Sermon

The priest's homily was about good deeds being useless if they don't come with good intentions.

PRIEST: Tingnan mo ang katabi mo. Alam mo ba ang iniisip n'ya?

Koko looks at me and whispers: Mama, alam kong iniisip mo. You're thinking of food.

Tumpak! You guessed it right.

What do you do when you're not doing anything?

If you're working in an office, you can't just sit and wait for 6 PM.

In my subtitling job, we used to watch old files. Relax and learn a thing or two about the right way to do subtitling. Marami-rami ring Family Guy episodes akong napanood during my spare time. At first, okay siya. Pero after a while, hindi na.

Now that I'm back in advertising, it's a different story. There's more freedom when it comes to spare time. If you're a good employee, you could think of initiatives. Pero pwede ka ring mag-facebook, mag-blog, mag-chat... Kahapon, nag research ako -- ano kaya ang pwede halloween costume ng mga jugets?

Saya, 'no? Pero kwidaw -- this is the lull before the storm.

Remember the annual physical exam in your first job? Parang... wala lang. Chance to get out of the office for a few minutes. I'm strong, I'm invincible, I am woman!

But when you're getting old, the annual physical exam becomes a dreaded time of the year. What illness will you discover? What signs of aging will manifest itself in the test results?

In our office, management had to resort to threats to make people go and take that annual physical exam. Ganun?! Ignorance is bliss, ika nga. What you don't know won't hurt you.

Tapos na ako, except for the poop.

Now, I wait with bated breath for the results.

Heard at the MRT

GIRL 1: Anong ibig sabihin ng GRO?
GIRL 2: Garbage... Room... Officer...?
GIRL 1: Anuveh! Ano nga ang ibig sabihin ng GRO?
GIRL 2: LBC!

DRIVER: Sa mga humahawak sa pintuan, baka mauwi n'yo yan. Hindi tayo makaalis dito.
