Holiday Blush

RED is this year’s Christmas Party theme!The much anticipated christmas party of the office which left everyone clamoring for the perfect RED outfit, red emsemble, red pair of shoes, red bag, ANYTHING WITH A HINT of RED. And because everyone wanted to look the bestest and sooo together of all among the lowlies – some came out ppfft. Haha! What is with all the fuss is beyond me. If you dress up all the time, getting riled up for any party is very ordinary. *coughmecough* But the pressure of living up to people’s expectation is heavvyyy soo… Okay, this is THE parrtyy of PeopleSupport : HOLIDAY BLUSH which everyone wanted to be talked about after … so bring on the cinched belts! the red pumps! The red headbands! The red eyes! **Rolling eyes at this**. By the way, What Dress code?   

I left Body and Soul after getting my hair done at 6pm. I was still talking to my favorite boy Marlon at home before I realized that Oh, I was supposed to get dressed. My favorite stylist O was busy with the rest of the girls and I was already done doing my own ensemble already after he was relieved of his duties lol. No, i wasn’t draped in all red but a baby doll dress with puffed sleeves. Pimp the red outfit? My handbag!  

At eight o’clock Parklane Hotel was already milling with people in every imaginable red outfit. Registration was at the second floor with employees logging in with their ID numbers or they wouldn’t be given food AND beer stubs. Beer! Beer! No cocktails??! Sorry to the people who are not on leave or restdays because beer wouldn’t be served. Hahah. Lots of glamarazzi moments, phots here.

  Since one floor can only accommodate half of PeopleSupport, the third and fourth floor were reserved entirely for the night. Sadly, floors separated the crowd because of that arrangement pfft pfft and not everyone can bond together with the new faces. (Oh my God, I didn’t know that guy works here!) Good thing Gruppo Tribale was present to show the employees a taste of what a real party is like! The rest of the bands developed an attack of the blahs.

We had to conclude at 2am at Starbucks and my friends from Convergys texted that they were heading over to Vudu because their party from Waterfront ended at the same time. I so wanted to go but medrep amazingly followed. Kit eyed him warily if he was drunk and lo, he was. “Feel ko he is forever drunk,” Kit had to say. Feel ko she doesn’t trust the guy driving her, Sheila and of course Zizou home but she had no choice teehee. Nightcap with a sleepover and forget about the goosebumps after hearing the girls tease, boyfriend. Shudder. Shudder.

hobbitual dates

Getting back from CDO just to work on your Friday shift, just to make the management happy, just to stay employed means not being in Chito’s wedding on Monday, not seeing Chinese Jesus. In short, what a bitch.

I got back and fell right instantly on the dating scene again. This time his name was Carlo and it’s the first time I’m writing down real names since there are hundreds of Carlos in ‘Pinas. He is soooo adorable. Again on my 3-inch stilettos we are almost standing at the same height he could put his elbow on my shoulder instead of putting his arm around it. Which is bad… These things are not necessarily indicative of a larger trend, right? Cause I’d stop dating from now on faster that you can say ingsihurharbaollooololchurbvaekekals. Insigida. First , the basketball players. Second, the hobbits! Waah. ‘Lang kwenta.

Plus plus plus, he is cute. Totoy cute. Not my type but according to Mitz, pasa ang mga totoy kay maoy ampay ni Ate! (Please pass on the totoy boys because those are the men I prefer)) Hahah! Carlo has a silver loop on his right ear as if trying hard to be tough but coming up kengkoy. Another expiration dater cause the boi is just in Cebu for the entire holiday week until January.

We went to go see the new  CICC and yes, asthmatic. Breathtaking.

He thought CICC was wholesome so next was Bean Spot in A.S. Fortuna for Espressos. He thought AS Fortuna was the most un-wholesome street that’s why he made the biglang liko which left me stunned. No, I didn’t sleep with him which disappointed Mitz (“Libre na sana ko lunch!”) and relieved my wallet. Why? Red Alert. Tsk tsk. Carlo was disappointed but told me he still wants to see me again. Awww.. pingis ang show.

Saturday was our team’s party at my teammate Ciara’s hause in Sto. Niño. Medrep called and told me he’ll be picking me up at 11. Come 11, he asked if 12 is okay. I politely declined to friends who wanted to bring me to Vudu themselves because someone’s picking me up. That someone didn’t call until 1am leaving me p’od so much I didn’t talk to him in the car all the way to the short ride going to Crossroads leaving me pissed more because I could have prolonged the drama if it was all the way to Dumaguete. The argument culminated in the parking lot after 5 minutes of silence and steely glares.

“Sensya na, sweet. My boss wouldn’t let me go.”
“I don’t care. You could have texted. I had to decline offers to take me here.”
“Why didn’t you? Then i will pick you up here if you went.”
“BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO WAIT. Never mind. I’m going inside.”
“No, I’m taking you home.”
“Since when did you start telling me what to do?”
“Umm…”

Then I got off and slammed the door for much added effect. He was staring at my back the whole time I can feel it burning a hole thru my bra. My teammate Chris was outside when I got into Vudu and saw how angry I was. I instantly told him about my crazy date and he offered to drive me home. Thanks Gandalf, let Frodo go home by himself.
