Work Tales

I was training some of our employees earlier today and to check for comprehension, I was calling random people for recitation.

Anyway, there was this person sitting at the back of the class who seemed quiet all throughout the training. I wanted to make sure that the person understood everything that I have discussed so I called the person’s attention.

Khaye :       “Sir…”

Employee - Me?

Khaye :      Yes you. So what can you say about… yada-yada-yada…

When the class was over, someone approached me and told me in between fits of laughter what I had just done.

It turned out, si Sir pala ay isang Ma’am.

Sorry naman at ndi ko alam. =(

Kaso muka kase talaga syang lalake.

Nakakahiya ako.

Gusto ko lamunen sa harapan ng klase.

Hehehheheheehe.

Whhooopppeee!

My long weekend starts today. Yehey! My boss lent me two of her paperback novels so I’m thinking of spending my entire weekend at home just curled up in bed in my ratty pambahay and all – reading and eating and napping and thinking of crazy things to do in-between. But a part of me also wants to go out and do something fun. There’s this interesting restaurant that I’ve always wanted to try but never really had the chance to do so.  This weekend might be the best time to go.  

Bahala na.

On a different note, I get bothered when I watch Dengue infomercials on TV.  The number of Dengue cases is rising at a very alarming rate. Putting insect-repellant lotion used to be a part of my bedtime ritual but I stopped using it eventually mainly because I find the texture of the lotion too thick and too sticky for my liking.  But because I’m paranoid, I’m back to using it everyday.  I was in the grocery the other day and I noticed that apart from insect-repellant lotions and patches, they now have it in bracelet form! How ingenious! I love it! I wanted to get one for myself but the bracelets are for kids.  Pang-bata yung mga designs and I would look silly if I ever decide to wear one.  Do you know where I can buy wristbands or bracelets for adults? Help?

Have a fun, safe and lamok-free weekend everyone!!!!! =)

Does your job suck?!

If you feel like you're stuck in a dead-end job with a boss who can pass as The Devil's twin brother, think again.  There are jobs out there that are far worse than yours.

THE FLUFFER

So what is a Fluffer? [This was taken from wikipedia.]

A fluffer is a hired member of the crew of a pornographic movie whose role on the set is to sexually arouse the male participants prior to the filming of scenes that require erections.

Commonly, fluffers keep adult film stars "cleaned up" in between takes so that the actors do not have to move from their positions. These duties, which do not necessarily involve touching the actors, are considered part of the makeup department. After setting up the desired angle, the director asks the actors to hold position and calls for the fluffer to "fluff" the actors for the shot.

In other words, fluffers are part of the porn production but they aren't the porn stars. They are the ones who help the male porn stars prepare for a scene.  "Dick on Demand" - yes that is the better term. Hahaha. Because seriously, a man can only have his organ up for a maximum amount of time right? What's the average for Filipinos - 30mins to an hour? (Im totally clueless. Havent been in close proximity to those things yet, LOL!)

The job of the fluffer is to maintain the male porn star's erection. They must be "skillful" enough to get it up a couple of minutes after an intense orgasm because you dont just shoot one porn scene in a day, right? Para silang human vacuum! Hahaha. I don't likeeeeee!

So how much do fluffers make? Well, rumor has it that they get 5% of what the male porn star gets. That's ridiculously small, right?

Thoughts running through my head as I type this :

1 - Like other jobs out there, do their salaries vary depending on their competencies as a fluffer?

2 - Who determines their core competencies? Do they also have a scorecard? A weekly review? Annual performance Review?

3 - Do the best fluffers ever get promoted? What's next to being a fluffer? Is there such a thing as a Senior Fluffer?

Considering how naturally "matikas" Pinoy men are, I wonder if they still need fluffers here in the Philippines. LOL. Again, I heard this just through the grape-vine. I am innocent (until proven guilty, hehe).

If there were no other jobs available out there, would you consider being a fluffer? =) I want to know.

Weekend Tales: CERCHIO GRILL and LOUNGE

I love vegetables. There are days when I crave for nothing but veggies. My favorite vegetables are OKRA (because it is slimy when you pop it! It reminds me of something, haha!), AMPALAYA (because it is bitter and long and it has cute jagged ridges! Again, it reminds me of something, LOL!) and POTATOES. Speaking of potato, here's my favorite patatas joke of all time --

Two wives are buying vegetables in the palengke:

Wife 1: Mare, pag nakakakita ako ng potato, naiisip ko itlog ng mister ko!

Wife 2: Bakit? Ganyan ba kalaki?

Wife 1: Hindi! Ganyan siya kadumi!

I have a new addition to my list of favorite veggies - The CUCUMBER! Wait, is cucumber a vegetable? I don't feel like googling about it today but I'm almost (Operative word: ALMOST, lol)  sure that it is classified as a vegetable. Hehe.

Cool as Cucumber - P95

I went to this restaurant that serves the coolest Cucumber concoction! And the drink is aptly called - "Cool as Cucumber". It's a mixture of anything and everything nice. Hahahaha! (Wala akong kwenta magdescribe noh? LOL)

The name of the restaurant is CERCHIO. It's in Tomas Morato - right at the corner where Don Hen is located.

I honestly do not know how it is pronounced because I never bothered to ask any of the waiters. Hmmmm... Anyway, I am no designer but I like the interior of the place. There arent alot of visual distractions in the restaurant so you can focus on your food, your date or whoever it is that you're with, hehe! 

Minimalist Appeal

Here's what I ordered --

Pork Sisig - P230

Ang walang kamatayang Sisig. BOW. I liked how they plated the sisig. It was served in a bunch of three and each had a sunny-side-up quail egg on top! Hehehehe! I like my sisig crunchy and dry so I was a bit bummed out when I tasted mayonnaise in their sisig. It still tasted good but it would have tasted better sans the mayo.

Next up, KARE-KARE! Their Kare-kare more than made up for my not-so-heartening-sisig-experience.  There are only three ways I want to die

(1) I want to die peacefully in my sleep 

(2) death by erotic asphyxiation 

(3) I want to die by eating too much of this Kare-kare.

Yes, that's how much I loved their Kare-kare! Buwis-buhay ang lasa! Hahahaha! The peanut sauce was not too sweet and the pork and towels (tuwalya, haha!) were super tenderrrrr! 

     

Grilled Kare-kare - P450

There are still alot of other interesting food to try in their menu, unfortunately, my stomach can only hold so much wonderful gastronomic treats. But I will be back for sure. Again. And Again. Hehe.

And oh, last but not the least, they get 1,000 pogi points for having a big and clean restroom. =) 

If you guys want to try it out, here's their address :
