EB

Has it been 7 years already?

Here's some messages and photos of the K-lite Mailing List,Off-Mic or Litemail, depends on where you're coming from. Nicked this from the yahoogroups message archives. Too bad I couldn't get earlier posts before the list moved to yahoo!

hello guys,
how was ur weekend?
mine was pretty cool. Sun UP! i finally got to meet **Tina and **Dino. i didnt realize past 4 na pala yun, hahaha Tina alam mo ba kinabag ako when i got home. [ugh my gas was so bad] i normally dont go out when i work, so my bro had a grand time teasing me for 2 days.

Sheila
i wish u were w/us last saturday. i like talking about food. if im correct u dont live near del monte or welcome rotonda, but if u get the chance to, check out the food at AKU[Speaker Perez cor. Retiro], it's got crepe, belgian waffle, korean food, pastries and baked goodies, pasta, creme puff, and some more i forgot. today i went there for the 2nd time w/ my family and this time i had apple&cinnamon crepe, fettuccini, and calamansi juice. plus patikim tikim ng order nila, hahaha. masarap yung chapchee huh, parang sotanghon yun w/ egg strips and korean sahog, whatever those were, basta masarap! *burp*

Dino
Shyguy Dino. tahimik mo pala. ala DJ Unplugged, hehehe. thanx for the tip regarding SportsLite!
likes to dance huh... hmn i bet u dance on the ledge sa disco, or sa cage... ay thats different. gumigiling ka ba? yay!
and thanx too for the gatorade tip. [pag lbm drink gatorade]

Tina
hey hindeous kinky girl, hehe. oo nga no, sana naman i didnt sound like a bathroom readers book, regarding dun sa mga inside stories na i shared w/ u guys, haha. oh how stupid of me i didnt get to let u hear my Bart Simpson voice, ayayayay. sana nga mag eb pa tayo ulit, and hopefully mas marami pa. ok sa SBest ano? crowd ko, HAHAHA. malay natin duon din ako makatagpo. ng biktima, hahaha. i was thinking i mustve looked awful, my eyes were puffy [power puff kuno] from watching Oprah the previous night. oh i got some great news too! this afternoon i got lucky, saw 2 books by LaVyrle Spencer, Sweet Memories and Small Town Girl. SMT is the last novel she wrote before she retired. im not so sure abt SM if id read it or not yet, but just the same, i think i already lost it if i did have it before. when's the next eb? same place and same time is convenient, i think. breakfast eb sounds ok din, or junk food eb..... streetfood eb sounds hilarious, ill drag the mamang taho by his hair and then ill fart megadecibels later, nyaaahhh. or have lots of kwek kwek [a.k.a. tokneneng or garfield] then have a heart thanx a lot for the Tongue Twisters. twisted !!
are we gonna make an eb recap? nyikes, almost 6 hrs yun ha....!!

ok gotta run!
irene3

to Irene,
Just one question. Where did you get the idea that I love to dance? Even
though I do not have 2 left feet( my feet are okay) but i guess it's been
switched.NIce meeting you!

to Tina,
Nice meeting you also,(and Irene too). Wish we could do this more often

Irene,
Hi! Thanks for the tickets to Mas Y Mas nga pala.Nope , you didn't
sound like a Bathroom Readers' book at all. I had so much fun nga
listening to your stories eh.Ang dami kong nalaman through you and I
had so much fun coz good-conversationalist ka eh and masarap to be
with someone na iba-iba pinag-uusapan diba? Pati si Zsa Zsa and
Jackie Chan and Lorna Tolentino we talked about din diba? Zsa Zsa Padilla
pala is medyo mababaw lang din. Imagine, happy na rin siya chatting
with people. I realy had fun. I can't forget ti whne you said lasang
Ventolin yung blue Raw Spirit. I really had a laugh.Imagine, umabot
tayo ng 4 dun and we didn't even notice? Regarding your Bart Simpson
voice, oo nga sayang di namin narinig ni Dino. Well,there is always a
next time OKay nga Seattle's Best, a good place talaga to talk and
talk.Dami ngang Chinese dun a!Eb natin sana in a cafe din but a bit
bigger. Do you know a big coffe shop, guys? Anyway, Irene, Diba I
told you birthday ng brother ko yesterday. Last night we went to Cactus
(sa Libis. know that place?). Okay naman yung place. I ordered a bottle
of Sub-Zero out of curiousity and okay naman siya. Parang mule din.
After that , we went to a videoke. We had our own room (200 per hour,
consumable)and we just sang (my sister in law , my Mom, and I )while
my brothers played billiards.


AT FIRST THERE WERE 3, THEN.....

irene3,

sana malapit na next eb...
san ba? i hope i could be there and thanks for the advance invitation!
gen

Caller#5 – St. Mark – (a member of the mailing list…Yipee!) He talked about
the EB..he suggested Greenhills. They counted the members….Lil D PROMISED!!
To sponsor the venue…PROMISED!!…PROMISED!! …take note…And they want to meet up with Tina and Vikkicar to organize the EB! Yahoo!!!!!!!(Can’t contain my
emotions guys!!!!!)
They also talked about the AMA jokes where Tina got a bit pissed. Jokes are
becoming too offensive lately.

Lil D – Jokes like this shouldn’t be put in a public forum.…It may cause
problems.
Monica – Mommy curly tops is strict eh. Personally I think these jokes, if
they go too far, or too offensive, there are some people who can’t take
it..be a little more cautious. If you get offended, be a little more
patient. Compromise…be a little more cautious and be a little not too
sensitive too.

hi guys,

the EB venue is partially solved by li'l D's suggestion(invitation?)
to have it in their building...actually i will vote for megamall; (1)
it's accessible to everyone, (2) it's near k-lite's office and that's
where the tripod are hanging out, so they have no excuse just in case
they fail to drop by, di ba?

have a good day!!!

myra
hi guys,
i agree with u st. mark by the way i heard u over the radio lastnight. im gald
to hear that the deejays of nitelite are well informed of wats goin on at the
mailing list. thank monica, little d. and blade for offering the building for
the EB venue at least yon medyo will me half na din.

gen:)

Hi Little David.

Really, you'll take care of the EB venue? That would be great.Hey,
thanks. I'll just go there at K-Lite as soon as I can , together with
Vikkicar and probably with Ederic,too(siyempre shy ako mag-isa
eh...hehehe!) Kidding aside, Vikki and Ederic sama din kayo ha so
that there'll be more people included sa pagpla-plan/pago-organize
and everything.Guys, I really need you!!!! (okay,OA na )
Regarding that AMA thingie, naku,na-broadcast pa ang ang aking pagka-
offend....hehehe! But really, there are just things I stand for. Yun
lang.

Till next time,
Tina


HI guys! Excited na kayo sa EB no? Ako din!

Tentative date : Sept.30, 2000, Satruday 3 p.m onwards
Venue:Paragon Plaza 15th floor (not at the K-Lite office itself)
Corner Reliance
Note:Pot-luck. I know it would be difficult, especially for thsoe who
will commute like me, to bring so much food for everyone so at least,
bring food na makakaya nyong i-carry.Vikki said she'll probably bring
burgers.

Vikki , Ederic and i will talk to Little David first on the 23rd to
finalize everything and then pag okay na , we'll tell you everything.
And Irene, sana sumama ka rin sa amin when we talk to Little David sa
Sept. 23 nga.

Btw, honestly, that thing they talked about at Nitelite scared me.
Dun din kasi ako dadaan sa overpass eh. What am I to do? Ano yung sabi
nila, just go to Manuela, cross to Shangri-la and then a cab/tricyle
there? Oh no! Marami bang cab/tricycle dun and do they know kaya
where Paragon Plaza is? Kasi naman baka I would have to teach them the
directions pa eh di ko rin kabisado lao na kung sa side streets sila
dadaaan.And what if pag na-obvious dun sa driver na I don't exactly
know where Paragon is, naku baka dayain ako sa fare and pabayarin ako
ng sobra. Lam nyo naman, jerks ang drivers dito sa metropolis eh.
GRRR! basta all I know is yung sa highway. Basta I justknow na pag lumagpas
na sa megamall, medyo malapit na yon so I always look to the left
para makita ko yung building. It is huge naman so I easily notice it eh.
Tapos,I get down dun sa other side of the street (across Paragon)and
then I cross the overpass nga.Kaso dangerous pala dun eh. Please help
me kasi super takot ako eh.Seriously, I don't know what to do.Please
help me lalo na yung from North(or East) din manggagaling like let's
say Marikina, Cainta...whatever! Hindi kasi ako gala and siyempre,
yung easy route ang tina-take ko kaya lang dangerous eh. Please help
me naman decide what to do.Pero wga naman yung super nakakalito ha!
Thanks. And oh, isip na kayo ng foods na dalhin ha kasi kasama din
antin sila Monica, Lild, Blade, and the k-lite guys and gals!

till next time,
Mommy Curly Tops (tina)

man flu

I don't understand why I couldn't get myself to blog at my multiply site when it's perfectly normal to do so. Hey, why fix something that ain't broke?
Something's amiss when you've been sick the past 8 days like I have. It all started when I was partly drenched by the rains last Thursday. I was on my way to the gym when it poured, just as I am only a few meters away from the door. Never knew what hit me after that. Woke up the next day with the sniffles, a slight fever and a very sore throat. Being a weekend, I still went to work coz I was scheduled to meet up with friends that evening. Suffice to say that I didn't come as may "man flu"was full blown by the end of the day. Feeling week, I slept early to get some extra rest. I woke up with the worst fever I've had in recent memory and I had to cancel all my appointments that day and hoping everything will clear up on Sunday.
It didn't.
Hoping for the best, I went ahead and still met with clients the whole afternoon while on a lot of medication, hoping to clear up some time before the start of a new week. I went home drained and and still hoping that the worst was over.
It wasn't.
I still had a slight fever and my body's still achin'. With a full workload ahead, I took my medicine and trooped to the office, where for the next 5 days, I'll be infecting my officemates with my virus. The fever and the muscle pain disappeared one by one, while my incessant coughing has left my throat very sore and my voice very hoarse. I already have a small drug den, with the pills, syrups and vitamins that I bought, hoping for a cure, only to realize when a nurse friend of mine told me that there's no remedy for the common cold.
Shit.
My friend told me that I have what they normally called a "man flu." It's all the same she said, the difference is only when a man gets it, he whines about it and not do a thing while if a woman gets it, she still has to do her chores and errands.
Well, who's whining?

I often surprise myself on how I can be a jerk sometimes.

I was supposed to write about a fire that burned another house in my street last Saturday. I was wasting my time daydreaming/ sleeping in the afternoon till a commotion roused me and I checked. A 3-door apartment was already engulfed in thick, black smoke as I peered out the door, almost at the same time as the first firetrucks' arrived. My immediate panic was quelled when I saw that it was on the other side of the street, but still, flashback of the near fire that destroyed the house behind ours played inside my head.

But I digress....

I always remind myself to not become the guy on TV who breaks the heart of a girl but I just did. I didn't just break a girls' heart but I did it to someone who doesn't deserve her heart broken. My sensibilities can do a Houdini on me at the most inopportune moment. I may have just thrown away the best thing that could ever happen to me. Common sense can also kick you in the groin and catch you off-guard.

Isn't that spit-in-your face, kick-you-in-the-crotch fantastic!

What a jerk!

high

The week flew by very quickly, that always happens when the 'ber" months rolls in. Twas also my first full week at work sans holidays and sick days. I was expecting the dread to wear me down but it's already Friday and I'm still in high spirits. It's not surprising though, at least on my part. Been catchin' up with a friend from long ago and been spendin' my nights chattin' on YM. It's really a thrill even after all these years.

Spent the weekend at my HS buddy Alvin's house to celebrate his 30+ birthday. He was the 2nd youngest (I think) in our batch while I was the youngest (I presume). It's almost 20 years and he has never run out of stories to tell (or re-tell for that matter).

Last month, my brother and I finally bought and Ipod after many months of waiting, (and saving). I already got an ipod shuffle, the one i redeemed from my credit card purchases but this was the one we planned on buying. I also bought my first song/s on ITunes and quickly transfered it to my shuffle, and later found out that you can only sync it on one device! (Darn!) I was all happy and content till I read the news yesterday and found out this...
Kainis! I am saving up for this one.....

Drat.
