The Belo - Abunda Feud
10:04 AM - Thursday, February 26, 2009
Haha. Missed blogging.
And since there's nothing interesting about my life right now, I decided to shift into "showbiz chismis mode".
Last Sunday at Showbiz Central, Vicky Belo was interviewed by the ever-twised DJ Mo Twister (Hail Good Times with Mo!) on his segment Gimme Mo. Then they've discussed the very heated rivalry between Belo and the Calayans -- that it is as big as the network wars already. And then, Belo came up (actually, it's Mo's idea) with a very witty response (and I quote):
"First of all, I felt really bad kasi ako naman ang nag umpisa ng mga bati bati ng mga artista, di ba? And it was years ago, so I feel bad kasi ginagaya lang nila ako. Sana naman magkaroon naman sila ng sarili nilang unique, ano.. marketing ano.. And all I would like to say is, If you want to look like BOY ABUNDA, go to Doctor Calayan, If you want to look like Dingdong Dantes and Piolo Pascual, go to Belo."
Wahahaha! And from that moment on, I stopped hating Vicky Belo (used to hate before because I have this huge crush on Hayden Kho).
Of course, a statement like that will create controversy. And then, next day, Boy Abunda shows up crying like a baby, claiming that he's been hurt and saying "Alam mo namang never akong namuhunan sa panlabas kong anyo, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah..."
Ugh. The hypocrisy is nauseating!!!
So okay, let me tell you the "chismis" why Belo's and Abunda's friendship fell apart.
Kasi, Boy used to endorse Vicky's business. Then, Boy was offered a bigger talent fee by Calayan, eh ang lola mo mukhang pera, so he transferred to Calayan. And what's worse is his tagline in his new advertisement is "I deserve better".
Wow. That's like a punch in the face (if we're talking about real men, but since it is Boy Abunda that we're talking about, well, erm, you get the picture -- a slap in the face).
Trading friendship for money isn't always a good thing.
So yeah, its water under the bridge.
And then Belo comes up with this funny-but-SUPER-TRUE joke about him and he's pissed?!
And I'm like, "What? You lambast so many people on a daily basis because of your job as a "chismis show host" (but I don't think he's doing that for the money but because it's fun for him) and now that someone made a joke on you, you cry?". I don't think he's in the right place to cry and complain -- you're just having a dose of your own medicine, my friend.
And besides, the comparison was LOGICAL because he's the main endorser of the Calayans while Piolo and Dingdong are the main endorsers of the Belo Medical Group.
Eh kundi ba naman "tonto" sila Calayan eh bakit nila kinuha si Boy as endorser. Your business is about cosmetic surgery and making people LOOK GREAT, for crying out loud!!!
And then Manny Calayan defends Boy by saying "what we're really promoting is inner beauty...". Yeah right, stop BS-ing the people.
Hay nako, Boy, what's worse? Being called by your former best friend an ugly creature (though implied) or having your best friend leave you for your competitor because of money?!
Hay hay. Vicky Belo through and through!!!
Stumped in Stupidity
10:26 AM - Monday, February 23, 2009
Oh my.
I have just received my first call from Australia.
...and I SUCKED BIGTIME!
It's 7:18 in the morning, and then my phone rang up...and the caller ID show AR-AU.
So, I freaked out...I was just super stumped.
And then the caller was ordering some chocos whatever.
Darn it.
And I'm like, "Sorry, Sir but you have called the wrong number, yaddah-yaddah-yaddah..."
Whew.
It was stressful, really.
First call, and it was a wrong number.
And I really didn't know what to do.
Darn it. Darn it. Darn it.
P.S. Good thing the guy wasn't masungit, or else I would've had my first taste of their infamous "rudeness" (I'm not saying that they are all rude!).
Good LORD.
and Manong Leo said that my driving skills are IMPROVING!!!
At least my day is still cool.
Friday the 13th indeed
12:20 PM - Thursday, February 12, 2009
FRIDAY, THE 13th. Wow.
Haha. What a great prelude to the overrated holiday -- Valentine's Day.
Decided NOT TO DRIVE the car today. Wala lang. Had this effing feeling that I'm super accident-prone...and decided NOT to take the chance; It's our lives (mine, Manong Leo's, and my Dad's) and the car on the line. Heehee.
Arrived at the office earlier than the usual. Just another ordinary day.
But then I remembered my dream last night.
It's not a secret that I've just recently broken my heart (yet again...palagi naman, hindi na news yan) courtesy of my ex-bf-whom-I-think-is-driven-by-revenge (decided not to go into details...hahaha) last January 18, 2009. And I've (unfortunately) dreamt of that effing guy last night. And in my dream, the cheekies (our barkada) decided to meet up this Valentine's Day and he took his NEW EFFING GIRLFRIEND with him!!! Darn it! Of course, I was super pissed (even if it was just a dream). Haha. And in my dream, the girl kept on talking and trying to befriend me. Kainis. It is totally irrational, but really, as a disgruntled ex-girlfriend who's still mooning over her ex-boyfriend but that said ex-boyfriend's committed to someone new already, NOTHING that she will ever do will be alright with me! She'll do nothing right! Hahaha. (It's a fact, ladies, agree?!)
And then I'm currently mooning over an officemate who I know wouldn't even give me a second glance. Haha. He's absent today. But yesterday, I saw him walking from the office to his house while I was riding the jeep (sakto kasi traffic kaya magkasabay lang yung speed niya sa paglalakad and sa pag-andar nung jeep). Haha. Had the chance to look at him UNINTERRUPTED while he's walking. Haha.
Anyhoo, at least God gave me some chances with them (kahit chance lang na matitigan sya ng matagal na hindi nya nalalaman, or kahit chance lang na makapag-explain sa kanya about the past, although mukhang hindi naman sya na-move sa explanations ko). Heehee.
It's not YET my time, I believe so.
Then I received this email from James (an officemate). And super sakto ng message....
*February 13, before Valentine's day, come to work wearing your heart on your sleeve...*
Wear WHITE if you are SINGLE AND LOOKING
Wear GRAY if you are NOT INTERESTED IN RELATIONSHIPS/COMMITMENTS
Wear RED if you are COMMITTED AND HAPPY
Wear BROWN if you are COMMITTED BUT YOU WANT OUT
Wear BLUE if you are IN LOVE WITH YOUR FRIEND/LIKE SOMEONE IN THE SCHOOL/OFFICE
Wear YELLOW if you are DATING/INLOVE BUT NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP
Wear GREEN if you are in a 3RD PARTY RELATIONSHIP
Wear BLACK if you are BROKENHEARTED
Wear STRIPES if you have MORE THAN ONE RELATIONSHIP
Wear PINK if you are in SAME SEX RELATIONSHIP
Wear ORANGE if you DIDN'T HAVE ANY RELATIONSHIP SINCE BIRTH
...SAKTO! I'm wearing BLUE today! Weetwiw!!! (Although mas sakto sana kung BLACK)
'Nuff said.
On the lighter side of things, my uber-funny-and-exuberant officemate James made this PowerPoint presentation. It features LOVE QUOTES applicable to each AU-Retail member. Haha. Funny yung quote na associated sa akin...palibhasa, medyo walang idea sa lovelife ko si James kaya binase nya nalang sa personality ko yung quote. Wahaha. See for yourselves. Kudos, James!!!
Well, in fairness, may date naman ako bukas. Ako ang ka-date ni Joan bukas ng umaga (tas si Kules ang ka-date nya sa gabi...ahahaha). Valentine's Day naman is not just about "romantic love". Valentine's Day is a day to celebrate all kinds of love -- parental love, brotherly/sisterly love, friendship, etc. Or it will be better if we celebrate love everyday. :p
P.S. Thanks to James for his wonderful Valentine's treat.
New Milestone
9:00 AM - Tuesday, February 10, 2009
Just wanna rant about them. Bear with me, my friends,
February 10, 2009 - Tuesday - Managed to fulfill my "Payment Application Officer" role ALONE (Iniwan ako ni Marriane. Huhu!). And hindi ako nag-overtime!!!!!!
February 11, 2008 - Wednesday Morning - Finally had the guts to drive the car from our house to the office! Woohoo! I don't know how I did it -- how I managed to squeeze through throngs (wow as if andaming sasakyan) of other cars in the very narrow streets of Valenzuela (Punturin, Bignay, and Libtong Bulacan) but I'm very ecstatic (though at the expense of other disgruntled drivers who were stuck at the back of the line due to my "kabagalan" sa pagdadrive). Hehe.
LOL - LOVE YOU LORD!!!!
Woooooohoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
P.S. Excuse my exuberance.
Am I that bad?!
