ANONG LEVEL KA NA?

I share a room with my boss and we were both very quiet this afternoon minding our own business. So you can imagine my surprise when she suddenly yelled with both arms raised,

Boss: Finally! I've been stuck in that level for a few days na!
Me: A-ha! So anong level ka na sa Candy Crush?

HAHAHAHA!

Eh ikaw, anong level ka na? Ako, 92.

Interviewed an applicant today,

Me: What do you do during your free time? Any hobbies or interests? Do you play a sport?
Applicant: I like to read e-books.
Me: Oh that's nice.  What kind of books do you read?
Applicant: Real-life stories and romance novels.
Me: Ah, so you're a lover or fiction and non-fiction. So what's your ultimate favorite book?
Applicant: Fiction.

*facepalm*

Eventually (after much prodding), she said her favorite book was entitled "The Diary" and she did not know the author.

Labo, men.!

SLEAZY IS ME

Funny exchange of SMS with Kookie at around noon today:

Kookie: Girls, did you watch???

Me: Watch what? The sex video? Hahahaha! I did!

(2 seconds after sending the text)

Me: I just realized you might be talking about American Idol. Ang sleazy ng utak ko! Hahahahahha!!!

Kookie: What sex video? American Idol! Sleazy na tawag ko sayo!

I had to explain to Kookie what the sex video was and who was in it. She didn't even know the guy. Hahahha!

To my defense, the reason why that darn sex video was on my head was people at work couldn't stop talking about it all night. (palusot paaaa! Hahaha!)

INTERVIEW BOO-BOOS

I asked an applicant earlier-- Why do you want to work for a call center?

She answers, "To improve my oral abilities."

I almost fell off my chair.

I looked at her in the eye and said, "Never say that again. Next time, just say you want to improve your communication skills, never say oral abilities again, okay?"

KALOKA!!!!

QUICK POST

While having coffee this morning, I browsed through the chinese cookbook I borrowed from my friend last weekend.

I almost spilled my coffee when I turned to this page:



At first glance, I thought that Hunan was Human.

CONVERSATIONS WITH CLETO

Note: If you don't know Cleto, read this.

Was at the coffee vendo machine this morning when I saw Cleto.

Me: Hi Cleto! How are you?

Cleto: I'm busy.

Me: Busy with what?

Cleto: Terrible things.

Me: What terrible things have you been doing?

Cleto: [pauses--obviously thinking of an answer] Mamaya na tayo mag-usap.

I laughed so hard!

CONVERSATIONS WITH CLETO #1

Cleto is our office messenger. At least once a week, I ask him to deposit or pay my bills for me. And just for kicks, I always always speak to him in english because his replies are hilarious! I can't believe I never blogged about him before.

As soon as I saw him this morning, I asked,

Me: Cleto, are you going to the bank today?
Cleto: Sooner or later.

Hehehehehe!

Will post more conversations with Cleto soon :)


This is me and Cleto at an officemate's wedding a couple of years ago(sigh! ang payat ko pa nun!)

LV

My officemate, Jhoy was wearing a top with LV prints on it. One of the agents saw her and said,

"Ma'm Jhoy..wwoowww! Sosyal! Viniton!!!"

Oh yes, that was exactly how she pronounced it.

i think that just made my Friday :)

Enjoy your weekend!

RENALDO LAPUZ

If you saw the latest episode of American Idol, you know what I'm talking about. The next William Hung is no doubt a Filipino (he has his own website na agad!). It was so easy to tell by the accent, the way he looked and his name!

Is it something to be proud of? I think, yes. While his song was tacky, his voice wasn't that bad. And he's funny!

Watch his audition video here.

He's our brother forever! Hahahaha!

WHY MY NAME IS SUCH A HIT

I was on the phone with a Filipina client based in the United States. We were about to end our conversation when,

Client: What's your name again?
Me: It's Bunny, Ma'm.
Client: Oh I will never forget that name. You have the same name as the character in my grandson's favorite show. He watches it every morning.
Me: oh really? (The kid loves Bugs Bunny, who doesn't?)
Client: Yes, he always watches that show...that big dinosaur.
Me: Hmm. Okay, it was nice talking to you. Thank you!

Nyaaaaahhhhhh.
