The Trainee

A man joined a big Multi National Company as a trainee...

On his first day, he dialled the kitchen and shouted into the phone:

"Get me a cup of coffee, quickly!"

The voice from the other side responded:

"Excuse me? You've dialled the wrong extension! Do you know who you're talking to?"

"No", replied the trainee.

"This is the Managing Director of the company!"

The trainee shouted back: "And do you know who YOU are talking to, you IDIOT?"

"No!" replied the Managing Director angrily.

"Thank God!" replied the trainee and put the phone down...

Ploning

Never was a Judy Ann Santos fan. And I have never watched any film of hers (nor have I ever had the curiosity to do so). The invite from Mike Abasolo, though, managed to sway me. The trailer is surprisingly good, the cinematography breath-taking and, from the looks of it, is a film that was made with so much heart. Not to mention, being proudly Filipino. Too bad I can't make it to the premiere at The Podium on Friday (why, oh why, did they have to make the sked 5pm?)...

Hot Fuss

I am refreshed, enervated, rejuvenated...after just a couple of days away from work! I even have time to update my blog - yay!

These past weeks, people have been all agog about the latest and juiciest news to do the rounds hereabouts. Being a relatively typical laidback culture, we don't really have a lot of stuff to get excited about. Well, save for maybe the recent arrivals of Ne-Yo and Maroon 5 on our shores. Once in a rare while, something unexpected hits us with the force of a gigantic tsunami and we merrily ride the wave of its' hype.

No one person can claim to have stirred up as much controversy of late.

Until one Mr. Brian Gorrell started a blog.

I gotta admit, I've been hooked since day one. I am not ashamed to admit that I have been an avid lurker - addicted 2 weeks after I accidentally stumbled on one of his first posts. The so-called adventures of the "Gucci Gang" is like an episode taken straight out of Gossip Girl. Oh, the excesses of the cirque du jour...tsk, tsk, tsk.

Check out what people have been saying in the comments portion! Verrrry interesting, to say the least...

Australian landscape designer Brian Gorrell has struck the mother lode. He says he only put up his blog to collect the $70,000 his former Filipino lover (whom he named his blog after) owes him. Because of his exposes and revelations, however, he has succeeded in shaking up denizens of Philippine "high society". And his blog isn't even a month old yet!

Read this excellent post commenting on his blog...

Mr. Gorrell follows on the heels of another much-publicized Bryan, who eschews people's opinions and just goes on about doing his own thing - much to the delight of a vast worldwide audience. Currently in the works (as rumors have it) for this Brian - a book and movie deal! Hope this helps him recoup his bamboozled money pronto.
