Twitter Confusion

Aside from my own twitter account, @orleee, I am also managing my Dubai choir’s twitter account, @cvc_dve. I am being myself whenever I tweet on my own account while I only announce Christian Voices Chorale’s events using the church choir’s account.

One drunken evening, I saw a tweet from @jamylya407, sharing her experience reading FIFTY SHADES OF GREY.
I commented, “Kinky!” Of course, knowing Murphy’s Law, I was using @cvc_dve.
@jamyla407 replied, “Yes. At talagang church choir ang nagre-reply sa akin.”
That’s when I realized my mistake. I immediately deleted my tweet and pretended nothing happened.

 

Anj: Natalayer

In the wake of the the #AMALAYER incident, one friend clarified her side…

 

European Excitement 2

“Gising na ako!” Anj sent early in the morning, “Para tapos na ang paghihintay.”

 

Dictation Function of OSX Mountain Lion

We were trying to book our hotel reservations for our European tour and we needed to encode “PARIS” in the destination city in one hotel website.
Instead of typing P-A-R-I-S, I have used the new OSX Mountain Lion feature: Dictation (A Siri-like program). I pressed fn thrice and the option to speak popped up. I told my computer, “PARIS”.

I was expecting a “Wow! Hightech!” comment from Ness, Patrick and Anj but their comment was, “ANG TAMAD!”
Oh! Technology! You’ve have become passé!

 

Call Me Maybe

My first attempt to (officially) star, edit and upload a music video.

Anj Birthday Greeting 2012

It’s Anj’s birthday…

 

Extremely Loud

I told Anj, “Naka-2 na akong Oscar 2012 Best Picture nominee,”
“Maganda yung The Help,” she answered.
“Ang gusto ko sanang mapanood ‘Extremely Loud and Super Close’,” I told her.
“Super Close?!”

 

New Year’s Party Line

It was 8 pm and we were on our way to see the Burj Khalifa’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks when.. we all realized that it was 12 MN in Manila!

Everybody dialed. Trying to send our personal sweet messages to each of our families.
“Hello!? Happy New Year!” screamed Ella.
“Ate, Happy New Year!” Atong said to his sister.
When I finally dialed Cavite, I told my Nanay my Happy New Year message.
Everybody else succeeded except for Anj who cannot dial her family in Bicol. She told us, “Huy!…. Tama na kayo! Ibaba n’yo na para ako naman!”

Happy 2012!

 

The Coca-Cola OFW Project

The first time I saw this video was last week, in a restaurant in Dubai Mall with my Puss in Boots buddies. We all cried watching it. It was embarrassing as the other table could easily see us and say, “Those Filipinos are crying their eyes out? WHY?”

After a few minutes, we strolled the Dubai Fountain and being the sadist that I am, forced them to watch it again with the same effect.

This evening, I wondered if it would create the same effect, so I told Anj, “Try natin ulit kung iiyak pa tayo…”
