Holiday Chat

My tropa and I chatted from New York, Dubai and the Philippines last Christmas Day 2008.

The usual discussion was how I uglified big time. Joy told me ,”Orlee ang panget-panget mo na,” maybe it was because of my growing facial hair. The Philippines (x, Rommel and Arlyn) all laughed.

I then told them, “‘Di ba kailangan magpapanget sa Dubai? Imagine 3 months ang kinailangan para talagang ma-achieve ko ‘tong ganitong itsura.”

Arlyn immediately replied, “Hindi, Orlee, wala ka naman masyadong pinagbago eh. Minimal lang. Actually ‘yan na talaga ang itsura mo nuon pa man.”

I then told New York, “Kailangan ba in character kayo d’yan,? Joy? Rein? Kaninang umaga ‘di naman kayo naka-jacket! Porket ba kayo ang nasa Amerika, dapat kunyari giniginaw kayo? Kailangan ba naka-turban din ako?”

I immediately got my scarf and wrapped it around my face, “Ayan! Middle East!”

I also told Rommel, “Rommey, sunod ka na dito! Bagay ka dito (sa Dubai)!”

“Walang hiya ka, Orlee!” Rommel replied.

They all laughed.
