A Screw Up Sounds Good... Sometimes

I was told some TV anchor screwed up during the live broadcast. I never thought somebody will actually publish it.

Our cat is getting ready to attack after seeing me with a camera...

Working from home could be boring sometimes...

Movie Day: The Accidental Husband

Due to the lack of new and interesting movies, we had to settle with a romantic comedy, The Accidental Husband.

Well, it's neither good nor bad. I was more interested in trying to remember where I've seen one of the supporting characters.

It took me a while (due to deteriorating memory) before realizing that it was the guy from Office Space. The one who played Mr. Samir Nagheenanajar (yeah, try pronouncing it as fast as you can).

Watching him in his short scenes was more entertaining than the rest of the movie. :P

Graft Monkey in Action

You've probably heard of U.S. President Barack Obama's recent visit to Ben's Chili Bowl. It was really interesting and admirable in some ways.

Well, yesterday the Great Monkey of Asia (from the Banana Republic), reportedly visited a McDonald's (an American fastfood chain) branch in Makati, ordered a longganisa meal, sat down with a bunch of call center agents, and had a chit-chat with them. Mostly about their personal lives and other stuffs like their request to extend MRT operations (and breakdowns) to until 12 midnight perhaps.

If I was there, I would probably have stuck a plastic knife on her neck...

but then I'm not really fond of eating at McDonald's... He he he... >:)

Shake

I decided to delay my call to my boss today because our good neighbor is playing the "Body Dancer" song from the 80's. Yes, the one popularized by Maricel Soriano. >:P

How am I supposed to explain that to my boss?

I definitely need to find a new place... :)

Mixed Up

A week ago, I contacted Emerald Headway about my Linux Magazine subscription. I asked Helen, who is in-charge of my account (Franklin Chua), to change the delivery address from the office (Makati) to my home address (Tondo).

Since I couldn't remember the last time I paid for the subscription, I asked her when my subscription ends. She told me that it's going to end this February. I recall her asking me about a "PC Magazine" to verify my subscription, to which I failed to clarify, because I assumed that I'm the only subscriber with the name "Franklin Chua".

It turned out that I was wrong... partially...

When the courier came (2 days late), he showed me a receipt with the name "Frankie Chu Ang". I immediately informed Helen about the mix up. I even wrote the correction in their copy of the receipt. I thought that was the end of it.

Yet I was wrong... again...

Today, I was surprised to see a copy of "C! Magazine" (Not PC!!!) on my desk, with the name "Frankie Chua". I should have told her "Wrong Person" instead of "Wrong Name". Ha ha!!!

I just inadvertently stole a magazine subscription from another person. Technically, I paid for his 2009 subscription and got his last copy for free. :P

Anyway, I should contact Miss Helen tomorrow to fix this confusion. :D

P.S. Perhaps this is a sign for me to consider getting a car... >:)
