8 Insanely Random Facts About Me

I have been tagged by Roy eons ago for this meme but I haven't been able to blog as much so I'm posting this just now. Also used the same info for a similar meme I answered several months back. :)

1. I like things to be really organized that I need an organizer to organize my organizers. Really. For instance, I have several notebooks at work to keep track of what I'm doing. I have one for internal trainings, one for my to-do lists, one for process observation notes, one as a scratch whenever I feel like doodling, and on top of that I still have a journal.

I also come up with all sorts of trackers, quick links, and folders in the shared drive.
With the intent of keeping things organized, it usually becomes more disorganized.

2. I'm not a music fan so don't ask me about the latest releases. However, if I hear something that I like, I can listen to that song repeatedly for days on end.

3. I have my own weird way of eating one of my favorite chocolates. Twix, for instance, I start with eating all the chocolate and caramel and save the biscuits for last.

4. I love cakes...but when I dine out, I really have difficulty choosing which cake to try that I end up not buying one. In fact, I haven't bought a slice of cake in ages. Nevermind if I salivate daily over the displays at Goodies & Sweets and Coffee Beanery on my way to work.

5. Lastly, I love expired chocolates. All chocolates have the same distinct taste when it expires that I just can't say no to. In fact, the chocolate drink of a famous coffee shop became one of my favorites because it tastes just like that!

6. I don't know how to cook. Yes, I took up hotel, restaurant, and institution management in college but it doesn't follow that I'm also a good cook.

7. I don't like to shop for clothes. I'd have difficulty shelling out a few bucks for clothes but wouldn't mind spending more for a book I like.

8. I've never been drunk!

Mababaw na Kaligayahan

As most of you already know, I have finally moved to Mandaluyong. I'm now a city lad! Hahaha!

The place though quite bare is a huge convenience since it takes me roughly about 10 minutes to get to work. I do, however, get bored since I don't have a tv and an internet connection yet. Last night, to pass off time, I rummaged through some of the junk that I brought there and was surprised to find tickets to musicals that my sister and I watched a few years back. Ang saya mag-reminisce.

A couple of announcements from Sykes made us all very happy. First, since there is a heavy downpour, McDonald's will be setting up their booth at one of our floors. Nothing can be more convenient! The second announcement, on top of our regular daily transpo allowance, all our taxi fares for the day will be reimbursed! Yey!!!

The Pillowman

The Pillowman is a play by Martin McDonagh. A drama, it tells the tale of Katurian, a fiction writer living in a police state who is interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories, and their similarities to a number of bizarre incidents occurring in his town.

The play had its world premiere on November 13, 2003 at the Royal National Theatre, starring David Tennant as Katurian, the play's primary focus, Jim Broadbent as Tupolski his lead interrogator, Nigel Lindsay as Ariel, and Adam Godley as Michal. It received the 2004 Olivier Award and an Evening Standard Award nomination for Best New Play. It was directed by John Crowley.

Katurian is being interviewed; Some of the short stories he wrote are similar to some bizarre child murders that are happening in the town. Katurian of course denies these allegations, stating that although his stories are gruesome it is the job of a storyteller to tell a story. After being tortured Katurian is thrown into a room with his mentally handicapped brother Michal. Michal says that he was the one who killed the children, and was only doing what was in the stories because “that is what his brother wanted him to do”. Katurian doesn’t want his brother to be executed for something that he wasn’t fully cognizant about so Katurian smothers his brother with a pillow. Katurian then later confesses to the murders of the three children, making a deal with Tupolski and Ariel that if he did they would not destroy his stories. When the police find the crime scenes they find that his description of them do not match the crime scenes at all. They know that Katurian wasn’t the murderer, but he is executed anyway for the murder of his parents and Michal.
