THOUGHTS ON A FRIDAY

I was telling Petite while we were in El Pueblo last weekend that I had a feeling of deja vu. I had thought there’s a place like that in San Jose, Costa Rica. I checked with MB. I was right, and guess what? It's also called El Pueblo!

* * * * *
Someone got to my site while searching for sex+organizer+Ortigas. Gawd, I didn't know you need an organizer for that nowadays.

* * * * *
A lot of folks have told me my previous colors were blinding. Egad! Hope these shades are better. I certainly can't afford eye surgeries :P

* * * * *
7 more days… My visa’s out. My shipment’s been surveyed. My plane ticket and pocket money’s ready. Shopped for stuff that I won’t find in the U.S. (Oishi’s Salt and Vinegar cracklings, Likas Papaya Soap, Mama Sita’s Tocino mix). Been in a send off frenzy. I’m all set to go, except I haven’t started packing yet. My unit is now filled with boxes and bags!! Panic mode begin…

* * * * *
Speaking of send off’s, one of my PE’s held one in his Cavite apt. last night. It was the first time that I bonded with the engineers in a non-work related way and I had so much fun. A few of the guys played the guitar (and we sang to Ehead’s Pare Ko, Huling EL Bimbo, Ligaya, and then Leaving on a Jet Plane, then more kantang-lasing songs) while we made tagay (ok, sorry, but I didn’t quite know how to articulate that.. haha) Gilbey’s gin washed down with orange juice, then some rum with Coke, chilled red wine, then more gin with OJ, then finally gin with pomelo juice. I know. Driving while drunk is absolutely unsafe. Specially, long distance driving, but I gratefully made it home (Makati) in one piece. Di na po uulitin!

But really, it’s been a while since I did that. You know, just hang out in somebody's house and get drunk while someone is playing an instrument in the background. So college days gimik! All the guys in the barkada knew how to play, and I, being the only rose, would monopolize all the songs na pang-girl. Hehe. Frustrated band singer kase :P

Also, it’s been a while since I let my hair down with office folks. Ever since I became a group leader, my former peers sort of stayed away from me. And the young ones (RCGs or the recent college graduates) just followed suit. It’s mostly because of work ethics more than anything else. (Or at least I hope it’s not because they hate me or something! Oh no!) But yeah, there’s such a thing as our non-fraternization policy. And the party-girl Trixy will just have to take the backseat while not-quite-mid-manager Trixy take the wheel. Last night though, naki-kwentuhang lasing din ako, admitting that RA, one of the managers here, was my crush, after one of the guys impersonated him, then declare RA was definitely gay. I had to defend RA, though I’ve long suspected that he might be (you know, those muscles, the deep voice and the tight shirts). :P I was thinking I’ll be gone for almost a year anyways, and maybe their memories are short, and that alcohol might even make it shorter. By 2003, they'll think that party-girl Trixy was just a figment of their imagination. Lol!
