Good Morning!

I was on my way to Trinoma one afternoon riding a trike (yes, i ride a trike - poor lang!) when I saw this larger sticker posted on a tricycle...


And I thought to myself to make this post of things that make my mornings real good...

1. Breakfast in bed. You wake up starving. And your too lazy to get up and prepare breakfast. Or perhaps, too lazy to get up to get  food. A morning breakfast in bed would be great!

2. The perfect sunlight. Although gloomy and rainy mornings are also good, as they induce more pillow-hugging, hiding-under-your-blanket, crawling into your bed action, I'd rather have the sunlight every morning. Not the almost-noon-sunlight, but the sunrise-sunlight..

3. Waking up from a perfect dream. The dream you have been daydreaming about. The dream that you wished would come true. The dream that you wished would never end. I would sometimes think this is a good morning breaker, as when you wake up, you realize that you were only "dreaming." But for things we know would be impossible to reach, dreams make perfect sense.

4. Completing the 8 hours sleep. Who would wanna wake up with less than 8 hours of sleep. Completing 8 hours of sleep for me would me 24-hour patience..

5. Waking up with the one you love. Morning kisses. Morning hugs. Morning romance. Morning sex! No. Really. Just the feeling of waking up with the one you love is just plain real good.

Next stop... my real bad morning starters... 

How bout you?

Concert of the Year!

Yeah!

I was supposed to blog about this immediately when I came home around 3 am yesterday but since I haven't had sleep for more than a day since I ended my shift Saturday, I had no option but to cater to my tired and worn out body. After almost a day of uninterrupted sleep, now here I am, ready to blog about it.

What else will I be blogging about. I blogged about Lifehouse, Daughtry and Chicane, of course, I'll be blogging about the concert of the year - Rihanna and Chris Brown!

What I did hate about the concert was the venue. Since it was an open field, the screams didn't sound that loud. As compared to a closed space like Araneta. And since poor lang ako. At malayo ang pwesto namin, hindi namin masyadong nakita. Kamusta nmn yon diba? Pero ok lang may mga malalaking screens nmn don. At least. Ha ha. The interval between Chris Brown's concert and Rihanna's is so long. Eh kamusta nmn at nakatayo pa kami no? Dapat kasi yung area pataas. Ha ha. 

Again, I'd be telling myself, dapat sa VIP ako eh. Ha ha. Inggit ako sa officemate kong nagreklamo ng sobra sobra sa globe, ayun nabigyan ng free tickets sa concert. Sa may harap harap. 

Anyways, Chris Brown and Rihanna just did a great job! Sobrang galing. Dahil I never missed a concert without reecording a piece of it, I recorded almost all of it. Too bad my phone almost got drained nung last song nila. 

When Rihanna was almost done with all of her hits, I thought she just missed a song... Or I mean the song... Then she started singing it.. ella.. ella.. ella.. Then in the middle of the song, Chris Brown came and started singing the remix version. Shet! Ang sweet nila sa stage! Too bad I wasn't able to record that last part. So this was taken sa you-tube. Too bad is putol. And kainis hindi man lang sila nagkiss! Ha ha ha! 

Buti na lang hindi sya nag near-collapse (Like in Sydney) pero she was flying (sa Sydney)... and good thing hindi na-cancel yung show (Like sa Indonesia!)

Grrrr!

i was about to write about happy mornings when i decided not to.

dahil naiinis ako.

you wanna know why?

philippine taxes! damn it.

instead of being happy and merry dahil, yey! sweldo na.. 13th month and all that... you suddenly see your taxes!

shit!

and now, ang perang ilalaan sa mga bagay-bagay na dapat paglaanan, will just go down the drain and end up on motherfucking stupid politicians' purses and pockets!

my hard-earned money, only to feed their stupid asses?

The Voicemail

i expected this night to be a little cute. coz its halloween! and yeah i'd be seeing cute people in their costumes, with their headsets on and talking to freaked out customers who needs technical support. other than that i wasn't expecting anything unusual. (hindi ako lapitin sa multo, i've had no ghost experience in my life, and my third eye, as they would say, is firmly shut, sewn, locked, taped and cemented!)

it was a little over past 9 when i arrived at the office. i came in late for work because of the long queue at national bookstore (its where they sold rihanna-chris brown tickets-and yesterday's the last day for the early bird price...) and in a super rush mode, i immediately turn the computer, got my phone and when to the locker to get stuff. when i got back, i started pressing numbers to check the voicemail, to see, and by default there would be, anyone who might have called the hotline. 

and so the damn ivr spoke.. gave instructions and menu and then the freaky "a-c-c-b-c-c-c..." sound made by the phone came. then the start of the voice messages. nothing new for the first few messages. i would normally make fun of it. id say "wag ka nang lang pumasok forever (referring to someone who kept calling almost daily...), asus, body katamaran! (for people claiming that they are experiencing body pains), feeling mo lang yon! (people for claim that they are not feeling well...) and so forth...

then there this voice mail. it was all a garble to me when i first heard it. it came to me like "oh, probably someone just forgot that he was calling this number and he left the phone hanging..." and so i listened until at the end of the voice mail... there was this really disturbing sound... a sound in between distorted sound of a gun and big appliance being thrown to the ground... 

my boss, who was intentionally listening to the voice messages, got alarmed by this sound that he asked me for a replay. we played it again, and both of us had our ears to the phone with the loudspeaker on and the volume to the highest level...

then there was this unrecognizable sound or perhaps conversation... then after a few seconds... some words became clear...

"bakit po?"

"kidnap to..."

holy f*ck. what the hell is this? we continued to listen. trying to discern every sound made.

"taas mo kamay mo!"

"stupido!"

then a few more unrecognized sounds. then there were sound of a couple of men talking. sounds of the guy almost crying and begging for help. there was this sound of perhaps the caller being held on his neck and him gasping for air.

shit. real shit. this is freakier than halloween.

after playing a couple of more times. we're left stuck nowhere. we had hoped its a prank call but it would have been so concerted that it sounded so true. and our instincts are telling us this is not a practical joke!

we had our managers listened to it and they were shocked and clueless as well. there was no name mentioned on the call. and the number was not given. but there was a time stamp - 10:31 am! Voice IT personnel came and checked the voicemail. unfortunately, the can't trace it. even globe, to whom the company's lines are based on, can't trace it for there was no "tracer" when the call was made (at least, that' what i heard from what OM told me...) 

we ended up not being able to know who the caller was. or what was the number used. as told by our OM, this would be handled by HR and perhaps be forwarded to the authorities... i just hope the guy's ok...

we tried to discern carefully the words spoken on the message. little by little we understood. but what struck us the most was this few words spoken by one of the "bad" guys...

"wag mo muna papatayin!"







...can your halloween get any freakier than this?






...the voice message is still stored in the phone
