba?!? . . . WHAT are you doing?!? . . . Let the waiters do that na lang kasi!

ME: I'm okay . . . I’m not too fat to bend over . . . (Sexy naman ako ah . . . eh . . . 10 years ago . . . heh heh.)

HER: Well . . . uhmmm . . . . WHATEVER!! . . . (Hay naku – ang lakas ng imagination nito!)

We were still laughing at ourselves as I finally managed to yank the plug out of the socket . . .

The Bratinella had just delivered her seminar for entrepreneurs . . . Out-of-the-box . . . Unconventional . . . Straight-to-the-Point . . . Bulls-eye . . . Clear + Precise + Concise . . . PRACTICAL WISDOM . . . Usable + Do-Able!

As we chatted in her car, the Bratinella popped her favorite question . . .

HER: So . . . what are your insights from today?

ME: Kakaiba ka talaga . . . what a way to conduct a seminar!

HER: What do you mean??

ME: There was never a dull moment . . . especially every time you waved your Magic Wand . . . WINNER – ‘FGM’ FairyGodMother ka talaga!

Episode #8: B.A.M. Working Session #1

15 January 2010

I hauled myself up the stairs to the internet shop at the 2^ndfloor (our meeting place) not really expecting what to expect (ngek! . . . ganyan kagulo ang utak ko that day!) . . . I was exasperated from all the horrid traffic on the way to our meeting – ayan, late tuloy ako!

It was my 2^nd time to visit the place with HER . . . but this time was our Working Session #1.

When I saw the place - I became medyo hesitant . . . kasi naman, it was big and kinda plush . . . Mga foreigner – and they shouldered past me – kasi naman, I was blocking the entrance!

I tried to find Bratinella . . .

HER: Yoohoo, I'm here ! ! !

Ay sus - there she was - seated comfortably - eh saan pa nga ba – eh di sa Cubicle #1 . . .She had her laptop set-up na . . . pero . . . teka . . . there was more stuff nakakalat on the table . . . My eyeballs almost popped out . . . (Grabe talaga itong FGM FairyGodMother ko!)

She was openly – obviously and obliviously – munching ‘chicharon’ (yung mortal sin na deadly - with laman!) . . . complete with crunchy sound effects for ALL the world to hear!

Episode #6: The Year That Was

05 January 2010

Her: Remember... NO SAD STORIES... ayoko pag-usapan ang mga negative at mga problema...

That jolted me from my train of thoughts.

I was already preparing a litany of woes in my mind... past misfortunes that I would like the world to hear. (Naghahanap ng ka-damay, perhaps? ...I don't know.)

But she would not have any of that... She only wanted to hear about what I LEARNED from those mishaps -- and how I rebounded.

Her: Okay, ganito na lang... What did you learn from that experience?

I was scammed for a few thousand dollars… I left my Engineering job for an opportunity in Canada -- that I later found out was non-existent.

(And you want to hear what I learned from all that?? …Incredible!!!)
