A Tribute to Girlie Ritarita and the former Chakulits Team

Ang entry na ito ay alay kay Girlie. Isang dear friend at former teammate. I just want to share yung story na "sinend" ni Girlie after the chakulit team building. Hindi ko inaasahang makita ito sa isa sa aking mga archived emails.
Here's the Story: (June 04,2007)
Sa hinaba-haba ng pagpaplano in short hindi natuloy dahil kinailangang magpagaling ng ating boss chief. And besides maraming balakid such as na retract ang PTO, walang nahanap na ka-swap at ang balakid sa lahat wala pang sweldo.
Madami ng nawala sa team (mazen, karl, jv, edge) at hindi pa rin natutuloy ang gimik. Ngunit may dumating na bago, una ay guest lang sya pero dahil sa tagal ng plano kasali na sya sa team. Kamusta naman ang powers ni Mau, katumbas nya ang apat na umalis. The team decided na ituloy na ng june 3. We all have our assigned tasks, every week/day may update sa OL regarding th place,budget,van etc. including the chat session of jamie and keith. Habang papalapit ang linggo wala pa ring plano kahit bagsak presyo na ang budget. Sabi ni supe sunday na lang mag meeting dahil kumpleto ang team. Feeling ko nga nun member kami ng "bahala na" gang. Then sunday came at long last, I won't elaborate here kung pano na finalized ang lahat, y'all know what happenned.
So before kami maka alis ng makati madami pa ring kamalasan ang nangyari. Ang plano alis na ng 7:30, i'm sure may mga bloopers ang grupo ng mga nag-grocery if you like share nyo din. Going back to the office, bago p man mag log-out si Mau may bwiset call sya tas tomgutz na kami. 730 na wala pa rin ang kabilang grupo, wala pa rin si tophet. kailangang silang sunduin dahil walang cab, tas balik sa office dahil sa mga gamit, nawala shades ko, walang damit ang mga dalaga na si mau and jamie, hindi pa rin maka contact si mau, may nasalubong kaming 2 bata. Haller 9pm na yata nasa makati pa kami. Sa wakas nasa van na, this is it! tuloy na talaga pero wala pa ring destinasyon. Nadiskubre namin na wala pa lang baso, yelo, ulam at ligong-ligo na ang mga peeps. Habang sinusuyod namin ang laguna kailangan ring mahanap si andok's kung hindi 2 kilo ng hotdog ang kakainin. Ewan ko ba, ang daming hotdog kala ko nga may mga batang bisita na darating, heheh..
Woohooo, continue with our roadtrip, pinasok namin lahat ng resort as in canvass talaga. Splash mountain, Makiling highlands, pero panalo sa lahat ang paghahanap sa "infamous" valley view resort. Akala namin wala na sa mapa ng laguna ang lugar. Wagi talaga ang paghahanap na yun ultimo mga tulog na guards kinabog ni tophet. woohoo, keith! rock on! wag kang magpapakita samin,heheh. joke! So balik Splash na lang, akala ng lahat yun na. Final destination,makakaligo na ang lahat. Ngunit, subalit datapwat bakit.. not meant to be talaga. Moment of the day, sinugod ni Empress ang hitad na receptionist. Mega english sya dahil walang disclaimer ang lola. heheh.. so refund ever naman ang bruha, pano bagsak sya sa IMAP. ok fine! we took the suggestion of kuya the driver. Monte Vista Pansol. Pagpasok pa lang ang daming bodyguard, kaliwa't kanan naka motor. In fairness the long wait is so worth it. Naawa din at best deal ang nakuha namin. Too bad mau had to leave. We really missed you there, panalo ang hirit mo about taong hamog..
The End.
PS.
Miss you Girlie-Girlie Rita....

Taho naman jan..
Fast forward to August 2008, I pitched the idea to Gwennie and Vani to try the "Ve-G Meat" dishes after shift. I know Gwen would be somewhat willing since she recently turned vegan but with Vani, still not sure whether she's into that. To my delight, Vani decided to try it out as well. We ordered dishes that we didn't bother ask what it was as long as it looks good. We ended up with 2 dishes each, 2 rice for me (takaw) and 1 and half rice for each of them. As dessert, we had the infamous Chilled Taho. Love it! So stuffed are we that we decided to pass the time, let the food settle in our tummies and be cam whores for the moment... (Gwen decided to buy some Ve-G Tapa as well)

What's with the 50 questions?
Things you shouldn't know about the fairies.
1. Who are you?
J: Jamie De Jesus
G: Jamie you're supposed to answer I'm the goddess of fire etc etc but OK I'm Gwen.
2. Why did you decide to go online and why reigningpoks?
J: The internet is the medium of the free. Reigningpoks? Simple, I reign and I'm POKS
G: I love my life and I love to celebrate my freedom so this is where I share my adventures and misadventures. When I decided to post a blog for Jamie and I, I always thought of giving it a fancy name like "dyosa ng ka pokpokan" but it sounds so weird and people might misunderstand the word so I decided to use poks which literally means "pok-pok" and reigning because I don't know we reign like queens in our own way.
3. What type of stuff do you usually post in your blog?
J: Dine outs, Faces and places during the "Gimiks
G: Poks doesn't always mean being flirt, this blog is all about celebration of whatever - from dining out, to sipping coffee or just a walk from the office to Jamie's flat.
4. So, who is your superhero aside from Volta?
J: My alter-ego Sailormoon!
G: If kerokerokeropi has powers to rule over hello kitty world then he's my superhero. (please, do not hate me hello kitty folks ^.^ )
5. Do you feature other people in your blog?
J: Of course. Depends on what they did and what actually happened. Those are some of the criteria for other people to be included in our Blog.
G: Of course, if we feel like giving you a taste of what it feels like to be in this blog or if we like you hehehe (we don't hate people actually, right Jams?). No qualification actually, if you have what it takes to be a POKS then your in!
6. Do you read each other's mind?
J:Sort of. Most of the time we think the same. No need to read each other's thoughts.
G: Not really, I can read Jamie through his face. Say if it's oil all over his forehead then it would mean a 30-minute ritual inside the men's room. I really wish I could sneak inside and pretend to be one. heheheh
7. Do you hate boys?
J: I hate not having Hot boys around... But most of the time I prefer Men than Boys.. ^_^
G: NO WAY! is this a real question? Are you serious? nyahaha
8. Describe Jamie/Gwen.
J: Jamie is Borderline weird and poks, Gwen is way Far-out weird and poks!
G: I think our parents have swapped the x and y chromosomes combination.
9. Do you drink? Smoke? Party? Laugh? Cry? Fart? Dance? Sing?
J: I drink, don't smoke (Bad for the skin), Party a lot if I can, laugh most of the time, cry sometimes, Fart everyday, dance occasionally (usually w/ a pole), sing occasionally as well.
G: Drink and get drunk yeah! I don't smoke. I party with friends. I don't go out with strangers. I laugh and I laugh harder and I love to cry and laugh at the same time, so yeah I am crazy. I fart everyday of course. I sing and croak like a frog and yeah I am a good dancer.
10.Will you cry when Jamie or Gwen die?
J: Of course, I even cried when I threw-out my old toothbrush. That's how sentimental I get. Much more if somebody special died.
G: If he dies ugly i'll laugh then i'll get him out of the coffin and put some powder and blush on, that'll give us both peace of mind but when he dies otherwise then he's giving me the reason to cry.
11.What are your favorite movies?
J: Phantom of the Opera, Harry Potter Series, and other sci-fi fantasy flicks.
G: The eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, Wicker Park, Fight Club, 23, Crazy Beautiful, My Best Friend's wedding, Crouching tiger hidden dragon.
12. Are you right handed? Left Handed?
J: Right!
G: I can do magic on both.
13.What's your favorite quote?
J: My Body belongs to everyone but My Heart belongs to only one.
G: Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about. Ideas, language, even the phrase "each other" doesn't make any sense. - Rumi
14.What do you think is you most memorable moment with Jamie/Gwen?
J: When we pursued a chinese Hottie and asked irrelevant questions just to "make landi" to the guy.

Series of Unconsiously Misleading Events

Issue # 2. Jamie and Raine
Location: CCP, Manila
Occation: PS Year-end party 2007
Gusto ko sanang sabihing magkamukha kayo dito since etong post na to ay tungkol sa mukhang mag jowa, yeah, mukha kayong mag jowa dito. LOL. Pero hindi talaga talo. Una sa lahat si Raine may totoong boyfriend yan tapos mag housemates pa silang dalawa ni Jamie. Hindi sila tomboy para maging silang para ding kami ni Kiko. Pero lam mo Jams kahit tong picture na to di ka mapagkamalang lalaki talaga eh. Antayin ka mo nila yung kuha nating dalawa na mas mukha pa akong lalaki sa yo at mas mapula pa yung labi mo ke sa labi ko.
On the 4th day He rose Again...
by Jamie
At long last nakapahinga rin me after marathon work and gala. 3 days of no sleep can really tale a toll on you and your beauty (naks!)
Eto kasi ang mga nangyari:
Day1: Thursday - July 24 - 8:30pm (Muntinlupa)
I woke up at 8:30pm to prepare for work and to fix my things. Dahil kakagaling ng rest day, may mga dalang clothes na pina laundry. And from muntinlupa, nag travel me to makati for my work.
Day2: Friday - July 25 - 1am (Makati)
At dahil 1st day of my work week, trabaho lang ng walang katapusan (may konting ka ek ekan n rin) hanggang mag log out ng 10am. After shift, met gwennie para mag crash course sa Frontpage to fix my website (http://www.schemingflirt.com/).
2pm na nang we left office for food sa chowking and konting chismis.
4:30 pm: We then proceeded to my place para mag video marathon dahil nag decide me na wag na matulog 'coz I have to meet my friends for a Bday celebration sa MOA ng 7pm.
7:00 pm: Nasa condo p rin me at nagaayos ng sarili coz nawili me kaka nuod ng Sex and the City Series. (yun yung naging video marathon)
9:00 pm: Finally arrived sa MOA. Grand entrance si Ate, uber fashionably late. After i-greet ang aking friend na si Tharane ng Happy Birthday, walang humpay na chismisan, kwentuhan, inuman and kainan sa Gerry's ang nangyari. Tagal n kasi hindi nagkitakita ang mga college buddies ko and me.

Eto and Bday Girl na si Tharane
Day 3: Saturday - July 26 - 1am (Makati)
1:00 am: Fresh from my MOA escapade, kahit warla na kaiinom, derecho n naman sa aking pinakamamahal na PEOPLESUPPORT to work. Ganun ko kamahal ang aking company and ang aking work. (Wahahahahaha). At dahil walang 2log c loka, may paunti unting idlip na nasisingit dahil wala naman queue ng calls.
10:00 am: Log out. After shift, nakipag kita naman me sa aking mga friendly friends (mykeps, gwen, car, cash, cha-cha, marcy, joel and kiko), para sa konting brunch and konting inom.
12:30 pm: Napadpad kami sa Greenbelt para ipagpatuloy ang pagkain sa Red Box. Eat-Drink-Sing All you can kasi ang promo nila. Nagbago ang composition ng group, umuwi n c cha-cha and kiko, c mykeps ay bumalik sa work ulit, pero napalitan naman cla ng malanding c Mau. Lamon at Concert ang nangyari sa loob ng Red Box, kulang n lang pti yung mic ay kinain.
3:00 pm: Tpos n ang gig sa Red Box. Kailangan ng gawin ang dapat gawin. Humiwalay na si Joel and c Marcy. Punta kami sa marks and spencer to buy lingerie ni car. After ng bra, naisipan ni mau na magpaayos ng Hair. at dahil maarte ang lola, dinala namin sa Bench Fix. Dapat magpapa foot spa c gwennie para may kasabay c mau, kaya lang wala ang mga foot spa-ista. Nauwing mag isa nag paayos si mau... ng hair. At isa pang malanding request ni mau ay wag sya maiwan mag isa, ninenerbyos ata, kaya nagpaiwan n rin c gwennie. That left me, car and cash para mag buy ng Electric fan ni ninang gwennie and mag grocery ng kung anung anik anik. Na-sad p c Car kasi hindi sya ang nkapili ng pork na pang sinigang. (yung ate sa meat section ang namili). Me naman, bumili ng kalandian aka products of science sa watsons. Pag balik sa Bench fix, nashock kami and natuwa.... TAO na si mau.
7:00 pm: At long last we decided to part ways na. Talagang bumabagsak na ang eyes ko and mga super daming yawns n lang ang nagagawa ko. Pagka dating sa condo, nag ayos lang ng sarili and then punta n ulit sa work.
Day 4 - Sunday - 12:00 am (Makati)
12:00 am: Napadpad me ulit sa pinakamamahal kong PEOPLESUPPORT to work. At dahil maaga me ng 1 hr, naidlip n lang ako.
12:57 am: Ewan ko ba at bigla na lang me nagising like crazy. Wala naman gumising sakin. Miracle ata kasi 1:00am kelangan na mag log in.
1:00 am: Walang humpay na pag trabaho n naman. Hindi gaano naka idlip kasi paminsan-minsan nagkaka queue.
10:00 am: log out na sa wakas. walang kaibi-kaibigan. derecho uwi.
10:45 am: Nag saing me para may makain. Pag katapos i Press ang cook rice setting, humiga muna me para mag text....
10:00 pm: Bigla n lang akong nagising kasi nag alarm yung phone ko. Naka2log n pala ako. Goodluck sa sinaing. Kinain n lang ng mga housemates ko pag dating nila. Hindi na naman ako nakakain. Kung nasunog cguro yung condo, namatay na ko dahil mas malala p me sa 2 log mantika ng araw na yun.
THE END
Boys and Girls, to Follow n lang ang mga Images ok? ^_^

Maldita Ka Gwennie (Just LIke Me!)
Anyways, kung nabasa nyo ang panimulang Blog ni ninang, halos lahat ng kaPOKSan nagawa na namin. Nangunguna jan ang pag-ispiya at panghahabol sa Hottie Chinese sa Greenbelt:
Dba panalo? Landi lang talaga. Wala pa jan ang walang humpay n pag lamon at pag try ng kung anu anung restos. Weakness tlga pag Eat-all-You-can. Kulang n lang pagulungin kami sa sobrang kabusugan (sulitin kasi mahal no!). Nanjan na ang pagkakasakit namin ni mau the day after we binged, ang pag eksena sa CR ni Rain sa Glorietta, ang pagkasira ng tyan ni Gwennie, and to top it all off, ang pag collapse ni Girlie pagkauwi nya. (No thanks sa Eat all you can sa Dads, Kamayan and Saisaki).

I would have to say na very happy me at napunta me sa PS, dahil kung hindi, walang salitang POKS!, walang reyna ang ELINK Web Hosting (Sori mau! na dethrone naman me, kaya ok lang), wala me nakilala na mga super lovable peeps sa Hosting. I Labs You All!!
Until the next POKS Misadventures... Mwuah Mwuah!!!
