Turon ang solusyon...

Kung may bisitang banyaga at di alam ang ipapakain/ipapatikim, turon ang solusyon. Turong saging at ipakilala sya bilang simpleng "'Sorta banana spring roll. Sweet. For dessert."


Ngayong buwan ko lamang natutunan ito. May bisitang Singaporean, at isang kasama sa planta ang parang tiwalang-tiwalang umorder ng turon. Pagkatapos kumain, aba, gustung-gusto nila.

Sumunod naman ay mga Aleman. Aba, "fantastic" daw. "Thanks for the great lunch."

small point: kung ako mag-iinterbyu (job interview)...

... gusto kong makitang maglakad ang aplikante papunta sa kantin o papapasok ng planta. Hindi ko i-ha-hire pag mabagal maglakad. Malaki kasi ang probability na pag mabagal maglakad e inuuna ang porma, mabagal mag-isip, mas iniisip ang itsura nya kaysa trabaho, naapektuhan agad sa iniisip ng iba kaysa trabaho, isip masyado image, medyo tamad, medyo di pursigido, medyo teks ang inuuna, at/o medyo di makakarating sa paroroonan agad.

Pero syemps ang mahal ko ay exempted. Kasi ginawa nyang trademark talaga ang kembot. Naririnig naman sa boses at galaw ang kanyang determinasyon (taliwas sa kanyang lakad). Kasama na rin ang konsiderasyon na mas maliliit ang kanyang mag hakbang.

Exempted din ang mga buntis.

Renaldo Lapuz



I just want to write for posterity that I stayed up 'til 130am to watch pinoy Renaldo Lapuz in American Idol. Waited for him since seeing the advertisement of his pamperya arrival.
He sang his original composition "We're brother's forever..."

"I am your brother
Your best friend forever
Singing the songs The music that you like
We're brothers til the end of time
Together forever til the end of time
I am your brother
Your best friend forever Singing the songs The music that you like
We're brothers til the end of time Together or not, you're always in my heart
..."


Was it his plan to exhibit one of the perennial, "off-the-shelf," pinoy trait... sipsip and suck-up to Simon? Seems genuine though and Simon loves being sucked-up to.

I still maintain that William Hung and Renaldo should be paid premium for supplying entertainment. There was even this girl from a previous episode that they used as a perfect narrator to the ending montage.



And at the very least we look up to Renaldo for having the balls to arrive in a pamperya attire and do what we can't: speak in pure Filipino accent, sing the trademark inuman karaoke voice, hold back tears on tv (another pinoy-tv trademark), and become a youtube hit.

His name could be Reynaldo though. Idol staff could have stupidly missed the y.
