emo mode

This is cyrus .. one of my newest friends in the new company i am working for. We both came from the same town.. the most beautiful city in the south.. Davao so its a no brainer why we clicked.. and it is his birthday today. December 5th. same date as my beloved kuya don

thats my kuya now, the one wearing brown ha (at hindi ako yang isa aunt ko yan .. sorry he doesnt like much picturan so yan na ang isa sa cute na kuha nya… Now if i were a judge for a prize giving award for exceptional people.. i would let my kuya win (walang favor in hand yan). Its a long story but i love my kuya’s character, i really look up to him as an example ng saying na “PAg may tiyaga my nilaga” or what have you. Dedicated sa work, sa life, sa family.. ay nko i just dont know why he is not married yet till now ( i recalled him saying that he is still not able to get into the point where he could say he is really inlove, knacks)

There is so much to say about my kuya yet i am always flinging for words when i think of something to write for him, the two of us shared a special bond, we both grew up kay lola and thats a different story altogether. And with his pa serious epek always, i guess most people would say suplado or uber serious but he is not really.. he just like that he thinks all the time. He was the one who patiently taught me geometry and trigo in high school and he never ever ever ever gets frustrated when i look at him blankly (siguro nasa isip nya “bobo nito”) but just explains the whole freaking thing altogether. I miss him alot.

Well to my handsome kuya, heypi birthday more birthdays more beers.. i love you always..

Then theres cy again, heres another angle …

ang pretty ko

Some twenty plus years ago (sa Tecarro hospital daw) ini-re ng mama nya si cyrus paul.. Hats off with his mom, after all she brought a brillant guy into the world (weh). When I was very new to E.com, i figured i’d survive (moving in from a more bloody account) mahirap din pala specially joining a much tenured team. Cy, was kind enough to help me out (in so many ways hehe). He brought in so much comfort, 1st because we speak the same dialect (dabawenyong bisaya of course!) 2nd because he made the transistion so much easy, when in the midst of his calls, he would stop to answer my questions…

As in my previous posts, this part of my life for several months or so has been one of the most turbulent times. Moving into a new job, finally deciding to move further with a relationship and dedicate a whole lot more to it, Iya pursuing chinese lessons (which bothered me to no end when she speaks in chinese) , conflicting family matters.. i was wounded and whenever i have no escape, i felt i found comfort at my workplace (which is something amazing!!!!! really

considering i have always hated spending so much time at work and never outside of it) and cy was one of the m

ain reasons for that, his jokes and how he unselfishly listens just makes me forget all the pain..I looked forward to working even if i struggled so much it was still worth spending a day with friends like him.

As in my previous posts as well, cy was the one who introduce me to our office barney in pink, he pointed out w

here the “better view” of the office is or are for that matter, he unabashedly singled out whos gay and whos not (funny kasi confusing talaga dito sa 5th floor, kahit ang mukhang mader ay father pala or the other way around). He also was my source of business related materials, especially, PEP, friendster, 50+ proxies for bawal na bawal na sites, mariah carey singles and of course my new love (internet love) the DAVAO THREAD OF SKYSCRAPER CITY, which i ended up leaving an old forum for(un miracle un sabi ni wafu).

PLULEEEZZZZz… is cy’s trademark expression, and everytime na nakukulitan sya he would say (sabihin mo muna, pluuuuleeezzz). I didnt notice how i imbibed this personally till

one day iya said “PLUUULLEEZZZZ” … hmmm shocking…

To cy, happy birthday.. in my case i always say “another year older, none the wiser” (ayaw sundog ma’am!!) may you be more wise, more pretty, more graceful, more sexy, more contri to humanity and biology… biologically haha..
