went to dihiya's inauguration the other day... was sort of the official photographer... used friend's camera... had a weird feeling film didn't spool.... found out last night that it didn't. HAHAHAHAHA stupid me.

anyway, things going pretty well these dyas... event's coming along well, granted stupid client gives things last minute.

additional story about client... told here there would be national anthem playing during the event. she asked if i would be needing the national flag. told her, it would be good, but they should have a company flag, too. you know what she said? "Why do we need a flag? Are we a country?" in tagalog, of course...

Anyway, meeting with Dragon Lady didn't push through... spent the whole day yesterday working at home... well... not quite working...

oh well... event this weekend... keep me in your prayers...

Albus, Bro, if you guys are reading this, i'll be in town center sunday, handling event...

yesterday.... had a great breakfast, lunch and dinner...

was late for a meeting... i took my time because they said they were free the whole day, anyway... turns out stupid client (let's give her a handle... hmmm.... imp would be good...) scheduled other meetings.

anyway, IMP is so stupid that she paid me 100% instead of 50%, which was what was billed her...anyway... had to walk around makati with more than 100,000 pesos in CASH!!! to top it all off, i had my laptop with me and my friend's camera... total hold-up value would have been around 200,000.00.... goldmine...

anyway, saw Rex Navarette perform last night. HILARIOUS GUY!!!

that's all for now... long day today... bring sis to school, drive to meet dragon lady... drive to pay NorthPark... drive to Alabang... then drive to Manila...
long long day

that's all for now.. keep you posted soon.

today's been pretty productive... did a lot of things... spent a good deal of money on old newspapers, though... dang... other stupid bitch who married a foreigner... stole all newspapers... had to buy back issues worth almost twice the amount of regular papers.

funny thing happened today... picked up doogie so I had someone to chat with while doing my press rounds (for those who don't know, it's mighty boring and sad if you do press rounds alone)... while i was waiting for him to come down, a kitten must've slipped into my front fender (what we commonly call a bumper). While we were driving, we heard a "mew", as if it was inside the car... I REALLY THOUGHT a kitten got inside the car.

I was worried, of course, that the kitten would jump into the engine, kill itself, and drag my engine up to heaven with it... good thing it didn't... i was worried because i, for one, am sort of an animal rights advocate... well, more of a life advocate. I actually moved heavy lockers back in college to rescue kittens hidden underneath it.

It was funny because as i drove through some small streets, the kitten would mew and people would hear it and look at the car weird...

Got to HQ. Left the car there and went out with Dihiya and HSY. Thought the kitten left because it was quiet all that time. After hours of going around, we heard the mews again. Dihiya saw it peeping from under my bumpers. When we got equipment to get it out, the mewing wasn't coming from my car anymore... stupid kitten got out of my bumpers and hid inside the bumpers of the other car. HAHAHAHAHA....

oh, well... short anecdote for the night... gotta turn the modem over to my dear sister, whose sense of planning rivals mine... we're both a little scatter brained when absorbed in something we like and tend to extend deadlines a bit.

ciao!

hello hello hello...

have you ever had a client who was so stupid that she didn't know that post-dated checks are legally acceptable tender, and any client can issue one? a client who is in real estate and didn't know that Lipa City was in Batangas province. A client who is so stupid that you wonder why she's there?

well, i have one such client, and her stupidity is killing me... plus that fact that she feels superior because she reports directly to the president (granted that she only agrees with the president and never does anything else)

i'm thinking of dropping the contract with them... which, uptil today has not been signed... which makes the contract null and void, since the contract of agreement should've been signed three weeks ago...

sigh... but i need their money... i'm just praying that her assistant gets promoted and she gets booted out REAL SOON!

so far, things are flowing smoothly... woke up on the right side of the bed with a burst of inspiration (only one other person knows what this means, and i'm not going to tell you) to start the week right. i finished what would've taken me half-a-day to finish in a matter of 2 hours.

argh... just received a phone all from the stupid client... following up things... i told her it'd be done at 1pm... she kept repeating it... sigh... how stupid can one get
